[SPEAKER_04]: I got to the park.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's political.
[SPEAKER_07]: I got to the park.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thinking, ready to come.
[SPEAKER_07]: You think at the park, wherever you are.
[SPEAKER_07]: The pilot takes part.
[SPEAKER_04]: Shotsmith, Pearson, Jody Hamilton.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hey, Choney!
[SPEAKER_11]: Hey, Sean!
[SPEAKER_11]: Guess what?
[SPEAKER_11]: We've only got two more work days this week.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yay!
[SPEAKER_14]: And you forgot it, which Thursday today.
[SPEAKER_14]: Ha ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_11]: I totally forgot it, which Thursday.
[SPEAKER_11]: The good thing about short weeks is their short.
[SPEAKER_11]: The bad thing about short weeks is... You forget what day it is.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, that's true, too.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm like, what the hell day isn't plus?
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I've had to work Monday.
[SPEAKER_11]: She's normally off Monday.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, and that she's got to issue.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, that's supposed to be off today, but then she's off tomorrow, because they had changed shifts.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is very confusing one of those where you're like, can I please?
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, I like short weeks, but I understand the, well, like because the holiday was on Monday, our trash pickup is normally on Wednesday, so they pushed it to today.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right, see, this is the kind of thing with short weeks where you're just like, okay, guys, I get it.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, everything's a little bit off and it's nice, but it is exactly the same thing with vacations and holidays and things where you're just like, oh crap, you just, you know, especially here in the U.S.
[SPEAKER_11]: I like that in other countries, among other things that they do, they staff up enough so that you can actually have a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a
[SPEAKER_11]: have vacations and people take them as opposed to okay you're going to go on a vacation now you have to work twice as hard and when you get back you'll have to work twice as hard for a little bit so that you can make up for that time that you're not here and like no.
[SPEAKER_14]: I know we'd like I'd like a staff for us.
[SPEAKER_11]: I would love a step for us.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's a lot.

[SPEAKER_11]: He used to, you know, I've talked with you that Bruce and I are friendly and, you know, we've run a launch and other things and he used to get a bunch of newspapers, used to subscribe to all this stuff and he's like TV news today is crap.
[SPEAKER_11]: He said a lot of print publications have gone to crap, the Washington Post has gone to crap and he's like, where do you get this and I said, well, you have to find somebody who
[SPEAKER_11]: I said, which we do that for the people who are here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: We make sure that we aggregates, you know, 30 to 35 good stories, some entertainment, all kinds of fun stuff.

[SPEAKER_11]: So that way you guys, whoever you are here in the bar and you can give it to your friends, you can be, look, it's just the good crap.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's just the good news or not really good news.
[SPEAKER_11]: But at least it's the important news that you need to know.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, not all of it is good.
[SPEAKER_11]: There is some good news though.
[SPEAKER_11]: We can start with that today because we usually start with garbage and well, we are going to talk about RFK junior who is a pilot.
[SPEAKER_14]: Who is garbage?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, God.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, but I want to start with some good news first because, you know, it's Thursday.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's been a weird weird thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: The Powerball jackpot.
[SPEAKER_11]: Some people might say it's bad news.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think it's good news.
[SPEAKER_11]: It jumped up to 1.7 and it's now at 1.8 billion.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I'm going to get a ticket.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have I have been getting ticket.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't usually get them and yes, I know in theory that the odds are better if it's lower but look whatever I'm willing to spend 10 bucks and get five tries.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, because Okay, so I after if you just took the cash option if you take the annuity you have to stay alive for the next 30 years
[SPEAKER_11]: can't you can't you will it to others I'm not entirely sure that you can but if you take the cash only option I believe right now it's somewhere between 750 and 800 million dollars we know what to do with that
[SPEAKER_11]: I know what I would do.
[SPEAKER_11]: Invest in progressive radio.
[SPEAKER_11]: I would invest in great left-leaning radio, great left-leaning media.
[SPEAKER_11]: I would be like, yes, Ms.
[SPEAKER_11]: Miller.
[SPEAKER_11]: Here's a couple million dollars for you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Mr. Hartman, you get some, I would go around and be like, Bob SESCA.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, God, yes, you know, Bob.
[SPEAKER_11]: John Fielsen.
[SPEAKER_11]: Here's some for you, Bob.
[SPEAKER_11]: And here's some for you, Kim, really.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, yeah, definitely, John.
[SPEAKER_11]: Who, by the way, his book comes out in five days.
[SPEAKER_11]: Dad, I can't wait.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm here in the bar tonight.
[SPEAKER_11]: definitely great.
[SPEAKER_11]: I still need to send him that email requesting that the book because I've been doing other things.
[SPEAKER_11]: Jared Rizzi going to be in tonight today too tonight today.
[SPEAKER_11]: Whatever.
[SPEAKER_11]: Sorry, brain fart.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a Thursday.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's going to update us on the ridiculous more on fascism of Donnie in DC.
[SPEAKER_11]: Remember, we said what would happen in LA when the National Guards people had their motivation got down.
[SPEAKER_11]: They were all pissed up.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's happening again in DC.
[SPEAKER_11]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_11]: So this is this way.
[SPEAKER_11]: But some good news.
[SPEAKER_11]: Like I said, the power ball is jumped up.
[SPEAKER_11]: So you
[SPEAKER_11]: is going to release the electric version of the Nebraska sessions.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh wow.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, no kidding.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's going to be pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then there's also going to be one of the really cool things.
[SPEAKER_11]: U.S.
[SPEAKER_11]: Open, obviously.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll find out what the semi finals are tonight.
[SPEAKER_11]: Obviously, there's the NFL, but in season season opener, Eagles and Cowboys tonight too.
[SPEAKER_11]: But Naomi Osaka and American Amanda and Esemova are in the semi finals tonight.
[SPEAKER_11]: So we will.
[SPEAKER_11]: So pretty cool things there that way.
[SPEAKER_11]: So all right, all right, all right.
[SPEAKER_11]: We've got to get to the ugly stuff here, because RFK Jr went up on Capitol Hill today.
[SPEAKER_11]: And of course he was more on because he's RFK Jr.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh my God.
[SPEAKER_11]: You and I were talking about this, even before we got to the bar today, we were texting back and forth.
[SPEAKER_11]: What was the clip from you sent me to clip, I didn't get it, but I should have.
[SPEAKER_13]: It's from absolutely fabulous.
[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, that's right, it is.
[SPEAKER_13]: Jennifer Saunders saying, oh, just die already.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, which we kind of feel like that about RFK because he's trying to kill us all.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, exactly, and he's such an idiot, and he lies, oh my God, he lies.
[SPEAKER_11]: Senator Ron Wyden today, first off in the hearing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Asked if RFK Jr.
[SPEAKER_11]: could be sworn in for the Senate Finance Committee hearing that he was testifying at, so that way, if he lied, then they could immediately call him for perjury and get rid of his ass.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, because you can't, I can't be good, Republicans in the Senate said no.
[SPEAKER_14]: So I told you earlier that I finally am going to get my COVID booster because they are available technically.
[SPEAKER_14]: So I'm getting that on Sunday, but CVS said in the form fill out they're like what state different states you're not allowed to do that.
[SPEAKER_14]: Thank you RFK Jr.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right, because it's so, there were a lot of, there were a lot of heroes today, and there were some losers today too, to be honest.
[SPEAKER_11]: Democratic heroes today, Senators Bennett, Kent, Well, Warner, Hassan, Sanders, and Warren.
[SPEAKER_11]: Sanders, he wants Dr. Minara's, the CDC director that RFK Jr.
[SPEAKER_11]: just fired.
[SPEAKER_11]: He wants her to testify at the Health Education and Labor and Pensions Committee, that the Health Committee.
[SPEAKER_11]: he wants her to come testify about everything because um rfk junior today multiple times said that she was lying in her piece in the wall street journal which we have that stuck in the news on tap today you can read it herself yourself but she basically told the story of her getting fired and he
[SPEAKER_11]: is called her a liar.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's a liar.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: So center center.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, we not only see, we have, we have a little clip here.
[SPEAKER_11]: A lot of people have been passing this clip around, but then, you know, not saying when it's from it's for March of 2024 when this Jack asked was running for president.
[SPEAKER_11]: And Casey Hunt was on CNN.
[SPEAKER_11]: And well, here, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll play it from the DVR.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have gained notoriety for your skepticism about vaccines.
[SPEAKER_00]: And over the summer and interview you said, quote, there's no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you still believe that?
[SPEAKER_00]: I never said that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you did stop me.
[SPEAKER_00]: We have the clip.
[SPEAKER_00]: Please play the clip.
[SPEAKER_06]: I just talked about that the media slanders you by calling you an anti-vaxxer.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you've said that you're not the anti-vaxxing, you're pro-safe vaccine.
[SPEAKER_06]: No.
[SPEAKER_06]: Difficult question.
[SPEAKER_06]: Can you name any vaccines that you think are good?
[SPEAKER_12]: I think some of the live Iris vaccines are probably saw a ferting more problems than they're causing.
[SPEAKER_12]: There's no vaccine that is safe and effective.
[SPEAKER_11]: He literally just said the thing, here I'll play the first part of this again.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have gained notoriety for your skepticism about vaccines.
[SPEAKER_00]: And over the summer and interview you said, there's no vaccine that is safe and effective.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you subly that?
[SPEAKER_11]: I've ever said so he says he never said that right I love that she played the tape.
[SPEAKER_14]: That's just like I wish more people would do that
[SPEAKER_12]: There's no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective polio smallpox.
[SPEAKER_14]: I mean, I can go on.
[SPEAKER_11]: Lots of vaccines that are safe and effective, but of course, you know, he lied about it because that's what he does.
[SPEAKER_11]: And he lied a lot.
[SPEAKER_11]: Senator Warren today had his ass dead to rights though.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is a little bit longer piece, but I think we got time for it here.
[SPEAKER_01]: Last November, while you are under consideration to become Secretary of Health and Human Services, Mr. Kennedy, you said, quote, if vaccines are working for somebody, I'm not going to take them away.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now exceptions, no.
[SPEAKER_01]: If things are but, you would not take away vaccines from anyone who wanted them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then last week, you announced the COVID-19 vaccine is no longer approved for healthy people under the age of 65.
[SPEAKER_01]: In announcing the change, you said the vaccine will be available for anyone who wants it now obviously, both things cannot be true at the same moment.
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's clear this up right now, Secretary Kennedy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Will you tell America that all adults and old children over six months of age are eligible to get a COVID booster at their local pharmacy today?
[SPEAKER_12]: Anybody can get the booster?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm sorry anybody can get it so you're saying that is now the official rule of HHS Listen, care anybody is eligible to get a booster by just walk into the pharmacy It's not recommended for healthy people no no if you don't recommend then the consequence of that in many states
[SPEAKER_01]: is that you can't walk into a pharmacy and get one.
[SPEAKER_01]: It means insurance companies.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't have to cover the $200 or so cost as Senator Dr. Cassidy said you are effectively denying people vaccines.
[SPEAKER_12]: We're not going to recommend a product for which there's no clinical data for that indication, which is now what I should be doing.
[SPEAKER_01]: And what you should be doing is honoring your promise that you made when you were looking to get confirmed in this job.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going like this.
[SPEAKER_01]: That is, you promised that you would not take away vaccines from anyone who wanted them.
[SPEAKER_01]: You just changed the classification of the COVID vaccine.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not taking them away from these those other people.
[SPEAKER_01]: It takes it away if you can't get it from your pharmacist.
[SPEAKER_12]: Most Americans are going to be able to get it from their pharmacy for three dollars.
[SPEAKER_11]: She just said, it takes it away if you can't pay $200.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Senator Elizabeth Warren is correct.
[SPEAKER_14]: And he is taken away.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a romantic bull crap is what it's meant.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm, I, I, I, yes, you could get it, but I'm not recommending it.
[SPEAKER_14]: Which means in certain places, CVS and Walgreens will not be able to do it under law.
[SPEAKER_11]: right because there it's about the lawyers and it's about the fact that they have liability issues.
[SPEAKER_11]: They have liability concerns and if it is not recommended then their lawyers say if it's not recommended by HHS.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Then they can't do it.
[SPEAKER_14]: And also if it's not recommended then insurance companies can say no I'm not going to cover it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll talk about all this and more.
[SPEAKER_11]: Jared Rizzi's coming and we wanna get an update on what's going on in DC and what he knows about what's going on in Chicago and elsewhere.
[SPEAKER_11]: Busy Thursday evening.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're very glad you're hanging out with us here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you very much for coming by and hanging out with Jody and me.
[SPEAKER_11]: Jared is coming in.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, all three of us in the bar at the same time.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, woo!
[SPEAKER_11]: Woohoo!
[SPEAKER_11]: Get your drink or fresh and do a little dance so if you want, come on back.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_05]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a Thursday night here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you very much for joining us.
[SPEAKER_11]: It is a great place to be.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can always join us from everywhere.
[SPEAKER_11]: Course on your podcast on your radio, but you can also join us on social media with blue sky and threads, Facebook, sub-sac, Twitter,
[SPEAKER_11]: Instagram, we're in all those places.
[SPEAKER_11]: Just find us there at the politics bar or remember you can call us on the bar line 213 677772 582367777258.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's 213677 salt like in your mugger Rita.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have had some voicemail
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, push mill calls that are good, I mean, the quality isn't great, which is why you can always play them.
[SPEAKER_11]: But we have had some messages that way.
[SPEAKER_11]: And we had a little message here from Darrell on Blue Sky, who was listening last night here in the bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: He said, Hey, I heard you and you and Jody and Bob SESCA were talking about the changing the Star Trek franchise because Paramount, we have some things we'll talk about with that, too.
[SPEAKER_11]: With Jared when he gets here.
[SPEAKER_11]: But the talking about how it would change the incredibly successful platform and and he said you know It'd just be like changing an incredibly successful social media platform some billing in air coming along and buying it and oh Yeah, Darrell you you were right on that one just saying
[SPEAKER_10]: Hey, look, look what I'm just talking about.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's not a magic.
[SPEAKER_10]: I guess who just popped up behind the bar.
[SPEAKER_10]: There he is.
[SPEAKER_10]: How you doing?
[SPEAKER_10]: Me.
[SPEAKER_09]: Cody, let me just say, I am so glad to be here when you're here because I was here with Sean.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's not the same.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's not.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, having Jody around makes everything better.
[SPEAKER_11]: She's like those old BASF commercials.
[SPEAKER_11]: We don't make the things you like.
[SPEAKER_11]: We make the things you like better.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're checking her in the mail.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Slowly update Sean's references.
[SPEAKER_11]: Come on man.
[SPEAKER_11]: Come on, I do know some newer references, but that just happens to be one of it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Don't look at it.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's an old ad, but it happens to still be true.
[SPEAKER_11]: I can't because I love to kid.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know.
[SPEAKER_11]: And we love that you're here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Obviously, you've been you paid attention to RFK Jr.
[SPEAKER_11]: who knew.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, that was pretty much the thing that we watched more of that than was good for my health.
[SPEAKER_11]: I bet.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, it's like drinking in the stupid when he's around.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're like, you're like, nobody can possibly be this dumb and still remember to breathe.
[SPEAKER_11]: And yet here he is.
[SPEAKER_14]: And he breathes like this into the mic.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, yeah, he does his Darth Vader impersonation.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I mean we can the the worst part about the RFK testimony today is that I could sit here and make 40,000 jokes about how awful he is and I'm sure you guys did all right because you I know you guys just talked a lot a little bit about that
[SPEAKER_09]: the damage that in an administration that is chock full of the worst sociopaths who will kill as many people as they can and would enslave all of us if they could get an extra nickel.
[SPEAKER_09]: He may be the most single most dangerous member of this administration.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I say that after Florida is going to remove their vaccine mandates for kids as the parent of a five year old who just started kindergarten.
[SPEAKER_09]: I am.
[SPEAKER_09]: I cannot imagine when I will be going to Florida again by Mickey never seeing you there.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I'll go to I'll go to see Mickey in California.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, we got a nice Mickey here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, and I can believe they're expanding the Mickey Mickey zone out there.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just don't understand, I mean, I'm really afraid for people who have kids, people who are immunocompromised, disabled, if you are stuck in Florida right now, it's going to get real bad real fast.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it's going to be, there's, there's going to be all kinds of lawsuits too.
[SPEAKER_11]: And look, I mean, it was, it was so bad that even, we mentioned the, the Democratic heroes earlier who were at the, the Senate Finance Committee hearing today with our FK Jr.
[SPEAKER_11]: Obviously, then it can't well, Warner, Hassan, Sanders, and of course Elizabeth Warren, who we just played a little bit of.
[SPEAKER_11]: There were even some Republicans that went harder than I was surprised.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, kind of not entirely surprised at Tillis because I mean, he's not running for reelection.
[SPEAKER_11]: But Tillis was even saying to our FK that his actions are going to hurt kids in the rural areas.
[SPEAKER_11]: Really don't have which I'm like that's.
[SPEAKER_09]: tell us was actually doing his job as a center for North Carolina, which he hadn't done for a while, shouldn't have, well, and so much of our healthcare infrastructure, people who aren't familiar with North Carolina, that research triangle, you know, a cornerstone of not only the research that we do,
[SPEAKER_09]: in universities, they're doing great work and really hit hard in these last eight months.
[SPEAKER_09]: A lot of the international, like USAID stuff is done through there.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's all been hit so hard in the idea that Tillis has kept his hands in his pocket this long.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's really unconscionable.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm glad to see you're doing what he's doing today.
[SPEAKER_09]: But there has just been so much devastation, not just for the United States, but the whole world because he didn't speak up sooner.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I guess, you know,
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I mean, very late.
[SPEAKER_09]: Very short.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, it's the same thing as as yesterday.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, I mean, yes, uh, Marjorie Taylor Greene was on the steps with the, uh, Epstein survivors.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I won't, I won't, I won't give her kudos for virtually anything else she does.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I was glad that she did that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Um, oh, god, what's the name?
[SPEAKER_11]: Mace, Nancy Mace.
[SPEAKER_11]: She signed on to the Democrats petition.
[SPEAKER_11]: She could have been there, but I guess she figured M.T.G.
[SPEAKER_11]: was there going to take the camera, so she didn't.
[SPEAKER_14]: But I, and also she was making what happened to these women all about herself.
[SPEAKER_11]: Of course, because that's what M.T.
[SPEAKER_11]: does.
[SPEAKER_14]: And then she defended Donald later in the day.
[SPEAKER_11]: Nancy Mace has a problem with physics.
[SPEAKER_11]: She believes that the universe revolves around her.
[SPEAKER_11]: It does not.
[SPEAKER_14]: But she's revolving around her head, though, because her hair looks awful.
[SPEAKER_11]: But there were some other Republicans today in the hearing they did okay, too, and they're both doctors, Baraso and Cass, I was even though the thing that bothers me so much is that Cassie was a key vote that got RFK confirmed in the first place.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'll say this too, I, for people who watched a little bit of the hearing, some of the clips that I've seen that are already tending to break through are all focused on, I think I saw something from Dr. Odds who, of course, isn't just trying to sell you supplements anymore.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's also a government official now.
[SPEAKER_09]: And Cassidy, they were talking about how well RFK was doing and how well Trump was doing in the context of and doesn't Trump deserve a Nobel Prize.
[SPEAKER_09]: I would love, I would love to have a government that isn't led around by one man's desire for any award that Barack Obama ever had.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think that would be a good way to run the country is to not that the opposite of whatever that is.
[SPEAKER_11]: It would be really great if we didn't have to run the country through a tiny Johnson.
[SPEAKER_11]: And of course, I'm also talking about Donald Trump, but between Johnson and the House and Trump in the White House.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I know you're shaking your head, but look, I call him tiny Johnson for reason because that nickname is very effective and and some of the Republicans look Whenever Donald dies and I know you saw that last week in the whole, you know thing on social media.
[SPEAKER_11]: Donald did, but when he does I'm out of popcorn.
[SPEAKER_14]: I think someone's popcorn I know I ran out of the markup.
[SPEAKER_14]: What?
[SPEAKER_11]: I understand that from the two of you, but my whole thing is when he dies, they're going to fracture.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're not going to be able to pass anything.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're not going to be able to pass the salt, they're going to be able to pass gas.
[SPEAKER_11]: They won't be able to pass anything, which is good because everything that they do sucks.
[SPEAKER_11]: But
[SPEAKER_11]: there also going to be there going to be at each other's throats at johnson is not going to be able to corral them.
[SPEAKER_11]: And johnson is always running point for Donald Trump like some of the senators did like like you were getting to Jared in in the at the hearing today where they were they were trying to lead RFK saying look.
[SPEAKER_11]: you know, what you're doing is really bad, but we'll give you a gimmick.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll say, wasn't, didn't, Donnie do a great job of, of getting the vaccine through, even though he, all he did was sign his name on a thing and let the scientists do their thing late, obviously, and a million people ended up dying because of Donnie's failures on COVID.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's that's what you're, you're looking at me, Jody, and I thank you.
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, and also, I mean, if RFK wants him to get the noble price for a warp speed or whatever it was called, but he's also making us not be able to get the COVID vaccine.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right, you can't, these two things are, and they were mutual, there were a number of senators who were, but it was interesting that regardless of Cassie's failure in letting RFK through, the Cassie and Brasso, they're trying to say, look, we'll give you a gimmie.
[SPEAKER_11]: But you gotta make some type of intellectual consistency.
[SPEAKER_11]: You gotta be logical about this, and RFK is like, nah, no, he's just breathing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you know, look, if you've got a Darth Vader afflicted person in your family, not like these drugs, I do think it's important to to lance the boil of RFK as it's a person and also many of the boils that he may be currently carrying.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, you are very good with the analogies on that today, brother.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, what's really frustrating to me, too, is the brazo and Cassidy are both doctors themselves.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: They know how bad this is.
[SPEAKER_09]: They know how many.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, let's let's not mince words.
[SPEAKER_09]: Children will die needlessly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Children are compromised and disabled people will die needlessly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yep, because of this, it is going to have so many downstream effects.
[SPEAKER_09]: This isn't
[SPEAKER_09]: bed wedding hair on fire, this isn't the stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is the kind of stuff where you're saying, yeah, the last hundred years of scientific advancement, let's throw that out like something from the White House window that those later going to be said is AI generated, which we don't have time to get to it.
[SPEAKER_11]: You guys know, I'm not, I'm not a wet blanket.
[SPEAKER_11]: I agree that it is, it is hair on fire.
[SPEAKER_11]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I also look at it and say,
[SPEAKER_11]: for all the things that we are saying like this, we do still have to remind people that there are plenty of good people fighting plenty of good battles and winning against these dumbasses in this horrible regime.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, we had, we had a whole bunch of them.
[SPEAKER_11]: There was, let me see here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Trump is appealing basically kissing up to the Supreme Court on his
[SPEAKER_11]: because it's it's so key.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's he ain't going to see that the federal federal judge reverse Trump the Trump administration's illegal cuts of billions of dollars to Harvard.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're talking about the research schools.
[SPEAKER_11]: The schools that have stood up the universities and the institutions the the law firms that have stood up to Trump.
[SPEAKER_11]: When you stand up to the bully and you punch them in the face.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, they back down.
[SPEAKER_11]: They have loose.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, and we've even seen this now where the effort to replicate what's happening here in DC in somewhere like Chicago.
[SPEAKER_09]: They want to do it in Chicago or Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's been a lot of pushback, especially from from Chicago, the mayor, the governor there.
[SPEAKER_09]: And so now they're saying, well, maybe I saw a clip from Trump saying, well, maybe we'll end up doing it in New Orleans or something like that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because of the person you just mentioned, Sean, because they know that they'll get the go ahead from every Republican in Louisiana who's just going to rubber stamp this as opposed to the pushback they're going to get and we've not just seen this in states, but in media like, you know, I bet I hope CBS is planning on spending $16 million every month because apparently they're never going to stop taking the big from that company.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: And other law firms that are giving you.
[SPEAKER_09]: So many pro bono hours.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, this is a Mafioso person who's running the government like it's a protection racket and as a as a 100% Italian American I can make these jokes
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, yesterday, Jody, you and I were talking about the thing that I noticed yesterday, I think, when we were talking with Bob, or maybe a little before about the, when Trump did his little thing of, well, you know, I want to go to New Orleans, but I'd have to ask the government.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yes, for permission, which he did not ask.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's ever been interested in consent, right?
[SPEAKER_14]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: But here's the thing here's the thing in in the the decision that Judge Breyer did on the Posse Comitatist Decision Judge Breyer One of the things that he pointed out was Pete Kegbreff and him saying oh, yeah Well, we're getting the military we're gonna do cop stuff
[SPEAKER_11]: He specifically said and used that against him and said, and then in a posse comatata says military don't get a do cops stuff in internally domestically you can't do that stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, no, no, no, one of the other things then is Donald Trump saying that as Donald Trump appeals that to the Supreme Court as well.
[SPEAKER_11]: That will be used against him because it proves that Donald Trump knows that he has to ask permission from governors to bring the national guard in and if a governor, now remember New Orleans itself, the city governed by Democrats mostly Louisiana governed primarily by Republicans.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, a tiny Johnson.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, you got that.
[SPEAKER_11]: But here's the thing is that that, um, yes, Donald Trump admitted that he'd have to ask the governor's help.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're going to use that in the appeal of the Supreme Court Supreme Court's going to be like, we can't help you because you know better.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you were told he made the same mistake.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can't just outright say, I'm going to crime.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, look, with Alito, we probably could, you know, Alito could probably, you know, would, whatever.
[SPEAKER_11]: We know how about Alito is.
[SPEAKER_11]: But,
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, this is this is not going to be this is Donald Trump is going to keep losing and people are going to have to keep fighting He's going to have to we're all going to have to keep fighting on every front including this vaccine front against RFK.
[SPEAKER_11]: I just I look at it and go for you Jared.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's probably going to be like I what six block walk to the CVS that's on the Maryland side of the line.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to drive a little bit over there to get get the COVID vaccine if you if you give any more direct information people will be able to find my home
[SPEAKER_09]: I just stopped getting the death threats from my time covering the White House the first time.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't want to have people now remembering where I live, you know, no, no, nobody knows nobody knows where you live.
[SPEAKER_11]: Trust me, nobody's not right outside.
[SPEAKER_11]: Shut up, oh my god, you're already here.
[SPEAKER_11]: I am glad they are not.
[SPEAKER_11]: We do want to talk to you more about that.
[SPEAKER_11]: We do want to talk to you more about some of the other time that you covered stuff with CBS because there is a
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh my god, there's a really horrible thing and it's getting very little discussion other than from us folks who are in the media Yeah, let's put it this way CBS could be turning into the new Fox.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, yeah Shikes All right, look Thursday nights.
[SPEAKER_11]: We all got drinks.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're gonna freshen hours.
[SPEAKER_11]: You should do the same freshener drink Come on back.

[SPEAKER_11]: Check it out.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's all the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: Dacca.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right, we were talking a little bit of industry stuff here.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think some people say that not everybody likes it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think it's important, especially when we've got somebody like you, Jared, who understands industry stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, you know, Jody and I, yes, we've worked in the news, the entertainment industry for, well, literally you, Jody, since you were in utero.
[SPEAKER_11]: a long time-collecting.
[SPEAKER_13]: I'm an old lady.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, that all.
[SPEAKER_11]: Between the three of us, given the amount of years that we've all spent, I think it's actually if you add it all up and put it into in.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's like over a century, which tells you how long we've all worked in the media.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's upsetting, actually.
[SPEAKER_14]: I know I'm sad.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I just disintegrated into dust.
[SPEAKER_09]: Like at the end of Avengers Infinity War, it's like... What's that on Snap?
[SPEAKER_11]: What makes me sad is, is a great news brand, like CBS news.
[SPEAKER_11]: CBS, especially CBS radio news, that to me growing up was always the, you hear the bang, ding, ding, ding, ding.
[SPEAKER_11]: You hear the tones at the top of the hour and, you know, I mean, that's, that was the first radio station when I started at WMT and Cedar Rapids.
[SPEAKER_14]: That's what I mean, Walter Cronkite just made me happy.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, there are so many, obviously Dan Ratherhoo.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: I still think that's great, and he still bill on stuff 20 years after he couldn't go retired, which is great.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's technically a failure over retirement.
[SPEAKER_09]: If I'm still doing things, please, just like Taysmig or something.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look, Dan Rather cannot be kept down because the whole thing against him was BS and it was proven BS later.
[SPEAKER_11]: But my whole thing is that.
[SPEAKER_11]: So for those of you who don't know the story, it isn't the news on tap today at politicsbar.com.
[SPEAKER_11]: We put it down in our belief in the media, entertainment, and more section.
[SPEAKER_11]: But the right wing propagandist and former New York Times columnist Barry Weiss may be on the verge of being handed in the editorial control of CBS news by Right wing science son David Ellison, who is now the CEO of Skydance.
[SPEAKER_11]: And we just had to ask Jared, how do we get here?
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, it's a lot because here's someone in very voice you have someone who is about to get paid about $100 million for essentially a worthless media product.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: The free press formally common sense is essentially it's a blog, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: So those people don't know how it's a blog.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, but you know what's speaking truth to power is.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's what journalists are supposed to do.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's the opposite of that.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's basically comforting the powerful and afflicting the power.
[SPEAKER_11]: The power lifted right exactly that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, that would be Barry Weiss's blog.
[SPEAKER_09]: No one.
[SPEAKER_09]: In journalism has ever lost money by telling powerful people what they want to hear and very voice is proof of that.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's made an entire career out of from when she was in college trying to get Arab professors fired or censured because she didn't like that.
[SPEAKER_09]: They were being critical of Israeli
[SPEAKER_09]: policies to basically doing the same thing, but with a media column in the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal or a bunch of other places, all while screaming from the rooftops or the view or wherever else that would have her that she was being canceled in silence.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's the oppressed one.
[SPEAKER_14]: And wait a minute, she's married to a woman.
[SPEAKER_14]: So if they hire her, aren't they way too woke in her own standards?
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, you know, Johnny, they're, they're, they're standards.
[SPEAKER_11]: Remember this, this is the right wing standards don't apply to the rules only apply to other people.
[SPEAKER_11]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_11]: They get to be as hypocritical and as full of crap as they want.
[SPEAKER_11]: The rest of us are supposed to be bound by the rules.
[SPEAKER_11]: They can do whatever.
[SPEAKER_14]: I mean, this is a DEI hire, isn't it?
[SPEAKER_14]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_09]: But here's another thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: I want to push back on something you said a minute ago, Sean, because you say that some people don't take this seriously when we talk about industry things.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: I want to push back on this because when we talk about literacy and media literacy, the right has tried for 40, 50 years to remove this kind of, you know, whether it's humanity's education or whatever,
[SPEAKER_09]: this is part of it and understanding the source.
[SPEAKER_09]: We are actually being critical thinkers when we look and just say we're not going to just flip on the radio, flip on the TV, digest what is offered to us and then human centipede it to the next person and your 100% direct journey needs to be better.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, and we can do better, but not necessarily by asking CBS to be better under a hypothetical Barry Weiss administration, but instead to support independent and progressive media voices, maybe even including this one, that would better reflect your values that doesn't insult your intelligence when you listen to it or watch it and brings you a little bit more
[SPEAKER_11]: really hard.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look, I mean, I am the first one who says that there is a difference between the the amateurs and the influencers who are out there saying, listen to me and the people who say, well, I listen to Bob on the baths and tell him that drives me nuts because because of the experience that we've talked about.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, look, there are there are things that you know about in the entertainment industry Jody that I still, you know, even though we've, I've been doing this 30 some years.
[SPEAKER_11]: You've been doing it longer than I have.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I go, oh, okay, that's kind of, that's new.
[SPEAKER_11]: I hadn't, I hadn't learned that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I learned stuff from the other people in the industry.
[SPEAKER_11]: industry experience helps, and you're right, the media literacy, it helps us when we tell other people what to look for, what triggers, what to see.
[SPEAKER_09]: And there's a conservative alignment with news generally and CBS specifically that people should actually understand, you know, we all hear about these aphorisms, like it bleeds, it leads.
[SPEAKER_09]: there is a sense there's a reason why even though crime has gone down in D.C.
[SPEAKER_09]: it nationally almost everywhere you might live exactly people still say that it feels worse it's because our news coverage is so focused on violence.
[SPEAKER_09]: So the manager.
[SPEAKER_09]: class, the ownership class have traditionally been very conservative in media.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's the beat reporters and the correspondence like myself who have traditionally been a little bit more center and center left.
[SPEAKER_09]: And when you look at CBS, CBS has traditionally been the most right of the mainstream broadcasters.
[SPEAKER_09]: So it's no secret that they are leaning mostly toward what Jody said earlier as that fox on broadcast kind of news.
[SPEAKER_09]: because of, and again, no offense to any NEPO babies in the room right now, but because of NEPO baby David Ellison, you know, Larry Ellison's case on.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because they're both, you know, they're both science of failed fathers, basically.
[SPEAKER_09]: So they need to jump and, uh, and Ellison.
[SPEAKER_09]: So they need to just hide some now.
[SPEAKER_11]: But look, look, I mean, CBS has, CBS traditionally has skewed as entertainment.
[SPEAKER_11]: They've skewed older.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're shows.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're
[SPEAKER_11]: right.
[SPEAKER_11]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_11]: But here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Their news product has has traditionally been one that's been a little bit more.
[SPEAKER_11]: Bob board a little bit more straight down the middle.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: And some people say boring.
[SPEAKER_11]: When you do news, that's one of the reasons I tell people if they ask my opinion on media, I say, look, BBC and Algesire English, not Algesire.
[SPEAKER_11]: Algesire itself is, I believe in Qatar.
[SPEAKER_11]: I believe that's what it means.
[SPEAKER_11]: And believe so, yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Algesire English is based out of London.
[SPEAKER_11]: And because they're based out of London, like the BBC, they have to adhere to the UK's media rules.
[SPEAKER_11]: They are under the auspices of off-com.
[SPEAKER_11]: They actually have rules, it's kind of like if you draw a little box and you say inside this box is just the facts and people say, well, okay, that's kind of boring.
[SPEAKER_11]: And in the UK, like in other countries that actually have rules about the standards and practices of what is news, they say inside this box, you're fine.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can explore all the space inside the box.
[SPEAKER_11]: You want to go outside the box, you don't get to be called news.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you don't get all the benefits from being inside the box.
[SPEAKER_11]: And people say, yeah, but BBC, and I'll just hear English or boring.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you say, yes, because it's just the facts.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: And that's what you want from news.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's what most of us want from news.
[SPEAKER_11]: We want, we want what sports people have.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's not what everyone wants from news, though, Sean.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, it's just not.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's just a lot of you want to be kind of coddled to bed and tucked in and told that all the scary things are being, you know,
[SPEAKER_09]: kept it bay by a man who strongly deserves the Nobel Prize and price.
[SPEAKER_09]: The Nobel Prize.
[SPEAKER_09]: I literally, I know it's funny and I literally can't make my brain do it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Like I want to join you on this joke that there are certain mispronunciations.
[SPEAKER_09]: Just like nuclear.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I just make the IG silent.
[SPEAKER_11]: So when you're saying it, you're not saying ignoble, which, I mean Donald Trump would absolutely deserve the ignoble price.
[SPEAKER_11]: You just will remove the IG, just put it in your brain that way and you go, now I can say it.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's the Nobel Prize and there's the Nobel Prize and why am I saying noble?
[SPEAKER_11]: Because he deserves the ignoble price, I just removedigmid and I think you just gave me a Kennedy brain where I'm right.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know, I'm going to record it because man, he's God, his brainworm was just all over the place today, but overall in DC, what we're hearing is that, you know, look, it's getting the same point.
[SPEAKER_11]: It wasn't LA that the people who are stationed there are they're bored.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're pissed.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right, they're not getting their funds because they're cycling them out after 29 days, so they're not getting extra pay.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're not getting extra vacation.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're they're all pissed off.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they're bored.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm looking at your fashion going, you're you're reflecting everything that we're saying.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is the case.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, it is it is that the people who are doing the patrols are bored and they're telling people or they're saying loudly, they're starting to the grass, you know,
[SPEAKER_09]: I will say as someone who at 10 30 at night had three cars, seven officers, including Secret Service, outside my front door for two guys with maybe an open container walking
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't think the proportional response is happening.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I really don't think this was over.
[SPEAKER_09]: So this is holiday weekend over time happening and I I was walking it's not even my dog I thought I'm watching for someone else and I looked and I immediately put up my phone.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've got 10 minutes
[SPEAKER_09]: of these seven guys standing around ATFS, Secret Service Vests, everything.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's unnecessary.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is meant to show dominance and dominance only thing this administration actually wants to do.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it's disgusting.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is.
[SPEAKER_09]: But you do some of them.
[SPEAKER_09]: Not all of them, including the mayor fighting back about that.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's issues.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's issues in the reporting about how the mayor is handling.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's all kinds of things because Chris Gardner has a different take than the Wapo and the Wapo.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's, so I haven't really focused on them too much yet.
[SPEAKER_11]: But one thing I do want to focus on is what you and some of your neighbors are doing, some of the folks in Chicago have been paying attention to.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: In the fact of using your cameras and using basically neighborhood watch to watch the watchers.
[SPEAKER_11]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_11]: And now, because of that and because of threats like from Philly D.A.
[SPEAKER_11]: Grasner who says, you guys come in our house and you do anything illegal.
[SPEAKER_11]: And when I'm hearing and seeing and a lot of the stuff from the National Guard from the Ice people even is, is we don't necessarily want to go to other other places because we know that we're going to be watched.
[SPEAKER_11]: And if we fart in the wrong place, it's going to be R-S in the ringer.
[SPEAKER_09]: My sleepy neighborhood at 10 30 at night, I was out there already.
[SPEAKER_09]: I had three other neighbors outside with cameras with a 90 second.
[SPEAKER_03]: But
[SPEAKER_09]: Just as a reminder, if you come to our house, we are ready for you, and that's something that everyone can get excited and a joyful about To do is a response in this moment because otherwise we are host.
[SPEAKER_11]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_11]: See, there is some good news and Jared Rizzi brought it to us tonight Jared, we love having you here in the bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll have you here.
[SPEAKER_11]: What next week?
[SPEAKER_11]: Week after some rest.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, please
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you as always for coming in and you know keep yourself safe and DC and then you and I All maybe we'll go to the the Husker alumni bar at some point.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'll have to show you that and you can see how weird we are there Because oh my god, I don't know if I can handle any more weird It's a good weirdness trust me.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have we have good drinks at that bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have a drink of the day We got to get to Jody.
[SPEAKER_09]: So too.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's nothing.

[SPEAKER_04]: Shotsmith, Harrison, Jody Hamilton.
[SPEAKER_11]: And today, Jared Rizzi!
[SPEAKER_11]: Weee!
[SPEAKER_11]: No, not him!
[SPEAKER_11]: Not him again.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're glad to have Jared hanging out with us for one more round here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: We are very glad that you guys are hanging out with us coming into the bar from wherever you are.
[SPEAKER_11]: Whether that happens to be America 1, radio and Atlanta, AM9, 50, Minneapolis, Saint Paul.
[SPEAKER_11]: Maybe you're listening on the D2 or talk radio and Tennessee, or maybe you're listening on AM820 Chicago, WCPT.
[SPEAKER_11]: or maybe you were listening on progressive voices radio worldwide, wherever you happen to be.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you very much.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, if you're one of those strange future people, we love you.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're glad you're subscribed to the podcast.
[SPEAKER_11]: And remember, if you miss any of the show, just do the future people do.
[SPEAKER_11]: Subscribe to the podcast.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think it's really aspirational that we even assume that there will be future people at this time.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, there are.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, because of RFK Jr.
[SPEAKER_11]: Understandable.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's also true.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, that him and Pete Kegbreath and Steven Miller, who is an absolute monster.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, we were talking about that earlier too.
[SPEAKER_11]: By the way, thank you everybody.
[SPEAKER_11]: If you missed any of the news of the day, you can always check it out at the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_11]: We will be talking with Jared for a little bit here, and then John Fugle sings coming in as well.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Just fantastic.
[SPEAKER_14]: It was his birthday yesterday.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know.
[SPEAKER_11]: I want to say I want to say happy birthday to him when he gets here, which will be fantastic.
[SPEAKER_11]: We got to get to the drink of the day, though, because I'm thirsty for it.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you could almost say I'm a little nuts for it.
[SPEAKER_14]: I know we had a nutty drink two days ago.
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, you know, sometimes you feel like a nut, and sometimes you do like another nut, right exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: Um, sometimes you feel like RFK Junior, and then sometimes you feel like Steven Miller, I mean, you know, two or not.
[SPEAKER_07]: No.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, okay, forget that analogy because these are nuts that you would actually like, you know, exactly.
[SPEAKER_14]: So today is national macadamian nut day, and I lived in Hawaii and I had no idea that there was a national day.
[SPEAKER_11]: I love Mac for hard cookies Mac white chocolate macadena cookies there's a great one for those of you in the New York area of the barn New York New Jersey area of the Ballard schmackeries cookies up there in New York.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, Mr. small up there.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, he's the son of a guy that I used to to work with at the University of Nebraska and that they're great cookies.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can check those out.
[SPEAKER_14]: Oh, no, I live with a family who owned a macadamina farm and sold Hawaiian host macadamina.
[SPEAKER_14]: That was their company.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, I love that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I love macadamina.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's by the way.
[SPEAKER_11]: The drink of the day, since it is international or national macadamina day, what's the name of the drink, Joni?
[SPEAKER_14]: A macadamina chechi, which is a very Hawaii drink.
[SPEAKER_11]: You bring the Hawaii drinks, you know, we Hawaii is definitely represented here in this bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: Very strongly.
[SPEAKER_14]: Hey, you know, I live there for two and a half years.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, and also, when, when Jerry was subbing in for you, one of our favorites was the, it was the anniversary of Hawaii Statehood Day.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, we had lots of I mean, there were a lot of good, I mean, they're all good, but like a lot of good ones and I was telling Sean there was a great Tiki bar here in Washington DC that closed a few years ago, but I looked online.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was like, Oh, I think they still, they will still the owners will still provide like a catering service with all because they still have all this.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I'm thinking that we should do kind of some kind of office party with all of us in the probably in DC when Jody comes out.
[SPEAKER_09]: And we can just host, I mean just just to get some maybe the next time sexy liberal gets on tour and John and Steph and how and everybody can need to reclaim the Tiki torch, I think, from the past.
[SPEAKER_14]: I agree, completely on that one.
[SPEAKER_14]: absolutely.
[SPEAKER_11]: So speaking of Tiki's and Hawaii, which is wonderful, what is in the macadamia nachichi?
[SPEAKER_14]: Okay, you're going to need a hurricane glass or a goblet depends on your mood.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, not a hurricane glass journey.
[SPEAKER_09]: Is that any glass that's been in Florida while FEMA's not activated anymore?
[SPEAKER_14]: Yes, basically that's it.
[SPEAKER_14]: Basically.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is what I did to Sean all week while you were out by the way.
[SPEAKER_14]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_14]: uh... you're gonna need a blender and what do you do in a blender
[SPEAKER_14]: You blend things.
[SPEAKER_14]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know, I'm like, this is one of those questions.
[SPEAKER_11]: I didn't study one.
[SPEAKER_09]: I failed immediately.
[SPEAKER_09]: I opened both tabs.
[SPEAKER_14]: You're going to need some ice.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_14]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_14]: Now, this is a serious drink, not right.
[SPEAKER_14]: Four ounces of vodka.
[SPEAKER_14]: So this has to be for more people.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_14]: Two and a half ounces of macadamia nut licuree, yamme.
[SPEAKER_14]: Eight ounces of pineapple juice, two ounces of coconut cream.
[SPEAKER_09]: Coconut cream, not coconut milk.
[SPEAKER_14]: Different thing, totally different.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's so different.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's totally different and so different.
[SPEAKER_14]: Right.
[SPEAKER_14]: Two cups of ice.
[SPEAKER_14]: And then drink up, bro, because they're cute.
[SPEAKER_14]: And you can put it over your head.
[SPEAKER_14]: And it will help you from the rain and the sun.
[SPEAKER_11]: So there's ice for the blender and there's ice for the drink.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_14]: So what you want to do?
[SPEAKER_14]: Actually, no, there's only ice in the blender.
[SPEAKER_14]: This is the frothy kind of drink.
[SPEAKER_14]: Okay, so you add all the ingredients into the blender and then blend them because that's where the blender does
[SPEAKER_14]: port into the goblet or the hurricane glass that you got in Florida and then you just garnish it, Florida, uh, and then you garnish it with the umbrella and it's, it's a simple drink to make this seem like you need to make it for a lot more people because that's a lot of booze.
[SPEAKER_09]: I feel like I would end up, I would end up, uh, not okay.
[SPEAKER_14]: But it is a hurricane glass and they're kind of tall.
[SPEAKER_14]: If you ever been in Vegas and people are walking around
[SPEAKER_11]: Where I look I love I love great bigger.
[SPEAKER_11]: I got I got I think it was but only have one children This is a very heavy boozy drink only have one from a hard rock.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's it's heavy.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's boozy.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's sweet and it's nutty It's like missed any of the drink of the day Just like me.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm a little muddy too.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm my name is RFK junior anyway
[SPEAKER_11]: If you missed any of the drink of the day or any of the previous drink to the day, you can get all the recipes just subscribe at the politics bar dot com oh that is not what he sounds like by the way, he does not sound nearly as healthy as when you just
[SPEAKER_11]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_14]: I mean, that's, I don't have the same thing for the issue.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't mean to make, but here's the thing is that that I guess that there is some medication that can be taken and some some efforts that can be done.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I think she does them to try to mitigate it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: And of course, because it's pharmaceutical stuff and he thinks that he doesn't need to, because you know, all he needs to do is 70 setups and go eat a dead bear and
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, God.
[SPEAKER_11]: He did he not look today like he was in on a road road rage on at the center here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Isn't he always?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know, but I did see over the weekend, while Jodi and I were making, you know, popping bottles or making popcorn respectively, there was a really funny meme that was, he heard the Trump was six.
[SPEAKER_09]: We brought a wheelbarrow full of beef talo to the White House and just the visual of that has kept me laughing for the last several days.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's just so dumb, man.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's just the, the RMK junior thing is just,
[SPEAKER_09]: I'll just say this, if you've been one of those people who genuinely was concerned about what you're putting in your body and what you're putting in your kids' body and you're scared and you're confused and you didn't do very well in high school science, I do think it's time for you to just maybe admit that you were wrong, okay?
[SPEAKER_09]: It's never too late to own up for your mistakes, take a little bit of accountability, realize that you haven't read a book since junior high, and accept the fact that you are hurting a lot of people by continuing to support
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, look, I want to make it easier for you.
[SPEAKER_09]: I wish I could, but you've pushed yourself, have the day you voted for, but stop making me have the day you voted for.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look, here's the thing, the reason that I came with the definition of terminal stupidity almost 25 years ago is because it is the combination of a lack of intelligence, a lack of wisdom, and a lack of concern, a lack of empathy for other people.
[SPEAKER_11]: it's curiosity.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, yeah, that's the intelligence intelligence and curiosity go together.
[SPEAKER_11]: Here's the thing, you don't have to be, it's it's really difficult for somebody to stay in the corner of that triangle.
[SPEAKER_11]: To stay in the center of that triangle.
[SPEAKER_11]: To stay in the middle of that and say, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't have to know and I don't care.
[SPEAKER_11]: F you.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's it's really really difficult because most people at least they want to learn or they want to get somebody else's experience or they at least Give a damn because maybe it's their family who might get sick with smallpox and die right and and and I get it, but I'm going If you are at the center of that triangle of those three things
[SPEAKER_11]: it's not an accident.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's because you have chosen to stay there because you have chosen to hate everyone and everything around you.
[SPEAKER_11]: And Jared is right when he's saying maybe it's time that you took a break, that you took a breath, and you decided maybe to stop hating and maybe you were wrong because every single one of us is mortal, we're fallible, we make mistakes.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's okay to learn.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's okay to say I f up.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's okay to be like I'm really sorry that I sick R. K. Jr.
[SPEAKER_11]: on all of you and now half the country has measles.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm really sorry that I screwed up and picked Donald Trump in 2016 and then a million people died of COVID.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm really sorry that I
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, we had a conversation yesterday, Joe, Joe, and I did about a guy who was involved getting our, our, our mix on our blue sky stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's a writer and a left.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'll leave his name out of it.
[SPEAKER_11]: But he was basically saying that he doesn't trust any of the people who are former Republicans or independents that he's more willing to trust people who are further and a left who are complete nut jobs on the left as opposed to, you know, anybody else.
[SPEAKER_11]: Because he just can't basically get past the fact that some people like David Jolly used
[SPEAKER_11]: He can't get past the idea that Joe Walls used to be a Republican, and that those guys have said, I f-ed up.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have rethought things and I have changed.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I just said to that, you know, I would much rather be with people who have made mistakes and have been willing to make mistakes and have changed their mind based on the facts in front of them as opposed to people who say, well, I'm a liberal.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm always going to be liberals.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, everybody
[SPEAKER_09]: I understand where that person's coming from, I understand where people like you just you've been hurt and the people they are literally attacking I mean these are people hurt people again about you know whether it's about trans people or against facts like this is this is my family this is my loved one this is you are attacking everything but
[SPEAKER_09]: I also want people to to keep in mind.
[SPEAKER_09]: There have been fascist movements around the world.
[SPEAKER_09]: The only time they've ever been beaten is by a coalition of everyone in society, all walks of life coming together and saying no more, not this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_13]: Like no more kid.
[SPEAKER_09]: We will need to rebuild together with people that we don't look and by the way being annoyed and having to deal with people's nonsense opinions, political opinions, reasonable political disagreement about things that aren't existential threats to people's safety.
[SPEAKER_09]: Is the price of democracy?
[SPEAKER_09]: Is the price of community?
[SPEAKER_09]: I do not one of my friends who's been a 12-steper for a long time was talking about like listening to someone talk for eight minutes about the the the guy in his job who's doing him wrong is the price of community in an AA meeting.
[SPEAKER_09]: You just people will annoy the crap out of you and you just have to deal with that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I would have to have a word.
[SPEAKER_09]: I would much rather deal with that than having another pandemic, like smallpox or something, because I trust the people who've been correct, just because, you know, that's, that's, you know, I don't trust the person who's crashed a plane to fly my plane.
[SPEAKER_09]: You crashed a plane.
[SPEAKER_11]: But as you've said Sean and I know you said it's like you don't maybe you don't get to drive right now That's that was that was what I was aiming for look y'all can come on our bus You can come hang out at our bar You don't get to get behind the bar, but we'll give you a seat in the bar You know, you don't get to turn how it goes folks So Jared, thank you very much for coming in hanging out with us

[SPEAKER_11]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_11]: John Fuble saying is coming in next.

[SPEAKER_11]: Everybody loves you John and they're gonna love you even more when they get your book five days Until separation of church and hate comes out get your copy now I still have to email you and request mine, but I've been you know, we've been busy doing Tell me a little bit of a twist please.
[SPEAKER_08]: I can send I can send you a PDF during the interview when I'm pretending to listen your questions
[SPEAKER_11]: I won't wait because I want to pay attention to you because among other things, you come to the bar today with the stained glass behind you, the heavenly aura of your book that is coming in.
[SPEAKER_11]: Honestly, I am still hoping that you'll be able to do more of a tour and come down here to DC.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I will be with you.
[SPEAKER_08]: I was hoping for that too.
[SPEAKER_08]: I will be coming to DC.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're going to do a few shows.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're going to go to LA, LA Chicago, DC a few others.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm hoping to
[SPEAKER_08]: to get those announced.
[SPEAKER_11]: All cities, all cities that Trump wants to invade.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: And now he's going for blue cities in red states because he realized that Louisiana doesn't have a democratic attorney general to sick the Constitution on him.
[SPEAKER_11]: So he thought of all though, although there was something that we we talked about it with Jared when he was here earlier, by the way, he sent you a big birthday hug and Jared Rizzi does.
[SPEAKER_08]: Jared Rizzi.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_11]: He was here earlier night, but we, Jody and I were talking about this yesterday.
[SPEAKER_11]: We got this this, uh, when we were talking with Bob Saskov about this, um, I noticed something and I played a Jody and she was like, yeah, um, notice when Donald Trump was saying yesterday that, oh, he might not go to Chicago.
[SPEAKER_11]: He might go to New Orleans.
[SPEAKER_11]: He specifically said, oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: He'd have to ask the governor.
[SPEAKER_11]: And exactly like with the Posse Comitatis case in LA, where they used Pete Kegbreaths, Kegbreaths said, you know, oh, we're going to use the military to do police work.
[SPEAKER_11]: And Judge Breyer said, Bingo, you can't do that because Posse Comitatis says you can't, they are absolutely, when Donald Trump appeals this to the Supreme Court.
[SPEAKER_11]: And says, I want you to let me, you know, use the military that way.
[SPEAKER_11]: The other side is going to come back and say, no, no, look, just the other day, you said when you were going to send somebody in New Orleans, you had to ask the governor,
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, he does he knows he has to he can't he can't claim it well.
[SPEAKER_11]: I didn't know no, dude.
[SPEAKER_08]: You knew yeah Right, but the judge pretty much a soul trump.
[SPEAKER_08]: You cannot cosplay Darth Vader with the Marines as you are stote stormtroopers I mean that that's pretty much it like this judge was like the Constitution's bouncer
[SPEAKER_08]: He's like, sorry, pal, your name's not on a parchment.
[SPEAKER_08]: You're not getting in.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, Ryer, Ryer scored this guy.
[SPEAKER_08]: He said Trump is trying to create a national police force with himself as chief.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right, guys, I gotta tell ya.
[SPEAKER_08]: I spent half the night trying to think, what's another word for that?
[SPEAKER_08]: What's the word I'm looking for?
[SPEAKER_08]: A national police force with the ruler himself as the chief, and I get, get stopo.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right there you go, and as a way, no due process, protective custody we call it when we indefinitely throw people in concentration camps, big surveillance stay, people spying on each other and criminalizing descent.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh my, I finally found the right word.
[SPEAKER_08]: And also the judge said there was no rebellion in LA because there there wasn't it was people it was Angelito saying you know stop blocking the sidewalk side by you know My latte needs foam and again, there's no rebellion in DC crimes at a 30 year low and he's making these national guardsmen
[SPEAKER_08]: do landscaping work and see them regressing the public area can I tell you I I love the fact that that it's well it's not our tax dollars I guess it's the tax dollars of the folks back home in their states that are paying for the national guardsmen to be transported putting them up in hotels in DC and Chicago and having them armed and handling sod.
[SPEAKER_08]: Did you see that the
[SPEAKER_08]: And they had over their camouflage, orange reflecting vests, to clean, and you think of a better metaphor.
[SPEAKER_08]: Visually, for maybe they didn't think things through before they started this job today.
[SPEAKER_08]: Maybe when you've got troops wearing bright, orange reflecting vests on top of camouflage,
[SPEAKER_08]: That's all the symbol you need to know the chaos that's going on.
[SPEAKER_08]: The only thing Trump is successfully deployed is mulch.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, that's it.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I can't wait for people to really understand.
[SPEAKER_08]: I haven't thought this through in public yet.
[SPEAKER_08]: And wait, like Greg Abbott said, he's going to send National Guardsman from Texas.
[SPEAKER_08]: to go up to Chicago?
[SPEAKER_08]: There's a whole thing.
[SPEAKER_08]: Wait, there's a whole thing.
[SPEAKER_08]: And in full, Texas men and women, out of their jobs, out of their families, North and the fall and winter.
[SPEAKER_08]: Out of their businesses, they've got to run, send them north, and see what happens after a few weeks.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, and the residents of Chicago, the citizens of Texas will get to pay for this deployment and the not inexpensive hotel bills in Chicago.
[SPEAKER_08]: So they can clean the parks there while carrying live ammunition.
[SPEAKER_08]: If the folks in Texas, the voters are going to like paying for this as much as they like Greg Abbott being mean to brown people in Illinois.
[SPEAKER_14]: It costs it costs California taxpayers over a hundred million dollars No, yeah, and the best part Trump's lawyers told the judge they certainly understand
[SPEAKER_08]: that the president can't do whatever he feels like or or move the military around like it's uber eats like trumpsler is basically said okay judge we know he can't do it but he wants to that was the whole thing I mean I like I loved I loved though that Breyer wrote you could tell and and I was I was assuming that this was the case uh I can't I don't remember was last week when Jared was here or two weeks ago when two weeks ago
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, and and we were talking about it then John and then last week we're talking about it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Who I was I was waiting for Briar to put this down because I knew that he was taking his time to write his We've got some great lawyer friends.
[SPEAKER_11]: Obviously some of them come on your show on series XM2 But I've been been talking with him and they said My assumption was correct that Judge Briar wrote this thing so tight That when Donald Trump appeals it to the Supreme Court
[SPEAKER_11]: It's going to kick him in the ass because right now, it just pertains to California.
[SPEAKER_11]: He goes after Supreme Court appeals this.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's going to pertain to the entire country, even the other territories, the only place that it won't is DC.
[SPEAKER_11]: And look at the house, I don't know if you saw it in today's news on tap, but the House Republicans are doing what Republicans
[SPEAKER_11]: especially Republicans some Democrats have done but definitely Republicans usually do which is the kick dc they're trying to take away some of the home rule stuff they're trying to get rid of dc's elected attorney general because the attorney general today suit the trooper jeem for trying to invade them and they're like, well, he's the way I'm going, yeah, it's
[SPEAKER_08]: We got to take names on all of these.
[SPEAKER_08]: The Democrats who do the best in fundraising are going to be the ones who promise full accountability.
[SPEAKER_08]: We haven't had ever seen that in America.
[SPEAKER_08]: We didn't have full accountability for the Confederates.
[SPEAKER_08]: We didn't have full accountability after Iran cons.
[SPEAKER_08]: We didn't have any accountability after what Nixon did.
[SPEAKER_08]: I didn't see any full accountability for the people in our government and media who lied 5,000 soldiers of their death in Iraq and killed 900,000 Iraqis.
[SPEAKER_08]: And there was not any real full accountability for the terrorists who had cops of beaten on January 6.
[SPEAKER_08]: They went after the low level confederates.
[SPEAKER_08]: They never go after the plantation owners who pay for it.
[SPEAKER_08]: The hell built that gallows.
[SPEAKER_08]: We still don't know.
[SPEAKER_08]: We still don't need.
[SPEAKER_08]: We've never been to the wrong places to have the gallows built.
[SPEAKER_08]: We don't even know.
[SPEAKER_08]: They never went after the leaders of it.
[SPEAKER_08]: So the Democrats that are going to get my support as an independent.
[SPEAKER_08]: not to be cynical Democrats but that is sort of what the game's all about right now is that the Democrats who are going to do the strongest next year are going to be the ones who promise accountability because I said on the show last week I've come to your is Mike Raysey conspiracy theory the oligarchs who own this country the landlords
[SPEAKER_08]: They're not done with this guy.
[SPEAKER_08]: They got their crypto loophole.
[SPEAKER_08]: They got their unholy tax cut.
[SPEAKER_08]: They got their deregulation to pollute and poison people only one.
[SPEAKER_08]: They don't need this tariff nonsense.
[SPEAKER_08]: They don't need this national guard misshigas.
[SPEAKER_08]: None of this is good for business.
[SPEAKER_08]: They can get the same results out of the vansket or one of the bushboys.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, like the judge, but you wait and see, they're trying to cheat in taxes 15 months early.
[SPEAKER_08]: because they know how bad it's going to look after a year of tariffs and it seems not going away.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, it's not.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, no, it's not.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I was I was thrilled by the way to see the survivors on the steps of the capital yesterday.
[SPEAKER_11]: They very strong, very powerful.
[SPEAKER_11]: I was
[SPEAKER_11]: frankly surprised to see Marjorie Taylor Green there.
[SPEAKER_08]: We got a crazer and Lauren Bober and Nancy Bass and Thomas Bassie.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can always give Lauren Bober to hand.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know what I'm saying with you.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't do that.
[SPEAKER_08]: That is not fair to that poor woman.
[SPEAKER_08]: Listen, you cynical liberals, Lauren Bobert is one of the few Republicans who's always willing to reach across the island, give out jobs.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay?
[SPEAKER_08]: Let's have some respect for these people.
[SPEAKER_08]: If Lauren Bobert and Nancy Mason, Thomas Massey, and MGT want to come over to the light and be right about one thing, sure.
[SPEAKER_08]: Why don't we hope that they like how it feels so much?
[SPEAKER_08]: They'll do it again.
[SPEAKER_08]: Let's not be liberal, we're not gonna get progress with smug liberal, I told you so.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thank you for being here.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thank you for being decent.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's nice, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: It's nice to be a good person It's nice to want to stop evil men who exploit the less fortunate.
[SPEAKER_08]: You can apply this to all levels of governance, March.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know that?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yep, I mean, let's just let's just hope, but I mean, these women I want to get every mail over each 13 to watch this whole thing They survived So it's got wrenching abuse and they said we know the names We lived a nightmare if you cowards won't release the files will do it ourselves and Jeff Epstein's former golf bro says
[SPEAKER_08]: They're a hoax, you know, be women that are cropped.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hydroxychloroquine, Sharpie weather maps.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's all, that's all science.
[SPEAKER_08]: But cowardice is speak or Mike Johnson's telling these women.
[SPEAKER_08]: We'll leave no stone unturned and then 10 minutes later, he turns the stone over and crawls under it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Says, oh, we've released everything we can.
[SPEAKER_08]: these women are done being silenced.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is the part in the horror movie where the the shy girl who still left alive in the end picks up the acts herself and goes after the killer.
[SPEAKER_08]: We reach that part in the horror movie.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's why I love how strong these women are.
[SPEAKER_11]: I love how I love how I love strong women.
[SPEAKER_11]: Jodie.
[SPEAKER_11]: Just saying.
[SPEAKER_11]: She shows her guns.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I love the fact that they're not taking any BS anymore.
[SPEAKER_11]: I, and especially from Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, some of them, and he did the stupid, you noticed it before I did, Jody, the stupid flyover, to try to silence them during his own pace.
[SPEAKER_08]: So childish, it was just the micro penis energy, micro penis energy.
[SPEAKER_08]: And he's sitting there sweating bronzer into his tie.
[SPEAKER_08]: It goes, it's a hug.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's like, dude, your name is in those files more time than the word massage.
[SPEAKER_08]: If there's nothing in the files, why are they fighting so far?
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: Why are they saying it's going to be an only thing?
[SPEAKER_08]: The media has to say and Democrats have to say.
[SPEAKER_08]: And we have to keep repeating, we'll repeat it a long time, because this story is not going away.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thank God.
[SPEAKER_08]: He cannot release the names and he cannot make it go away.
[SPEAKER_11]: It goes along with the accountability thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is I have been I've been saying for I think most of the summer now The two words that we need to see from every Democrat and every independent out there and how if you know non-feron Republicans want to jump on board this train Fine, I'm getting spice.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, sorry, bro.
[SPEAKER_08]: The two words are I was a public in America today, and now words are stuck in my head.
[SPEAKER_08]: Sorry September
[SPEAKER_11]: that the two words are accountability and affordability.
[SPEAKER_11]: Those are the two most important words that every and the funny thing.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'd reverse them by the way.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh yeah, affordability first.
[SPEAKER_11]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I mean, we need the accountability at the level that you've been saying, but so the funny thing is accountability is how you win the primary and affordability is how you win the general.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, God.
[SPEAKER_11]: That is okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're going to, we're going to trademark that, John, because trademark that for you because that is holy cow.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: But that's exactly what's needed.
[SPEAKER_11]: Funny thing is that we're seeing in the New York City race in in the race in your town, John.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, Donald Trump is trying to get into it, get dive into the race.
[SPEAKER_11]: And every time he does this, Mamdanne is like, bring it, which is because I've got he's I love this.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can, I mean, it's your town.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, look, I know you Democrats are really trying to think of ways to get young people and young men on your side.
[SPEAKER_08]: Look at all the young people, highest turnout of young people in the history of New York's mayoral primary to vote for a young guy.
[SPEAKER_08]: Democrats, why you're leaving?
[SPEAKER_08]: Where are you going?
[SPEAKER_08]: Hey, come back.
[SPEAKER_08]: Come back.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't enjoy this.
[SPEAKER_08]: I was on CNN the other night, or I MSNBC the other night, and they were all awesome.
[SPEAKER_08]: And they were all saying, oh, Barack Obama called him and I was like, yeah, did he endorse him?
[SPEAKER_14]: Not yet.
[SPEAKER_10]: Not yet.
[SPEAKER_08]: Almost called him.
[SPEAKER_08]: Eddie didn't endorse the man who won the Democratic primary in New York.
[SPEAKER_08]: Guys, let me tell you something.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're step up right now.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right wing people.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're always going to be Islamophobic.
[SPEAKER_08]: But if you're a coward, they're going to walk all over you.
[SPEAKER_08]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_08]: And you say screw you.
[SPEAKER_08]: You little big.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's what I said on CNN last week was they asked me my own popular opinion.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I said, so run mom Donnie's policies on.
[SPEAKER_08]: infant care on maternity on affordable housing on food resource is so much closer to the teachings of Christ and then every single Christian smearing him for being Muslim and it's true now Democrats might be scared to deliver that message and that's why they're not respected.
[SPEAKER_08]: But if you stand up and say, guess what?
[SPEAKER_08]: He's a Muslim, guess what?
[SPEAKER_08]: Brad Landr is a Jew, and I'm a Christian, and we're all in this together, and we recognize it, you don't may not like what America looks like 50 years from now, but we're fighting for you.
[SPEAKER_08]: And this guy's doing what Jesus commands us to do, and he is the democratically elected nominee of the state.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's got my vote.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, you say that, they might not like it, but they will respect you.
[SPEAKER_08]: They won't think you're a coward.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: I look at and right now, especially because of what's going on with for those we who missed it, the story is in the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_11]: The Donald Trump is trying to get Mayor Adams to quit so that they could shrink the field and that maybe Poma would have a better chance.
[SPEAKER_08]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Really powerful Adams coalition, you know.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Some of the numbers people already came out and said, you know, how much you would actually benefit him about 2%.
[SPEAKER_08]: but why would Donald Trump prefer Cuomo other than this skinny Muslim kitty can walk all over?
[SPEAKER_08]: That's the weird problem.
[SPEAKER_11]: Corruption.
[SPEAKER_11]: We all know that.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's what Cuomo and sex predators.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_08]: Johnny would be a vegan.
[SPEAKER_11]: Do we talk about this after we pay some bills here?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, let's do it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_11]: We got to pay some bills.
[SPEAKER_11]: Get your drink refresh.
[SPEAKER_11]: We got last call coming up.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's Thursday night with John Feele's saying, Jodie Hamilton and me, Sean Smith Pierce.
[SPEAKER_11]: And of course you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you for being here.
[SPEAKER_11]: At the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_05]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let's go here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're having a great time.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're laughing.
[SPEAKER_11]: John is doing a whole separate set during the break.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look, if you miss John Fugelsang's greatest, the best thing you can do, you can do him weeknights on serious XM.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can also subscribe to his sub-stack.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's very helpful.
[SPEAKER_11]: And of course you can buy his fantastic new book that's coming out in five days, every six days in hate.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hey, a person's guide to taking back the Bible from fundamentalist fascists and flock policing frauds for atheists and believers alike who have to deal with revoltingly right-wing fake Christian jerks.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, look, the next book you should do, maybe, is dealing with Democrats who are kind of fake and don't have the co-honest to actually step up and do their
[SPEAKER_11]: We were continuing to talk a little bit.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'll generally probably probably probably probably probably would support rather than that.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_08]: As much as I enjoy seeing people on the left attack each other, boy, it's good for elections.
[SPEAKER_08]: But I don't expect that my next vote.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I actually, we mentioned this to Jared.
[SPEAKER_11]: Jody and I'm, we talked about this yesterday.
[SPEAKER_11]: So there is a writer who shall remain nameless, who is on the left.
[SPEAKER_11]: And who we had followed on on the the politics bar, Blue Sky.
[SPEAKER_11]: and then that was fine.
[SPEAKER_11]: And he was getting out there and he was basically saying, well, you know what, all these damn independence and these former Republicans, I don't freaking trust these people for anything.
[SPEAKER_11]: I trust farther left liberals than I do any of these freaks and make them, they can go f off.
[SPEAKER_11]: By the way, for those of you, you can't see it.
[SPEAKER_11]: John is closing his eyes and shaking his eyes.
[SPEAKER_08]: And try to try.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_14]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_11]: see exactly this is exactly and i was just i was like i'm sorry we're unfollowing this dude because he's occasionally right but the fact is who is the guy who said it i will i will be very nice and and and not let this put his name rhyme with i'll tell you i'll tell you all fair tell me in the breaks so i can tell my list or so the show did i keep told you good night
[SPEAKER_11]: Here's the thing, it bothered me because of the fact that this is leftier than now, whole year than now.
[SPEAKER_11]: And yet some of these same people, when it comes to doing things that would actually get them elected, they don't have the courage of their convictions.
[SPEAKER_11]: They don't come out and stand for, they don't stand for our LGBTQ friends.
[SPEAKER_11]: They don't stand for trans people.
[SPEAKER_11]: They don't stand for people.
[SPEAKER_08]: They don't stand for people.
[SPEAKER_11]: They don't stand for people.
[SPEAKER_08]: They don't stand for people.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_08]: If you campaign to care for the least of us, to care for the sick, to welcome the stranger, to be kind to the marginalized, to care for the poor.
[SPEAKER_08]: If you do the exact things, Jesus commands us to do, the Christians will call you a woke Marxist.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_08]: That is the world that we've grown up in.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's why I wrote the book.
[SPEAKER_08]: That is the disease Christianity, which has always existed in this country by the way.
[SPEAKER_08]: What my books really about is,
[SPEAKER_08]: It's about how to, yeah, all the arguments the right wing uses to twist the Bible for every issue.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I made it about, hey, it's not about conservatives because conservative Christians are, I disagree with them, but there's still nice people they don't hate us.
[SPEAKER_08]: This book's about the haters, and that's why I
[SPEAKER_08]: call the chapters.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, shall not hate the gates.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, shall not hate people if I had abortions.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, shall not hate the poor.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, shall not hate gun safety legislation.
[SPEAKER_08]: Like, and this is about the people actually out there who really believe there's a God or a Jesus who hates the same people they hate.
[SPEAKER_08]: And once you believe that, your cruelty is not cruelty.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're on the side of Satan against the side of the one true God.
[SPEAKER_08]: You really can't do anything that's wrong when it's all gonna be found favorable in the eyes of God, who again,
[SPEAKER_08]: just likes to say people you just like like they luckily enough and it's it's a lot of crap it's really bad for America it's bad for democracy it's bad for religion and I just got tired of seeing my parents' faith prostituted into this mean little overwhelmingly white tax-free click that wants to wave Jesus around his a prop and then you know
[SPEAKER_08]: It's the Caroline Lovex Christianity.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's like a big dump on the New Testament while hiding behind a big shiny gold cross.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yes, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_14]: And Publio agrees with you.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes he does.
[SPEAKER_08]: My deep-dish Pope.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hell yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I guess the Gagopo.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look, and the fact of the matter is he actually, he is so Chicago.
[SPEAKER_11]: I can't remember where I saw this.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's so Chicago.
[SPEAKER_08]: There will be some.
[SPEAKER_08]: He'll receive your sins and hide a body for you.
[SPEAKER_08]: This guy.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's so Chicago.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, and he has some mask on.
[SPEAKER_08]: He doesn't say peace be with you.
[SPEAKER_08]: He says, OK, we good.
[SPEAKER_08]: We good.
[SPEAKER_11]: There was an anecdote, some local station, I saw a little YouTube clip of it, and it was funny, because it was in Illinois, and probably in the WCPT listening area, and they were like, so these people were like, oh, the Pope got his favorite pizza.
[SPEAKER_11]: Somebody delivered it to him, whatever, and somebody else was like, oh, it's a deep test.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's like, no, no, people who really know Chicago know real Chicago.
[SPEAKER_08]: is cracker crust real chicane tell you say it's both how dare you ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[SPEAKER_11]: You got me into dinner now.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's what I'm thinking.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm thinking of food.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm thinking of, you know, a late evening dinner now because it is late evening, and you know, I didn't get food earlier so All this talk of pizza's got me starving.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yes, I know hungry.
[SPEAKER_14]: What is going on?
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I mean, you know, we get our food.
[SPEAKER_11]: We get our food menu up here too But you know, we have the plenty of drink menu, which is which is fantastic.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have all kinds of good drinks here.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have all kinds of there is some good news as well.
[SPEAKER_11]: Powerball jackpot.
[SPEAKER_11]: I believe it's up to 1.8
[SPEAKER_11]: Billion now I think he's a little bit of that just a scope.
[SPEAKER_08]: I agree because last week's here in New York It was only 5.7 million and I'm like dude, I got bills to pay.
[SPEAKER_08]: I need a real lot.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look, I have I said this journey I said this earlier.
[SPEAKER_11]: If either of us won, we're gonna go around and be like, you know, hey John, here's a here's a couple million You can have we're gonna get some to staff some to Bob's a yeah, keep saying that keep saying that on the record digital's forever Sean
[SPEAKER_08]: I have, look, you guys heard it, couple million to me, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: And if I had that kind of money, I absolutely wouldn't.
[SPEAKER_11]: That is something that absolutely drives me nuts, as you know, is that the people who have the money and claim that they are on the left do not support the government.
[SPEAKER_08]: If you had billions of dollars, you'd go to Mars and try to make lame white men think you're cool.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's what Billion Airs do.
[SPEAKER_08]: You go to Mars and you try to make losers on the internet think you're cool.
[SPEAKER_08]: I learned this this year.
[SPEAKER_11]: There was something there wasn't in the entertainment stuff that I absolutely didn't know if you had seen this and I was I was like, we've got to tell John about this Bruce Springsteen going to be releasing the Fabled electric Nebraska sessions including an early rendition of born in the USA you who are on the box set.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's not on the box set Just now this this is all well.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think it's it's it's this is new.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think I don't know if it's one that just came out or one It's about to come out, but this is all.
[SPEAKER_08]: Let's just came out.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, tracks to

[SPEAKER_11]: It's in the news on tap, but I'm sitting there going It's kind of cool that that Bruce is still digging.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's kind of cool that we had earlier in the week.
[SPEAKER_11]: Uh, Jody's all-time favorite band is releasing a new set with 71 different tracks.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, yeah, the way you're right.
[SPEAKER_08]: You're you're so right.

[SPEAKER_08]: It's very good.
[SPEAKER_08]: And yeah, the who just played the garden last night.

[SPEAKER_08]: No, I didn't go, I didn't go see the who and I really wanted to go see Oasis over the weekend.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: I spent all summer trying to think of a way I could go to see Oasis in Jersey and it's just a little bit of a crazy week for Daddy.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: I went to the outlaw festival.
[SPEAKER_08]: I got to see Bob and Dylan and Willie and Wilcoe and Lucinda in one day.
[SPEAKER_08]: So that kind of filled up my summer.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I never seen Lucinda live and I mean she did well my guitar gently we've she closed with rocking in the free world I mean so great she doesn't play guitar anymore, but she sings beautifully Wilco was great Bob Dylan on the outlaw tour is having the time of his life like none of the songs sound like the originally doing like five country covers and it's just like a
[SPEAKER_08]: a bouncy, hoot, nanny, fun, show, cool, and, and Willie, I got to go back to stage as he was trailer, an interview him, he's 92, and we aired that interview on Series XM, so, right, for those of you who missed it, it's a series XM app.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's, so that's my concert going for the summer, but I'd like to go see more of it.
[SPEAKER_14]: No, I'd like to go see the hoot in a couple of weeks, but I can't afford the tickets.
[SPEAKER_08]: I've seen them since sent whistle died, I'd like to go.
[SPEAKER_14]: Oh my God, you've missed a lot.
[SPEAKER_14]: Uh, fly.
[SPEAKER_14]: I saw them the weekend that he died, so.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_08]: That was a hell of a show.
[SPEAKER_08]: I saw one of the Hollywood full years ago.
[SPEAKER_08]: I first met them.
[SPEAKER_08]: many years ago when I was a VH1 and they were during Quadra Feity at the Garden and the Leigh Eidel and Gary Glitter was at the University of the University of the United States.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, you know, Pete was my first guest when they moved us to nighttime and it was painful in my life as I knew it ended because I was working with the hell of a fire.
[SPEAKER_08]: Our first guest at our nighttime show on the progress channel was Pete Townsend.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's in here.
[SPEAKER_08]: Rodgers done our show as well.
[SPEAKER_14]: No, I mean, I literally want to go, but they're playing on Wednesday the 17th and then the 20th at the ball, which means I'm friends with Roger, but trying to get tickets and passes to the ball.
[SPEAKER_08]: Impossible.
[SPEAKER_14]: They're last tour?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_14]: Insane.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I'm part of the Zack Starkey Liberation Front, so I might not be well.
[SPEAKER_14]: No, I actually was in a limo with him years ago with Zack.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, look, they found the way to get people talking about the tour.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's just, you know, I mean, I thought it was really cool that Ringo's son was there drummer.
[SPEAKER_10]: I know.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think it was good.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's not for nothing.
[SPEAKER_08]: He was there drummer for, like, more than twice as long as their late drummer was their drummer.
[SPEAKER_14]: Well, then their late drummer talks that kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_08]: What?
[SPEAKER_08]: Keith was Zach's godfather.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's like so in the family, it's so beautiful and I'm really sorry that they couldn't keep it together for one more tour because I always love sings, Zach, so I keep playing with them.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I, I still don't know entirely everything behind that sounds like they want us to know either.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, that knows Raj and Pete now.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, right.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I don't see some of that stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't necessarily want to, that's, that's personal stuff, you know?
[SPEAKER_11]: But I, it does, it does make me wonder a little bit.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, someday, like I say about Donald Trump, all the gossip will come out.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, as Donald Trump is praying for money, because he wants to go to heaven, folks your money won't send up to heaven, but he dies about 10,000 NDA's are going to go to heaven.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, what a howdy.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's going to be Michael Wolpe is going to write six books before the funeral's over.
[SPEAKER_08]: That was much revealed when this guy leaves it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Where were you, where were you at this last weekend?
[SPEAKER_11]: When you, or did you, did you wait until like Monday or, you know, on Labor Day or whatever, was seeing the Donald Trump's dead thing that happened on social media.
[SPEAKER_11]: I was like, give me a break.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, you know, I listen I don't I don't go for that stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, no, no, but I mean, but it's it's same time.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was one of those where it It started on Twitter and then it eventually propagated to the others and everybody The people that I could say, oh my god, he's dead and I said have you checked with any legitimate sources?
[SPEAKER_11]: Because I can guarantee you when he legitimately dies They're going to be parades in the street.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's not gonna be a bottle of champagne unpops in the US and you know, so I'm gonna come on feel okay
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, do you want to go here?
[SPEAKER_08]: Do we have time to talk about this?
[SPEAKER_08]: Cause he's not a hell, I want to tell you liberals, be kind to Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's not a healthy man.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, he's not.
[SPEAKER_08]: The doctor has to check his cholesterol with a dipstick.
[SPEAKER_08]: You monsters, okay?
[SPEAKER_08]: His blood type is rich.
[SPEAKER_08]: Be kind to Donald Trump has to take a golf cart to get to his golf cart, all right?
[SPEAKER_08]: He tried to fire his pancreas.
[SPEAKER_08]: He is not a well-man, folks.
[SPEAKER_08]: His ankles were last seen applied for FEMA aid.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, can you be kind to him?
[SPEAKER_08]: The man's body is 40% crisco at this point and it's treadmill suit him.
[SPEAKER_08]: Can you monsters put your petty politics aside?
[SPEAKER_08]: He thinks BMI means big Mac intake.

[SPEAKER_08]: His idea of fiber is licking a McNuggets box and you liberals should be there for this man.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, I guarantee we'll be there.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll be there.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're zippers at the ready when how bad is it?
[SPEAKER_08]: How bad is it?
[SPEAKER_08]: How badly do they want to distract from Epstein and the tariffs that they're talking about his poor health?
[SPEAKER_08]: The cats out of the compression sock now.
