[SPEAKER_02]: And just so lovely.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was 530 to 7.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what it was.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was 2 weeks ago.

[SPEAKER_12]: We will we will talk to her in just a bit.
[SPEAKER_12]: So some news today or not news depending on how you look at it.
[SPEAKER_12]: First of all last night, we were hearing the rumors as we were kind of winding things down.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, in fact, it is true.
[SPEAKER_12]: Trump's obviously cleaning out his cabinet a little bit.
[SPEAKER_12]: Trump, Labor Secretary, Laurie Chavez, Deremer, has resigned amid misconduct investigation of her and her husband and dad.
[SPEAKER_02]: And dad, I mean, her dad is creeping me out more.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I said it on Stephanie show.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, she married her father.
[SPEAKER_12]: Tana, yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, although, you know, that's different.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's a totally different meaning than when you're talking about down south.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, a lot of women seek out their dads.
[SPEAKER_02]: when they take the right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, and we're not often women often marry people like they're like their father men often marry people like their mother and that's not that's not gender specific you can marry somebody of a different gender who has a similar tag.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So but I mean she literally when I saw those emails or texts or whatever from her dad I'm like oh
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, it's it's kind of it's it's creepy and it's weird Laura Bassett has a good piece that we've got in the news on tap in the third round today under the administration from hell So dreamers up.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's a third woman in Trump's cabinet.
[SPEAKER_12]: Why is it only women being held to account?
[SPEAKER_12]: I think I think honestly it'll it'll be one of the guys soon.
[SPEAKER_12]: Could be cash.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's going to be cash.
[SPEAKER_12]: What do you think?
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, I'm kind of thinking.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm I'm going with drunk ass cash because he's well, I mean not the pizza not a drunk, but he's not been out of that badly walled in his current job.
[SPEAKER_12]: True, but why do you think we call him cabbara?
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean just saying so.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, um, also on hot seat today, uh, Kevin Worsh, um, in his confirmation hearing to be fed share failed the most basic test.
[SPEAKER_12]: Anita Panantoni, we've been talking about it with you.
[SPEAKER_12]: Didn't we talk about it to last, uh, last Friday.
[SPEAKER_12]: We did literally last Friday.
[SPEAKER_12]: Anita from San Antonio, a said, this is the most basic question, um, Senator Warren had this.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm just going to let this roll.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let's, let's, let's let this play.
[SPEAKER_01]: But don't forget it's made clear that he does not want an independent Fed.
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, he has said, I quote, anybody that disagrees with me will never be fed chairman.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's made clear that you are his sock puppets.
[SPEAKER_01]: Saying last week that interest rates will drop quote, when Kevin gets in, yeah, I think they do.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not when economic conditions change will get lower rates.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not with the economy needs it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope.
[SPEAKER_01]: He said when my guy Kevin Worsh is in there, we'll get the interest rates that I Donald Trump wants.
[SPEAKER_01]: So independence takes courage.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's check out your independence and your courage.
[SPEAKER_01]: Here it is.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, start easy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mr. Worsh did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election.
[SPEAKER_08]: We try to keep politics if it's not political.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just asking a factual question.
[SPEAKER_01]: I need to know.
[SPEAKER_01]: I need to measure Sure independence and your courage Senator I believe that this body certified that election many years ago That's not the question I'm asking to Donald Trump lose in 2020 and I'm suggesting you in
[SPEAKER_12]: And I love how she said that I'm suggesting you can't answer that.
[SPEAKER_12]: I just, you are wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, because she's a professor so she knows how to ask questions to students in a way that is very simple.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so it was just did Donald Trump lose the election.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a yes or no question.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's a very simple question.
[SPEAKER_12]: Anybody can answer did Donald Trump lose a hey.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hi, lady.
[SPEAKER_12]: Turn Devlin.
[SPEAKER_12]: I like how we're talking about this.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I'll go on just did you did you say you're just you're just hopping into the bar her did you see Kevin Warsh failed the test today.
[SPEAKER_12]: We were just playing that Elizabeth Warren gave him the the most basic test.
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't see it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let me ask you.
[SPEAKER_12]: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_12]: The third Evelyn is correct.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I passed.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: You passed the test.
[SPEAKER_12]: Congratulations.
[SPEAKER_12]: You could be the new venture.
[SPEAKER_03]: You'd be better off than Kevin Wars.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm not a complete moron or sickle fans.
[SPEAKER_03]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'll check out the ASCASer.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: There's a whole list of things that we could call.
[SPEAKER_12]: Here's the thing, a native from San Antonio from the True Blue Politics podcast.
[SPEAKER_12]: It was in here, we've been talking about this for a couple of weeks, we literally jokingly called this the Anita test last Friday.
[SPEAKER_12]: And we said, and anybody, and anybody who is in, and I do happen to know there's at least one person in Senator Warren's office who is in the bar and I will not out them, but I'm just saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hello, Senator Warren's people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hello, Senator Warren's.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm like, thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you book on our show?
[SPEAKER_02]: Senator Warren's P.A.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Tell her to come on.
[SPEAKER_12]: Even if I'm a little mad at her about the whole main thing, but whatever.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's fine.
[SPEAKER_12]: You know.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: I know.
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, what the hell?
[SPEAKER_12]: Who does not understand?
[SPEAKER_12]: No weapon Nazis.
[SPEAKER_12]: The rule anyway.
[SPEAKER_12]: Never mind.
[SPEAKER_03]: Keep going.
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought that was just a regular standard American.
[SPEAKER_03]: Is it Bernie for the guy, too?
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, unfortunately.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_03]: Flattener.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's pretty.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a little bit better than that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: But that's what I'm talking about.
[SPEAKER_12]: This is easy questions.
[SPEAKER_12]: And this is why Kevin Wars, this should have been the easiest question in the world.
[SPEAKER_12]: who won the 2020 was the question was did Donald Trump lose it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You did yes or no question and he did not.
[SPEAKER_02]: He he he he really mouth and then went on about the Fed and politics and it's like, yeah, really.
[SPEAKER_12]: Dude, dude, can't answer a question straight for anything.
[SPEAKER_12]: He's just, you know, and she just, she stopped his hands.
[SPEAKER_12]: She's amazing.
[SPEAKER_12]: She asked him, so she was asking about his investments as well.
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't know if you caught this or either terror.
[SPEAKER_12]: I know you were on the way here.
[SPEAKER_12]: So maybe, okay, she's like, no, no, okay.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let me, let me play this one because the dude Kevin Worsh is, I mean, he's very wealthy.
[SPEAKER_12]: He would be the wealthiest Fed share we've ever had if he gets right.
[SPEAKER_12]: So this was, this was Senator Warren asking him, get another question and him trying to dodge and well here.
[SPEAKER_01]: You have a hundred million dollars in undisclosed assets.
[SPEAKER_01]: And what I'm asking is are any of those with this outfit that invests in companies affiliated with President Trump or his family, companies that have facilitated money laundering, Chinese control companies, or financing vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you guess for no question.
[SPEAKER_08]: uh... senator i've worked tirelessly with the ethics officials at the office of government and you have not doing that agreed with the dollar and have agreed and it revealed a hundred million dollars all of my national assets
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have investments, for example, in vehicles set up to advance Jeffrey Epstein.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that what you're telling us?
[SPEAKER_01]: You just won't tell us.
[SPEAKER_08]: Senator, what I'm telling you is that those assets that you represent at just juggernaut will be sold if I'm coming for.
[SPEAKER_08]: Will be.
[SPEAKER_12]: So, so you do have assets that are tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
[SPEAKER_12]: Because you said they would be sold if you're confirmed.
[SPEAKER_12]: Good to know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thanks, Kevin.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thanks, a pantload, Jim.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we just have to take their word for it, too.
[SPEAKER_03]: Is that my Jared Kushner, remember?
[SPEAKER_03]: He said, I won't be in the government anymore.
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's $2 billion.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm going to take any more money from the Saudis.
[SPEAKER_12]: My friend, MBS, who cuts off the head of journalists that are in yes, I swear I will not take any more money.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and Donald is first administration said, oh, I'm out of the company business, but the children were still in it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, right right the whole the corruption is right out in the open that's disgusting about it too.
[SPEAKER_12]: They don't even have the decency to try to hide it right right you're like at least at least have the decency to be like everybody else And if you're gonna do it
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, to appear like you're not corrupt, like this is in a smash and crap in grab administration.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's what it is the whole thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we're insulting too.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is insulting.
[SPEAKER_12]: There's even one more center of Gaiga for Marizona.
[SPEAKER_12]: Um, so, uh, Worst was talking, he told Senator Foghorn Leghorn Kennedy that, Oh, no, Trump never demanded, never demanded of Worst that he cut interest rates.
[SPEAKER_12]: And Gallagher nailed him here.
[SPEAKER_06]: Earlier today, you said to Senator Kenny that President Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates in your job interview.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is that your sworn testimony that is other?
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, someone here is lying then because, and to either you with President Trump, because the interview with the Wall Street Journal of September 12,
[SPEAKER_06]: President Trump confirmed that he pressed you on your commitment to support interest rates cuts.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I quote during a 45 minute meeting with wash on Wednesday at the White House, the President pressed wash and whether he could trust him to support interest rate cuts, if he were chosen to lead the central bank.
[SPEAKER_06]: According to a paper from another meeting, Trump in the general interview confirmed that repeating.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and that's that's pretty good.
[SPEAKER_03]: He has a nail.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I guess he didn't get the memo that he was supposed to lie about that or tell the truth about that one who knows a lot of There's a lot of memos going around that people are missing
[SPEAKER_12]: So J.D.
[SPEAKER_12]: Vance was supposed to be going to Islamabad Pakistan and Iran was supposed to be dealing with, okay, so at last check, just before we came to the bar earlier today, Iran was supposed to send Donnie a reply note.
[SPEAKER_12]: Don't said, do you love me?
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes or no, like, you know, I'm not going to die here.
[SPEAKER_12]: right right in a random send him back the note so because he didn't send him back the note then Donald didn't send JD Vance on the plane and now Iran is a little pissed off and going dude can be a break this is not a elementary school anyway so what we can talk about that to yeah I know it's rolling your eyes so well it's just it's never ceases to amaze me
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm gonna have a whole year.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's here from Teribuster and we're gonna have her here for at least a couple more rounds here on this Tuesday night.
[SPEAKER_12]: Obviously pulling from the news on tap and of course we have a great drink of the day later.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's a really good drink.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'll leave it there.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'll leave it to that.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's someone's hundredth birthday.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's no longer with us, but it is her birthday today.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: We'll celebrate that later.
[SPEAKER_12]: Fresh enough your drink right now.
[SPEAKER_10]: We're back with Tara Devlin just a minute here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is Tuesday and I hear the politics bar and we have somebody new that you guys may not have matching needs to be formally welcome.
[SPEAKER_12]: So give a big round of applause.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's Tara Devlin.
[SPEAKER_12]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.

[SPEAKER_12]: Awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's great to be here, I'm so It was so cute when Bella's like, can you be on the show of like not Tuesdays and Thursdays because of work, but I can do a Friday if I take a nap

[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right, no, two fries you go so well with that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, it's just the bar she wanted to use.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hang out late, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: I know I was up very late for me.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's Friday night.
[SPEAKER_11]: Anybody you can be as Friday, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's so fun being on your show.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love being on your show.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's great.
[SPEAKER_02]: Only on a Friday, but I will be on it again.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, that's a promise.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's a promise, I swear.
[SPEAKER_12]: Look, it's not like you guys had to, you know, get on a plane and go 14 hours, too.
[SPEAKER_12]: There's a lot of Pakistan.
[SPEAKER_12]: Or not.
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought I would if my country needed me, I mean.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, right.
[SPEAKER_12]: But, you know, as everybody can see in the graphics at the top of the news on tap today, it's the lecture in there with the Vice Presidential seal and no JD events, because
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, apparently Vance was supposed to be leaving yesterday, and then last night, and then this morning, and then Donald called him for a policy meeting, God, right, exactly, right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: And apparently, so the whole deal was, we joked, you guys think it's a joke, but it's not a joke.
[SPEAKER_12]: So literally, Donald was waiting for a note, a reply note from Iran, and since he didn't get it, then he's like, well, I'm not going to send Vance until I get it.
[SPEAKER_12]: at the same time, we didn't put any today's news on tap because they're trying to start negotiating this, you better do what I want or we're going to go to war with Cuba thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wait, so they're just way, how is that even a threat?
[SPEAKER_03]: Why would Iran care about going to war with Cuba?
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, I don't know, this is at the same time.
[SPEAKER_12]: So you got the Iran thing here, where Vance is supposed to go over there and do a peace deal.
[SPEAKER_12]: And at the same time, they're sending Rubio to Cuba to go, unless you do what we want.
[SPEAKER_12]: We're going to go to war with you too.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, OK, they do remember that Russia supports Cuba still, right?
[SPEAKER_12]: Also, by the way, keep us like, dude, we're fine with the deal.
[SPEAKER_12]: We'll do a deal.
[SPEAKER_12]: What?
[SPEAKER_12]: Keep us basically said, fine, deal.
[SPEAKER_12]: Whatever.
[SPEAKER_12]: What are the terms?
[SPEAKER_12]: But we'll do a deal.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let me go.
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_12]: What are the terms?
[SPEAKER_12]: And they go, then I don't know.
[SPEAKER_12]: We'll do a deal.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_12]: What are the terms?
[SPEAKER_12]: I want an actual answer here.
[SPEAKER_12]: This is, this is the issue today.
[SPEAKER_12]: Is there are lots and lots of questions?
[SPEAKER_12]: But you get answers like the ones from Kevin Worsh, who, you know, that's not an acceptable answer.
[SPEAKER_12]: Or Cuba saying, okay, fine, you want to deal, what are the terms?
[SPEAKER_12]: Or Iran saying, okay, fine, you want to deal, what are the terms?
[SPEAKER_12]: And the Trump administration going, no, I just want to deal.
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay, but what are the terms?
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: He sucks at business.
[SPEAKER_03]: He sucks at making deals.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's not a deal maker.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's never been one.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all been a performance like every single one of them in all their positions.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're unfit.
[SPEAKER_03]: The whole thing is just to make it easy to steal and and be corrupt.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right, that's speaking of Randy as I mentioned her earlier looks she always used to say in chaos they can steal and that is that is a hundred percent of the case obviously we know we know they're stealing people blind But the biggest selling from us Yeah, yes, all right
[SPEAKER_03]: and by the way Donald was not a billionaire the first term he is now I know many times over many times and the first year he it's been three billion dollars right so far three billion three point one two something like that yeah
[SPEAKER_12]: And yeah, he's he's what they used to call a hobson and well at least where I grew up.
[SPEAKER_12]: We used to joking we call it a hobson and Hobbson style rich person.
[SPEAKER_12]: So I mean, you know, it's like there used to be this mock ad back in the day.
[SPEAKER_12]: This law firm is Midwestern.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hobbson and Hobbson we make money.
[SPEAKER_12]: The old fashion way.
[SPEAKER_12]: We are nest of steel it.
[SPEAKER_12]: All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all
[SPEAKER_12]: Obama signature or the home.
[SPEAKER_02]: God forbid that somebody did better than he did.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's a black man did better.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: When the black man did it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I always hear that that's all.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, but that's what he read.
[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't he write on on his
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, actually, actually, who was it?
[SPEAKER_12]: It was, I believe Caitlyn Collins producers.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, yes, they asked me, anyway, I'm not going to go into that whole thing again.
[SPEAKER_12]: But they did a nice montage that we did.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let me play this off the DVR.
[SPEAKER_07]: We are going to finish the job, and we're going to finish it very fast.
[SPEAKER_07]: We're getting very close.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think it's close to over here.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, I view it as very close to over.
[SPEAKER_07]: I will say the Warren Iran is going along swimmingly.
[SPEAKER_07]: We can do whatever we want.
[SPEAKER_12]: You cannot do whatever you want, Jack.
[SPEAKER_02]: And by the way, if you listen to his voice, he sounds weak.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's he's over it.
[SPEAKER_03]: He'd rather go to Cuba.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's he needs another distraction.
[SPEAKER_02]: He gets ready for the boom bombs in Iran.
[SPEAKER_02]: He wants the boom booms in.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, he said he said this thing was going to be over in like a couple weeks before weeks.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, and he's now been eight weeks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like a still not over medical stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we're going to have a better ACA in two weeks, coming in for four years.
[SPEAKER_12]: And that was 10 years ago, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's what drives me crazy about the mainstream media, too.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_03]: And they'll start reporting it like it's, oh, he's like, it's some serious policy proposal.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, he says it's coming in two weeks.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, we should all, can we all like slap each other in the face already and just get real with this, you know?
[SPEAKER_12]: Like, no, not any time anybody in the media, in the mainstream media says,
[SPEAKER_12]: Donald Trump said, right, I immediately, if it is a source that you can't trust, it says means nothing.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, but the source that you can trust, like, you know, whatever source you be with, scientific source, whatever.
[SPEAKER_12]: And they say it, what they're doing is confirming it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: So when when when we put out headlines in the news on tap, which you can get for free at the politics bar.com, when we put out headlines, if it's from a trusted source, I will change the headlines.
[SPEAKER_12]: So it says, you know, the union of concerned scientists confirms even though the headlines says because it's like, but a Donald Trump says,
[SPEAKER_12]: The amount of crap that he said, I don't care what he's such like, I wonder what he does and that's it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a liar.
[SPEAKER_03]: He just likes.
[SPEAKER_03]: So why are we even unpacking it as if it has a breath of truth in it?
[SPEAKER_03]: it should be presented as this guy is unhinged.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's a liar.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Bragg does into this needless and unnecessary war of choice and distraction from the fact that he's all over the Epstein files.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we know this.
[SPEAKER_03]: He had no plan to get in.
[SPEAKER_03]: He has no plan to get out except screaming on type social.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're open the straight.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're crazy.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know,
[SPEAKER_03]: What's open before he did this?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it was open and then he's like the JCPOA was the worst.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's on track.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, but then, you know, the people that do somewhat that are round him and they they say well he'd like this and he'd like this and he'd like this and you go wait wait wait wait these are all the things that you're saying that he'd like.
[SPEAKER_12]: He would.
[SPEAKER_12]: You go over here to the JCPOA and oh check check check check.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, what you're saying is he wants the same thing.
[SPEAKER_12]: He just doesn't want it with that Iki Obama name on it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, who was so cute with the children?
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, wasn't that what?
[SPEAKER_03]: There was just so heartening to see it.
[SPEAKER_03]: It made me want to weep, really.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, it was just so adorable.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just like, what's this guy's name?
[SPEAKER_02]: Mom Donnie.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's his first name?
[SPEAKER_02]: Mayor.
[SPEAKER_13]: I mean, it seemed like a funny, I'm so cute.
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's people being as we can say.
[SPEAKER_12]: But it's also, I too long for the days when we had leadership.
[SPEAKER_03]: President that did that I mean as bad as George B. Bush was when he was reading my pet goat at least he was a children right and he and you can trust him not to go did you hear sleepy Joe Biden yeah I don't pen you wouldn't do that right you you would sign with your own pen right he had a big machine behind him and it was the most ridiculous thing
[SPEAKER_12]: right so he's sitting at a kids table with kids which first of all anytime any adult does that it just looks funny but he's sitting there and these kids and he's he's turning to them as though they were an adult and like and and and not just any adult and adults that's bought into the fox conspiracy right fox propaganda network and the kids are like I got no idea the looks on their faces are like dude I got no idea it's because it's a child with more information
[SPEAKER_03]: Right we saw them that then Joe Biden was following around by a big machine that was a pen and it would sign And he would pass the folders back and the machine would sign and he's just like and the kids were like And now the kids were like okay, so he's got a terminator with a pen
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like check in my future awesome.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's just maniacal though.
[SPEAKER_03]: This was, can you shut up?
[SPEAKER_03]: And then even everywhere, every press conference is like, oh, Joe Biden could never do that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Joe Biden.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, you know, just because you say it, it doesn't mean it's true, but you're overcompensating clearly because Joe Biden is a human, a better president, a better man, a better Joe, he's holding up
[SPEAKER_03]: It's my pinkie's lower than his, exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's about the same width, but it's longer.
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know, I'm poor.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's never, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he has no, I mean, he just, it's just, it's like, just putting things in that giant pit.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: That greed centered pit that will never be.
[SPEAKER_12]: Where it should have a soul.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's where people have their personalities, their souls.
[SPEAKER_03]: He just pours things into it, money, and women.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's put it in the big nice to be nice.
[SPEAKER_03]: whatever else Jeffrey Epstein puts in front of him and just things it will never be enough.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's he's just sick.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's a suit.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, he can.
[SPEAKER_12]: The party is very much the Republican party very much reflects Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_12]: And you could see this with the redistricting wars that they say.
[SPEAKER_12]: So by the way, if you are Virginia, stay in line.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, it's a pulse close at seven.
[SPEAKER_12]: So stay alive listening later.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm sorry, but whatever, but if it's before seven in your room Virginia, and you're going to vote.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, and if you're going to vote.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, I'm heading another bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's over.
[SPEAKER_02]: The election's over.
[SPEAKER_02]: No people.
[SPEAKER_12]: I am heartened.
[SPEAKER_12]: The early voting was huge.
[SPEAKER_12]: Nearly as many voters in Virginia cast early in person and male in ballots.
[SPEAKER_12]: As in the 2025 governor's race last year, we're out of this band burger one by 15 points.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, that was the highest presidential voter turnout in Virginia history.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a big.
[SPEAKER_12]: The commonwealth comes out with tonight.
[SPEAKER_12]: Obviously they'll do the counting and we'll talk more about that tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_12]: By the way, if yes wins.
[SPEAKER_12]: uh... the current break down in house well we'll have to talk about that too but i also think that everybody's going through three seats in a nana taxes screwed it up it's going to be more than two to three seats we can we can talk about all of that here we'll leave the the other stuff by itself there and uh... on that thing but here's okay so to to the polls and the politics about all of this um...
[SPEAKER_12]: If yes wins in Virginia tonight, currently the breakdown of Virginia house delegation is six Democrats and five Republicans live in seats.
[SPEAKER_12]: That'll become ten Democrats and one Republican, if the next step passes in the ballot is false.
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, yeah, congratulations there.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: If it ends up that way, but here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_12]: Um, the key to remember all of this is that Trump and the maggot Republicans started this fight.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they did.
[SPEAKER_12]: They started this with Texas.
[SPEAKER_12]: Their goal was to get at least five if not nine seats.
[SPEAKER_12]: They wanted if they had all the states that they wanted to get a nine seat of them if Democrats had sat on our hands and done nothing.
[SPEAKER_12]: The Republicans would have gained a nine seed advantage.
[SPEAKER_12]: Here's the key that a lot of people forget.
[SPEAKER_12]: This is not the first time that Republicans have done this.
[SPEAKER_12]: This fight actually goes back to 2010.
[SPEAKER_12]: Y'all, do you guys remember Red Map?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I do.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, uh, Tara, you remember what I was like, no, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, right?
[SPEAKER_12]: No, let me refer, first of all, for you and for anybody else in the bar here doesn't know.
[SPEAKER_12]: So Redmap was this plan that they came up with, kind of like Project 2025, and their plan was to push slash rig slash cheat slash do whatever they could that Republicans were going to do that in 2010, knowing that after the 2010 elections, 2010 congressional elections,
[SPEAKER_12]: The census was going to be, and then it would be re-apportioned, and then they could shift the maps for a decade in their favor, and they did it and they did.
[SPEAKER_12]: And they did.
[SPEAKER_12]: They ended up picking up 22 seats because of that chicaneary.
[SPEAKER_12]: They're depending on who you ask now.
[SPEAKER_12]: They're still 10 to 14 seats in the house.
[SPEAKER_12]: The probably should be up for grabs that actually are our jerrymandered in Republicans.
[SPEAKER_12]: So Republicans were going to try to get another nine to push this back up.
[SPEAKER_12]: Democrats have fought this back Democrats, California, might end up.
[SPEAKER_12]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: End up getting three more seats.
[SPEAKER_12]: Maybe.
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, when all the, they're the redistricting is done.
[SPEAKER_12]: Now, the election, you're right, Jordi, we'll get more than that.
[SPEAKER_12]: But just starting from the baseline of which ones that will think.
[SPEAKER_12]: double cuts may end up winning three when we started down basically nine so I'm okay with that.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's fighting.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am too.
[SPEAKER_02]: I hate sharing mentoring.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like it in my state, but it's only until 2030.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we're good.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hey, if they throw fire.
[SPEAKER_12]: We got to throw fire back.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: We can't get around for another round of time.

[SPEAKER_12]: It was where Terry Devlin is.
[SPEAKER_12]: here at politics bar on this Tuesday night.
[SPEAKER_12]: Thank you very much for coming out and hanging out with us.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, by the way, Jody, Scano and Darrell thrown peanuts at each other over here.
[SPEAKER_12]: Scano says, Look, Jody, Jody, you use the word allegedly yesterday.
[SPEAKER_12]: I did stating stating, stating whether Donald Trump is on drugs because we don't want to be sued.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, I didn't, but Scano says, look, the proper time to use the word allegedly would be when describing Donald Trump as being a T. Tyler does not lie all the time.
[SPEAKER_12]: And when he says he doesn't drink,
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... scannis says i i also i know he doesn't because maria said so he does not drink alcohol well yeah cuz his brother died from being alcoholic so there's no one that he didn't like that much in order to his father and so that's marries dad and right no he does not drink alcohol right but the uh... the t-toller when it comes to alcohol
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, but doesn't know Kester worked on the apprentice.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no, Kester knows that he has said that the man does some admiral, right, and that's he's a lot of people of of that age.
[SPEAKER_12]: Don't necessarily think that alcohol is a drug.
[SPEAKER_12]: They're like, marijuana is bad.
[SPEAKER_12]: Drugs are bad, but alcohol is okay.
[SPEAKER_12]: You're like, well, actually, um, it's a drug.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's it's it's a different kind of drug.
[SPEAKER_02]: Still the drugs, still counts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's true.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's true.
[SPEAKER_12]: Go counts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: Positive.
[SPEAKER_12]: So by the way, Darrell had a comment, too.
[SPEAKER_12]: He said he's responding to the piece we had yesterday in the news on tap about the insider trading suspicions, loom over Trump's presidency.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, BBC has a whole thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_12]: Darrell's pointing that out to you and he says, yeah, in other news, a Captain Rano is shocked.
[SPEAKER_12]: Shocked to find gambling at Rick's.
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, that whole poly market.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's no doubt I work out about it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, on the political voices network, but they, you know, Donald Trump Jr. is on the board.
[SPEAKER_03]: He has he's invested in that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And there's no doubt that someone Donald Trump is slipping information to these people because for somebody in the city in their regime is not just the betting market.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the actual stock
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's all of all of it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Any any of that inside this information that they're all doing it.
[SPEAKER_12]: So this I would like a word.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_12]: The idea that that for any of these people at this.
[SPEAKER_12]: So Labor Secretary Lori Chavez de Rimmer.
[SPEAKER_12]: She quit yesterday evening confirmed after we got off the air here and that's fine.
[SPEAKER_12]: her relative to the other crimes that some of these people in the Trump Kabul have committed.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's, yeah, great, but I'm like whatever.
[SPEAKER_12]: I, at this point, some of the minor stuff, you almost have to just let it blow past.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but her husband and she and her dad creepy.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, look, and I think I think we absolutely need to hold everybody accountable that we can hold accountable.
[SPEAKER_12]: But I also think that we need to moderate our rage.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, I'm happy that she's gone.
[SPEAKER_02]: And she shouldn't have taken people to a strip club.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's fun, though.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you're funny.
[SPEAKER_12]: In theory, you can go to a strip club with your friends and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: But not with my staff.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, not probably not taking your boss, or having your boss take you to a strip club.
[SPEAKER_02]: And also her saying, get me some wine.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's one thing about everyone in this maladministration, they're all drinking on the job, they're all being cute, right?
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, that's perfect work for you, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, it's not an administration.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just like, you know, it's just a smashing grab maladministration, they're in there performing or, or,
[SPEAKER_03]: the duties of their positions, but they're in there to to crime and grip.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're making it easy for everybody else to do the same.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so that's why they have no decency.
[SPEAKER_03]: They have no integrity, like cash retail.
[SPEAKER_03]: They have to wear the FBI jacket because nobody will know.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't want to like let it fit me.
[SPEAKER_03]: A lady's one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, but
[SPEAKER_03]: But he has no, he doesn't have the security of knowing that he knows what to do.
[SPEAKER_03]: He knows his job.
[SPEAKER_03]: So he needs all the trappings of the job around him.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I think that's part of the reason why I am not that big of, I'm not that surprised as far as that goes.
[SPEAKER_12]: with uh... democratic representative shella shortlist McCormick so she's gone if if you missed it she resigned uh... this afternoon uh... she was a thief so i'm glad she's gone about five million dollars a little like hope in my name funds well and she's still that she's got criminal uh... charges against her uh... for stealing that kind of stuff she should be on
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, I'm going to have to be gone because the committee was about to to rule on 25 violations of the house rules and probably expelling her.
[SPEAKER_12]: Here's the thing that was that tiny Johnson was they were going to do a double expulsion vote.
[SPEAKER_12]: Um, Corey Mills, right with Corey Mills, Corey Mills is the guy who, uh, Republican, uh, representative from Florida, who has multiple, it looks like now potential, uh, accusations of, uh, violence against women.
[SPEAKER_12]: He beats.
[SPEAKER_12]: He was supposedly dating.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even Nancy may said Eric's role was bad, but this guy's worse.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, boy.
[SPEAKER_12]: right and so so you're like okay and it throws into the question here here's the numbers for those of you who don't know by the way since democratic rep uh uh uh uh uh may have was sworn in uh took over uh the seat for a micacharel in New Jersey uh tiny Johnson swore in last night uh yeah Johnson's got issues though which we already know i mean that's why we call him tiny Johnson
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, look, I'm sorry, you made out of her to say that before Tara, but when Republicans stand there, waving their tiny Johnson and us, and we just point in laugh, I'm just saying it's just saying that they do, anyway, so Johnson's got a numbers issue right now.
[SPEAKER_12]: The U.S. is now 217 to 213 with Shirley's McCormick's resignation today, if they get rid of Corey Mills, it'll be 216 to 213.
[SPEAKER_12]: They have no vote in the Senate.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, it means that it means that Johnson needs every single Republican to vote with him every single time he has zero, which means effectively that there is a filibuster in the house.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that's weird, right?
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, yeah, it's one of the things that the founding fathers, when they were discussing the efforts between the house and the Senate, they specifically did not want to fill a buster in the house because they said that will f everything up because every single person will have the ability to fill a buster and the house is supposed to be kind of the rough and tumble and they're like, you know, that's that's like giving a veto to a classroom full of rowdy seventh graders.
[SPEAKER_02]: you know who's happy he's not to speak or any more McCarthy oh him yeah yeah more so than yeah yeah yeah no you could whip everybody
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, Nancy Pelosi could whip everybody and she could whip the votes, too.
[SPEAKER_12]: Just say.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, I mean whipping the votes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, she really, really good at that.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm better, she's lovely.
[SPEAKER_12]: But Johnson Johnson just has Anne and because of what you were saying, Jody, with the fact of like, Nancy Mason, Warren Bulber, and that whole group of people who also want Corey Mills out.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's got Republicans, he's got Republican on Republican violence, relative speaking, not actual, but even Jeffries is saying, look, Corey Mills has not gone through what the lady from Florida went through.
[SPEAKER_12]: But he's still in the process thereof, they've been holding on to that ruling, the House FX community has been holding on to the ruling.
[SPEAKER_12]: They say that they have their final ruling for Mills and they've had it for months.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Jeffries is like, well, until you release it,
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Once it's released, and that's basically why shirtless McCormick, the Democrat resigned today because they were about to release it and vote.
[SPEAKER_12]: And then he would have voted to expel her and there were enough Democrats.
[SPEAKER_12]: They would have been like, yeah, we don't, we don't want that kind of corruption here.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's gone now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, we're good about expoling expoling expoling people.
[SPEAKER_12]: If Mills forces, if Mills forces is forced to do the same thing, he'll be gone too.
[SPEAKER_12]: So.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but they, I mean, I'm surprised, really, I think that at this point, they will hold on to any of anyone, like they did with George Santos.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was, and he completely resigned with Eric Swallwell, that guy, too.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: The, um, the guy from Texas, God, it comes out.
[SPEAKER_12]: I think you're right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, but that's it.
[SPEAKER_12]: It was a wash. That's the guy who, yeah, who's, who's girlfriend, who's Mary girlfriend, and he's married to that he, he screwed her up so bad that she sent herself a fire to kill herself.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and then he was also diddling others.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, at the same time that, yeah, that's.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not a good man and it's air swallow by the way, also not a good man exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so that's what really is upsetting too.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, saying, but sure that if everything is true about Eric Swallow, drugging people,
[SPEAKER_03]: And cost being people.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_12]: Here's the thing about some of this type of stuff, too.
[SPEAKER_12]: And this is one of the reasons why, at least in general, I prefer once somebody is stepped off.
[SPEAKER_12]: Like, we don't talk much about margin around here anymore.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, we don't talk about match three toes at all.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, because she's not in there anymore.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's one of the reasons we're swallowing.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm like, look, there are there are legal things that are charging him.
[SPEAKER_12]: And we've talked about it here quite a bit, Tara, about the fact of there is accountability.
[SPEAKER_12]: In fact, the two words that Democrats need to say, we've been saying this for more than a year now, even outside the bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: uh... the two words are affordability and accountability yeah those the word that we democrat needs to know and when it comes to accountability there's more kinds of accountability then just uh... you have an out handcuffs and being forced to fraud march somewhere well i mean and do remember anti-mea winner right yeah he did nothing like airx wallwell is accused of doing right like not he was bad right by the way it's a
[SPEAKER_13]: It's bigger than Donald's but I mean we've all seen it it's that big it is this big I You've caught in penis this big almost I think it's that that that protester down in Alabama Did you see that I love them?
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: She got, um, uh, so there was a woman at the No Kings protest, um, and they tried to, to arrest her for wearing a giant penis costume, and then they, they had to throw away that exercise.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's good.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the thing is the difference between, representative Weener, and which is, he's aptly named.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, and representative
[SPEAKER_02]: drug, allegedly drug people, they, he didn't cause B people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: And they're, there are, there are now officials, multiple people that, yes, yes, that are looking at prosecutors, that are looking at him in cases.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I think New York and San Francisco here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're looking.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know what, he did that.
[SPEAKER_02]: from to the wolves.
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't know if he did that right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let him go through the process.
[SPEAKER_12]: Uh, then if he's.
[SPEAKER_02]: And both are great legislators.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're great legislators, but horrible humans.
[SPEAKER_02]: So.
[SPEAKER_12]: We knew that charged.
[SPEAKER_12]: We knew that convicted.
[SPEAKER_12]: We know did his time.
[SPEAKER_12]: So I don't know what he's doing.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, but that's why well stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's so disturbing.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's really Ted Bundy stuff.

[SPEAKER_12]: Queen Elizabeth had dairy farm.
[SPEAKER_12]: She always did.
[SPEAKER_12]: She had horse farms.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, she had a lot of fun.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, me, she had a lot of this stuff.
[SPEAKER_12]: But today is her birthday of Queen Elizabeth, and we happen to have in the news on tap in the section around Charles.

[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: Julie, by the way, over here in the sub-stack corner of the bar, Jody, she said she really liked the history today in the drink of the day, but she's just not sure monarchy belongs in the modern world anymore.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree with this person.
[SPEAKER_02]: Monarchy in England is really not in control.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, right.
[SPEAKER_12]: But I also don't think Elizabeth should be the last queen.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, you've got Madonna.
[SPEAKER_12]: You've got Latifa.
[SPEAKER_03]: share in here right right you got one of the queens out there so just ready rainbow There you go, exactly the one who's the one the on the Stephanie Miller show the Home of hope oh Sash drove me home when I was not having a good day and he was so lovely

[SPEAKER_02]: I saw that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I should have put my mom doing the hollow hero.
[SPEAKER_02]: So get it up there.
[SPEAKER_12]: We put it around on social media.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the cream did like her sketches about her.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's, that is freaking cool.
[SPEAKER_12]: That quaint, like Carol's sketches.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just something to do with it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: We both got to meet Prince Philip.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was going to ask, did you, did your mom or you ever meet the Queen?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we never met the Queen, but when my mom, the premier of Annie in 1982, I went, my mom was lowered because I was way up here.
[SPEAKER_02]: My mom was with the people with Tim Curry and everybody in Bernadette and everybody in Alien and everybody and but Prince Philip was there and we had to wear gloves Really?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, why because you couldn't touch you can't touch royalty oh
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's where I drew the law.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, but that was the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: You had to wear gloves.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did not meet my saw him.
[SPEAKER_02]: My mom actually got to shake his hand and curtsy.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a whole like put a call thing because it's royalty.
[SPEAKER_02]: The queen was not there, but mom was told that she loved her sketches.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: How could you not?
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I mean, I read them right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the queen did have a sense of humor and drank her duvenet and her vodka.
[SPEAKER_02]: And she loved it.
[SPEAKER_12]: She loved it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Who told me that her people would use it in her 90s.
[SPEAKER_12]: They were like, you shouldn't have that.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, I'm the freaking queen.
[SPEAKER_02]: But once you're in your 90s, I don't care if you've been sober for 45 years, if you want to drink some vodka, go, go do, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: She can just go seize them and then.
[SPEAKER_12]: So we got the Queen Elizabeth cocktail.
[SPEAKER_12]: What is in the Queen Elizabeth cocktail?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, what you're going to need first is a shaker, some ice, as we all know, a pre-chilled glass.
[SPEAKER_12]: This should be pre-chilled, just saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just in the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like in general, yes, just always.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nick and Nora, or Coup class, I like the Nick and Nora because they're cute.
[SPEAKER_02]: One and a half ounces of driver mooth, a three quarters of an ounce of Benedictine.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Three colors of analysis.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fresh lime juice.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you add all of that to your shaker.
[SPEAKER_02]: Shaken till it's cold with the ice obviously and strain it to your cocktail glass in.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's a nice little drink, it's a simple drink.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's easy to make.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: And look, if you guys missed it and you're like, how do I make it again?
[SPEAKER_12]: It's why you subscribe the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly, Monday.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: By the way, entertainment section today in the fifth round.

[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, I got him so much.
[SPEAKER_12]: I am gently appointing with Ben.
[SPEAKER_12]: And obviously, you guys know that Cat obviously didn't better think anyway.
[SPEAKER_12]: But Ben, who is the CEO of the onion, they, they're taking over Info Wars.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's wonderful.
[SPEAKER_12]: So kick out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you see Alex Jones half naked?
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't know I would not want everybody go to media.
[SPEAKER_12]: I it because there's a video him on Twitter or if you don't want to be blinded, I mean he took a shirt off going as bad as a bad.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's really bad.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_03]: I heard that he had a meltdown but he did.
[SPEAKER_03]: He took a shirt off.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, geez.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow, it's not a good shirt to take off.
[SPEAKER_12]: For instance, if a war is in for wars, under the previous management, not under the new onion management, but he was a hate-filled propaganda.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, the kind of place that FCC chair Brandon Carr, Brendan Carr.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, I know.
[SPEAKER_12]: I keep calling him Brandon.
[SPEAKER_12]: Once of all the mainstream media, Carr, by the way, going to attend the White House correspondent,

[SPEAKER_12]: By the way, Donald is supposed to speak at the correspondence here.
[SPEAKER_12]: Here he's he's he's this is this is what he thinks he's going to do here.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I expect to be bombing because I think that's a better attitude to go in with.
[SPEAKER_07]: But
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, congratulations for watching something right you should be bombing there.
[SPEAKER_12]: That is the only place for you to back.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, I know I took that out of context from the CNBC interview this morning, but you know what I had to do that.
[SPEAKER_12]: It was just sitting right there.
[SPEAKER_12]: It was silly.
[SPEAKER_12]: I personally think they should cancel the White House version.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, Bill share has a great piece from the American prospect.
[SPEAKER_12]: We've got that in a news on tap.
[SPEAKER_12]: Other entertainment 10 years since Prince passed away, WCCO, Minnesota has a great piece.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Lonnie, I went to Minneapolis for we landed in Minneapolis and we were going to just
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think we've done that.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry to lose people, but seriously, I had no cell phone.
[SPEAKER_02]: She said it ever.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was on me.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's on me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Deluth people just send me the e-mail.
[SPEAKER_11]: They have some great theaters and great-a-many.
[SPEAKER_02]: They do.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it was just like, you know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, but we did when we were in Minneapolis the night before we had a drive, uh, we went to the, uh, memorial.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I mean, Lonnie is a huge prince.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow.

[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, my friend Les goes, he's the white prince.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, yeah, a little bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was just, it was heartbreaking because he was only 51, like Michael.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: It got a good review.
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was supposed to be No, I think it's going to be okay.
[SPEAKER_12]: I think it's probably well done and it's some of it eliminates some of the edges, but by the way.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, playoff's last night.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hawks and timber wolves.
[SPEAKER_12]: They came back from dramatic being down and then the Raptors went up to, oh, obviously, we'll have more of that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Also, by the way, Major League Baseball News, the National Accenture is on pace to make history every team in the division, maybe over 500 as they get to May, which is insane.
[SPEAKER_12]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, you people in the center part of the country there, your WCPT land, your AM-950 land.
[SPEAKER_12]: You're Nebraska people.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly, you've got some good baseball coming your way, just saying.
[SPEAKER_12]: Look, we've got another round here to help us hang it out with us.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you want to continue?
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, we've got money.
[SPEAKER_12]: There's plenty to do it.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's a lot of money.
[SPEAKER_12]: Lottie's good man, Lottie's good.
[SPEAKER_12]: More with Terry Devlin, Jodie Hamilton, Mishon Smith Pierce, and of course here on this Tuesday night, here at the Paltach Bar.
[SPEAKER_10]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: Tuesday night here at the politics bar and terror devil and it's still hanging with us which is a year still here.
[SPEAKER_12]: By the way, by the way, we're sorry if we are keeping you from your show.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is on Tuesday night.
[SPEAKER_12]: Friday nights.
[SPEAKER_12]: I've already reported.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_12]: I haven't seen anything.
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, it's great.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's Tuesday.
[SPEAKER_02]: She does Friday nights.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're okay tonight.
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay, okay, this is good.
[SPEAKER_12]: This is good.
[SPEAKER_12]: So, but you guys can't check if you're not sure where her links are, we've got them there in the next section of the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_12]: Obviously, no, we're talking about the media here in the break, because we were just talking about some of the entertainment stuff.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I mean, look, it's the weirdest thing, but it was the right place to put it today.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's in the media matter section of the fifth round of the news on tap
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're bringing in the hardware guy John Ternis who he's another apple life room in there forever It's weird to think of a tech company as kind of a media thing, but they aren't these they are a media company Yes, a lot of tech and not every tech company, but a lot of especially the Apple has its own
[SPEAKER_03]: network.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, whole network.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's what we're saying.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, some of them are.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, Amazon is not just, uh, you know, going by stuff.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is a tech company and they've got there.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's a media company.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is.
[SPEAKER_12]: So I get all of this.
[SPEAKER_12]: Um, I just.
[SPEAKER_12]: It bothers me the White House Correspondent Center, the White House Correspondent Center bothers me all the time.
[SPEAKER_12]: When I started really getting into politics more professionally, probably about 20 years ago, about the time that I was, you know, starting to do the stuff that led me to work with Obama and Biden.
[SPEAKER_12]: I started to pick this up and it's something that during when Obama was present, excuse me, people used to call,
[SPEAKER_12]: derisively the New York City and DC media folks villagers they don't as much anymore but i have still kept it that up because it makes sense they would rather burn down the world and save their little village of people they get a rub elbows with and go to their book parties and things instead of burning down their village to save the world
[SPEAKER_12]: They are, and they're in their own, even if it's not geographically contiguous, they are in their own village in their own mindset.
[SPEAKER_12]: And so many times the things that they think are important, the rest of us couldn't give a crap about.
[SPEAKER_12]: And then they let themselves be abused like they are this upcoming weekend.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, with the, and look, the White House correspondent's energy used to be that big of a thing.
[SPEAKER_12]: It got big like that when Obama was in when they started calling it nerd prom because all the cool people wanted to go because Obama was cool.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's cool anymore, especially because Donald Trump is somebody who.
[SPEAKER_12]: and probably half of the people in that room, he has in one way or another threatened.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_12]: Sometimes some of them, like literally wanting to kill them.
[SPEAKER_12]: So I'm going, why the hell would you go into a room with somebody like that?
[SPEAKER_02]: Especially with the FCC chair.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, God.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I mean, in general, the I think the press shouldn't be hanging out with the people that are supposed to be reporting and yeah, because it's just human nature.
[SPEAKER_03]: You would cover things up, maybe or not, it'd be completely well, and I get that that's the the White House.
[SPEAKER_12]: Of course, we're supposed to be the one place at one time where the one plate.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, see.
[SPEAKER_12]: exactly one place that they were allowed to kind of rub elbows and things and then they were supposed to the rest of the year not associate with each other that way right do those things it's just been yeah I wanted to go one year it was like 2009 because friends of mine went and I'm like I want to go to there because it looks fun yeah well it did under Obama it was fun
[SPEAKER_12]: Because, among other things, President Obama can laugh at himself.
[SPEAKER_12]: He can laugh himself.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: While I dislike George W. Bush's policy.
[SPEAKER_12]: He could too.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he did.
[SPEAKER_12]: You'll think too laugh at himself.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'll tell you what.
[SPEAKER_12]: They all put himself.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, actually humans can laugh at themselves.
[SPEAKER_12]: Even Reagan and Bush senior can laugh at themselves.
[SPEAKER_12]: You were telling us, Jody, that you met Ronald Reagan.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did.
[SPEAKER_12]: He was a nice person.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was a lovely, he was very nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm going to leave it at that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I couldn't, you could be a nice person.
[SPEAKER_12]: This is, this is what the right wing mainstream hate media has.
[SPEAKER_03]: hating other people because those people they've driven to they've driven them to hate us they've driven them to yeah for existing right and that's why yeah no they don't as it really in my opinion you're hitting the nail on the head here it really is the
[SPEAKER_03]: the media that brought us to this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I did country and it starts back with Reagan and the fairness doctrine and then, unfortunately, Clinton signed the telecommunications.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that was bad.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he thought it was something good, but it was bad.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, there are two things the Bill Clinton admitted to Randy Rhodes that he did that he wishes he hadn't and it was the telecommunications.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, really?
[SPEAKER_12]: It's just one of them.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_02]: I wish he had it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and then, then, Monica Lewinsky.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, yeah, everyone was, but I do remember, and I was like, you know, the telecom act was Look, we've got a lot of fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: He thought it was going to be a good thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but why?
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow, because I remember I was in undergrad.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a message degree in communication.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I was in the undergrad communication.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we were discussing it when this when when the telecommunications act was being
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, when I was a young person and in undergrad, and if we could understand that this was a disaster for the media that it would lead to consolidation, that it would lead to silos of information.
[SPEAKER_03]: We I remember we are we discussed it and if if undergrads and communications courses can figure this out I don't think I would love I like to sit down with I love to sit down with Bill and and and try to get that from him right I don't think he's gonna talk to you about no, they would never never maybe I didn't meet him once to oh Yeah, yeah, so sexy
[SPEAKER_12]: But look, I think the biggest thing was that, um, so in the 90s, when, when this type of stuff was happening, you were having a lot of problems with, uh, mom and pop radio stations.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: But so mom and pop, they came back when he was just back from World War II and they bought a radio station and they bought an AM and maybe they expanded it to an FM and where they had their, their little two station complex and it right.
[SPEAKER_12]: But in the 90s, in the late 80s and early 90s, you started to get a whole lot of these folks who were retiring, they were getting too old, their kids didn't want to take over the radio station, they didn't have anybody to give it to.
[SPEAKER_02]: So they wanted to sell.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right, and the problem was, among other things, that the regulations were so tight.
[SPEAKER_12]: That it would have been good to maybe lessen it a little bit, but he went a little bit and that's Republicans wrote that law by the way, because the Republicans they already saw that and they knew they had that they had that planned out from, yes, even before Joe P. G. That's a V in the late 60s.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's what gave us, it gave us Rush Limbaugh, and I was saying when I was young, my father, my father was a, yeah, and Fox News and all these silas have been for me, and really, my father was a Reagan Democrat.
[SPEAKER_03]: So my father had eight brothers and sisters.
[SPEAKER_03]: He was the only Republican, I guess, and good for me.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I was never going to have black ship, I get it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and
[SPEAKER_03]: They, my aunt, as he was the only one that voted for Nixon, but they were always talking to him.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like trying to talk him off the ledge about it because he was a team star.
[SPEAKER_03]: He was a new citizen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my God.
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: then when I was growing up I would have arguments with my father when I started becoming politically aware in general, but I would listen to Rush Limbaugh with him in the car because I was forced to and then I remember being so disgusted like what is this and he was just consuming that poison all the time and I believe that's why he became he was such a
[SPEAKER_12]: For all, I have 100% they keep doing more and more studies and they have found that, you know, right wing propaganda twist, yes, brains like yes, and it and it even more twist the personality twist the personality to the point where their brain refuses new information exactly that's a problem.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, and that's why that's why you can't have it.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is I can't say can't it is Extremely well shouldn't it it's it is almost impossible to have the kind of right wing Maga style
[SPEAKER_12]: thing and have it actually be news.
[SPEAKER_12]: The key about news is it's new information.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's why it's called news.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: What they want is the olds.
[SPEAKER_12]: They want the olds.
[SPEAKER_12]: They want the white people are back in charge and black and brown people are second class citizens.
[SPEAKER_12]: Women have decided to leave the workforce and they've all gone home too.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we are like red stuff and white.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: They want
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, yes, because it's new information does have a liberal bias because that's part of what it means right to be liberal is to explore new things to try new stuff.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's part of being liberal.
[SPEAKER_12]: And so yeah, they're like, I hate that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, we know you like the olds and that's funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like they are.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's a good way to put it really because they are the olds.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, they're dragging us back to the time that we say that the founders fought a revolution to escape.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's really where their policies are headed.
[SPEAKER_03]: All you got to do is take them to their conclusion.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Rich run and rule everything and everyone else knows their place and awaits their rewards in heaven.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you have a problem.
[SPEAKER_03]: You go to the church.
[SPEAKER_03]: You go for it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Don't expect the government to solve your problem.
[SPEAKER_12]: Go to the church or just suck it up and write.
[SPEAKER_12]: right and and pray pray because you don't you don't pester your betters don't oh God no that's that's what it's that's what they're doing yeah this is one of the reasons why it's still important for us to focus on the stuff that's good to focus on the news that actually comes down because we know so much of the main stuff
[SPEAKER_12]: doesn't in the justice land section today in the fourth round of the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_12]: Pennsylvania Court has struck down a ban on the use of Medicaid funds for abortions confirming the state's constitution guarantees or right to abortion.
[SPEAKER_12]: Good.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hell yeah, it's great.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know just to say a little bit about abortion that one thing that I think that Democrats miss as far as messaging is that abortions
[SPEAKER_03]: criminal action does not reduce the abortion rate.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I don't know why Democrats never say this.
[SPEAKER_03]: In fact, if you do nobody likes abortion, you know, you just, it's not the business though.
[SPEAKER_03]: But if you want to reduce the abortion rate, you, you promote the economic, the social control.
[SPEAKER_12]: Some of it goes, some of it goes back to the, oh, we can't go near Hillary Clinton.
[SPEAKER_12]: But Hillary Clinton said the phrase, that still should be the
[SPEAKER_12]: safe legal and rare and it's not rare because it's outlawed it should be rare because it shouldn't be necessary because you have kids on on age appropriate sex ed because you've made contraception universally available to everybody at no cost they're coming after contraception
[SPEAKER_12]: Unfortunately, they that's one of the reasons why it was nice to see this Pennsylvania court ruling by the way more quote We're really more good news This Supreme court.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, that's that's not a great one, but the Purdue farmer case is the Purdue farmer Well, it's good of finally being sentenced that long-running criminal opioid case Wow, so all the fans that are yep the sackers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah
[SPEAKER_02]: mm-hmm yep details finally they're in the news on top of the finally they're gonna finally wine that sucker down yes they're gonna have to pay a whole bunch money but they got a bajillion dollars so what they held it when I first learned about oxycodone which was I was at a rehab facility with one of my sisters who is going through stuff and we were in a family group
[SPEAKER_02]: And one of the people who was our family and this other family, and this guy said, well, I got hooked on oxycodone, and this was in God 2002.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, was that long ago?
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said, you only have to take it every 12 hours.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, that's awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because, yeah, it's only ever 12 hours.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he's like, yeah, but I had to keep it up.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, wait, that makes no sense.
[SPEAKER_13]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the best painkiller ever, because you only have to do well.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why, so today we're just six times a day.
[SPEAKER_12]: Then it puts the monkey on your back where you're going.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like, because I've taken vikin' in, I'm like, I wait four hours.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even if I'm in pain.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I take it at four hours.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't do it ahead of the time, because I read labels.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're lucky.
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't have that addict mind.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm like, if it's only every four hours, and I'm still in pain.
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: for hours, even if I'm a bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, that's a great drug.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's over 12 hours.
[SPEAKER_12]: I feel for those families that I've had to be dealing with this for so very long.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.
[SPEAKER_02]: And this guy, he almost killed his children.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_02]: On that drug, we're talking 2000.
[SPEAKER_12]: Two, you said, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: One, two, one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Two doesn't want.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he almost killed his children.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I still give him and his, they're still together.
[SPEAKER_02]: Christmas cards, they're still, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so it was like, I just thought the drug was great.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's only 12 hours.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was like, all of them, like, once a day.
[SPEAKER_12]: Look, there's all kinds of dark sides to think.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's where I go with us.
[SPEAKER_13]: It's like, once a day is awesome.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly, but it's one of the reasons why it's important to get all the details and that's why we by the way Give folks the details in the news on tap which you can subscribe to for free at the politics bar That way you guys know exactly what we're talking about and what we're going to be talking about during the day Which we highly recommend we got one more segment I believe can you stay with us until we close the bar down here?
[SPEAKER_03]: Why not?
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, we will make our sober friend.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're just gonna drag her out with her coffee.
[SPEAKER_12]: Tera, I'm a coffee.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm a coffee.
[SPEAKER_12]: Be coffee on your Tuesday night.

[SPEAKER_05]: Mom, I feel like the pain is going to hurt.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm scared.
[SPEAKER_10]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: Last call here on a Tuesday night.
[SPEAKER_12]: You got your journey hounds if you got your shots with beers and Sarah Devlin is still hanging out with us.
[SPEAKER_12]: We really appreciate it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hey, if you enjoyed Tara here at the bar You can enjoy Tara at your place just you know go Tuesdays Thursdays Fridays go to her YouTube channel.
[SPEAKER_12]: We've got things linked
[SPEAKER_12]: If you want right there in the guess section at the Paul Thank you so much.
[SPEAKER_12]: We do we can try to help people out.
[SPEAKER_12]: We are good media.
[SPEAKER_12]: We try to help people out and form them Get them laughing.
[SPEAKER_12]: I happen to be thinking that
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, certain certain things should change depending on elections, obviously.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, you know, look, I'm still excited.
[SPEAKER_12]: They're they're counting haven't heard and we're not paying attention to what's going on over Jenny and not paying attention to the counting right now.
[SPEAKER_12]: By the way, some news, by the way, I think you saw this last night, Jody confirmed.
[SPEAKER_12]: Betty Yee has dropped out of her eyes.
[SPEAKER_02]: She has dropped out of her eyes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Betty.
[SPEAKER_02]: For doing it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_12]: Thank you, Betty.
[SPEAKER_12]: Very much.
[SPEAKER_12]: By the way, latest poll in the California Governor's race shows.
[SPEAKER_12]: that Republican held in this still leading, but but Sarah is in second.
[SPEAKER_12]: It looks like actually he's he's tied with the crazy ass Sheriff.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it was up this morning, depending on the poll.
[SPEAKER_12]: So you may have even newer one.
[SPEAKER_12]: This poll's in the yesterday.
[SPEAKER_12]: So I mean, look, but Sarah is rising, which is great.
[SPEAKER_12]: I would like to be voting for him.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, for him.
[SPEAKER_12]: He's like that more.
[SPEAKER_12]: Good.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, we like that.
[SPEAKER_12]: I would like the media to cover the duplicity and the, I mean, look, part of the reason that we don't know what's going on with this whole Iran war thing by it's on again, off again, war not war is because of the fact that
[SPEAKER_12]: usually with these kinds of things, you have a media on the other side that has maybe not necessarily all the same rights that we do, but similar rights so you can get some reliable information from them.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's extremely tough with a ran there.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, there's not a whole lot of alternative media because they'd the regime there doesn't have it.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm a state media.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: And their state media is like most state media is garbage.
[SPEAKER_12]: But they have been in some ways more honest than obviously the Trump regime with the, you know, they said that Vance was going yesterday and then he didn't, I don't even know if he's left this evening.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's a 14 hour trip to freaking in Lamabad.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I don't think he's left.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm I'm looking.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think he has.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think he has a post.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's still here.
[SPEAKER_03]: His trip is on ice now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Donald wants to nuke him.
[SPEAKER_12]: probably.
[SPEAKER_12]: We know that we know that Donald actually wants to get out of some of this.
[SPEAKER_12]: There is a good piece from the Wall Street Journal and it's weird to say this because I have learned to respect the news side of the Wall Street Journal more.
[SPEAKER_12]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm still not a big fan of.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I've.
[SPEAKER_12]: There's even a few people on the opinion side that I've started to do at least understand a little bit where they're coming from where they're coming from is they are Wall Street corporates and they don't like uncertainty either no so there against this on a good off again more thing But there is a piece we've got it listed there in that first round under on the in the news on tap which you can get at the politics bar dot com
[SPEAKER_12]: uh... that's called uh... we re-titled it uh... behind trumps public revato on the Iran war trump staff clearly sees him as impulsive and unstable slightly different from their title but it's a gift length so you don't have you described the law street journal um... the fact of the matter is you read through the piece and it's pretty clear they have been trying to run this Iran war without doing a whole lot of asking Donald about this yes and even the fact that the way of the law street journal couches this says to me the mainstream media still doesn't have enough courage
[SPEAKER_12]: to get out there and say the things, I'm glad that they're reporting this.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm glad that they're reporting that that we're seeing that there are people who are like, don't worry, Donnie, you go over here and play with your remote and play with your little black bearer that we gave you.
[SPEAKER_03]: With your arcs, let's just say arc of Trump.
[SPEAKER_03]: But they call it arc.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know why they call it arc.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just want to say like 70 said this morning.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just do it like 18 inches.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Jolika, you should come in and just do it again.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just look at it.
[SPEAKER_12]: I look at it and say, I'm okay.
[SPEAKER_12]: So we know that there are some people who are trying to keep him a little bit away from some of this.
[SPEAKER_12]: But I also look at all of this and just say, the dude isn't.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, yeah, it's not a healthy help.
[SPEAKER_12]: The media needs to be honest.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yep about this and of course the mainstream media is still not and because some of them are bought.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, Washington Post.
[SPEAKER_12]: But I don't know if you guys saw they they had it online this last weekend They did a big huge fluff piece in their business section about Lauren Vazos Jeff's wife.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, good.
[SPEAKER_12]: God Seriously, it was the front page of their business.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, are you kidding me the own I see your cat the owner of the paper did a puff piece on his wife
[SPEAKER_12]: correct.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_12]: I was supposed to tell me is that sound at the front of the business section, Joe.
[SPEAKER_12]: He wasn't in the house section.
[SPEAKER_12]: It was in the bit.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's so disgraceful.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's about that.
[SPEAKER_12]: I hope she isn't.
[SPEAKER_12]: I would be.
[SPEAKER_12]: And then when you look at actual facts that need to be on the front page of business and of the main.
[SPEAKER_12]: So if you look in a second round where Trump and Omic is failing today, the cost of the war are huge.
[SPEAKER_12]: The head of the UN humanitarian agency today said U.S. spending the reckless Iran war could have saved 87 million lives.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: There's a commercial board came out today, said retail sales were up 1.7% in March, and the biggest reason was because of the increased price of gas, due to the Iran war.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not about money, it's not about people spending on stuff they need, it's about how much it costs.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: Without fuel, the Commerce Department's Department's report said retail sales were only a 0.6% but a lot of those costs were also up because of the higher fuel prices needed to deliver.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: A couple of the analysts said basically there's no real growth.
[SPEAKER_12]: There is also a new strengthening numbers.
[SPEAKER_12]: Varacide poll shrumps handling of prices has hit a record low.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, disapproval.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's
[SPEAKER_02]: is the the approval of her aunt and went like a wow on it he went it I love houses I love houses at warf and I love houses I'm pulling it's just I love how he talks a little bit different different burrow from from terra but yeah he's so amazing he's like the best
[SPEAKER_12]: And the new Versite poll is at a new low of 35% and Democrats are up in the generic ballot and that same poll by seven.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh wow.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I wonder about, you know, the 35% and what's it going to take?
[SPEAKER_03]: But I do, I think that it's because there's a personality treat, the authoritarian personality treat and about 35% of the population.
[SPEAKER_03]: are authoritarian followers so it will probably never go below thirty five percent so he's really hitting rock bottom and only the the maga zombies who basically follow him are still or the the people who
[SPEAKER_12]: know that they have gone so deep that they are afraid they can't come back.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, whatever.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's so true because they it is a cult.
[SPEAKER_03]: They've lost friends.
[SPEAKER_03]: They've lost family.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Their entire identity is built around this con man.
[SPEAKER_03]: So it will take a lot to excise them from the solution.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's the whole, that's where we were talking about the media stuff, too, and about how that continues to act as their blankie.
[SPEAKER_12]: They're comforts.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're right.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because it's, that's the thing, though.
[SPEAKER_03]: you know and this is where the telecommunications act and what we're talking about the media consolidation we have a lot of work cut out for us here with if you know when hopefully we get our country back on track and we're not going to be able to be successful if we have the alternate universe still in effect
[SPEAKER_03]: That's why at one time during the Vietnam War, Walter Cronkite could say the war is lost, and people believed it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't have a problem with the idea of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But Donald was, Donald just said he would have won the war.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, he said it in 10 days.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you said that before, multiple times.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_12]: I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
[SPEAKER_12]: When I say when I when I hedge this type of stuff and I talk to some people they get they get oh you you want to censor and get rid of all the right way me I'd love to get rid of all the right way me but among other things we have the first amendment yeah so far well now we we will but it doesn't it doesn't mean
[SPEAKER_12]: just because we have the first amendment doesn't mean you get to say and he won't work on the radio on broadcast stations right now there are at least seven words that we can't.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah there's the s word the f word the d word there's a m word and we're t word because you can't say there's b
[SPEAKER_12]: There's a whole lot of words, but there's also more to it than that, just like with the Supreme Court where all the justices are federal judges, but you can move them to other federal courts.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, we can, that's another thing.
[SPEAKER_12]: There's no reason why we were talking about that here in the bar yesterday.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, we were.
[SPEAKER_12]: And there's no reason that we can't have an 18 year term limit for them and fine.
[SPEAKER_12]: You're on there for there, but then we'll shift you if you still want to go on.
[SPEAKER_12]: In the same way, we can say, you can still publish and produce whatever media you want.
[SPEAKER_12]: But I think it is desperately important for the news industry as a whole to set professional standards.
[SPEAKER_12]: Not necessarily set by the government, but maybe assisted by the government, other countries have this too where the private industry sets a standard, the government thinks it's a good
[SPEAKER_12]: So if you meet exactly, if you have a movie that meets the MPA ratings, you get access to certain financial benefits.
[SPEAKER_12]: And if you don't meet the rating system, then you don't get access to some of those benefits.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's very similar, perfecting, perfect metaphor, Jodie.
[SPEAKER_02]: I might even be this entertainment lady.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: But that's just, I think we should have news, and this is news.
[SPEAKER_12]: And if you don't qualify because you're just pushing so much BS and garbage and propaganda,
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, I mean, yes, you have three facts and 3,000 piles of garbage.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm sorry, but you need to have more facts than garbage.
[SPEAKER_12]: You don't get to call yourself news.
[SPEAKER_12]: You don't get to be distributed at the same level.
[SPEAKER_12]: And you have to be kind of minimized a little bit.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, you can't have it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Doesn't mean people still can't find it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: It also means that they're they're it's defined in a different way.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, you're totally.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that that sounds like a reason of all Alternating kids.
[SPEAKER_12]: They like can't say you can't scream fire in a crowded theater.
[SPEAKER_12]: You can't say bomb on the plane The bomb in a line going to a red.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's right.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_12]: We we have restrictions on speech already for the safety of everyone else And we've seen what the right wing problem began to dust people to families and to our society.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm sorry, but that should be enough proof.
[SPEAKER_12]: They need million people who died of COVID in part because I'm gonna stick a light up my bum.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_03]: And drink bleach.
[SPEAKER_03]: People did that.
[SPEAKER_03]: They did do that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: And that's why I'm sorry, but it's still a safety thing.
[SPEAKER_12]: You can produce it what you want.
[SPEAKER_12]: You just can't call it news.
[SPEAKER_02]: And took, I've remectin, which is a parasite, parasitic thing, it's like, if you have a parasite, take it.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're still, you realize they're still, oh yeah, I vermectin.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh no, I mean, it's, oh I know, personally, I know somebody that took it during coming.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my god, they're, I mean, now they're selling it.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you go on, because I have to watch these clips and all for the show, and if you go on, like, all right, what is that, like, right wing news?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I would have a job here, whatever it is, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's they're selling I've a Macton, they're they're selling the what's the other one.
[SPEAKER_12]: By the way, the either court, yeah, hydro they are going to have fun, supplements, fun, like probably gummy theirs and things that they're talking, mockingly sell on the new info wars.
[SPEAKER_12]: So the funny thing is going to use that in the rocket.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it's weird, but that's, that's why why are they selling either Mexican.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it's crazy.
[SPEAKER_12]: There he is.
