[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not joking.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: This this is a
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you didn't go out on a remote and get fired today.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's good.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, I did not.
[SPEAKER_07]: I did not go to Tennessee to speak to anybody.
[SPEAKER_07]: And then you called you texted.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you posted one at one 31 Trump's post went out on truth toilet.
[SPEAKER_02]: True, true, sensual.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, truth, truth, truth, truth, sensual.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, exactly as Bob says, correct, Jerry.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he posted basically that he, he fire her via social media, which he does.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's the thing, you were right.
[SPEAKER_02]: She was in Tennessee.
[SPEAKER_02]: She was doing some DHS, blah, blah, blah thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: She was up in front of an audience, giving a speech.
[SPEAKER_02]: and then President Miller fired her.
[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody had to be with her who was coordinating with Miller.
[SPEAKER_02]: And as soon as she had stepped out, they said she's on and he pressed post.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have, in fact, actually, I have a friend, she is a professor at the University of Nebraska Lincoln and the Journalism Department, Casey, who for those of you, if you're listening, if you know, say how to Casey format, I've known Casey since back when we were both in Jay School.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, you're babes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, well, she, it's funny thing is is that she was like, man, I hate college.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am never going to be, after this, I am done and I am never, I loved college.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, now she's actually a professor, so she's kind of like, I think she has two or three masters and a doctorate now, and she's, I mean, thanks to that, I loved college, I wish I could just live in college.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was because I had already been working in radio at the time and then so we were at the college radio station because it was required that you did some shifts to the college radio station.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: I liked her.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think she was great.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then a few years later we were both working at the same radio cluster which in professional radio by the way a group of radio stations is known as a cluster so that way you can drop the proper word after it when they do something bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: just saying so anyway so Chris so so Casey and I were working at the same radio cluster and a one of the stations in the cluster was a top 40 station um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um-um
[SPEAKER_02]: And corporate decided to blow up the station now.
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't physically blow up the station.
[SPEAKER_02]: It just means that they change the format.
[SPEAKER_02]: They fire everybody and they they wipe everything.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's welcome to liberal radio.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, liberal radio.
[SPEAKER_02]: had been liberal since the 70s probably mostly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, so Casey is out at at what we used to call an event.
[SPEAKER_02]: Some stations called remote.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're out doing something and she was out at like some gas station or something.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you're given prizes away.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, we're going to have this event and that's why I'm a barrel.
[SPEAKER_07]: She's just something or an bikini, whatever.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because she's a girl.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, they, yeah, the misogyny anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: She was just, you know, wearing a station shirt and doing the stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: somebody else's back running the control board in the radio station.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's when corporate decides to blow it up.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll be in the air.
[SPEAKER_02]: Emily afternoon, like three o'clock in the afternoon, she's on the air.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's out doing this stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: She goes to a break and the person who's back at the control board says, by the way, they just blew up the station and you no longer have a job.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the bosses say that you need to bring the station vehicle back when you're done
[SPEAKER_07]: I remember when KMT, 94.7 here in Los Angeles, was a rock station, and then it went to the wave, which was Windem Hill, mainly.
[SPEAKER_02]: You see, you can music, you can slit your wrist.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, I literally was driving to school, listening to the rock station.
[SPEAKER_02]: and all of a sudden.
[SPEAKER_07]: Boom.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I like her in a pill.
[SPEAKER_07]: I have no issues with them.
[SPEAKER_07]: I have.
[SPEAKER_02]: But still.
[SPEAKER_02]: The change over was.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: So that's dramatic.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a common thing in radio for those of you who don't know this is common.
[SPEAKER_02]: But this happened to my friend Casey literally and she's like, are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, and the person back at the back of the station was like, no, no, you need to finish finishing your remote shift, they say, and then at the end of the hour, we're going to blow it up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just take your land back.
[SPEAKER_02]: So she literally had to do 40 more minutes.
[SPEAKER_02]: for a station that was dead, knowing she didn't have a job when she got back to it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I wouldn't have done it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's what happened to Christie known today.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hit it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Get the plane with the bed, coming home.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, sorry, no bed, no plane.
[SPEAKER_02]: Although Donald Trump did, he did say that she's getting a new job.
[SPEAKER_02]: So when Trump basically tweeted out that he's firing her, he also claimed that he is now sending her to be the quote unquote special envoy for the shield of the Americas.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then said, I'll tell you what that is this weekend.
[SPEAKER_07]: That was my question.
[SPEAKER_07]: What is the shield of the Americas?
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody knows.
[SPEAKER_02]: Rep. Jared Moscow with this afternoon said he said I bet that Donald Trump got that idea after watching the Avengers, which nice nice line Moscow.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's well done.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a good rap.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's not anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Christie the Nome was out doing this thing has this.
[SPEAKER_02]: And remember, not only did she give a speech, but she took questions afterwards.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, who?
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, this is one of the few times where it actually is a good thing that the right wing decided to put all their plants out there and had pre-screened questions so that she didn't actually have to answer the question, hey, Kristi, did you know you just got fired?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, I just got, hi, Jim, call me.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, you just got fired, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: for those people who don't remember what happened to Jim Komey.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you refer to him?
[SPEAKER_07]: It was here in Los Angeles or in Southern California for sure, and he was fired via tweet and did not get to take the FBA plane.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, right.
[SPEAKER_07]: He did fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was doing stuff.
[SPEAKER_07]: He was in the middle of stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Donald Trump went in fire.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, I got it in the collage today in the news collage.
[SPEAKER_02]: I put that together quick today.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I did one of those were Donald Trump did a you fired and she's sitting there.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, no, I was going.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like her, but at the same time, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm with you on that, but at the same time, I don't think anybody should be let go that way.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, you need to be told that you're being let go before you're out in public.
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree with you completely as much as I, uh, you remote is done.
[SPEAKER_02]: They blew the station.
[SPEAKER_02]: Please bring the vehicle back.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's not the way to do.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but radio stations have been doing that for about 25 years now.
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you want to, if you want to know one of the reasons why I'm not a big fan of corporate radio, they've been doing crap like that for a quarter century.
[SPEAKER_02]: So they all think that they're just business.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how business is done.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, my dad, when he went to work on my mom's show, he basically were like a, what we would call a polo shirt and like exactly just like that with the polo, but I got jeans on no slacks, but no, he wore slacks.
[SPEAKER_07]: He did wear jeans to work.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I mean, he was business casual.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it was totally that, but if he were in a suit,
[SPEAKER_07]: Then somebody's getting fired.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_07]: And everybody always shoot tie jacket.
[SPEAKER_02]: They see, they see your dad coming in and they go, crap, everybody be on your best behavior.
[SPEAKER_02]: And who's getting fired?
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: And one time, I remember Sharky Conway telling me this, which was Sharky Beaty.
[SPEAKER_07]: Anyway, she was his assistant.
[SPEAKER_07]: She knew him from the Gary Mooreshire.
[SPEAKER_07]: She had been his assistant forever.
[SPEAKER_07]: A long time, forever.
[SPEAKER_07]: and he came in in a suit and she goes, who's getting fired, he goes, nope, I just want to a funeral.
[SPEAKER_07]: Tell everybody everything's okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hillary took everything off and put something else on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and that is, look, you sense signs, you sense things.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is one of the issues today, is that people, people do sense signs, but look, everybody's been prepared.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said eight months ago that the people that I knew that sources that I knew said, Christy, no one was gonna be one of the first ones to be fired.
[SPEAKER_02]: well also she's sucked at her job.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, but had sex should have been fired first.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm just going to go with that.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I, you should have.
[SPEAKER_02]: But remember, you're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's woman.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, but people were prepared.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Moscow, it's put together like a whole cliff thing from from the old, though, with the apprentice thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he did all of that.
[SPEAKER_02]: But this one, I don't, I don't know anybody saw this one coming.
[SPEAKER_02]: I hear, let me play this and see if people can identify the voice.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, Christy Nome, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's your legacy, corruption and chaos.
[SPEAKER_00]: Parents and children tear gas, moms and nurses, U.S. citizens getting shot in the face.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now that you're gone, don't think you get to just walk away.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guarantee you you will still be held accountable.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, Governor J.B. Pritzker, Bill and Oye, come on down, brother.
[SPEAKER_07]: Maybe you're a future president.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd be great.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd love that.
[SPEAKER_02]: What have we said?
[SPEAKER_02]: What have we said or the two words that every Democrat needs to know and needs to Love needs to to take into their souls the two words.
[SPEAKER_07]: They are accountability and affordability
[SPEAKER_07]: And day is a bad one.
[SPEAKER_02]: You will be many day.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I kind of did me do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's already trying to appoint somebody that he can't appoint.
[SPEAKER_02]: Dude, pick a first name.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, look.
[SPEAKER_02]: What talk to you guys all about that?
[SPEAKER_07]: This is a serial killer name.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, kind of.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you're not wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to give you not wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, we will obviously talk about Donald's dominant legal war.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, not that one.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, not that.
[SPEAKER_02]: The other one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the Iran one.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk about that one as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: And some more effects.

[SPEAKER_02]: Traded Christy-Nome for Mark Wayne Mullen?
[SPEAKER_02]: Man, that's way worse.
[SPEAKER_02]: That duck made a lateral move to LaRange.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said to him back, I said, wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_02]: With that duck's first name, happened to have been fup.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, it is a little fup duck.
[SPEAKER_02]: I noticed I was very clear in my
[SPEAKER_02]: I could do the mother fesson plucker.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, good god.
[SPEAKER_02]: 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 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_02]: Look, oh, you know, it's one of those things where I don't like how she was fired, but I am so glad that she is gone.
[SPEAKER_02]: In the news on Tap today in the second round, Trump land in trouble are first sub-segment.
[SPEAKER_02]: Trump removes his DHS gnome, which, you know, we didn't review your yard gnome, it's spring, whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: He fired Kristi gnome as we mentioned earlier.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is now trying to replace her with Mark Wayne Mullin, like I said.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pick a first name, dude.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, seriously.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, these parents, you know, look, I understand two first names, one set of chromosomes.
[SPEAKER_02]: But watch, it's possible.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he's going to try to replace Mullen.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Trump claims the replacement of known with Mullen is effective on March 31st.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mullen is not Senate confirmed.
[SPEAKER_02]: Has to be Senate confirmed only 51 votes.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's not even eligible to become acting secretary under laws, federal laws governing cabinet level vacancies.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's, oh, he's going to start.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, he's not.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not because he's not eligible to start.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's Corey Lewandowski to take over for.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's go, Fred.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I don't, I don't think Mark Wayne is Corey's type.
[SPEAKER_07]: But is Cory going to take over for his girlfriend?
[SPEAKER_02]: And no, no, Mark Wayne, he only was, oh, well, that's a good, that's an interesting ponder as a fill in you mean between, hmmm, and then they can take the bed plain everywhere.
[UNKNOWN]: My high club, that's what Jody's thinking of.
[SPEAKER_02]: Miles does a girl who can't say no about her affair.
[SPEAKER_07]: 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 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_02]: Okay, you're not wrong, you're not wrong, you're not wrong.
[SPEAKER_07]: She was asked specifically.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, as she was this week, that's part of why she was fired.
[SPEAKER_02]: First by the way, I'm going back to Mullen here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oklahoma State Law says that Mullen's seat, because remember if Mullen moves to that, his seat will be open.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Oklahoma State Law says that whoever fills in is the caretaker because Oklahoma State Law says, first things first, if there's an open seat, it has to be filled in the next major general election.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is major general election is this fall.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: The governor can appoint somebody, has to be from the same party, but that caretaker cannot run for the spot in Oklahoma.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fall.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Oklahoma will have a caretaker senator.
[SPEAKER_02]: And their job is basically going to be shut up and stay out of the headlines.
[SPEAKER_02]: because whoever is going to be running for a second, that's a moment, it's bright red.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, you know, but at the same time, this gives an opening to whatever Democrats are going to try to run for a second in an open home.
[SPEAKER_07]: I say go for it, Dems.
[SPEAKER_02]: Go all the way.
[SPEAKER_07]: Don't waste time.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: But back to what you were saying about Chris, you know, we have some more stuff here.
[SPEAKER_02]: The big reason why
[SPEAKER_02]: Cristina um uh there are some people who are speculating that the reason that she got fired was because she wasn't really doing all of the jobs that um that Donald Trump wanted her to do you mean it's even Miller.
[SPEAKER_02]: exactly because we know's in charge really.
[SPEAKER_02]: But the biggest thing, Alex Shepherd, who I have issues with sometimes over at New Republic, but he did post this out on social media today.
[SPEAKER_02]: He said, look, for Trump, you can basically murder and pillage as long as you don't say something on TV that pisses him off.
[SPEAKER_02]: He does not like firing people and basically never does it unless you violate the sacred TV rule.
[SPEAKER_02]: his version of hiring people boils down to thing one firing people suggest you are losing and thing two trump basically believes that people who say nice things about him on TV are good and people who say things about him that he doesn't like are bad
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is, and Chris, you know, I'm one out there.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it admitted that the $200 million DHS ad campaign, thanking Trump was his idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: And now she said this back in February, but then at the Senate and the House hearings this week, she got nailed on that, among other things.
[SPEAKER_02]: She got nailed on this week.
[SPEAKER_07]: But I just wanted to just double check.
[SPEAKER_07]: Did.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mark Wayne Mullen called Pete Heggseth President, not once, but twice.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why is he like that?
[SPEAKER_02]: Apparently, Trump has been...
[SPEAKER_02]: I said this what, about eight months ago, that no one was gone.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And apparently, there has been several ones.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would say at least three, three, four.
[SPEAKER_02]: where there have been internal discussions extremely quiet aka keeping them from Christie and of course Corey that Trump wanted Mullen.
[SPEAKER_02]: He thinks Mullen will be similarly cool but less showy about it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because he doesn't need the hair in the makeup.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I don't know about that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, Mullen likes to go on Fox and the other bright wing propaganda channels.
[SPEAKER_02]: But the thing that, the thing that, it's just like Hoback.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, sorry, homin, up in Minneapolis.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you remember, they replaced the diminutive neo-Nazi and I don't mean height-wise.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a very small man who is not that tall.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, also there's that.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he's just a small man.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, as a human being,
[SPEAKER_02]: Cool, small, evil made, and then his height reflects that somehow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't fake work throughout that way, I guess.
[SPEAKER_02]: But they replaced him with Hobak.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, homein.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you've noticed, things have somewhat calmed down.
[SPEAKER_02]: When we talked to Matt McNeil here last week, Matt was saying, you know, yeah, it hasn't calmed down as much as we want, and yes, some of the ice monsters have moved to the suburbs.
[SPEAKER_02]: which makes it sound better than it is, but they just, they, they, they, they're, they're still doing some things.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're just not being as obvious about our violent.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Remember, police abuse it police, police who are not doing their job right, police who are racist and sexist,
[SPEAKER_02]: and bigoted had been beating up brown people and black people and women and LGBTQ people and handicapped people for ages.
[SPEAKER_02]: And before we had cell phone cameras, they would say stuff and be all armed with it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But this stuff has been going on quietly for decades.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I'm in Rodney King.
[SPEAKER_02]: The difference is that now Trump has been hept to the fact that this crap is not good on TV.
[SPEAKER_02]: This gets you bad ratings, which gets you bad ratings in the polls.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's telling people, cut it out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Stop making me look bad on TV.
[SPEAKER_07]: Except for that war that makes him look bad.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, that's the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Judd is also right about that.
[SPEAKER_02]: But other than that, other than your warmest is like, in a play, was it right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's the big reason that a number of people are thinking that Donald Trump, and especially because the hearings this week really put a huge, huge exclamation point on it,
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, especially when you had Tillis go in and just absolutely rip her to shreds and rip her to shreds legitimately exactly there's a certain level of incompetence that a authoritarianism demands yes you can't have it be too incompetent because if it's too incompetent the people will rise up and they will kill you they'll figure it out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you got to be kind of half-assed, which is half-hashes and works.
[SPEAKER_02]: But you can't be too half-assed.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because if you're too half-assed about it, the rooms figure out the con and then they nail your ass.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what it apparently Donald was like, you've made too many mistakes and you've made them on TV.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that's where she wants to be all the time.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So.
[SPEAKER_07]: Bye.
[SPEAKER_07]: Ben, she should have been fired after hexeth.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm just going to say it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Signal get you should have fired that man.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're not wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: Keg breath should have been fired along.
[SPEAKER_02]: He should have never been hired.
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like when we were talking with Bob last night, I mean, Keg breath at best is a fox weekend host.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is the best that he should have been working way up in time.
[SPEAKER_02]: You are also correct on that one.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's just I assume he's hung over every day.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are literally multiple reports many times of producers at Fox and Friends weekend who reported that he would come in drunk as a skunk and not not in time enough to get hair and makeup done and be prepared.
[SPEAKER_02]: So for example, he'd come in.
[SPEAKER_02]: somewhat disheveled for the first segment, and then in the in the ad break, they would probably do a stretch ad break where they do, you've got a little float time.
[SPEAKER_02]: All of you who are Stephanie Miller fans are in the concept of a hard break at a float break, exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: So they would do a float break and they would do an extended float break.
[SPEAKER_02]: Move ads from later on in the hour so that hair and makeup could do a really quick touch up on them so he didn't look so bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because he didn't get his ass to work on that.
[SPEAKER_07]: He sounded professional.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean depends on what you I think he's a professional.
[SPEAKER_02]: A hold.
[SPEAKER_02]: There he is.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is an expert.
[SPEAKER_02]: A hold.
[SPEAKER_02]: As far as somebody who belongs in the position of a Secretary of Defense, no, no, he's not that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And obviously now, of course, you know, is not the Secretary of Homeland Security, which we should get rid of Homeland Security.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, there's a great piece by the way from pro-publica in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_02]: Internal DHS record shows Secretary Nolan lied to Congress about Cori Lundeski's role in DHS contracts.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that is where I absolutely love, J.B. Pritzker, keeping the focus on accountability.
[SPEAKER_02]: Once I saw Jared Moskowitz, he was keeping the focus on accountability, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Any Democrat worth their salt needs to be focusing on accountability and affordability.
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's going to be accountability for all of these awful, this awful immigration wars.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's also going to have to be accountability for this stupid ass illegal Iran more.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm mad at some dumps right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am too in our first segment in the first round under Trump's illegal Iran war under the section Congress fails to do its jobs.
[SPEAKER_02]: Senate Republicans voted down the war powers legislation to halt the Iran war.
[SPEAKER_07]: But then it's not except for Federmint.
[SPEAKER_02]: So except for Federmint who needs to leave the scene and go get medical help.
[SPEAKER_02]: But also Federmint, I didn't even pull this, but he said something really
[SPEAKER_02]: Bigoted, aimed at Medi Hassan.
[SPEAKER_07]: I know, what is going on?
[SPEAKER_07]: Everybody's getting on Medi Hassan.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, because Medi Hassan is, he's actually a really decent journalist.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's English.
[SPEAKER_02]: By the way, he's a journalist and, you know, he's Islamic and he's proud of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have no problem.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to get Medi here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I have to see if we can get Medi in a more.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, look, because I mean, what both reach out to him from different directions, but it's just the fact of Betty's a good guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't always agree with the things that the things his his positions.
[SPEAKER_02]: Same.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's pretty screwed to us in in the types of things that he believes in and in the way that that he does and that he has his people do journals and there are people who are no longer working for Zateo, who did work there and because they didn't necessarily, they didn't have the
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, I stand up for people who have integrity.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm not the biggest fan of his, but everybody giving him crap.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cause he's because they go, look, it's a successful Brown Muslim.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just a stupid ass thing, it'd be like hitting BDD.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I got a set up, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just because somebody's a Muslim, or Jew, or Christian, or an atheist, I don't freaking care.
[SPEAKER_07]: Does that matter?
[SPEAKER_07]: It shouldn't.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, actually, it's one of the things we can talk with John Feele saying about what tonight when he comes in.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I'm like, it doesn't matter.
[SPEAKER_02]: And most of us here in the bar don't think it matters.
[SPEAKER_02]: But some people, especially obviously, Federman, who decided, well, I'm just going to take a swing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jack asked.
[SPEAKER_02]: But there are some other Democrats who aren't doing their job.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a small handful of Democrats in Congress who have refused to rule out giving Trump more money for his illegal war.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we got to talk about that because look, when we're talking about accountability, the accountability is not just for the Trump mega Republicans who don't give a damn about the law.
[SPEAKER_02]: Accountability, and I know I'm not nearly as harsh a line on this as some of the folks like Medi, like, um, uh, I won't even list.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are some Democrats who you need to understand if you're against the war you need to be against the war and if you already voted against the war and virtually all of them have There's absolutely no reason for you to do anything other than say no more money for war.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you Because guess what DHS still closed
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, look.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to take a break.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to get a drink.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to get a drink.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to get a couple people here in the bar drinks that need them.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we're going to come back with the drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it talks about integrity.
[SPEAKER_02]: Talks about integrity and the law.
[SPEAKER_02]: We will do that here.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a Thursday night freshen up your drink and then come right back and join us here at the Pontics Park.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a fun evening, we're having a good time, and we're glad you are having a good time with us.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here at the politics.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mark, thank you by the way to everybody who is listening on all of our great live radio affiliates and also all of you folks who are future people, listening on the podcast, wherever you happen to be.
[SPEAKER_02]: By the way, it is March.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you can listen on your favorite podcast player.
[SPEAKER_02]: But frankly, we think the better deal is over at the politicsbar.com, because it's normally $6 a month, which breaks down to about a buck 50 a week
[SPEAKER_02]: But since there are five weeks this month, it's actually less than a buck 50.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, I know you're looking to be going, come on man, look, true, do the math.
[SPEAKER_02]: If it was a buck 50 a week, it would be less than that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And in fact, it's actually less if you do the annual subscription.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the best thing you can do, you go subscribe to the politicsbar.com.
[SPEAKER_02]: You get the podcast ad free, you get the news on tap, and you get the drink of the day with the recipe.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which we're going to give you right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Check it out at the politicsbar.com.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, Jodie.
[SPEAKER_02]: I liked this one.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was I was when I first read over the this one.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know I was like wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_02]: What what and then you have to get to the end.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to read through the whole history before you're like, oh, oh, I get it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I get it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So for those people who are subscribed.
[SPEAKER_02]: They know, but for those people who are not.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you enlighten them.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: The drink is called a stone fence.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't fence cocktail.
[SPEAKER_02]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it's inspired by the Boston Massacre.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, it's actually inspired somewhat by the Boston Massacre, but more John Adams reaction.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Two, the Boston Massacre, which Jody did not, she buried lead on that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And she's kind of like, yeah, it's a Boston massacre.
[SPEAKER_02]: A bunch of people got killed and you're like, oh, that's awful.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you read through and you did really get history on this.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's I did do it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I copied and pasted from others.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, there's some editing in here, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a little bit of editing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did a little editing, too, which is fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think, uh, uh, natural archives, maybe they need to edit a couple things.
[SPEAKER_02]: But anyway,
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you guys don't know the story of the Boston Massacre, basically England got into a stupid war.
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of wars are done.
[SPEAKER_02]: But a stupid war with France, the seven years war, and they needed money.
[SPEAKER_02]: They decided they were going to screw the colonists, especially the folks in Boston, and the folks in Boston were like, and they had a little face-off.
[SPEAKER_02]: with the Tory soldiers and a bunch of soldiers shot a bunch of protesters.
[SPEAKER_07]: Sound familiar?
[SPEAKER_02]: Especially some of our friends up in Minneapolis, yes, unfortunately.
[SPEAKER_02]: But here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we were a colony at that point where on this side of the pond, and one of the founding fathers happens to be this guy, uh, a big summer Adams.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, a little bit, little bit, little bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: His name was John Adams, he ended up becoming, um, was it our second president or second president?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: I couldn't remember a second president.
[SPEAKER_07]: Jefferson was our third.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Washington Adams Jefferson.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: So.
[SPEAKER_02]: Adams was also a lawyer and nobody in Boston would defend these soldiers who had shot the protesters.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody would, but Adams took it on because everybody knew that Adams had integrity mentioned I said earlier, you know, integrity matters professional integrity.
[SPEAKER_02]: So was bad later, but going, I mean, look, not everybody has perfected every stroke of their life.
[SPEAKER_02]: Adams was seeing, you know, whatever, if you've seen Hamilton anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: But the fact of the matter is, professionally, as a lawyer.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody was like, you know, Adams was the Mikey of the life serial of law back in Boston here, you know.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's one way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Adams will do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: What the hell?
[SPEAKER_07]: No, he's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you have to defend.
[SPEAKER_07]: You have to defend people, even if they're guilty.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're going to be a nation of laws, you have to defend the laws.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to make sure that the system works.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: You have to make sure that the government is not doing anything untoward to the defendant.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even if the defendant is guilty.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And here's the thing, Adam is made sure that the officer and the soldiers who shot got an honest trial, they ended up not having to go to jail, which, you know, we didn't know the evidence.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now you guys can see it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to, but they didn't know it then at the time, you guys can read through the full history.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a great story of the pre-revolutionary times.
[SPEAKER_02]: and it really points out the importance of believing in and adhering to the rule of law and importance that people with integrity do in their jobs.
[SPEAKER_02]: In this case, Adam is a lawyer, matters.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is one of the reasons why you don't fire people when they're out on a remote, just saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are ways to do professional things and there are ways not to do professional
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, Christy doesn't either, but, you know, and we hate her guts, but that still doesn't excuse fire.
[SPEAKER_07]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, I low with her, and by the way, I'm a big proponent of public defenders.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: They do God's work, man.
[SPEAKER_07]: These people with no money, piles and piles, we know you public defender.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you anyway.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, anybody that works for the public defender's office in any county, any city.
[SPEAKER_07]: they are underpaid and overworked everywhere all the time just like nurses all the time and they are doing God's work they're trying to help their clients they are the nurses of legal system there and and I'm sorry but we have put people to death that we're innocent so I love prosecutors they do their job
[SPEAKER_02]: right I love good prosecutors.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I look, that's, that's just the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why it matters.
[SPEAKER_02]: It matters whether somebody has integrity, whether they are if you're in Jersey, you can't get out and fill up your tank.
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you're in Jersey, somebody feels you tank.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it still matters if the person who does it has integrity.
[SPEAKER_02]: It matters.
[SPEAKER_02]: regardless of where you're at, if the person who is doing your lawn or stalking the shelves.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's a good one for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: How does it matter that the person with Walmart has integrity?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because the person who has integrity at the Walmart.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll make sure that things are in the right place where they take some time.
[SPEAKER_02]: They make sure that things are faced in the right place.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because otherwise when you go into the Walmart or the coals or whatever you're going into, whatever story, your local Bodega, and you go to the place that's supposed to be and it's not.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they have stuff, but it's in the wrong place.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_07]: Bonnie runs into that all the time at the Walmart and Burbank here.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it matters in every place having integrity regardless of what you do matters.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whether you're in an office, whether you're outside working, whether you're wrenching, I don't care what you're doing.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you're retired, guess what?
[SPEAKER_02]: You still matters you haven't.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, it matters you haven't integrity period.
[SPEAKER_02]: Always.
[SPEAKER_02]: So anyway, that is basically the theme of the drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_02]: And actually it's a really, it's a really simple drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's really easy to make.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: You just need a high bulb glass.
[SPEAKER_07]: Two ounces of aged or dark rum, so it's not a light rum.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whatever rum you prefer, just make it dark, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hard apple cider.
[SPEAKER_07]: Easy to find.
[SPEAKER_07]: And ice.
[SPEAKER_07]: Optionally, you don't need it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Some people just say, if ice, I get different kinds of ice.
[SPEAKER_02]: But at the drink, I'm talking about the drink.
[SPEAKER_07]: So basically, pour the rum into the glass, a pint if you want to have a lot.
[SPEAKER_07]: I disagree, I mean, if you're at home and not driving just how you know in your well-apportion plane that you're not going to have access to anymore, I mean And then you top it with the cider and isis optional, I mean it all depends on how you keep your cider Right, because you want to kind of cool but not cold It's really easy just do that and then you're done.
[SPEAKER_07]: Easy as drink.
[SPEAKER_07]: We've I think done other than the shot at whiskey
[SPEAKER_02]: true true.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, if you believe in the rule of law, it is for everybody, quality under the law that is literally on the state cap of Nebraska.
[SPEAKER_02]: So as it should be, there you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Any parts, if you guys missed any part of the drink of the day, you guys know what to do.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just subscribe at the politics bar dot kind of.
[SPEAKER_02]: We do have some news and information today in the media and entertainment section are fifth round there.
[SPEAKER_02]: By the way, legendary Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz, dead at 89.
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you're Notre Dame fan, and I know that one of our former presidents, well, TV president, Mr. Marley.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, Martin, anyway.
[SPEAKER_07]: So it's him, Conway.
[SPEAKER_07]: Huge Notre Dame fan.
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Any.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, Savannah Guthrie made her first today show, this is a lot of disappearance.
[SPEAKER_02]: As okay as you can.
[SPEAKER_02]: Be your mom still missing.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, of course.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I can't believe they made her go on television.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if they made her.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think she wanted to because there was a lot of rumors and BS and stuff and she just wanted to chill everybody and be like, you know, me and my family were doing as okay as we can be, just everybody chill.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think that's when things are said.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just can't even.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's got a suck for her family.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's not funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't even.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll take the message anyway.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, I'll go to voice mail in a second.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: No big deal.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, the trial it could lead to the breakup of ticket master's parent company live nation is underway.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know that it'll actually do that, but
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, some better news Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan may reunite at the Oscars for a Rob Ryan or tribute and I would like to see that along with Barbara for the Robert Redford thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it should be Oscar should be good.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Brother David said he may want to come into the bar and just actually talk to us here.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he used to be the film of theater critic at the LA Times.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see.
[SPEAKER_07]: All I know is that the
[SPEAKER_07]: has always been concentrating on who's performing and not who has passed away, as far as the television audience.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I see what you're saying.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, that's wrong.
[SPEAKER_07]: I want to see the photos.
[SPEAKER_07]: I want to see the names.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't care who's performing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I want them to perform.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want it to be a good performance that doesn't detract.
[SPEAKER_07]: It adds to it.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's been detracting.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just say in folks, Mr. Hamilton's daughter says y'all better produce it right, that's all I'm saying.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, and trust me, my dad had a really good idea about the Oscars, but he is not hired for it, but it would have been funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: Would have been great if you guys haven't done just contact Tony.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, by the way, uh, somebody, unfortunately, who has a, um, not so good, uh, had a not so good week.

[SPEAKER_07]: Jody.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, oh.
[SPEAKER_07]: Name is Jody.
[SPEAKER_07]: And she was her legal guardian for a long time.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a good name.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, um,
[SPEAKER_07]: And she's lovely, by the way.
[SPEAKER_07]: And she will take care of Britt, if bring her back.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because Brittney hired her.

[SPEAKER_02]: Jamie Lee Curtis has confirmed the effects show The Bear is ending with season five.

[SPEAKER_02]: Happens to be in media and entertainment section there in the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of news that the election land section is big today.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I definitely think we should we should talk about some of that stuff because
[SPEAKER_02]: There's some more news there as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: Texas Republican Rep Tony Gonzalez, remember the guy who um, his girlfriend set her.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, my father's last girlfriend.
[SPEAKER_02]: He, you know, was Trader Poorly, he admitted he had a sexual relationship with her.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, here's Tony.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, you would think that Tiny Johnson, if he had any affix in integrity, would come out and say, get rid of him.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tiny Johnson called on Rep Gonzalez to drop his reelection bid.
[SPEAKER_02]: He hasn't told the middle of this month to drop the reelection bid and Gonzalez says, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he said, even if you drop your reelection bid, we don't want you to resign.
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course not.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because then he needs to vote.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, well, I, there's lots of reasons we call him Tiny Johnson.

[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, Todd.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hi, Rosy.
[SPEAKER_02]: My cousin, my cousin, Todd.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have always thought of him as the arbiter of cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was about five years old than me, and he was on radio.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was a radio DJ before I was.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's great.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's great.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm always doing, I can't even recall this way.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll give you a call this weekend, Todd.

[SPEAKER_02]: You like him, Judy.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a good guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: By the way, thank you to everybody who does reach out to us on all of our great social media platforms as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tom over in the Facebook corner of the bar here, he's got some some more talk here.
[SPEAKER_02]: So to scan it over here in the blue sky corner.
[SPEAKER_02]: Scandal first, here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Scandal says there may not be American boots on the ground in Iran, but American troops are being killed anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: Scandal,
[SPEAKER_02]: Tom also on the warfront.
[SPEAKER_02]: He said here in the break said as a disabled four-time combat veteran, he was in Bosnia, Iraq, twice, and Afghanistan.
[SPEAKER_02]: He says, I wish the horrors of war on nobody.
[SPEAKER_02]: As I've seen friends and co-workers get blown up or worse, and those images never go away.
[SPEAKER_02]: As I do feel for the military and their families, they're going to have to be living with the loss from these, the people who we've lost already, and that's what we're getting that we know about.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, um, he said he used to have a job at one point delivering the horrible news to people that their loved ones.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, which I, that's got to be one of the hardest jobs, but Um, he said if anybody should have boots on the ground in Iran, it should be the children of the orange fell in and the children of any member of Congress who votes to agree Trump's war.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got that.
[SPEAKER_02]: That should be a law.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm what beyond that.
[SPEAKER_07]: I have a point to declare war.
[SPEAKER_07]: Congress, people need to.
[SPEAKER_02]: If they have children or if they have like, nieces and nephews, brother sisters, and they have the relatives that are of age between age and age 26.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they don't get to put them in the cushions.
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to put them in the hard areas.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, and it's.
[SPEAKER_07]: They gotta go.
[SPEAKER_02]: That would make them think a lot more.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm, exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: About putting public people in the department's suggestion time.
[SPEAKER_02]: We appreciate that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we like you folks hang out on the bar with us.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, Barron should be the first.
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely, draft Baron.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got no problem with that.
[SPEAKER_02]: You would use it all of a sudden be like, oh, worse off.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's exactly how it would be.
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_02]: Donald's dumbass war.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Ron Philopaski, by the way, a five-year-old guy, he reminded us he said it's not 2001.
[SPEAKER_02]: We are not in the immediate aftermath of a major terrorist attack on US soil.
[SPEAKER_02]: The same arguments used then are being used now against Democrats.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if these representatives do not vote to fund a Middle East war, they're betraying the true, you know, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, well, then here's, here's the argument.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the argument back then was if you, you better support the troops.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you don't, so if you don't vote to fund the war, then you don't support the troops.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, that's what he's saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, you're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what that's, it's a BS.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a Garza.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was BS that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and it's BS now, it's even more BS now because, um, hello.
[SPEAKER_02]: We haven't yet been attacked on, we had to sew them is real and the United States together.
[SPEAKER_02]: Basically, because BB was like, hey, Donnie, you're worse.
[SPEAKER_02]: Donnie, Donnie, Mushroom had Donnie, but you won't do this.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, but he also probably has some comfort from it on him too.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you said that yesterday, you said the other day, I agree with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Both of I, I'm Joe Diaz, right, on the regular.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I especially agree on this, I think that he is, you know, but look, here's the big problems.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no clear objective.
[SPEAKER_02]: They've had like five or six different excuses.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's not a war.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, it's a war.
[SPEAKER_07]: And we preemptively know it's a military, but it's not a war.
[SPEAKER_02]: The difference, of course, is, you know, potato and patano.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which, of course, potatoes are good with this, but potatoes are good with that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Statis are status.
[SPEAKER_02]: Put the right emphasis on the right salabah or the right emphasis on the right emphasis on the right.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, it's all the same.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let's call the whole thing off.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's the thing for those people who are like, well, why don't we go in it?
[SPEAKER_02]: One of the reasons that the smart people did not send us and put us into war in a ran for years.
[SPEAKER_02]: have you seen the jack of you do you know the geography of a range of you know giant country with 93 million people it is three times the size of France one of the larger countries in the world I mean you create a very big two exactly Ukraine is is much bigger than it appears on the maps that we're used to but U.S. big country Canada big country Russia China big countries
[SPEAKER_02]: But Iran is also a very large country.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is extremely mountainous.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are some very big temp.
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of the biggest temperature extremes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: And cold.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: are in a ran.
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is this is not an easy place to go for any of this in the news on tap today in the first round there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, we've got some updates obviously for what we're jokingly calling Operation Epic Failure because it is an Epic Failure, but one of the things that's absolutely disgusting is the fact that still there are still hundreds of thousands
[SPEAKER_02]: We missed this yesterday.
[SPEAKER_02]: You noted it and I missed it when we were talking with Bob, but so while there are hundreds of thousands of Americans who are trying to get out and have basically been abandoned on their own, six maggots influencers that obviously I'm sure that maybe Christy
[SPEAKER_02]: They got them out.
[SPEAKER_02]: A dog walker, God bless her, but still.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't care, and you've got to help the dogs, but the fact of the matter is, there are puns of American citizens.
[SPEAKER_07]: And they're not being helped.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, and they're doing everything they can't.
[SPEAKER_02]: We put up the number last night on the blue sky.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we'll try putting it up on some of the other socials tonight as well, the State Department number.
[SPEAKER_02]: Best way to do it again, if you are here in the States, and you have somebody you know that happens to be the Middle East trying to get out and they've contacted you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Contact them and then contact the number.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do a three-way call, connect them that way.
[SPEAKER_02]: During regular business hours here, I know it's stupid because it's going to be stupid late for them there.
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's the best way to do it because apparently, you can contact, like you can get to that State Department
[SPEAKER_02]: but not in the Middle East where they actually need to contact him.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it is our embassies responsibility to take care of American citizens.
[SPEAKER_02]: our nation's responsibility.
[SPEAKER_02]: But as we know, Donald doesn't like responsibility.
[SPEAKER_02]: The cost of war, by the way, the final two U.S. soldiers in the first Iran attack, the winning quates, have been identified.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got the story.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can check that out as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: fiscal cost by the way.
[SPEAKER_02]: When I got the story late last night, early this morning, five billion in counting is up to about, it's about a billion dollars a day.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but we can't feed people and we can't have housing we can't no no no no pre-cate no medicate and medicare of issues need more social security No universal health care.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but no we can we can spend we can spend a billion dollars a day I've been saying that since the eighties
[SPEAKER_02]: You are not wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: You are absolutely not.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, by the way, this this is absolutely hilarious last night So I'm I'm sitting there and I'm going okay, you know, looking looking through some of the stuff at the bar And I was laughing about this because you'll never guess Tom Shaffer
[SPEAKER_02]: He said, look, he found that part from it's from 1993's Hot Shots Part Do.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I love that movie so much.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is Miguel Ferrar.
[SPEAKER_07]: I love my friends.
[SPEAKER_02]: War.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's fantastic.
[SPEAKER_02]: And literally, of course, he was mocking.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said he was mocking the old NBA ad, which he did.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like it's an ad from the late 80s.
[SPEAKER_02]: Bam!
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_02]: see same thing so guys knew how to write comedy and Miguel was one of the funny humans on the planet I have not heard a bad thing about him ever he was a deer yeah look and but so we're by the way thank you to Tom Shafer who actually found that from Hot Chops Park do what just fantastic which it's it is absolutely it's a hilarious little clip there johnny cryers in that with those big glasses yeah
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, back to the war.
[SPEAKER_02]: NBC News has a new poll showing the majority of voters disapprove of how Trump is handling the Iran War.
[SPEAKER_02]: You think?
[SPEAKER_07]: It's not going to get better for him.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: But obviously, this, you know, creating, treating Christy-nomes awful is sucking a lot of the oxygen out of the mainstream news today.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we talked about it too.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, it deserves to be talked about, because it shows the incompetence.
[SPEAKER_02]: It shows the fact that this whole regime is teetering and tottering.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: day they are all over the place.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've had a couple of stories that we've missed because of others things lately and I'm glad that my old friend, Audemory Cox, wrote this great piece, happens to be a new republic.
[SPEAKER_02]: We sucked that one in day under the cost of war.
[SPEAKER_02]: Talking about those prediction markets, the betting markets?
[SPEAKER_07]: That should be outlawed.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry, but I agree with you, especially at least on things like politics.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, um, look, it's, it's a great story.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's a great, it's not a happy story.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but it's a story you should read.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have it there in the news on to have for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: We also have some great commentary about the war stuff today that really talks about Jarvis DeBerry in over here off of MS now.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're a really good piece talking about Trump's BS claim that Iran was close to a nuclear weapon.
[SPEAKER_02]: he noted he had the ear I usually have a pretty good ear and he he got it and I missed it the tell one of Donnie's tells that he's lying is when he says things when he says uh two weeks
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, it's always two weeks.
[SPEAKER_07]: Everything is two weeks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: How did we know?
[SPEAKER_02]: How did to Barry know that Trump's claim that Iran was close to a nuclear weapon was a lie?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because he said, oh, well, no one about two weeks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So good catch, Jarvis, good catch.
[SPEAKER_02]: Greg Sargent also has another good piece, too, that you guys should read as does Adam Sirwer.
[SPEAKER_02]: the long and short about both of their pieces is Democrats need to stand up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Democrats need to be standing up and saying, look, we've seen this movie before.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the fact of the matter is it's a crappy movie.
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't end well with these words.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've seen it with literally every Republican
[SPEAKER_02]: We saw it with Reagan, we saw it with Bush, we saw it with the other Bush, we saw it with Trump, one, and we're seeing the Trump too.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is the same every single time.
[SPEAKER_02]: These jokers have done this.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've seen this movie and it sucks.
[SPEAKER_07]: And we are not generationally forgetting.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like World War II, they're all dying out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: different thing a minute ago democrats just need to stand up and say no yes when when they ask you for funding for the war you say no no be Nancy breaking about it
[SPEAKER_07]: Just say no.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what she said, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, at least that we know of.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to know about the other stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's, that's, that's.
[SPEAKER_07]: But she said that for the drugs and just, No, you're Reagan.
[SPEAKER_07]: Go with Nancy on this.
[SPEAKER_07]: At least.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just say no.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, you can't always agree with her publicans, but Jody is right on this.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can agree with Nancy Reagan.
[SPEAKER_07]: Just say no.
[SPEAKER_02]: To war.
[SPEAKER_02]: That, you know.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's too pity.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, War is off and dumb.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the day I'm sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I hate War.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, John Feekel saying, just to text this, he's just getting off the train here.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he will be here when you guys get back from the break.
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, you know, we say you should get the podcast, but also, you know, if you like hanging out here at the bar, do the thing to tell your friends, do the thing to tell people in your neighborhood, that you like the bar, you go to the politicsbar.com store.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then you can get yourself a shirt, a glass, a mug, Bob Setsko likes the really big mugs.
[SPEAKER_02]: We got him there in our store.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Check it out.
[SPEAKER_02]: They are all there at the politicsbar.com in the store.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just click and you know browse nothing else I've fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's something you can do where you're browsing on your phone or on your computer Don't matter.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, look, John Fuegel saying we'll be here shortly.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got to clean a couple things up and make the mic ready for him So come on back.
[SPEAKER_03]: You go say next We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar
[SPEAKER_02]: First and I here at the politics bar you guys know what that means the one they only Sharp you go say just off the train into our Little should be in here John how's your week, man?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you know, I'm happy for Christy know
[SPEAKER_01]: Now she gets to spend time trying to catch those tail nations in the private sector.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's win-win for everyone.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, honestly, we, we, we both, Jody and I agreed on this one, especially because, um, I have had, what, what happened?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you, you nailed it, Jody.
[SPEAKER_02]: What did you call it?
[SPEAKER_02]: What happened to, to, to, uh, because she got bloomed.
[SPEAKER_02]: She did.
[SPEAKER_02]: She got called, but she's at work.
[SPEAKER_02]: And literally, so somebody did the math earlier today.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I can't remember whether I saw it first on CNN or MS now.
[SPEAKER_02]: But Donnie posted his firing of Nome at 131 PM Eastern time.
[SPEAKER_02]: She went on stage in Tennessee at 129, meaning somebody who was with her.
[SPEAKER_02]: Texted back to Stephen Miller and said she's on stage hit post and he went
[SPEAKER_02]: I had a friend who I'm still friends with she's a journalist and professor now at the University of Brasco Lincoln back when we both worked at a radio cluster and as you know John they are labeled clusters so that way you can drop the other word later when they screw things up inevitably, but she was out doing a remote event like three o'clock in the afternoon some gas station or you know vitamins door or something and the person who was back at the radio station has to tell her
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, by the way, uh, the station has been blown up, uh, you will not have a job when you come back.
[SPEAKER_02]: So finish out the hour and then drive the station vehicle back and drop off your keys.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's basically what happened to Christie.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm because she took questions after it.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just want to know she got the plane home.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just because Colby didn't get the plane home, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, he did not.
[SPEAKER_02]: He did not.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's awkward for me as you guys know when I, I knew,
[SPEAKER_01]: We all knew when it happened today that you'd want me to talk about Christy Noom on the show.
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't walk into this blindly, I'm not a stupid person, and I'm not so naive that I would come on your program and think you're not going to ask me about Christy.
[SPEAKER_01]: and about our all-too-public affair all those years ago.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know when I go on a show like this that even though you know I mean I know friendship only goes so far and I'm always going to be asked about my Torrid Page Six past with Christy and all of our breakups that week we both converted to Kabbalah I mean it's there's so much it was so public and there's so much I will not talk about you know I
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, she was crazy in all the right ways gentlemen.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying for a while.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was worth it.
[SPEAKER_01]: But after a while Now when she said do you like a doggy style and I said yes, and she shot me then I knew I knew It was too hot for me and honestly You just you just can't you can be drawn to that flame like a moth but it'll burn your gentleman.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all I'm saying so.
[SPEAKER_01]: I I'm not gonna say anything more about my my relationship with Christy.
[SPEAKER_01]: We both moved on
[SPEAKER_02]: We have to applaud you for that.
[SPEAKER_02]: That well played John well played honestly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, it's not of us like her, but how she had the dime dropped on her is, I mean, that's still.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, even she dropped the dime on herself.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's be honest.
[SPEAKER_01]: This was all about the hearing at the Senate this week.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that means she fired herself on television and it was a mutable thing for children to watch.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like porn for the angels.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's be straight out.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm with you, Jodi.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like she can currently win down skiing, but they might both lose custody of the 737 luxury.
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope the jet finds a good family, but we are still on the dot on the dime for these people.
[SPEAKER_01]: They did not fire her.
[SPEAKER_01]: They transferred her to some BS position.
[SPEAKER_01]: because she's a valuable witness.
[SPEAKER_01]: They need to keep quiet and so we are still going to be on.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're still going to be paying for her.
[SPEAKER_01]: Taxpayers will still put the bill for her to be obedient to Donald Trump and they cut a deal with her.
[SPEAKER_02]: But will they be paying for Lewandowski to actually do the work for her?
[SPEAKER_01]: Listen, here's the thing, all right.
[SPEAKER_01]: People want to all.
[SPEAKER_01]: Everyone wants to say, oh, you know, you and Christie had such a hot affair.
[SPEAKER_01]: You must want to talk about her in Cory, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's more, I mean, wow, you know, that's more endless and Cory best of luck with it.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm happy for these two, which is great.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm happy for their spouses because it's less time they have to spend with Christy and Cory.
[SPEAKER_01]: So everything wins.
[SPEAKER_01]: I can be European about this, but here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Cory and Christy, this is the sex tape we don't wanna see.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all I wanna say.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's like watching that workout tape with RFK, Junior, and Kid Rock.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like gay porn, except no one wants the sex to actually begin.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, listen, you guys as long as the sex tape stays private, I don't care what you guys do.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, young people aren't having enough sex as it is.
[SPEAKER_01]: If these two had a sex tape come out, imagine how much more those numbers would drop people.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm thinking about the population levels here.
[SPEAKER_02]: John is just thinking of you.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is just thinking of you.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all I think about is you.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I call you all the time.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I'm lingering outside your door and trying your coins.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you keep writing books by the way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Congratulations, our duty as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: No more for separation of church and hate this week.
[SPEAKER_02]: from audible.
[SPEAKER_02]: Congratulations, sir.
[SPEAKER_02]: So for those of you here in the bar who I've said to us, there are a few who've been like, I love John.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have his book on audio.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's like great.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, thank you all for buying it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I really am.
[SPEAKER_01]: I knew audio books were big, but I had no idea.
[SPEAKER_01]: And to go to the audible awards,
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, I just, I was like, Ringo.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just glad to be here, you know, like, and all these great actors and artists.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I said, I walk you like I bump into Kate McKinnon as soon as I'm there and nice there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, there's current Bailey Ray and all these great artists that are nominated and actors I've admired for many years.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's it's this 30 years they've been having these awards like all the books are a resilient dollar industry Um, and I I did not expect a win one.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just an honor to be egregiously accidentally inappropriately undiservedly nominated Uh, but we deservedly not one the non-fiction the non-fiction audiobook award and and and and
[SPEAKER_01]: and beats spinal tap.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think it has no credibility because I can't respect any award that would choose me over spinal tap.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hey, my mom lost her Grammy for reading Karen me to Pete Seeger.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, give you an opportunity.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is going to say spinal tap is in okay company there.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm talking about?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I heard your mother took an axe to Pete Seeger's amp at the Newport Pope Festival.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the rumor I heard.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's actually John that's that's fake news and Joe is gonna have to report you on Facebook for that Oh, no, there is so much I have to report I've already reported on Facebook about my mom.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god You have no if you guys if you guys find fake news about Carol by the way or John or Jody or me just report the fake news
[SPEAKER_01]: Which I could find some fake news on Facebook all I see is horrible AI renditions of classic rockers doing things on stage They never actually did I mean the whole site.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like I come here to see my racist cousins Why am I looking at all this AI slap everywhere?
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to see horrible white men is Facebook old white guys Can't spell your that's what I come here for and instead what is it?
[SPEAKER_01]: Joan bias didn't do a Concert with with with with public anime this didn't happen.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not a real picture
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not a big fan of some of the stuff that AI can do, but there are things that, especially like with this war stuff, where you're just saying, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I think of what's gonna for medical diagnosis alone, my God, I mean, I don't think, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking at you except looking at you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, killer robots.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to fire anthropic because we think robots should be allowed to kill humans without us having any say it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you guys saw the video that Kegbrath's Department of War.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's fantastic that he put out they literally mixed.
[SPEAKER_02]: video game footage and live footage from stuff that at the same.
[SPEAKER_02]: So they're literally purposely trying to, again, as I'm going, that's just insane.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And at the same time, if you're looking for insane from this war, first of all, the war itself.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's insane.
[SPEAKER_02]: And second of all, you've got these, these commanders who are saying, you know what?
[SPEAKER_02]: God told Donald that he wanted
[SPEAKER_07]: that piss me off so much.
[SPEAKER_07]: When I read that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you guys not understand that God does not exactly... Well, if you believe the Bible, God's not well.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, God and the Old Testament is more of a fan of war.
[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely.
[SPEAKER_02]: Put in the New Testament.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, don't go around just killing people.
[SPEAKER_02]: For SNGs, this is not acceptable.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, John, you, I see your, no face.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I mean, no, I just, war isn't tell.
[SPEAKER_01]: War is hello, Jesus.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I learned this week.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you want to go here?
[SPEAKER_01]: You want to talk about, oh, yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is, this is, we won't.
[SPEAKER_02]: About the rapture, you want to have this because we're like, yeah, I mean, more than anything.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because there's no this.
[SPEAKER_01]: There are drugs.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then there's rapture porn.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and there is no drug that's more powerful than believing that God's coming down to kill everybody you hate.
[SPEAKER_01]: and you and a very select few get to go behind the velvet rope to god's after party because you're so much better.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is every kind of idolatry.
[SPEAKER_01]: This rapture pouring left behind late great planet earth is really fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, sorry, sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: We got it.
[SPEAKER_01]: We got it, we got it.
[SPEAKER_01]: But here's the thing, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of our atheist friends call the Bible fiction.
[SPEAKER_01]: Rapture is Bible fan fiction.
[SPEAKER_01]: Rapture was coined by John Darby, a British pastor in the 1850s.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's man-made garbage.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, you know these type of people, these end-times hobbyists.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're indicted to call them on.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I call them Apaka Hallics.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're all like the whole left behind cinematic universe fan club.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, again, this story is amazing.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the military religious freedom foundation.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is only one source is reported this.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jonathan Larson, who I know is a good guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: He, his substack, it has not been corroborated yet, but, yeah, the more than 30 installations in every branch of the military, more than 100 troops reported.
[SPEAKER_01]: Having their unit commanders telling them that the Iran war is part of God's plan, and one of them said his CO told him that Trump was anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to earth.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, the funniest thing about this is that Donald Trump himself would probably pronounce Armageddon as Armageddon.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: He got in mind.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know George W. Bush would have as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, so, so, so, he's so, he's the, the Secretary of Sloppy Drunks.
[SPEAKER_01]: What is his job?
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a couple of weeks ago, he brings Doug Wilson into Preach of the Pentagon.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: And, and as Wilson is, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,
[SPEAKER_01]: So all these complaints are coming through right more than a hundred ten complaints and here's the problem with the rapture Christians are you ready?
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not Christian.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're addicted to the rapture, which is an in the Bible.
[SPEAKER_01]: The Jesus of the Gospels has all this inconvenient woke stuff about caring for the drugs, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you, blesser to the peacemakers.
[SPEAKER_01]: Put away your sword for he who lives by the sword will die by the sword, what you do to the least of these people you do to me.
[SPEAKER_01]: They do not like this in right wing Christianity.
[SPEAKER_01]: They like dropping bombs on people and having the Secretary of Yager Bister talk about death raining from
[SPEAKER_01]: guy, and now let us pray.
[SPEAKER_01]: This does she bond villain, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: So revelation in the Bible, and that's what it's not revelation.
[SPEAKER_01]: Revelation, it's not a prophecy about future geopolitics in the 21st century.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was coded resistance literature.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a poetic take-out of metaphor of Rome's imperial violence and the Christian resistance.
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't, let's burn it all down.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was, Rome isn't God.
[SPEAKER_01]: and and somewhere along the line the empire took over the religion and said oh cool we're the dragon now okay the one thing Jesus says about this raptor is you will he says a few things but the main thing he says is you will not know the hour nor the day but there's a kind of Christianity right they don't like this okay they they they they don't like this at all these raptor guys like my cuckabee okay john haji
[SPEAKER_01]: they think that peace delays the prophecy, war accelerates it and they need rise to come back in the rapture which they believe and they say big business, guys get really rich on this, they support Israel not because they care about the Jewish people, but because when the rapture happens,
[SPEAKER_01]: and Christ comes back and all these wars and famines will bring Jesus back the more horrible things get.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then we'll have the tribulations and the Jews, two thirds of the Jews will die violently.
[SPEAKER_01]: One third of the Jews will survive because they will be forced to convert to Christianity.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then the anointed will rise in the sky and it's a party and they're behind God's velvet rope.
[SPEAKER_01]: and they're better than you, they're better than you.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the whole theme of the entire thing is that they're better than you.
[SPEAKER_01]: And peace slows that down.
[SPEAKER_01]: So here's the deal.
[SPEAKER_01]: The people most obsessed with Jesus coming back.
[SPEAKER_01]: are the ones who don't give a damn about what he said before he left.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sermon on the Mount, no way.
[SPEAKER_01]: Turn the other cheek weak.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sell what you have, give it to the poor, social, love your neighbor, stranger, bitch, please.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, love your enemy, no way, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't reject Jesus by denying him outright, they side step him.
[SPEAKER_01]: They replace him with this war mascot.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, so if you think the world's gonna end anyway, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to fix it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: If I'm at collapse, no, no, no, the renovations coming.
[SPEAKER_01]: I said, don't worry, refugees, temporary problems.
[SPEAKER_01]: Civilian casualties, they're in heaven waiting for us.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like when your whole world view hope is pinned to evacuation of this world,
[SPEAKER_01]: Instead of transformation of this world, not doing the inconvenient, drudgery stuff, Jesus said about helping the drugs and caring for each other, but let us skip all that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Me first, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Right?
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you get out of Jesus' free card.
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course he's way that he speaks English, the same language God speaks.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're auditioning for Caesar.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's blast for me and it's not believing in the second coming people have done that for 2,000 years.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's nothing wrong.
[SPEAKER_01]: The scandal is rooting for the sequel.
[SPEAKER_01]: So hard you wreck everything they came in the first act.
[SPEAKER_02]: to be in the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the end of the
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not the end of the world.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not.
[SPEAKER_02]: But this is the end of this segment.
[SPEAKER_02]: We will come back.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got John Fuckel saying for one more segment here on a Thursday night at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: Freshing up your drink and come right back.
[SPEAKER_02]: More with John.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.

[SPEAKER_02]: This one happens when you have good people and good friends and good subjects.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're hanging out, you have some good drinks.
[SPEAKER_02]: You talk with good friends.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, we know, maybe you missed it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You were in discussion over here in the Facebook corner, or over in the Blue Sky corner, or some of your friends, or it's, you know, maybe you're doing something?

[SPEAKER_02]: It's really easier, your favorite podcast player, or at the politicsbar.com, and remember, it's March Madness.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know it's a fun joke.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, normally it's the cost of the podcast and all the goodies is $6 a month, which works out two or four weeks in a month, it's like a buck 50 a week.
[SPEAKER_02]: But since they're basically five weeks in March, it's now technically less than a buck 50.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't laugh at me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't point at me.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the math.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do it yourself.
[SPEAKER_02]: Check it out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Go get the podcast.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's there at the politicsbar.com.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have John Fugo saying here on this Thursday evening.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we are talking all about the news of the day, the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're still talking about the elections this week.
[SPEAKER_02]: simply because of the fact that they were I mean we had a win in Arkansas we did the agency coming we had some good wins in North Carolina some Democrats who were losses who said well I'm just gonna do a little fascism I'm just gonna support fascism a little bit later the voted for ice yeah killed in her election yeah she's done I mean how mold
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't understand why some of these Democrats and it's not hard to be a an assertive Democrat.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, we love Tallahureka, we love Jasmine Crocket and there was a lot of BS that was online and people chirping and chipping and whatever that was online.
[SPEAKER_02]: But between the two of them, they seem to have a pretty decent communication relationship with each other.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's going to be fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: When we're at the first rally, you see, when Jasmine Crocker and James Telerico stand there together, they've just got tag team upass on the Republicans.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be one of those where you sit there on YouTube and watch it and eat popcorn over and over again.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is going to be just going to be so much fun with this race.
[SPEAKER_01]: I hate to disagree, but I do vigorously.
[SPEAKER_01]: I really care about anything you just said.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm here with the dawn of the Texas GOP Hunger Games.
[SPEAKER_01]: 77 million dollars spent by two different kinds of races have successfully purchased a runoff.
[SPEAKER_01]: not an nominee, no unity, just it's more like a civil war with a with a subscription extension for free, like somewhere in evil consultant bought his third lake house because of these racist hating each other.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Republicans have been begging Trump for like nine months to endorse John Corden.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the party could avoid a expensive and nasty and stupid runoff and man-baby went out of his way to not endorse
[SPEAKER_01]: he flew to Texas member.
[SPEAKER_01]: He brought the on air force one with him and then had packs an at the event wouldn't endorse either what right he wouldn't do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so so now this this runoff is going to be the most Texas thing imaginable on the once I do have John Coranan.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Who I mean, I mean, so this guy's so bland.
[SPEAKER_01]: He makes oatmeal.
[SPEAKER_01]: Look to two spicy, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, oh, no, oatmeal for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my stomach.
[SPEAKER_01]: No mayonnaise on your first fries.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, John, Gordon.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, oh, the beige is too hard.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, turn down the beige.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's harsh.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you got Ken Paxton, who's like, who's like the human, the human embodiment of a bottle with a skull and cross bones on it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's the best way.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if he was a bottle, you'd keep him far from your children and pets.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how it's useless versus evil, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... and and packed and says you can't name one accomplishment court in this delivered for texas but that's republican brand for the senate right what if any republicans done for the american people other than the wealthiest ones and this is right can't pack and is so dirty i mean this guy i think he's like risk these hamper their uh... this guy like security's fraught in peace by his own party
[SPEAKER_01]: accused of bribery by his own aides for peck so ten commandments isn't a list of two do's it's a list of things to go against oh oh you know sleeping with a god that one you know hate your name room you know oh yeah oh it's like a resume of felonies where they used to have you know family values i mean you know indicted i mean whistleblower's in his own office went to the FBI and his wife sued him for divorce publicly for biblical reasons
[SPEAKER_01]: So dirty and and yet there's a runoff because this party is not about character anymore.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, they're not about a family values like we we that's what we grew up with that is over They are about grievance and hate and about proving that you can do evil crap and survive the scandal because laws are for us and order is for them And that's meant
[SPEAKER_01]: morality is a prop now it's a it's not a complicity more you're indicted matter awesome you're indicted you are persecuted you're impeached oh man they're scared of you like guilty verdicts oh you're fighting the system like they're anti virtue now you only thing that could hurt you with this party is paying your taxes on time and and being faithful to your wife and wearing a black lives matter shirt those things can get you kicked out of the party
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's one of the reasons why I am absolutely going to love this, you know, James Talleriko and Jasmine Croquette, it's going to be, it's like the Avengers coming in and team up.
[SPEAKER_02]: They'll probably bring in Beto, you know, past characters.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they're going to go and absolutely go across and be like,
[SPEAKER_02]: This man actually knows you you you say you couldn't vote for somebody like Paxton will congratulations here somebody who actually knows the Bible.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: He happens to have a d-bind spinster or you might find voting terribly interesting.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know but still I'm so past the democratic civil war over these two.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love them both.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, no, it's been a civil war.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's been there's been folks and there's been folks all over the country saying things about the other one.
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't really want to say I think but the point is Trump is scared.
[SPEAKER_01]: and he's going to win dorses john cornon because he knows magas dying like an animal that was set by a car to hours ago and john cornons a rhino and canpaks and says he's going to stay in the racy but it's not does endorse court and and so they're going to kick out john cornon for this fraud artist for this for lander and then the magma meltdown when trump endorses the non-criminal instead of the criminal.
[SPEAKER_01]: at again man seventy seven million it's like a like a low budget Tom Cruise movie right seventy seven million for like a twelve weeks more of cage fighting and now John Fune has got to talk to her up into supporting court and and and like but here's the thing right they're in trouble because the run-offs are for the hardcore voters hardcore activists the you the casual Republican voter they've already voted they're right they're going again
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not gonna do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it wasn't the election 12 weeks ago.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's definitely ten Paxton's base.
[SPEAKER_01]: They will crawl through the wreckage of blown up water burger drive through Stavote for their Nazi.
[SPEAKER_01]: They will do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Dan Kerenshaw is gone.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's gone.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for more sky.
[SPEAKER_01]: Navy seal loses by double digits in Texas.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like a cowboy losing the lasso competition.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, oh, you got the
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that's not really sexy, usually, but the controller who happens to own Jeffrey Epstein's house in New Mexico, I'm like, really, really?
[SPEAKER_02]: You put that guy on the ball?
[SPEAKER_01]: Tony Gonzalez's girlfriend is married and sets herself on fire and he still gets to have a runoff election.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right now!
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes!
[SPEAKER_01]: Because only the Nazis will let all these criminals and God bless Wesley Hunt for being the spoiler, too.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Wesley Hunt for running and causing this to happen.
[SPEAKER_01]: Tyler Ricott on a no run off there be in friendly now Jasmine Crocodile Harris endorsing him Yes, it's just Republican Thunderdome for 12 weeks guys stop and smell the train wreck
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's going to be beautiful.
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, at Tiny Johnson today, it was like for Gonzalez.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, you know, you should probably step down for them, but don't step down from Congress.
[SPEAKER_07]: Not yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you were bad enough to guilt your, your, your mistress into killing yourself by setting yourself on fire, but please don't leave Congress.
[SPEAKER_02]: We need you for a few more months.
[SPEAKER_02]: I, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: And, wow.
[SPEAKER_07]: Sharpen.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the character of these people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Go ahead.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm not Al Sharpen, uh, Franken.
[SPEAKER_07]: Got Alcid for, uh, stupid picture?
[SPEAKER_02]: Joke.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pick up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: I got it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll be different for them in us.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're right, you're right.
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, what, when the Democrats made the choice to not talk about Bobby Kennedy's wife?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_01]: right no this is not new and they don't care true this guy was getting so much this guy was so hot that a woman went crazy for him and set herself on fire horrible men consider that cool
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you know who he's opponent.
[SPEAKER_02]: He who gets all his opponent is John.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is a YouTube gun nut and one of the places that they are vying for is is over you've all the you've all the you've all the your choice is a gun nut who wants more people to have guns including your kids in school.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Or guy who was so bad to his married mistress that she killed herself by setting herself on fire.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't go get him in that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going, why would you not vote for the Democrat or just not vote?
[SPEAKER_02]: Why in that area?
[SPEAKER_02]: How can, how, wow?
[SPEAKER_01]: How much time do I have to, to talk about Darwin and that's what I'm talking about.
[SPEAKER_01]: because there's like a lot of data on this already.
[SPEAKER_01]: I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I
[SPEAKER_01]: we will see some change in this country but they used races in the break up the unions man these oligarchs and figured out from the time they said hey you know what only wealthy land-owning white men will be allowed to vote in this free country where we keep slaves up through fox news it has been two hundred fifty years of feudal lords doing propagandists peasant maintenance for surfs is what they do and what they're good at and if these people ever understand congressional pensions alone I mean this is why
[SPEAKER_01]: having the bernies and the Elizabeth Warrens explained to them how badly they're getting screwed.
[SPEAKER_01]: Democrats have got to bring forth the message that the economy is rigged against non-millionaires.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, this is why we have been being the drum so hard about those two words every single Democrat.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't care whether you are, you know, to the left of Bernie or, you know, a centrist mushy, whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: the two words you need are accountability and affordability and accountability goes across the board and so does affordability.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you can't, I'm going to say, go ahead.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Thursday.
[SPEAKER_01]: We haven't even talked about the fact that we're in war in Iran yet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Has it come up once in this whole hour?
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, my God.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is how much worse it's gotten since we began the illegal war.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're too much crap to talk about the illegal operation.
[SPEAKER_01]: What, epic epic, what is it?
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a waste.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's epic epic epic.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's epic epic.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's epic.
[SPEAKER_01]: It sounds like a video game.
[SPEAKER_01]: Pete Heggs, that plays at his office in between Jello shots, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Operation, it's like the energy drink that Cash Patel is chugging in front of cool kids.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hoping they'll finally accept him, and they'll be popular at a real-life boy.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what, epic theory is?
[SPEAKER_01]: Epic theory is talking to his own blocked colon.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's epic theory every morning in the White House.
[SPEAKER_01]: Bye.
[SPEAKER_01]: Good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and just the fact that, I mean, we talked about it a little bit, especially with respect to the, you know, the fake Jesus people saying that Jesus is going to come, but just this, this too pity the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of Americans trapped, yes, I'm sorry we began talking about the rapture, but we haven't even talked about how insane it is that we're at war with the ran beyond the insane rapture people you're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I mean, the whole thing, they didn't plan for anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we had Malcolm in here earlier this week.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a military phrase.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's well known.
[SPEAKER_02]: He and I both need veterans.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, if you do not plan to fail, or what is it?
[SPEAKER_02]: If you fail the plan, you plan to fail.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
