[SPEAKER_18]: It's political, thinking, ridicule.
[SPEAKER_12]: You think it's a part of where we were, the politics part.
[SPEAKER_18]: Shot Smith and Harrison, Jody Hamilton.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hello, Jodie!
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, Sean.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is a two for Tuesday and we got two great guests coming in today.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm, I'm, I'm geeked up.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm geeked up because, look, there's a lot going on sports wise in the world, a lot of sports ball and other sports things, but there's also a lot going on in the world of politics.
[SPEAKER_09]: And we happen to have the two best people to come in and talk about those kind of things.
[SPEAKER_09]: Charlie Pierce and Jared Risey.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I'm, I'm geeked up about it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know this year your last show of the day you've been doing 4,382 shows today, so how long are they than I know, but you're back is still hurting.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes it is.
[SPEAKER_09]: How are you feeling?
[SPEAKER_05]: It's better, but it's still like if I move a certain way it just goes, oh no, don't do that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Or if you breathe.
[SPEAKER_05]: Or if I breathe, I mean if I stop breathing it will be fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, you know, last my mother used to say if it hurts, we need to do that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Then well, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm just saying, I mean, that is what she used to say all the time of her.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's when you do that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Stop doing that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's an important lesson.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think that some people on Capitol Hill could be learning.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'll talk about that today with Charlie and Jared.
[SPEAKER_09]: Big thanks by the way to everybody who is joining us from all of our great radio affiliates.
[SPEAKER_09]: Whether you are joining us from the city's Minneapolis, say Paul's A.M. Nine.
[SPEAKER_09]: 50 or maybe you are listening to the Tri-City's area of Tennessee on D2 or talk radio, maybe you were in Atlanta listening on Georgia now or maybe you are listening on M820 Chicago WCPT or unprogressive voices radio or a wide wherever you happen to be or maybe you're one of those future people.
[SPEAKER_09]: In which case you could send a note back to Jodi being like don't step there because that way it won't you then you want her to back.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_05]: I was fine on Friday morning.
[SPEAKER_05]: Get in the car to drive to Stephanie's.
[SPEAKER_05]: I get to Stephanie's and all of a sudden my back hurts.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm just saying those future people are slacking a little bit, y'all.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean we love you, but you know, maybe it's just some of the people who are subscribed on their podcast player, which we love them too, but you know, if you're subscribed to the politicsbar.com, we love you even more, because then it's kind of like you're giving us a tip.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was six dollars a month.
[SPEAKER_09]: Get to the podcast, add free, get you the drink of the day with the recipe, and it gets you the news on tap for free.
[SPEAKER_09]: So we highly recommend it, especially if you like what we do, or you know, generally if you
[SPEAKER_09]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right, Jody.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is a busy news day.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know you've been back and forth through and all kinds of stuff today.
[SPEAKER_09]: There is a couple of Olympic updates by the way.
[SPEAKER_09]: There is a last minute update or few updates with the Savannah Guthrie thing as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: They've released video and pictures now, although,
[SPEAKER_09]: you know it is a little bit later in the day i know earlier this afternoon you finished recording the podcast with bob seska who will be here tomorrow and and and david and i just figured that look you know ten minutes after you stop recording i figured they be like we've announced it we know who who who you know where where's the man is mom is because that's usually how that works so
[SPEAKER_09]: didn't work.
[SPEAKER_05]: So far so good so far we don't know I mean and and what I read what cash patrol said is that I guess the person that broke in did get rid of all of their recording stuff so they had to get it from the cloud or somewhere.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, that's that's the thing that a lot of security people have been saying is is that those a lot of those camera systems ring and other cameras are not exactly
[SPEAKER_09]: honest about you know where they keep all the recordings and how long they're there and how they can be accessed well I know it's with because we have blink and we control whether we delete something or not but it's it's just in general it's it's a data thing it's something is out there and it's but I'm I'm for whatever is it they at least at this point I'm glad and hopefully they will find something so
[SPEAKER_09]: uh... some better news actually uh... from idly uh... the u.s her wing team when this one silver they they were going against the day they beat the defending champs the italians uh... yesterday but you know nice silver uh... nice couple actually from deluth
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not sure if my friend Dixon knows them or not, but Cory and Cory, TC and Drupkin got the silver in that.
[SPEAKER_09]: And depending on when you're listening, the US women are woping up on the Canadian women right now in hockey and the Canadian women are without their captain tonight because that's not enough.
[SPEAKER_09]: it's it's good for us it should be okay though that's the question I think she'll be okay but I just think it's it's she's injured enough that she's not playing well I don't think it's it's it's it's not like it's not like Lindsey Vaughn's injury remember how I said what was it yesterday I said oh it was bad but I said oh it wasn't a compound fracture yeah it was wrong it was I mean she's gonna have to have surgeries
[SPEAKER_09]: at least two if not four surgeries.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, the thing with the Canadian hockey teams since China's taking over, they're not gonna have hockey anymore.
[SPEAKER_09]: You wanna explain that to everybody here in the bar who may have not been like, what the hell, yes, that three guesses folks as to who said that's stupid thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, it was Donald, and he truth-truthed it, I guess last night, he was swooping, and he basically did this long-screen about the bridge between Detroit and Canada that has been under construction for quite a while now, because it started on Obama.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's open, or it's ready to be open.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, it's basically ready.
[SPEAKER_05]: And so he complained that we don't own that they,
[SPEAKER_05]: There's some weird thing about they own the U.S. side, which they wouldn't because that's sovereign territory, we own our own sides.
[SPEAKER_05]: So there's that.
[SPEAKER_05]: And then he, he, he, he went on to talk about how Canada doesn't stock any of our booze anymore.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, that's his fault because of the stupid tariffs.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Which are screwing up the economy.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've got a story on that and he's on that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: And then he said that, well, China's going to come in and take over Canada.
[SPEAKER_05]: And then they will get rid of ice hockey and they will get rid
[SPEAKER_09]: No.
[SPEAKER_05]: The man is not well.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, but also, I mean, first of all, anybody who thinks that you can take hockey away from Canadians?
[SPEAKER_09]: No.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: No.
[SPEAKER_09]: That'd be like taking to me, hose away from Canadians.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: Also, not acceptable.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, I mean, you know, he's just such a little baby.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you're right that he is off his rocker.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's not well.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's not well in the upstairs, but yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, we know you can 80 in folks are the nice thing that we have seen from all kinds of people with the Olympics is that the world is in general sympathetic.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're like, look, we understand it's like your stupid cousin.
[SPEAKER_09]: Grabbed the controls.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, you guys were asleep or something.
[SPEAKER_09]: And at least for a while now, this idiot is driving things.
[SPEAKER_09]: They would like us to, you know, get on with, you know, putting some accountability in order.
[SPEAKER_05]: We need to change some laws probably the constitution to make sure that people outside of this country know that we're serious.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, absolutely, there's going to have to be some real accountability.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I do think that's one of the reasons why there are a number of the Trump people who are sweating bullets today actually we have quite a few of them there in the news collage in the news on tap today in part because of some of the Trump Epstein files and yes we're going to continue calling the Trump Epstein files because so rep raskin.
[SPEAKER_09]: Did like a quick search.
[SPEAKER_09]: I guess last night, too.
[SPEAKER_09]: He says there are about a million occurrences of Donald's name.
[SPEAKER_09]: He did it his quick search now that may be wrong because we know search engines aren't whatever, but in a quick search he said he caught about a million instances of from staying in the three and a half million pages.
[SPEAKER_09]: really.
[SPEAKER_09]: So if you're going, they shouldn't be called the Trump Epstein files.
[SPEAKER_09]: Dude, if your name isn't three and a half million pages a million times, congratulations.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's yours.
[SPEAKER_09]: Don't own it.
[SPEAKER_05]: More than the other guy.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, um, uh, rep massing rep con, I actually were talking to the media here.
[SPEAKER_09]: I believe, uh, yesterday evening, and they found some interesting interesting interesting things too here.
[SPEAKER_14]: But what I saw that bothered me were the names of at least six men that have been redacted that are likely incremented by their inclusion in these files.
[SPEAKER_14]: So that's the first thing that I saw.
[SPEAKER_14]: It took some digging to find them.
[SPEAKER_14]: Then I'll let you talk about what you saw.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, and we discussed that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, there are six men, some of them with their photographs that have been redacted.
[SPEAKER_11]: And there's no explanation why those people were
[SPEAKER_11]: Thomas discovered it through his MIT logic.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's over the searches, but that's really concerning.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, they're, no, go ahead, go ahead.
[SPEAKER_05]: Didn't Thomas Massey say, basically, I'm going to maybe name them on the floor.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: He could.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, remember.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, Mark March threatened to do that back in the day.
[SPEAKER_09]: He absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: He has the ability.
[SPEAKER_09]: He has the names.
[SPEAKER_09]: They have the, they have the information.
[SPEAKER_09]: Remember, they can see it unredacted now.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, there are no redactions like they just said.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're still redactions.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: But there are things that they can do to say without saying, and I'm betting there are some people sweating, including Mr. Nutlett.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, Nutlett, Nick today, who was up on Capitol Hill.
[SPEAKER_09]: And Senator Van Holland, God, this was just so brilliant.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I'll let it from the hearing.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'll let this roll.
[SPEAKER_16]: I think you understand the root of concern here.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's the way you described
[SPEAKER_16]: very emphatically your first encounter with him in his apartment said you were disgusted.
[SPEAKER_16]: We never have any contact with him again.
[SPEAKER_16]: Did you in fact make the visit to Jeffrey Epstein's private island?
[SPEAKER_13]: I did have lunch with him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation.
[SPEAKER_13]: What does my wife was with me as were my four children?
[SPEAKER_05]: he brought his children to a pedophiles island.
[SPEAKER_05]: And by the way, just because he didn't get on the plane that was Jeffrey Epstein's plane, you can't land on that island anywhere.
[SPEAKER_05]: There is no air strip.
[SPEAKER_05]: You have to take, you have to land somewhere else down there and then take a ferry over.
[SPEAKER_05]: So no matter what, just because he wasn't on Epstein's plane doesn't mean anything.
[SPEAKER_09]: But he said he brought his nannies.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, and I think that Epstein was interested in maybe hiring one of them.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, because he had so many children.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm like, you're not doing yourself any favors there, Lutnik.
[SPEAKER_09]: I want to drop my kids to the petify.
[SPEAKER_05]: I drop my kids and their nannies, or nanny, or whatever.
[SPEAKER_09]: But you got to remember, their nannies are also probably young women.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, exactly.
[SPEAKER_05]: And my concern is I want those people to testify now as to what they witnessed and what happened.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: And and and.
[SPEAKER_09]: technically as long as his wife is not imputing him, she can testify to what she saw too.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's all caught he just dug himself a great big gigantic hole.
[SPEAKER_09]: And all he had to do was say, well, you know, I exaggerated when I said that before.
[SPEAKER_09]: Basically, he had to admit that he'd lying, but and who knows what's in the rest of the files where he's not listed yet, but here's the other thing, somebody with the judgment to lie about that with Epstein and then lie on Capitol Hill under oath and then be like, well, I took my kids to a pedophile island.
[SPEAKER_09]: Do you really want somebody with that kind of judgment being the secretary of commerce?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh anybody like that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: What they are dog catcher.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't care.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't want them to charge anything because their judgment is extremely questionable at that point.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, good God.
[SPEAKER_05]: It was a nice lunch.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, with the Pito.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's that's Pito.
[SPEAKER_09]: Not Pito.
[SPEAKER_09]: Pito is a good.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'll we'll we'll we'll something in the pocket there.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right now.
[SPEAKER_05]: Pito is a great.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, boy, there are a lot of stories we've got today in the news on tap in the first round the Trump Epstein files about Reps Kanna and Massey, about how the probe is wrapping up, about how even inside the DOJ secure room some of those Epstein files have remain redacted even though they're not supposed to be.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, legally they are not in front of anybody that has that kind of clearance.
[SPEAKER_09]: which everybody, every member of Congress does, um, and on top of all of this, Julie C. Brown, um, from the Miami, here else who's been on this story for years before anybody else was she noted that Trump told Palm Beach, the Palm Beach Police Chief in 2006.
[SPEAKER_09]: Trump told the Palm Beach police chief that everyone knew about Epstein and the evil Maxwell.
[SPEAKER_09]: What did I say?
[SPEAKER_09]: The problem was that he knew and didn't tell anybody?
[SPEAKER_09]: He knew and he did tell kind of he told the Palm Beach police chief.
[SPEAKER_05]: And he threw Jelaine under the bus because he wanted to protect his buddy.
[SPEAKER_09]: Man, the stuff.
[SPEAKER_05]: Not that she didn't deserve to be thrown under a bus.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: No.
[SPEAKER_09]: 100%.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the fact is that this is, I mean, this is nowhere near.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is just the very tip of the tip of the iceberg.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's going to be a whole lot of people finding accountability.
[SPEAKER_09]: And we're going to have some fun with that.
[SPEAKER_09]: because they deserve it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, we have a whole bunch of great news on tap for you today.
[SPEAKER_09]: We do have the wonderful Charlie Pierce coming in.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have the great Jared Rizzi as well and a great drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_09]: Fresh in your drink and come on back.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a two for Tuesday here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is Tuesday night, and we have one of our favorite journalists who also happens to be a sports rider in the one the only Charlie Pierce Man of many many talents although I still stay you spell your last name wrong, but that's well I know we're gonna fight about that forever I'm perfectly fine about that look.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's it's a friendly rivalry kind of like the US and Canada with the whole man.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was watching I was watching our US women beat those Canadian bitches like a drum
[SPEAKER_04]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I love to hear that to hear you look expert as you can tell.
[SPEAKER_09]: I can tell you obviously.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, they themselves both team say that it is a very competitive rivalry.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was glad we won the silver in curling today.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've got a friend actually who lives up in Duluth.
[SPEAKER_04]: And yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, that was.
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, uh, what was I, what was I going to say, he said, the winner Olympic, I love the winner Olympics because they are, the winner Olympics for where they are, where the true lunatics can go.
[SPEAKER_04]: Good.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, my sword and the summer.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, summer, what's the riskiest thing you do, Paul Paul?
[SPEAKER_04]: And gymnastics can be very good.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I came to ask the extra, the potentially the floor exercises.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, but I mean, every event.
[SPEAKER_04]: at the Winter Olympics.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's dangerous.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a life in that thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: I can't remember who it was that I saw.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was one of the downhill skiing things.
[SPEAKER_09]: And they made 95 miles an hour.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh my God, that's scary.
[SPEAKER_09]: A car.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I mean, 95 on skis, it is super cold.
[SPEAKER_09]: You are way up the mountain.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it is between you and complete wipeout is literally
[SPEAKER_04]: And now they have, they have drones that cover the race, so you can, you can get almost a skier's eye view at the whole thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Which I like that, what I don't like is the fact that they include the sound and they have them on everything, on the loose, on the everything.
[SPEAKER_09]: So you're watching and you heard this, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[SPEAKER_09]: 95 miles a year.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but you know my heart belongs to short-stretched short-stretched.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, they had some of that today, too That's where not we're like if you there are 10 people in the race nine of them can fall down in the last on the last curve And it's the library gets to win the gold medal
[SPEAKER_09]: or one of them can accidentally have a skate cut somebody else and yeah, the skates are long too.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, brutally sharp.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's what I love.
[SPEAKER_09]: I love the Olympics in any way shape or form just because of the fact it is the best people in the world doing their thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: and there's literally a handful of them and they're all there and they're in general even even when they're competitive.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're still in general, they give each other support.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're like, hey, you're good job at that.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's some of the best people in the world competing
[SPEAKER_04]: under the auspices of some of the worst people in the world.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, very true.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, to put some one of the ice skaters, I want to say it was a US person, but I'm not sure she won the gold, but she went and hugged the silver winner, and then she went and hugged she's a figure skater and hugged the bronze.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I'm sure that happens.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: to see that's a lot of a lot of this year we talked about this yesterday here at the bar Charlie where like McKayla Schiffran there's the the other skier guy who was like
[SPEAKER_09]: I know that, you know, there's some things going on in the U.S. right now that a lot of people don't necessarily agree with, you wouldn't more specific than that.
[SPEAKER_04]: And Donald Trump and the maggots come out of the fire should us, and they had incredible between that and bad bunny, the emptiness of the, of the mega culture war has been on.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, hey, I love the fact that they, you can see and you can tell now that they know that they're losing.
[SPEAKER_04]: that they have lost because they do have the stench of looser to them about that they do I mean we were watching the we were I was at my local watching super ball right and there was like incredible enthusiasm for bad bunny and this was among a bunch of patriots fans who were otherwise pissed off right
[SPEAKER_04]: They're like, damn it, why can't we score anything?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, why can't, why don't I running back, move like him?
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, he gained more yardage than the Patriots did in the first half.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, he, yeah, no, no face Charlie, your Patriots did not do so well.
[SPEAKER_04]: We, yeah, yeah, the, the, the shine is off the Jack McDaniel Rose, I think, because boy did he get out schemeed.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, look in any event and the lady that won the Lambrardi.
[SPEAKER_05]: She a lady has a lady owner.
[SPEAKER_09]: How about that?
[SPEAKER_09]: Which hello?
[SPEAKER_09]: That's fantastic to see.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just, I love seeing women be successful.
[SPEAKER_09]: We were talking by the way about the Trump Epstein files and I'm really glad the survivors are they have stuck this out because Holy crap.
[SPEAKER_09]: There are a bunch of people sweating.
[SPEAKER_09]: Do you see a nut lick?
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, Latinx, sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: Do you see him sweating today, Charlie?
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, he's at, he's at Bay at this point.
[SPEAKER_04]: He knows, he knows he's going overboard.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, really, I mean, he's looking around for a lifeboat, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: No, because we, we, we, they need to do something.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, they need to throw somebody out.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right?
[SPEAKER_04]: And he seems like the most likely the obvious twist.
[SPEAKER_09]: Joni, tell Charlie and Casey missed it today.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_09]: What, what he said to Van Holland, which was, what he admitted because this is just,
[SPEAKER_05]: He took his family.
[SPEAKER_05]: He took children to a pedophiles island.
[SPEAKER_05]: Children.
[SPEAKER_05]: You plan, boss.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's actually doing this one.
[SPEAKER_04]: Four of kids.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm just sitting there going, how do you admit that?
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, you're under oath in Congress.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you're like, well, remember you when I said 2005 that it never be in the same room with him?
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, it took my kids to his island, the island.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, by the way, Raskin says that he did kind of a quick search and looks like Trump's name is coming up about a million times in the three and a half million pages, which is why we are now at this bar calling them the Trump Epstein files because I think that's perfectly accurate.
[SPEAKER_04]: I exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: When you have your name in it, that often you're putting it on the cuff.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, I think it would be front pages and what used to be the Washington Post.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, no kidding.
[SPEAKER_09]: God, that whole thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm, I'm, I can agree on the expressions from my previous life at a lot of friends.
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's board department.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm just devastated because it was a great section.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was, and I was a tremendous section.
[SPEAKER_09]: How do you get rid of the the entire sports department and decide not to replace it when you are the major paper.
[SPEAKER_09]: For a city of a reading well, I mean, it's it's a really a region of this area.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: How do you do that?
[SPEAKER_04]: How do you do it when when you've got a city who's absolutely silly about their football team.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Start just to start with.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, football, basketball, baseball.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I don't think anybody's silly about the wizards, but I take your point.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I mean, yet and yet.
[SPEAKER_09]: And yet.
[SPEAKER_09]: When you go and you see, you know, that both the WMBA and the NBA games here, they still have full crowds.
[SPEAKER_04]: And you have, you know, you have a fairly, at least in basketball, you have a fairly and things you have to college audience between Georgetown and Maryland and the rest of the HCC.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_09]: Although although I have to admit Nebraska men's basketball is.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, man, are they good?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm there's a bit there's the best inside passing team I've seen in years.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you I am I am honestly surprised at how good my Husker men's team.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're almost as good as not doing as good as they wanted, but the men's yeah, but they've always got women's volleyball.
[SPEAKER_09]: So yeah, we do where we pretty much dominate everybody on that one.
[SPEAKER_09]: So you know, there's that but
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, no, look, I mean, for a city and a region that is so packed with sports.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And yet, we don't, we don't, we don't need that.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're just going to blow it up because we got the hell, you know?
[SPEAKER_09]: sports in in media sports is always a gimmie sports is especially when it's it's you're trying to get sales so you want to get ad sales and you know you can do different things if you're your metro section or you're adding automotive things or you do this or that to the other whatever but with sports
[SPEAKER_09]: And you know, you could barely hold up a piece of paper and say, Hey, I'd like to have some adver and before you get the word tizing out, people will go, Oh, for sure, I'm all alone.
[SPEAKER_04]: You want to advertise me with a, you know, wash commanders or the nationals or the, you know, and yeah, they'll just sort of people like the people I felt really bad for, where the overseas people who had to pay their own way all, yeah, Jesus.
[SPEAKER_04]: person at the pay the way home from Pakistan, how much can that cost?
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, in the reporter who was in Ukraine in a full zone, sitting in her car, writing on with pencil and paper because her ink pin would have frozen up and she couldn't take her computer outside because of the battery, and she's writing her columns that way.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then she gets a notice on herself thought, oh, by the way, you've been fired.
[SPEAKER_04]: You've been laid off.
[SPEAKER_04]: And good luck.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, maybe we'll see you someday.
[SPEAKER_04]: But good luck.
[SPEAKER_04]: Godspeed.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thanks.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I would buy it.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I'd buy a book and find a nice little house that Macbomb yet.
[SPEAKER_04]: And go live in Ukraine for the rest of your life.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: We just, it was a, it was a Pauling.
[SPEAKER_04]: And, and then the guy quits.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean,
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, and I'm glad he quits, but, you know, I would have preferred he'd been fired.
[SPEAKER_04]: Perfectly for a coward.
[SPEAKER_04]: But, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, he sucked.
[SPEAKER_09]: He sucked.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was a Murdoch higher.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that's why he sucked.
[SPEAKER_04]: I would have preferred he, like, on a bet, touched a coal pole with his tongue and I'd just pay the label.
[SPEAKER_08]: Not even going to buzz you on that one, Charlie, because I don't know anything.
[SPEAKER_04]: So anyway, what next in trouble?
[SPEAKER_04]: We got Pan-Bomb, Pan-Bomb.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's going to be in front of the judiciary community.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like moral.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's Wednesday, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, if you're doing both committees, you're doing one on Wednesday and one on Thursday.
[SPEAKER_09]: I thought you were right.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're doing the Saturday and the House tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: So that's, that's going to be a lot of fun this week.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now, I read an article that said the GOP was told not to ask her about certain things.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have that in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, they were, they were specifically told here.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's see here.
[SPEAKER_09]: I believe that actually happens to be in the, the, the, is it the Trump Epstein thing where they were told not to ask her about the Epstein.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thanks.
[SPEAKER_09]: So is it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: good and all we have to do is when that we keep asking about ice.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you bring stuff today, didn't you?
[SPEAKER_04]: What?
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: What's up?
[SPEAKER_09]: No.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, there were so many clips and quotes from that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_09]: Jody, where do we want to start from this one here?
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, Swallwell absolutely walked the ass of Mr. Lyons who heads up ice right now.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I saw that, I saw that.
[SPEAKER_04]: He kept what this name said.
[SPEAKER_04]: He swallowed a kid asking him if he was proud of what had happened.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah, here for those people who missed it here, let me play this on the DVR.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: with a woman who works as a cashier at a grocery store, and I told her I was coming to see you, Mr. Lyons, and she said, will you ask him, and she didn't want to give her name, she was terrified to give her name, but she said, when I get off my shift around midnight, and I walk through the parking lot to my car, she said, if somebody rolls up in an unidentified van and gets out, wearing all black, and their faces covered, and they don't have any identification,
[SPEAKER_01]: How do I know who they are?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, how does she know Mr. Lions?
[SPEAKER_01]: How does she know if they're an ice agent or a bad guys?
[SPEAKER_17]: Sir, ice agents have... No, they don't get a file of placards on their uniforms.
[SPEAKER_17]: No, they don't get a representative.
[SPEAKER_17]: But you won't see ice agents rolling through the parking lots and just snatching someone up.
[SPEAKER_17]: It's done with your wealth.
[SPEAKER_17]: It's driven.
[SPEAKER_17]: That's the wealth.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, that's a great choice.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's...
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, aren't they like clearing out home depot parking?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, all the time all the time and and they're not they're not targeting these people.
[SPEAKER_05]: What they're doing while they're targeting people, but not for intelligence reasons.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're not getting it in tellers.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hey, it's a home depot.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's go check it out.
[SPEAKER_05]: The other thing is like the uniforms that they wear, I can pick one up tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_09]: In fact, Amazon, in fact, that's one of the stories we have in the news on tap federal judge has upheld California's no vigilantes act in ruling against the Trump administration.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's the one that basically says that any member of any law enforcement, whether it is local state or federal must clearly wear their name tag must clearly have their insignia must be clearly identifiable and so that you can ask them who they are and they have to tell the truth on that kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: uh... same judge uh... also said however uh... that the the ice that that they can't have the mask but she suggested that if they if california took the state law and did the same thing with that that they did with the name tags and said held that applies to everybody
[SPEAKER_09]: Then she goes, yep, that'd be that'd be just fine.
[SPEAKER_05]: So the guy that's that authored it is rewriting the law now to reflect that.
[SPEAKER_05]: But the thing is is police officers, sheriffs, they all have the same uniform, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, ICE does not.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're wearing jeans.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're wearing camo.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're wearing, they don't have a uniform uniform.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're wearing whatever clothes their mom cleaned.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's nice.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry, that's... Look, when they're living in the basement, that is how that goes.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they all dug out the jeans they used to wear in high school.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: And try to fit into them now.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I want to see the training manuals.
[SPEAKER_04]: I really do.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if they exist first of all.
[SPEAKER_08]: I haven't even thought about that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, yeah, they've been every law enforcement has it even the Marines have a training manual Yeah, I have a training manual You should do, but the question is are they following it?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I was going to say anybody, does anybody have a copy?
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, and even more so the folks these days who actually have ice on the uniforms can they read it?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I mean, there is, look, the hearings, these guys just got their asses kicked up between their shoulder blades today, and it was, it was beautiful.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've got a few more clips from this.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'll play before you hear Charlie Charley, Charlie Pierce, the one or only from squire.com is hanging out with us on a Tuesday night, which is a fantastic thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Charlie's here.

[SPEAKER_09]: And it's also where the one and only Charlie Pierce is this evening hanging out with us.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm going to call for cake out.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can do that at this bar.
[SPEAKER_09]: We had no rules about that.
[SPEAKER_09]: There are bars where they're like, you can't bring outside food in.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm like, shabb, whatever.
[SPEAKER_09]: You don't care.
[SPEAKER_09]: Next slide, easier for the cooking to back.
[SPEAKER_09]: Come on, give me a break.
[SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'll tell you somebody who was not making life easy today.
[SPEAKER_09]: Rep Dan Goldman.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ah, the former former prosecutor who hasn't quite lost his enthusiasm, yeah, no, he wasn't enthusiasm.
[SPEAKER_06]: They haven't too, he hasn't deeply.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was whipping up on lions the head of ice today as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: Have to play this, it's a two part bit.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is the first part because it's just, it's hilarious and, well, let me put on the DVR.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, it's a dance mix.
[SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you know what other regimes in the 20th century are essentially required similar proof of citizenship?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, sir.
[SPEAKER_17]: But, sir, there was very nefarious, nefarious regimes that did that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Is Nazi Germany one?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, but I, is the Soviet Union one?
[SPEAKER_17]: I honestly, I'm asking the questions.
[SPEAKER_17]: Is the Soviet Union one?
[SPEAKER_17]: Yes, sir, but I totally, I totally, I totally, this is the wrong type of.
[SPEAKER_17]: This is the wrong time of the question.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll tell you what the wrong type actually is there.
[SPEAKER_17]: It's Holocaust Museum.
[SPEAKER_09]: They went back and forth and fought about it for a little bit like this.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he's basically like, you, first of all, shut up.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm rye m and claiming my time.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then Goldman hits him with this.
[SPEAKER_03]: You said in your opening statement,
[SPEAKER_03]: that references to ICE as the Gestapo or the secret police encourages threats against ICE agents.
[SPEAKER_03]: 100%.
[SPEAKER_03]: The problem is you have it backwards, sir.
[SPEAKER_03]: People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are unamerican and outright fascist.
[SPEAKER_03]: Whoa!
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Told you, they got an ass woken up there on Capitol.
[SPEAKER_04]: Whoa, little thin music from pitcher golden.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: That it was, it was, it, look, I'm glad these guys are feeling the heat.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm glad these folks are, I'm glad people are free to use the F word now.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, not.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh fascism.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, not that effort.
[SPEAKER_09]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, but I'm glad they are.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm glad they're doing a few bombs have been dropped on Stephanie's show recently.
[SPEAKER_04]: It happens.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've noticed that too.
[SPEAKER_09]: Chris has had to do some diving under the desk.
[SPEAKER_04]: Not Chris.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Bell is going to have like carpal tunnel.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's rich.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, but look, it's the fact that the matter is,
[SPEAKER_09]: But the whole Trump regime, whether you're talking some of the cabinet members, whether you're talking some of these punks who are running DHS and ICE, they're starting to feel the heat of accountability because even the MAGIFOX are like this crap doesn't fly anymore.
[SPEAKER_04]: I just saw and I don't know where I read this.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ammon Bundy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Remember?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Crazy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ammon Bundy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is now coming out against ice.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're correct.
[SPEAKER_04]: That makes sense, actually.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I can I can stand being on this sort of marginally stand being on the same side of things as Marjorie Taylor Green.
[SPEAKER_04]: But Aaron Bondi, or Rand Paul, but I'm in Bondi.
[SPEAKER_04]: He makes, he's not too far.
[SPEAKER_05]: He is, but it makes sense because he was against any government intrusion on people.
[SPEAKER_05]: So it leaves his consistent.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll give him that.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, but that's the whole point, Jody.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Is that he is consistent.
[SPEAKER_09]: And a lot of the mega people, the only thing they're consistent with is whatever grantee Trump says goes.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and the other the other story that's broken through is this Irish guy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the plaster from September from up here.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, he's been able to tell December.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, six months and all of a sudden, because he's white in European people are outraged.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, I thought, you know, I'll rigged for the other 69 people in the cell with him.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I mean, I'm glad if we, if this is what it takes,
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm saying these people fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: I got no problem, and I'm rooting for them because we need plastering done up here.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, we need back in the job, man.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, look, you know, as the fact that, you know, we are a bar, we don't necessarily mind if people occasionally get plastered.
[SPEAKER_04]: 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_09]: I just look at it and say, I don't understand how I've said this for a long time now.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't understand how any of these monsters on the the Trump side think that they're going to get away with this stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: The statutes of limitations on things like, you know, murdering Renee Good and murdering Alex Prety.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's no statute limitations on murder.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's no, there's a lot of other things that don't have statute of limitations.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'll have longer statute limitations than the next three years.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm sitting there going, and y'all think y'all are going to get away with with whatever.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_04]: A lot of people are supporting who are the enabling governments in the Caribbean.
[SPEAKER_09]: uh... that that enabled uh... abstain do we know uh... not yet but i'm sure they're in the island there you go yeah look there's who who got him shipments of things you and that the one of the big things to july cabron has been on this stuff all got that he's like Daniel she's like Daniel Dale i want to get i want to give them both oxygen
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know why I'm both a drink and be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I can make it, you can make an argument.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I mean, she is evil, but he obviously threw her under the bus and wanted his friend to be.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: And some of, and some of the survivors have, have, you know, they, they concurred with that.
[SPEAKER_09]: They've agreed that Epstein was worse.
[SPEAKER_09]: Or, or probably that's a loss worse.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was a woman betraying other women.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, right.
[SPEAKER_09]: But here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: I have said for the longest time, the biggest key wasn't did Trump engage in this with children.
[SPEAKER_09]: The thing was, did he know and not tell anybody?
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I think it's more than that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I wonder whether or not he bankrolled it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I don't know why Ron Walden is still banging in front against the wall trying to figure out where the money came from.
[SPEAKER_05]: No kidding.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, but the fact that he's still doing it and going to this is this is just the very tip of the very tip of the information that we're getting.
[SPEAKER_09]: We haven't media organizations and other people haven't even gone fully through the three and a half million and every time they do, I mean, literally, like today, the last 24 hours.
[SPEAKER_09]: We found out that, uh, Kanna and Massey are like, oh, we went in and easily found right away six people who they had and wrote kind of red their names out.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, he did on the floor of the house.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I did not hear that he had done that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Looked it up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: The fucking people you'd never heard of.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: One of whom is a
[SPEAKER_09]: But here's the thing, there's going to be a whole lot more people who are going to be sweating things, really, really hard, like they went to the workout place and they said, you know, because there are a lot of people who knew and said nothing.
[SPEAKER_09]: The fact that Donald Trump knew told, but you can clearly see, he didn't tell fully.
[SPEAKER_09]: He just said there were bad people doing bad things to the sheriff of Palm Beach County
[SPEAKER_09]: literally 20 years of contact and what context uh... it's it's in it's in july k brown's peace actually at uh... at uh... at the Miami here we've got it actually in here uh... she she runs down the whole thing no i mean what context was that the share of talking in trump
[SPEAKER_09]: why so uh uh let's see here let me run it run down the story here because i'm not remembering off the top of my head um this was from uh uh twenty nineteen interview that talked about the two thousand six comments so it's i wonder if technically that's hearsay but um uh this isn't the sheriff dead now isn't the guy that he talked to no longer with us
[SPEAKER_09]: That's possible, too.
[SPEAKER_09]: I buzzed it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I buzzed the story real fast before I came in and there's so much news today.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't entirely remember the details.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know you guys are looking up yourselves.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the long and short is that there are a lot of people.
[SPEAKER_09]: A lot of people who knew a lot about this and didn't say anything, Danny.
[SPEAKER_09]: Alex, it caused a. Oh, God, we know he did and the other person who did who's going to be under oath tomorrow and Thursday.
[SPEAKER_09]: Pam Bond and even if Republicans have been told not to ask her about it, but you're asked the Democrats haven't been.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, are you kidding?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Are you kidding?
[SPEAKER_04]: Jamie, Jamie, your asking is throwing a parade.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think Pam Bonnie tomorrow, you know, I know some people joke and be like, oh, she wears a swimsuit around.
[SPEAKER_09]: I bet she probably is.
[SPEAKER_09]: That and that and a pair of depends because she's going to be just, you know, wet and bullets and pee in herself tomorrow because she's not.
[SPEAKER_05]: She's just going to be rude as per usual.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, you're probably right, Jody.
[SPEAKER_05]: She's going to be rude.
[SPEAKER_05]: She's going to be, you can't ask me that.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I still don't know why the cross has yet to burn her skin.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, she and Caroline love it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, I mean, if, you know, God is clearly not on duty here because clearly, at least when it comes to those two, I'm like, oh man, you almost, you almost, part of me is like, I feel sorry for the fetus that Caroline must be carrying because I'm like growing in something that even just, well, not just that, but like her father's going to be the fetus father's going to be dead within three years because he's like,
[SPEAKER_05]: He's a lot older than she is, which also suggests that the fetus might have autism when it's born.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a well, well, that depends with if you're taking Tylenol or no, you're drinking pasturized milk.
[SPEAKER_05]: There were pictures of her drinking like a margarita waltz pregnant, so we don't know if it was actually with alcohol.
[SPEAKER_04]: You would not serve her in the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, no, no, no, no, no, you pregnant, no, sorry, that's, that's, we're, we're nicer than that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, you know, my mom having been a nurse in the NICU and that kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, sorry, that's, people are working in the NICU, man.
[SPEAKER_04]: They are, they are God's gift to the world, because that's, that's tough.
[SPEAKER_04]: That is tough, duty.
[SPEAKER_09]: My mom did that for, oh God, how many years I'm trying to think 85 to about 17 years, I'm like that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's an earth or yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Our industry.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_09]: Our nurse in the nursery.
[SPEAKER_09]: So she's the yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: That was that was really that was really handy thing growing up though, you know, because I think I only went to the hospital once for minor stitches when I was a kid.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because otherwise my mom would just patch me up, you know.
[SPEAKER_09]: do a 360 on a bike the hard way without a helmet and she's like patch up and watch you over and check check you once an hour to make sure that you know your brain isn't screwed up okay you're good to go by.

[SPEAKER_05]: They can bring their cell phones now to the space station.
[SPEAKER_09]: So they can
[SPEAKER_09]: Although, I don't know how good the service is, but I think it's for users like Candy Crush.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hey, look, my team mobile service is pretty good.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm just saying that's well, they have if they have sat phones.

[SPEAKER_09]: All right, Jared, we expect, we had Charlie Pearson here a little while ago, and Charlie's great.
[SPEAKER_09]: Charlie, always great.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have not done the drink of the day, and I always know that you and Jody really love kind of giving each other grief about this kind of stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know what you're talking about.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't either wasn't you both on that one.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm just saying guys we just messed with you.
[SPEAKER_10]: We're so good I don't I don't understand I don't know thing but support the second You both are great.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just you know, it's just you know, you play off each other really really
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't either.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, look, you play off each other, kind of like Citrus and Gin.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's just a suggestion.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_09]: Johnny, what is the drink of the day today?
[SPEAKER_09]: It's curvy.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, this movie.
[SPEAKER_05]: This will prevent scurvy.
[SPEAKER_09]: Indeed, prevention of things.
[SPEAKER_09]: What is the cocktail of the day and what is the inspiration for it today?
[SPEAKER_05]: It is called a damn the weather cocktail, which I'm sure you all in the east coast agree with.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hell yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it's inspired by national umbrella day, which we're going to need, because it's going to start raining here tonight.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, there you go.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's, you know, it's I can't say you need the rain, because you've had quite a bit of rain, but
[SPEAKER_09]: we can always use more I mean damn the weather is definitely something I've said I've said it a little more colorfully frankly over the world I am I'm so tired of this snowcrete that is what they're calling it around here where it's it had the snow and then it had the ice on top of it it's dangerous yeah
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, and even more importantly, you know, for Christopher my pup and and for all the pups in the neighborhood, they try to go out and that they try to use the outdoor facilities as it were as your dog and yet they're having a skitter on all of the ice.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're like, I'm just trying to walk and you'll try to find that they find a patch of grass and they're like, thank God, it's grass.
[SPEAKER_09]: I can pee and poo normally.
[SPEAKER_10]: So we've all been training for Malon, uh, skating around the sidewalks here in Houston.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hey, hey, uh, we won the silver in curling today, which finally.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, that was good.
[SPEAKER_10]: Anything, anything you can do with a broom, I think, is uh, and get a metal for it.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can, you could win a metal in curling while drinking a beer.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, no kidding.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, I don't think at the Olympics they allow it, but you know, it like curling leagues.
[SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: There are curling leagues that will allow you to drink while you are engaged in the, well, they call it sports.
[SPEAKER_05]: So, you know, Hey, all I know is March Simpson was very good at it on the Simpsons.
[SPEAKER_09]: True.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's a very long time.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, that was that was not one of the references we made today.
[SPEAKER_10]: We made a lot of umbrella references including a reanna reference because umbrella singing in the rain Mary poppins the umbrella academy I don't know if you like that was you both follow the social media rule where if you see the clip of Tom Holland doing the umbrella on that lip think show Oh, you have to repost it no matter when of course.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's brilliant.
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't rule that I still follow
[SPEAKER_09]: but I think it's funny.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think it's a great piece and he is Tom Holland clearly, you know, if you knew nothing else other than Spider-Man in that video, you'd be like, that guy's talented.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's very talented.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's also very good.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Which, you know, there are a lot of people who didn't even know he was English at first.
[SPEAKER_09]: that right there.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, so what is in the damn, oh, by the way, the damn letter cocktail, I know some of you are going to be bitching because you're like wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_09]: So you're talking, it's inspired by umbrellas.
[SPEAKER_09]: But there's no umbrella in the drink.
[SPEAKER_10]: Like, if you don't put that weird, if you put an optional umbrella, I read the drink of today's optional.
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, technically an umbrella, a paper umbrella is always optional.
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, you can, you can dress up if you're wanting coffee if you really need to.
[SPEAKER_10]: I know there have been days when I've needed that reason.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, it's also nice because if you're at the office and you have somebody next to you who's kind of a pain in the ass, it's just convenient.
[SPEAKER_09]: You have a little paper umbrella, you have it in your coffee.
[SPEAKER_09]: You've happened to sharpen it.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a stabby stabby thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly, see?
[SPEAKER_09]: I think you're thinking the background.
[SPEAKER_09]: How do we make a damn the weather cocktail, Jody?
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, you're going to need a pre-chilled coupe glass, a shaker, some ice, one and a half ounces of Hayman's London dry gender, any good generally.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, right, whatever your favorite dry gender is.
[SPEAKER_05]: A quarter ounce of orange, chorizo, liqueur.
[SPEAKER_05]: Three quarters is an ounce of stretchy rosso vermuth and an ounce of orange juice freshly squeezed You will garnish with an orange zest twist and potentially a cocktail umbrella.
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, I don't know why you wouldn't at this point It feels you know, there are some like this is a strong suggestion it should feel like
[SPEAKER_10]: Look for this, you know, if the drink of the day involved a sword, even if we didn't have the little cherry thing, I would say use one of the little plastic swords that we have, but, you know, this is a drink of all the questions about this, and I know Joni has gone through this mostly on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on, on
[SPEAKER_10]: as cocktail connoisseurs, as people who are professionally drinking personally at home.
[SPEAKER_10]: When you do the chilling, I always, I am never satisfied with how my glass is kind of teetering in my freezer.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I always feel like I'm going to break it and drop it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Do you guys have a system that works for you?
[SPEAKER_10]: Because I am never, maybe this is just one of my many, many permutations of my paranoia.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay, so never really satisfied.
[SPEAKER_05]: Putting it in the fridge of the freezer is one way to chill a glass.
[SPEAKER_05]: The way a bartender does it is they put ice in the glass while they're making the drink and then they toss the ice and then they pour the drink in after that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_09]: You put the ice in from the the big ice bucket or ice container, whatever you've got there.
[SPEAKER_05]: You would use for drinking, not right.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then you put it back in there because you haven't used it to actually, you know, nothing has been just ice.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, that's how you chill a glass in a bar.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_09]: And now there, there have been a number of bars.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's such a, like, chill like beer mugs and stuff that are in like a fridge or a freezer.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: If they have, if they have like a, um,
[SPEAKER_09]: kind of like the stand racks that you see that are like grocery stores and convenience stores and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_09]: What I have seen that works pretty well is that they use like a cookie sheet.
[SPEAKER_09]: Where they have the glasses upside down on that.
[SPEAKER_09]: So they feel a little bit, you know, it feels it doesn't feel as as rinky and like it's going to fall over in the next
[SPEAKER_10]: The only other thing I wanted to ask about this is now you go through the whole thing.
[SPEAKER_10]: I read the the the entire explanation and it did talk about umbrellas as potentially something you can wear sure but it did not mention and I worked long enough in St. Louis where I would be completely I would I would be just just pelted with former colleagues if I did not
[SPEAKER_10]: that you can wear.
[SPEAKER_10]: So I just feel like you look at the umbrella has the umbrella had loop rocks broke umbrella.
[SPEAKER_05]: I've almost bought one because it helps with shade.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, and so you don't have to wear a big hat.
[SPEAKER_05]: You just wear the umbrella hat.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think there is there is there is a mention of it in there.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you notice that it says umbrellas have also been fashioned in hats is early 1880 and is recently is 1987.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's the exact line that made me wonder whether Lou was going to get a mention.
[SPEAKER_10]: And yet and yet baseball Hall of Famer and Cardinal legend not mentioned by me.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, you know, look, I felt a little shade indeed.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, man.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, I knew that was coming at some point.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was gonna be something in there.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, Jodie, how do we make all of this by the way?
[SPEAKER_09]: It should be fairly.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a very easy drink to make.
[SPEAKER_05]: You take all your ingredients.
[SPEAKER_05]: You put it in a shaker with ice.
[SPEAKER_05]: Shake it up so it gets cold.
[SPEAKER_05]: Strain it into the coop glass and express the orange twist and uses garnish.
[SPEAKER_05]: And also, if you would like to use, your cocktail and brela to spear.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, the orange zest and let it float in there.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, that's nice.
[SPEAKER_09]: Be kind of cool, see?
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, if you guys missed any part of the drink of the day, you know what to do, just subscribe to the wall.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you can use your little umbrella like a little parasol when you're done.
[SPEAKER_09]: Or you know, just grab me with it, which is what you're trying to do.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I did not.
[SPEAKER_09]: And look, you were actually well behaved this time.
[SPEAKER_10]: So there's relatively secret, yes, that's true.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, no, actually, actually, the people who I've wanted to
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, no, I don't mean, like, like, violently.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just deal with it with the cocktail umbrella because they were just getting there.
[SPEAKER_09]: The thing is is that I didn't, I didn't feel the need because I don't like me, obviously.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, I think ICE needs to be replaced completely.
[SPEAKER_09]: The people who say abolish ICE, look, we've seen the polls.
[SPEAKER_09]: Replace ICE does better than abolish ICE and it means the same thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, you know, be effective.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the fact is, it doesn't need to be replaced clearly because of these idiots up there.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I would be kind of, you know, cocktail umbrella stabby towards them except for the fact that the Democrats were just whipping their asses and you're like, oh, you know, you're like, man, I don't like you.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then you know, oh, you're already getting your ass kicked.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, I'm just going to stand back and watch somebody else do the work then that's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's.
[SPEAKER_10]: because they were they were getting they were getting pounded today no to to make another simsons reference i'm not i'm just gonna i'm a little joddy hot you know take all the credit but this was a stop stop he's already dead kind of a yeah there was a lot of beating of and i you know it was actually heartening to see down my crats open up the the slew so a little bit here because it really is an issue
[SPEAKER_10]: where this is a winning message here.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think, you know, we can talk about the language and you and I obviously we disagree.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think abolish ice is great.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think, you know, and I think we've been living under this.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, yeah, we're five year mistake.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yes, we over corrected after 9 11.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, we've got to undo that we've seen where it leads.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's not anywhere good.
[SPEAKER_09]: right so let's undo that a little bit and we can we can renegotiate dhs when we've got an occupant of the White House who isn't completely insane yeah now 100% look you were saying Jody the wiki we should go back to i and s and you don't really you know change things around which I got no problem with but just the fact that
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know, have either of you heard the Democratic primary race in New Jersey to replace now Governor Cheryl, because obviously she's a member of Congress.
[SPEAKER_09]: Between two Democrats, at last check, the more, further left-meaning, more liberal one was going on.
[SPEAKER_09]: I saw a piece from, I think, Michelle Goldberg in the New York Times that was saying, you know what, abolish ICE may, that may be, to our example of how it's working.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the general, the long and short of it is people across the spectrum, unless you are a very dedicated whatever Donald Trump says zombie, there are a whole lot of people who are like, no, this ain't working man, it ain't working to do what we wanted to do.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, it's not.
[SPEAKER_09]: Which is good.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, the fact that they call home land security bothered me because that's a very German.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, very German.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: Anyway, look, we, it is Tuesday and I Jared is here.
[SPEAKER_09]: We will talk more about drinks.
[SPEAKER_09]: We got more than news on day to get to.
[SPEAKER_09]: So fresh in your drink.
[SPEAKER_09]: Come on back.
[SPEAKER_09]: Jared Rizzi's in-house, hang on.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_09]: Tuesday night here at the politics bar you got you Jody Hamilton you got your shots with Pearson yes indeed you happen to have Jared Rizzi in the house hanging out with us we realize when they hear the bass in that fact that's me I'm just playing the bass you were just helping Lonnie I swear it's fine you know look you know it was a lovely visit when you came here it was really nice to meet you in person do you know session
[SPEAKER_09]: It is always it is always a good thing and of course, you know, we always appreciate Lonnie the politics bar Thank you, Lonnie, thank you for your rush.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you We do have a lot of stuff in the news on tab today if you missed it by the way you guys can subscribe to do two the news on tab for free at the politics bar dot com although you know, we just think you should scrub to the whole thing get the podcast and everything but check it out.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's there at the politics bar dot com
[SPEAKER_09]: uh... we were talking here uh... in the break and uh... you know i am i am cheered you are cheered i think all of us are cheered by how democrats did today on the hill and they got a lot of other chances old panny is coming yet pound bond is coming even though republicans have been told don't ask her about abstain files
[SPEAKER_09]: Democrats have no such compunction whatsoever.
[SPEAKER_09]: And Democrats, the ones who are being pushed, Dan Goldman is being pushed, Eric Swallwell, who is running for governor, running for your governor.
[SPEAKER_09]: Joe, he's being pushed.
[SPEAKER_09]: Did you catch this one earlier, Jared, when he was up and on, this is interesting.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because so he beat up on lines, head of ice,
[SPEAKER_09]: And then this is kind of how he near the end of Swalwell's little five minutes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Here, let me play this on the DVR.
[SPEAKER_01]: Times, will you apologize to the family of Renee Good for being called a domestic terrorist by the president and his leadership?
[SPEAKER_17]: No, sir.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why not?
[SPEAKER_17]: There, I welcome the opportunity to speak to the family and private, but I'm not going to comment on any active investigation.
[SPEAKER_17]: Is she a domestic terrorist?
[SPEAKER_17]: Here, I'm not going to comment on the investigation.
[SPEAKER_17]: and the president and Secretary Nome are elected officials.
[SPEAKER_17]: That's your right to their comments.
[SPEAKER_17]: But as long for a clear law enforcement, we won't speak to any.
[SPEAKER_17]: Do you agree with their comments?
[SPEAKER_17]: Sir, I'm not going to go ahead and talk about any ongoing investigation.
[SPEAKER_09]: And here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: he had to woke up on lions for about five minutes just to get lions to say what is technically the correct thing it is kind of heartless and he obviously could have done it with a hell of a lot more empathy for the family of Renee good and how it's pretty.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the fact that if you would ask anybody in that position during any of the previous administrations except for Trump except for the first Trump regime.
[SPEAKER_09]: You asked him under Biden, Obama, either Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Ford, and they all would have given some version of, I can't talk about it because it's an open investigation.
[SPEAKER_09]: They may have had some empathy and said, you know, but, you know, we do feel for the family.
[SPEAKER_09]: But in order to get that from this guy, Swahla had to pound the crap out of him for about four minutes first.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm like,
[SPEAKER_09]: Really?
[SPEAKER_09]: That's what it takes to get you to do your job as us beaten a crap out of you and then finally you'll go okay You'll see the thing that everybody else should would say Seriously really
[SPEAKER_10]: We have to get to a point where these officials fear the law more than they fear Donald Trump's anger because these guys are going up there making asses of themselves and frankly showcasing exactly how little they have a pulse on what's going on and what people think this is going badly.
[SPEAKER_10]: They know it's going badly, and the fact that they don't ding to criticize the president because he said something extremely stupid.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right, and you know, I just, I think back to, you know, something like, you know, Obama talking about, you know, the beer summit.
[SPEAKER_10]: And like something like, you know, where you've got him saying, somebody was a jackass because he did something, you know, a police officer,
[SPEAKER_10]: And then Democrats went out there and some Democrats and the president was wrong, some Democrats said whatever and all right, that's what a healthy democracy looks like not this ironclad moment and even at the beginning of the hearing when the Republicans were reminding other members of the rules of this engagement.
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, I just want to remind everyone that we can't say anything that might hurt the president's feel, they said that, you know, the, that might disparage the president, but you know, it's really like, how sensitive is this guy?
[SPEAKER_10]: We know how sensitive he is.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, fragile is this man's egg shell ego that we all have to pretend like the embers close are just stunning right now because it's bad.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's real bad.
[SPEAKER_09]: There were some members, some other members, Delia Ramirez, to the DHS officials.
[SPEAKER_09]: She was just out right here.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let me play this one too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Chairman, my mother, a Guatemalan immigrant and an American taught me that I have a responsibility to let evil in the eye and to fight it back.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mr. Lyon, Mr. Scott, Mr. Edel, you have used your power to perpetrate, great evil.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's about time you answer this committee for the lawlessness that you've empowered and defended in your testimony.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mr. Lyon, I want to start with you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I want to talk about ICE, because under your leadership, ICE has shot and killed Silvario Villegas Gonzalez and Renee Good, violin and nearly 100 court orders in January alone.
[SPEAKER_00]: You've used ban chokeholds in more than 40 cases, engage in wireless arrest, the spite of a consent decree, and you use children as bait to put 3,800 children in detention.
[SPEAKER_00]: You create a traps for people at immigration court who are following the law and doing it the legal way.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you broke the law by entering to people's homes without a judicial warrant in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, let's talk about you, Mr. Scott.
[SPEAKER_09]: She does this, she does this for like two and a half minutes.
[SPEAKER_09]: And all she's really doing is just listing the things they did.
[SPEAKER_09]: And yet, it is a trash can beating of these guys.
[SPEAKER_09]: And she's got no compunction.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's got no, she doesn't feel sorry about it at all.
[SPEAKER_09]: She isn't shading anything.
[SPEAKER_09]: Speaking of umbrellas.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's got it, she's like, you know, I, I would, yeah, they're meant.
[SPEAKER_10]: And the end of the clip, which I think is really the most important is she says, you know, do you guys believe that, and I'm not going to do it justice, but she says, do you believe that you're going to go to hell for these, these crimes that you're committing here?
[SPEAKER_10]: I think that we have to remind people, and like I said at a minute ago, they need to be more afraid of the law.
[SPEAKER_10]: If anything, waiting until their natural death is, that is not when just to should happen.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, accountability is to happen before.
[SPEAKER_10]: While they live, while they breathe, they need to be reminded that what they're doing is evil is wrong, it's illegal, and it's going to be punished.
[SPEAKER_10]: And at one point today, several points today, people said you better hope for a pardon.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, you know, I think we really need to renegotiate and relegate the president's impunity, the president's ability to confer impunity on others.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, and everybody every mask that these guys wears is a little is a little immunity badge.
[SPEAKER_10]: We got to tear those off and I hope that whatever Democrats end up negotiating in the next few days.
[SPEAKER_10]: has to have to has to include forbidding these masks, exactly.
[SPEAKER_10]: It seems like these guys know that they would rather quit their job being ice agents than having their neighbors know what the hell they do for living.
[SPEAKER_10]: And we need to remind them that their accountability is going to happen in this lifetime.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Amen.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, in California, we talked about it with Charlie.
[SPEAKER_09]: The two bills we talked about earlier, Jody.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's the one that they said they have to put up the name tags.
[SPEAKER_09]: That one got through.
[SPEAKER_09]: The judge said that one's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the other one's you said because of the way it's written right now that it doesn't that it basically exempts, I mean, it's, it's again, it's unconstitutional because it only talks about this particular type.
[SPEAKER_09]: The federal, as opposed to exact, yeah, it exempts the, the, the local and the stating
[SPEAKER_09]: right but she said look all you got to do is rewrite the law and say it affects every law enforcement up and down the aisle and then they all have to rip them mess off yep and that's if they want to work here in California and who really wouldn't I mean California's a great place and also the thing is as I've read several reports that when they say oh we've been dogs and we know they haven't have they cannot dox a public official we have a right to know who you are right cuz they work
[SPEAKER_09]: for us.
[SPEAKER_09]: They are, they are employees.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's, that's, that's like, you know, you, you have, you have a bar.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you have somebody come, hey, hey, who's behind the bar?
[SPEAKER_09]: No, you can't know why I'm a mask.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can't see me.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're working for me.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: I have a mask.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can't see me.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I mean, no other law enforcement puts a mask on unless there's a hazard, literally physical, you know, that's going to harm them physically.
[SPEAKER_05]: So these masks are that data, so they're not very good other than hiding your face.
[SPEAKER_09]: right.
[SPEAKER_09]: That is the clear purpose of those kinds of things.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is, it's ridiculous that they think they can get away with it.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I understand, look, there will be, maybe they're going after drug dealer or something like that.
[SPEAKER_09]: And there are going to be situations where they're and that's fine.
[SPEAKER_10]: Has it been here a million miles?
[SPEAKER_10]: No, this is what when Schumer starts talking about, oh, you know, we've got to create, you know, these exceptions.
[SPEAKER_10]: No.
[SPEAKER_10]: Stop.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, but there's literally nothing there's like there's already there's already there's already in policies we're already basically says unless you are the the you know police equivalent of special ops You know going to do that right there's like there's like you know basically you have to be swat and engaged in a specific thing that says
[SPEAKER_10]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_10]: And if Democrats accept anything less, they are being.
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, I think we're seeing a big turn around in terms of what people are willing to accept.
[SPEAKER_10]: I hope that momentum continues because there is just no acceptable way for this, this lawless agency to get more money with democratic votes at this point.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, no, clearly they don't deserve any more chances.
[SPEAKER_09]: I, they have been, it's, it's been awful.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've, we've got, by the way, if you guys missed any details, we've got all the stories on all this stuff in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_09]: Obviously, of course, so the Trump Epstein files in the first round and the immigration wars in the second round.
[SPEAKER_09]: There is more news in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_09]: Trump has other wars as we all know.
[SPEAKER_09]: the war on democracy continues house committee held a hearing today on Republicans mega voter suppression bill that's the but those that in the same act they're pushing for votes on those this week Democrats should hold the line on those two absolutely not
[SPEAKER_09]: No, those are voter suppression bills.
[SPEAKER_09]: Their only job is to make it harder and more difficult for anybody to vote.
[SPEAKER_10]: And one change that we've seen in the last couple of just today actually, we'll see if it sticks with that they now want to change that save loss or that save bill that's being negotiated to potentially take effect before the 2026 midterms.
[SPEAKER_10]: The line has to be firmer than firm, you know, this is just not acceptable.
[SPEAKER_10]: I have seen some Republicans, I think there's an awareness that this could potentially hurt.
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, we, we, we, we put them to absolutely.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's, it's, you know, look, if you've ever known a disorganized, you know, poor white person in your life who may not have.
[SPEAKER_10]: What?
[SPEAKER_10]: No, I disorganized poor white person.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, really, but also the idea that you just,
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, this is usually, usually voter suppression hurts people with lower voter engagement more.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think Republicans are aware that they're going into a cycle where their guys are not excited to go out and vote.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yo, I think they are aware of just, you know, let's make this even worse for ourselves.
[SPEAKER_10]: But it's also, I mean, Democrats should oppose it because it's the wrong thing to do.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then no, that's, look, I'm, I'm extremely glad there's a really good piece in that by the way from Cheryl and I full about how to stop the save act.
[SPEAKER_09]: You guys can read that of news on Tampa today as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: There is a war we haven't always talked about, but unfortunately it's gotten further.
[SPEAKER_09]: The Trump's war on the environment, there's a new House Republican bill, gutting the laws protecting U.S. consumers from toxic chemicals, which, gee, golly, don't you just want that.
[SPEAKER_09]: No.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, finally, you know, now that my skittles have natural coloring, we can finally open the floodgates on the factories pouring things into the water in the water.
[SPEAKER_05]: I sure are FK juniors just fine with all of this because we know where he likes to swim.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh god, it's a protein-based diet, Jodie, and I'm sure that no matter what he consumes, it'll be an animal carcass that is maybe recent.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm sorry, I'm getting grossed out, that's just, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and as Randy, you say the UD guys, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[SPEAKER_09]: There's even worse.
[SPEAKER_09]: The Trump administration is looking to repeal the landmark climate change finding in the anti-climate regulatory rollback and those anti-climate activists are bragging their near total victory.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm like, how dumb.
[SPEAKER_05]: What do these people have?
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't have kids and this bothers me.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: You have one.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, I mean, look, at the beginning of the last segment I was talking about, you know, this 25-year misexperiment on DHS, but I do think we are right now at the culmination of essentially 30 years of Republicans making a lot of headway on things like campaign finance reform, things like, you know, immigration.
[SPEAKER_10]: deregulation started with Reagan.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's farther away than than 50 years.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, 45 years.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: If we don't see how bad this is for everybody at this point, well, then I guess we deserve whatever sludge we'll need to trudge through.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: I know that we see we see you are not wrong.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know that we see it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm just glad that I think more of the people who've been blinded by the Fox are starting to see some of that as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: Or by the dollars because when you
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, yeah, yeah, there's that too.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, we've got one more segment at least with Mr. Jared Rizzi.

[SPEAKER_09]: Commerce Department reporting disappointing holidays season as December retail sales reflect.
[SPEAKER_09]: Color me shocked.
[SPEAKER_09]: What?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh my god.

[SPEAKER_09]: No, she was honest there, she was just being shocked and surprised.
[SPEAKER_09]: Really?
[SPEAKER_09]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, the fact is nobody I think is is bright.
[SPEAKER_09]: And nobody's going to be surprised.
[SPEAKER_09]: The job's report.
[SPEAKER_09]: Although.
[SPEAKER_09]: So yes, it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, for the for those of you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Wait, John's about to come out.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, what's going to be surprised about it?
[SPEAKER_10]: Because the administration is talking about it illegally.
[SPEAKER_10]: It advanced.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, sorry.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: 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_09]: Um, like they're in sixth grade.
[SPEAKER_09]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_10]: Every month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics puts together a report.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's, it's one of the most important things it does and the report essentially says how many people who are looking for a job can't find one.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right.
[SPEAKER_10]: That is a big question.
[SPEAKER_10]: A lot of employers send some data in.
[SPEAKER_10]: And so eventually, they tend to revise those numbers, but they get a snapshot each month and then they revise the previous months and years snapshot occasionally.
[SPEAKER_10]: Now, when do they, when do they revise the, the annual oneger and what to, it should be, it should have been a week ago, but they didn't.
[SPEAKER_10]: So it'll be tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_10]: It'll be tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's weird.
[SPEAKER_10]: We've actually been in this kind of weird period where the BLS, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, hasn't done a regular thing.
[SPEAKER_10]: four year a lot of the last five or six months because we were in a regular government shutdown and then the government used that shutdown to justify some other numbers being incorrect and then the holiday season's always a little weird and then there was some
[SPEAKER_10]: tiny little teeny tiny shut down and also some bad weather that they're blaming and now we're getting one in the middle of a week.
[SPEAKER_10]: So we're here on a Tuesday talking about a Wednesday that usually something that comes out on a Friday and I don't even remember what we're talking about.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's the job's numbers.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, look at the bad.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think it is going to be horrendously bad and yet and yet.
[SPEAKER_09]: We were
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, and about how some of these sports people, especially Jared, you may have missed this, but they did not do the expectations management appropriately for the bad bunny half-time show, which we thought was great.
[SPEAKER_06]: I loved it.
[SPEAKER_09]: But some people were expecting more like, you know, we're forgetting about the racist.
[SPEAKER_09]: Just some other people who maybe were expecting more of like, you know, a who and aerosmith, the print style show, and they were like, oh, this was more like a like a video kind of a thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're good like that's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: expectation management helps.
[SPEAKER_09]: Obviously, Peter Navarro was out today on Fox Business trying to do expectations.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, breaking the law.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, that's, that's another way of calling in here.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let me play that for you.
[SPEAKER_15]: Thing I want to note, the job support's coming to come out tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_15]: We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like.
[SPEAKER_15]: When we were letting in 2 million illegal aliens, they're coming in and coming, we had to produce 200,000 jobs a month for steady state.
[SPEAKER_15]: By the way, all of the jobs that we were creating in Biden years were going to illegals
[SPEAKER_15]: That's totally reverse and now 50,000 a month is going to be more like what we need.
[SPEAKER_15]: So, all street when this stuff comes out, they can't rain on that parade.
[SPEAKER_15]: They have to adjust for the fact that we're reporting the original Eagles.
[SPEAKER_10]: I know you guys don't play a lot of Maria Bartiromo on this show, but I do think it's occasionally helpful to look and see what tire fire is happening yet another.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh no, no, no, we play as sometimes Maria Maria's look was like, you know, when they cut to her finally, right, when she was, she's going to speak, she's basically got her head in her hand and she's like Jesus Peter, shut up.
[SPEAKER_10]: I've alluded to this a couple of times with let me just spell it out it is it is breaking the law to talk about the report before it comes out because it moves markets does work right doing very well today the president is actually also on on Fox channels talking about it and and and everybody wants to talk about it in fact
[SPEAKER_10]: if we had that information and revealed it to certain people in a market where, you know, the stock market and then all these little, you know, polymarkets where everyone's gambling on everything they say is right.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's really illegal.
[SPEAKER_10]: And so what Peter and actually later on in that clip, Maria's like, well, you're not, you know, talking about the report, are you because Maria knows the law and I know the law and now if you all know the law,
[SPEAKER_10]: because it's insane, it would never have been done under any administration.
[SPEAKER_10]: We cannot keep normalizing the insanity, the law-breaking, well, there's also the fact that all in a barrel is, Pinotivari has lied his ass off about virtually everything, perpetually forever.
[SPEAKER_09]: The truth, as I know it, from people who are actual good economists, like Jared Bernstein, for example, but only two good Jared's him and me.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, well, yeah, definitely not too much guy.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah, he's pretty good.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, he's pretty good.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, he's pretty good.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, he's pretty good.
[SPEAKER_09]: has been considered for a long time now, a standard point of that's pretty good.
[SPEAKER_09]: 120 to 180,000 a month is a pretty standard.
[SPEAKER_09]: By the way, the average I believe throughout Biden's entire tenure, except at the very beginning when he was cleaning up Trump's mess from the pandemic, was about 122,000 a month.
[SPEAKER_09]: that's that's normal.
[SPEAKER_09]: And for the entire time that the BLS has been doing these numbers, they haven't done, they haven't carved out exceptions and said, well, except for immigrants, right, right, well, let's also remember, and I'm sorry, I'm apparently still lit on fire, self lit on fire here.
[SPEAKER_10]: Let's also remember that part of the reason this administration justified
[SPEAKER_10]: Jobs.
[SPEAKER_10]: And now they're saying, well, you know, we're have to accept that there are fewer jobs because because why Peter, why the whole world is upside down and I feel insane listening to you talk about it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I mean, if we have less people, then there are more jobs available.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you, Jodie.
[SPEAKER_10]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Like we're all slowly going insane and I'm sorry to be the one that you're not going and you're not going
[SPEAKER_09]: They're always trying to move the goal posts and tell people, well, we know this is the rule, normally for everybody else.
[SPEAKER_09]: In fact, it was the rule during the first Trump regime, but for this particular thing, we're changing the rule, and the rule conveniently in their mind always changes to benefit them.
[SPEAKER_09]: How interesting.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is also known as Calvin Ball.
[SPEAKER_09]: For those of you who were not fans of Calvin and Hobbes, the Great Waterson cartoon for many, many years.
[SPEAKER_09]: Calvin and his his pet tiger Hobbs always they they would he do it probably but once a month or so where waterstone would draw them playing Calvin ball and Calvin ball is a game where Calvin and his pet tiger change the rules during the game every time and conveniently they always change rules to benefit themselves
[SPEAKER_09]: That's Calvin Ball.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that is what the Trump regime is trying to do again.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're going to do it tomorrow with the economic data when it comes out.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, this, this is normally, anybody else would consider this bad, but no, it's really good because Yeah, and you know, I think you contrast what Peter Navarro is saying with what you might hear after a Super Bowl event in a press conference or even, you know, again talking about Milan and the Olympics,
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean what what people do when they're about to win is always say well what you've got to do is revise your expectations we don't want people panicking the White House just sent out a thing yesterday says don't be a panic can which is I believe a panic to Republican that's what they're trying to put those two words together which is also just oh
[SPEAKER_10]: worth smithery.
[SPEAKER_09]: But you know, I mean, did you read the whole thing because they actually in in all sentence, it was something like we're not worrying here, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it gets the end of the sentence and says, but we're not worrying here.
[SPEAKER_10]: And you're like, yeah, they really pay for the paid AI subscription or writing press releases.
[SPEAKER_10]: The free one isn't working.
[SPEAKER_10]: But no, I just, I just look at this and say to myself, you know, you're illegally talking about the numbers in advance, the numbers are going to be terrible.
[SPEAKER_10]: We've all hit, I think, you know, this, this wall, where we know that, well, I'm actually going to go ahead and say, because you were talking about the halftime show, I think it's a turning point, Sean.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think that's that, and that moment, Kid Rock pretending to sing while wearing
[SPEAKER_10]: Because they're not even singing.
[SPEAKER_10]: They don't actually have a song.
[SPEAKER_10]: The song book is terrible And they shouldn't even be allowed to speak sing for them.
[SPEAKER_10]: You get the applause because that was just the perfect timing in the perfect place for that reference because I His pale pastey thighs have hurt me and I just hope that it doesn't have to hurt anyone
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, that whole thing, the fact that even at Marta Logo, they were actually watching that button.
[SPEAKER_05]: They were.
[SPEAKER_09]: Is hilarious.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's like, guys, come on, you can't even, I just, it's, it's, it's funny to me.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, I don't want to worry about.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't, I don't, I don't even want to talk about, uh, kid rock anymore.
[SPEAKER_09]: I do, by the way, uh, want to update people.
[SPEAKER_09]: You and everyone else, I mean, that's the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: The Olympics, by the way, today, American Ben Ogden, by the way, one silver in the men's cross-country skiing broke a 50-year metal job there.
[SPEAKER_09]: Team USA's Alex Hall won silver also in the men's freestyle skiing, slope style.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's the kind of one where you ski, kind of like they do on the snowboards, but you're doing it on skis, which is pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_09]: Molts in the wilds, a couple of fantastic women in the combined.
[SPEAKER_09]: They got bronze, shifrin, and Johnson actually finished
[SPEAKER_09]: and the hockey game is going on right now and we can't tell you what's going on for happening with it because well it's going on right now but you know some some good wins I'm really excited by the Olympics.
[SPEAKER_09]: I dig the Olympics.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm I'm look I'm a Olympic guys one of the one of the the events that I covered when I first started out In Brighton, y'all yeah, yeah, we we could talk about that more if you got time you can have time for a little bit of after hours Oh, fine, I am I am I am actually interested in knowing your Olympic That also my story and you can drop f-bombs and s-bombs and all sorts of bombs if you want
