[SPEAKER_09]: We will talk about that wonderful palm royale event.
[SPEAKER_09]: And if you guys haven't been watching, you should be just saying it.

[SPEAKER_06]: It's on my way.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's on my list of things to see this weekend.
[SPEAKER_09]: That is something I'm going to be doing.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's watching the palm royale finale this weekend because, you know, I mean,
[SPEAKER_09]: I haven't exactly had a whole lot of time to do that this week.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I mean, I was like, I mean, either one of us watched it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then we ran it, a friend of mine actually texted it to me, and I'm like, please, I didn't see it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, don't spoil it, don't spoil it.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, it was, he didn't spoil it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, and then I, when I ran into one of the actors that's on the show, I said, if you see any of you guys, yeah, and I said, I heard it's tear jerk or E, and he goes, oh, especially for people like you.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'm like, okay, and I did not see him after the thing, but he was absolutely right.

[SPEAKER_09]: before I, you know, talked about all of the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_09]: I would probably sound like sometime they jet engine do.
[SPEAKER_07]: Definitely.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's just, there's been so much damn news this week.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it has been insane.
[SPEAKER_09]: But there was a couple of pieces that really, we should hit off the top.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, in the first round today of the news on tap from the politics bar.com, uh, the section under patriotic Americans versus the Trump regime under Trump regime's Isatex, uh, there are two links from the New York Times.
[SPEAKER_09]: One has text to give to like one as video.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's free.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can see it.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the long and the short is very important.
[SPEAKER_09]: And a couple of our friends broke it out, Allison Gill, broke it out on her blue sky account today, noting that according to the records, the 911 records, they released those from the chaos during the killing of Renee Good.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Jonathan Ross, the ice thug who murdered Renee Good was not in fact taken to the hospital.
[UNKNOWN]: No.
[SPEAKER_09]: According to literally the police reports, he was taken to the federal building.
[SPEAKER_09]: But he was not injured.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's according to reports on that day.
[SPEAKER_06]: By the fact that feds.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: So...
[SPEAKER_06]: He might have a bruise because you know he dropped his phone and started.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, he certainly had a bruised ego.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I mean, bruised is technically internal bleeding.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, what we know that he has, you know, a bruise to his tiny peening go because he's oh, it was being made flowing mean, which is why there should be a civil rights investigation because if he has a problem with lesbians, that's a civil rights investigation.
[SPEAKER_09]: Which definitely seems like he does and there will be such an investigation.
[SPEAKER_09]: There will be accountability for Mr. Good or Mr. Bad as it is, Mr. Ross.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: And there will be justice or at least accountability for Renee Goods murder.
[SPEAKER_09]: In fact,
[SPEAKER_06]: uh... something else uh... you can actually view the video one of the things we employer to view that video from your times i will actually clear yeah you saw he wasn't even close to the car was he no matter what angle i mean the one angle that donald likes is the one that so far away of course and but even at that angle you can see he moves to the side
[SPEAKER_09]: He was not hit by the car.
[SPEAKER_09]: There is something else, and I have to apologize to Jody, and I will apologize to you on behalf of everyone, because everyone except Jody got this wrong.
[SPEAKER_09]: When we were running through the playback, the day after Renee Good was murdered.
[SPEAKER_09]: With the glad?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, with Glenn Kirchner.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you noted that there were four shots, and everyone else has said there were three.
[SPEAKER_09]: And today,
[SPEAKER_09]: with the notes that are in the New York Times and the video there, it was confirmed that there were four.
[SPEAKER_09]: Jody is right.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think the other officer also shot.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's just my intention.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm trying to think you're right.
[SPEAKER_09]: I look, I mean, you know, one of the, one of the many reasons I trust you is your perspective is fantastic and you are right so often.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know if I'm right.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, unless it's proven, I don't know, but I'm saying just about you, you knew that there were four shots and everybody else said there were three and everybody ran with three and you went, okay, whatever that's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's not important.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, she's dead.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's what's important.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: And she wasn't dead when she hit.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's the other thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I said that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I said, if she could have been saved in the 15 minutes between her hitting that
[SPEAKER_09]: and i don't know if she could have there is we still try look we we absolutely did put this in because of the fact that uh... you know uh... it's it's from fox which i don't always like but uh... renegade with shot four times
[SPEAKER_09]: but it also said that when she was shot um while she wasn't breathing uh she did have a uh light pulse which means she was not technically dead.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, if your heart's still going you're alive.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you were shot in the chest, so God only knows that you don't compression.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you know, she was shot in the head and chest, so we don't know.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the whole point is is that they didn't let medical attention get to her for 15 minutes.
[SPEAKER_09]: You have a point like head and chest wound, you're, you need immediate medical attention.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm 15 minutes later.
[SPEAKER_06]: Glenn Kirchner said with Stephanie this morning that just because somebody says the reductor doesn't mean they're a doctor right right I heard that absolutely he's not wrong right so then you clear the way for first responders to get there which DHS people did not do they just left their vehicles they block this day I know I know this from from my mom who was an
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_09]: So she went through high school, went to nursing school immediately after high school did her two years of nursing school got her RN.
[SPEAKER_09]: This was back in the 60s.
[SPEAKER_09]: So they didn't really have BSNs, they do now.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, well, I'm in.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I could miss he's going through that right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, I remember that.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a hell of a degree.
[SPEAKER_09]: Back then, it was either RN or LPN.
[SPEAKER_09]: And LPN was a light version.
[SPEAKER_09]: The RN was the serious version.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: So when my mom got it, RN was the serious version.
[SPEAKER_09]: But my mom, she got that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's, you know, she's still, I still occasionally, you know, I have the 24-hour asconders.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just call mom, workshop, so anyway.
[SPEAKER_09]: But um, she taught me these things.
[SPEAKER_09]: And one of the things is every state has different rules about this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I don't know what Minnesota's rules are.
[SPEAKER_09]: But if you have a medical license and you don't stop in some states, you can use your medical license for not stopping.
[SPEAKER_09]: If there's an accident, if there's something like this.
[SPEAKER_09]: And in some states, if you have a medical license, you're attempting to aid in an emergency situation and somebody blocks you.
[SPEAKER_09]: That person can be held criminally or civilly liable for whatever they potentially prevented.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know what Minnesota's rules are on this kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, according to the reporting was when the doctor who we assume as a doctor came up and said, I'm a doctor.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let me help her.
[SPEAKER_06]: They said, no, you can't.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think one of the people said, I don't care.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that's the whole thing of it doesn't matter what they said.
[SPEAKER_09]: The fact that they actually didn't let him provide aid.
[SPEAKER_09]: If Minnesota's laws are congratulations.
[SPEAKER_09]: You've stopped putting you stop somebody from providing aid.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now you're liable.
[SPEAKER_06]: those other ice agents, whoever they were, they may be also held liable for what is a second degree murder, second degree, second degree man's water maybe yeah, it's a negligent homicide something like that, but the other thing is is once you're in law enforcement, which these guys are technically not law enforcement, but say that they are, okay, you harm a suspect, mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_06]: you own taking care of that suspect exactly it was hearing Glenn say that earlier today yeah literally speaking that's your purview like from the moment you take responsibility right exactly from the moment you take responsibility it is your responsibility to make sure that they don't die because uh i don't know you might want a question them uh i want to you know so many things that matter
[SPEAKER_09]: and depending on certain law enforcement agencies if you do things that can, you know, that end up preventing cases because you did something that would let the person go or they end up dying, you're asking to be in serious trouble.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just, yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: I just saw a video a friend of mine posted, I don't know where it's from, but this person, this man, white guy at mine too, was in mental distress.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: He called the police not ice, but he called the police and they got there and he's in mental distress.
[SPEAKER_06]: So that was the phone call to 911.
[SPEAKER_06]: This person is not having a good day.
[SPEAKER_06]: We need it deuscalate.
[SPEAKER_06]: We need to take care of him.
[SPEAKER_06]: Not only did they man handle him, but once they had, he was in handcuffs on the ground.
[SPEAKER_06]: He said, please stop.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please stop.
[SPEAKER_06]: They had him in a neck
[SPEAKER_06]: Similar to George Floyd right very similar in handcuffs.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like he can't go anywhere What's your handcuff?
[SPEAKER_06]: It's really hard on the ground especially it's hard to get up It's what do anything right?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and especially and he called them and then he they're like oh I hope I didn't kill him and he died and they were joking about I hope I didn't kill him and laughing And I bet they got
[SPEAKER_09]: This is one of the things we got to talk about this today.
[SPEAKER_09]: We got to talk about some of the people who are being down and depressed about stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: We got to, there's so much to talk about today.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm glad that all, you know, you guys coming into the bar here are very good about this.
[SPEAKER_09]: By the way, Julie, over on sub-stacks, that today's drink of the day looks really good, but I've been not so much.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, he's not.
[SPEAKER_06]: No.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I mean, it is.
[SPEAKER_09]: But look, there are certain people who are monsters in history.
[SPEAKER_09]: Donald Trump will be one of those people going forward, 100%.
[SPEAKER_09]: Even if you're a maggot here and you go, oh, well, I like him, I go, yeah, but you realize virtually everyone else on the planet doesn't.
[SPEAKER_09]: And actually according to the polls, most Americans don't like it on either right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: So we will talk about the polls, we will talk about Donald Trump's failing economy.
[SPEAKER_09]: which, look, Americans are smarter than you think, and they're tougher than you think.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're absolutely also going to talk about what Patriots are doing to fight these ice monsters, because that's important.

[SPEAKER_09]: Um, yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: there's a lot of the monsters have been doing a lot of stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: We do have the stories uh uh there's a local fox affiliate that wrote up the story about the North Minneapolis shooting that children hospitalized after the flashbang and tear gas at the van um there is a death of a Cuban immigrant in an ice facility in Texas that's actually been ruled a homicide.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, he's about to rule as far as I recall the.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I can't remember they that's he's on his way to ruling.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's waiting for some test results to come back.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, but hey, if you listen to the future, right, it's it's very clear that he was murdered.
[SPEAKER_09]: And and look, we've said they were concentration camps.
[SPEAKER_09]: Then there are there you go, um, there are there was a guy.
[SPEAKER_09]: There was a black man who was killed in LA by an Ice agents off duty on New Year's Eve.
[SPEAKER_09]: a lot of the media missed out on now they're going back and picking up some of them there was another one it was a last fall I think it was there's more of these stories coming up because people are they're feeling less afraid and I think it's important that people are feeling less afraid
[SPEAKER_09]: I know you were mentioning earlier this week some people made the comment that they think I'm a little naive.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not naive at any of this stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: But what I'm saying is, especially as a white man who has used my privilege on the regular for other people, whether it's women or black people or brown people or Asian people or Native Americans or Spanish who I don't care what I don't matter me not.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, if you're a decent person, great.
[SPEAKER_09]: Literally.
[SPEAKER_09]: When I was a kid, and I can't say all of this because there are a lot of slurs, so I won't.
[SPEAKER_09]: But my dad was trying to teach me the difference because I was like, I don't understand why, you know, I remember having this conversation.
[SPEAKER_09]: I must have been about, I don't know, six or seven.
[SPEAKER_06]: Seven, I think.
[SPEAKER_06]: Wow, very young.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, because I heard somebody making a slur to somebody else of a different race.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then I heard somebody else making another slur to the person who made this lurk, or they were also doing.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I was like,
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, I don't get that.
[SPEAKER_09]: My dad was like, first I, he just was like just ignore him.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're being idiots, which they were.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then I thought about it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm like, how come there are so many different names like bad names for people?
[SPEAKER_09]: It's an obvious question that kids ask.
[SPEAKER_09]: And my dad was like, okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not going to sit you down and teach you about this.
[SPEAKER_09]: And so he says, I'm going to give you a list of names.
[SPEAKER_09]: And these are all things.
[SPEAKER_09]: These are bad words.
[SPEAKER_09]: These are bad names that people call each other.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he just gave me a list.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then he said, now I'm going to give you the same list, but all good people.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he goes back and he aims white people and black people and underneath.
[SPEAKER_09]: So what's the first group names in the second group names?
[SPEAKER_09]: He said, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_09]: I said the second group names are just people.
[SPEAKER_09]: The first group names are all A-holes.
[SPEAKER_09]: I went, oh, they're bad people.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're nasty, they're mean, they're awful.
[SPEAKER_09]: don't be one of those people who call somebody one of those names be somebody who's like in the second group where you acknowledge everybody and anybody in any of those groups can be a I don't remember what the word he is my brain rings up as a whole he obviously can say when I was seven but you know I'm monster.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I was like, no, okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: So basically, don't be an A-hole.
[SPEAKER_09]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, got it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now I understand the difference.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now I understand why that person was calling that person and A-m and that person was calling the other person and A-m. That's where I've been my whole life.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I realize there are a lot of white people, especially privilege white people, who have not been there and they're afraid of losing whatever they've got.
[SPEAKER_09]: But I got to tell you, if you look back in history, history, you know, one of my minors.
[SPEAKER_09]: And at the history is very clear, the people who were afraid of things that statistically may not have happened and didn't stand out beforehand, it's the, it's the Nemoa poem, first they came for.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it's always outward.
[SPEAKER_06]: Or halfway through that poem right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you are, if you are not looking around and worried that they will come for you, congratulations, they are going to come for everybody, unless everybody stands up to them.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I know that made a mind just, is decided that she's, she's wittle down some friends of hers.
[SPEAKER_06]: We don't live in the same city anymore.
[SPEAKER_06]: And she's wittle down some friends because they're magas.
[SPEAKER_06]: And she's like, I completely don't know what to think of these people
[SPEAKER_09]: it's okay to cut ties.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, sometimes it is.
[SPEAKER_09]: We can't tell you how to handle each one of your friends, your family members, how to do it.
[SPEAKER_09]: You do what's best for you.
[SPEAKER_09]: But understand that doing what's best for you, it's okay to cut some of those ties sometimes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Perfectly fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's sad.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, family members, a lot of people are, you know, I can't talk to certain family members of mine.
[SPEAKER_06]: Mind you, it's the generation below me.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yikes, wow.
[SPEAKER_06]: Granite, they're millennials.
[UNKNOWN]: Ha ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, but I've I've I've I've I've said this for years.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, this is nothing I learned from my dad.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, so I said my dad early this week.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've mentioned that my dad, my mom, um, at least for my mom side was very contentious.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, divorce.
[SPEAKER_09]: But my dad always said, and he said, especially in dealing with all of us kids.
[SPEAKER_09]: He said the door is always open.
[SPEAKER_09]: So my sister, I didn't see his mad on my dad seen never got past it.
[SPEAKER_09]: So whatever.
[SPEAKER_09]: My brothers, at different times, decided to get past it, make a relationship with my dad.
[SPEAKER_09]: Have a good relationship.
[SPEAKER_09]: As adults with my dad.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that's great.
[SPEAKER_09]: I always had a relationship with my dad and my mom.
[SPEAKER_09]: I love them both.
[SPEAKER_09]: I love my stepdad, too, even though both my dads are gone.
[SPEAKER_09]: But my dad always said, you leave the door open, you leave the door open.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's up to you.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can cut them off and say, look.
[SPEAKER_09]: when you realize that being a magnet is a bad thing when you realize that following this authoritarian monster is a bad thing when you realize the people that you love that you're hurting because you're okay with somebody killing a white woman in a black woman in a Hispanic man because
[SPEAKER_09]: I know I can't I can't now if you ever pull your head out of your ass on that by God the doors open come on back say I'm sorry say I have you know I have screwed up.
[SPEAKER_09]: I have seen the light I'm asked up fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: Some people can't leave the door open and that's that's up to you too, but that's my that's that's my general rule of thumb is leave the door open because if nothing else Your heart is clear.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes
[SPEAKER_09]: You got no, you go, hey, you're being an A hole.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you stop being an A hole, come on back.
[SPEAKER_09]: But if you insist on being an A hole, don't let the door hit you where the good Lord splits you.
[SPEAKER_09]: And just makes it real clear to people sometimes.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're like, oh, okay, oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: So that's...
[SPEAKER_09]: He rockets science, man.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, it's not.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's, I mean, I feel bad for anybody, including myself because there are certain family members that if I see them, it's very surface.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I don't see them terribly often, funerals, mainly my age.
[SPEAKER_06]: And so it's like I, you know, nice to see you kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: But in general, I don't have relationships with several of my nephews and a couple nieces.
[SPEAKER_06]: Actually, nieces in law.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, but I mean still, it's, it's important that people understand the
[SPEAKER_09]: the level in the depth to which this has rent our society.
[SPEAKER_09]: And look, if you're saying to yourself,
[SPEAKER_09]: that this does feel like it was a foreign op.
[SPEAKER_09]: I still 100% believe that it's always been a foreign op.
[SPEAKER_06]: It is.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's such a sign-up.
[SPEAKER_06]: It is such a sign-up.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it is absolutely a psychological operation designed to tear America apart.
[SPEAKER_09]: You'll all have seen the Marvel movies, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: Avengers Civil War?
[SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: Great.
[SPEAKER_09]: And in that,
[SPEAKER_09]: Zemo says to captain america and ironman, he says, you know, America could never be destroyed from outside.
[SPEAKER_06]: Didn't cruise traps say that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's a variant of cruise ships thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: But he noted he said, you know, but if I can get you guys to fight each other.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_06]: Look.
[SPEAKER_06]: More close.
[SPEAKER_06]: Unfortunately.
[SPEAKER_09]: But we are close, but I still think there are a lot of stronger Americans than people think.
[SPEAKER_09]: And there, look, the right wing, as I sometimes call them, they pray on the fact that people don't know the laws, they don't understand things, and they pray on the fact that people are afraid.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, there's information we've got a story today in the news on tap and that first round under what patriots are doing to fight ICE.
[SPEAKER_09]: So let's say ICE may be headed to Maine.
[SPEAKER_09]: uh... portland and loistens specifically way up there well uh... uh... is it calling this piss and dawny off what is going on do you know steven poma Peterson that's a lot of names no he's a director of i've seen some of his posts on social media before but he had a really good one today that i know did he said one thing i've noticed is that the thugs keep moving to smaller cities they started in l a and kept pretty tame while hoping the national guard would do their dirt
[SPEAKER_06]: And of course, as we know, that in half, no, they just, they just took flowers from people in water and they were bored and wanted to continue.
[SPEAKER_09]: He says he says, then they tried going in Chicago, but got scared.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now they're getting stopped by a city with 450,000 people.
[SPEAKER_09]: Next stop, rural Maine.
[SPEAKER_09]: because they need a place that they can call a city, but is small enough that they can bring in their army of ice monsters and subjugate the city.
[SPEAKER_09]: So they can prove it and then say, see, we can defeat a whole city.
[SPEAKER_09]: Your city is next.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're trying to project power.
[SPEAKER_09]: But if they could have done it, they would have done it with LA or Chicago or DC.
[SPEAKER_09]: they would have done it with all these other places they've been to before.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're attempting to do it in Minneapolis and the great people of manyapolis and Minnesota right now are going wrong answer Jack.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, what they need to do in Minneapolis this weekend because most people aren't working this weekend is BC.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I'm okay with you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Welcome super duper organized.
[SPEAKER_09]: Be very careful this weekend, y'all, especially up in the cities, but all over Minnesota.
[SPEAKER_09]: Be very careful because yes, they have flooded them.
[SPEAKER_09]: The Trump regime has flooded ice monsters to Minnesota in a similar way that they have been trying to play this shell game with their neo-imperialist aims with Venezuela and the Middle East.
[SPEAKER_09]: Remember here this was last it was a new member.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think it was when they're oh we're going to move the carrier group and I said and I believe Malcolm said we had to be in an November beginning of December said that was really stupid because so they move the carrier group from the Middle East all over to Venezuela.
[SPEAKER_09]: That happens to be the U.S. S. Gerald Ford.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, Carrier Group, by the way, is minimum of 70 to 10 ships, including an aircraft carrier, support ships, other ships, including, like, I was on the USS Lake Champlain, CG, got a missile cruiser, that kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, seven, minimum, seven, 10, sometimes it's a big, like, 20, something, whatever.
[SPEAKER_09]: They move the carrier group from Middle East, or Venezuela.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, we didn't have a carrier group in the Middle East.
[SPEAKER_06]: Are they moving people back there?
[SPEAKER_09]: Now they're taking the carrier group from the Indo-Pacific.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've got a story on that in the news on Tap today as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, so there, by the end of far.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I mean, relatively speaking, it's about 10 days, so it's not that far, but what is one of the big dangers going on right now, Taiwan?
[SPEAKER_09]: That's why we want to have a carrier group there.
[SPEAKER_09]: In case China decides, unless, of course, you know, Donnie has made a deal with she and Putin and says, you take care of this corner of the world and you take care of that corner of the world.
[SPEAKER_06]: Wasn't that his plan?
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, that is one of the hallmarks of Neil Imperialism.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's how we used to do things before we had two world wars and killed over a hundred billion people.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the fact of the matter is they have to move these character groups around because we, the world's largest military, still does not have enough.
[SPEAKER_09]: We cannot be in all places everywhere at the same time.
[SPEAKER_09]: And in the same way, they cannot have a massive overwhelming force of ICE and DHS everywhere.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're trying to make it a pure that way.
[SPEAKER_09]: because they know that the twin cities have about 1,200 officers between Minneapolis and St. Paul and they've flooded in over 3,000.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look at us, we're a big and strong.
[SPEAKER_09]: They tried that in LA or New York City, they wouldn't have been able to.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, no.
[SPEAKER_09]: Which is why they're going to smaller towns in Maine.
[SPEAKER_09]: So they could say, see, we're going to a city.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a city.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, in Maine.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think Donald is mad at Susan Collins.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if that's part of it, too.
[SPEAKER_06]: But they're looking for my way when it's Susan Collins.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're looking for a place where they can get a win.
[SPEAKER_06]: Why don't I go to Rhode Island?
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, they're...
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a tiny little state.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because there's lots of other towns that are close.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'll keep talking about that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not as cold right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: We got the drink of the day coming up.
[SPEAKER_09]: We do have Karen from True Blue Politics coming in as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: And yes, there is plenty more news on tap.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'll draw you a couple rounds and get to that drink of the day coming up next.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.

[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's how he ever says.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, you know, mostly he occasionally will say other things.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hello, but for the most part, that's, you know, it's just the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_09]: We thank you, by the way, if you are listening to politics bar and we thank you even more if you are subscribed at thepoliticsbar.com, $6 a month, it gets you the podcast ad-free, you can listen to it at your leisure, you can listen to it anytime you want, tell you, listen to it twice speed if you want, that's fine.

[SPEAKER_09]: Anyway, this is fine, anyway.
[SPEAKER_09]: you get the drink of the day you get the recipe and of course you get the news on tab check it all out to the politics bar.com look people do weird things here the bar I you know as long as you keep your clothes on for the most part I'm fine just sure it wasn't Christopher.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, he's sleeping right next to me on the floor.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's Christopher the pup is very good.
[SPEAKER_09]: He is learning about where and when and how to poo and pee.
[SPEAKER_09]: But sometimes he still gets a little anxious.
[SPEAKER_09]: He has a little anxiety about going out.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he's like, wait a minute, wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're trying to grab me to put on the harness in the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, and so you go to try to reach for him.
[SPEAKER_06]: And he's like, Wow, my niece is dog.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, since she dropped him off, I have yet to take the harness off of him because he's cries when you take it off.
[SPEAKER_06]: He cries when you put it on.
[SPEAKER_08]: He knows.
[SPEAKER_06]: And he, it's just much easier to just go.
[SPEAKER_06]: You can sleep with this on.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, and look, and that, that's, that's what he's doing here.
[SPEAKER_09]: In fact, he's he is Saturday.
[SPEAKER_06]: And Eno is almost 16.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, okay, does Eno snore?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: So does Christopher.
[SPEAKER_09]: I am surprised.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's I mean, it's He goes it's more like a I mean, it's it's almost like as loud as he is as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: Our wife.
[SPEAKER_09]: She does normal.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh no, I snore.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, well now the mouthguard.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if I still snore, but I'm I'm not sleeping
[SPEAKER_06]: uh, in the same room is Lonnie right now because the cat you got you know they're in the cats and so I'm in a different completely different building at this point um right so but and it's it's only because I used to sleep in the house with you know but the little pull out bed that we have as comfortable as it is and it is um I mean it's really nice we have a little tempered kind of mattress that goes on it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Nice, so it's very comfortable, but because he glues himself to me and it's a twin It's hard to move around whereas if I'm in at least a double I can start in the middle of the bed if you're in the guest house It's you got a little more.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I can start in the middle of the bed and if he moves me at least I have more room
[SPEAKER_09]: look we do all kinds of things because we care about our animals and this is great there are however people who do not care about animals or people or any christian home comes to my
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: In fact, Secretary of State Benson said today, she said she just got a new puppy and Stephanie goes to keep her away from Christina.
[SPEAKER_09]: I heard that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was like, yeah, well, look.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, there are people in history.
[SPEAKER_09]: You mentioned this earlier today.
[SPEAKER_09]: There are people in history who are just freaking evil.
[SPEAKER_06]: She is.
[SPEAKER_06]: Christy, know him is.
[SPEAKER_09]: Christy, know him is.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, uh, uh, P. We German.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_06]: Did you see Tim Russ posted a picture of P. We German.
[SPEAKER_06]: And like, yeah, I saw it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I saw it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I want to go with like a freshman in the high school.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was 94 or four year William Schatter to come back and helm all in whatever.
[SPEAKER_09]: Anyway, that's.
[SPEAKER_06]: By the way, William Schatter and anything Star Trek stood for.
[SPEAKER_06]: Doesn't, he doesn't stand for any of that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I mean, yeah, it's, it's look Star Trek is very well.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you don't know, check out Trek Politics with Bob Deskiff.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, but stars and stripes can't be woke anymore.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'll get into that too, but I want to get into the drink of the day because it's it's a it's a good drink It is a terribly good drink, but it's but it's also about a terribly nutty person.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, not an awful man
[SPEAKER_09]: What is the drink of the day and I like the name of it?
[SPEAKER_09]: It should have been called a Essie Russian, but whatever Then you wouldn't have the drink.
[SPEAKER_06]: So well, I could have still had the drink.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're just been a little more risky It's called a nutty Russian and it's inspired by the crowning of Ivanovasilivic
[SPEAKER_06]: more commonly known as Ivan the Terrible, and he was crowned January 16th, 1547, basically took the crown.
[SPEAKER_06]: He didn't, he didn't earn it.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, no, while he was, it was given to me.
[SPEAKER_06]: He didn't earn it, though.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I mean, well, look.
[SPEAKER_09]: So Ivan Vasilyevich was the son of the previous ruler of Moscow, and Russia wasn't Russia then.
[SPEAKER_09]: But his dad was, then his dad died when he was three.
[SPEAKER_09]: So then he got to be the ruler, but basically the people who were ruling for him were his group of people around him.
[SPEAKER_09]: And they ruled him with the adults.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, and that was the first term.
[SPEAKER_09]: Second term would be like when he took over.
[SPEAKER_09]: When he was 16, I believe it was on this date, January 16, 1547.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's when Ivan the Terrible became Zarr Ivan.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that in their rules gave a whole bunch of stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: You should definitely read the history.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was awful.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was an incredible bit.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now he did, you know, there are things like, for example, he had St.
[SPEAKER_09]: Basil's Cathedral built.
[SPEAKER_09]: After he took over the connights of Kazan and Osterconn, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: beautiful and he had the printing presses and I mean there were some things that he did work is so high Hitler did the Autobahn thank you the trains ran on time in Italy I mean Klan however one of the things that he did that was awful he brought Ivan Terrible
[SPEAKER_09]: The SS, the early Russian version of the Russian Master.
[SPEAKER_09]: Judges Wright.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, look, uh,
[SPEAKER_09]: The Oberts Nikki did the massacre of Novograd up to 15,000 people were murdered with extreme violent cruelty.
[SPEAKER_09]: That period has also included the Crimean Wars and the burning of Moscow up to a death of maybe up to 120,000 people, but here's the thing that you should know about Ivan the Terrible.
[SPEAKER_09]: Guess who thinks Ivan the Terrible is great.
[SPEAKER_09]: Don't we don't know I'm sorry, you sure no, it's it's it's his boss actually.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, okay What's the final lesson to them?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes Vladimir Putin has been trying to rehabilitate the the history Well, yeah, you want to take over Europe well Here's some comparisons Vladimir Putin
[SPEAKER_09]: likes Russia, and he wants Russia, the USSR as he thinks of it, big version of Russia, the very first person to put most of that together was Ivan the Terrible.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Ivan the Terrible also had a big war and got pome, got host from Crimea, one of the many reasons that Vladimir Putin wants to hold Crimea.
[SPEAKER_09]: But that's how much of a grudge Vladimir Putin holds.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's that old, isn't he?
[SPEAKER_09]: Ha ha ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'll just give that one to you, Jody.
[SPEAKER_09]: He might be, or at least his mindset is that old, which also shows he can be beaten.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, he can't, and we've got Zelensky too.
[SPEAKER_09]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_06]: Praise you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you for Zelensky.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's great.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you're up right now, not us.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, because they're doing fantastic stuff, too.
[SPEAKER_09]: But see, there is some fantastic stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: And the drink, look, the nutty russian is actually a pretty good drink.
[SPEAKER_09]: What is in a nutty russian, Joey?
[SPEAKER_06]: OK, you're going to need an old fashioned glass, a mixing glass, some ice, two ounces of kettle one, or something else if you want to be a russian, the kettle one is better, just letting you know.
[SPEAKER_06]: An ounce of hazelnut liqueur, which is very yummy, an ounce of
[SPEAKER_09]: which will bring up the hazelnut by the way.
[SPEAKER_06]: It will just make it so nice.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's really yummy, stount sounding drink.
[SPEAKER_06]: And garnish is a walnut half, which is a new garnish for us.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, we haven't used it before.
[SPEAKER_06]: So what you do is you stir all the ingredients in a mixing glass with ice, you strain it into an ice filled over flashing glass and you garnish with a walnut half on the rim and it's just, it sounds very yummy.
[SPEAKER_06]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: It sounds like a very good drink have to say, you know, Julie, she thought it sounded pretty good too.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it really does.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, it really sounds just like I would enjoy that one.
[SPEAKER_09]: But do not believe any of the propaganda, Ivan was, in fact, terrible.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it's not a surprise that Vladimir Putin thinks Ivan is great because Vladimir Putin is terrible.
[SPEAKER_06]: So what's like when people go, well, you know, Hitler was a vegan.
[SPEAKER_06]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_09]: And?
[SPEAKER_06]: He was so murdered millions of people not cool and put people in concentration camps and did all these awful things so okay great He liked animals.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah No, he was awful.
[SPEAKER_06]: It mean just because he liked animals.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean Donald doesn't like animals or people so he's even worse
[SPEAKER_09]: Joe, you're right, you almost broke the bell there for her.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sorry, I didn't mean to.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, no, no, it's just you're right all the time.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, which is good.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, if you guys missed any of the drink of the day, you know what to do, subscribe to the politicsbar.com.

[SPEAKER_06]: the other side of the theater and Bob Oden Kirk raises his hand and she had no idea he's who's going to be there and then they go back to the other side of the theater and this lovely woman in a big huge sweatshirt Oscar winner Charlize Theron basically saying my mom cheats at wardle which she does not and then sorry Charlize she didn't see why would you why if you could why would you play
[SPEAKER_06]: right?
[SPEAKER_06]: And so we both, I mean, when I got to meet Mr. Ron, I'm like, yes, she got it in two today.
[SPEAKER_06]: I got it in five.
[SPEAKER_06]: She goes, yeah, I know.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, we're like looking at our phones, which are at least a lot of you, swear to God.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think you're brilliant.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think you're wonderful.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't think there's anything I really seem that I haven't just liked you a, but we had this discussion.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have this discussion.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think the very first day we opened the bar.
[SPEAKER_09]: Carol is right.
[SPEAKER_06]: and she does not she doesn't see the point why play tell Julia tell Jimmy Carol does not cheat at world okay I mean and by the way Charlie's there on is as pretty as you think in person
[SPEAKER_09]: It's one of the most stunningly pretty people life you have this benefit more than I have obviously being in LA But yeah when when you work in the business like you know like we do and you meet people in Entertainment in music in Politics you get to meet some very very attractive people at times You give them these and people who are ugly on the outside and on the inside do sometimes, but you get to meet some extremely attractive people She's always one of those people who
[SPEAKER_09]: I would, Charlie is one of those people who I would kind of like to meet because I think I would love to actually just have a conversation with her because she's incredibly smart.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's funny.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: Like whip ass smart funny, but part of me is afraid of that because I'm like, you would not just want to be staring at her the whole time.
[SPEAKER_09]: Like Charlie's very, very, very soon.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's incredibly like
[SPEAKER_09]: This is what I've heard.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's just a very normal person.
[SPEAKER_09]: She just happens to be car crash beautiful.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, she is.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then and so then the last person that surprised my mom was burn it at Peters.
[SPEAKER_06]: And she came out.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, there was one other special guest who couldn't be there, but did a video presentation and that would be Michelle Obama.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, no, but she just did her podcast she did and she was her I mean had she been there I mean the security would have been even
[SPEAKER_09]: They weren't the same on one of those.
[SPEAKER_09]: Your mom would have immediately known there were some, so I don't know.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, there was no way to surprise her if there was like single service there.
[SPEAKER_09]: Speaking of whist mart, hello, Carol.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, she would have been like, what is it with the security?
[SPEAKER_06]: So Mrs. Obama did, it was lovely and everybody was like, yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: But then Bernadette Peters came out to sing.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm so glad.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it was cute because she sang the whole song.
[SPEAKER_06]: Wow and when she walked out I saw that she had a piece of paper and I didn't say it to Lonnie.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm like she's singing the whole song because she doesn't know The second verse or the bridge Not by heart.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean she knew the medley the medley mellety But she didn't know the lyric and I'm like mowling the lyrics
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, you've only heard it like a bajillion.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I mean, mom only sang the full song.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, but in ten times, how many times have you edited?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, and still in times.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I'm not.
[SPEAKER_06]: But my dad also wrote this on, but the thing is, she only sang it 11 times.
[SPEAKER_06]: She only sang it at the end of each season, the entire song.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, but, but you, I knew this that you've edited this and your dad wrote it and it's like, you know, it's like, it's like somebody who is a big fan of all the Apple ads and it's like, oh, you know, well, they only ran the 1984 one once nearly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, but I've seen it five thousand times.
[SPEAKER_09]: So yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I mean, I just, it's, it's, my mom knows the song, obviously.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know the song, maybe my little sister, and maybe my big sister Kathleen.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I know it, I just, I listen to it, I know it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And, and Bernadette, out of the ballpark.
[SPEAKER_06]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_06]: Because it's Bernadette Peters.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it was just, it was lovely, because when I got done, my mom was still going, what is going on?
[SPEAKER_09]: because everybody freaking loves you, Carol.
[SPEAKER_06]: We, Jane Lynch also was there.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, it was just a whole, it was just really, it was, it was very sweet as Lonnie pointed out.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was very sweet for Abe and, and, and, and, and, Kristen to, allow to kind of be a tribute to my mom.
[SPEAKER_09]: That is, look, um, we obviously, we did the drink of the day last hour.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're talking about Ivan the Terrible and we were talking about Putin the Terrible and we obviously talk about Donnie the Terrible a lot.
[SPEAKER_09]: There were a lot of terrible people and we were talking about several of them but it's nice to see the flip side too and it's nice to see them as
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, this is not something that was done probably by a producer.
[SPEAKER_09]: This was something, I mean, yes, there was probably a producer involved, but this was something that was probably more along the lines of, as your mom has said, more than once, you know, hey, let's do a show.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was done by a bunch of people who, hey, I got this idea for the Q&A for this kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hey, can you call this person?
[SPEAKER_09]: Hey, sure, can you call this person?
[SPEAKER_09]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hey, can you call this person?
[SPEAKER_09]: We do that, whether you're doing that in your youth group or whether you're doing that in your local political group, your group of wine moms, or whether you do it yet.
[SPEAKER_09]: Or whatever.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is something everybody does.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's nice to know that there are people like Bob Odenkirk, like Charlize, who are just, you know, to somebody else that are just people and it was somebody called and said, hey, would you be willing to come do this for Carol?
[SPEAKER_09]: They think I'm sure they didn't call up and go, would you be willing to do this for Miss Carol Burnett?
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, it's very funny because when when Vince Gilligan got up and goes, Miss Burnett, she goes, why are you calling me that?
[SPEAKER_09]: Your mom told me our very first day, she said, call me Carol.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I
[SPEAKER_06]: And we were privileged enough last night to meet people like Racie Horne and her husband and and like I said, Charlize, they're on and Ricky Martin and it was interesting because Josh Lucas I had met him before and as I was walking into the theater, I reintroduced myself because oh hi, it's nice to see you and I said have you seen the finale yet and he says yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I said, a friend of mine said it's a tear jerker.
[SPEAKER_06]: He goes, it is, especially for people that love your mom.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, he goes, I think you're going to need tissue.
[SPEAKER_06]: And he was not wrong.
[SPEAKER_09]: Something you guys could watch this weekend.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'll be watching it too.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was very sweet.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was the song choice was brilliant.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, Paul Murray, I was a great show.
[SPEAKER_09]: I would recommend it even if your mom and Mindy and, you know, and so many great television.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it's but really, you know, there's not as much of that nearly as we would like.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I wouldn't say people to watch it anyway, but obviously because Carol's in, you know, that I would definitely say, hey, what are you, Lady?
[UNKNOWN]: Hello.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look who I'm seeing here, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
[SPEAKER_09]: Hey, look, some of my friends that that were randies, uh, they are freeze and down there in South Florida today literally this morning.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yep, I did speak with her, and of course I talked to her before I say anything to anybody.
[SPEAKER_05]: And so she has given me permission to share that she was head to go into the hospital emergency situation.
[SPEAKER_05]: She was bleeding.
[SPEAKER_05]: They got her in pretty quickly.
[SPEAKER_05]: She was admitted into the ICU.
[SPEAKER_05]: She had lost about a quarter of her blood volume.
[SPEAKER_05]: Good Lord.
[SPEAKER_09]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_05]: They had to give her two transfusions.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: They held her of, it's got two days.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm gonna say she was in there and they did an endoscopy and then they were going to do a colonoscopy because initially they told her that they didn't really, you know, that they didn't see anything on the endoscopy.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: But they said it may be, didn't get back to the doctor or maybe, I don't know, you know, or maybe it was a radiologist or, you know, do they know what caused the,
[SPEAKER_05]: So now she was just the letter her go and they are saying that it's a gastroenteritis, which can cause the symptoms that she was experiencing.
[SPEAKER_05]: So they center home, she's resting, they gave her something for pain and she's
[SPEAKER_05]: very happy to be home and back with the doggy's and so are they not sure like one monday again or they're gonna yeah so i think um uh... they're going to uh... they still want to do a colonoscopy they should just safe side

[SPEAKER_06]: I just have a question to the people that name these things and the endoscopy sounds like it's going in the different end.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, she'll be a frontoscopy if you would think a toposcopy, there you go, a toposcopy and then the colonoscopy should be the endoscopy.
[SPEAKER_09]: Endoscopy.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, because that's the end.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, that's it.

[SPEAKER_09]: Karen is here and we've been talking obviously there's been so much news this week Karen and you and me and Jodie of I mean I know we all try to tackle this stuff everything from obviously the Ice Monsters and the Neural Imperialism of Trump with all of the ridiculousness with the Venezuelan and Greenland but in Iceland
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, but here check this one.
[SPEAKER_09]: We love good polls.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have a couple of them today in the third round of the news on tap under the many failures of Trump land and Trumponomics is failing New polls to CNN poll shows 61% of Americans disparate disapprove the way Trump is handling the economy.
[SPEAKER_09]: Not only that the full version that CNN poll finds in majority of Americans think Trump's
[SPEAKER_09]: first year back in office is a failure literally on every single level.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, what it's, it is, uh, well, here.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's let Harry in talk about her second.
[SPEAKER_00]: or a failure.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, back in April of 2024, when it came to term number one, the majority of Americans said that Donald Trump's first term in office was a success, 55%, that's a big reason why he was able to get a second term in office.
[SPEAKER_00]: They looked back finally upon his first term in office.
[SPEAKER_00]: But now come to this side of the screen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, after term two year one, how do Americans view it?
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at that.
[SPEAKER_00]: A failure, fail, fail, fail, fail, 58%, just 42% say it as success.
[SPEAKER_00]: These numbers look a lot more like what it did about six months in the Trump's term.
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one, then it did look back upon the entirety of Trump's term number one, which, of course, gave them that second term in office.
[SPEAKER_00]: The clear majority, 58%, nearly three and five Americans say it is a failure.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Goodness gracious.
[SPEAKER_06]: Harry.
[SPEAKER_05]: Poor Danny.
[SPEAKER_05]: But I literally though, I'm like, okay, why is it still only 60%?
[SPEAKER_05]: I know, I mean, that's me and I know I'm being greedy.
[SPEAKER_05]: I know I'm being greedy.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, you're being smart.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's not that you're being greedy, but you forget a couple of things.
[SPEAKER_09]: First of all, that a lot of people, they're a lot of people, especially on their side.
[SPEAKER_09]: Trump said the tone.
[SPEAKER_09]: And actually in this particular thing, White Cohen said the tone for Trump.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, he did.
[SPEAKER_09]: And one of the things they said is never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever admit you were wrong.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's right, which says you're weak, yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: That is a very weak thing.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is absolutely wrong, but you know, you have mentally you come in here and said when you're wrong, I've said it's just you happen to get a lot more of these that you do these.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I mean, when I'm wrong, I'm like, wow, boy, howdy, when did that happen?
[SPEAKER_09]: Right?
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, you, you called it, you said there were actually four shots.
[SPEAKER_09]: That killed me as good and everybody else said there were three and now today the line by line comes out and guess what Judges right I was wrong.
[SPEAKER_09]: So there's a lot of there.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's what I heard.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's all it was just now you can hear a mouse So you know I can't
[SPEAKER_06]: It's been it's been scientifically proven that I can hear this week as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, look here's here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've always thought that it's better if you're wrong to admit that you're wrong.
[SPEAKER_09]: And yeah, I don't I think that that's a minority opinion.
[SPEAKER_09]: Especially because of the the maggots who you know have been taught never admit you're wrong.
[SPEAKER_09]: But there's also a lot of people in a lot of ways.
[SPEAKER_09]: I have found out who are afraid.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're afraid of everything.
[SPEAKER_09]: They have anxiety about everything.
[SPEAKER_05]: And they just think there are no flakes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And there are corporations.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, oh, this might happen.
[SPEAKER_09]: We talked about this even earlier tonight.
[SPEAKER_09]: We talked about this on the regular.
[SPEAKER_09]: But Joe, do you want to talk about this early tonight?
[SPEAKER_09]: The Nemo or thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: First they came for.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: We are way into that all right.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to have to go through that poem right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: They have come for corporations and universities and major law firms and huge businesses, huge movie and TV businesses, the whole Paramount WBD Netflix thing going on.
[SPEAKER_08]: Higher education, right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Look, they've come for so, so the idea of if I just sit here and stay quiet.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're gonna come for everybody.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: So the idea that you need to
[SPEAKER_09]: never complying advance, never, never complying advance.
[SPEAKER_09]: Always check your stuff and stop.
[SPEAKER_09]: You should really stop being afraid because here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hey, there are more of us.
[SPEAKER_09]: Good people, far more of us.
[SPEAKER_09]: Even about the economy, if you look at the polls that we have in the news on Tap today, if you look at it at so many of these things,
[SPEAKER_09]: Jamal Bowie fantastic writer he has a regular piece that he puts in New York Times but he's invent a lot of places and he wrote a good thread and we put that in the news on tap today as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: because I think it's important for people to understand.
[SPEAKER_09]: Trump is not as strong as many people think he is.
[SPEAKER_05]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, and if you stand up to him, look at what ABC ABC.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: And Jimmy Kimmel's ratings are up and continuing to be up.
[SPEAKER_08]: And they're continuing to punch him.
[SPEAKER_08]: Colbert now that he has nothing to lose.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you know what they could go back and they could renegotiate and keep Colbert if he wanted to.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I mean, they could cancel him right now.
[SPEAKER_06]: It just have to pay him out.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, they can't cancel him and say, hey, okay,
[SPEAKER_08]: and we keep you after next May.
[SPEAKER_06]: Barry Weiss might just do well.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's not in control of that department, but still.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, no, no, we actually had something about Barry Weiss today because that was, so if you go down to the media matter section in the fifth round today, first of all, CBS News claim and I use news and quotes there.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're claim of that the ice agent had internal bleeding.
[SPEAKER_09]: Actually, there were a lot of concern from the journals with integrity.
[SPEAKER_09]: And if you look at the New York Times video clip, I know, Karen's like a gag right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you look at the New York Times video clip, we talked about an hour one, it proves he didn't get hit.
[SPEAKER_09]: So there was a good read.
[SPEAKER_09]: There were tons of good reasons not to run with that after a week, suddenly, oh, we had internal bleeding.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, Anita was right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Internal bleeding and she's in the hospital literally a couple of days.
[SPEAKER_05]: So, and you know what, there's a medical report that can show that.
[SPEAKER_05]: There is no medical report of any injury to this guy, nor was there any report ever released a dollar from smaticle.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_05]: As a report.
[SPEAKER_05]: As a result.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: The ear thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: It may be noted earlier today on Blue Sky, Jonathan Ross, the ice thug, who murdered Renee Good, was not taken to the hospital, according to police reports at the time, he was taken to the federal building, and those reports state he was not injured at that time.
[SPEAKER_06]: the media.
[SPEAKER_06]: There would have been a press conference out there's a hospital.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly because they do not waste an attempt to make something like that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: So look, we understand that people and look.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're threatening right now stars and stripes mentioned that at the top of the show today, Jodi, the Trump regime and Pete Cadebrath, they're announcing that they're going to try to turn the independent military news out at stars and stripes, by the way, they can't.
[SPEAKER_09]: By congressional mandate, how stars and stripes is funded?
[SPEAKER_09]: They can't turn it into a propaganda mouthpiece.
[SPEAKER_05]: They've already got a vaccination, what the hell do they want?
[SPEAKER_05]: They see stars and stripes as read by our service people.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, but so it people around the world, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: It's, but vaccination is offered free of charge.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Military.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's always on.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Which anywhere that I go, I attended, you know, oops, I'm sorry, the TV, the plug fell off the wall, I don't know what the hell happens.
[SPEAKER_09]: Sorry about that.
[SPEAKER_09]: You said my one of my friends used to have an app that you could get on your phone and you could search through you'd go when it would search what the TV signals were.
[SPEAKER_09]: And if you had a little thing it could plug into it what he did.
[SPEAKER_06]: Then you plug in the phone and search the signal and I want to do that at airports.
[SPEAKER_09]: He used to do whatever it went.
[SPEAKER_09]: He'd go in and especially if he was familiar with the TV he'd go in and he'd block Fox.
[SPEAKER_09]: Then you walk away.
[SPEAKER_06]: And so I want to go to that.
[SPEAKER_09]: My friend is very, he's right now, he's very smart now.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, but anyway, the point is, he would do that and he wouldn't be afraid.
[SPEAKER_09]: People do not need to be afraid.
[SPEAKER_09]: This, as, as Jamal Bowie goes through this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Donald Trump is strong in certain areas.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, there, there are areas where Trump
[SPEAKER_09]: has an ability to be strong like places like where he has what a buoy calls freedom of action immigration enforcement form policy how the executive branch conducts itself, but there are a lot of plant places where Trump has relatively limited freedom of action and where the points of opposition have been really strong.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, I can't remember who else said this, but somebody else stood up and said this and said, look, in the wake of a reconstruction, when that fell apart, um, and when the civil rights era came about.
[SPEAKER_09]: The thing that made the difference in the two of these was the weak people in the middle who were afraid of something that hadn't happened yet.
[SPEAKER_09]: And the weak businesses in the middle who, oh, I'm afraid it's not gonna happen and especially because they were weak and they had privilege.
[SPEAKER_09]: And when they finally stood up and said, enough of this racist bull crap, that's when we got the civil rights era.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's when we got the civil rights acts.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's when we got these things.
[SPEAKER_09]: As when the people there said, enough of this racist bull crap.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's not because of the good people like us who've been fighting the whole time.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's because the people in the middle who I'm afraid, and I don't want to lose my position.
[SPEAKER_09]: But here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: The monsters always come for you.
[SPEAKER_09]: So if you're afraid that you're going to lose something, congratulations.
[SPEAKER_09]: The only way to keep it is to stand in fight.
[SPEAKER_05]: We have to stand shoulder to shoulder.
[SPEAKER_05]: We have to protect each other.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's companies.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're targeting.
[SPEAKER_09]: Your kid works for Target, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I worked for Target before.
[SPEAKER_09]: Actually, you know, the shirt is from when I worked for Target last anyway.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, no, but I mean, it really so, you know, my love affair with Target pretty much was, you know, over with the doing away with DEI, yeah, my kid works for them.
[SPEAKER_05]: I absolutely, I was a member of Target, you know, I, they, they were my go to place, you know, because it was so convenient, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: You get everything.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I wasn't happy about the LGBTQIA merch that they, you know, move to the back of the store and see now our targets never did move them.
[SPEAKER_05]: They were always where they were.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I was like, all right, you know, I mean, it seems like they're the franchise.
[SPEAKER_05]: A little bit of independence, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: So, um, so that's how I got kind of like, okay, I can move past that.
[SPEAKER_05]: But, um, when they did the DEI thing and everybody around them and they are just capitulating and bending the knee to this guy.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I was just, I called him up the night I heard it.
[SPEAKER_05]: I canceled my membership.
[SPEAKER_05]: I told them why.
[SPEAKER_05]: And now here we are and the video tape of those two target team members being abducted.
[SPEAKER_05]: It was a week, yep, being abducted by ICE, 17 year old taken into custody in custody of ICE.
[SPEAKER_05]: He was brutalized.
[SPEAKER_06]: He was inside the like you walk in one door and it was between the first door and the second set of the vestibia.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_05]: and they grabbed him and there was video of him being dropped off out in front of a Walmart three quarters money and when they asked how he was he's are you okay he was in tears you know I'm not okay now if anybody watches that and they don't have a problem with it I mean yes they're both
[SPEAKER_05]: US citizens, but it shouldn't matter.
[SPEAKER_05]: It shouldn't matter.
[SPEAKER_05]: But their bold US citizens and they were abducted without probable cause, because these people are emboldened and think that they can do it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now my opinion here is that target.
[SPEAKER_05]: leadership needs to be out, full-throated, condemning the Trump administration, condemning ICE for this, and issuing a statement about how they are going they vow to make customer security and their security of their employees.
[SPEAKER_05]: a priority by not letting them in the store and not letting them in the parking lot.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: If they do nothing else, they should at least say they could do a very assertive without even hitting at the Trump people without even hitting an ice and they could be very assertive and say nobody comes on our property of our stores or any of our distribution centers and comes after our employees.
[SPEAKER_09]: We protect our employees.
[SPEAKER_09]: We do this kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: One of the reasons that unions exist is because there have been incidents throughout our history here in the United States where there have been workers abused, brutalized for whatever reason.
[SPEAKER_09]: And because the employers did not do their job of taking care of having the responsibility and having the safety of their employees, the union said, look, you're your boss sucks.
[SPEAKER_09]: The guy right W has come, and the way W thank you, I was going for exactly the guy the guy who called Trump a pedophile Protector which congratulations he is and even though Ford said well you got a you got to take a few days off the UAW said F you he's getting full pay and that's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he also thinks the Gulf of me got him like 800 grand So go go go for me on that look if target if you target couldn't do an ad
[SPEAKER_09]: more clear for people who would like to be unionized and work at target, by not saying anything, by sitting there cowering and going, oh, but not on Trump and his people might see something and he might come after us.
[SPEAKER_09]: You do that target, congratulations.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're doing a nice big ad for unions.
[SPEAKER_09]: And if you don't want unions in your place, then take care of your people.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I know because I used to be one of your people more than once.
[SPEAKER_06]: Because don't they sell groceries, I mean.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's lots of places, there's lots of unions that would love to get a nice solid foothold in target.
[SPEAKER_09]: And target being too gutless to stand up and at least say, I'm sorry, but we protect our workers.
[SPEAKER_09]: The damn right, the unions look that going, you know what we've got.
[SPEAKER_06]: We've got to touch it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, we all understand the fear, but we all got to stand up too.
[SPEAKER_09]: So we will talk more about standing up and about the good people who are doing good things.
[SPEAKER_09]: We got more from the news on tap, and of course we have the one and only.
[SPEAKER_09]: Karen Burn here from short blue politics on a Friday night.
[SPEAKER_09]: You got Jody, you got Karen, you got me.
[SPEAKER_09]: The freshness of Drake could come right back.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_09]: The last call on a Friday night, last call to the week, you can be dancing, you can be playing music, you can be doing anything you need to be doing, but if you missed any of the show, because you were doing some of those other things, don't worry about them.
[SPEAKER_09]: And we got your back.
[SPEAKER_09]: We take care of you, even if your employer doesn't necessarily, Jodie is playing the Mox saxophone and it keeps.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm doing drumming.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm doing drumming.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm doing drumming.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right, so we're talking about people who need to be standing up and being strong and not being afraid, and I honestly, I'm I'm very glad that we do have some good leaders out there, I have to say I'm I am I'm pissed at your governor, Jody again, but I know
[SPEAKER_05]: What happened, Ben Shapiro.
[SPEAKER_09]: He had Ben Shapiro on and he was, I can't remember what he, but he, he bent the knee.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he said, Oh, it's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: Why?
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't understand.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm like Gavin, dude.
[SPEAKER_08]: Look, we've seen you on hand.
[SPEAKER_08]: We've seen you.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've seen you throw punches at Donnie.
[SPEAKER_09]: what what we want right now are fighters not folders and congratulations you're inviting a douchebag to your place just like coming here in the bar and then he comes in and says well gavin you shouldn't be that strong against fascism and gavin goes okay i suppose because let me go for your pillows exactly that is the
[SPEAKER_09]: long idea.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I mean, I ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's there's a few things where I go seriously governor, what do you think?
[SPEAKER_06]: First off, the billionaire tax that we want to impose on 200 people in the state, 200.
[SPEAKER_06]: Just 200 and California is how many people have we million and they're worried that these two because they do pay $1.
[SPEAKER_06]: They pay more than I do, obviously, but percentage wise,
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, it's not going to hurt them at all and it's going to be like a 2% tax and it will be a progressive thing and they're all like Silicon Valley in particular Because Hollywood not so much Silicon Valley in particular is like oh, we're going to leave
[SPEAKER_06]: fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hi.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_08]: And in Massachusetts, they have raised the taxes.
[SPEAKER_08]: And you know what?
[SPEAKER_08]: Nobody will have moved in the Massachusetts.
[SPEAKER_08]: And they are making more money in Massachusetts.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know why?
[SPEAKER_06]: Because schools can better things get better.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And people threaten it here, too.
[SPEAKER_05]: And we have fought.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_05]: All the bluff and they don't go.
[SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Illinois is a Los Angeles.
[SPEAKER_05]: Also.
[SPEAKER_09]: And one of the reason L.A. is a good clue.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've had Mayor Bassin here.
[SPEAKER_09]: In fact, you guys, if you missed the Mayor Bassin, or if you can watch that on our YouTube page, but I've, somebody I'd love to get in here into the bar because he would be great here.
[SPEAKER_09]: JB Pritzker.
[SPEAKER_09]: He actually, yeah, yeah, I would too.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was talking to the Midas touch folks earlier today about who should be protecting you and standing up for you and how you should not be afraid here.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let me roll
[SPEAKER_01]: as long as you maintain the peaceful part of the peaceful protest, it is hugely beneficial.
[SPEAKER_01]: It does not give them an excuse to bring in troops.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're out there loud, blowing your whistles, walking on the sidewalk and videoing, very important, everybody pull out your phones because it's allowing us to keep them accountable.
[SPEAKER_01]: We took them to court here.
[SPEAKER_01]: and one over and over again as a result of the evidence that we were able to put together.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's it's awful what's happening right now, and of course, you know, just to remind you that the feds are supposed to be fighting to protect your civil rights, not to take them away.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the insurrection act is designed only for circumstances where
[SPEAKER_01]: your rights can't be protected by, you know, local authorities or by whatever federal authorities are already there.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then only then can federal troops be brought in to protect your civil rights.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is exactly the opposite.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like they've turned it on their head on its head.
[SPEAKER_01]: And your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they want to call in troops on top of that, not to protect your civil rights, but claiming that they're protecting CBP and ICE and it's just false.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: I got to say it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I got to get him.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, he's great.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's great.
[SPEAKER_09]: I love I like I like I like I like I like Mayer Fry up in Minneapolis.
[SPEAKER_05]: I like Governor walls and I like Keith Ellison.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, they're doing what is necessary and what is within their purview to do.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that, you know, and Governor Milton Maine is already first thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's like, you know what?
[SPEAKER_05]: You want to bring that crap in my house?
[SPEAKER_05]: you we have to be like look it is overwhelming what they're doing up in Minnesota is heartbreaking and they're going after the nicest people in the country by the way it's a minute or so it's a nice thing you know y'all y'all you're listening am i fifty we love you i a family in friends in that area i think i think y'all love Minnesota that is like a bit of my home away from home i love their bears and not the Vikings but that's the only thing
[SPEAKER_05]: But I will prove for the Vikings, but you know, I have a lot of, you know, beloveds up in Minnesota.
[SPEAKER_05]: My son Jimmy went to school up there.
[SPEAKER_05]: He went to the McNally school of music.
[SPEAKER_05]: My former daughter in law, who I adore, she went to Hamlin, you know, and I have a lot of really good friends.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's really awesome.
[SPEAKER_09]: My friend Rubear, yes, that's unique.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's some of the best people, a lot of stuff had that I, you know, made very good friendships with, you know, there's a fantastic place.
[SPEAKER_09]: wonderful place.
[SPEAKER_09]: This whole thing, even nice people can fight.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, and they are.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you make sure everybody needs to stand up against these monsters because they are not as powerful as they say they are.
[SPEAKER_09]: And like we've talked about earlier tonight, they don't have enough people to do the things that they wanted to do.
[SPEAKER_09]: They would love to be able to surge 10,000 ice monsters
[SPEAKER_05]: What would happen if a bunch of Minnesota, you know, grammars and moms came out with hot dishes.
[SPEAKER_05]: And what if they went over there and they, like, offered ice, you know, hot dishes?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, hell, yeah, come on over here.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's what they should do this weekend.
[SPEAKER_09]: They should.
[SPEAKER_09]: There have, there have been reports of them doing that by the way already and some of them are like, they don't know what to do because you don't know what to do.
[SPEAKER_06]: Because they first came on them with kindness.
[SPEAKER_06]: You remember in Portland, in the first Trump debacle,
[SPEAKER_06]: my sister was living up in Portland at the time and she was one of the moms who went up there and was very nice and just like hey we're not doing anything wrong but yeah they were doing that and my sister was one of those people it's like moms against brutality basically and now she's in Palm Springs doing the same because Palm Springs is a red
[SPEAKER_06]: part of California.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's super wealthy, like stupid wealthy, Republican area of, but a lot of people in Palm Springs are also gay.
[SPEAKER_06]: And so they're very much going to wait what?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I mean, I'm going out there this next weekend.
[SPEAKER_06]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_06]: To see Mr. Bob Mackie be honored.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yay.
[SPEAKER_09]: Very cool.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's a lovely town, but my sister now is part of that.
[SPEAKER_09]: There are a lot of ways to fight the monsters.
[SPEAKER_09]: But one of the ways among other things is the knowledge.
[SPEAKER_09]: But what Governor Pritzker was there saying, anti-crag election law expert may have seen him out on socials and stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: He posted earlier today, he said, you guys got to remember the Interaction Act is not martial law.
[SPEAKER_09]: It does not displace civilian law.
[SPEAKER_09]: It doesn't suspend habeas corpus.
[SPEAKER_09]: It doesn't alter or suspend state or local government laws.
[SPEAKER_09]: It doesn't even suspend federal laws for the most part.
[SPEAKER_09]: It doesn't make anything newly legal, it allows using the military to enforce existing law, exactly what Governor Pritzker said.
[SPEAKER_09]: So it doesn't do what the maggots and the ice monsters.
[SPEAKER_06]: Or what Donald thinks.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Because he spells martial law with the wrong.
[SPEAKER_08]: Like, God, he does.
[SPEAKER_05]: Does he spell like Marshall and Mayor S.H.A.
[SPEAKER_05]: L.L.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, yes, yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he's spelled it that way.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I believe somebody corrected him.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I saw him type it once as mayor of the law.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm like, no.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, he just feels very bad at mayor of the law.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, yes, Jody is correct.
[SPEAKER_09]: Again, usual.
[SPEAKER_09]: So Jody's right most of the time, we just accept.
[SPEAKER_06]: Has any had affairs on all of his brides?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, all three.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the idea is not like his power.
[SPEAKER_09]: and knowledge helps you not be afraid.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's one of the reasons we put the news on tap together for you guys.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's one of the reasons why you should make sure that you're informed.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can literally read, even though it's been a busy week in the news on tap, right, Jody?
[SPEAKER_09]: How many, how many do we normally do and what do we do this for?
[SPEAKER_06]: 30 on average.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: And we only talk about, you know, a handful on the show, but there's 30 that people can read up on.
[SPEAKER_06]: We touch on them all, but we just talk about maybe 15 tops.
[SPEAKER_09]: right exactly and so there's a lot out there's like you know why do it about forty five stories this week because there's been that much more news out yeah but you know you could still scroll through it on your phone in under two minutes you just look at the headlines if you don't want to read any of this stuff you just scroll through it you will be more informed than if you have sat there and had cable quote unquote news on for six hours guarantee two minutes versus six hours i get it normally you'd
[SPEAKER_05]: You say, but can I just say though?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, it's been a heavy heavy news week and everything, but you know, can we talk about what's really important and that is that Jody was hanging out with Ricky Martin.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, I was Charlize, which is great.
[SPEAKER_09]: Although I still we said this earlier Charlize.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: The Carol doesn't cheat.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's just better attitude.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's really good at the world.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's good at the world.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, Mr. Martin, by the way, was so sweet, gave me a hug, which was like, hi, and I, you know, handshake, it was not only gave me a hug, and I forget the actor that plays Allison Janney's love interest, and I forget his name, but he was also very beautifully nice, because he was standing with Mr. Martin.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then I said, can I introduce you to my husband because he was on his music, and I'm like,
[SPEAKER_06]: Come here and Lonnie's trying to get through the crowd and and and so they start talking and I I see somebody else comes up and immediately says the politics Yes, that's all he ever said to him.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know as the politics bar And then Ricky Martin said yes and he goes the politics bar and oh, okay, and then Ricky said, oh, yes The politics bar.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_06]: So with that was a conversation Lonnie is grew basically
[SPEAKER_06]: But what was interesting about Mr. Martin was how shy he was.
[SPEAKER_07]: Really?
[SPEAKER_06]: Isn't it something?
[SPEAKER_06]: It's something.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, even on the day, when he was, he was like looking at somebody else and they're like, Ricky Martin, we have a question for you, and he was, oh, oh, you know.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it was like, he was just kind of trying to be as small as he could be in his chair.
[SPEAKER_06]: And he was just, and it's like he's Ricky Martin.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, he's been a big star since he was a little kid.
[SPEAKER_09]: But this has things that it's it's fun sometimes, especially for the folks who are regulars here at the bar You guys know I mean you know we call Carol Carol we you know we we have in big stars and and They everybody is somebody to somebody and to a lot of people even if there's somebody did a lot of people They're nobody to some folks, but I had I known Karen that he is your you know
