[SPEAKER_16]: Yes, and if they're standing there with their thousand hands, and thousand feet, and giving you the finger, that's a thought.

[SPEAKER_16]: Look, four weeks in a month, $1.50 a week, that adds up to $1.00 a month, but since there's five weeks in March, it's cheaper.
[SPEAKER_16]: Do the math figured out yourself, but you can go, you get the podcast, you get the drink of the day, which, you know, I'm really proud of them.
[SPEAKER_16]: I have a big salute to that one.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you did it, because you didn't like the one I had, which I thought was interesting.
[SPEAKER_16]: I thought it was very interesting, but I thought it was kind of
[SPEAKER_16]: Okay, I could see it that way too, but when you involve murder and things, that's just... No, I'm with you.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm with you.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a real thing!

[SPEAKER_16]: And of course, Karen and Anita from Shubu Politics podcast busy day.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, busy night.
[SPEAKER_16]: So I suppose we should get to the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_16]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_16]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, yeah, the first round of night in Donald and BB's Middle East mess.
[SPEAKER_16]: Um, yeah, we have some more Iran war live updates I believe today is from the New
[SPEAKER_16]: That's a nice word.
[SPEAKER_16]: I know that that's not well, yeah, and I know that's not really news, but so they're talking about obviously the the streets of Hormuz and that it is kind of black.
[SPEAKER_16]: First of all, by the way, it's not a hundred percent blocked.
[SPEAKER_16]: And I think some people have this mistaken thing that absolutely no ships are getting through.
[SPEAKER_16]: A rainy and ships are getting through and Chinese ships because China and the
[SPEAKER_16]: I'll just, I should let Higgs have to say this.
[SPEAKER_16]: He's an idiot and he's so good at putting his feet in his mouth here.
[SPEAKER_12]: Iran has no air defenses.
[SPEAKER_12]: Iran has no air force.
[SPEAKER_12]: Iran has no navy.
[SPEAKER_12]: Their missiles, their missile launchers and drones being destroyed or shot out of the sky.
[SPEAKER_12]: Their missile volume is down 90%.
[SPEAKER_12]: They're one way attack drones yesterday, down 95%.
[SPEAKER_12]: And as the world is seeing, they are exercising sheer desperation in the streets of our moods.
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_12]: Something we're dealing with.
[SPEAKER_12]: We have been dealing with it and don't need to worry about it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: I have a question.
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_05]: If their drones are gone, then why would there any drone, by the way, they can't travel this far, but regardless, why would a drone that no longer exists hit Southern California?
[SPEAKER_16]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_16]: Also, if they don't have any drones and any ships and any weapons, no missile launch or anything, then why aren't we just going through the streets or anything?
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: Because...
[SPEAKER_16]: Except as lion as assholes!
[SPEAKER_16]: Pretty usual, yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: No.
[SPEAKER_16]: No, certainly not.
[UNKNOWN]: Never!
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, other nations, by the way, are already starting to talk with a ran and maybe saying, yeah, the Americans, the Trump folks, we're not with them.
[SPEAKER_16]: We're not with that band.
[SPEAKER_16]: We're not with them.
[SPEAKER_16]: Meanwhile, if you want to know when the, uh, the war is going to end, uh, Donald was talking to one of his favorite Fox idiots, Brian Kilney.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_16]: Here, let me play this.
[SPEAKER_10]: And it's over.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I don't think it's going to be long.
[SPEAKER_01]: So fast when you're going to know when it's over is when I feel it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_10]: Fill it up my bones.
[SPEAKER_16]: What?
[SPEAKER_16]: That's how we know, right?
[SPEAKER_16]: That's that's how we do policy for one of the biggest countries in the world, Johnny, right?
[SPEAKER_16]: When you feel it in your bones, right?
[SPEAKER_16]: That's special.
[SPEAKER_16]: Or yeah, just, you know, hey, you know, we're not going to do a whole lot of side science and the math stuff is all it.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's hard.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's facts.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, we don't do that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Math is hard.
[SPEAKER_16]: Anyway, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_16]: That's just freaking ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_16]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_16]: So yeah, we've got some good stories, and you should definitely read up on those.
[SPEAKER_16]: Military confirmed all six crew members, unfortunately, killed in the Casey 135 of a fueling plane crash in Iraq.
[SPEAKER_16]: Casey 135, by the way, same size, as a Boeing 707, but there's a new going.
[SPEAKER_16]: How big, yeah, it's not a small thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: But before this morning, so they found the two other bodies, I guess.
[SPEAKER_16]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_16]: And here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_16]: Neither on Kilmede or when Kegbrett did his little dog and pony show this morning at the Pentagon.
[SPEAKER_16]: Neither one of them really highlight the very first thing.
[SPEAKER_16]: I saw our former sect at former Pentagon Communications Kirby Admiral Kirby making around today the very first thing that he always did if there was something like that is that that's what that's what you started off the top of.
[SPEAKER_16]: When Biden was in, when Obama was in, hell, when Bush was in.
[SPEAKER_16]: And they did something.
[SPEAKER_16]: And there was a big pile of, you know, a new attack and it killed a bunch of Americans.
[SPEAKER_16]: The very first thing they would say is, you know, blessings, and you know, we feel bad or we're into the family.
[SPEAKER_16]: They would talk about the service you died.
[SPEAKER_16]: Neither of these jackasses.
[SPEAKER_16]: They got to keep the focus on themselves.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, isn't that in the same interview with Brian Kilmead, Donald said, Kilmead goes, is Russia helping Iran?
[SPEAKER_05]: And all says, uh-huh, probably.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yep, Donald admitted that he's pretty sure that Iran is being helped by Russia.
[SPEAKER_05]: And he's, you know, he's behind with that.
[SPEAKER_16]: His boss Vlad is like X-ray on the L. P. Just no, no.
[SPEAKER_16]: So any who, we do have more of the stories on that.
[SPEAKER_16]: Iran is hitting back at the US and Israel by strangling the streets of Hormuz.
[SPEAKER_16]: And yet, like we said,
[SPEAKER_16]: Greg breathes it.
[SPEAKER_16]: Ah, I don't know where about it, right?
[SPEAKER_16]: But he pretty much ignored the troops.
[SPEAKER_16]: They did not however ignore.
[SPEAKER_16]: They have not ignored their social media duties, Jody.
[SPEAKER_05]: I know, I mean, the videos.
[SPEAKER_16]: Video games, mixing up video games and war.
[SPEAKER_16]: Who are these people that are, a cool thing about the age of 14, or at least that's where their mentality is.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, seriously, this is serious business.
[SPEAKER_16]: This isn't a joke.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not fun.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's dumbest.
[SPEAKER_16]: It is some of the dumbest stuff.
[SPEAKER_16]: And we will talk about how the oil, how the whole thing with that is backfiring, how it's actually, this whole war is benefiting Russia and China brilliantly.
[SPEAKER_16]: And it's screwing our economy.
[SPEAKER_16]: We also want to get to this.
[SPEAKER_16]: We've got to cover in the second round.
[SPEAKER_16]: So those shootings.
[SPEAKER_16]: There was one here in Virginia and one in Michigan.
[SPEAKER_16]: the one of Virginia at Old Dominion University, the students.
[SPEAKER_16]: They were our ROTC students.
[SPEAKER_05]: Did they stab the guy?
[SPEAKER_16]: They have not 100% confirmed, but they did not shoot him.
[SPEAKER_16]: They killed him by hand.
[SPEAKER_05]: So that's what's ROTC.
[SPEAKER_05]: They know how to do it.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, and their instructor was the professor that got killed.
[SPEAKER_16]: But the suspect who was killed was a performer.
[SPEAKER_16]: He was a convicted supporters convicted in 2016 of trying to give support to ISIS.
[SPEAKER_16]: And how long was his side?
[SPEAKER_05]: So, but how long was his sentence?
[SPEAKER_16]: That I don't know how long the actual, how long he was supposed to be in.
[SPEAKER_16]: That I, the details are in some of the stories.
[SPEAKER_16]: I don't know if the top of my head there.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_05]: I remember reading it.
[SPEAKER_16]: Right.
[SPEAKER_16]: The FBI did confirm that they're investigating that as an act of terrorism.
[SPEAKER_16]: Now, the shooting in Michigan, a little bit different.
[SPEAKER_05]: I thought it was a ramming of a car in Michigan.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, he rammed his vehicle into the synagogue.
[SPEAKER_16]: Lillard literally drove it into basically the school building.
[SPEAKER_16]: Thankfully, it was only a half day.
[SPEAKER_16]: And they were doing parent teacher conferences.
[SPEAKER_16]: But the preschool was still going.
[SPEAKER_16]: They got like 140 kids out.
[SPEAKER_16]: It was fine.
[SPEAKER_16]: Good.
[SPEAKER_16]: And his security guards shot and killed him.
[SPEAKER_16]: But that guy.
[SPEAKER_16]: Um, he lost family in Israeli air strikes in Lebanon, which by the way, Bibi has been blowing the hell out of Hezbollah.
[SPEAKER_16]: Remember Hezbollah is in Lebanon, you know, I were talking about this earlier.
[SPEAKER_16]: And Hamas is in concept of what is, yeah, Gaza.
[SPEAKER_16]: Palestine, which, um, except for, you know, here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_16]: Hamas sucks.
[SPEAKER_16]: They're terrorists.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, but just because somebody's Palestinian, I would not assume that they like Hamas.
[SPEAKER_16]: Just like if somebody is Israeli, I wouldn't assume that they like BB.
[SPEAKER_16]: Same.
[SPEAKER_16]: Just like if somebody's American, I wouldn't assume that they liked Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_16]: Same.
[SPEAKER_16]: So this guy said, Oh, well, Israel is a Jewish nation and they killed Lebanon.
[SPEAKER_16]: Therefore, I'm going to go after some Jews, which
[SPEAKER_16]: that would be like somebody saying oh well you're an american therefore you like Donald trump so i'm going to kill your family well that's coming unfortunately they're especially because we got rid of all those counterterrorism people those pesky counterterrorism people the FBI they don't like cash betels drinking beer and you know doing UFC matches so oh my god the UFC
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, I know supposed to be, you have, you have, in case you guys miss us, cash retail is having the UFC train federal officers this weekend because don't you know, they know more about what's going on than people who's professional judge.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's agents and students.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not just students.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's agents.
[SPEAKER_16]: Right.
[SPEAKER_16]: You know, people who actually have devoted their entire career to what they're doing, kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_16]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh my God.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is the stupidest timeline.
[SPEAKER_16]: When can I get off this?
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm aware of it.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm going.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, this is this is the meanwhile.
[SPEAKER_16]: The world keeps turning even though this is going on.
[SPEAKER_16]: Trumponomics is failing.
[SPEAKER_16]: Two newly released economic benchmarks proved that U.S. economy was on shake.
[SPEAKER_16]: You're grounded in early 2026, then previously reported.
[SPEAKER_16]: But we knew it.
[SPEAKER_16]: We know it here at the bar.
[SPEAKER_16]: We've been talking about it.
[SPEAKER_16]: GDP has slowed to just basically half percentage, 0.7 percent growth.
[SPEAKER_16]: And you're over in this up inflation was up 3.1.
[SPEAKER_16]: When you add up the numbers, it looks like we could be heading toward stagnation, which is awful.
[SPEAKER_16]: Which we have had in late 70s when that sucked real bad, that was not.
[SPEAKER_05]: All I know is that when we have that, the interest rates go up and then if you have money in a savings account, that's a good thing.
[SPEAKER_16]: camp in americans have lots of less money savings gets where money is actually is in campaigning okay unfortunate remember we had that story earlier sleep one in five dollars has from billionaires or you know dark money groups well those dark money groups went after my friend cat
[SPEAKER_16]: and she's there they're trying to yeah well we're gonna have to talk to cat Abigail about all of this because this is not the first one there have been dark minigrubs messing about in her specific primary her and some of the ordinary yeah for the house for one seat it's messed up I know we got to talk to her about that and we'll talk to her about the good things she's been doing in the course of her campaign and you know see what she thinks her rods are so fresh in your drink come right back we got cat Abigail
[SPEAKER_15]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_16]: It is Friday night here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_16]: One of my favorite people in the world, the one, the only.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm a gazelle.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's in the bar.
[SPEAKER_16]: We're not trying to get a hold of you for a while girl, but you've been busy.
[SPEAKER_16]: You've been doing like all the campaigning stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've been doing stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've been federally indicted.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've been doing a campaign.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've been trying to be the young woman.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've never let it to Congress.
[SPEAKER_09]: God, I've been cat.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've got a lot of stuff going on.
[SPEAKER_05]: The car is the major part.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, kidding.
[SPEAKER_16]: Heater is the focus, but also, by the way, in case you've been so busy, you've missed a little baseball, since, you know, you and I do the baseball thing.
[SPEAKER_16]: Nationals are doing great in spring training.
[SPEAKER_16]: Cubbies are not doing so good, so the Cubbies will do great during regular season, and the Nationals will suck, which is pretty much the normal wave.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, that checks out.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, it's so funny how many things people are like, oh, do you catch this?
[SPEAKER_09]: No, it's like, no, no.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not catching anything until March 18th.
[SPEAKER_16]: For me, for me, for me, to be shows movies, Oscars, you're a little busy right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: So what's up guys?
[SPEAKER_09]: What's up guys?
[SPEAKER_16]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_16]: We're asking you because how is the campaign been going?
[SPEAKER_16]: We know that you have been busting ass in eight different ways.
[SPEAKER_16]: Last time I checked, you are in the top two for the Democratic primary.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now we are statistically tied and within the margin of error of first place.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that doesn't even factor in the, I love the soundboard.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's factor in the fact that a lot of our base are people that don't usually get bold, especially when you're people or when people are in some people immigrants because primaries are created to skew older affluent and with our election system too.
[SPEAKER_16]: So here's here's the weird ass thing because this is this is what brought this to my attention this morning my reached out and was like Maybe she'll have time maybe just saying so I saw this this piece on MS now and I know there's been some chicaneery I pack yes, some other garbage that's been going on.
[SPEAKER_16]: Sorry had you pronounce that?
[SPEAKER_16]: Is it eye pack or is it just garbage?
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_16]: I don't usually
[SPEAKER_09]: I've just never heard APEC sounds like an Apple product.
[SPEAKER_16]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_16]: Let's do it.
[SPEAKER_16]: APEC, it's A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-P-A-I-
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, I would definitely say so considering we we reminded folks we were like, look, this would be like not Republicans and Democrats and independents, but just the Republican party decided to go to the UK and muck about in their election.
[SPEAKER_09]: Which I don't like, baby, because, you know, he went to Delaniwit, hey, Donnie, I got an idea for you, you're a worse, you're a pansy, we should go with Tech, I ran and Donnie went, oh okay, yeah, and I mean, like, it's one of these things where we had this debate and this seemed like a no brainer to me when we were asked myself and the other two candidates both of whom met with APAC, one of whom is actively supported by APAC, but both of them submitted position papers moderator asked if we considered Netanyahu a war criminal.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I was the only one that raised my hand.
[SPEAKER_09]: And there was like, all this talk about like, well, I, you know, think we should listen to international law.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'd probably say under those processes.
[SPEAKER_09]: And no, no, he has a warrant out in the ICC.
[SPEAKER_09]: We don't need to part about netting y'all who being a war criminal.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, we can even even just say, okay, fine.
[SPEAKER_16]: What are the rules about it?
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, have you done these things?
[SPEAKER_16]: He did.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, congratulations.
[SPEAKER_16]: That could be a war criminal.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, that that goes real quick.
[SPEAKER_16]: That's not, you know, that's one of those things.
[SPEAKER_16]: So I'm going to
[SPEAKER_16]: But this is of the only one.
[SPEAKER_16]: This report, we've got it in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_16]: This is not the only time that outside source has been mucking about in this primary campaign, correct?
[SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely not.
[SPEAKER_09]: Give me one sec y'all.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm literally texting about that right now.
[SPEAKER_16]: No, I'm just, I'm just shocked and surprised because I'm sitting here going, this is a Democratic primary campaign for the U.S. House.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: Normally, you don't get these big folks muckin' about that much in, you know, an individual house primary campaign.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, have you considered?
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I'm very, very scary.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm gonna win.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I knew it the whole time.
[SPEAKER_16]: I said next to you more than once, we've talked a bunch of times, you are like least scary.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, unless somebody makes you mad,
[SPEAKER_16]: Then I wouldn't want to cross them, but other than that, I wouldn't want to cross you when you're mad.
[SPEAKER_16]: Otherwise, no, you're like, totally not scary, you're great.
[SPEAKER_09]: But I, I've known we're going to win the whole time because we've been busting our ass to make sure we're actually doing a campaign differently and actually helping people and actually bringing a community together and actually pushing back against fascism.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it seems like a pack and a bunch of other powerful interests realized, well,
[SPEAKER_09]: she's going to win.
[SPEAKER_09]: And so now they are pouring money and have been pushing an influence campaign for the last month with a shady organization that doesn't disclose its funders.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're paying people to say crap things about you on social media and my family and my friends things that aren't true, which is really cool.
[SPEAKER_16]: And are they doing that for any of the other candidates or is it just focused on you?
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm only aware of this, and it says in the briefing that has given to these influencers to talk about me, that to only talk about one or more than one thing negative about myself.
[SPEAKER_09]: And so that's what I'm talking about because I'll investigate the other candidates, none of the other candidates are even named.
[SPEAKER_05]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_09]: It also misbells my name.
[SPEAKER_05]: it's not.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's sloppy work.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: You can double check if you want, but literally we have it right there.
[SPEAKER_16]: It is very easy.
[SPEAKER_16]: ABU, G, H, A, Z, A, L, E, H. Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And like here's the thing, like it's sloppy work, but also to do this.
[SPEAKER_09]: to a researcher and journalist who covers disinformation campaigns, who is who lives with and has been in a relationship with a journalist, a journalist who covers disinformation campaigns.
[SPEAKER_09]: Did you think we weren't going to find out?
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, that's, that's kind of where I'm at.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm like, are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_09]: That's like, guys.
[SPEAKER_16]: No, no, cat, okay.
[SPEAKER_16]: Jody.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm sure cat hasn't heard this because she's been busy.
[SPEAKER_16]: There has been a disinfo campaign about Jody's mom.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: You know who Jody's mom is.
[SPEAKER_16]: Carol Burnett.
[SPEAKER_16]: I feed Carol Burnett.
[SPEAKER_05]: Go.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's a whole thing on Facebook and apparently on YouTube.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, it's on YouTube now, too.
[SPEAKER_05]: A.I.
[SPEAKER_05]: stuff.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, just lying like crazy.
[SPEAKER_05]: I tweeted it out because I have 30,000 followers on Twitter.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I'm like, go, army.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, I blew skydiving because I have 15,000 on blue sky.
[SPEAKER_05]: Go, army, and people are, thankfully, reporting this.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I just, you know, my mom is very good at winning lawsuits that are, you know, libel.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, people forgot that she won, what was that suit again?
[SPEAKER_05]: it was against the national inquire it's uh... it was a nineteen seventy four please have million she's super ten she ended up getting to and then with the peels two hundred thousand she donated money that she want uh... but it took seven years to get to court
[SPEAKER_05]: because she was not going to settle.
[SPEAKER_05]: She was like, nope, I'm not settling.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it was 1981 when she won the money.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it was, you have to learn it in law school.
[SPEAKER_05]: That rocks.
[SPEAKER_05]: It was a precedent setting case.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I just look so fine.
[SPEAKER_05]: Good.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, I hope, look, I hope you this precedent that you said is not just about being able to fight some of this stuff, but also I don't mean this precedent for the campaign.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just mean my trial on May 26.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, yeah, there's that.
[SPEAKER_16]: There's that.
[SPEAKER_16]: Hey, yeah, yeah, you can talk about that.
[SPEAKER_16]: You can talk about that.
[SPEAKER_16]: That's about that too.
[SPEAKER_16]: One way or the other.
[SPEAKER_16]: But I do hope you win the primary because you've been doing some great stuff.
[SPEAKER_16]: Um, you know, obviously one of our affiliates is WCPT.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yay.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: So obviously we hear more stuff about some of the Chicago stuff.
[SPEAKER_16]: And it's great because you have been, you said from the beginning, you wanted to help.
[SPEAKER_16]: I saw the debate, and I laughed that the other candidates were just kind of gobsmacked about wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_09]: She just helping people, they're just commonly in that influence or brief, it literally says in there, to attack us for having our office double as a mutual aid hub.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would
[SPEAKER_09]: Why is it a problem in sincere and being like why doesn't she partner with local organizations?
[SPEAKER_09]: We do that's what that's the point of mutual age how eight hub is yeah like we you know if we have overflow something we try to do that we put our campaign resources during uh the snap cuts to uh sponsoring local food banks like
[SPEAKER_09]: We're here for everyone, but it's insane to me.
[SPEAKER_09]: Nothing in there is about my policy, or my career, or my values, it's like she is an oil baroness, which we all know is true.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, no, no.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, the truth is, by grandfather, was a geologist in Texas, and I'll let you guess what geologists in Texas do.
[SPEAKER_09]: They, uh, for oil, I knew they, yeah, they, they work in oil.
[SPEAKER_09]: So my mom gets like $80 a foil tea per year that she splits with four siblings, um, just fair enough money.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, uh, your mom goes and McDonald's.
[SPEAKER_09]: I get it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it's barely a McDonald's.
[SPEAKER_09]: Uh, it's kind of safe.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, these, 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 uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
[SPEAKER_09]: So, you know, my family's rich, my partner's so rich and all of this stuff about my background that's just like blatantly not true.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then there's the aspect of her, she has, she's operating a mutual aid hub out of her office.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that's bad for some reason.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have clothed and fed thousands of people in our community since we launched this campaign.
[SPEAKER_09]: And just like from a calm standpoint, it seems ridiculous to me.
[SPEAKER_09]: that you would even broach attacking that.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, I don't know, it doesn't make any logical sense, but that's, I'm sorry, the whole thing about attacking you seems illogical to me.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, look, I've said this before.
[SPEAKER_16]: You are further left than I am, you are a little bit more liberal than I am, but I'm old than you, so that's not a surprise.
[SPEAKER_16]: But the fact of the matter is, we've been discussing the campaigns all around the country and discussing how some of the Democrats are finally starting to get it in wake up and great.
[SPEAKER_16]: And I think some of it is because there are more people in primaries like you who are stepping up and saying, if you can't do it, then I'm going to do it.
[SPEAKER_16]: But it's, I don't know if you heard of this guy before.
[SPEAKER_16]: Any chambers used to be in the Nebraska legislature for years.
[SPEAKER_16]: He was the only black man for years.
[SPEAKER_16]: And I didn't always agree with what our new chambers did, but there were a few people anywhere who are more zealous representative of the people that they are paid to represent than him.
[SPEAKER_16]: And you have made it extremely clear that you are also aiming to be in that corner of the world.
[SPEAKER_16]: I want to be somebody who's zealously represents the people who I'm responsible to.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, and I don't want to do this for the rest of my life because I think that legislatures should be dynamic and diverse and reflect the population.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I am here because my specialty is fighting fascists and helping others.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that's what I want to do.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then I want to go back to hanging out with my cat.
[SPEAKER_09]: I want to encourage competitive primaries even against myself.
[SPEAKER_09]: I encourage people to hold me accountable.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I don't think anyone should be exempt from criticism, including myself.
[SPEAKER_09]: But this type of dark money that where you have no idea where this funding is coming from, where even the creators that are being paid to make these smear videos don't know where the money is coming from.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's just everything that's wrong with our politics.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: Look, we talked about it earlier this week.
[SPEAKER_16]: When the journey, did we have that in the news on tap?
[SPEAKER_16]: New study came out that said billionaires and dark money now comprises.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: One percent.
[SPEAKER_16]: of the funding for federal campaigns in the twenty twenty four out is started with buckley and it got supercharged with courses united in the kitchen and then they they got it in the cane find gold i mean it's just yeah and i'm sitting there going are you effing kidding me twenty percent but that is uh... it makes sense as to why so much of our politics is so garbage if all they're doing is throwing bucket loads of money
[SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it's disgusting.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'd love to plug the campaign for anyone listening if this is going out before Tuesday.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's going out tonight.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're doing awesome.
[SPEAKER_09]: You are in the Chicago area from uptown up to Evanson, West of Skokie, and then all the way to Algonquin and Crystal Lake on Tuesday.
[SPEAKER_09]: There is an election.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you can vote now.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have same day voter registration.
[SPEAKER_09]: So if you're not sure if you're registered to vote, you could bring your ID and a piece of mail with your name and address on it.
[SPEAKER_09]: even if you're not going to vote for me we need you to vote.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, but right now there are the two way race and there is one candidate that has been extremely transparent about where she lies about where her policies are who's under federal indictment for standing with my community and there's another candidate who hasn't gained any ground in months.
[SPEAKER_16]: I hope it's this morning by the way.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're going to have for Illinois dot com to donate our volunteer even remotely.
[SPEAKER_16]: Please, I noticed this morning they dropped two more indictments about some of the other people at the Broadview Center that they said that people who were in the same time as you, so I'm like, yeah, that to the people in my case, yes.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: They'll get to drop in YouTube because it's ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_16]: All you're doing is protecting the right for people to protest and trying to help out the people that were likely illegally taken into that center, which, you know,
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you so much guys.
[SPEAKER_09]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've been dealing with like a lot of stuff over here.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_16]: You're, you're, you are, you are, you are, you are busting your ass to try to do all of this.
[SPEAKER_16]: Uh, when, when I, I had no idea a few years back when we, you know, ended up sitting next to each other at the ballgame.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'd be doing the brim waiting for you super hard.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yes, you're my friend, but I also just, I like the way that you're doing this and I wish more people would do this.
[SPEAKER_16]: You got an opportunity to help and you're helping and that's,
[SPEAKER_09]: Thanks so much Sean.
[SPEAKER_09]: I really appreciate it.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was great to see both of you.

[SPEAKER_09]: Candidate.
[SPEAKER_16]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_16]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_16]: All right.
[SPEAKER_16]: That's so bad.
[SPEAKER_16]: Thank you so much.
[SPEAKER_16]: Bye.
[SPEAKER_16]: We'll see you soon.
[SPEAKER_16]: Bye.
[SPEAKER_16]: Kat Abigail here at the politics bar on this Friday night.
[SPEAKER_16]: man.
[SPEAKER_16]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_16]: She thought we were recording it.
[SPEAKER_16]: No, no, we're not recording it.

[SPEAKER_16]: They're going to be coming in as well.
[SPEAKER_16]: Hey, you know what?

[SPEAKER_05]: I think so.
[SPEAKER_05]: You got a great one that it did gotten the way of mine, but it's fine.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm fine.
[SPEAKER_16]: Look, I just threw it out there and it fetched it and I'm, uh, I don't look.
[SPEAKER_16]: If you know, you know, and if you don't, it got wrong back.
[SPEAKER_16]: Indeed, it did.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's the drink of the day coming up next here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_16]: We have a lot of fun.
[SPEAKER_16]: It is fun and I hear at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_16]: Thank you, Kat.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yes, thank you.
[SPEAKER_16]: She is amazing.
[SPEAKER_16]: Look, you can vote for whoever you want.
[SPEAKER_16]: I got my favorite in that race.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm just saying.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, and she didn't even see the rest of my shirt because it says Resist Neo Fascism.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I should have liked it.
[SPEAKER_16]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_16]: I love your shirt that says also it says it in Rainbow Colors, which fascists hate LGBTQ.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, that'd be good.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm wearing my Husker shirt today because my Huskers in the big 10 championship today.
[SPEAKER_16]: So there's that.
[SPEAKER_16]: By the way, we keep up with all the stuff you guys do as well.
[SPEAKER_16]: Thank you to everybody who gets out to us on all of your great social media platforms.
[SPEAKER_16]: Whether you are out to us over on Blue Sky or I know we're on Twitter as well.
[SPEAKER_16]: We're there or whatever.
[SPEAKER_16]: Also, we happen to be on threads and we are on YouTube.
[SPEAKER_16]: And we are on Facebook.
[SPEAKER_16]: We are at the politics bar in all of your favorite places like that.
[SPEAKER_16]: uh, it is, you know, it's time.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's time to do it because that's just what I want to do.
[SPEAKER_16]: I do want to mention a couple of comments, though, from the social media, just because, you know, we're doing that scandal.
[SPEAKER_16]: And Darrell, once again, you guys, you're always going to pick up the peanuts from that later.
[SPEAKER_16]: Um, Scanner was saying, this week, Pete Kegreth said he does not want to fight this war the same way that Bush did Iran.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, Iraq, he's Iraq, well, yeah, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_16]: See, even I get confused, Scanner says that Pete Kegreth is succeeding in not fighting Iran, like Bush fought Iraq, because by this time in the Iraq war, Bush was being lauded as opposed to Kegreth.
[SPEAKER_16]: So.
[SPEAKER_16]: Darrell, by the way, also he's saying about, you know, everything it's going on right now.
[SPEAKER_16]: He says, I'm sorry, but how the hell is the US still hosting the world cup in the Olympics?
[SPEAKER_16]: We were in other country.
[SPEAKER_16]: We wouldn't send our people to my groceries in the US.
[SPEAKER_16]: Let alone compete in sports.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're not going to come.
[SPEAKER_05]: And LA is going to lose it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Tone of money.
[SPEAKER_16]: You know, I like LA, so I hope not, but we'll we'll see now.
[SPEAKER_05]: The tourists are not going to come here.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is I mean, it's he's and then he said oh, I got the Olympics.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I got the world cup.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I got 250.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, he said he got 250.
[SPEAKER_16]: Dude.
[SPEAKER_16]: That was started 250 years ago.
[SPEAKER_16]: You didn't get yeah Like that's why we need a drink so conveniently we have a good honest and faithful drink today in the drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_16]: This one is
[SPEAKER_16]: You know, I love my dog.
[SPEAKER_16]: I love dogs.
[SPEAKER_16]: How's Eno doing?
[SPEAKER_05]: He is well.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's running a muck.
[SPEAKER_16]: A little pup and a few.
[SPEAKER_16]: Runner line.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's going to be 16 in a little over a month.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, that's cool.
[SPEAKER_05]: And he's OK.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's funny because Daisy's been hiding from him.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it's like, he doesn't want.
[SPEAKER_05]: He knows you can hurt him.
[SPEAKER_16]: He's like, I don't mess with cats.
[SPEAKER_05]: He does it like dogs at all, but.
[SPEAKER_05]: Really?
[SPEAKER_05]: No, not at all.
[SPEAKER_05]: But cats, he's like, they scare me.
[SPEAKER_16]: So Eno doesn't like other dogs, but cats, he's like, you know, I won't freak out, but just you stay on your corner of the room.
[SPEAKER_05]: He has a healthy fear.
[SPEAKER_05]: Understandable and every the other morning when he first got here Thursday morning I'm sitting in my chair He's in the chair next to me The lady climbs upon me and he's literally like his chair is kissing mine Okay, but he's passed out and he sounds like this when he's snoring
[SPEAKER_16]: You know the dog snoring away is a little rat terrier.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's adorable.
[SPEAKER_05]: And so she's sitting on me and she's like, I think I want to go smell him So she got down and then went up because his butt was kind of closer So she smelled his butt and then as she was walking away, he went wait, what?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I'll smell her butt So there's been a lot of butt smelling
[SPEAKER_16]: Okay, well, you know, that's that's in oftentimes in dog and cat that's kind of handshake or, you know, wave hello.
[SPEAKER_05]: But she was hiding under the covers when we got home this morning.
[SPEAKER_16]: What did you guys do this morning when we were gone?
[SPEAKER_16]: Run around the house and yell and scream with your dogs barking because there was production in the neighborhood Right you were saying there was film production the neighbors.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it was so funny yesterday They give us a thing at like 430 in the afternoon that we should have signed at 4 p.m Because they were supposed to shoot until midnight and then they shot until well after we were up But it's you 30 and And I was supposed to send this to you at 4 p.m.
[SPEAKER_05]: But I didn't get until 430
[SPEAKER_05]: got you on and look not every set is run as well as a set that's managed by Jody Henry will know I mean I mean I've never had this kind of this production was amazing because I've never had this kind of location management Wow ever in this neighborhood and we've shot a lot of stuff here
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I'm glad I'm glad that they did the ended up being good and decent and it was a Lincoln what is it called the Lincoln the Lincoln lawyer that's it okay huge I mean major production I mean like cool I wish they'd rented the house because they came to the house they did the location manager I have his card he came to the house and he looked at it and he's like no I'm all that would have been like 10 grand probably I would have been a nice little
[SPEAKER_05]: five grand would have been nice.
[SPEAKER_05]: A thousand dollars would have a nice consecutive done my hair anyway.
[SPEAKER_16]: The fact of the matter is it's nice sometimes when you know movie sets come in and but when you're your hobbies the things that you love actually mix with some of professionals.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah what you kind of does in today's drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_16]: What what is today's drink of the day and what is the inspiration for today's drink of
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, since you wrote it, I will still tell everybody.
[SPEAKER_05]: The drink of the day is a good shepherd, and it's a cocktail mocktail.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you for the mocktail stuff.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's National Canine Veterans Day.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: K9s are veterans too.
[SPEAKER_05]: They are.
[SPEAKER_16]: Some of them.
[SPEAKER_05]: And same with the police force.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, the K9s.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, they're important.
[SPEAKER_16]: Look, working dogs, it's a nice little history.
[SPEAKER_16]: I brought up some of this stuff.
[SPEAKER_16]: And actor Leeland Lee Duncan, 1918, was a U.S. soldier fighting a World War one.
[SPEAKER_16]: He's the guy who found Rintin-Tin.
[SPEAKER_16]: Nobody else.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, um, and obviously Rintin 10 famous dog, but then the US military basically let the canine program die out until World War II, and they have kept it up since, which is great.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, no, it helped.
[SPEAKER_05]: They've helped find survivors, uh, and they sniff minds out.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, these dogs are like,
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, there's no, there's no joke about the K9 court.
[SPEAKER_05]: And what they have to do, man, that's dangerous work for training.
[SPEAKER_16]: It is great.
[SPEAKER_16]: But the drink itself, I dig that too.
[SPEAKER_16]: Judy, what happens to be in a good shepherd cocktail or mock tail, depending on how you do yours?
[SPEAKER_05]: Bails.
[SPEAKER_05]: We need a shaker, a strainer, ice, pre-chilled, sling glass, or another, or another of, you know, a highball, anything like that works.
[SPEAKER_16]: The recipe, the recipe recommended sling, but, you know, if you want to do a highball, it'll work too.
[SPEAKER_05]: it's just this thing is a different shape.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's all right.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not going to taste different.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just not for a cocktail.
[SPEAKER_05]: One in three quarters of an ounce of assembly gin that's
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, other regular gin, whatever your favorite regular non-dry gin.
[SPEAKER_05]: And they don't, it's a non-dry, okay, that's important.
[SPEAKER_05]: A half ounce of apparel for the mocktail.
[SPEAKER_05]: You go one in three quarters ounces of liars gin alternative, which is also very good.
[SPEAKER_05]: And a half ounce of liars non-alcoholic Italian spritz perfect.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, that sounds good.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it really does.
[SPEAKER_05]: Great fruit soda, also like that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Half ounce of lime juice.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it's freshly squeezed.
[SPEAKER_05]: Half out of orange just also always freshly squeezed.
[SPEAKER_05]: On two dashes of orange bidders, garnish as an orange, lime, or grapefruit wedges.
[SPEAKER_05]: It all depends because you've got all these flavors in there.
[SPEAKER_16]: Right.
[SPEAKER_16]: Kind of depends.
[SPEAKER_16]: You can do one or in the picture that I found of it.
[SPEAKER_16]: They did all three.
[SPEAKER_05]: I would do that.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm like, whatever you want to have a fruit salad with a drink, I got no issues with that.
[SPEAKER_05]: I have had bloody marriage with all sorts of things and there you go.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like a salad.
[SPEAKER_16]: So how do you put it together?
[SPEAKER_16]: Because there is a little specialty in there.
[SPEAKER_05]: There is.
[SPEAKER_05]: You pour all the ingredients except the soda into the shaker with the ice.
[SPEAKER_05]: You shake until cold, strain into your glass, add ice, and then top with the soda, and then you add your garnish, whatever you desire.
[SPEAKER_05]: And go puppies.
[SPEAKER_05]: And this is a sign for dogs.
[SPEAKER_05]: Wait, hold on, I'll stand for it.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, you're hip and you snap which is kind of you know you're trying to get your dog's attention.
[SPEAKER_05]: Come on buddy
[SPEAKER_16]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_16]: I love that look if you guys have missed if you missed any part of the drink of the day You know what to do just subscribe to the politics bar Peace and news.
[SPEAKER_16]: I was meaning to say this Did not get to it there in our first segment of the evening I saw this here after we'd sent out the news on tap but before we got to the bar to record here DOJ
[SPEAKER_16]: the Trump DOJ got their butt kicked again today.
[SPEAKER_16]: Um, so, uh, Judge Bozberg quashed the subpoenas.
[SPEAKER_16]: Remember that they'd subpoenaed a drone Powell signed to threaten him or no, oh, Judge James Bozberg stepped up again.
[SPEAKER_16]: Remember if if any, you know, James Bozberg is he's not a liberal.
[SPEAKER_16]: He's not a flaming liberal.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, but he's a badass judge.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yes, he, he believes in a lot, if anything, he's, he's, you know, more old fashioned conservative.
[SPEAKER_16]: He said in his ruling today, quote, there is abundant evidence.
[SPEAKER_16]: The subpoena's dominant role, if not soul role, is to harass and pressure Powell, either to yield to the president or to resign and make way for a Fed share who will.
[SPEAKER_16]: So he's like, yeah, there's no evidence whatsoever that Powell committed a crime did anything illegal.
[SPEAKER_16]: So he just went by and Trump, how a super conservative as well.
[SPEAKER_05]: So yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is this we ever had a head of the fed that was not a Republican.
[SPEAKER_16]: Um, I'm trying to think not in our lifetime not that I can yet not any time soon.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, even Democrats put conservatives there.
[SPEAKER_05]: Unfortunately, yes, they don't put Elizabeth Warrens there.
[SPEAKER_05]: They put
[SPEAKER_16]: No, I know.
[SPEAKER_16]: I would like them to put a list with warns.
[SPEAKER_16]: There was a good thing that happened.
[SPEAKER_16]: I can't remember if I got it in the bipartisan thing.
[SPEAKER_16]: The bipartisan housing thing was like 86 to Orteen or something.
[SPEAKER_16]: I mean, it was ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_16]: So she brought along Tim Scott.
[SPEAKER_05]: Which, I mean, hey, help right the bill.
[SPEAKER_16]: So right, but it was mostly worn.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's a really good thing to actually help with housing.
[SPEAKER_16]: Unfortunately, they're saying it is likely dead in the house.
[SPEAKER_05]: Of course it is.
[SPEAKER_16]: Republicans will stop their little feet and wave their tiny Johnson and whatever, but well, they don't want to help us.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, the thing is is when you have, when it's like 80 some odd senators, Republicans and Democrats and independence all on board,
[SPEAKER_16]: at that point.
[SPEAKER_16]: I mean, when you've got, you know, Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and Tim Scott and, you know, who a pretty Brit, I think.
[SPEAKER_05]: I know.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, it was weird.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, there was one Democrat that voted against it because he said it was the language was too broad.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I understand that.
[SPEAKER_05]: because you should be more specific, but I get what he was saying.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I'm not going to disparage him.
[SPEAKER_16]: It was it was super bipartisan across the board.
[SPEAKER_16]: So you're going come on, guys.
[SPEAKER_16]: This is just anyway.
[SPEAKER_16]: So any who that particular thing, it's it's it's more than news based stuff.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm thinking more in the entertainment space, obviously, because we've got
[SPEAKER_16]: David Nichols coming up.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, brother David as many of you know, brother David has hung out and listened in mid part of chat rooms and interacted with everybody from Randy show to staff show Nicole show Tom Hartman show.
[SPEAKER_16]: but brother David, as you know him, also happens to be David Nichols, formerly of the LA Times, critic, theater critic, movie critic, and he knows his stuff on that.
[SPEAKER_16]: So obviously this weekend, it's not only the closing ceremonies of the Paralympics, obviously there's some more big sporting events going on, but also happens to be the Oscars.
[SPEAKER_05]: Wait, that's a, this weekend?
[SPEAKER_16]: Don't go to Hollywood kids.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's already closed down.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not kidding.
[SPEAKER_05]: They closed so many streets.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, because I mean, when you've got that many famous people and also the fact that those people a lot of them are highly ensured and the insurance corporations have said, no, that that's our investment.
[SPEAKER_05]: And they literally take out mailboxes and they close a subway.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yep, it's it's look, but well, we'll talk about the Oscars.
[SPEAKER_16]: We're going to take a break, clean up a few things around here and when we come back, we'll be in with his Oscar preview talking to us about that.
[SPEAKER_16]: Should be good, actually, because Conan is in on that as well.
[SPEAKER_16]: So we'll see whatever brother David has sussed from his crystal ball.
[SPEAKER_16]: That's.
[SPEAKER_16]: The best way I can say it there.
[SPEAKER_16]: Look, top of the hour, you got to do what you got to do.

[SPEAKER_13]: My friend Matthew Warren, who was a friend, literally an hour after that broke the put a picture of him from that interview with McConaughey and said, how quickly someone goes from someone I followed as someone I never want to see again, you know, I'm not a dance person, but the thing is, I'll tell you the thing there is.
[SPEAKER_13]: I am part of that three percent who's been a bell item in since there were four and an opera fall since they were five.
[SPEAKER_13]: And the attention that both those beleaguered art forms have gotten since he made that.
[SPEAKER_13]: I know.
[SPEAKER_13]: Pretty tactless comment is marvelous.
[SPEAKER_13]: So thank you, Timmy.
[SPEAKER_05]: He was still we're got into it.
[SPEAKER_05]: He was like, wait, what?
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm sorry, but he kind of shall make kind of strikes into that, which he did.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe he's a secret ballet guy.
[SPEAKER_16]: 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 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 uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
[SPEAKER_16]: You know, they know you have somebody who listen to the Randy show.
[SPEAKER_16]: You listen to staff.
[SPEAKER_16]: You listen to Nicole Sandler.
[SPEAKER_16]: You listen to Tom Hartman, occasionally you pop up still.
[SPEAKER_16]: Although you're more busy these days.
[SPEAKER_16]: Obviously with the arts center, which we're thankful for.
[SPEAKER_13]: I'm the floating technical person there.
[SPEAKER_13]: You know it.
[SPEAKER_13]: No, exactly.
[SPEAKER_16]: And if you're in Lawrence Kansas, we highly recommend that you donate your Lawrence arts center.
[SPEAKER_16]: Just saying.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yes, please.
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, thank you for that.
[SPEAKER_13]: No, you're for us.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yes, go ahead.
[SPEAKER_16]: But you also used to be one of the critics, a film and theater critic for the L.A. Times.
[SPEAKER_16]: And I don't think a lot of people realize that.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yes, I, and I have to qualify this only in that I rarely got film assignments for the times.
[SPEAKER_13]: I would most of my film reporting was for third-eye film Society out of Talsk, New Mexico.
[SPEAKER_13]: And other than New York Times, film for him back in the day.
[SPEAKER_13]: But no.
[SPEAKER_16]: I work for the New York Times a little bit on the side.
[SPEAKER_16]: LA Times, New York Times, you know?
[SPEAKER_13]: I really, really fell back into the world.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, so here's the key, David.
[SPEAKER_16]: This is the big reason why we got you in, because I don't think everybody realizes.
[SPEAKER_16]: I mean, there's something too that the criticism angle.
[SPEAKER_16]: And we honestly, some people may not know all the Oscars stuff.
[SPEAKER_16]: I mean, they may not have seen that seen all the movies.
[SPEAKER_16]: They may not have heard the lines.
[SPEAKER_05]: I saw six of the ten.
[SPEAKER_16]: OK, which of the six have you seen, Jodie?
[SPEAKER_16]: Yes, please.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, sinners.
[SPEAKER_16]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: One battle after another, my friend's movie.
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, uh, Bagoña.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh my God, that was so good.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, we just watched Timothy's Chalame's movie, Marty's favorite.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, the body's supreme, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: And there's one other one.
[SPEAKER_16]: The body's supreme with all that.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, was it Hamlet or Frankenstein?
[SPEAKER_16]: Frankenstein.
[SPEAKER_16]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_16]: Because there's also the other side.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm trying to train dreams, sentimental value, secret agent, and F1 the movie.
[SPEAKER_13]: F1.
[SPEAKER_16]: Right.
[SPEAKER_13]: Okay, well, I've seen all but F1 because I'm Well, F1 and my hearing is
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm sorry that was a beautiful drop right there because F1.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: Well, exactly.
[SPEAKER_13]: Um, and realistically, I have to jump in real quick and surely relate to this.
[SPEAKER_13]: Because my maternal grandmother raised me because my mother was old when I was little.
[SPEAKER_13]: And she was a movie not.
[SPEAKER_13]: And my earliest memories are being in my playpin while she's watching dialing for dollars on Albuquerque TV.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh wow.
[SPEAKER_13]: And then we'd take me to movies and bargain just like your mother's nanny would take her to movies and that was their escape.
[SPEAKER_13]: And I mean, I saw things that would be now considered totally inappropriate for a child.
[SPEAKER_13]: I saw it in the heat of the night and Jess who's coming to dinner and stuff with my grandma.
[SPEAKER_13]: Oh wow.
[SPEAKER_13]: And I got this incredible film and education without realizing it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: So bringing that up now, the conventional wisdom says that sinners is going to get a surprise water.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think so.
[SPEAKER_16]: I think you're right because because people can say it's between one battle after another in sinners.
[SPEAKER_16]: And then they're like, that's exactly where it's at.
[SPEAKER_16]: Okay, but then do they do they split the baby by giving the movie because because the sinners and they give or hold the director.
[SPEAKER_13]: Lots of us are going to say aren't both directors nominated as well for both of us and I see with me I still think one battle has a big shot at being a bigger winner than sinners, but I think they're both going to take on a lot of I agree on Sunday night.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, I just want to get one finally.
[SPEAKER_05]: I just want Paul to get one finally.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, he's kind of ill.
[SPEAKER_13]: He's going to be losing lucid.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_13]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_13]: He's going to win or I'd have to screen play as Cougar will win a original screen play.
[SPEAKER_13]: Those you can take them that way.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, but didn't Paul win the director's skill to hard.
[SPEAKER_13]: I think he did.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, I see.
[SPEAKER_13]: I think it's going to be a really good night for Paul.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's all a jordies friend too.
[SPEAKER_16]: I mean, that's kind of nice.
[SPEAKER_13]: So yeah, yeah, he's definitely going to win at least one, but I, he's so overdue for director.
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, no, kidding.
[SPEAKER_13]: The thing about both of those movies, they struck forward because they touch on something in the culture.
[SPEAKER_13]: that even if it's only subconsciously, you feel and the thing with sinners, there's still enough people that are even older than me about academy.
[SPEAKER_13]: I just have a little bit of trouble, even in these posts, everything everywhere, all at once years, at seeing them giving the Oscar, the top Oscar to a vampire movie.
[SPEAKER_13]: Right.
[SPEAKER_13]: And for all the brilliance of sinners, and it's a pretty
[SPEAKER_13]: even though it could have been 20 minutes shorter than it was.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're not wrong.
[SPEAKER_13]: It touches on something that this march towards dystopia that we're all in.
[SPEAKER_13]: Right.
[SPEAKER_13]: I think we're out really rallies people.
[SPEAKER_13]: And I think that gives it the edge.
[SPEAKER_13]: If there is a surprise, it's going to be happening because if there's a long jam, we know, those two films, you know, one vote more and ham at the last 15 minutes of ham at once seeing cannot be forgotten.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_13]: I have not seen it.
[SPEAKER_05]: I want to see it.
[SPEAKER_13]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_13]: Do you think, what are you thinking?
[SPEAKER_13]: Do you cry easily, Jenny?
[SPEAKER_05]: I do.
[SPEAKER_13]: Adam and Ruby.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_13]: Take a couple of towels.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: I watched this as us for years.
[SPEAKER_05]: Trust me.
[SPEAKER_05]: I cry.
[SPEAKER_05]: About 40 minutes in anything.
[SPEAKER_07]: He wasted all of it.
[SPEAKER_16]: Number one with that is Friday night here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_16]: I know, I surprised everybody with that one because we're all sitting here in the break discussing things.
[SPEAKER_16]: And I like, hey, let's start.
[SPEAKER_16]: And actually, I just kind of bumped the music.
[SPEAKER_16]: So we just jumped into it.
[SPEAKER_16]: But whatever it's fine, it's fine.
[SPEAKER_16]: We're in a bar.
[SPEAKER_16]: We're hanging out with our friends.
[SPEAKER_16]: It is Friday night and we happen to have Karen and Anita.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, the true blue politics podcast.
[SPEAKER_16]: In the bar brother David said hello by the way.
[SPEAKER_16]: He was just here given us an Oscar preview cat Abigail was here earlier It's been a busy night at the bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, how you got it?
[SPEAKER_02]: How's your how was your week?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been like the stock market.
[SPEAKER_16]: We're all close to that's been like the weather, which is also be.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: Let's see.
[SPEAKER_16]: It was a yesterday, Jody.
[SPEAKER_16]: I think was it Thursday.
[SPEAKER_16]: It was a Wednesday.
[SPEAKER_16]: They did it snowed in the morning and then it melted and only needed a light jacket.
[SPEAKER_16]: I think later.
[SPEAKER_16]: And then I had to put on a heavier jacket after it's predicted.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, here it's been like 45 at night and then by and then by the afternoon.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean,
[SPEAKER_02]: you have to get up and wear a coat and then by the afternoon you're in shorts and a t-shirt.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's like you're now.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just okay summer is going to suck.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_02]: We got a little reprieve with a little bit of a cool weather, but um I'm sure you know, we just had that heat front.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well there's no climate change kids.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, of course not.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, it's only we literally
[SPEAKER_06]: So here in Illinois we had one day that was 70 plus degrees and it was beautiful and everybody was out And the next day, we had tornadoes We had a house star.
[SPEAKER_16]: Okay, but Karen you and I you and I share this one being you know Midwest natives and all you know what you know when I say four season day you know what I'm talking about
[SPEAKER_16]: Okay, this is something that I talked to other people from other parts of the country and when when that when you say a four season day they look at you like you got a second head They're like what the hell?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we know what that means It's like 60 degrees and then it gets there gets up to 80 and that's that's true of the seasons right or what or you wake up and it's 80 and sun are ready And then you're wearing your coat and it's snow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, it's it's having a try to heat her on and morning and the
[SPEAKER_02]: air can shine at night right exactly.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, yeah, it's just it's it's extremes and then I mean and very dangerous and there were a couple people and can't Kiki that were killed.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, and you were saying extremes and dangerous and I'm like wait a minute wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_16]: She talking about the war or the weather.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yes, both because the National Weather Service doesn't have as much people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I was listening to that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm on professional left.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if you all are familiar with that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and they were talking about how they were watching these tornado chacers and these tornado chacers who were there in Illinois in Indiana and they were like,
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just horrible tornadoes coming through and there was no warning from the national weather service and they said they couldn't believe it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, these people were not being told, hey, this is tornado coming.
[SPEAKER_16]: One of the things that one of the things that people haven't paid, I pay attention.
[SPEAKER_16]: One of the things I took a class.
[SPEAKER_16]: I took a couple different classes, two or was it three classes in college.
[SPEAKER_16]: Physical geographies, one of the classes you need to be in your college.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was supposed to be easy.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not an easy class.
[SPEAKER_16]: I know.
[SPEAKER_16]: But it's fun.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's I like meteorology.
[SPEAKER_16]: So I've always thought that's kind of cool.
[SPEAKER_16]: But one of the things I've paid attention to is when they reference, at least here in the DC area, the local stations will reference which of the models they're using whether they're using the US model or what they're using exactly.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yes, and they are using the European model a lot more one of the reasons is dumbass Donnie and his friends Basically gutted one of the big super computers that's up in Boulder that we've been using The forecast the weather and the Europeans keep putting money into theirs where we're like now Let's just rip out the wires No screw this around
[SPEAKER_02]: by tonight is right i mean it's just with the damage that's being done i know right now i don't know how we're ever going to fix this how we're ever going to recover from this it's going to take so much work so much money so much effort right and honestly a lot of patients from the american people that's it when the europeans know everybody else i mean it's going to be like
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_16]: What's the, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's the phrase for it here?
[SPEAKER_16]: Expectations.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_16]: No.
[SPEAKER_16]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_08]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_16]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_08]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_16]: We are going to have to work really hard on our side, managing the expectations, especially of our own people.
[SPEAKER_16]: Because that's one of the problems that Donald Trump is running into right now.
[SPEAKER_16]: We had John, as you know, Thursday nights usually John hangs out in the bar.
[SPEAKER_16]: And while he still doubts this somewhat, I still think it's important, the difference between Maga and America first.
[SPEAKER_16]: Every day I see another story, and we have so many other more important stories that they don't necessarily end up in the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_02]: But they're.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're different.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, they're different.
[SPEAKER_02]: They keep.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's there.
[SPEAKER_02]: But they keep.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know what they say.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a difference.
[SPEAKER_02]: I understand that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Margaret.
[SPEAKER_02]: But Margaret.
[SPEAKER_16]: But Margaret.
[SPEAKER_02]: But Margaret.
[SPEAKER_16]: they believe that Donald Trump is great.
[SPEAKER_16]: They believe white people are better.
[SPEAKER_16]: They believe.
[SPEAKER_02]: You get to smaga.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, America first, but I mean, we'll present such a small percentage that you could really say, you know, these true, true, like right-wing populace.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm so anxious, you know, and economic populace.
[SPEAKER_16]: But, but here's where it matters, and you need a, for example, with the Epstein stuff, all the stuff that keeps coming out about the Trumpstein files, as we say, would not have come out if it were not for the Epstein transparency law, and because of the fact that we ended up getting a few of them.
[SPEAKER_16]: All we needed was a few because right now that's where the balance of power is in Congress is just a handful.
[SPEAKER_16]: If you realize to stop all of this craziness, this insaneness, all it would take is about 10 senators and maybe a half dozen members of the house.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_05]: We could be rid of Donnie and Jamie and everybody, right there, but so, you know, so, right this is my daughter could be president.
[SPEAKER_16]: I would not want Tiny Johnson.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, honestly, that's, I mean, to say, we have to wait, no, we have to wait.
[SPEAKER_02]: But we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll,
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Who's the same phone?
[SPEAKER_05]: Congress again.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it was.
[SPEAKER_02]: But sometimes that's.
[SPEAKER_16]: And that's all we needed.
[SPEAKER_16]: We needed like four.
[SPEAKER_16]: And we got four to get the empty end.
[SPEAKER_16]: Now we're getting so much more stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's the empty end.
[SPEAKER_02]: When it comes to a lot.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything else.
[SPEAKER_02]: When it comes to.
[SPEAKER_02]: When it comes to everything else.
[SPEAKER_16]: when there is a vote on the war stuff and there are going to be more votes on the war stuff.
[SPEAKER_16]: Definitely Democrats are pushing it forward in the Senate.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll need everything to see if we should get any more Republicans to join.
[SPEAKER_16]: But that's that's why I'm saying it's nice to see them having a divide.
[SPEAKER_16]: And it is and even more than that, it also is helpful just as a broad spectrum, because
[SPEAKER_16]: If they are disillusioned enough that they don't believe in Donald Trump and they don't believe in the people who believe in Donald Trump, they may not go to the polls and if they don't go to the polls.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I think it's going to happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: But honestly, I think what's really happening is that because I don't think they have any principles.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just think they are embarrassed because they were embarrassed the first time they got fooled into supporting a war.
[SPEAKER_02]: that ended up being a disaster, all right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Donald Trump gave them a solution for that because he was like, oh, this was such a whole, you know, these guys, these guys betrayed you.
[SPEAKER_02]: They lied to you, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: But now they have a solution.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they fell for the same crap, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because they have.
[SPEAKER_16]: I do think they have principles that they believe in.
[SPEAKER_16]: I think most of the rest of us, I think they are most of the white, white nationalists.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, I mean, Lindsey going bomb bomb bomb bomb on my right hand, but they're they're they're principal they're they're principal they're they're Is he is they're Prince.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, oh my god.
[SPEAKER_16]: Okay, I happen to have that Actually made it Sean one make this the one that Stephanie Stephanie's been playing this on her.
[SPEAKER_16]: Okay, you guys you guys have been here
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_16]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: She played that with I read, she played that with I read balls.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_16]: I have to ask Chris for that one.
[SPEAKER_16]: But the long and short of it with the difference between the two of them.
[SPEAKER_16]: The reason why is that the elections are they are going to be tight.
[SPEAKER_16]: And we do need to get our people out.
[SPEAKER_16]: And we need to get people who are on the fence voting for us.
[SPEAKER_16]: but the more people who also start to see the Trump monsters for what they are to see the fact that they are so stupid in the things that they're doing as far as well like like oh god.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_16]: Did you get it?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: Do you have any of you care any interview to this morning?
[SPEAKER_16]: So Donnie, he went on the killmeed show over on Fox and he was talking to Brian
[SPEAKER_16]: OK, this is this and how Donald says he's going to know that the war is done.
[SPEAKER_10]: But this will bounce right back when it's over and I don't think it's going to be long.
[SPEAKER_10]: When it's over, this is going to bounce right back so fast.
[SPEAKER_01]: When are you going to know when it's over?
[SPEAKER_10]: When I feel it.
[SPEAKER_01]: when he feels it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, because I was about to do this feelings.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: What happened to the, you know, if you're feeling.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm thinking it's become like a 90 to 70 new age guy.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_14]: And then that's the worst going to be fine.
[SPEAKER_16]: And then that was Kegbreath, who's saying that there's this war going on and literally 20% of the oil in the world is stopped right now in the streets of our moves.
[SPEAKER_12]: But Kegbreath is like aspiration in the streets of our moves.
[SPEAKER_12]: Something we're dealing with.
[SPEAKER_12]: Have been dealing with it and don't need to worry about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: He said the, and straight, straight is open.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's so pretty.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just that they're, they're shooting drones.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it's open, it
[SPEAKER_02]: But they tried that with the, um, didn't I want to try that?
[SPEAKER_02]: There's like 60.
[SPEAKER_16]: 16 ships that have been hit and that's the thing is that they don't know and more than that the insurance and the re-insurance companies It's it is still a business and the insurance and the reinsurance companies look if if you are a captain of one of those ships and you decide Well, it's kind of a risk, but we'll take it That's on you and that could be the rest of your career.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're doing
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you're like, I heard that they had no plan for that.
[SPEAKER_02]: They had to look into maritime insurance.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they didn't even thought about that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're telling you that they're distinct.
[SPEAKER_02]: I need to.
[SPEAKER_02]: They still have there.
[SPEAKER_16]: There are still tens of thousands of Americans in the Gulf.
[SPEAKER_16]: I said, you know what, it's such a ridiculous pain in the ass to get out, whatever.
[SPEAKER_16]: We'll, we'll stay and stick it out.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, then they had the super videos that are like video games.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's cool.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's never cool.
[SPEAKER_16]: I agree with you.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's not.
[SPEAKER_16]: But that's, that's their attitude.
[SPEAKER_16]: They go, war is cool.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, when the children, the boys that like those videos have to be drafted, I think they'll change their mind.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, 100% It's like we've got a bunch of 12-year-olds.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, country.
[SPEAKER_16]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, bunch of teenage, bunch of teenage boys, boy, and a bunch of teenage white boys who come in rich families Always And they appeal to the boys that are sitting in their grandma's basement, play a mini Mm-hmm And they're like, oh, that's cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, you're gonna get dressed in now
[SPEAKER_02]: to make it, yeah, to make it sound cool, but, you know, it's not cool.
[SPEAKER_16]: We'll actually not make a man's nose.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's not cool, feel itner knows it's not cool.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, by the way, Phil's going to be your next Tuesday.
[SPEAKER_04]: Katie and Troy was never in New York.
[SPEAKER_05]: She had today on Stephanie's show.
[SPEAKER_05]: She's like, I watched what we did.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, she was she was part of the planning and the execution.
[SPEAKER_05]: As far as I go as far as I go as far as I go.
[SPEAKER_05]: And she's like, oh my god, what are we doing right now?
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: And she has to go to war to see that.
[SPEAKER_16]: That's that's my whole thing to with the difference between splitting the baby between maga and America first is at least the America first people are so stunned.
[SPEAKER_16]: They are so stunned about about both the war and the Epstein files.
[SPEAKER_16]: that so many of them are.
[SPEAKER_16]: They're basically manga people who woke up enough to go holy crap.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh no, I had no, I had no way to put him three times and he's done.
[SPEAKER_16]: because of the empty.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, no, I have 10 years.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's probably done.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Sarah's, what about the separation?
[SPEAKER_02]: And I just don't think there's, these are just Republicans.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were the T-Party.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they're the first, America.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I mean, I mean, I'm not absolving a movie.
[SPEAKER_02]: They go to for George Bush, they go for Reagan.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, these are the same people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry, Matt, can you explain it?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, we're talking about it in terms of how they identify themselves.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, because Sarah's, they're embarrassed.
[SPEAKER_16]: Right, but but the difference with the difference in to me is between the people who are still Completely blinded and if Donald says hey, I need you to go up to the fifth floor of the parking garage and jump off and there you go.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, good balls You go and if it hey if it takes you know 90 years and a day I'm I don't I don't care how long it took We want it we just want to get to a same place in our government
[SPEAKER_16]: I don't even know, none of us get this.
[SPEAKER_16]: But this is the way these people are.
[SPEAKER_16]: I just want to get back to same governing.
[SPEAKER_16]: And if it takes one more day and one more person goes, that's it amount for the crazy stuff.
[SPEAKER_16]: And I'm going to take it.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fun, and they can stay home.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't trust the Democrats vote vote vote vote for the Democrats.
[SPEAKER_16]: What Jody said we're saying all that at least one more.
[SPEAKER_16]: Say you're not going to talk about it.
[SPEAKER_16]: More things to talk about here.
[SPEAKER_16]: We got Karen in a different true blue politics.
[SPEAKER_16]: It is a Friday night here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_16]: Take a breath.
[SPEAKER_16]: Fresh in the drink.
[SPEAKER_16]: Do what you got to do.

[SPEAKER_15]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_16]: it is Friday night here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_16]: It is last call.
[SPEAKER_16]: Although, you know, we got Karen and Anita here from True Blue politics podcast, we will probably go to the after hours with them because there's usually so much that we've just got to keep talking.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's how it goes, you know.
[SPEAKER_16]: You get the four of us hanging around and at course hanging around with you.

[SPEAKER_16]: It's politicsbar.com.
[SPEAKER_16]: Obviously, we were talking about the war stuff, which, you know, I mean, it's there.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's, it is, it is complex.
[SPEAKER_16]: And yet it's not, if that makes any sense at all.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it is, you know, I wonder.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it obviously, you know, looks like we're winning
[SPEAKER_02]: But the truth is, I ran has all this leverage on us with this straight of our moves.
[SPEAKER_16]: So, I mean, and I'm really in many ways winning is a, it depends on how you look at it.
[SPEAKER_16]: I don't necessarily think of winning either militarily because what I ran figured out had a hardest.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: not only does Iran have the streets of Hormuz, and that's been something that saw Dan Dicker again late last night.
[SPEAKER_16]: He was on 11th hour after we got out of the barjote.
[SPEAKER_16]: And he said he's been doing oil trading since 1982.
[SPEAKER_16]: Just after Iran did the the had their their revolution and stuff.
[SPEAKER_16]: So he's been doing it for a long time.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you have a YouTube channel, Mr. Cole, I'll leave him.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm not sure what his YouTube channel is, but Dan Dickers, he's he's considered to be the foremost oil analyst in in the U.S.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been doing this.
[SPEAKER_16]: Uh, yeah, I think so originally.
[SPEAKER_02]: It might be the same guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, could that.
[SPEAKER_16]: But he's great, and what he said is nobody, not us, not the Russians, not the Chinese, nobody on the planet thought about that closing off the streets of Hormuz was an okay idea.
[SPEAKER_16]: Nobody has ever been this stupid to push the Iranians to do this.
[SPEAKER_16]: And continually speaking, a ran picked up some of the crap from the war from Russia's war on Ukraine.
[SPEAKER_16]: Russia has been fighting Ukraine with Iranian drones.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, I know.
[SPEAKER_16]: So a ran figured out how to make these drones and make them complicated, make them cheap.
[SPEAKER_16]: Ukraine has their own drone industry now and they're offering, that's the funny thing.
[SPEAKER_16]: Ukraine is offering their expertise to us.
[SPEAKER_16]: To us.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know they offered it to us, and now I'm telling you, you're blitzky, but Zelensky is stupid, but Zelensky is stupid.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not doing this, honestly.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's doing the rest of him, but he's desperate.
[SPEAKER_02]: But look, Donald Trump has proved you can not trust him.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's over there talking to Putin.
[SPEAKER_16]: I need a hidden trust him.
[SPEAKER_16]: He doesn't trust him, but he's offering an access to us.
[SPEAKER_16]: He's also offering it.
[SPEAKER_16]: What does he get in that image?
[SPEAKER_16]: What's the line ski getting out of it among other things good will with other Well with just me now with in Macron today today he's in he is in here But how to Macron today, but helping United States is not now.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a good offer To play the game.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's got to play the game.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's got to offer.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's it's the appearance
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I know.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know.
[SPEAKER_16]: On top of which, on top of which, he's also now the Ukrainian drone market, if they are basically starting to work with and supply a lot of the European nations that are over there.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_16]: Because remember, they had bought all of our weapons because we were the big, here's this bajillion dollar drone and the Ukrainians are like, okay, for 1200 bucks, I can get you almost the same thing.
[SPEAKER_16]: Also ours doesn't have any Chinese technology in it, so just saying.
[SPEAKER_16]: And the other ones.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's do the technology and make her own.
[SPEAKER_16]: Right.
[SPEAKER_16]: And the Europeans are going to win.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to win.
[SPEAKER_16]: They're going to win.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to win.
[SPEAKER_16]: screw these Americans they're not helping the out on in Europe is the one I have to depend on well he's he is he's playing the long game to be so smart because among other things Donald Trump we all know whether it's what were we rooting for today Jodi are to reach are to reach are to reach at some point it's not going to help for that by the way
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: I want him to die.
[SPEAKER_08]: You want him to die.
[SPEAKER_16]: You want him to die.
[SPEAKER_16]: You want him to be incapacitated.
[SPEAKER_16]: But a weird monster he knows.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want him to suffer.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he needs to be aware of how much people actually hate him.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want him to be exposed.
[SPEAKER_05]: I want him to be aware of how many people actually hate him.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want him to be exposed.
[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, but honestly, if he, if he, if he dies in office, they will make a martyr out of him.
[SPEAKER_02]: They will make it like, we'll have to watch this stupid funeral with these people pretending that this guy was somehow, because they'll forget about all the horrible things.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: They'll talk about this great leader that maybe, you know what, maybe in the end, you got a little crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think so.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's not us, but I'm telling you we're publicans will do that and they will insist on having this grand funeral like he's JFK or something
[SPEAKER_02]: Seriously, and you know like, and you like to watch Melania and her black, you know, I know, but no, Melania will be in white and suck at Kennedy and Melania will have to get to her.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, she'll try to put you on her tent.
[SPEAKER_02]: She will be tent to be Jackie Kennedy grieving like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what she will.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, she's a visionary.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, she's a visionary.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's a liar.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that is lonely at the top.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God, and my creativity, I mean, she was just so cool to be brain.
[SPEAKER_16]: I want to know who she can't be that speech from, really.
[SPEAKER_02]: She actually, I just don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that why she wrote that?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it was, I mean, Jesus.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was okay.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's crazy.
[SPEAKER_16]: They are so they are all very, very frustrating.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's one of the reasons why I look at some of this stuff and just say so one of the sections we have in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_16]: The subsection under the first round called an oily backfire and I'm really sorry that was the title that came to me because it's yeah, I definitely don't know.
[SPEAKER_16]: I mean seriously, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't
[SPEAKER_02]: Hi, I remember that.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have we have a pass.
[SPEAKER_02]: I wrote a name.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what I was talking to.
[SPEAKER_16]: The Jones Act, the Jones Act requires cargo transported by water between US ports be shipped solely aboard vessels that are US built and US citizen owned and registered under the US flag and primarily crude by Americans.
[SPEAKER_16]: It makes it's a pain in the ass for our friends who are in Puerto Rico.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's it's whatever.
[SPEAKER_16]: But among other things,
[SPEAKER_16]: this, this little thing that a lot of people are missing about the Jones Act.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, and then some people have missed the fact that Donald has led up on the sanctions for Russia, which is giving Russia an extra 150 million a day.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, we got the story right there.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're so happy.
[SPEAKER_05]: So amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's letting out a lot of people by oil from, um, well, but who's who are the two nations that are benefiting from from nope China and Russia China.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, no, no, China is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but I meant India is buying that oil.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, yeah, I mean, India's is probably third on the list of nations that are baffeting from Donald letting up on all of this.
[SPEAKER_16]: And you're sitting there going really, and, you know, he's got, he's got a friendship with Modi who runs India as well as that.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I, no, no, a Modi does not like him.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, Donald thinks it's a friendship.
[SPEAKER_02]: He thinks it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: He thinks it's a friendship.
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't want to play Modi.
[SPEAKER_02]: Modi is very angry as an angry at him ever because he keeps saying that he stopped this Pakistan in deal.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, yeah, Pakistan in deal.
[SPEAKER_16]: But if you read, if you read the Indian press, yes, Modi does not like Donald, but if you hear Donald tell it, of course, friends with G's, good friends putting a bit of course, behind his back, they're laughing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you see that the British intelligence said how talked about how they mock him and they were trying to show it to his advisors and people in the White House.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they were like, you know, hey, look, they're mocking him, they are that from buying this bill, BS,
[SPEAKER_16]: And the whole thing is in the meantime, the economy is having problems.
[SPEAKER_16]: The immigration wars are not going well for him.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, he, I don't know if you guys saw this.
[SPEAKER_16]: So earlier today, the court's Judge Boesburg ruled that Donald's DOJ, the
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm just sitting there going, this is just, and I don't know if you guys saw the story too, that Kegbreath has ordered a review of Jag officers, basically, to try to get rid of any of the Jag officers, but there are rules about that inside the Pentagon, too.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, Karen says, Karen is not on the floor.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you see, did you see that report here?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yo, he had him going, come on, why don't you just admit you're gay?
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's see, grab him and say no.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come out of the closet.
[SPEAKER_02]: I do not hear that.
[SPEAKER_07]: I do not hear that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I do not hear that.
[SPEAKER_16]: I do not hear that.
[SPEAKER_16]: I do not hear
[SPEAKER_16]: I really good.
[SPEAKER_16]: I have, well, I recommended her to other people before.
[SPEAKER_16]: I like Liz Landers.
[SPEAKER_16]: She's a very good journalist.
[SPEAKER_16]: And she was the one who the other day was asking Donald she was pressing in my think on Epstein's stuff.
[SPEAKER_16]: And, and they're like, I think he just like walked away from her.
[SPEAKER_16]: He was one of the chopper talk thing.
[SPEAKER_16]: So it's kind of hard to play for other people over here.
[SPEAKER_16]: But,
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to get an older chair.
[SPEAKER_16]: Some of the people in the media, even some of the right wing people who are normally propagandists are starting to ask questions, but I have a line doesn't like and and it's like and they go, but I have to have some basic level of credibility and you go away to be the first of all.
[SPEAKER_16]: you, you know who you are, but even, even they, they work their audience.
[SPEAKER_16]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because their audience is demanding it because they're not happy what's going on.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, they have to be a better rat.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is a sector hearing from their audience.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's why they asked those questions.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know people like Tim Pol and Tucker, you know, thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: People like that are hearing from their audience.
[SPEAKER_16]: I don't have a side.
[SPEAKER_16]: I don't
[SPEAKER_16]: Right.
[SPEAKER_16]: I don't want to side it, Joe, those folks.
[SPEAKER_16]: But at the same time, if we can get them to side with us, just long enough that we can get rid of the monsters, get back the power, and then reassess things, get things set back in the government.
[SPEAKER_16]: So then the monsters will be locked out.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm fine.
[SPEAKER_16]: Whatever it takes to get us to the point where we can get rid of them having control because I'm sorry, but I don't like I didn't like the Bush regime at all, but I'll tell you this one.
[SPEAKER_16]: Bush would have never gotten the ring to close down the streets of our moves.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, that's we didn't go to war with Iran.
[SPEAKER_02]: He wouldn't have done that.
[SPEAKER_16]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I mean, he
[SPEAKER_16]: Nobody is that dumb.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody was that dumb or at least nobody in power was that dumb at that particular time and then there was a Blinken say that they tried to do that Yeah, I would try to pressure Obama Yeah, yeah, go to war with them Yeah, yeah He's been looking for a sucker for years and he don't ever John McCain bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, I'm a king would have got elected.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess he would have had his guy there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think John would have done it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think he could have been there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think when some of people would actually, you know, we got it.
[SPEAKER_16]: We got to close things down here for the live radio folks.
[SPEAKER_16]: We are obviously going to take this to the after hours because we can't stop this conversation now.
[SPEAKER_16]: everybody thank you so much for staying and hanging out with us here at the Polish Times week next week Brooklyn dad to find Phil itner we got Jacob coming to you right we got some of the folks from indivisible coming in so look have yourself a fantastic weekend be safe be smart and we will see you here Monday night at the politics bar
