[SPEAKER_12]: When I, if I ever leave this home, I will find them.
[SPEAKER_09]: Or you just do a remodel or something like that.
[SPEAKER_12]: I will find them.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm sure of it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, today, you know what they found out from Hillary Clinton absolutely nothing she had nothing to say right cuz she didn't she doesn't even ever remember meeting Jeffrey Epstein if she did it was like a photo
[SPEAKER_09]: That's the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: She also said that in something earlier to she put out her statement, which we have in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have the link to that, I believe in there.
[SPEAKER_09]: But here's here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: She and Bill have met so many people.
[SPEAKER_09]: She said this before numerous times.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's like, we've taken pictures and you know, shaking hands with.
[SPEAKER_09]: thousands and thousands at this point, I would imagine.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, when you meet politicians a lot of times, that's not uncommon.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, the fact that somebody knows somebody.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, can we can we mention that?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, so you were at an event last night.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was.
[SPEAKER_09]: You were an event where you got to meet?
[SPEAKER_12]: Zach walls.
[SPEAKER_12]: These are walls, people.
[SPEAKER_09]: Zach walls of Iowa State Representative Zach walls.
[SPEAKER_09]: Who is somebody who, okay, my brother having worked in I will politics.
[SPEAKER_09]: He knows Zach and his ex wife Chloe is a journalist and I kind of know her a little bit and so he said and he remembered you guys.
[SPEAKER_09]: He totally did see that's kind of nice.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's that's nice to hear sex and this acts a very nice guy.
[SPEAKER_12]: He's a very friendly guy and he's running for Johnny Ernst's seat.
[SPEAKER_09]: even more of a reason to keep clapping.
[SPEAKER_12]: Sorry, I just...
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm the woman who did the right thing.
[SPEAKER_12]: How would you like to be running against is Ashley something and he... Ashley Hinson.
[SPEAKER_12]: He has nothing but bad things to say about her, especially because of what he did when he was 19.
[SPEAKER_12]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Ashley, well, Ashley Hinson is like a lot of mega people these days.
[SPEAKER_09]: She is dishonest as hell.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's, um, I would put her in the, in the, in the category of Kelly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Kelly.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not going to say anything more than I would put her in the category of KLA.
[SPEAKER_09]: And if you're here in the bar last night, you know exactly what I mean.
[SPEAKER_09]: Just saying.
[SPEAKER_12]: Now he was, he was so nice first off.
[SPEAKER_12]: He's like, so tall.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, super tall.
[SPEAKER_12]: Super tall.
[SPEAKER_12]: And this is LA where most people are short.
[SPEAKER_12]: unless they're like lead actors, and even lead actors, they're like five nine.
[SPEAKER_12]: Trust me, they're very few that are over six feet.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's actors.
[SPEAKER_12]: They look taller than they are.
[SPEAKER_09]: Of course, she shoot from an up angle, but yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: But no, and I looked align, I said, he's tall, right?
[SPEAKER_12]: Because I'm used to short people, and he's like, no, he's really tall.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, Zach is tall.
[SPEAKER_12]: And he could not have been a nicer to all of us that were at this thing.
[SPEAKER_12]: It was a small little fundraiser here in Los Angeles for him.
[SPEAKER_12]: And then he spoke, and it was like, he's this guy when you talk to him, and then, oh my God.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's got a well, I think he did a speech into bait and high school fire when he was really good.
[UNKNOWN]: He's good.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's good guy.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's good smart.
[SPEAKER_09]: I still think of him as a kid because of some of my Iowa connections, but that's, look, this is one of the things.
[SPEAKER_09]: When people talk about the Trump Epstein class, it's not.
[SPEAKER_09]: I always used to joke about because of my other things.
[SPEAKER_09]: My one of my first jobs.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, yeah, I did things like newspaper route and babysitting and that kind of stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I worked at a country club.
[SPEAKER_12]: That could have been awful.
[SPEAKER_09]: There were times it was not great.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, I have been in plenty of rooms where things have happened.
[SPEAKER_09]: including a number of, you know, when when you go to, when you work at country clubs and places like that, you meet the Muffin Buff class, you know, and I'm not saying everybody who's rich is bad because that's not true.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, it's not, but I mean, I don't want to work in a country club.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, well, that's not how I don't recommend doing that, but even if they do let you do a little bartending before you get even drink, which you are not supposed to do, whatever, but that's, but that's just it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Is that they act with impunity at every level, many of these people do.
[SPEAKER_09]: This gets into the whole Trump Epstein class.
[SPEAKER_09]: and obviously gets into today obviously in the news on tap starting off with the Trump steam files the cover up is always worse and it is finally the story that we've been talking about for a while and it's been hitting other things hit NPR hit MS now hit new republic hit the New York Times.
[SPEAKER_09]: 16 files are missing records about the woman who made a rape claim as a minor against Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_09]: there's there's even more of that CNN found another thing more than 100 images in the Epstein files that should have been redacted were not including sexually explicit images of underage of girls and boys yes
[SPEAKER_12]: Children.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, let's just say children.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm in the open.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now now now now they notified the Trump DOJ on Tuesday and by Wednesday, those were gone.
[SPEAKER_09]: But there are millions of pages of course out there.
[SPEAKER_09]: And as you noted yesterday, when we were talking about mislabeled files and things.
[SPEAKER_09]: The MP4 files, they were the quote-unquote PDF files that were going to be four files, which, for those of you who aren't computer savvy, here's the thing, most computer platforms, whether you're Mac or PC, you're letting them have a three digit suffix.
[SPEAKER_09]: that tells the computer what the type of file is.
[SPEAKER_09]: Like a text file is.txt.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you change the name of the file, if you change that suffix, it doesn't change the contents of the file, but it changes what programs can read it.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is the equivalent of putting a sheath over a key.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can't open the door.
[SPEAKER_09]: but the key still in there.
[SPEAKER_09]: Tech to key out of the sheath, in other words, put the right suffix back door opens.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, for those of you who are not tech savvy, now you know something a little more.
[SPEAKER_09]: But these files are great, but you need people to testify.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hillary Clinton testified today, and she really didn't tell anybody anything.
[SPEAKER_09]: She has no knowledge.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, she, she called this last week when she was talking to the BBC, here I got this on the DVR.
[SPEAKER_01]: They want to pull us into this, to divert attention from President Trump.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not complicated.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is so obvious, and they keep trying to divert, look at this shiny object.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to have the Clintons, even Hillary Clinton, who never met the guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to have her there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's focus on what's really happening here.
[SPEAKER_01]: You have an attorney general and a justice department attempting to hide information that should be made public.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hillary Clinton, two things in 30 seconds, because that's who she is.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, I could have testified to the same information that she had.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it's like, or, or, and most people here in the barn.
[SPEAKER_12]: The obbsesca is in the Epstein files.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I heard about that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I forgot to mention that when he was here last night that okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: So so Bob is in the Epstein file.
[SPEAKER_09]: So Stephanie Stephanie and John, who'll be here later tonight.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: So we we know.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm just searched for me at this point.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've already searched for me.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not there, but.
[SPEAKER_09]: I haven't searched for me at God only knows.
[SPEAKER_09]: But here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: When you know people, it's, and when you know somebody, look, the whole Kevin Bacon thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Six degrees of Kevin Bacon.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm two degrees from him.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I, in fact, actually, I would be willing to bet that you are one degree.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know somebody won't actually met him.
[SPEAKER_12]: So I'm, so I'm not even, but yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, my sister was in a movie with Brad Pitt and Brad Pitt was in a movie with Kevin Bacon.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, right.
[SPEAKER_09]: But I'm saying, since you've literally met him, you're zero degrees.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: What's that?
[SPEAKER_09]: But I'm going look.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is not uncommon.
[SPEAKER_09]: The thing about the Trump Epstein class and thing about the folks at the Country Club,
[SPEAKER_09]: Muffy and Buffy, how are you doing?
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, sorry.
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't like this.
[SPEAKER_12]: I have my teeth together at all times.
[SPEAKER_09]: I have my teeth together at all times.
[SPEAKER_09]: The thing about it is whether these people are good or bad.
[SPEAKER_09]: Certain people economically, oftentimes, meet in certain circumstances.
[SPEAKER_09]: When you pour and you hang out at the bodega, you know everybody in your neighborhood.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know the people in your neighborhood.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know you're going to see there.
[SPEAKER_09]: When you come to the bar, not just our bar, but you know your local bar, wherever you at.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, there's a group of people you go and see there.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's just the people.
[SPEAKER_09]: You got a grocery store.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you go to grocery store at the same time every week, you're going to see people there who you know when they are probably in a similar economic classes, you otherwise they have somebody else that store for them.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is just the way this goes.
[SPEAKER_09]: We all know this is how this particular thing works, but it works in the in the Trump Epstein class too.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that's the thing that I think people need to understand about all of this.
[SPEAKER_09]: When people say, oh, they knew it's not like they knew all the details, but there are a lot of people who knew enough.
[SPEAKER_09]: And we, we were going to be talking about all of that type of stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: Obviously, there are some more stories there in the news on tap, including, we've been looking at the locker thing, the locker thing to start to come up a little bit more, disturbing inventory list discovered for one of six storage lockers maintained by Epstein over a 16 year period, worth at least looking at.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, you know, there's video, I mean, it's
[SPEAKER_12]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yep, and also Julie K. Brown has a new piece in Miami, Harold.
[SPEAKER_09]: She gave it a click to all of us.
[SPEAKER_09]: How Jeffrey Epstein sought to infiltrate the justice system.
[SPEAKER_11]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_11]: Shocker.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because remember, people who have a lot of money can push the justice system around, which is why there are more people who, including me, say, should be called legal system, because that ain't just.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, it is a Thursday night.
[SPEAKER_09]: We are glad you guys are hanging out with us, obviously.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have a pretty good drink of the day, you know, it's, it's, it's another goat, our kisser.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, that's exactly right, we're just going to hit you right in the kisser.
[SPEAKER_09]: Plus, obviously, more news on tap and John Fugel saying to fresh in your drink and hang out with us this Thursday evening.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you for being here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh yeah, Thursday nights here at the politics bar, Jodie's dancing, hopefully you are too.
[SPEAKER_09]: We love the music.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you so much, Lonnie, the politics bars.
[SPEAKER_09]: He just, you know, he said, thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, if you don't understand it, it helps if you listen more often.
[SPEAKER_09]: Which you can do if you listen on the podcast, which is fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: Of course, you can also go over to YouTube and check out some of the stuff we've done there.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're on YouTube.
[SPEAKER_09]: We also happen to be on all kinds of other social media as well, blue sky and threads, Instagram, Facebook,
[SPEAKER_09]: We did name it because of the fact that she dead names his daughter.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, there you go.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I'm fine with that.
[SPEAKER_09]: But look, you can reach out to what's on any of those platforms at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you can always call us in the bar line and leave a message as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: 213-677-7758.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's 213-677-727258 or 213-677 salt.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you very much, everybody who reaches out and says hello in whatever way that you guys happen to do that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Which?
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, that's that that's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: We we appreciate everybody reaching out in whatever way that you do that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm trying to try to find the the comments from somebody on that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I I have my notes here as you know, Jody.
[SPEAKER_09]: Everybody does, but I I make copious amounts of notes and they're they're all in one document for the week.
[SPEAKER_09]: So in case somebody says, oh, yes, somebody said this earlier in the week and I can just scroll up and usually I can do that pretty easily, but
[SPEAKER_09]: I freakin' lost it today, man, whatever, whatever, whatever.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, point me, so there's, there's, there's stuff going on today.
[SPEAKER_09]: Obviously, there's big stuff with the Trumpstein files.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And Hillary Clinton basically saying that she didn't have any information.
[SPEAKER_09]: There is some other people who obviously are still, um,
[SPEAKER_09]: getting, getting pinged, uh, uh, uh, Borussia brand day.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's the CEO of the world economic form in the head of Davos.
[SPEAKER_09]: Uh, he's been asked to step down.
[SPEAKER_09]: Uh, um, somebody who I've talked to more than once, former Nebraska senator and former governor of Nebraska, Bob Kerry.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: So the Nebraska Republican Party tried to make a big huge stake in deal.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh my god, he, he emailed him.
[SPEAKER_09]: The one I said that, you know, when you're in a
[SPEAKER_09]: Bob Carrey after he did his is stint in the Senate, um, he has gone on to do some academic stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Then Sass also former senator from Nebraska.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's got cancer now, but I guess he's holding his own for now.
[SPEAKER_09]: Anyway, um, he did some some academic stuff too.
[SPEAKER_09]: Bob Carrey was the president of the new school.
[SPEAKER_09]: for, I don't know, like five years or something like that, yeah, new school is no joke.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, it's it's parsing school of design is there, part of the new school, but it also, it costs a lot of money for a lot of the stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: at these days because of that at some point we'll have to talk about colleges and the ridiculousness of fundraising and things for that.
[SPEAKER_09]: But if you are the president or the chancellor or the VP or you are on the board of whatever of any college of universities days, you are going to end up like Hillary Clinton.
[SPEAKER_09]: Post presidency post bills presidency post her senator didn't and Secretary of State.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, yeah You made a whole bunch of people that you don't have a damn clue you shake their hands and whatever Take a picture right cuz here you go and somebody wants a meeting with you Bob carrying was the president of the new school and had about five emails.
[SPEAKER_09]: I guess in the Epstein files Epstein wanted to donate money to the new school So when you're in that class of people that's what you do
[SPEAKER_09]: You hear the phrase, you may have heard the phrase that some of these people in this class say would take a meeting.
[SPEAKER_09]: I could think, that's what they're doing.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're going and having lunch, and half the time it's so that some donor can get a picture and say, I met with so and so, and then pretend that they know them.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's a muffin buff thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was at an event with Carol Burnett.
[SPEAKER_09]: Ooh.
[SPEAKER_09]: What was the event?
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, I went to Jody's house.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, no, I know somebody that is really that person that's right, you know, but and it's frustrating is hell because that's just it's fake and it's it's bull crap, but if you're somebody like Bob carry should he have known yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Should he have shunned him?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Did everybody else in the muffin buff class in the Trump Epstein class?
[SPEAKER_09]: Were they all like whatever?
[SPEAKER_09]: Because do they all know that there are a lot of people in their class of people who feel that they have impunity?
[SPEAKER_09]: Feel that they can do things and not pay attention to law?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: If all of those people turned out all of the criminals that they know,
[SPEAKER_12]: And that's what they're scared of.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's what Pam Bonnie said.
[SPEAKER_12]: If we arrest everybody, the society would fall down and let it fall down.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's just like, you know, it's like tiny Johnson.
[SPEAKER_09]: He is his comment this week.
[SPEAKER_07]: We lost the midterms, heaven forbid.
[SPEAKER_07]: If we lost the majority in the house, it would be the end of the Trump presidency in a real effect.
[UNKNOWN]: So.
[SPEAKER_12]: Don't great.
[SPEAKER_12]: Don't try now.
[SPEAKER_12]: So it's a good time baby.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, that's the whole thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: That is that's one of the biggest things about the accountability factor.
[SPEAKER_09]: The Democrats are running on and pushing on is the fact that they're like, I don't care if Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and whoever the power else.
[SPEAKER_12]: Bob Kerry, I mean, you know, right.
[SPEAKER_09]: He had a step down like I like Bob, but Bob did the right thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: He did.
[SPEAKER_09]: He just, he just went, okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, he's on the board of this alternative energy company.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a good company, but he's like, well, okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm done.
[SPEAKER_09]: Done.
[SPEAKER_09]: Smart move.
[SPEAKER_09]: But that's the kind of thing that says to you, you're like, okay, they know that that's that is the level of accountability to which they should be held because they should have done something and they didn't there are lots of levels of accountability.
[SPEAKER_09]: Today, well, I just got to get props to Representative Robert Garcia who has been brilliant.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's so good.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, today, during, during the hearing, you'll never guess who leaked out a picture.
[SPEAKER_09]: of Hillary Clinton, but this is a close or here.
[SPEAKER_09]: You don't leak out pictures or anything.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is against the rules of the committee, um, I mean, that's up to Comer to put anything out.
[SPEAKER_12]: He's the head of the committee.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, Benny Johnson, this right-wing propaganda's douchebag, put out a couple of pictures that he got because Lauren Bobert was giving him a hand.
[SPEAKER_09]: Not like that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_09]: Maybe she did, but that she sent him a couple of pictures of Hillary Clinton.
[SPEAKER_09]: One of which we have in our collage, our news collage and the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thanks, Bobo.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's bar.com.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thanks.
[SPEAKER_09]: Lauren, thanks for you, Gip.
[SPEAKER_09]: giving that picture out.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not going to.
[SPEAKER_09]: You were drinking when I said that.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I wasn't want to spit take exact right.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the funny thing is is Robert Garcia as soon as that happened, they sent somebody out and immediately explained it.
[SPEAKER_09]: The Democrats on the committee have this down now.
[SPEAKER_09]: They know exactly the Republicans want to take any of the testimony from Hillary and from Bill.
[SPEAKER_09]: And.
[SPEAKER_09]: change the framing and cut it apart and they're not letting them do it.
[SPEAKER_09]: When this happened, they sent it out.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hillary from the get has said, Hillary Bill from the get have both said, you want to justify finding let's do it out in public.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's do it in front of the cameras.
[SPEAKER_09]: When when they sent that picture today and there was an uproar in the committee, Hillary again said, why don't we just let the media in?
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's let the press in.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: We got the story on that.
[SPEAKER_12]: She has no problem with that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Robert Garcia right after, they'd gone about five hours I think of hearings, he comes out and, well, the areas.
[SPEAKER_06]: So sets a precedent, so I want to be very clear that we have said from day one that we want to talk to former President Oaklandan, which they'll do tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_06]: Another person we want to talk to is current president Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_06]: We should be very clear.
[SPEAKER_06]: But now that we're going to hear from former President Clinton, I hope that Chairman Comer and the Republicans will join us in demanding that the person who actually appears more times in the files than the former president who we want to speak with is President Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_12]: He also appears more times than Epstein.
[SPEAKER_09]: mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, but look, that's that's the thing is this this that's what Republicans were terrified of.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Republicans were terrified that this would in fact set precedent and Democrats like Garcia are saying, Oh, no, you're terrified press set press.
[SPEAKER_09]: I guess what it does set precedent and we would absolutely love to take advantage of that precedent.
[SPEAKER_09]: So Bill's going to be here tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_09]: Y'all.
[SPEAKER_10]: Bill's gonna be here tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_10]: He's gonna say, uh, I didn't really, uh, know the whole long time.
[SPEAKER_12]: I was on the plane, but I was doing Clinton charity stuff.
[SPEAKER_10]: I was on the plane.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I was doing, uh, no, not that.
[SPEAKER_09]: address me hello kill me now yeah especially I you were you and I were talking earlier when we came in before we got the mics on and and yeah if I mean especially everything that that she's had to go through because him that's the only reason that they had her there today of course to embarrass her
[SPEAKER_12]: and she's like whatever if you can if you look at the at the picture that's in the news collage in the news on tap if she looks like when she was testifying before about Benghazi she's got for 11 hours right or on the board I you're not going to do anything to me whatever you do spags can keep doing this but we all know exactly what this is all about and trust me had it was were there to be anything that bill needed to say she knows
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: By this point, I'm almost certain she probably does.
[SPEAKER_12]: Because she's like, babe, nothing.
[SPEAKER_12]: Babe, honey, love you, but.
[SPEAKER_09]: But, right, but that's just it.
[SPEAKER_09]: The whole thing is, these are people who are in their class.
[SPEAKER_09]: They meet them at perfect example of this.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm not imputing you.
[SPEAKER_09]: But you've gone to, you've gone to plenty of, you've gone to plenty of red carpet events.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I avoid the carpet itself.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, yeah, but I mean, you've worn Bob Mackey.
[SPEAKER_12]: I have one jacket, yes.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, no, and he did give me when I was not many for an Emmy.
[SPEAKER_12]: I did wear a Bob Mackey.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, but this is my point.
[SPEAKER_09]: There are lots of people in this country.
[SPEAKER_09]: Never worn a Bob Mackey.
[SPEAKER_09]: They've never been to a red carpet event.
[SPEAKER_09]: They've never been to an event like that.
[SPEAKER_09]: They find it amazing.
[SPEAKER_09]: That you and I sit here and talk about
[SPEAKER_09]: People that we've met that we've known especially you because you know some of the people that that that are in their their phones and their TV boxes and their computers They've seen in the big screen that they've heard in the radio and the podcast and and I mean, you know, and you know your mom.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean we love Carol, but they're like, oh my god, you know, they're like to hurt it's Carol, but not you're like it's mom.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, that's mom.
[SPEAKER_12]: I get that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, you're like, you would, you would, I mean, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_12]: Meeting buildings last night was like, ah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I, for me, it's one of those weird things of many, many years.
[SPEAKER_09]: I spent about 10 years when I was doing music radio, where I did not pay for a ticket.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Danny Show.
[SPEAKER_12]: Ten have to.
[SPEAKER_09]: no, but I did pretty much have to work every show because I was doing both classic rock and country music and I did a couple other things in there, did a little little hard rock or whatever.
[SPEAKER_09]: But when I was doing these things, especially in the one town where I spent the most of the time on the air, people would recognize my voice.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'd go to my wife and I would, she got to the point where she hated the fact that I was on air.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'd go to a restaurant and we're sitting there talking and somebody comes up and goes,
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I'm the web monkey.
[SPEAKER_09]: When you go, when you are one of these people and you go from a private moment to a public moment, it's different like, right, it changes the way that you do your life.
[SPEAKER_09]: But that's a function of being involved in media and in that class of people.
[SPEAKER_09]: The fact that they bump into gelane and Jeffrey in different things, they probably go...
[SPEAKER_12]: They were sold in those circles.
[SPEAKER_09]: right.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a factor of being in the Trump Epstein class.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Doesn't necessarily mean that everybody in the class knew that because everybody the country club doesn't know everybody else is dirty laundry, but some people the country club do know some people's dirty.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well that was the pictures of Hillary with Weinstein.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: And it's like okay.
[SPEAKER_12]: the people that knew knew she was not in that world she was married to at the time of politician not the same world.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right exactly that's not like it's not like you know Gwyneth Paltrow and others that were threatened by him.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: that's different.
[SPEAKER_12]: And their boyfriends and husbands, they all knew.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's different.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hillary Clinton in a photograph with Harvey Weinstein, who raised money for her husband and her, is different.
[SPEAKER_12]: And he is an awful, awful human being.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I, but this is glad he's in prison.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is, and I'm sure she is too.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sure both she and Bill are glad that he is, that he is gotten.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's accountability.
[SPEAKER_12]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: And this is hard, I think, for some people to separate the fact that just because somebody is in a different class or a different group of people, not everybody who is a mechanic is a foul mouth, misogynist, fact I know I've known some, some female, some great female mechanics and not everybody in the Navy swears wait.
[SPEAKER_09]: Sorry, that's that, yeah, that's everybody in the Navy's works.
[SPEAKER_12]: My dad was a Navy guy, so yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, me, Malcolm, you're bad.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm scared.
[SPEAKER_09]: Just how we are folks?
[SPEAKER_12]: I swear like a sailor when I'm not on this show.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, good.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, anyway, but the point is that not everybody in that class, but there are enough people who were in that class, just given the fact that how much, I mean, you know, like with Bob Kerry, Bob Kerry had a few launches with Jeffrey Epstein who wanted to give money.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't think Bob Carrey probably could have picked Jeffrey Epstein out of a line-up unless, you know, without all the media stuff, he would have been like whatever, some jackass donor.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because Bob Carrey probably had five meetings a day at some points.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I'm glad that he's done the right thing.
[SPEAKER_12]: I am too.
[SPEAKER_09]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_12]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_09]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_09]: You got to evaluate this stuff and look at it in a little bit more detail than just paint the broad brush.
[SPEAKER_09]: Everybody who's rich sucks, not really.
[SPEAKER_09]: In this case, there are very clearly some people who knew some stuff with the F-steen files.
[SPEAKER_09]: We want to find out more, and one of those people, as we damn well know, is Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_09]: Anyway, look, somebody who happens to be in the class of actor folks that you may have
[SPEAKER_09]: I won't give any more away than that.
[SPEAKER_09]: You want to know what it is.
[SPEAKER_09]: Fresh enough of your drink and come on back.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a Thursday night.
[SPEAKER_09]: Here's the politics bar.

[SPEAKER_09]: And I realized that he is a unique class of people.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was definitely.
[SPEAKER_09]: Just, I mean, the history is great.
[SPEAKER_09]: I added a couple of things in there, but overall, I mean, I think you did a great job on this one now.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, thanks to his website.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I mean, let's, it's helpful to have that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Who are we talking about and what are we talking about?
[SPEAKER_09]: I guess I should say.
[SPEAKER_12]: Ralph Cramden, no, it's not Ralph Cramden, true.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, it's called a honeymoon cocktail, and it's in, he would be 110 today.
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't think he'd want to be honored.
[SPEAKER_12]: I wouldn't either.
[SPEAKER_12]: His name is Jackie Gleason.
[SPEAKER_12]: For those of you that watch The Honeymooners.
[SPEAKER_09]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_12]: He was born today in 1916.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, the interesting thing about Gleeson, he had an older brother who died, his father left him, his mother was a subway worker.
[SPEAKER_09]: She was Catholic.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, but he basically knew that he wanted to be an actor.
[SPEAKER_09]: He basically found out when he was in school, in high school.
[SPEAKER_09]: Did a class play, found out he loved it, skipped the rest of school.
[SPEAKER_09]: anyone out and became like a master of ceremonies and a stand-up comedian um and you know some people you don't think oh glamour and glitz people don't realize Jackie Gleason was successful during the great depression.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah I mean nobody goes working.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, but Jackie was he and he was working four and five jobs.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was at this club at that club and doing this and doing that.
[SPEAKER_09]: He gets obsessed because mom did.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, you're right.
[SPEAKER_11]: She died of sepsis and you know, 35.
[SPEAKER_11]: So he was anybody.
[SPEAKER_11]: He was a lover.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was 19, but he did what a lot of entertainers do, which he moved in with a couple of friends in New York City.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then he got a line on a gig.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that line on the gig led him to another gig, which led him to another gig, the full history is great.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think it's fantastic.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, you know, he was a little bit of a flander, we've got some of the stories on that in there too.
[SPEAKER_09]: But he was real.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh my god, and there's there's so many, I mean, if you look, especially like the second half of his career, the things that he did from music to TV producing and
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh my, I beg you for Tejas, exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, he was, he was really impressive.
[SPEAKER_12]: He was.
[SPEAKER_09]: And from every story that I've heard, there were occasionally times that he could be a jerk, but most of the time he was pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was pretty good to work with.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was about being a professional.
[SPEAKER_12]: He was a professional from what I understand, yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, which I think is just fantastic.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I'm glad you picked the honeymoon cocktail for today, Jerry.
[SPEAKER_12]: And then we get to the moon, Alice.
[SPEAKER_09]: The moon was baby.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, you know, to the recipe.
[SPEAKER_12]: And Lonnie was so cute.
[SPEAKER_12]: Because you know you can AI it.
[SPEAKER_12]: So she can head him back now.
[UNKNOWN]: Hahaha.
[SPEAKER_12]: You can totally take a photograph of him doing this, and then she just rub them into the line.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's where I'm like, I hate it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I hate it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not a big fan of AI.
[SPEAKER_09]: There are things that it can do, and that's not what they're trying to have it do.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've got an AI story.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'll have to talk about that a little bit later as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_09]: What is Ian the Honeymoon cocktail, the drink of the day?
[SPEAKER_12]: What you need is a shaker, a shot glass, a strainer, a pre-chilled cooclass, two ounces of calvados or another apple brandy, a half ounce of fresh lemon juice, a half ounce of carousel or quantro depending on your flavor.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, so now you've got the apple flavor in there.
[SPEAKER_09]: You've got the lemon juice to kind of make it apple lemonade.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're adding in kind of the orange touch.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're going to give it more of the citrusy height.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_12]: And a half ounce of Benedictine, not.
[SPEAKER_09]: Not back teen.
[SPEAKER_09]: Benedictine.
[SPEAKER_12]: But not back teen.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's still here.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's backteen even the thing anymore.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think so.
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_12]: Just walk it off.
[SPEAKER_12]: Put some backteen on it.
[SPEAKER_12]: And then you need a garnish with some lemon twist.
[SPEAKER_12]: So here's what you do.
[SPEAKER_12]: You add all your ingredients to the shaker.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, add ice and shake until it's cold.
[SPEAKER_12]: You strain into your poop last and you garnish with the lemon twist.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's a very simple drink to make.
[SPEAKER_09]: I like it and it seems like a very refreshing It does, I had very much like the honeymoon cocktail One of the things that I did, I stuck the quote in there from him, I saw that and I love that Jackie always said this is one of the quotes from Jackie Gleason he said If you have it and you know you have it then you have it If you have it and you don't know you have it you don't have it But if you don't have it but you think you have it then you have it
[SPEAKER_09]: exactly exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean talent is talent will out, but you may not have talent, but you've got the luck and the timing and you take advantage of that, you could become a huge star.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you work your ass off, and we know a lot of people who have, so look, if you guys missed any part of the drink of the day, y'all know what to do, just subscribe to politicsbar.com.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right, uh, we usually do some entertainment stuff here, uh, after we do the drink of the day, which, you know, kind of, uh, I get sense today.
[SPEAKER_09]: It absolutely makes sense today, uh, Netflix CEO Ted Serando, supposed to be visiting Donald today to talk the Warner Brothers bid.
[SPEAKER_09]: But I'll tell you, he has been pretty clear about the fact of this is business not personal and he had really give a damn.
[SPEAKER_09]: And here's now, here's another way that you know he doesn't give a damn Netflix is going to release a four part series about Rupert Murdoch's family drama.
[SPEAKER_12]: I cannot wait to watch that.
[SPEAKER_09]: That'll be funny, but he's also like, hey, and I don't mean the drama will be funny.
[SPEAKER_09]: Maybe he's funny, but he's like, you know, because obviously it's succession, but reality version.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he's like, whatever, this is a good entertainment for him, it's business.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he's making it very clear that he's not going to play the kiss ass game, which I'm kind of glad about that.
[SPEAKER_12]: It'll be interesting, because Paramount is offering a lot to buy all of Warner Brothers stuff.
[SPEAKER_12]: Whereas Ted Serrano wants to buy some of it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, not all of this.
[SPEAKER_09]: At the same time, there is all kinds of quiet discussions as I'm sure you know, between the unions and things and basically saying they do that, they're going to go in and try to change the content and we will blackball them.
[SPEAKER_09]: Even if they have half the industry, screw it, half the industry won't be working for them.
[SPEAKER_12]: So, I mean, it's bad as the merger is for anything.
[SPEAKER_12]: Netflix is the better merger.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's not a great, but you know, it honestly seems like Serando's what he cares about is having the businesses do their business.
[SPEAKER_09]: And while, and that's really what you should care about.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, you don't want them.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, here's an example of what not to do.
[SPEAKER_09]: The view censored will be Goldberg today during the honor of discussion about Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein.
[SPEAKER_12]: what did she say I didn't you didn't you didn't go through it.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's from entertainment weekly.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you guys want to you can click through it is in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um so this is sometimes they could do it by editing but this is one of those moments where they did what they shouldn't do where they actually cut the hosts on air microphone which means it was somebody in the control room.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, now, some people say that she appeared to use a vulgar word.
[SPEAKER_12]: She's smart enough not to do that on air.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: She's been doing this for way too long.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: She didn't, she didn't use a vulgar word.
[SPEAKER_09]: But when a producer does that kind of thing, what they're trying to do.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because remember they can hear it.
[SPEAKER_09]: They have a, oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And they can hear it.
[SPEAKER_09]: And what they're trying to do is
[SPEAKER_12]: So that's, and she was ignoring, said producer.
[SPEAKER_09]: She was like, whatever, because she's freaking, you know, she's what'd be Goldberg.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's smart.
[SPEAKER_12]: She knows what she's doing.
[SPEAKER_09]: And she's one of the two most powerful leads on that show.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And one of the more powerful people still in Hollywood, she can do the house you want.
[SPEAKER_09]: So suck it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Karen Johnson is her real name.
[SPEAKER_12]: Thing is she never acts like a Karen.
[SPEAKER_12]: No.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, not that, sorry.
[SPEAKER_12]: Are you left Karen from Chicago?
[SPEAKER_09]: care for Chicago gave she sent me through the ether that look.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, I'm starting to call them bondies.
[SPEAKER_09]: Ooh, that is a good label for them.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, because and also then that doesn't insult all the people named Pam.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: So usually the people named Pam, they're kind of nothing really sticks to them.
[SPEAKER_09]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_12]: Anyway, that's my best friend's little
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, there you go.
[SPEAKER_09]: Pamela is that's that's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: But did Bonnie's we can call Bonnie's instead of care.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm I'm going with Bonnie's.
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: That that I got nothing wrong with that.
[SPEAKER_09]: More entertainment news here.
[SPEAKER_09]: Children's hospital there is a children's hospital is being renamed for the one the only valley part.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're going to translate into a pediatric hospital.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, I have a, um, there is the daughter of some acquaintances of mine from Nebraska.
[SPEAKER_09]: They, they used to have a date.
[SPEAKER_09]: I told you, I mentioned this group before.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm all very late.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I like them.
[SPEAKER_09]: And, and the, the, there is a up-and-coming country star.
[SPEAKER_09]: Her name is Bells.
[SPEAKER_09]: She goes by Kelly.
[SPEAKER_09]: And, um, she just did a song, Son of Jolene.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah, and dolly part was like I like the song.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, the fact that it actually.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I'm like, well, play girl.
[SPEAKER_09]: So nice little little cal stars doing pretty good.
[SPEAKER_09]: And she getting the the nod from from Dolly.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hey, if she got dolly's blessing, that's going to be a hit.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm hoping so I'm hoping so would be good on that one.
[SPEAKER_09]: We told you a little bit earlier punch the baby monkey in Japan.
[SPEAKER_09]: He is now appearing to be doing better in gaining acceptance of the slowly but surely he's not getting bullied as much.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's, you know, he's still got his stuffy monkey and that's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: But you know, you, you, you hate to see it when it's anybody.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, and in fact, we, we have something as a little bit darker.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'll leave that for next hour.
[SPEAKER_09]: But we're talking about it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Did you know that Jackie and Shadow
[SPEAKER_12]: No, the Eagles in Big Bear.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, she laid another egg.
[SPEAKER_12]: Get out, that's all I got.
[SPEAKER_12]: Second clutch, and it was so cute because she called to Shadow.
[SPEAKER_12]: She was on the egg.
[SPEAKER_12]: She called to him, and he came and landed, and then she got up.
[SPEAKER_09]: She had a flip, some park service has got clips.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh my god, there's a full.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm more than aunties.
[SPEAKER_12]: There's a full camera all the time.
[SPEAKER_12]: And she called to him, and then he flew and landed, and then she got up, and he looked at it, and he was so happy.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's cool.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's good.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hopefully this egg will, you know, make a bebba.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, so that's, look, it's fun to see animals when they, it's fun to see people when they succeed.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's fun to see good things like that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I still like Max Scherzer.
[SPEAKER_09]: He is long since been away from the Washington Nationals, but he's been doing pretty good with the Toronto Blue Jays.
[SPEAKER_09]: Lauren Holly, you know, actress.
[SPEAKER_09]: I interact with her sometimes on threads.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's a huge Toronto Blue Jays fan.
[SPEAKER_09]: is I'm sure thrilled because shares are signed at one more year, $3 million one year deal to stay active at the Toronto Blue Jays.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, you know, that would be good for Max.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm thinking obviously after this year if they do good he'll hang it up because he's been, how old is he?
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm trying to remember how how old Chercher is now.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's got to be in his 80, 40, maybe.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to get what he's 40.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's getting towards the end of his baseball career.
[SPEAKER_09]: But you know, he's always been a good player and he's a lot of fun.
[SPEAKER_09]: And like my cousin Todd, who is here in the bar somewhere, he's got the whole Chromium, Chromatic, you know, one eye is one color, one is the other kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, yeah, it's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know cool people like that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I am not that cool.

[SPEAKER_09]: How was earlier today?
[SPEAKER_09]: I knew you were hanging out over Bob's house.
[SPEAKER_09]: Bob and David.
[SPEAKER_09]: How was that earlier today?
[SPEAKER_09]: It was lovely.
[SPEAKER_09]: Good.
[SPEAKER_09]: I have to ask, did you guys talk anything about some of the immigration stuff going on?
[SPEAKER_12]: we did not.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, because I do know there's some rulings and you know, look here, if you go to the second round of the immigration wars, federal judge ruled that Trump's third country deportation practices are illegal.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I know that it is.
[SPEAKER_09]: Some folks may not know what the third country deportation practices are.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, it's awful.
[SPEAKER_09]: Basically, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's deporting somebody to another country that isn't the one they're from and then having them like deport to another country, it's kind of having somebody else do your dirty work.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, they did that, they did it to a brego.
[SPEAKER_12]: Garce, well, they, they sent it to Panama and then they were going to send them to,
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry to send out Salvador and right there.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're going to try to send them to right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Speaking of which by the way, Kim Marbrego Garcia is now asking a federal judge in Tennessee was doing it earlier.
[SPEAKER_09]: I hadn't seen if the judge ruled on that, but he was asking them to dismiss the criminal case against him because of what did Glenn say was going to happen.
[SPEAKER_09]: The addictive procession.
[SPEAKER_12]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I hope the judge goes with that.
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't know what the judge they pulled.
[SPEAKER_09]: But yeah, I was going to say, probably after we get out of here tonight, I'll go check.
[SPEAKER_09]: But it look, it's clear that it was vindictive prosecution.
[SPEAKER_11]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I'm I'm very glad.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now, the federal judge found Trump IRS broke the law approximately 42,695 times.
[SPEAKER_09]: jodysisers biggest airplanes no kidding.
[SPEAKER_09]: In giving confidential taxpayer data to immigration enforcement officials, I'm liking the fact that while the immigration wars are going on, they're not getting all the wins in.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're getting a lot of wins in and in fact Democrats and four states are now seeking to bar some ice employees from all future civil service jobs.
[SPEAKER_12]: As they should.
[SPEAKER_09]: These are the kinds of things that people should be thinking and innovative ways to do stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, there's legislation.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's always legislation, but legislation is basically what you can do when you're in the majority.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is one of the things that has been some of our former Republican friends have said, this is something that Democrats need to get good at doing is learning how to fight from a minoritarian position.
[SPEAKER_12]: And they're learning, finally.
[SPEAKER_09]: We are.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm glad.
[SPEAKER_09]: I wish it wouldn't have taken this long, but.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: It took them a while to realize that things aren't normal.
[SPEAKER_12]: It took them a good 10 years.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, it started with Newt, but at least it was still kind of normal.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, if we're going back to Newt, that's going back to 94.
[SPEAKER_09]: So that's.
[SPEAKER_12]: We're going with 32 years.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, 32 years.
[SPEAKER_09]: Kind of.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, New was was a normal, a whole of sorts, although in line with who we were talking about last hour with the, the Trump Epstein class.
[SPEAKER_09]: You remember, Newt cheated on his first wife with his second wife to then cheated on his second wife with his third wife.
[SPEAKER_12]: Was it his second wife dying of cancer or was that John McCain?
[SPEAKER_09]: I think it was either his first or second wife that was dying of cancer for Newt.
[SPEAKER_09]: But yeah, that's.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, by the way, didn't you put that in the news on tap today?
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, and it was just what he and I mean Megan God bless her.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean I don't agree with her hundred percent But watching her talk about her dad right you know, there are a lot of people.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, I you know I'm not with Erica Kirk in the whole hot pants and you know F.ing.
[SPEAKER_09]: J.D.
[SPEAKER_09]: Vance.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm just saying maybe she did.
[SPEAKER_09]: Maybe she didn't.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not saying it's she wants to be the first lady Joseph ever something
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, I'm saying, but that might be why Ush is pregnant.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, wait.
[SPEAKER_10]: He's trying it, but is it his?
[SPEAKER_10]: Find out next week.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, that's, but the real housewives of Washington.
[SPEAKER_09]: DC.
[SPEAKER_09]: But there are people that I disagree with who I still, if they have something personal happened to.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: you know I'm I'm very much there but for the grace of God.
[SPEAKER_09]: So here's here's one that will we'll we'll hit a lot of people.
[SPEAKER_09]: So a nearly blind record was abandoned by Trump's border patrol found dumped and dead five miles from where they picked him up.
[SPEAKER_09]: We got the story from the Guardian happens being the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_12]: His family didn't even know where he was.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And and and he it's not like he was he was blind his whole life and it's snow.
[SPEAKER_09]: He didn't know English.
[SPEAKER_09]: He found his way to like, I guess a store or something and got a curtain rod because he didn't have his cane within because they picked him up and left his cane.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, the story is it's horrendous and God forbid, I hope none of that ever happens to anybody.
[SPEAKER_09]: Did any of us know?
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, they picked him up and said he had a weapon.
[SPEAKER_12]: It was a curtain rod to walk.
[SPEAKER_12]: And then they picked him up, took him away, and then dumped him, not where they picked him up from.
[SPEAKER_09]: Just as a way, at the time, in Buffalo, New York, with somebody who didn't speak English.
[SPEAKER_09]: And the way that they knew it in speaking English is they used their translator app.
[SPEAKER_12]: These people are, they're not saying he was murdered.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, but, but you can't track less.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that goes to the first subset in the third round, Trump's cruel and failing government.
[SPEAKER_09]: So the Trump regime has JD Vance, Mr. Davenport himself, went to Minnesota, so he could brag and they could put it on Fox, that they're pausing 250 million and Medicaid funding to Minnesota over non-existent fraud concerns.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Kamala was pissed about this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Kamala is really pissed.
[SPEAKER_00]: I got a president.
[SPEAKER_09]: You'd be hard today, too.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, that should be.
[SPEAKER_00]: So when this guy is up there talking about the economy is roaring and trying to evoke images, I guess, of the roaring 20s of a day gone by, he's lying.
[SPEAKER_00]: Who's it roaring for when you put a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid?
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what, Medicaid funds?
[SPEAKER_00]: Families with children, pregnant women, seniors, people with disabilities, a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid, meanwhile a $1 trillion tax cut for the richest people in America.
[SPEAKER_09]: You got people like Hillary and Kamala, who are not in elected office, and they are still fighting the good fight, doing the things like that for us.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I think that a lot of the mainstream media ignores the fact like that, Tim Walls was out there talking about it today too.
[SPEAKER_09]: And just the fact that, hey, another round of applause.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're just giving applause to Kamala Harris.
[SPEAKER_09]: And suddenly, look who walks in, the one, the only John Feele was saying, made his way to the bar.
[SPEAKER_09]: How are you doing, man?
[SPEAKER_08]: Hello, how are you guys doing?
[SPEAKER_08]: Nice to see you again.
[SPEAKER_09]: I can see it too.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now we were just talking about this totally disingenuous cuts to Medicaid that J.D.
[SPEAKER_09]: Vance is like, oh yes, because they're fraud and it's it's in Minnesota.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, no, there's it's absolutely disingenuous as hell.
[SPEAKER_09]: Kamala Harris is coming against it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Obviously, Tim walls is coming against it.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can a lot of people coming out against it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Even some Republicans who are like, come on, man, the level of minor fraud that's there.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then you look to states, I didn't even put this one.
[SPEAKER_09]: Rick Scott, right, or right now, you've got the governor of Arkansas, former press secretary for Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_09]: Huckabee.
[SPEAKER_09]: And Sarah Huckabee Sanders is even though the people in her state do not want one of those ICE prisons.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's basically trying to run Republicans off for the Republican primary.
[SPEAKER_09]: She wants them to lose people in her own party.
[SPEAKER_09]: So that way, she can put in the people who she wants, who will bless her little ICE prison.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's just, you're saying that people who've been awful for many, many years are being awful.
[SPEAKER_08]: Sean, is that what I'm getting?
[SPEAKER_08]: I think that's, I'm sorry, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, there's some subtext here I know.
[SPEAKER_08]: But you're saying that horrible people who are famous for being dishonest and selfish and corrosive liars,
[SPEAKER_09]: are turning on each other and this is why it's good to have friends come in and give their perspective because of the fact that yes you're you're right I mean we should we should expect more from them because they're public servants but at the same time they are awful monsters so in that sense no we can't expect a whole lot more yeah I'm keep a sense of humor about it but yes I mean look at it
[SPEAKER_08]: Welcome to the Anthropocene, you know, Donald Trump told us lie about the the Haitians again.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Saying that these pirates and people, people who knowingly voted for a felon.
[SPEAKER_08]: are really angry that some brown people might have done something illegal.
[SPEAKER_08]: So this is one of my favorites to raise the talk about because the media will not talk about it at all.
[SPEAKER_08]: But we've been hearing all about, you know, the fraud, the fraud of the, the, these, these these, these semallions.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, the semallions in Minnesota, you know, for people who hate fraud, but love Donald Trump, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: This is a big thing.
[SPEAKER_08]: So they're having all these investigations into Minnesota businesses.
[SPEAKER_08]: that the treasury claims ran this large benefits fraud network.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: Businesses running benefits fraud.
[SPEAKER_08]: What we're talking about is this.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's private contractor.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: The Republican Party demands you privatize this stuff.
[SPEAKER_08]: Charity, let a private company can give that out better than the government, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: And whatever Republicans demand, they demand to, they demand you privatize everything, but they also demand
[SPEAKER_08]: no oversight, no accountability.
[SPEAKER_08]: So these charities that were supposed to be taken care of Somalian families ripped off the government.
[SPEAKER_08]: The state investigated, so there have been consequences already, these Somalian families were the victims of private contractor fraud.
[SPEAKER_08]: and Donald Trump is selling it to the racist that the Somalians committed fraud on us and that's why Christians are demanding that poor kids don't eat.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: Feeding our future was the company and private non-profit operators still more than $250 million right of money and really happened but they've gone after them and also the thing that Republicans now
[SPEAKER_08]: Don't care about fraud.
[SPEAKER_08]: You don't get to support Donald Trump who stole from Americans with a fake online universe It was banned from running a charity because of charity fraud Convictive tax fraud.
[SPEAKER_08]: He made us feel bad for the IRS I mean, you you don't say you don't like fraud.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's like that's like saying you you don't like adultery But you like Donald Trump, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: And it's said they're trying to smear the Somali Minnesotans.
[SPEAKER_08]: Defund the public services and lo and or a lot of lies in scapegoating the Somalians were the victims of the fraud and now they're the victims of the racist and power.
[SPEAKER_09]: 100% agreed John look before before Donald Trump was told to hate Somalians.
[SPEAKER_09]: If somebody had said you know what Somalians means and he would have said I have a Somalians of money.
[SPEAKER_09]: So that's just you know that's that's Donald Trump for you.
[SPEAKER_09]: We will obviously talk about Donald Trump and his ridiculous
[SPEAKER_09]: Not state of viewing because there weren't people who were talking about the state of the union and they were not in Congress that night Obviously we got a few other things.
[SPEAKER_09]: We were gonna talk with John Feeble saying about it is a Thursday night.
[SPEAKER_09]: John is here.
[SPEAKER_09]: Jodie's here I'm here.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're here.
[SPEAKER_03]: So fresh in your drink and come on back We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar
[SPEAKER_09]: It is Thursday night, here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thursday around here, you know what that means.
[SPEAKER_09]: The one, the only John Fugelsag, one of our favorite people.
[SPEAKER_09]: He also happens to be a brilliant broadcaster, podcaster, and author.
[SPEAKER_09]: Best selling author.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly on both coasts, both New York Times and LA Times.
[SPEAKER_09]: Which, you know, look, if you guys have not gotten his book yet, you absolutely should.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's working on another one just for you.
[SPEAKER_09]: So you better get the first one if you don't have it already.
[SPEAKER_12]: And my mom loves your book, by the way.
[SPEAKER_12]: She read it.
[SPEAKER_12]: She read it, huh?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, what did you make of it?
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, I didn't know we did.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_08]: Please thank her for her.
[SPEAKER_12]: I will.
[SPEAKER_09]: Very cool.
[SPEAKER_09]: Maybe maybe she'll blurb you for the next book, you know?
[SPEAKER_08]: She might.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm going to get in trouble with the next one.
[SPEAKER_09]: Like you've ever not, I mean, you can come on, you know, you get in trouble occasionally when you do things.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think all of us, I If there's good trouble and I think there was a lot of good trouble this week with the state of the union.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was I was really cheered by all of the the what I think of as real people regular people in so many different ways doing things.
[SPEAKER_09]: A lot of our friends.
[SPEAKER_09]: We had cliff in earlier this week
[SPEAKER_09]: and Cliff and Brooklyn Dad and Joe Joe were all at the Oblivre at the State of the Swamp event.
[SPEAKER_09]: Then a Joian and Katie Feng.
[SPEAKER_09]: They were doing the the People's State of Union out on the Mall.
[SPEAKER_09]: There was a lot of alternative events and a lot of people were talking about what they believed the State of Union was without
[SPEAKER_09]: hearing Donald's lies.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I know you guys want serious exam.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, obviously, you know, Donald's garbage fest was during what would normally be your show.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I know you guys didn't event too.
[SPEAKER_09]: How's your handle it?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I just want to start by saying a moment of silence for all the fact checkers who have made it home still.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's been a couple days.
[SPEAKER_08]: For Daniel Dale, call their wives and said, honey, I'm not going to make it back tonight.
[SPEAKER_08]: So thoughts and prayers.
[SPEAKER_08]: Quite a speech.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm calling this one wine comp, wine comp, you know, I don't want a bad man.
[SPEAKER_08]: Adrian Brody said it was too long in self-indulgent.
[SPEAKER_08]: So that take take from that what you will, but you know long as long as long as I mean this festering frauds fascist fire hose of falsehood fabrications, you know, and look we we had to go live on the radio
[SPEAKER_08]: and and and we said hey can we play something else like can we play like you know I don't know what her ocean of footage instead or like no no go with that so we had we had parents we thought how can we actually do it
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, for the people who will, and we thought, well, in fairness, there might be a lot of people who just would rather not look at him while he does it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Maybe they're of the folks out there who want to be informed.
[SPEAKER_08]: They don't want to watch him while he does it.
[SPEAKER_08]: So what we did was live fact checking the entire time.
[SPEAKER_08]: This was the longest, longest, longest state of the union history.
[SPEAKER_08]: It dragged on like one of Trump's marriages, just went on and on and on, but we never escaped it.
[SPEAKER_08]: 10 longest speeches ever given by presidents to Congress, nine.
[SPEAKER_08]: of the top 10 are Donald Trump and Bill Clinton.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I see.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Who knew those guys had anything in common.
[SPEAKER_08]: But so so this for many people have required a lot of needed life fact.
[SPEAKER_08]: And needed a half time show is what it needed.
[SPEAKER_08]: Kid rock to come out and grab his junk in front of a Confederate flag.
[SPEAKER_08]: So the Christians are happy.
[SPEAKER_09]: But so he wouldn't be able to lip sync to it.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you know, look, they expect you to do it live.
[SPEAKER_09]: So.
[SPEAKER_08]: You call it lip syncs or I call it the amazing ability to hold the mic to feet from your mouth and the sound still sounds pristine, that's a bit of a joke.
[SPEAKER_08]: So we did live in fact check in the entire time.
[SPEAKER_08]: By the second hour, we had Lary Daniel Davis from Series XM Urban View and I just took her on for an interview for 15 minutes and it was still churning away when I came back.
[SPEAKER_08]: afterwards we did what broadcast TV will never do we let the audience give us their thoughts and we took listener calls nice for what people felt and what they're you know actual actual fact checking real time and all night I asked people to you know call us and let us know what they wanted to fact check the most so I
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm glad you did.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look at the, well, little that we do know about that.
[SPEAKER_09]: The CNN did an instant poll right afterwards.
[SPEAKER_09]: And the people that they did instant polling and MS now had a group of people and they talked about it too.
[SPEAKER_09]: First of all, people were not happy.
[SPEAKER_09]: Second of all, people wanted him to talk about the two things basically that we have said that Democrats should talk about, affordability and accountability, especially affordability, and that he spent less than three minutes on affordability in that hour and 47 minutes.
[SPEAKER_09]: He spent less than three minutes, or as Jody said, Stormy Daniels went, wow, three times as long.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the fact of the matter was to have all of that.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then you had Abigail Spanberger afterwards.
[SPEAKER_09]: She was great.
[SPEAKER_09]: And she focused on affordability and accountability.
[SPEAKER_09]: And was it in a kitchen?
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, God, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: They produced it right.
[SPEAKER_09]: They put it in the right rights.
[SPEAKER_09]: You and I talked about that, Johnny.
[SPEAKER_09]: The whole thing, they put the setting right.
[SPEAKER_09]: They had the audience.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_09]: they they finally freaking got it right and it was it was really and it was just to me it was hardening to see all these other people going.
[SPEAKER_09]: We know that he's a jackass and we know that he does not speak for us.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it's great to hear which you guys did on Series XM for it too because that is another example of just that of going we know he didn't speak for us.
[SPEAKER_08]: Look there's the thing yesterday I I I set up late working on um.
[SPEAKER_08]: A comprehensive fact check guide.
[SPEAKER_08]: I was going to open the show with a 20 minute monologue debunking all the lies And around six p.m.
[SPEAKER_08]: I was like, you know what?
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't even care.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, because everyone knows right everyone knows everyone knows and the ones who know know The ones who don't know don't want to know right else not going to be swayed by fact-checking the cult likes a big strong rapist who lies to them and And the smart people already know it's all lies and after the smart people didn't watch so it's like yeah
[SPEAKER_08]: All I got to say about that is George W. Bush has not been invited to the last five Republican national conventions.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_08]: Like you think it's going to end well for this guy.
[SPEAKER_08]: He lied.
[SPEAKER_08]: It was embarrassing.
[SPEAKER_08]: It went on forever.
[SPEAKER_08]: and it's it's already for God and it's not going to help the Republicans.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, the house majority is razor thin.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're about to lose another one.
[SPEAKER_08]: When you set when you are so horrible, your mistress sets yourself on fire.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, I know, you know what, if you drive your wife to suicide, you can be director of health and human services, but if you drive you are married, mistress to suicide, you might not be able to stay.
[SPEAKER_08]: and help Mike Johnson protect.
[SPEAKER_09]: We were we were we were going to talk about that one.
[SPEAKER_09]: So for those of you who missed it, it's in the fourth round under more news to drink about Congress has problems and one of them happens to be named a representative Tony Gonzalez even above all wants him to resign.
[SPEAKER_09]: there's a ton of Republicans here's the thing for those of you who who have forgotten math let me run the math for you.
[SPEAKER_09]: There are 218 Republican members of the house right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: There are 214 Democratic members and there are three vacancies and it takes 218 votes to pass anything and representative Tony Gonzalez.
[SPEAKER_09]: So this guy down in Texas.
[SPEAKER_09]: where the Texas Republicans have a lot of problems right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: We can talk about that a little more, too.
[SPEAKER_09]: But he was so awful, uh, his mistress, who was married, who, husband.
[SPEAKER_09]: her widower husband has now said I have all the texts and I'm willing to share even more of them and if you think he was bad before I have a whole pile of stuff that shows that he was even worse than that he was not going to public interest at what are what are Republican supposed to do they are running their ass away from it as fast as they what are they supposed to make johnson supposed to do and come out and say oh no we're against adultery
[SPEAKER_08]: And then go bow to your golden orange calf.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, like, what are they supposed to do, Sean?
[SPEAKER_05]: But I've been feeling he's so big about John.
[SPEAKER_05]: Think about the poor.
[SPEAKER_08]: Think about the poor measles.
[SPEAKER_08]: Think about the weasels.
[SPEAKER_08]: But they put themselves in this position.
[SPEAKER_08]: Where's your compassion, sir?
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry, but I have no compassion for people who have no compassion.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm that's just, you know, I'm not, I'm looking at this going, you know what?
[SPEAKER_09]: Y'all, we told you, we told you not to tie your hoist horse to this, and then you look at the Senate race down there.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh my God, and the voting down there.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've got all of that also in the election land section.
[SPEAKER_09]: So a new poll in Texas, this one from the Texas Tribune, finds Jasmine Crocket leading James
[SPEAKER_09]: and it looks like she's going to be running against speaking of a adulterer uh... the current uh... texas attorney general can be a adulterer a pact and who has had at least to uh... mistresses that we know of and his wife divorced him literally she said for biblical reasons
[SPEAKER_08]: then they don't care.
[SPEAKER_08]: They don't care.
[SPEAKER_09]: But at the same time, the Texans themselves Republicans are freaking out because there's a huge early turnout vote in Texas.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's absolutely outpacing past elections and it is being fueled overwhelmingly by against double digits.
[SPEAKER_09]: Democrats and independence voting for the Democrat.
[SPEAKER_08]: Donald Trump could perform abortions.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, with Avenue.
[SPEAKER_08]: Donald Trump could perform unsterilized rectal surgery on screening veterans with one hand while performing abortions with the other, and they would not care.
[SPEAKER_09]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, you're right.
[SPEAKER_09]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_09]: For the people who are in that cult,
[SPEAKER_09]: they can't be reached.
[SPEAKER_09]: What 27% of 18% I think is actually because if you look at the the favorable unfavorable and then how much they they love or hate because that's really where that divides out and the people who strongly despise Donald Trump believe last when I saw might have been a writer somewhere 47% basically about 50% of the people really hate Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_12]: That would be me.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm there, I'm with you, and they're only about 18% who still really love him.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's the core of MAGA.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's those people who are so far in the cult where they're allowed to.
[SPEAKER_08]: Who are these people?
[SPEAKER_08]: But this is how it's always been.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's nothing really new happening here.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, you know, we've always had one third of us who are conservative loyal to the crown, loyal to Empire, one third of us who are revolutionaries fighting in one third of us who just don't care and want to watch Kardashians on a couch.
[SPEAKER_08]: And that's how it's always been.
[SPEAKER_08]: One third of us would kill one third of us while one third of us watched.
[SPEAKER_08]: And there's nothing happening here that's not all together new, Trump's pretty trashy, but
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm sorry, I always get a sense now of like, oh, this is why when I was a kid, all the grown-ups I knew were so humiliated that Ronald Reagan from the cigarette commercials on Texture Go Star Theater is now the president of the United States.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, it's Ronald Reagan on that first time.
[SPEAKER_09]: First wife, so he could marry his second one, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, and I don't get to judge people for their personal life at all, you know, for me it's the same.
[SPEAKER_08]: And by the way, Jesus never judges anybody for their sexual life.
[SPEAKER_08]: including their hypocrisies about other people sexual lives.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's what Jesus bought.
[SPEAKER_08]: And but fortunately, Republicans don't know Jesus as they have a life threatening allergy to his actual words.
[SPEAKER_09]: Very true.
[SPEAKER_09]: They, they, they, I always love the way that you have put that for years that they just have a fan club, but they don't know the actual guy.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, it's Gandhi said it too.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, I like your Jesus.
[SPEAKER_12]: I just don't like his fans.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, it's a whole Where Trump was this week or relation to a year ago?
[SPEAKER_08]: 26% approval rating nationally within dependent voters 26% approval nationally, okay?
[SPEAKER_09]: What do you have last year?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, only a third of Americans say he has the right priorities 6 and 10 say the country's not strong 57% say the economy's going the wrong direction
[SPEAKER_08]: If the repuls came out yesterday morning showing the people thought Biden was better, but only because Biden was better and Trump doesn't care about the Republicans in the midterms.
[SPEAKER_08]: In fact, it helps trump when the Republicans lose.
[SPEAKER_08]: because then he Trump only cares about I win, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: If the Republicans lose the midterms, yes, he'll get in pitch and we won't get any legislation, but then he can blame all of his failures on Democrat.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: And he can blame all of his failures on Republican.
[SPEAKER_08]: These are great to let him, I mean, if self-trace could power the grid, we'd never need infrastructure again.
[SPEAKER_08]: So this is what's going to happen.
[SPEAKER_08]: And Mike Johnson, who I think is job that was Donald Trump's official diaper,
[SPEAKER_08]: because that seems to be all he does just hold it in for the bad.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's starting to realize that Donald Trump doesn't really care if Speaker Hadkeem Jeffs takes the gavel in January.
[SPEAKER_09]: Did you hear Tiny Johnson actually giving us a dream this week?
[SPEAKER_09]: Let me play this for you, John and Casey missed this.
[SPEAKER_07]: we lost the midterms, heaven forbid.
[SPEAKER_07]: If we lost the majority in the house, it would be the end of the Trump presidency in a real effect.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, thank you, wait, wait, please.
[SPEAKER_12]: No threat, not so with a good time, Mike.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: They are true, dumb.
[SPEAKER_09]: That is, it's something that I keep hearing people say over and over again, that these magamorons, and especially Trump, but the people around him who are trying to do things, they are so dumb, and I laugh.
[SPEAKER_09]: because it was one almost a year ago that you and I came up with that phrase jodie half fascism because they're half-assed and they're fascist.
[SPEAKER_09]: If they were smart and dangerous, we'd all be in real trouble.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, thank God they're still at the balls.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: They can't count their eyeballs and get the same number twice.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, you know, I'm like, whatever, the save act.
[SPEAKER_09]: We all don't want the save act.
[SPEAKER_09]: By the way, if you have not called your Senator today, you should call your Senator, Jody, what is the number if you remember?
[SPEAKER_12]: Two or two, two, two, two, four, three, one, two, one.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, call your senator and yes, I know it's late.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can still leave a message call them and tell them about that they're against the say back.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, yeah, this is the same back as like a balancer who says this clubs for everyone, but only if you have three forms of I think in your original birth certificate and a time machine and the name you had before the page we got involved everybody else come on in go ahead.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, let's just say we've got a piece in the news on tap in the election land section that talks.
[SPEAKER_09]: It confirms data or Jody the data.
[SPEAKER_09]: The new data confirms what you've been saying confirms what several other people have been saying that the safe act, the new one, will actually hurt Republicans more because the people who oftentimes don't have their passports and their other paperwork like that, they're Republicans.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, they're just they're so.
[SPEAKER_08]: Again man that what saves us from fascism in this country is the stupidity of our fascists.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm sorry I'd like to give the Democrats more credit, but Bush and Janie and now these guys I mean, you know why they called it the save act because the we're losing elections because women in minority is keep voting act Didn't poll as well Basically, yeah, well truth is not something that usually polls well with their their base.
[SPEAKER_09]: So that's
[SPEAKER_09]: It is Thursday.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have a break.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've got to go clean some stuff up and pay some bills here, but we do have John Fugel saying in the bar for one more section here.

[SPEAKER_08]: John Feele saying one of our friends is here hanging out with us in the bar and I am I'm sorry guys I'm not I'm off my game today ever since I read that article about how how Robert F Kennedy's junior went fossil hunting in the Dakotas with Jeffrey Epstein and Julie Maxwell the I just came out last week and I'm still off
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, this was 2012.
[SPEAKER_08]: This was after Epstein's convictions for soliciting children.
[SPEAKER_08]: I would say, are you saying RFK when I just, he went fossil hunting with the, this is ruined by whole opinion of Jeff Epstein.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I just, I can't see it in the same way anymore.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I thought I knew Jeff Epstein before I learned how this and now he's so his whole image is Tainted now everything he did is Tainted now.
[SPEAKER_09]: I got to say I think that's propaganda I think it's a lie because we all know Jeffrey Epstein doesn't like fossils He only likes things very younger than 18 so
[SPEAKER_09]: Just saying, you know, when they say he was bossing hunting, I'm like, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: He is not going to the old folks home, looking for girlfriends.
[SPEAKER_09]: That is not Jeffrey Epstein's M.O.
[SPEAKER_09]: And, uh, quite frankly, isn't RFK juniors either.
[SPEAKER_09]: His anti-science, oh God, we got that story in the news on Tap today as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: Under Make America ill again.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh my god did you guys so let our FKs here to explain autism to all of us by the way It's not great.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's so terrific that the Kennedys are still in public service like this RFK came out and said that autistic people will never have jobs Never fall in love.
[SPEAKER_08]: What ever pay taxes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, you had never as a wife Oh, yeah, you said all this stuff and it's like autistic people
[SPEAKER_08]: do all of those.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know what artistic people will never do?
[SPEAKER_08]: Destroy Cheryl Heinz's acting career.
[SPEAKER_08]: People do not have that ability.
[SPEAKER_08]: Only the normal ones with their brainworms.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're referring to this in part because starting co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co-co
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, God, yeah, he has that comment.
[SPEAKER_09]: So RFK's nominee, RFK Junior's nominee to Trump and then Trump blessed it, is Casey Neane's.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, he's not a doctor.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's not a doctor.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thank God.
[SPEAKER_09]: She has, she has her doctor, Rhett.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thank God, we're getting these experts out of here.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, we can do this with an airline pilot.
[SPEAKER_08]: So I'll be leaving the safer.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Normally, to be surgeon general, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: What would you expect, Jody?
[SPEAKER_08]: Like an active medical license, maybe?
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, baby.
[SPEAKER_08]: clinical experience a public health background perhaps maybe widely would be better what about what about someone who just but what about if you had one year where you weren't monetizing al j tapless with that be enough for you because what we have now for a surgeon general no active medical license never finished residency never practiced independently no public health leadership experience
[SPEAKER_08]: sell supplements, endorses, raw milk, skeptical about vaccines, and things birth control pills are a disrespect of life.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is RFK Juniors' Pictor Oversea, American Medicine Friends.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's so far right, the Wall Street Journal, Op Ed Page, which is somewhere around, say, hitler, it's hitler, they're very far right, and even they are like,
[SPEAKER_08]: So they're turning on Trump in general right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, thank you.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, that's how evil rooper it is because rooper it for the intellectuals is turning on Trump.
[SPEAKER_08]: But Fox news for the idiots, it's still an atheist.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's the rooper.
[SPEAKER_08]: So that proves right there the Murdoch's more evil.
[SPEAKER_08]: But you're right, Casey, I mean, like imagine going to medical school and then quitting and then becoming a wellness influencer.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is what I love this arc because that's to me, this is like going to flight school.
[SPEAKER_08]: and then dropping out to be a motivational speaker about levitating.
[SPEAKER_04]: Realizes what she's done.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I want to say one thing.
[SPEAKER_08]: A lot of things I agree with with this lady.
[SPEAKER_08]: On many things.
[SPEAKER_08]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_08]: Let's talk about process foods.
[SPEAKER_11]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_08]: Let's talk about junk food ads geared towards children.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm on television.
[SPEAKER_08]: You want to argue American needs better nutrition and more sleep and less stress in the process.
[SPEAKER_11]: Did you all want to do that?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, but if this lady was to do it, I'm all there, but you the thing is vegetables don't replace vaccines No, and meditation doesn't treat measles and algae tablets don't immunize
[SPEAKER_08]: Children, I mean, quickly, god, no, she doesn't owe it.
[SPEAKER_09]: And she doesn't owe it, you're right.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's I think the thing that is worse is that she literally has the doctorate, the educational degree that proves she knows these facts.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's not like she you know, oh, maybe I read it somewhere.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, she had to take test.
[SPEAKER_08]: She has a piece of paper that officially says she knows these facts And yet she's like yeah, throw it out because she also know she knows Hey, she really wants this job and be she knows that the base already is beginning to hate her Yeah, because she's not anti-vaccine enough because she said vaccine safe lives She's trying to split the difference, right, and that's the part that's creepy
[SPEAKER_08]: Not that she sells glucose monitors to non-diabetics.
[SPEAKER_08]: But I'm not the birth control thing like the contraceptive pills are a disrespect of life They're not she's she's not extreme enough for the hardcore anti-vax wing She's too pro vaccine for the lunatics.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's too vaccine skeptical for mainstream medicine So she manages to stand directly between science and conspiracy and offend both sides But but this is why this is this is why she's there, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: The wellness branding and the vague answers and the It's not that she screams vaccines or poison
[SPEAKER_08]: It's that she refuses to say vaccines save children's lives when asked directly and it's because she wants the job But she doesn't want the base to hate her.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's trying to do both.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's trying to say I believe in vaccines But I'm not gonna tell you to have your children vaccine talk to your doctor because she knows your damn doctor We'll tell you to get the damn vaccine She's trying to have it both ways This is the problem
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, I agree.
[SPEAKER_08]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_08]: When the surgeon that hesitation matters, right, saying ask your doctors, she's too afraid to say, get the vaccine and she wants to be America's top doctor.
[SPEAKER_08]: When the surgeon general waffles on facts, misinformation is going to fill all the gaps.
[SPEAKER_08]: Public health defends on clarity and this lady showed she's not going to bring anything there.
[SPEAKER_08]: She is about her own brand.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: and she's willing to play dumb about vaccines to get power and then tell half truths about vaccines to keep it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yep, amen.
[SPEAKER_09]: And this, and this, that kind of goes, we've been talking about classes of people today.
[SPEAKER_09]: Obviously, the Trump Epstein class.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's a lot to be talking about with that today.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Joe, you're right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Trump's team.
[SPEAKER_09]: But there's also classes of people who love the lies and the BS.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it always pisses me off the people who are anti-trans, and Kansas, who, well, yeah, that leads us to the story out of the kids.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have that in the news to untapped today as well.
[SPEAKER_09]: So in under Mogger's war on LGBTQ people, there's a new Kansas law that invalidates drivers licenses and certificates.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, went into effect today.
[SPEAKER_09]: If more than a thousand transgender people in the state,
[SPEAKER_08]: what the hell did the transgender people ever do to these people not a damn thing in fact what do you mean what do they do they're a vulnerable minority that crappy people are allowed to pick on in person cute yeah i don't right we can't do they can't do it to the Irish and the Jews anymore they can't really do it to the blacks but they like to they can't really do it to the muslims the way they used to back in college but trans kids undocumented people trans adults
[SPEAKER_08]: fake Christians need a group they're allowed to hate and weak men that you don't realize minority they're allowed to pick on look here's the thing about this right it's so evil we are going to be paying class action lawsuits for the victims of Trumpism for years and years Trump will be long gone malania will have married someone else and we will still be paying for the people who are kidnapped and disabled people who were
[SPEAKER_08]: rendition to torture prisons for people who lost their family and had their liberalatives killed in loved ones.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's going to be so much lawsuits about this.
[SPEAKER_08]: This will go before the Supreme Court eventually.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm waiting for our libertarian pals who care so much about liberty and government not interfering in citizens' freedoms to show up and start helping the transgender people in the meantime.
[SPEAKER_08]: In 20 years, they're going to be embarrassed how anti-trans we were back in the 20s.
[SPEAKER_08]: Just like kids today are embarrassed how homophobic we used to be too.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, I mean, a good friend of mine who passed away, not two years ago, when she transitioned, I remember her saying when she got pulled over by a cop once, and her driver's license still had M on it, she got beat up.
[SPEAKER_12]: As soon as she could put the F to be female on her license, she was never worried about being pulled over again.
[SPEAKER_08]: So now today in Kansas, what they have to do is because their licenses are now invalid because they're just persecuting their own citizens.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is government making life harder for tax paying citizens of Kansas.
[SPEAKER_08]: And what those people now have to do is get a ride, because they can't drive legally anything.
[SPEAKER_08]: They have to pay to have themselves take into a DMV where they have to reapply for their own license again with the gender that they don't identify with.
[SPEAKER_08]: because the state doesn't believe in liberty.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's what the story is about.
[SPEAKER_08]: And you're not going to hear these bold, conservative, douchebag podcasts, who's come to the rescue.
[SPEAKER_08]: But that's who trans people need, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: And what?
[SPEAKER_08]: Real men, the people who care about liberty and actual Christians are the ones who should be flying to the rescue of trans folks.
[SPEAKER_09]: And they won't.
[SPEAKER_09]: Democrats in that state, brother David, who, um, uh, he's great by the way.
[SPEAKER_09]: He called by the way.
[SPEAKER_09]: He said, say hello to everybody and, uh, and he says, look, he said, um, uh, you know, there's some crazy stuff going on here.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that is very definitely one of those things.
[SPEAKER_08]: Guys, I got to run.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm so sorry, but thank you for having me.
[SPEAKER_09]: No worries, brother.
[SPEAKER_09]: You got to go do some stuff for sure.
[SPEAKER_09]: You fix them.
[SPEAKER_09]: We understand.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're on the first bar.
[SPEAKER_08]: I've been dragged out of today.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Good night, sir.
[SPEAKER_09]: John, we'll see you next week, brother.
[SPEAKER_09]: You take care.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, man.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is always good.
[SPEAKER_09]: We never get enough time hanging out with you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Never.
[SPEAKER_09]: But, you know, it happens.
[SPEAKER_09]: Tomorrow, by the way, obviously, Karen and Anita are going to be here.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're going to ask Anita about what's going on with the elections.
[SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: Texas, which is going to be great.
[SPEAKER_09]: Malcolm Nance is going to be in next week.
[SPEAKER_12]: He said, sure, why not?
[SPEAKER_09]: which is great and maybe maybe maybe sometimes we don't have some time soon Zach will be Zach walls will be on our show and I cannot wait for him to be on our show because he is everybody in Iowa vote for him Zach is a great guy just in general also like Rob San he's going to be running he's actually running for governor he's democratic candidate there and I know him and I like Rob as well
[SPEAKER_09]: there's some chances to make some changes around the country, and you folks in Kansas, you got some work to do because, um, look, man, your, your trans neighbors didn't do anything other than wake up today, and their whole lives are changed.
[SPEAKER_09]: If they were, if they were Uber driver or a lift driver, they literally just lost their job, they're everything today.
[SPEAKER_09]: That, I mean, this is just, uh,
[SPEAKER_09]: We got to fix things and you got to remember if if if you let the government do it to somebody else Yep, tomorrow they're gonna come for you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, you know, especially for those of you who are in Kansas Y'all step up man and you need to be calling your people and I don't care if there are I or D call them and tell them this is not okay
[SPEAKER_12]: The thing with Kansas is they think that all trans people are trans women and not trans men.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_09]: You always say that they forget about the entire class of people who are trans men.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's like, yeah, that goes the other direction, too.
[SPEAKER_12]: Do they want them going to the ladies' bathrooms?
[SPEAKER_09]: We can't help you out.
[SPEAKER_12]: Do they want them using a ladies' bathroom?
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't think so.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're definitely.
[SPEAKER_09]: We can talk more about that tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know.
[SPEAKER_09]: We got to clean up a few things here.
[SPEAKER_09]: It is Thursday.
[SPEAKER_09]: Tomorrow's Friday.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hey.
