[SPEAKER_10]: Yes, I know.
[SPEAKER_10]: We're literally like two steps in the door here at the bar.
[SPEAKER_10]: And you guys were like, man, you're mentioning the Huskers already.
[SPEAKER_10]: Hey, it happens to be March Madness.

[SPEAKER_10]: But not too long ago, earlier this afternoon, my Nebraska Cornhusters men's basketball team won and they follow the women who also won their playing game last night.
[SPEAKER_10]: The one men won today, 7647 over these boy Trojans.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a nice score.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, that's that's that's a Charlie and I were back and forth a little bit on time.
[SPEAKER_10]: I bet you know, he and he and honorary cocks were watching the horn frogs.
[SPEAKER_10]: This is one of these things.
[SPEAKER_10]: I know not everybody is into basketball, but it's a nice thing to have.
[SPEAKER_10]: What are ready to use to call on trying to remember?
[SPEAKER_10]: Collective events.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the Super Bowl, like the Oscars, like right exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we're happy and not sad, like 9-11.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I'm not saying everybody, but it's nice that a lot of people.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: And if you take it one step further, if you say that maybe you don't like basketball, but you're happy for your friends that do.
[SPEAKER_10]: man that widens out the number of people who are kind of they know a little bit about what's going on and they're kind of happy so we put links by the way today in the entertainment section of both men's and the women's tournament so if you're like I don't know where I can see or hear the game or whatever you can just go there to the news on tap it's down in the entertainment section and you'll find it there find out where to heck your game is so there you go we aim to please as you guys know
[SPEAKER_10]: How was your day hanging out with Bob and David today?
[SPEAKER_02]: I did.
[SPEAKER_02]: We had a lovely time and I had to translate Donald and that's very difficult.
[SPEAKER_10]: He's, look, he is, well, when he says stupid things, which is pretty much every day.
[SPEAKER_10]: But today, today was the Pearl Harbor, literally and figuratively of him saying stupid things.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, I played this for you.
[SPEAKER_10]: He didn't have a cut, did he?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, he did not.
[SPEAKER_10]: OK, I've got the cut.
[SPEAKER_10]: For those of you who missed it, Donald Trump had the relatively new Prime Minister of Japan, a woman, that they're sitting there.
[SPEAKER_10]: Any obel on the little chairs doing the thing.
[SPEAKER_10]: Here, let me just roll this from the DVR.
[SPEAKER_06]: One question, why didn't you tell U.S. Alliance?
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, in Europe and Asia, like Japan, about the world.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, what is your telly album?
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't.
[SPEAKER_06]: Very cool.
[SPEAKER_07]: Cute.
[SPEAKER_07]: Tell me.
[SPEAKER_07]: One thing, you don't want to signal too much, you know, when we go in, we went in very hard.
[SPEAKER_07]: And we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise.
[SPEAKER_07]: Who knows better about surprise than Japan?
[SPEAKER_07]: OK. Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?
[SPEAKER_14]: OK.
[SPEAKER_10]: The look on the prime minister's face.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I bet she was horrified.
[SPEAKER_10]: There was a picture like a second or two after that I took that I put in the collage to the news collage where she's got her hand up in kind of half-least, serapticiously tapping her watch.
[SPEAKER_10]: Like, okay, let's get the F out of here.
[SPEAKER_10]: But the look at that moment when he said that her jaw just literally dropped.
[SPEAKER_10]: She had that.
[SPEAKER_10]: I cannot effing belief.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are several problems with what he said first.
[SPEAKER_10]: Several, several.
[SPEAKER_10]: Joe, you're so generous.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, first off.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, we are allies with Japan now.
[SPEAKER_02]: We were not then.
[SPEAKER_02]: Secondly, um, it's not like they said, why didn't you warn Iran?
[SPEAKER_10]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that would be like Japanese people warning us in 1941, not 1941, not 1961, 1991.
[SPEAKER_02]: But then there's the whole thing of him saying, why do you tell me?
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, why don't you, well, but is he at the overlook hotel?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, seriously.
[SPEAKER_10]: Also he wouldn't have been born then right this is why we're with this is why how it was he at the overlook hotel like Jack Nicholson in 1921 But then there's also the whole thing of you know if If you happen to have somebody who is a friend of yours and Maybe you have like an uncle who everybody's got that uncle uncle be referred no fence the cool view for it's out there But now uncle be referred who says a few things now and again
[SPEAKER_10]: And you're like, oh, no, whatever, but your friends like, oh, come on, I'll meet you over to your house and then we can go out and you're like, okay, fine, whatever.
[SPEAKER_10]: And you're hesitant to have the meat, so your friend comes over, young, roof, new for it says, hi.
[SPEAKER_10]: And you would told your uncle, youford, who your friend is.
[SPEAKER_10]: And your uncle is like, oh, wait, wait.
[SPEAKER_10]: In that the friend who's dead, after those little girls, and now he's in prison,
[SPEAKER_10]: And you're like, okay, yes, that my friend's father had an issue and they, whatever, and if they, you know, look, we got it, they got accountability and that's fine.
[SPEAKER_10]: Just don't tell them about it.
[SPEAKER_10]: So your friend comes in a house and the first thing your uncle be afraid says is, hey, how's your dad to kid effort?
[SPEAKER_10]: And you're like, that is the equivalent.
[SPEAKER_10]: Only
[SPEAKER_10]: This is the leaders of major first world nations.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't wait for him to talk to the German chancellor at this point or the Spanish, I don't I don't think he understands what Spain had to do with World War II.
[SPEAKER_02]: on or Italy, um, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: So only Germany and in Japan, most likely.
[SPEAKER_10]: And Russia, maybe.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the Russia helped us in more work too.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, right, but he and he and he, I'm sure still thinks the Russia is helping us now because they're helping him.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, they're helping Iran.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, which is a whole other.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, we're helping Russia rushes helping Iran, it's just the dumbest thing and you're sitting there saying, uh, I won't play it because there's a little translation in there, but she basically turned to him and was like, um, well, you know,
[SPEAKER_10]: The things are not exactly great because of this war in the Middle East, and in fact, it's not just my economy, but the entire global economy is now screwed to Pooch, but she did it in such a very diplomatic fashion, because that's what you do at that level, and you can just see the look in his faces that flat, dumb look of the others.
[SPEAKER_10]: she literally said to him in diplomatic speak.
[SPEAKER_10]: You've now screwed everybody economically worldwide because of your stupid stupid war in response to him going, hey, what about Pearl Harbor?
[SPEAKER_02]: And he, right over his head, he's, he's a child and he's boring.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's, he's boring.
[SPEAKER_10]: He's, he's, he's stupid and he's boring.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, it's like,
[SPEAKER_10]: But if Donald Trump had to pick a final four, or if we had to pick a final four for him, the four traits that would currently kind of represent where he's at, I think his final four bracket would look like fear, failures, stupidity, and war.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm kind of going with that.
[SPEAKER_10]: because what the hell?
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh my God.
[SPEAKER_10]: And then his gutless, just absolutely cowardly, a national security folks, it should be called the national insecurity folks, because you could tell their absolutely insecure.
[SPEAKER_10]: Cash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, some of the others, but I just, wow, I don't know what Compromat he has on these people, because he has to, at this point.
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't know if it's Compromat.
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't necessarily think that it is.
[SPEAKER_10]: Some of these look cash betell one of the job.
[SPEAKER_03]: He did.
[SPEAKER_10]: So, among other things, he could do what he had accused previous FBI directors of doing.
[SPEAKER_10]: Use the plane, go, John Tri, got to go to my country, song, girlfriend's little thing in Nashville, and I'm going to go over to the Olympics.
[SPEAKER_10]: He wanted to do the things that he was accused because as we know when it comes to these maggots, every accusation is an admission of guilt.
[SPEAKER_10]: This is who they are.
[SPEAKER_10]: This is always who they are.
[SPEAKER_10]: This is always who they bid.
[SPEAKER_10]: So I don't necessarily know that he had compliment.
[SPEAKER_10]: These people all looked at it.
[SPEAKER_10]: They, I've said this before.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's the modern Republican motto.
[SPEAKER_10]: I've got mine, FU.
[SPEAKER_10]: And they looked at this as a chance to get there.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they don't realize that he will throw them under the bus.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hi, Christina.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pamboni's on her way.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's close.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_10]: So he copied Pam Bondi, not kidding.
[SPEAKER_10]: This was was this yesterday.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, this was today.
[SPEAKER_10]: This was today with the Prime Minister of Japan as well.
[SPEAKER_10]: Here, I'll I'll let this roll to you.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think some of you here in the bar can figure out where Donald was trying to copy Pam.
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you intend to live sanctions on a rainy and oil and do you intend to potentially put US troops or more troops in region?
[SPEAKER_07]: No, I'm not putting troops anywhere.
[SPEAKER_07]: If I were, I certainly wouldn't tell you.
[SPEAKER_07]: But I'm not putting troops.
[SPEAKER_07]: And we will do whatever is necessary to keep the price.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was like, I actually thought when I did this, let the Dow just hit 50,000.
[SPEAKER_02]: These weeks ago, buddy.
[SPEAKER_10]: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
[SPEAKER_10]: Right, for those of you who forgot about this, this was Pam Bondi at the open hearing which she is still going to be forced to go to the hearing and answer to lawyers.
[SPEAKER_10]: She's trying to help.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's how about that now.
[SPEAKER_00]: This was her a couple weeks ago talking to Democrats, and none of them asked Merrick Garland over the last four years, one word about Jeffrey Epstein, how ironic is that?
[SPEAKER_00]: The Dow, the Dow right now, is over, Dow is over $50,000, I don't know, Dow, she almost said dollars.
[SPEAKER_02]: She did.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, if the Dow's only $50,000, we're not doing well.
[SPEAKER_10]: Look, there has become now a default set of answers for these.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, God, yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Any time, Jody, if Donald Trump came up with a brand new program,
[SPEAKER_10]: How long would it be until he's going to have it come into effect two weeks?
[SPEAKER_10]: Exactly, and of course if anybody in the Trump regime is asked a question about Jeffrey Epstein or the war, what is their default answer?
[SPEAKER_14]: Come on, Sean, the Dow was at 50,000 Dolls.
[SPEAKER_10]: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, depends.
[SPEAKER_10]: See, his economy is good, but your economy sucks.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's Biden's fault that my economy sucks, even though his economy is good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right under Trump logic.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yes, now you understand you are you're spot on.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm learning.
[SPEAKER_10]: I am learning This is just this is one of those where all my eight I understand my people just sometimes throw up their hands and say This is ridiculous This is this is part of the reason why we're here at the politics bar and why we help you guys go understand
[SPEAKER_10]: It's not it is as stupid as you think it is and they are as ridiculous as you think they are and remember part of the reason that they are where they are is that a lot of good people who should have shown up and voted didn't didn't Yeah, so if you're like how the hell did this happen?
[SPEAKER_10]: there's your answer.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_10]: So we do have more than news on tap.
[SPEAKER_10]: We do have more fun stuff, more good stuff.
[SPEAKER_10]: Of course, we've got the wonderful John Fugle saying coming in because it is Thursday night and we do Thursdays with Fugle thing, then.
[SPEAKER_02]: We do do Thursday, it's a thing.
[SPEAKER_10]: Of course, we have a great drink of the day as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's sticky and salty.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's also a little salty, but I think we're a little salty today too.
[SPEAKER_10]: So fresh in your drink, come right back.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's the politics part.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_10]: Thursday night here at the politics bar it's hard for me to believe the week has gone this fast but you know it goes it look you have fun you hang out with your friends and you get to talk with your friends get comments and things which We happen to do that you guys can always reach out to us any time on the bar line two one three six seven seven seven seven two five eight somebody said I was saying it too fast Charlie put
[SPEAKER_10]: 2-1-3-6-7-7-7-7-7-2-58 or 2-1-3-6-7-7-Solk, you can call and leave a voicemail message or text us and hey if you want to hang out and actually have a conversation, you can do that too just make sure you don't have a hammer from, you know, to me.
[SPEAKER_10]: Also you can read just on these social media's any of them blue sky or threads, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Substack or YouTube, we are at all of those at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, actually a few people did reach out, um, by the way, Jodie Megan over on Threads.
[SPEAKER_10]: She's recommending our news on tap to everybody.
[SPEAKER_10]: She says it is vote and must read, honestly, y'all are keeping me sane in this hellscape.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you very much, Megan.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's very sweet.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sean does all the work on that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have very little to do with it.
[SPEAKER_10]: And that is not true.
[SPEAKER_10]: You look, that's we put our stuff together and then it's oh, your version was better than mine.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, my version was better than yours.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, this was great.
[SPEAKER_10]: Or, you know, that's that's how you do it.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's one of those things when you're looking at the news.
[SPEAKER_10]: And sometimes you're like, man, I wish I had somebody else to bounce this off of.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's also nice.
[SPEAKER_10]: Look, I know that a lot of people who happen to be in the bar here with us, they also like to check out Heather Cox Richardson.
[SPEAKER_02]: Love her.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to book her.
[SPEAKER_10]: She's tough.
[SPEAKER_10]: She's extremely tough to get hold of, but it is hers is written in prose, you know, very, you know, like you're in a book.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Hours is very much bullet point.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: So you can scroll through it in like two minutes, find out what the news is for the day.
[SPEAKER_10]: And you don't have to have the TV on and listen to, you know, cable, mainstream, or whatever.
[SPEAKER_10]: you could just bing bing bing get it and then come hang out with us because you know what you're doing.
[SPEAKER_10]: Go in and read the stories more if you want to.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I mean you you change all the headlines sometimes just so it's easy for me to understand because so often what they do in mainstream news is with the headlines they try to make it so that it catches the attention of the social media.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, more sensational.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right.
[SPEAKER_10]: And also whatever is trending.
[SPEAKER_10]: So, and I'm like, well, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_10]: But I just want to, you know, have people be able to read the headline and say, that's what the story is about.
[SPEAKER_10]: And then they can if they want to click in and read the story.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_10]: And then they get more informed.
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is why I said, Sean does a lot more work.
[SPEAKER_10]: a little bit more like we do we do we do similar it's good I'm not I'm not the one always at you know pops house or staffs house doing the PR which you know you are regularly which we try also we got to get out to a cliff and a house place he had his life thing it was great it was great I heard that was really good so dig that thank you very much Cliff and so you know hopefully everything is good and Cliff
[SPEAKER_10]: Of course, when he wakes up, if he wants to check the news on tap, it'll be there.
[SPEAKER_10]: Honestly, we've talked obviously a lot in that first one about some of the stupid war stuff.
[SPEAKER_10]: And we have the headlines in the first round in the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_10]: Obviously, we have a live update because it's a war.
[SPEAKER_10]: So things happen.
[SPEAKER_10]: You can check that out.
[SPEAKER_10]: But long and short, so this island that they've been talking about in Iran, it's really kind of the offloading station for a lot of oil and natural gas.
[SPEAKER_10]: They also have to have a great big gas field.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's natural gas correct.
[SPEAKER_10]: Correct.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_10]: And when they talk about gas as a trade, they're talking about LNG.
[SPEAKER_10]: They're talking about liquid natural gas.
[SPEAKER_02]: But what you get into your house?
[SPEAKER_10]: Absolutely, whatever.
[SPEAKER_10]: But blah, blah, blah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, that's liquid methane gas.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_10]: And basically, liquid methane gas is just gas.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's been compressed so much that it's turning into liquid.
[SPEAKER_10]: It only does that at cold temperatures.
[SPEAKER_10]: But that's, so if people understand this, there is a great big field underneath, underneath the Persian Gulf.
[SPEAKER_10]: There is a massive field of this gas.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's very explosive.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, it would be, I mean, you know, it would be, it could be, but it's under a great big, I mean, this is a huge body of water.
[SPEAKER_10]: So, hey, no worries, the water's keeping it down.
[SPEAKER_10]: Kind of like if you've ever taken, like a bottle.
[SPEAKER_10]: And you can put air in it, and then you can get air at the bottom.
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't think if you turn upside down or whatever, it's kind of like that.
[SPEAKER_10]: The air or the gas is beneath the Persian Gulf or the air of Gulf, however you wouldn't call it.
[SPEAKER_10]: But they share that gas field across across the Gulf with, God, I think the Saudis have a little bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: They share with each other definitely.
[SPEAKER_10]: Qatar definitely is the main one they share with.
[SPEAKER_10]: Here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_10]: So Donald said he wasn't going to hit them anymore.
[SPEAKER_10]: But Bibi said nothing of the sword.
[SPEAKER_10]: So Bibi went out and hit one of their main gas collection depos that ties to that field.
[SPEAKER_10]: So the Iranians are really pissed.
[SPEAKER_10]: And they've been now hitting major fuel points in some of the other people around the Gulf.
[SPEAKER_10]: Because it's, you know,
[SPEAKER_10]: You take out one of ours with a knife, I'll take out one of yours with a gun.
[SPEAKER_10]: This is a Chicago way, only it's been released, but that's that's what they're doing over there with this.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, then Donnie decides to say, Oh, yeah, well, if anybody else attacks, I'm just going to blow the hell out everything.
[SPEAKER_10]: Let me rephrase this because I know that you were telling me when you came into the bar that you were kind of rephrasing some of some of Donald stuff for for.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you read his truth about it?
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I saw it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Let me rephrase it in another way that I think lots of men and women and other gendered people can understand, which is if I can't have it, nobody can.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's not even that.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just, he's like threatening them because Israel did something.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if they go get, they take offense, then I'm going to go back to the thing that I didn't want Israel to attack.
[SPEAKER_10]: And he's going, right, because you can't attack it because I don't want to, but if you attack it, then I'm going to blow it up so that nobody has it because if I can't control it, nobody can.
[SPEAKER_10]: He's such a child.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, and he's such a rapist.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is.
[SPEAKER_02]: And a loser.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's that.
[SPEAKER_10]: It is absolutely that he is a b user.
[SPEAKER_10]: That is a b user language, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: It totally is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why do you make me hit you?
[SPEAKER_10]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, or as I joked about before, you know, uh, uh, when me and my sister were in the car as kids.
[SPEAKER_10]: She hit me and then I hit her back and she go, why do you hit me back first?
[SPEAKER_10]: Which, if you remember, you can't hit someone back first.
[SPEAKER_10]: You can't respond.
[SPEAKER_10]: first.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_10]: Initiate.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And what I think Iran is being, and I'm not a fan of the regime, I want to be.
[SPEAKER_02]: People to be free like they were before the Shah, Yadiyada, but they're smart enough not to hit any actual NATO countries.
[SPEAKER_10]: And also, they're trying to get the rest of the world involved enough to grab Donald by the little pal, throw them up against the wall and say, look, Jack, ask, stick your tiny missiles back in your pocket, your tiny expensive missiles, very expensive comparatively.
[SPEAKER_10]: So that's that's something else that we've got in the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_10]: You can read more into the war stuff in the first round of that obviously updates from the war.
[SPEAKER_10]: But in the cost of the war.
[SPEAKER_10]: So because they're getting a little bit more chippy and hitting some of these actual fuel stuff.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, briefly hit $119 a barrel today.
[SPEAKER_10]: uh... patrick to hon who is pretty much the uh... uh... oil uh... one of the other big oil trading expertise over gas buddy uh... said today the national average price of gasoline the u.s. reached three dollars and ninety cents a gallon while the south are gonna be really pissed off
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, you've got Denver.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's also going to piss because they're far away from stuff.
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, it's obviously California, New York.
[SPEAKER_10]: Look, diesel is, and these are national averages.
[SPEAKER_10]: National average of 390, national average for diesel is 509.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_10]: Looks like gasoline will hit a national average of $4 a gallon next week and could head towards 410 a gallon and beyond dollars.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yay, $8 in my neighborhood.
[SPEAKER_02]: Woo!
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is, we had $7 in 22, late 22, early 23, a half a mile from my house.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything else from that was about $6.50.
[SPEAKER_10]: The gas prices are going to be as bad as they were when we were coming out of COVID.
[SPEAKER_02]: And who caused COVID again?
[SPEAKER_10]: Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_02]: And now there's a new report.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think you had it in the news, but there's a new report that there were another 150,000 deaths.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh yeah, I didn't even, I saw that one and I didn't get it, she warned in there.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's okay.
[SPEAKER_10]: They said from the first two years that they, the, the, the, the, the, They under counted.
[SPEAKER_10]: The, oops, oops, oops, Well, actually, especially the first year.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was the first year.
[SPEAKER_10]: Uh, conveniently, where, where Donald Trump was.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, if we don't count the deaths, they're not real.
[SPEAKER_10]: you're right.
[SPEAKER_10]: That was his that was his way of thinking it is of course completely wrong way of thinking.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like it's like a child going I you can't see me because I can't see you.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right hands over their eyes saying you can't see me.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah exactly, but that's that you've said it Donald is child-ish.
[SPEAKER_10]: He's not child-like.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, like it's child-like is lovely.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right, no, he's child-ish.
[SPEAKER_02]: In the worst possible way.
[SPEAKER_10]: Like the kid who was like, oh, like some of the kids in Charlie and the Rocket Factory.
[SPEAKER_02]: Terrible twos, Veruca Salt.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the worst teenager you've ever met in your life.
[SPEAKER_10]: Combined.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_10]: Boy.
[SPEAKER_10]: and they have no no understanding about budgets or math.
[SPEAKER_10]: Pete Kegreth and the Pentagon are now seeking more than $200 billion in an emergency request for Trump's running out.
[SPEAKER_10]: Not going to happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even Republicans are like, I don't think so too.
[SPEAKER_10]: 200 billion.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't see requests.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we are to gave the Pentagon more money last year, correct?
[SPEAKER_10]: Uh, you are correct, Jody.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: This is the 200 billion is way above anything that they would normally do.
[SPEAKER_10]: And Democrats are making it very clear.
[SPEAKER_10]: They are not going to approve one more cent.
[SPEAKER_10]: They're making it clear on the DHS Department of Homeland Security shut down as well.
[SPEAKER_10]: We have that in a little bit later, a little bit further down in the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_10]: But Democrats are still saying, look, we will fund everything except.
[SPEAKER_02]: I sense CBP.
[SPEAKER_10]: I sense CBP.
[SPEAKER_10]: And if I sense CBP, I didn't get this one in there either.
[SPEAKER_10]: But I've seen this, it just frustrates me.
[SPEAKER_10]: So the Trump administration, the Trump regime folks, are saying, well, we're being generous.
[SPEAKER_10]: we will agree to have body cams and that they should same tag tags and and that's that's our compromise to you and like that's not a compromise you actually agreeing to the things that we've set down as minimum standards is not a compromise that's no that that that's not a that's not how this works
[SPEAKER_10]: But Democrats are our holding firm thankfully in the end of the Senate and they are saying we would let they keep trying to Jeffries over in the house and Schumer in the Senate.
[SPEAKER_10]: They keep putting forward bills where they're saying will fund everybody else except them.
[SPEAKER_10]: And if you guys would just put in things get your name tag.
[SPEAKER_10]: No masks legal arrests with legal rights.
[SPEAKER_10]: then sure you could have that money too.
[SPEAKER_10]: And the public just saying, no, we don't want the fine.
[SPEAKER_10]: We'll give you an antag, but not masks.
[SPEAKER_10]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Lawrence, what is?
[SPEAKER_10]: Right.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, you, this is that when we say these are the minimum standards for our agreement and that these are the standards that every other police department at every other level.
[SPEAKER_02]: Every new law enforcement has to do all of that.
[SPEAKER_10]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_10]: You're in Texas, say Texas Rangers have these standards too.
[SPEAKER_10]: Everybody has this NYPD LAPD Chicago PD.
[SPEAKER_10]: Puerto Rico doesn't matter, everybody, everybody else has to do this.
[SPEAKER_10]: And they're Republicans are like, yeah, but if they put on masks, people will know who they are.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: If they take them off, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's okay.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right, exactly, because we don't want them to beat the hell out of people.
[SPEAKER_10]: And if they do, and they break the law, people should know who they are.
[SPEAKER_10]: So that way, they can be held accountable.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean, I've seen some of the raids, and some of the guys don't have masks on, because they're not really doing anything wrong.
[SPEAKER_10]: right.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're just crowd controls.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like on cool or just anything wrong.
[SPEAKER_10]: Then they should be.
[SPEAKER_10]: Thank you account accountability.
[SPEAKER_10]: This is this is one of these things.
[SPEAKER_10]: Republicans and folks on the right have always said.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, you've done a scratch.
[SPEAKER_10]: You just want to hold us quote unquote account.
[SPEAKER_10]: You don't actually believe in accountability.
[SPEAKER_10]: There's a perfect, a perfect example of holding people accountable today in the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_10]: We've got that one actually a little bit further down.
[SPEAKER_10]: If you go down to the fourth round under more news to drink about under accountability matters, New York Times did a five year investigation and found that Caesar Chavez, civil rights
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, I, I was nice about the headline.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's, he did sexual assault.
[SPEAKER_10]: He raped women.
[SPEAKER_10]: He only raped Dolores Huerta.
[SPEAKER_10]: Who was his, his co-anchor?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, his right hand person.
[SPEAKER_02]: His, exactly person.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right for twice.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he did this to under.
[SPEAKER_02]: And she had babies with him.
[UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_10]: So immediately, please for shot as day events have been called off.
[SPEAKER_02]: As they should be.
[SPEAKER_10]: Labor organizations, obviously people are like kind of trying to figure out what we're going to do with some of the the the murals and things.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they got to be taken down.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm sorry, but they do changed somehow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe put her picture on her and the other victims faces up there.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, especially if it's focused on like the labor stuff, the UCFW.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's her.
[SPEAKER_02]: She really, she really was.
[SPEAKER_02]: She was part of that movement, like big time part of that.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why she didn't come forward.
[SPEAKER_10]: She was his right hand person and exactly.
[SPEAKER_10]: The reason she didn't come forward is because she didn't want to hurt the farm workers out there.
[SPEAKER_10]: But, you know what?
[SPEAKER_10]: Great.
[SPEAKER_10]: She kept going and helped the movement.
[SPEAKER_10]: Fine.
[SPEAKER_10]: Put her picture up instead of his.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, let's make it her day.
[SPEAKER_10]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_10]: See how easy it is to accountability you're like, oh, well, and people go, well, wait, you know, he's that he's dead.
[SPEAKER_10]: So he's, you know, he's done, but the fact of the matter is is now we go about doing it.
[SPEAKER_10]: And we just say, okay, great people.
[SPEAKER_10]: He ranked children that we're going to do whatever we can to hold his legacy accountable.
[SPEAKER_10]: And that's what we do.
[SPEAKER_10]: This is how accountability spoke.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Have we heard of Anthony Weener again?
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_10]: And we shouldn't.
[SPEAKER_10]: We should talk about the drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he did a lot less than Donald.
[SPEAKER_10]: True.
[SPEAKER_10]: But we'll talk about that too.
[SPEAKER_10]: We got more accountability talk about.
[SPEAKER_10]: I want to talk about the drink of the day next because this thing is sweet.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, really seriously.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's a little salty.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, that too.
[SPEAKER_10]: Coming right back.
[SPEAKER_10]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_10]: There's a Thursday night here at the politics bar.

[SPEAKER_10]: You could tell them what you just said is funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: Women never fake it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Women never fake it, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Never, never, ever, ever.
[SPEAKER_10]: Donald Fakes everything so I suppose that kind of offsets it a little bit in some ways anyway Well, thank you by the way to everybody coming into us.

[SPEAKER_10]: He's on all the platforms.
[SPEAKER_10]: Sometimes I see him on Blue Sky or Threads, then I see him over on Subspeck.
[SPEAKER_10]: He goes to all the corners of the bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is fantastic.
[SPEAKER_10]: I love that guy.
[SPEAKER_10]: I love all the different subgroups in the bar, and we love you for that Tom.
[SPEAKER_10]: He reminded us Tuesday not only was St. Patrick's Day, but it was also St. Gertrude's Day, because she's the patron saint of gardeners and cats.
[SPEAKER_10]: See, I, Tom, I told you she'd love it.
[SPEAKER_10]: See.
[SPEAKER_10]: Joe, he's grinning.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, the guy that has, is my new, my new, now for 10 years, Lance Gaper has dad, I, when I bought my house in 1993, so this is, in the 1900s, which is now I'm talking about it in the 1900s.
[SPEAKER_14]: in the 19th century.
[SPEAKER_14]: You know what I lived in the 1900s with an onion on your mouth?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah!
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, so many onions right now on my belts.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, a yellow cloud.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, no, but his dad, when I bought the house, they said, the people that lived here, they're like, this is who does our gardening, and this is who does our pool and blood.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: because I like them.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, that's kind of cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so his dad worked for me for years.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I remember when Eddie was five or six years old coming.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, in the summers.
[SPEAKER_10]: So it's a family landscape.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, and I love, you know, every time I see him, he comes on Wednesdays and I'm always like, how's your dad?
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I mean, I watched his dad put sprinklers in our backyard because the grass was dying because if it isn't mowing or barking, I don't want to hear the pool and Right, and so he I watched him with a pickaxe dealing with bad soil.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_10]: Can really play East oil.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, seriously bad, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: And just I've never seen somebody look so happy working so hard
[SPEAKER_02]: I honestly have never seen anybody doing that.
[SPEAKER_10]: I love it when people work hard.
[SPEAKER_10]: It is and enjoy it, I should say.
[SPEAKER_10]: I love people work hard and enjoy it.
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, we work hard and we enjoy.
[SPEAKER_10]: We were talking here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but it's not like that kind of labor.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's real.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, no, I mean, it's hard physical labor is no joke.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I've done that.
[SPEAKER_10]: I've actually worked on landscaping crews.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's hard work, man.
[SPEAKER_10]: I've worked landscaping crews.
[SPEAKER_10]: I've worked on, I worked on the line at Kawasaki Motorcycle for capturing.
[SPEAKER_10]: I did that at one time, so I've done that.
[SPEAKER_10]: I worked at camper repair and sales, doing that kind of, I didn't do any sales and just did the repair work and whatever.
[SPEAKER_10]: And again, I've also done the intellectual stuff, the, you know, the PR and obviously all the radio and the other media stuff, anytime somebody works hard and enjoys it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he was sweating and just smile on his face because it was his yard, it wasn't mine.
[SPEAKER_10]: When you enjoy what you're doing, it's really work.
[SPEAKER_10]: And you don't, you get salty about things.
[SPEAKER_10]: When you have to bust your ass and people don't thank you, they are, they're thankless, they don't care, they are rude, they make your workspace hell, but it is, it's really
[SPEAKER_10]: When you get in a place and you're working really hard, you have, you know, you enjoy what you're doing, you look at a clock and you're like, damn, workday's done.
[SPEAKER_10]: All right, whatever.
[SPEAKER_10]: Sometimes you do overtime, because you're like, I'm just wanna finish my thing and I'm doing good.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm not saying everybody should work overtime.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm just saying, if you enjoy your work, we appreciate it.
[SPEAKER_10]: So I guess, I guess this would be the perfect combination of salty and sweet.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's kind of what we're talking about here.
[SPEAKER_10]: This would be the cocktail.
[SPEAKER_10]: For these people, I think today's drink the day would be the cocktail for people who work their ass off and enjoy it.
[SPEAKER_10]: They want something kind of like a treat at the end of the day, like a little bit of a dessert, like a little bit of a chocolate, but as a drink.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: For those of you who are subscribed, you're like, I finally, I know where you're going.
[SPEAKER_10]: For those folks who are not yet subscribed to the drink of the day, Jody, where were we going with all of that?
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: The drink of the day is called Assalted Caramel or Caramel, because it's spelled Caramel, so I'm going to go with that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Chocolate Martini, because today, apparently, is National Chocolate Caramel Day.
[SPEAKER_10]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm finding about so many days.
[SPEAKER_10]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, especially if you worked a music radio as I have, there are tons of these little days celebrating everything.
[SPEAKER_10]: A lot of them either created by radio people or four radio people.
[SPEAKER_10]: Thank God.
[SPEAKER_10]: so that way we can be like hey here's something to hang a hat on and oh by the way the sponsor for this particular thing is blah blah blah and yeah after you know what 100 years of plus of radio people are like man there's a lot of these and you go well yeah we got to we got to keep things fresh so we keep finding new days and you know days about pets saints about pets saints about you know whatever this is whatever we have fun with it and we know you guys do too so
[SPEAKER_10]: it is good though.
[SPEAKER_10]: I do like I like the background you gave on this.
[SPEAKER_10]: I had to put in that little picture there.
[SPEAKER_10]: I have you have you made Saltacarmone chocolate type stuff do you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: Why wife?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but I know some people that make candy and they know how to make this kind of stuff.
[SPEAKER_10]: My wife really likes, it's a Christmas cookie, fudgy kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, she called it a millionaire bars.
[SPEAKER_10]: And it's basically a layer of chocolate, and a layer of caramel or caramel, or we put it, and then a little bit of salt.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's basically, it's what's in the picture.
[SPEAKER_10]: And then when you get done, you cut it in little squares, and you only want about one of those.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can imagine how sweet and tangy and everything and filling, I would imagine.
[SPEAKER_02]: They look.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: And in Italy, yummy.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's got like a bajillion calories in here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I'm sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: And just one.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's probably 600 calories in just one half my calories for the day.
[SPEAKER_10]: I love the fact they also, that you put in here.
[SPEAKER_10]: Different things that people can do to celebrate national chocolate caramel day.
[SPEAKER_10]: You can make a customized chocolate bouquet.
[SPEAKER_10]: You can whip up some instant chocolate, caramel ice cream.
[SPEAKER_10]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_10]: Or you could just, you know, use your favorite vanilla and mix it in chocolate chips, scum sauce.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that drink just looks so pretty, doesn't it?
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's the thing is if you like chocolate and caramel, you're sitting there going, man, I'm thirsty.
[SPEAKER_10]: This is the perfect drink because it has the taste of that.
[SPEAKER_10]: And you don't have to worry about getting your fingers sticky.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're about to get a little sticky because of the thing.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, but so good.
[SPEAKER_10]: All right.
[SPEAKER_10]: Obviously the glass is chilled.
[SPEAKER_10]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to figure out a way to tell on him like chilled.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's going to die on this hill.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just have me dead on the hill with a chilled.
[SPEAKER_10]: All glasses should be chilled.
[SPEAKER_02]: just it's I'm I still write it we always still write it but look because some people just come in they haven't they haven't you know heard us do this yet exactly so for the grim which is important you know caramel sauce or melted caramel and sea salt that's for the rim okay then you need three ounces of chocolate like you're like a bales or collue chocolate sips those are and there's other that's good dive uh there's a lot of really good chocolate look here is out there
[SPEAKER_02]: Three ounces of caramel flavored vodka, which is not easy to find, but you can.
[SPEAKER_10]: We've got a link to it there in the drink.
[SPEAKER_02]: Two ounces of half an aft, because you know, cut it a little bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you garnish with chocolate curls.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's a little kind of complicated to make.
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you're having like a party and it's your dessert drink.
[SPEAKER_02]: Perfect dessert people will be so impressed with you hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying okay So you prepare the martini glasses by dipping the rim in the caramel sauce and sprinkling the sea salt on the rims And never you yeah don't use table suck.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't use table suck.
[SPEAKER_02]: You need right kind of salt See salt.
[SPEAKER_02]: You see salt is the big crystal the big giant one That you kind of see on a margarita glass on occasion a little bit bigger than that
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you only have that, that'll work, because that's not ceasalpt.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's not table socks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Excuse me.
[SPEAKER_10]: Don't use table socks.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, it's not gonna work.
[SPEAKER_10]: The big stuff.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Step two.
[SPEAKER_02]: You add all the, you add ice to the shaker, and then you put all the ingredients in your shake until it's chilly.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you strain it into the glass and garnish with the chocolate curls.
[SPEAKER_02]: And only have one.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yes, please.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because the sugar and the booze hang over.
[SPEAKER_10]: If you have one, as you were saying, chick drink, but it's a chain drink.
[SPEAKER_10]: Our good drinks, it doesn't just mean there for girls.
[SPEAKER_10]: Anybody can have them where we don't gender bias around here.
[SPEAKER_10]: You can drink whatever you want.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, they call them chick drinks because it's usual.
[SPEAKER_02]: This has a little bit of a mixer to it, but most chick drinks are pure booze.
[SPEAKER_10]: although because the drink is mostly alcohol, they're actually more expensive.
[SPEAKER_10]: So there's also that.
[SPEAKER_10]: Here's my thought, you know, if she would like a drink like that or whoever your partner is, would like a drink like that great, but actually get to know them first instead of trying to.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, please.
[SPEAKER_10]: Because we do not need any more of that, say, sir, Chavez stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_10]: Sorry, none of that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Or I mean, I think Pete Higgs at the somebody you have to cover a drink with.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just me.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, no, I 100% agree with you.
[SPEAKER_10]: Drink covers around P. Hague Seth, no matter what you're doing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, and Justice Kavanaugh.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, drinking makes rafes a lot.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, definitely need to drink covers around him.

[SPEAKER_10]: Basically some cops broke into his house, no reason.
[SPEAKER_10]: The whole thing went through the courts found that there was absolutely no reason for them to have taken this money.
[SPEAKER_10]: They had to return this money, but because he had video cameras of these cops.
[SPEAKER_10]: no masks remember he made mocking videos of them as he should dumbasses right and they sued him because they're like well you can't make fun of me and the judges like no you know here's the thing uh... you shouldn't do stupid stuff if it hurts you when you do stupid stuff to bad right then don't do stupid stuff

[SPEAKER_10]: One time he's crazy.
[SPEAKER_10]: By the way, settled a civil lawsuit in the U.K. over the sexual assault.
[SPEAKER_10]: I know he's been proven, or hasn't been proven that he actually did sexually assault anybody.
[SPEAKER_10]: I know there's some people who are still questioning on that.
[SPEAKER_10]: Look, I wouldn't, I don't have the money to hire him, but I'm like, you know, that's, you got to find your way back, folks.
[SPEAKER_10]: Accountability has cost.
[SPEAKER_02]: And his career has, I mean, it's, he's working a little bit, but.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_10]: 96 degrees?
[SPEAKER_10]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_10]: OK, I'm sorry, Mother Nature, you have been cut off.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am not looking forward to August and July or early September.
[SPEAKER_10]: I am hoping that things get a little bit cooler out there.
[SPEAKER_10]: Look, hopefully we will find things a little bit better in other portions of the country.
[SPEAKER_10]: Hopefully, obviously, up in Minneapolis, St. Paul.
[SPEAKER_10]: A. I'm 9.50.
[SPEAKER_10]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_10]: If you are listening on the radio there, maybe they'll be OK. Down in Atlanta this summer.
[SPEAKER_10]: Post.
[SPEAKER_10]: We'll Georgia now, radio.
[SPEAKER_10]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_10]: If you're listening there, of course, if you're listening in Tennessee,
[SPEAKER_10]: year up in hills there we appreciate you listening to the detour talk thank you for that and of course if you are listening in Chicago Chicago's own WCPT AMA 20 hey you get by the lake there's a lot of wind that's not too bad of course you could be listening a progressive voice radio worldwide and then pretty much you know wherever you are go wherever you want wherever the weather is your favorite that's fine just you know take us with you it's easy access to the bar from whatever place you are on the planet
[SPEAKER_10]: or if you're on the space station, you can access this that way too.
[SPEAKER_10]: Or you can also access this from your favorite podcast player or subscribe to the politics bar.com.
[UNKNOWN]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_10]: All right, Jody, there is a little bit of entertainment that we missed.
[SPEAKER_10]: I gotta get to a couple of these things.
[SPEAKER_10]: Majority baseball, this is gonna make you want to smack your head into the bar.
[SPEAKER_10]: So please don't, but I'm just saying it will.
[SPEAKER_10]: Majority baseball has struck up a deal.
[SPEAKER_10]: a sponsorship deal with polymarket prediction market.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh no.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, it's betting market, right?
[SPEAKER_10]: Even though Major League baseball is having problems with betting.
[SPEAKER_02]: Didn't what's his face get kicked out of the Hall of Fame for it?
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, Pete Rose.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pete Rose, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: And he wasn't even betting on baseball.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right.
[SPEAKER_10]: There's, it's, there's a lot of problems with betting and sports, but the fact that you've got these prediction markets, I think that's so much.
[SPEAKER_10]: I believe it was yesterday or maybe the day before we had a story in the news on tap about Arizona Attorney General Maze, who is going after them.
[SPEAKER_10]: Because she's saying, you can't say that you're not a betting market and then you're actually kind of a betting market.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's clash.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think she's going after.
[SPEAKER_10]: But it's kind of like the idea of, uh, is it a war or is it not a war?
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, it's a conflict.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I know.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's the, it's the, it's the same kind of.
[SPEAKER_10]: Semantics.
[SPEAKER_10]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's a freaking war.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's like I, when I was arguing with my old co-host about game of thrones, I'm like, it's a soap.
[SPEAKER_02]: You go, well, they don't sell soap.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, oh, my god, some antics.
[SPEAKER_10]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's a category of show known as soap operas.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's,
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I'm with you on that.
[SPEAKER_10]: One of the thing of note in the entertainment and media stuff today, um, some changes for our friends.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: MS now.
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, I'm kind of bummed in some ways.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, I have to.
[SPEAKER_10]: I like Ali Velsheet.
[SPEAKER_10]: I do.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm actually with him on social a number of times.
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, I like Jake.
[SPEAKER_10]: So we're off in Stephanie rule and Alicia Menendez.
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, I'm glad that Chris Hayes is going to be returning to Monday night.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad to.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm just sad to see Anna Cabrera go.
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: When you, this is something we do not recommend our media diet for anybody else.
[SPEAKER_10]: If you're here at the bar and you're like, well, you know, we look at what you guys do in the news on tap and we're like, man, you guys really, we do read a lot.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, we read a lot.
[SPEAKER_10]: And we take you in a lot listening and watching a lot of clips and a lot of live stuff.
[SPEAKER_10]: And as I stated in my home office before I come to the bar, I usually have on, and I've said this before, MSNow or CNN or the ABC streamer or BBC, I'll just use your English.
[SPEAKER_10]: I flip through and whoever it is and whatever.
[SPEAKER_10]: because that way of something pops, then I'm able to go, wait, okay, what's going on?
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay, let me go find a story that's written about it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Somebody actually had to write it down and cite their sources and these kinds of things, which is good.
[SPEAKER_10]: So you get to know these people.
[SPEAKER_10]: I've used the analogy before that for a lot of us, in the political media, it's like we're all working in the same virtual office space.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pretty much, yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: because we are.
[SPEAKER_10]: And some of them know some of us, some of them know Stephanie, Tom, they know some of them know Bob some of them starting to know us, which is great.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_10]: But I like on a Cabrera.
[SPEAKER_10]: She has a very calm voice.
[SPEAKER_10]: She is an excellent presenter.
[SPEAKER_10]: She's done some actual journalism and she's pretty good at it when they let her out from out in behind you know from out in front of the camera, which he gets to take go out in the field of things.
[SPEAKER_10]: But I enjoy having her as a nice presence behind me sometimes when I'm flipping and it lands on there and she's there.
[SPEAKER_10]: So I'm going to that'll be bummed.
[SPEAKER_10]: They're changing that out in June.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and John knows Stephanie rule very well because he's been on her show several times.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right.
[SPEAKER_10]: Stephanie is moving from nights to taking over kind of that midday.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, oh, by the way, Chris Jancing who you and I had issues with her.
[SPEAKER_10]: I did positions on certain things driving.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's they're going to put her back in the field, which I think is actually a better idea.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's better for her.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think it is, too.
[SPEAKER_10]: because I think that she will.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's more of a reporter than an anchor, I think.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yep, so they're going to put her back out in the field.
[SPEAKER_10]: Like I said, chef, a few things, given Jacob a sober off, Ali Veltz, he's weekend show.
[SPEAKER_10]: And then Ali is taking over Stephanie's show at night, which Ali and Stephanie have been friends for a long time.
[SPEAKER_10]: They both used to work at, I believe, CNN.
[SPEAKER_10]: I believe they both worked at CNN, and Ethan when they had their CNN financial network.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh God, that was a long time ago.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: they've been so they've they've all been around each other and and that's fun.
[SPEAKER_10]: But Stephanie will now be doing like mornings and they're cutting morning Joe back to three hours instead of four.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_10]: So which I think will actually be better for all of them because I think they will probably be able to provide a better show.
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_02]: Four hours is a lot of content and a lot of
[SPEAKER_10]: Look, Stephanie, Stephanie does three.
[SPEAKER_10]: Randy does three.
[SPEAKER_10]: Randy used to do four at one time.
[SPEAKER_10]: I worked with her.
[SPEAKER_10]: I worked with three hours and I worked with when we were show was two hours.
[SPEAKER_10]: And three hours is about all you can really do and still be fresh to show.
[SPEAKER_10]: Two hours is kind of nice because it's a little bit more concise, but
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean, and then if you're like Randy and Stephanie Miller and Tom, it's a limited group of people that can get stuff done for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's happening live.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whereas, you know, morning Joe, they have...
[SPEAKER_02]: a huge 100,000 people working for them.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, and they have some of their staff for start at like 11 o'clock at night.
[SPEAKER_10]: Like I asked you what I were saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I did with some stuff in there.
[SPEAKER_10]: I was getting up at, it was going to say, yeah, I forget that.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, when you were, when you had the big chair there, exactly, yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Which?
[SPEAKER_10]: it's fine it's great it's it's all that is good but it's just to me it's the personal aspect you you hate to see somebody that you are having in your virtual office go hey I'm going to go do something else but I hope whatever she does on a career is successful and I will miss having a staff in my ear in the evenings because when I'm not you know watching or listening to something else I will oftentimes put her on at the end of the day great show man she had a great
[SPEAKER_10]: He's just, yeah, he's a little bit just presenters, last journalist in general.
[SPEAKER_10]: He's really, really good.
[SPEAKER_10]: So you guys can see the full team details happens being the, it wasn't media and entertainment section pardon me in the news on tap, but yeah, you could check it out, it's all good.
[SPEAKER_10]: We have obviously other news in the news on tap John Fugos and will be in in a little bit and we will talk about some of that with him.
[SPEAKER_10]: I want to get to a couple of things though, in the Trumponomic section is failing from Trump's failing government and the third round yesterday, the Fed voted to hold rates steady because of the war on Iran, which duh.
[SPEAKER_10]: Fed Chairman Powell confirmed though that the job creation in the U.S. under Trump is basically zero.
[SPEAKER_10]: Nara, Guseg, Zip, Nara, yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Also, as health policy experts warned, remember we had Charles Gabby in here last year, and he warned that millions of Americans were just going to choose to go without insurance, health insurance.
[SPEAKER_10]: And now they are finding out, congratulations, millions of Americans are going without, it's almost like experts in their field actually know what they're talking about.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, he just said that here not too long ago.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think we had that story in the news on tap couple weeks ago.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so we're so he wants people to I don't know, die.
[SPEAKER_10]: Uh, remember that was that was the Alan Grayson, Alan Grayson warned everybody about this.
[SPEAKER_10]: He was in Congress.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's the Republican health care plan.
[SPEAKER_10]: Die and die quickly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean, Bella.
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, I'm glad she's alive.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm glad she is not so far.
[SPEAKER_02]: She doesn't need emergency surgeries.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're trying to move it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Her surgery is now scheduled for two weeks from tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully it's either tomorrow or before that.
[SPEAKER_10]: I was going to say I would hope that they would move her surgery.
[SPEAKER_02]: They need to manage.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's needed out for months.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I just, I feel bad about that, but hey, you know, we're in the United States.
[SPEAKER_10]: This is this is healthcare today in the United States at some point.
[SPEAKER_10]: Maybe we will actually do the right thing and get universal care for everybody here.
[SPEAKER_10]: That would be all the fun there, Martha.
[SPEAKER_02]: And how doctors listen to women when they say they're in pain.
[SPEAKER_10]: God, yes, that would be the way that that's the way it should be is that, well, everybody should listen to women.
[SPEAKER_10]: Hey.
[SPEAKER_10]: Somebody else, everybody should be listening to, of course, it helps when he turns his microphone on.
[SPEAKER_10]: But, you know, we gotta, we'll go where he's coming in the door here.
[SPEAKER_10]: John is turning his microphone on, and we will get him in the door here.
[SPEAKER_10]: Mr. Fughal saying is, oh, thank you so much.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yes, you know, there it is.
[SPEAKER_10]: How you doing?
[SPEAKER_09]: Man, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your, how's your
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, look, if you don't tell him before his third drink, he doesn't want to die.
[SPEAKER_09]: And so, you know, but guys, I'm doing great.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's great to see you.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've probably should announce this before the contract signed, but I've been in heavy negotiations.
[SPEAKER_09]: I haven't even looked at the news in two days.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just, I just, yeah, I had to use up me.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just was able to somehow for a song purchase.
[SPEAKER_09]: full merchandising rights to Caesar Chavez.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know why they let me do it, but I had to blow like his college funds, but now just think about all the good things.
[SPEAKER_09]: Think about the ways sure it's all be selling for years and years to come into the book licensing.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I'm very happy about it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, we know.
[SPEAKER_10]: Actually, we're doing I'm excited.
[SPEAKER_10]: You can see my shirt actually.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm wearing my DC Husker shirt today because Husker women's basketball, they they won their play in
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, Husker men, the Husker men's basketball team in all of the, what they call the, the big five, the top five conferences, they were the only ones that had never won a tournament game in the NCAA tournament and they did today by I was like 7, 6, 34.
[SPEAKER_10]: So yeah, Charlie Pearson, I were, you know, shooting, shouldn't comments and give any other grief because as you know, Charlie likes to watch all the basketball teams as many as it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: And John, is it your driver's birthday?
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a degenerate gambler as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, Johnny.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't you know, isn't your bride's birthday today?
[SPEAKER_09]: Today is my wife's birthday, yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Happy birthday Charmy.
[SPEAKER_10]: Not here, guys.
[SPEAKER_09]: I always remember because it's a day the Iraq war started.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's very dear to my heart.
[SPEAKER_10]: He's only three years ago.
[SPEAKER_10]: Twenty-four years ago.
[SPEAKER_10]: Now, here's my question, though.
[SPEAKER_10]: She's 50.
[SPEAKER_10]: So if Charmy's 50, I mean, I know you're 50-ish somewhere in there.
[SPEAKER_10]: How are you going to handle it when you keep getting older?
[SPEAKER_10]: She stays the same age.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't understand.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm saying she's a youngster.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: I understand.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, yes, yes, only only I age.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, that's only.
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, that's only us men age.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, no, no, no, I mean, look, you, I mean, you've always looked pretty good.
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, like Katie, lying.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's almost like you're in fun of the fact that we get the long end of the stick on that one.
[SPEAKER_09]: Socially, shot.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, it's, I mean, like historically, guys are the ones who get less crap from the, from the culture for aging, right?
[SPEAKER_10]: very much so right but i look at it and say you know what it's okay to give us men crap about you know that the women you know that basically being nice to women because men have been crappy to women for so long and like i think we can start balancing it out now be be crappy to us about our aging and every woman should be you know looking young and beautiful at least you know we'll say that they are because they're great people so
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm older than both of you guys by a lot of years, so I'm just going to sit out of here.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I'm not sure I'm hip enough to understand what we're talking about.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_09]: I just am waiting for the women to take over.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I am not a feminist.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm feminist believe in equality.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm a female supremacist.
[SPEAKER_09]: So that's where I'm coming from.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, we're going to talk about Dolores Huerta and that whole thing in about holding back accountable because we want it.
[SPEAKER_10]: We want to talk with you about that.
[SPEAKER_10]: Obviously Donald stupid more.
[SPEAKER_10]: We got to talk about that too.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, serves tonight.
[SPEAKER_09]: John's about Mark Wayne.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mark Wayne, uh, we'll talk about how to know white men could have names like that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's talk about Mark Wayne.
[SPEAKER_10]: We will.
[SPEAKER_10]: Coming up.
[SPEAKER_10]: Our Wayne Billy boss.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll be right back after we'd pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_10]: It is Thursday nights, you regular's around here.
[SPEAKER_10]: No one that means the one, the only, charm-feelful saying.
[SPEAKER_10]: Post of serious exams, tell me everything.
[SPEAKER_10]: Author of that absolutely fantastic book that if you don't have a copy, you absolutely should.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right now, separation of church and hate.
[SPEAKER_10]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_10]: But of course, our friend.
[SPEAKER_10]: Wait, look, if they don't have a copy of the book, I don't know why they don't.
[SPEAKER_10]: But they should.
[SPEAKER_10]: Just, you know, I'm quite impressed.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a great book.
[SPEAKER_02]: My mom loves it.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's an audio.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'll see you.
[SPEAKER_09]: God bless your mom.
[SPEAKER_02]: I will.
[SPEAKER_09]: Maybe she'll learn a thing or two about comedy from that book.
[SPEAKER_09]: She might.
[SPEAKER_09]: Maybe never know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, well, you know, she's never too old to learn.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, and if you were on, if we were on the right that they wouldn't be saying that in just because they'd be like, well, you know, she's a chick and chicks don't know how to do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, chicks don't know how to comedy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just talk to Jerry Lewis.
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't know comedy.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry, and you know what else to voting is a lot of work for you, lady.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know, I know, why should you be burdened with the new other things to do?
[SPEAKER_10]: And deciding things like, you know, your own health care?
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, why should you have the right to do that?
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_10]: of course we're being somewhat snarky but look that the idea of holding people accountable we've been saying this for a while now that that the two words every Democrat running for anything this year needs to focus on our affordability and accountability and Republicans oftentimes say will you you double credits don't want to hold any of your own accountable.
[SPEAKER_09]: We said this earlier when exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Democrats are
[SPEAKER_09]: or I'll Franken, but look, we're very long list of Democrats.
[SPEAKER_10]: Gary Hart.
[SPEAKER_10]: Uh huh.
[SPEAKER_10]: I love the fact you came in with the Caesar Chavez joke, though, that you had bought the catalog, which didn't mean.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just love that you might have, because out of in funnier.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh my God, I have action figures I'm going to make now.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's so great that they told me back.
[SPEAKER_10]: I am glad that at the immediate response overwhelmingly from Democrats, from everybody on the left.
[SPEAKER_10]: Independence, under left, leaning whatever is all right, dude.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, no more Cesar Chavez celebration.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's.
[SPEAKER_10]: Believe.
[SPEAKER_10]: what Dolores Huerta and these other women have said, and now we're going to have to deal with figuring out what to do about some of these murals and things.
[SPEAKER_10]: And Jody, our suggestion is, is put up Dolores's picture instead.
[SPEAKER_10]: If you're going to try to adapt an old mural, find do it that way.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let me tell you, there's going to be a lot of highways renamed the Dolores Square to highway in the next five to 10 years.
[SPEAKER_10]: As there should be exactly, yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_10]: Look, it's accountability is not that hard
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, raping women and raping children.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm sorry, that's, that, these are the lines that we said.
[SPEAKER_10]: And we say, oh, we found it.
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, congratulations.
[SPEAKER_10]: Bye.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, this is really easy.
[SPEAKER_09]: And the fact that this is really easy is because of all the brave people who came before, you know, we're alive at a remarkable time.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's easy to think that humans are getting worse and worse.
[SPEAKER_09]: And on economics, we certainly are, of course.
[SPEAKER_09]: But I always said it on your show.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you had told me in the 90s that we'd have a black president,
[SPEAKER_09]: that we'd have marriage equality for LGBTQ people, that we wouldn't be putting people in prison for cannabis anymore, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: In the 90s I wouldn't have believed it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I would have said, no, humans aren't going to become that decent in just 30 years.
[SPEAKER_09]: And if you were told me that we'd be alive for the moment when after tens of thousands of years, no exaggeration, think about this, tens of thousands of years of homo sapiens males, sexually abusing children,
[SPEAKER_09]: women and children, and that we'd be alive after thousands of years, and then suddenly for the last 40.
[SPEAKER_09]: almost sapiens have begun, just begun to say collectively, no, you can do that, you can be replaced.
[SPEAKER_09]: Like, it's easy to overlook how incredible a time we're in.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because this story could not have happened in the 70s or the 80s.
[SPEAKER_09]: The Epstein files could not have been a thing in the 70s or the 40s or the 1920s.
[SPEAKER_09]: The Epstein files couldn't have been a thing in the early 2000s.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's happening now.
[SPEAKER_09]: because we're alive at a time when humans are moving from a culture of victims to a culture of survivors, because women and men have come forward bravely, alter boys, military, male and female sex abuse survivors, the women of me too, my God, the boy scouts, the boy scouts who've come forward on all of this.
[SPEAKER_09]: And because of it, we're witnessing an incredible evolution in human morality.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, say, sir, Chavez,
[SPEAKER_09]: He's going to be canceled.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it doesn't.
[SPEAKER_09]: It doesn't.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he should be.
[SPEAKER_09]: Great work.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Always deserve praise.
[SPEAKER_09]: He will always deserve honor for his work with labor.
[SPEAKER_09]: But he is canceled.
[SPEAKER_09]: He wasn't canceled in life.
[SPEAKER_09]: He did it.
[SPEAKER_09]: He groomed girls that we will never.
[SPEAKER_09]: about.
[SPEAKER_09]: He died a hero.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's been a hero possibly for decades and we grow up needing heroes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: You don't just admire them.
[SPEAKER_09]: We need them.
[SPEAKER_09]: We build these statues because we want to believe great.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is within our reach and that great people do great things and sometimes that's just not how it is.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: And so...
[SPEAKER_09]: Delores Huerta, who stood with this man and carried the secret of two pregnancies for decades because he was grooming young girls and having sex with him in the age of 13 and he raped theloris Huerta.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, he did.
[SPEAKER_09]: And she talks about it and it's hurts because he mattered.
[SPEAKER_09]: His work mattered.
[SPEAKER_09]: Farm workers in this country have dignity and have protections today because of what this man helped build.
[SPEAKER_09]: That doesn't vanish.
[SPEAKER_09]: He always deserves credit.
[SPEAKER_09]: but the harm, the silence, the girls who never got statues.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, he was a great man who did awful things.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was an awful person, great organizer.
[SPEAKER_09]: And whenever these things happen, you know this.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're geared towards picking one side we want to live in.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right?
[SPEAKER_09]: He did great things, so let's not tear him down.
[SPEAKER_09]: Or, well, he did terrible things, so let's burn everything down.
[SPEAKER_09]: And the truth is hard.
[SPEAKER_09]: The truth asks us to hold two realities at once.
[SPEAKER_09]: Then, yes, someone can fight for justice in public and then commit injustice in private.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, Martin Luther King was a womanizer.
[SPEAKER_09]: John Lennon hit his first wife.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thomas Jefferson.
[SPEAKER_09]: He had then he was a racist, Thomas Jefferson, raped it under eight slave, Picasso was a monster to women.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the fact that this is happening now, excuse me, because survivors,
[SPEAKER_09]: have built something stronger than fear.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's going to be easier for the next ones.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it has never been harder in thousands of years of human history.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's never been harder for a man to get away with sexually assaulting a woman or a child than it is right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: Still too easy.
[SPEAKER_09]: Happens every single day.
[SPEAKER_09]: but it's never been harder, and it's gonna get harder.
[SPEAKER_09]: And there's gonna be more stories like this.
[SPEAKER_09]: We should be really ready.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm kind of shocked some rock stars we love.
[SPEAKER_02]: Have a great deal.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're rooting on the underrated girls, because there's men I love and listen to all the time.
[SPEAKER_09]: But the next generation is gonna inherit a world where power is less protected, and people are more protected.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because of people like Dolores Huerta and all the brave folks who've come forward.
[SPEAKER_10]: Look, you were saying that we need to look for new heroes.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I have the labor movement who else needs new heroes more than the labor movement.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, let's get some new some new all stars the labor movement needs a lot of attention.
[SPEAKER_09]: God knows the corporate media doesn't even know what exists anymore.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, and we need we need heroes of all kinds.
[SPEAKER_02]: And a lot of people in the corporate media are in unions.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_10]: They are.
[SPEAKER_09]: By the way, New York Times, misconduct is cheating at sports.
[SPEAKER_09]: Come on down here.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Disconduct.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's wild rape.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: I tried to write it in a way that it wouldn't get the email blocked today, but I was a little bit harsher on the way I retidal that then they did.
[SPEAKER_10]: But if you want to read the Times piece, or you want to read Dolores work to speak, we have both of those in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_10]: Speaking of heroes, I don't know what you thought of the elections in Illinois this week, John, because one of my, one of my friends, she is kind of a hero.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's amazing.
[SPEAKER_10]: Park a little boy who is a friend to hear at the bar she's been here two, three times.
[SPEAKER_10]: We want to get her back here.
[SPEAKER_10]: And she's a friend to Cat Abba Gazella, who cat only lost by three points.
[SPEAKER_10]: And the funny thing is, the guy who actually won, Daniel Biss, Mayor Daniel Biss, APEC spent $21 million in the Democratic primaries in Illinois and their two biggest targets.
[SPEAKER_10]: we're out of Gazella and this yeah I'm like damn and yet cat came within three points it was her first race she's 26 and more importantly she showed everybody that you can run a race and election and you don't have to go begging for money you can do things like make your campaign a mutual aid station which is what she wanted you to help people in the community even before she was elected she won't be that time but she probably will be down the road and
[SPEAKER_10]: It's just the fact of going, you don't have to do things the way we've always done them.
[SPEAKER_10]: You can do things differently and better for where you're at.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I just, you know, yes, he's a friend of mine, but you know, we all have personal heroes of ours.
[SPEAKER_10]: You're one of ours in many ways.
[SPEAKER_10]: For, you know, you're writing your book, which is just freaking fantastic.
[SPEAKER_10]: And, you know, in many ways, Cad is kind of a personal hero too.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think, both of us, Joe, do you like saying that?
[SPEAKER_09]: I have just got John Fetterman looked at her plate and said,
[SPEAKER_02]: This man, he needs to resign or just become a Republican, one of the two.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now you feed him a pack cash and he cheers for children killed in illegal wars.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's the veteran.
[SPEAKER_10]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_09]: And what?
[SPEAKER_09]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_09]: Honestly, the good people of the good Democrats are Pennsylvania.
[SPEAKER_09]: Fetterman on his worst day.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'll have him over Doug Mastriano on his worst day.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'll have him over a guy who owns a Confederate costume in his closet at home.
[SPEAKER_03]: True.
[SPEAKER_09]: Having said that I have enormous faith in the decency and judgment of the good Democratic people of Pennsylvania.
[SPEAKER_09]: Correct.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_10]: They will find somebody else that they will be like, you know what?
[SPEAKER_10]: We can just find somebody better than that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, let let let what why are we keeping John Fetterman from his Fox News correspondent why there you go why are we making the poor guy way I'll come all for anyone who anyone who proves that brain damage leads to maga support I think we have to study him and thank him for what he offers us
[SPEAKER_10]: Look, he is, he just, it, in some ways to me, it is, I get the people who are mad because of the fact that they, they look at it and they say, you know, I work my ass off to get that guy elected and I, these are the things that I believe now he's done.
[SPEAKER_10]: Some things that are exactly opposite.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, the way I defended him, the way I defended him, the way I defended him, the way I, the way I, yeah, of course.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I don't regret it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't regret it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't regret the Fendi game.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's better than Doug Maustriano.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, he's a fraud.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, he's a trader.
[SPEAKER_09]: But I ain't blaming myself.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm not going to feel any shame.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I don't really want to let myself see that.
[SPEAKER_10]: I also look at it in terms.
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, my mom being a nurse and my my my stepdad.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, I knew that.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Um, and I don't know if if either your parents had, um, um, any type of, uh, like Alzheimer's or dementia.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my, my aunt had a stroke.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right.
[UNKNOWN]: I
[SPEAKER_09]: I have my step back experience with both.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, my family.
[SPEAKER_10]: So I get that people have strokes.
[SPEAKER_10]: They could have brain damage and, you know, whatever.
[SPEAKER_10]: I just think it would be better for the people of Pennsylvania.
[SPEAKER_10]: When federalman's term comes up to be like, well, we appreciate what you did, some of it.
[SPEAKER_10]: And now we are going to go pick somebody else.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you can go home with you with your family.
[SPEAKER_02]: healthy and take care of yourself.
[SPEAKER_09]: Not at the workshop.
[SPEAKER_09]: Go home and keep ice away from your loved ones.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, he'll be working at Fox, guys.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, probably.
[SPEAKER_09]: Listen, the amount of times I've had Scott Jennings on CNN turned to me and say, Well, Democratic Senator John Fetterman thinks it's a great idea.
[SPEAKER_09]: He'll be working at Fox.
[SPEAKER_10]: You realize I could never be in the same room with Scott Jennings.
[SPEAKER_10]: because How do you not punch him in the face?
[SPEAKER_10]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's what I'm talking about.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm just saying, you know, well, because a lot of us were getting excited.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've read the Jesus parts of the Bible.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm like, yes, and I also don't get upset because I understand Mr. Jennings and he's always been very polite to me.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I know that everything he says in every conviction he has is geared around him getting his old boss's job and becoming the senator of Kentucky replacing Mitch McConnell.
[SPEAKER_09]: Everything he believes every conviction is geared around his own desire to have political power.
[SPEAKER_09]: And the fact that Elon Musk just gave ten million dollars to the other guy is kind of beautiful.
[SPEAKER_09]: We should all save with that.
[SPEAKER_09]: But that's why Mr. Getting says he will have any opinions he needs to have to become the senator of Kentucky.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's why he does what he does and that's why he goes and says I suffer the slings and arrows of these liberals.
[SPEAKER_09]: I take their abuse on TV all the time.
[SPEAKER_09]: When you call him out for being a bootlicker.
[SPEAKER_09]: he sees dollar science.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's how he works.
[SPEAKER_09]: Once you understand that, it's not quite so frustrating.
[SPEAKER_09]: You can make, maybe it's a life fun with it.
[SPEAKER_10]: I guess maybe it's a good idea.
[SPEAKER_10]: Then I usually don't mention him much at all, which, you know, I'm thinks probably in some ways would bother him more.
[SPEAKER_10]: He's like at least mentioned me, please.
[SPEAKER_10]: I get a nickel every time it happens.
[SPEAKER_09]: you know what the this is the problem CNN has like you have to find someone who will defend Trump and not drool on the actual table and remember the days of Jeffrey Lord people it's not easy even for CNN in New York we have such a hard time booking like intelligent Trump supporters on radio like I and the first term I was the I would I could get a few I'm a Chris Christie but you know it was so hard now
[SPEAKER_09]: It's it's tricky.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, they don't want to come on my show and they don't want me on theirs.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, and I don't think to be honest, I don't think there are very many intelligent Trump supporters.
[SPEAKER_10]: They're there there are there are now because they keep spot there are we are intelligent Trump supporters who are evil.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yes, okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then there are nice Trump supporters who are gullible.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, they're doing that whole split between Maga and America first.
[SPEAKER_10]: My contention is it actually does matter and actually G. Elliot Morris over its strength in numbers.
[SPEAKER_10]: He started to do the numbers and he's basically said, it does matter in the sense that it will split them enough, but if we can get enough of them to either sit out or God forbid a few of them even, I mean, you know, what the hell, Nick Fuentes is saying, telling his people, they're my dad, I guess.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right, whatever that day is people.
[SPEAKER_09]: His people don't vote is people are all 14.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's also true.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, this is also true.
[SPEAKER_10]: We can talk more about that in a board.
[SPEAKER_10]: I about obviously other things from the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_10]: We'll pull a couple more rounds with that.
[SPEAKER_10]: It is Thursday night.
[SPEAKER_10]: Here at the politics bar, you got the one.
[SPEAKER_10]: The only John Fugelsang, along with Jody Hamilton and me.
[SPEAKER_10]: Thanks for having me, kids.
[SPEAKER_14]: We love how you John.
[SPEAKER_10]: look we love having you on a Thursday night or any night really but we know a lot of nights you are over at serious exam which you know after you get down with politics bar you can cruise over there and listen to John because really who can get enough John not us we're gonna have another say we don't get him he's trying to distract me too like BDD does okay that was funny all right look more with John fecal saying when we come back Thursday night here at the politics bar
[SPEAKER_12]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the pilot's bar.
[SPEAKER_10]: last call on the first day nights you are hanging out here at the politics bar with joney and john fugle saying and me hopefully you guys didn't miss any of the show but we understand you're busy you do things you know you gotta catch the kids walk the dog whatever best way to make sure you don't miss anything is listen live on the radio but then also subscribe on your favorite podcast player or at the politics bar dot com as joney coin this term i think it's great it's march madness
[SPEAKER_10]: Because remember, it's normally $6 a month for the podcast, which is a buck 50 a week.
[SPEAKER_10]: But since there are five weeks this month, it's obviously less than a buck 50.
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, you do the math.
[SPEAKER_10]: Figure it out.
[SPEAKER_10]: Just go and subscribe.
[SPEAKER_10]: Check it out.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's there.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's a politics bar.
[SPEAKER_10]: I realize some people are not exactly smart enough to do the math.
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, they're the kind of people who, you know, they drive down the streets.
[SPEAKER_10]: They see the telephone pole and they go, hey, it looks like my family tree.
[SPEAKER_10]: Sorry, just saying, but there is even some intelligence, but with some of those MAGIFOX, because they have split off.
[SPEAKER_10]: We were saying this before the break, but the MAGIFOX and the America first folks, Marjorie Taylor Greene is the one who really has started to line that up.
[SPEAKER_10]: Magic has been doing it.
[SPEAKER_10]: But everybody else is following it, and they're going, okay, so they know they march still agrees with Trump on everything.
[SPEAKER_09]: Are some things that you're in sixth was just Dandy and Billionaires have it rough.
[SPEAKER_09]: And we'll do have abortions to deserve to die in difference.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right, the differences between maga and American first, they're both racist, they're both misogynists, they're both classes, they're both bigots.
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, you know, they're both stupid.
[SPEAKER_10]: The difference though is that it's just a couple of IQ points.
[SPEAKER_10]: And that's where the structure like Donald Trump said no more wars and now we have more wars and Donald Trump said he'd release all the Epstein files and he's only released some of the Epstein files and everything that comes out keeps pointing back to him.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I'm like, well, I will take whatever few votes that that could get.
[SPEAKER_10]: either them sitting at home or them voting for Democrats.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm fine with that.
[SPEAKER_10]: I was mentioned G. Elliot Morris over at strengthened numbers.
[SPEAKER_10]: And he said the difference is really about 10 percent.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's all I will imagine.
[SPEAKER_10]: K. Exactly.
[SPEAKER_10]: In the political races that we have today, 10 percent would give us Democratic House, a Democratic Congress and a Democratic President and Vice President.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's a lot.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: So they broke in the law every day since December 19th of 2025 to protect the child rapists.
[SPEAKER_09]: And now oil is over $100 a barrel, 13 troops are dead so far, over 100 troops are injured and they lied about those numbers.
[SPEAKER_09]: They don't need our allies, but now we need your allies help, and none of our allies are coming to help us.
[SPEAKER_09]: They've changed the story about why they did this.
[SPEAKER_09]: They have gone back and tinkered with their original story so many times.
[SPEAKER_09]: George Lucas thinks it's tacky at this point.
[SPEAKER_09]: And in the midst of all of this, the public is against it.
[SPEAKER_09]: And you got JD Vans who knows how to save himself.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, oh, JD Vans figured it out.
[SPEAKER_09]: Let's blame Joe Biden for the gas prices that are going up now under Trump.
[SPEAKER_09]: We play less than we do.
[SPEAKER_09]: We cheat board economics.
[SPEAKER_10]: And play that yesterday.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's like, how the hell do you've been there?
[SPEAKER_10]: You and Ron over in here 15 months now?
[SPEAKER_10]: You're blaming somebody else for them.
[SPEAKER_10]: No.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's every bit as pathetic and dishonest as we always knew they were.
[SPEAKER_09]: J.D.
[SPEAKER_09]: Vance.
[SPEAKER_09]: First off, none of these people were ever anti war.
[SPEAKER_09]: They all love when Putin is murdering civilians.
[SPEAKER_09]: None of them were anti war.
[SPEAKER_09]: They want to get elected.
[SPEAKER_09]: And they know that because they supported war 20 years ago, whatever would die, that they lost credibility.
[SPEAKER_09]: But they don't care because they're white, right wing people who don't mind being wrong about stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, J.D.
[SPEAKER_09]: Vance is saying for years, oh no, we can't go to war with Iran, like he wasn't being subtle.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was screaming.
[SPEAKER_09]: Don't touch the stove.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's hot, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: And now the stove's on fire, and the house is burning down.
[SPEAKER_09]: And J.D.
[SPEAKER_09]: Vance is standing on the lawn saying, Joe Biden left the stove on.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that's what he did.
[SPEAKER_09]: He can't fully endorse the war.
[SPEAKER_09]: He can't resize Trump, but he has to somehow emerge as the only sane voice in the room for in two years from now.
[SPEAKER_09]: So he's dodging every question about having an opinion on this war because he's so hoping.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was against it before I was not against being against it publicly.
[SPEAKER_09]: And like, why are you trying to drive away between me and the president?
[SPEAKER_09]: And it's like, bitch, you brought the wedge.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's your damn wedge.
[SPEAKER_09]: You, you're your wedge, but watching this guy.
[SPEAKER_09]: try because he's all he cares about is being present and it'll never happen but he's stupid so he's trying to carefully bookmark his own future integrity right while refusing to use any integrity in the present so he's blaming Joe Biden for the gas prices.
[SPEAKER_09]: I hope I wanted the blade Jimmy Carter for his door dash being late.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean seriously.
[SPEAKER_09]: Joe Biden saved us.
[SPEAKER_09]: Joe Biden's last two years of the best presidency of my lifetime, 10 million jobs lost and supply chains and chaos and no plan to get shots and arms and look what he did, the millions of jobs added and how he had, we had the lowest inflation of any capitalist nation post-COVID.
[SPEAKER_09]: He gave him such a soft landing and then these guys came in, they rolled back on all the clean energy investments.
[SPEAKER_09]: Launch an attack to steal Venezuelan oil launched another attack now to steal Iran's oil and it's sending the entire oil markets at the panic mode And little vans is like, why would Joe Biden do this?
[SPEAKER_09]: And he's not gonna work.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not gonna be able to play dumb about this, but what we have to watch out for is Tucker Carlson is doing
[SPEAKER_09]: what J.D.
[SPEAKER_09]: Vance is trying to do.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, right, because Carlson is running for president in 2028 on the high was too smart for Iran to get vote for me, white people, and just cat on the new maga and trust me, watching J.D.
[SPEAKER_09]: Vance doing his impression of Ron the Santa's doing his impression of Trump.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's the Magal eat him alive, Tucker Carlson is running for president and Joe Kent is one of Tucker's flunkies when he resigned the other day.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he gets credit for it, but like you know, we're in the the the the the the Mike Pence era of praising Republicans because they were honest about one thing right right so Joe can't leave the most remarkable thing was when he said I ran was not a threat to us and we're doing this.
[SPEAKER_09]: at Israel's behest where he said that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was like, all right, he's insanely honest.
[SPEAKER_09]: I blew anything.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's got a deal to be a cabinet position in Tucker Carlson's cabinet when he becomes president.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I said it as a joke on the air.
[SPEAKER_09]: The next morning, Joe Kent was the guest on Tucker Carlson's show and that was the only show he did.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, Anne, Joe Ken is now being running.
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe Ken is now being investigated by the FBI.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, of course, but by Donald Trump's FBI of course, yeah, but so you mean he'll be fine he'll be fine
[SPEAKER_09]: Cash Patel is stepping on rakes in his garage right now to find evidence.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right, but it's because because as you said, I mean, they are all still mostly on the same side, but that one little thing is separating them between, you know, the Maga and the American first.
[SPEAKER_10]: So you're saying that the Tucker will run under the American first banner and that JD will be forced to run under the Maga banner and haul all of Donald Trump's luggage behind him, which
[SPEAKER_09]: J.D.
[SPEAKER_09]: Vance will be running with Marco Rubio as his running mate on what I'm calling the vaginal dryness ticket.
[SPEAKER_14]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't disagree with that.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think I think you're 100% correct.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, as a lady, completely right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Jody, thank you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, you'll see.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, the Democrats are going to have a massive field of very, very, you're going to see Pritzker.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're going to see Governor Bashir, my, my co-host.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like him a lot.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're going to see Wes Moore, Europe.
[SPEAKER_09]: I wonder if Gavin Newsom's going to overcome his shyness and run.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're going to see him on a Democrats running.
[SPEAKER_09]: But Tucker Carlson is going
[SPEAKER_09]: the Republican media position, what Reagan did, what Trump did, I'm a celebrity.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he's going to try to position himself as an insider who's an outsider.
[SPEAKER_09]: And quite honestly, Tucker is smarter than any of these jackass.
[SPEAKER_09]: You are correct.
[SPEAKER_09]: Don't be surprised.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, don't be surprised if he is the GLP nominee because again, after Trump, after Bush, the worst president of all time, they had to radically rebrand what the entire party looked like.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't think they're going to go back to a bush type of figure after this.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's too bad.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, kid rocks have a tie to still be their nominee in 2032.
[SPEAKER_10]: They're going to have to deal with the fact of people bringing out the whole Tucker sunshine, you know, tanning your, another region.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's definitely that, that, that, that, you know, that would be an ad.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's which.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I think Tucker needs to actually just do workshops to teach his Tucker Carlson's
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, that thing he does, that's a lack of a gubernator.
[SPEAKER_08]: I understand you, you're saying things that I don't like but I can't put an argument together so I'm going to make this face because my audience is predominantly seeing your response to my displeasure.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, this black child look of the Fuddleman Tucker has like he's an ape in 2001 just saw the model left.
[SPEAKER_10]: The only thing the only thing that would be more perfect is if Tucker's name was something like Billy Bob.
[SPEAKER_09]: or Jimmy Joe, or Mark Wayne, because I think it's something a white guy's got a lot of nerve having this name.
[SPEAKER_09]: I call him Mark Wayne Mullett, because a Mullett is for guys who think that they're one head deserves two hairstyles, and a Mark Wayne is for guys who think they deserve two first names.
[SPEAKER_09]: Cut that out, man.
[SPEAKER_09]: If you're a black dude, I'll go with it, but not this, not this guy.
[SPEAKER_10]: I can't remember who I heard saying, if you say it with a different emphasis, it's you get Mark Wayne.
[SPEAKER_10]: Mark Wayne, you know what he's a drag queen.
[SPEAKER_10]: And you're like, okay, which, you know, I, which, of course, I'm sure if somebody, if that gets back to Mark Wayne Mullen, that he will be really upset.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you were starting to go, Mark Wayne.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, one of my favorite Tennessee Williams hero wins.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's all right.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's got a long history of de-escalation.
[SPEAKER_09]: When Rand Paul is your moral compass.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: But here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, Mark Wayne is doing his speech later in the day.
[SPEAKER_09]: Tulsi is testifying to the Intel.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Tulsi can't testifying.
[SPEAKER_09]: Like, come like this off.
[SPEAKER_09]: This human shrug emoji that she turned into.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, he's got a party room for her.
[SPEAKER_09]: But again, she's just like, like, literally editing her resume in real time.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: And she tried to answer the questions truthfully, while still playing improv for the audience of one.
[SPEAKER_09]: John Oshoff was a masterful with him.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's so good to people who will oversee elections and intelligence and federal power going into our midterms.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mark Wayne won't say who won the last election, Tulsi won't say what justifies the next war.
[SPEAKER_09]: And they're both like, it's okay.
[SPEAKER_09]: We'll handle democracy from here.
[SPEAKER_09]: Like we got people in charge of elections who don't believe in elections.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: People in charge of intelligence who don't believe in sharing intelligence.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is no longer a democracy with these clowns.
[SPEAKER_09]: Donald Trump is
[SPEAKER_09]: He's beta testing something else right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're correct.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, but that's.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mullen, NASA did Joe Biden win Arizona.
[SPEAKER_09]: You see him.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's like me trying to remember my Netflix password.
[SPEAKER_10]: Ah, I just, I get why they picked him.
[SPEAKER_10]: And the, the thing about Rand Paul.
[SPEAKER_10]: There's so many things that I, I disagree with Rand Paul on so many things.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, his hair first off.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, just look at it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: But why guys should not have an arrow, just saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Rand Paul doesn't have an Afro.
[SPEAKER_02]: He has a rat's nest.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, okay.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'll give you that.
[SPEAKER_02]: What the thing is?
[SPEAKER_09]: Rand Paul's like the rest of them guys.
[SPEAKER_09]: Rand Paul is a brave and narcissistic woman.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, he is.
[SPEAKER_09]: He is about himself and his political ambitions.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's no different than Marco Rubio.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's no different than Cash Patel.

[SPEAKER_09]: What's that?
[SPEAKER_09]: I think he's going to run in for president.
[SPEAKER_09]: They'd all run again if they could, but he won't.
[SPEAKER_09]: He won't.
[SPEAKER_09]: He knows better.
[SPEAKER_09]: He knows what his party turned into and he's trying to just keep his job and pretend he's still as dignity.

[SPEAKER_10]: He didn't fit in on it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right, federal and vote for it.
[SPEAKER_10]: But the fact that Rand Paul held the vote today, as he said, he would.
[SPEAKER_10]: He's like, fine, passed out committee whenever he will.
[SPEAKER_09]: The only difference between Mark Wayne Mullin and Kristi known is that Corey Lee went toowski doesn't have a special hotel door knock for Mark Wayne Mullin.
