[SPEAKER_03]: It was all right, got to meet to flee.
[SPEAKER_03]: I heard I heard this you texted me and you're like, hey, okay, you got to tell this but Jody has the story.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, okay, so Lonnie wanted to go have lunch up at this restaurant in Beverly Glen.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's up in the hills.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're a mall Holland.
[SPEAKER_06]: And so we took the model A and had a nice little lunch.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't want to terrify you a little bit to ride.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, no, no, the bucket terrifies me.
[SPEAKER_06]: The quality doesn't bother me.
[SPEAKER_03]: The A is in close a little bit, but the bucket is...
[SPEAKER_06]: The bucket is frightening.
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, I've been in it once and only down a block.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'm good.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm good.
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, you know, because it's open, it's just awful.
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, two buckets of plants.
[SPEAKER_06]: So we took the model A up and had a lovely lunch with this Delle up there, met a couple dogs.
[SPEAKER_06]: And we leave and we, he decided to take Mohull and a little farther than we usually take it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, because we could have gone back down Beverly Glen, but he said let's go all the way to the world I'm like, okay, fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's a nice drive.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a nice drive.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a lot of ones are really nice drive Because you guys are nice days.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was a beautiful day so that you could see the entire valley It was super clear and then on the other side of my home You could see down to the you could see the ocean so depending on the high, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: And so as we're going almost hit cohort of canyon Disgupe pulls out of his driveway
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, that overlooks the valley.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was kind of a steep driveway.
[SPEAKER_06]: And he's on a bike.
[SPEAKER_06]: Look like he was in pajamas.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not kidding.
[SPEAKER_06]: The outfit he was wearing.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm like, the same jammy.
[SPEAKER_06]: And um, so we stopped at the light.
[SPEAKER_06]: And he pulls up right to the Lonnie's side.
[SPEAKER_06]: And he opens his helmet up.
[SPEAKER_06]: And he was, hey, what year's that car?
[SPEAKER_06]: And
[SPEAKER_06]: We both look at him and Lonnie says this is the 1930 model A and he goes, wow, 1930.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's really cool.
[SPEAKER_06]: And Lonnie goes, are you fleeing?
[SPEAKER_06]: Because yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: And we're like, you know, that's a great car.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then he took the bike and he made a right and then he went, he didn't wait for the light.
[SPEAKER_06]: He made a right and then, you know, up and took off on Mulholland.
[SPEAKER_06]: But it was just like, the icey flee.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was kind of cool, you know?
[SPEAKER_06]: That's very cool.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've only heard nice things about the guys.
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's not surprising.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've heard he's a generally pretty nice guy.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: So that his role and back to the future two and three was a little bit out of character for him.
[SPEAKER_06]: I thought he was great.
[SPEAKER_06]: He looks more like that guy now.
[UNKNOWN]: Good.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, time does it to all of us.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I was glad to see over the weekend, Pope Leo do a nice thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let him over to that again.
[SPEAKER_03]: That was nice.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he made some comments.
[SPEAKER_03]: We obviously have some of the details on that in the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to say, I was very glad that the member of the mission got rescued, so thank you very much to the military for that.
[SPEAKER_06]: That was very glad.
[SPEAKER_06]: And apparently it was very risky.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so in the news on tap in the first round under Trump's costly Iran war rolls on under the weekend rescue in Iran section, there's a story about foredown called the CIA deception campaign bought time for rescue of down to airmen, but confused people worldwide also confused us.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's why when we were talking about the, you know, did we know?
[SPEAKER_03]: Did we not know what was going on on Friday?
[SPEAKER_03]: It was on purpose.
[SPEAKER_03]: uh... took up about fifty hours from the time that the the plane was hits uh... they that they hit the ejection seats to about the time that they they got the people up but it was a
[SPEAKER_03]: They're all saying, oh, it was a great success.
[SPEAKER_03]: You got the guy, but it was a complete cluster.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was not.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, they got the airplanes.
[SPEAKER_06]: They got the technology.
[SPEAKER_06]: They can, I mean.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, they didn't really get the technology of the airplanes.
[SPEAKER_03]: So for those of you who missed it.
[SPEAKER_03]: So here's a deal.
[SPEAKER_03]: Over the weekend, the US military rescued the missing airman that was in Iran.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a weekend night mission.
[SPEAKER_03]: So it was Saturday night.
[SPEAKER_03]: One of the things that they did wrong is they did not scout the landing area appropriately.
[SPEAKER_03]: They had two of the planes that they sent were two C-130s.
[SPEAKER_03]: They are MC 130s.
[SPEAKER_03]: So they are the kind that is designed for special command-toe style missions.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're not the AC-130s that everybody thinks of those are the gunships.
[SPEAKER_03]: The AC-130s, it's the same planes, the C-130 plane.
[SPEAKER_03]: But the AC 130 is the one that has the guns and, you know, can fire from, you know, all over the place, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: The, the, the MC 130, the MC 130 J, sorry, military stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, that's the one that's specialized for commando stuff, and has quieter baffles and whatever.
[SPEAKER_03]: And they had, uh, like two Apache helicopters on each of them.
[SPEAKER_03]: And unfortunately, the place that they decided to land, basically had really soft sand.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like if you go to the beach, you know, and you have a friend or somebody who's in a wheelchair and they have to look at the beach chairs.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the beach chairs have the specialty wheels so they don't sink into the sand.
[SPEAKER_03]: yeah these are giant planes with helicopters and people inside so they sunk into the sand they didn't exactly scout appropriately so that was the first mistake as journey rolls arise yeah i did do when i when i heard this i was like are you kidding me um so i haven't been you fired the top generals
[SPEAKER_03]: Judges right when you fire the top people overall but so that they lost now this is just they lost the one f-15 jet that was the initial two um one of the planes that they used to try to scout the guy was the eight and word hog that they shot and they ended up crashing in Kuwait on his way back right that was that uh they lost two uh MC 130 J commando planes and four patchy helicopters let me run you just the numbers on these uh one f-15 jet is a hundred million
[SPEAKER_03]: 1,810 word hog is 20 million to mc 130 j commando planes are 240 million about 120 million a piece and four patchy helicopters are 200 million so let's see what is that 200 plus 240 so 440 plus 20 it's for 60 five 60 that's just in the cost of
[SPEAKER_03]: the vehicle here yeah just here that that's just the the aircraft that we lost that doesn't include the the damage to because there were a couple of their patchy helicopters damage that doesn't include any of the fuel costs or the costs of the labor for the members of the military that doesn't include any of the cost of the intel group right who did you know whatever that doesn't
[SPEAKER_03]: it's sitting somewhere around what is it $40,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
[SPEAKER_03]: We could finance the Children's Health Program, the CHIP Program for poor kids for nearly two years, or we could extend Medicaid for every child birth to age five in the entire United States for seven years at a cost of about 6.1 billion per year.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've been, I've been complaining about the cost of war over the cost of taking care of people.
[SPEAKER_06]: Overputting America first?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, since the early 90s, since the Gulf War, the first Gulf War.
[SPEAKER_06]: I was like, what's the point of this?
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, okay, it's nice to help people.
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't I'm problem with that, but there are ways to do it without going to war?
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm glad that Madge and some of us folks, some of the America first folks are joining our position, which is, let's not do stupid wars, because this is, we could be spending this money on things like we said the ACA, healthcare for kids, food for poor people in America.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow, we could be doing a lot better things with it than, you know, and I'm not knocking
[SPEAKER_03]: We never leave a soldier behind.
[SPEAKER_03]: We always agree to go after every soldier.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is just something that's that standard, you know, better and I know this.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, yeah, I mean, that's like the first rule of combat.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, for us, at least, there are other nations that they don't have the same rule.
[SPEAKER_03]: There are ones where they go, hey, you know, you get left behind, you get left behind.
[SPEAKER_03]: Have a nice day, sex to be you.
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's one of the things that in the past is supposed to make America what America is.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is where you have to look at the cost of war and the cost of war and dollars in cents.
[SPEAKER_03]: Look.
[SPEAKER_03]: This has the question, why are we there?
[SPEAKER_03]: We still don't know why we're there.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're 36, 37, 37 days into the stupid ass war in Iran.
[SPEAKER_03]: We don't know why to help we're there.
[SPEAKER_03]: So just on a dollar's in sense, then you get to the cost of soft power, then you get to the cost of what we could be doing with that money here in the United States.
[SPEAKER_03]: Then you get to the cost of and the cost of and the cost of and the cost of and the cost of.
[SPEAKER_03]: and then you get to the cost of our own spirit that this weekend was supposed to be about peace of John if everybody remembers John is here on Friday and I think he did a great thing and reposted several times across different social media because he went on morning joe and he did something he said something similar to with the Revale and and Scarborough himself and and
[SPEAKER_03]: This was supposed to be a weekend about peace, whether or not you're a Christian, I think Muslims, Jews, anybody.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I mean, it was Passover and Easter and yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think everybody is is like, hey, it was supposed to be, you know, and it's the beginning of spring and right, what did he cost the mental health?
[SPEAKER_03]: What did it cost for people who are constantly worrying about?
[SPEAKER_03]: money because of the damage it's being done to our economy the gas that's now uh... was it four dollars or twelve here uh... four twelve yeah four four eleven point nine was the uh... triple a average today that was this morning it could be way up by now i mean yeah true true
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's a lot of costs that we got to look at here on this Monday as we get back in to things and we're like that Yes, there's dollars in cents in the dollars in cents are high, but so or some of the other costs of the things that this Stupid ass war and oh, man.
[SPEAKER_03]: We we don't normally let Donnie talk here because you know He just he annoys us normally you know don't says something around here, and we're just like shut the Up Donnie, but you know

[SPEAKER_03]: He does.
[SPEAKER_03]: I said, they're all there.
[SPEAKER_03]: I said, look, like many of the folks in Trump's regime and the magas who were related to them in Congress.
[SPEAKER_03]: Their secret service code names are pretty obvious.
[SPEAKER_03]: For example, Stephen Chang's code name.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_03]: Odd job, obviously.
[SPEAKER_03]: Odd, yes, love.
[SPEAKER_03]: Lauren Bulbert, representative Lauren Bulbert.

[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, we like to say that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, a job, hand job, obviously.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, my job is snow job.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just saying, look, you can see why these people think they're the jobs people.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Look, I'm required mandatorally to give at least one bad dad joke evening.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's just, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Besides that, you would rather laugh than cry, especially considering some of the other news that's out there.
[SPEAKER_03]: We got to get back to it because this is the politics barn.
[SPEAKER_03]: We talk about the news and the politics of the day.
[SPEAKER_03]: We do have under today's Iran War updates, a live update from the AP talking about the latest ceasefire proposal, basically Iran said no and Donald said no.
[SPEAKER_03]: So they've got a
[SPEAKER_03]: Now there's an 8 p.m. Eastern deadline for tomorrow night, okay, or what we don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you know, he just, he gave, it was a five day deadline and then he put the deadline up for 10 days and they put it up for another day.
[SPEAKER_03]: The market today seems to think that that he's going to be getting out, but
[SPEAKER_03]: I, I don't know for, you saw it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know you saw it, but I don't know that everybody else saw the message over the freaking weekend from Donald.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I saw it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I was like, no, because every time I see something like that, I'm like, because most people don't like link to it.
[SPEAKER_06]: They just kind of screenshot it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, and he for good reason, but that Robbie Rist, cousin Oliver, um, who I'm friends with on Facebook, he posted, and then somebody said, he didn't write that, and then I went to Truth Central, and I was like, no, it's there.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I sent him the links to it, and then Robbie writes back, going, well, I don't think he wrote it himself.
[SPEAKER_06]: It doesn't matter.
[SPEAKER_06]: He approved it.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's irrelevant.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, he actually had his fingers in the keyboard.
[SPEAKER_03]: Everything that goes out of it.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's irrelevant.
[SPEAKER_03]: He appears.
[SPEAKER_03]: His responsibility.
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: So for those of you who missed this idiotic post that he put on Truth Central and Sunday morning around 5.30 a.m. Eastern, I will read it and I will only censor one word because it's a word we can't say.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm God castrated.
[SPEAKER_03]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here is his post, quote Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, all in caps by the way, PPD, Power Plant.
[SPEAKER_03]: Tuesday will be Power Plant Day and Bridge Day all wrapped up in one in
[SPEAKER_03]: open the effing straight you crazy bastards or you'll be living in hell just watch praise be to Allah Thank you for attention this manner down the chapter This is the kind of stupid ass bullying that do you know David Rodius?
[SPEAKER_06]: No
[SPEAKER_03]: He's a long-time journalist.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's worked for a number of, he's working with MS now these days.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I saw him in earlier today, and I've seen a few other people, I can't remember who Tapper was talking to earlier, talking about the fact that, and these are some experience heads, and I saw a couple of people, I think, one of them talking to Ali Velshy this week and it's at the same thing, saying that these are experienced foreign policy journalists that they've been over there, they've been on the ground during war stuff, whatever,
[SPEAKER_03]: which is the arand's literacy trump posting that unhings thing of the swearing to them really drives at home.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a sign of weakness.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a sign of weakness to them.
[SPEAKER_03]: They see his unhings posting and his unhings screens as weakness.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, why should we make a deal with this dude?
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, and he, Emma, I heard him saying that, yeah, the new guys are not jerks like the old guys.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's like, dude, you're talking about the guys dad.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, and also they're the same guy.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're the same guys.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you're talking about the guys dad.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, do you think that in public, it's like if he talks about them like that behind closed doors, that's one thing and it's stupid, but it's still.
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't talk about it.
[SPEAKER_06]: to the press.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, 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_01]: You said that very little is off limits in Iran as far as the target, including power plants, bridges you've mentioned, those very little is off limits.
[SPEAKER_01]: Are there certain kinds of civilian targets, though, I'm thinking, I don't want to judge you, though.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't want to judge you, though.
[SPEAKER_04]: We have a plan because of the power of our military.
[SPEAKER_04]: Where every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o'clock tomorrow night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding, and never to be used again.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, that's a work I noticed he just said I don't want to tell you that right and then he starts telling me I have a plan right and then I'm gonna tell you the plan Then I just said I wasn't gonna tell you but I'm gonna tell you the plan anyway even though I just told him I wasn't gonna tell you the plan If you're like God that sounds completely unhinged wait there's more
[SPEAKER_04]: Now with Venezuela, and we just see innocent, the people of Venezuela, they say if I ran for President of Venezuela, I'm pulling higher than anybody has ever pulled in Venezuela.
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course you are.
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course with this, I can go to Venezuela.
[SPEAKER_04]: I will quickly learn Spanish.
[SPEAKER_04]: I won't take too long.
[SPEAKER_06]: Quickly, of course you will.
[SPEAKER_04]: I will go to Venezuela.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've got to run for President.
[SPEAKER_04]: Shut up.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've got to run for President.
[SPEAKER_03]: he's so annoying and so stupid and oh oh it gets it gets even worse okay you know the Olympic phrase though it's not even it's often used in reference to the Olympics but it's often used in reference to war as well I mean it's been around since long before you were I were around to the victor go the spoil right yeah okay uh and here's Dodd-Ringdonny again at this conference you know the old days to the victim
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, you know that to think to the winner belong to squirrels go the squirrels and I've said why don't we use it to the vector go the squirrels shut the Help us all This it is and then okay, somebody asked him directly the question and I love this they asked him this are you to which is it are you winding this down are you I can't you I don't know I don't know
[SPEAKER_03]: And he doesn't know where he's wanting a down or escalating.
[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my god, if people wonder why the Iranian government is looking going to we're going to wait this idea out.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's going to get tired of this.
[SPEAKER_03]: We have the we have complete control of the one thing that he really wants, which is opening the streets of Hormuz.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the rest of the world is starting to deal with us directly and go dude we're we're not with we ain't with that guy We are not with that man.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we are not with those folks.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_06]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the straight gonna be open up for everybody but us and Israel So They're like we wait this out all day I
[SPEAKER_03]: the costs are so high in dollars in the mindset in our economy and it didn't have to be this way if Ronald Reagan hadn't started by tearing the solar panels off the White House in 1981.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it didn't have to be this way if they didn't do the stupid thing and let Reagan play along with Iran.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, there was that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, that's the only reason he got elected, but besides that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: We wouldn't have started if we wouldn't even mess around in a ran.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I mean, you know, we wouldn't have to go with that back that far.
[SPEAKER_03]: All we have to do is go back to all you had to do was vote for the black woman who's extremely qualified, the black and South Asian woman.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's all you had to do.
[SPEAKER_03]: Or how all you had to do was, if you're like, I don't know if I can vote for a black woman or a South Asian woman.
[SPEAKER_03]: All you had to do was vote for the white woman.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, before that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be qualified, would not have gotten us into a dumb ass of born Iran, would have made sure that we didn't have to worry about, you know, the pandemic, probably wouldn't make sure that was taken care.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, Tim Kane might be our president right now, had she gotten her eight years.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's, you know, it's better than one of my senators, well, this is true.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you know, box of rocks is better than
[SPEAKER_06]: Well the thing is, is if we were not so dependent as Joe Biden was trying to help us do on oil.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: And Donald took that away.
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw a story on that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't even send that to you today because I was just like, we have a lot of good stories that are in the news on tap today about this.
[SPEAKER_03]: But that Americans, once again, we said it recently, and I saw another one, that Americans are now clamoring for what he treats.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, honestly, if I could afford one right now, I would totally buy one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because people look at cars and they say, look, that's a 10, 12, maybe 15-year investment, would I, I mean, Steph, I heard this morning say she's had her vehicle for 20 years or something like that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, my first car I had for ever, and I mean, I had my Jeep forever.
[SPEAKER_06]: I sold that to my friend Amanda.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I, I had my mini for at least 10 years.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: So people are looking and going, you know what?
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, we're going to need a new one anyway, another investment, you know, an investment in a vehicle for another 10 or 20 years, and frankly, we, we don't know what the house is going to happen with this gas thing, and we'd like to not be paying five, six, seven, eight.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, even just a hybrid would save you a fortune.
[SPEAKER_03]: You got a place to plug it in, yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, and the thing with completely electric vehicles, there's a lot less maintenance for it.
[SPEAKER_06]: There are easier to make.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're less expensive.
[SPEAKER_06]: It might be slightly more expensive.
[SPEAKER_06]: A brand new one, slightly more expensive.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, they may be more expensive up front, but they're not in the long run.
[SPEAKER_06]: The maintenance is a lot lower.
[SPEAKER_06]: You don't have oil changes.
[SPEAKER_06]: You don't have certain things that are gears that are doing what they, it's a totally different thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't want to raise things.
[SPEAKER_06]: You don't want to raise things.
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't want to raise things.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, there are a lot of ways to go around the world and do things.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, and Donnie doesn't seem to care about the fertilizer that we're not going to get.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, it's too late for a lot of the farmers around the country who are already into spring planting.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's too late for them.
[SPEAKER_03]: They can't wait.
[SPEAKER_03]: So some of them are
[SPEAKER_03]: moving to different kinds of crops that don't need what they normally need and right just like it's it's a complicated explanation of that but it the long short is that the costs from all of this it's not just the cost as far as the cost to the war although we gotta talk about that too because
[SPEAKER_03]: Donald wants a $1.5 trillion, a 40% increase in military spending, but he even wants to increase how much he's spending on the White House renovations, which he can't do right now because that's blocked.
[SPEAKER_03]: But he wants to increase all that, but he wants to take away your health care, and he wants to take away things like foods from the poor people, and other Republicans and Congress, they're all behind that.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're like, heck yeah, let's do that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, if you're like, damn, I need a drink.
[SPEAKER_03]: We do too, we're gonna get a drink.
[SPEAKER_03]: Something beer related.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, let's do that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Drink the day next Monday night, with Jody and me and you hanging out here at the politics party.
[SPEAKER_03]: Monday, and then hanging out with Jodi and me and you.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you very much.
[SPEAKER_03]: By the way, everybody who listens to us live on the radio and of course.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you are one of those, future people, and you are listening from whatever you happen to be, we really appreciate that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Honestly, of course, something we also really, really appreciate is when you guys subscribe at the politicsbar.com.
[SPEAKER_03]: But, doing this show, there's a lot of work that's involved in making sure you guys get everything from the news on tap, which you can get for free by subscribing to the politicsbar.com.
[SPEAKER_03]: But if you pay $6 a month, by the way, Joni, you realize there's like four and a half weeks in this month?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: But, you know, still, it technically, it should be a little bit cheaper, because at a buck 50 a week, if there's more than four weeks, anyway, look, it's $6 a month, less if you do it as an annual subscription, basically a buck 50 a week, it gets you everything, gets you the news on tap, it gets you the podcast, ad-free, and it gets you the drink of the day, with the recipe, check it out, it's all there at thepaltxbar.com.
[SPEAKER_03]: I am betting that you are very glad that you are able to sleep in a little bit more and walk
[SPEAKER_03]: in the mornings.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean tomorrow you'd be, you know, over at that stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: And Friday, we're going to be on the Richard Chew Show.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'm also going to be on Tara Devlin's show at 530 p.m. Pacific live on her show Friday night.
[SPEAKER_06]: So.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Which so after the bar, you're going to go over there.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: Look, and not the wrong with that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I hung out with Charlie last week after we got out of here.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know?
[SPEAKER_03]: Hang out with our friends is a good thing to do, but for those people who are like who all that's this tough talk earlier today God, this is this some heavy news today.
[SPEAKER_03]: I really wish there was something fun to celebrate So you know what's happy new beers
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not a fake hollet, it's not what those fake radio hollets, it's an actual holiday.
[SPEAKER_00]: Really?
[SPEAKER_03]: Seriously, I know some of you were like, why did we cheer?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a real holiday, it's part of the drink of the day today.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you know, you know, because we already gave you the details for those of you who are subscribed.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not a fake radio hollet, it's a real thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a real thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: And a good thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Although the background of it wouldn't exactly great.
[SPEAKER_06]: No.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it wasn't the official ending of what it was ending.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, it was the beginning and the end.
[SPEAKER_03]: So we can inform them if you will.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: So the 18th amendment was ratified January 16, 1919 for prohibition.
[SPEAKER_06]: And so in 1933 it was overturned, but it didn't become officially overturned until December 5th of 1933.
[SPEAKER_06]: But today some states were allowing beer.
[SPEAKER_06]: that is sold again.
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: This was the passage of the, uh, I'm trying to, or FDR signed it here, the Colen Act.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was the Colen Harrison Act, and it actually, it's not even the passing of it.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the day that it went into effect.
[SPEAKER_03]: April 7th, 1933.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the day that, well, technically, it's April 6th, and April 7th.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, that this is this is why they called this new bears Eve because the the act there went into effect on April 7 which yay wonderful.
[SPEAKER_03]: So Colin Harrison act to effect that night April 6 people started going back to bars basically and and so the 20s were kind of a sad dark dry time with prohibition.
[SPEAKER_03]: And from the beginning, people, Americans hated it.
[SPEAKER_03]: They hated it for a lot of reasons.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, if this sounds familiar to you, let me see, that the Temperance Activist promised that Prohibition would bring a reduction in crime, a reduction in violence, a reduction in poverty, a reduction in domestic abuse, it would increase productivity, improve health and create prosperity.
[SPEAKER_03]: increased crime, it increased, I mean, it was bad, it increased all if all of those if that that rhetoric sounds very familiar to you, it's because the anti-immigration racist policies sold to maga by Donald Trump and the right wing are exactly the same thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: They just use the same playbook all over again.
[SPEAKER_03]: The extremist right doesn't have a whole lot of new ideas, folks.
[SPEAKER_03]: They just find ways to con the morons and be cruel to people.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like decriminalized in cannabis.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you decriminalize all, schedule one drugs, guess what, crime goes down.
[SPEAKER_03]: They've tried it in believe in Seattle and it's it depends on the drug and it depends on the enforcement depends on the individual It's that's it depends on the details But in general things like marijuana which basically have a similar effect as to you know as beer does
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, if it's decriminalized and it's the whole thing of sex work, as we've said, we got people listening to show who are sex workers and that's fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: We don't judge.
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I mean, you know, it's beautiful.
[SPEAKER_03]: For those of like, Christy knows, husband.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you're not a sex worker, but whatever.
[SPEAKER_03]: Whatever, dude, just your boo, we get it.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: But what?
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just saying anyway.
[SPEAKER_03]: But the fact of the matter is,
[SPEAKER_03]: when you decriminalize sex work and you regulate it and you tax it then it's a lot safer for everybody and for exactly so and it's the same thing and that was exactly the problem with prohibition
[SPEAKER_03]: we're just going to make it illegal and then of course the black market six four good.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hi the mob come on.
[SPEAKER_03]: Where do you think all of that mob stuff came from?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's details are all there.
[SPEAKER_03]: You guys should check it out.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's in the drink of the day-to-day in the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_03]: We even gave you some bonus history about rare people.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, wow.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love what you did with that.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was great.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, look, the ancient Babylonians had a good idea and they just passed it on and we're glad they did.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because beer is definitely something that everybody, well, it's the cause of and solution to all of life's problems.
[SPEAKER_03]: The quote Homer, as a former country DJ, I can affirm that.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a quote Homer, and I don't mean, you know, the Greek Homer, I mean Homer Simpson.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, although he was also wise in some ways.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_06]: When he got the crayon out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Jody, how do we make today's drink the day?
[SPEAKER_03]: A Radler Paloma cocktail.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, you need a pre-chilled Collins glass.
[SPEAKER_06]: Shaker ice.
[SPEAKER_06]: Two ounces of quality tequila.
[SPEAKER_06]: Preferably a bronchoro white, you know, light-colored tequila.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Three-quarters of an ounce of grapefruit juice freshly squeezed.
[SPEAKER_06]: A half ounce of lime juice freshly squeezed.
[SPEAKER_06]: And half ounce of simple syrup, which is sugar and water, one to one, if you want to make it yourself.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is important.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, this is important.
[SPEAKER_06]: Radler beer because it's a Radler Paloma cocktail.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's an Austrian, it's not a high, because you've already got booze in here.
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's not a high alcohol content.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's two to two and a half, two and a quarter percent beer, alcohol by volume.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's fruity.
[SPEAKER_06]: So it'll taste really good with the grapefruit juice and the tequila and everything.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because Stigl Radler beer, it's a German thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: My brother knows about this.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's basically, it's beer mixed with grapefruit soda.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, like half of these and has an orange kind of flavor to it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, but this is literally they basically mix beer with great fruit soda.
[SPEAKER_03]: So if you if you can't get single Radler beer and we have a link to it there.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can take any light crisp pilsner, a lot of wheat beer, eight ounces of that, and eight ounces of squirt or any great fruit soda, whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I know I know y'all in the Midwest and high vee y'all got that, they got it here, uh, terrorist theater and you got it vans is whatever is fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: So nobody.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then if your garnish is a great fruit twist, so you add all your ingredients except for the beer.
[SPEAKER_06]: And to the shaker with ice and shake it until it's chilled, you strain it into your Collins glass over ice, and then you top it with the beer.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then you express the oil of the twist over the top and spear the twist as a garnish.
[SPEAKER_03]: It sounds very refreshing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Especially with the beer.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, especially because you've already got alcohol in there.
[SPEAKER_03]: You tilt the glass slightly.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you pour the beer to match.
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's nice smooth or otherwise you can get too much foam and then stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: yeah I mean beer be careful you know you know how this kids yeah you don't want to do for me just saying it's not so good if anybody's gone to college you know how to or high school you know how to out of a tap you know how to do it right now not that we are advocating we're not at all but you know we know children exactly so happy new beers eve to those who celebrate and if you missed any part of the drink of the day you guys know what to do go subscribe at the politics bar dot com
[SPEAKER_03]: So obviously, time for a little entertainment and congratulations again to the UCLA women who won their first national championship kicked ass.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure Carol's very happy.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not a bro in, but I got into the UC system.
[SPEAKER_06]: I did not get into the UCLA.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it was my third choice anyway.
[SPEAKER_03]: Look, not every school has every program that you want to, to, to, to, to study.
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's just to make sense.
[SPEAKER_06]: My school is featured in a new HBO show.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, called the rooster.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no way.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's in your, your school's a backdrop for the rooster.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, very cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: I did not know that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: My school posted pictures of like Steven, Steven walking into something.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm like, oh, that's, that's the, okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's, okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's there.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and then they have the picture of him walking in and then they super imposed it without him and it's like Oh, no, I know I know they are and then they changed the name of the name of the school I got over that is so if you guys want to see the school and the college you're joking Went to watch it's in the first episode for sure at least all the exteriors I don't know about the interiors, but definitely the exteriors

[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's rude.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that's doing her wrong, but she's a great player.
[SPEAKER_03]: So she'll play and she'll kick some ass.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's good.
[SPEAKER_03]: Dodgers and Yankees off to impressive starts.
[SPEAKER_03]: Showy Otani and his gang we're out here in DC this weekend and your Dodgers swept my Nats all three.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's fine.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's fine, whatever.
[SPEAKER_03]: At the box office, the new Super Mario Galaxy movie, blowing the credits to everybody else away.
[SPEAKER_03]: 372.5 million for a global box office haul.
[SPEAKER_03]: Going very, very well.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's me, Mario.
[SPEAKER_03]: I come all of the money.
[SPEAKER_06]: One of the ads I saw was one of the little guys with the little mushroom head going.
[SPEAKER_06]: So the dragon just comes in and now he's part of the gang.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, I love that.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it's funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's it's looked at I if you like the Mario stuff and I always liked it too when they they brought in the the anti hero brothers Wario and Waluigi see it's funny because I started with Donkey Kong so Mario it's part of Donkey Kong and then he became his own video game Right, right.
[SPEAKER_03]: I got I got I went through all of that, but I you know, especially when it was was it smash brothers when they brought in
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know why I can do that by just so any more serious notes Savannah got three did return to the day show over the first time since her mom just appeared at 65 days ago they are still searching for that so I feel so bad for that family I guess she's got to be yeah I'm sure they're gonna find out some at some point but damn man that's just wow
[SPEAKER_03]: CNN, by the way, is going to host a gubernatorial debate in your state of California and Trump endorsed the former Fox host that's in the race.
[SPEAKER_06]: So hopefully that will screw him up.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this is how I want to get it together to go make sure to not two Republicans at the top.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, we need to we need to figure this out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Some good news that they did figure out the Hollywood studios and the writers you didn't have reached a tentative agreement.
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's got to go to for a vote, but hopefully it'll it'll pass.
[SPEAKER_03]: knock on wood, bonk, bonk.
[SPEAKER_03]: AP, by the way, a sad thing is offering buyouts.
[SPEAKER_03]: They are starting to pivot away from newspaper journalism to more online journals, which is fine, but it's just to somebody who kind of, you know, I have my journal as a McGregor.
[SPEAKER_03]: You have a broadcaster as a McGregor.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, don't they require journalists, even if you're doing it online?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you still have to know a lot of the same things, but there's just a certain thing about ink stained wretches, so.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I agree.
[SPEAKER_03]: Our censorship warnings, by the way, satellite company and halted distribution of images that helped the press cover the Iran War, citing a Trump administration request, which is not how it's supposed to work.
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the Holocaust Museum here in DC finally admitted to changing content after Trump returned to office.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not how you do things, folks.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is not helping.
[SPEAKER_06]: And this is a Holocaust Museum showing how people were chicken.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: You would think of all places at the Holocaust Museum would know not to comply in advance.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: You would think.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's very disappointing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Look, we got things a little bit less disappointing.

[SPEAKER_03]: Obviously We mentioned the budget last hour.
[SPEAKER_03]: So
[SPEAKER_03]: In the second round of the news on tap, Trump has released a new budget, and it's pretty much straight from hell.
[SPEAKER_03]: He wants a record breaking $1.5 trillion for military spending.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a 40% increase, and we already spend more than what is the next 12, 15 nations combined.
[SPEAKER_03]: thing is he is going after programs that the things that he considers woke and actually eating people yeah you know where that stuff comes from it doesn't necessarily come from
[SPEAKER_03]: The Russ Vot over at OMB, who is a jerk and who should ever again be allowed to.
[SPEAKER_06]: Stephen Miller, too.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I could care a lie in all the other monsters and rats that are in this regime.
[SPEAKER_03]: They want to cut, for example, in non-defense spending.
[SPEAKER_03]: They want a 10% cut.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, people are like, oh, well, you know, maybe they're gonna, they, they wouldn't cut, you know, like, business stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you would be wrong if you think that.
[SPEAKER_03]: They want to cut 10% they want to completely eliminate the Commerce Department's minority business development agents.
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course, there's 47 million right there.
[SPEAKER_03]: And of course, if you think about it, the minority business development agency helps minority businesses.
[SPEAKER_06]: Which includes white women, y'all.
[SPEAKER_03]: mm-hmm sorry that's part of it to also they've targeted the international trade administration for a hundred and fifty million dollar cuts Yeah, they also want to They want to cut virtually everything that is if it's if it's for anybody except for straight white rich males No education They want to cut the Smithsonian for God's sake
[SPEAKER_03]: that kidding.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's basically out of project 2025, the only thing, according to them, the taxes should pay for is the military.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, and, and, and not only military, also, uh, they should be able to have Donnie should basically have a giant slush fund to turn the White House into a casino really anything you want.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, we have another piece that's in the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_03]: Donald Trump wants to increase the budget for White House upkeep and renovations.
[SPEAKER_03]: And remember, he has stopped by a federal judge.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: They can't even finish the things that they were doing.
[UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, they're appealing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't know what I'm feeling.
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_03]: But they want to increase from 39 million to 377 million.
[SPEAKER_06]: For things that are not necessary.
[SPEAKER_03]: Meanwhile, they want to cut science programs because who needs that, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, we have astronauts right now.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think we need science.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, you know, the thing is, is he's like, ah, they can get back on their own.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if you know who Bobby Cogan is.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's currently a senior director of federal budget policy at American Progress.
[SPEAKER_03]: He used to be, I believe, at OMB under Biden.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's done a lot.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's very brilliant when it comes to economics.
[SPEAKER_03]: Bobby has a great piece that's in MS now and we included it in today's news on tap where he talks about Trump's new budget proposal is historic in the worst ways possible domestic funding basically would have a drastic drastic decrease unless of course you're talking about the military.
[SPEAKER_03]: this is insane.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And look, we understand that a budget is just, it's, yeah, it's a blueprint.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a witch, it's a wish list by the president of what they want to see.
[SPEAKER_06]: It tells you what the president's morality is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, if that's the case, then wouldn't it be empty?
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, military is fine for him.
[SPEAKER_06]: He likes to see things get blueed up.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, he likes to see the boom boom.
[SPEAKER_06]: In his diaper and in other places.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just, wow, if you guys have been, this is the reason why.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's jump down into the election land section in the fourth round today.
[SPEAKER_03]: There are a bunch of elections tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_03]: Wisconsin, you've got six contested circuit court races, a Supreme Court race, and a bunch of local elections.
[SPEAKER_03]: Georgia, you folks have four special election runoffs on Tuesday, including that one to replace Marjorie Taylor Green's seat.
[SPEAKER_03]: No joking on that one, y'all.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sean Harris, Democrat running, he has a chance.
[SPEAKER_03]: but he has a chance only if you vote for him.
[SPEAKER_03]: So by God, if you're in Georgia, y'all, you should be voted that we have pieces on all of those and we have a great piece from Boltzmag.
[SPEAKER_03]: The 40 elections to watch this April and these are just the ones that the folks over at Boltzmag say you're probably going to hit the headlines.

[SPEAKER_03]: They are off their rocker.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't understand this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's the thing, if you've helped for Democrats.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know some of those Democrats are not 100% you got you're going to say vote blue no matter who got to think of the state where you're voting you got I mean you got to think of the locality you got to think of where it is right you know your neighbor johnny's right you know your neighborhood better than the rest of us yeah
[SPEAKER_03]: But at the same time, I can almost guarantee you that any Democrat who is running right now is going to be better than any Republican who is running right now in pretty much any corner of the country.
[SPEAKER_03]: There are a few small exceptions, but for the most part, if you're like, God, the war and the, okay, I've just, we just got stopped.

[SPEAKER_05]: You know, I kind of get frustrated sometimes with the reporters in those press briefings, but today was the first time I actually felt sorry for them because it now it feels like what's the what's the point of having these press briefings?
[SPEAKER_05]: He's going to stand there and tell easily debunked
[SPEAKER_03]: repeatedly debunk lies like he made the claim that he warned everybody in his book a year before the 9-Eleven happened that oh he keeps saying we've been negotiating with them for 47 years um do now go back 70 some years when we overthrew their democratically elected government and started this whole problem in the first place so yeah we've been negotiating with them because of the problem that we caused for them oops

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, no, no, I haven't seen that yet.

[SPEAKER_05]: There's just two, one is that the bad guys.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have, oh yeah, those are, those are pretty good.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's okay, Super Galski did really well this weekend.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's pretty good for a non-summer blockbusters, mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's not always a weekend.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, that's right.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's good.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I just noticed I just noticed this yesterday like I am so out of it because someone else was talking about that movie with Ryan Gosling.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah, a project.
[SPEAKER_06]: Project Hail Mary.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hail Mary.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I keep saying, damn, I wanted to see that.
[SPEAKER_05]: And that's the kind of movie that before COVID, I would have already seen it.
[SPEAKER_05]: I would have seen it the first weekend that it was out.
[SPEAKER_05]: Because that's the, that was the kind of movie go where I was.
[SPEAKER_05]: And the COVID completely,
[SPEAKER_05]: destroyed that for me, just because, you know, it made us all take a pause, like, okay, we're going to go to the movies.
[SPEAKER_05]: So we're going to risk, you know, getting a mouthful of someone else's COVID germs, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: So that made us wait, like, okay, I can wait until that movie comes on TV.
[SPEAKER_06]: I didn't wait for the last superman last year.
[SPEAKER_06]: I did go see Superman.
[SPEAKER_05]: I went to see Superman in the theater too.
[SPEAKER_05]: I did too.
[SPEAKER_05]: So the black question is, I'm 100% going to see.
[SPEAKER_05]: I didn't count that Ryan Gosling movie as a black buzzer.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's supposed to be very good.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, I can't wait for super girl that looks so good.
[SPEAKER_03]: Definitely there spinole although I have said I am sorry, but they they damn well James gun damn well Better had not kill crypto or we all have some words I know I'm not going to be a guardian and you know find his house and be like look dude We got like we gonna have some words boy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, I did see that in the trail All right, so I'm saying no, you know, I'm I'm very John Wick about that I'm sorry do not hurt the dog.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what I'm saying.
[SPEAKER_03]: They can't do that.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it's crypto
[SPEAKER_03]: You wouldn't think they couldn't do that, but any more, I don't.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just as just as you don't, it's a great team.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a great team.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a great team.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, I had directed it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now that, then I've been served.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, I'll give you that one.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll give you that one.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just look, look, there are so many great shows where they build up a character or a great movie, and you're like, oh, that's nothing, whatever.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then they're like, oh, because I'm like, oh, well, that'll get people talking about it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, that's not how you do this thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's that, you know?
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, this is not a peep show.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're not gonna hold.
[SPEAKER_03]: But all.
[SPEAKER_05]: Excellent.
[SPEAKER_03]: Christy, no, I'm so sorry.
[SPEAKER_05]: Game of Thrones.
[SPEAKER_05]: Game of Thrones is one of those shows where, like, in the very first, I think it was the first episode, was it the thing with Ned Stark?
[SPEAKER_05]: Was that the first episode?
[SPEAKER_05]: It was early.
[SPEAKER_05]: I can't remember the first episode, but it's like six or seven years after that show stopped running, so I don't have to be coy about it, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: Right, it's exactly like, so they killed Ned Stark, like, early on in the show, and then
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh my goodness, like this is a show what they did they did that throughout the red wedding.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hello, I mean, you know, did you ever say that by the time the red wedding rolled around you were already prepped for like, oh my god, anybody can die.
[SPEAKER_05]: And that was what made it so buzzworthy right beginning.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, well, did you ever see this TV series 24?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah, same kind of very end of the first season.
[SPEAKER_06]: They kill his wife off, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Which I'm like, that's one of the reasons why I don't.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I understand when people have issues trusting Donald Trump because A, I don't trust him anyway, because you know, he's even if I could throw him, he's too fat.
[SPEAKER_03]: And too stank for Mary, whatever it is.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, everyone is near him this room.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, but I just, you know,
[SPEAKER_03]: I really wish that we had more in our entertainment where there are some people who say, you know, well, you know, there's a broad variety, but I would like our heroes to be heroes instead of everybody trying to be anti-heroes.
[SPEAKER_03]: Batman is the exception to the rule that he's the anti-hero and he's the exception to the rule.
[SPEAKER_03]: Everybody can't be the exception to the rule.
[SPEAKER_03]: because if everybody is the exception of the rule, then they're on the rules.
[SPEAKER_05]: John Wick went crazy on guys because the killed his dog.
[SPEAKER_05]: They killed his puppy, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: But I think I think it was his wife.
[SPEAKER_05]: So his wife is dearly departed wife.
[SPEAKER_05]: It left him that puppy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: It was double like, how are you?
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's, and I think most people are empathetic with that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just, you know, it's the weight of some of the bad decisions.
[SPEAKER_03]: And and I'll get back to some of the news.
[SPEAKER_03]: The fact of the matter is this Donald Trump is a complete idiot with the way he's he's doing this around war thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: That particular quote from this weekend that social media post.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my god, um, I can you I just I know everybody's been saying this, but can you imagine if Barack Obama had said that.
[SPEAKER_05]: right.
[SPEAKER_05]: He would never especially praise a law.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my god, that's right.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're living them nuts.
[SPEAKER_03]: Or Joe Biden.
[SPEAKER_03]: When I said it was telling Joe the last hour, BDD.
[SPEAKER_05]: That actually made that made me laugh.
[SPEAKER_05]: Pray praise be to a law.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, he did that on purpose thinking that it was thinking that it would it would piss them off even more because it's praise be to a law on Easter and they're like, you know, the Trump and the other maggots are like, isn't that funny?
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, oh, oh,
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's the thing, Dave Roady was the one who I saw earlier on MS now today.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I saw, I still can't remember who was talking to Tapper earlier over at CNN.
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw some of the weekend, I can't remember who was talking to Ali Velci, any of your foreign policy experts who basically know the Middle East have said.
[SPEAKER_03]: that Iran's leaders see Donald Trump cursing and swearing and randomly praising a law and thinking he's making them mad, they're like no dude.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, that is a sign that you are unhinged and that you have weak, that you got no game, boy, that you got nothing, that we got you under a box and you are sweating it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you're right, because this is, this is the first major thing, I heard somebody say this, and I thought about it, and I'm like, and I'll say it, this may be the first major incident of Donald Trump's life, and he's almost 80 years of life, where he's never been able to BS, where he can't BS or lie his way out of it.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is the first time I've been a little a little impressed.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not like rooting for Iran or anything, but I just kind of have just kind of been like, you know, a low key impressed by how they've
[SPEAKER_05]: how they dealt with him on social media, for instance.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're just pumping out memes and video memes.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're very good at it.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're basically just ridiculing him.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm missing the crap out of him.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, kind of hilarious.
[SPEAKER_05]: Obviously, I don't condone.
[SPEAKER_05]: that regime.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, of course not.
[SPEAKER_05]: Can don't our own regime, but it seems like they were less of an imminent threat before he decided to come and mess with them.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, he actually said that.
[SPEAKER_03]: day.
[SPEAKER_03]: God, I wish I wish I got that quote.
[SPEAKER_03]: I missed it.
[SPEAKER_03]: He actually said today.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me look at my notes here.
[SPEAKER_03]: He said he claims there is still a working partner with Iran that they're still working for peace.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he admitted that Iran is now stronger than they were before.
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you stupid?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well here did you this this is when we played earlier I'm going to let me play this I've got this already on the DVR this was Dasha Burns who's now a political asked in this here.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me let me roll this for you
[SPEAKER_01]: You said that very little is off limits in Iran as far as the target, including power plants, bridges you've mentioned those.
[SPEAKER_04]: Very little is off limits.
[SPEAKER_01]: Are there certain kinds of civilian targets though, I'm thinking, I don't want to check you though.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, no wait.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now I'm going to play the rest of it.
[SPEAKER_03]: He just says, I don't want to tell you that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: So she's asking, you know, are there is there anything off limits?
[SPEAKER_03]: And he says, I don't want to tell you that.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then he says, I don't want to check you.
[SPEAKER_04]: We have a plan
[SPEAKER_04]: Where every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o'clock tomorrow night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding, and never to be used again.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, this first off he said he was going to say anything.
[SPEAKER_06]: And secondly, not only does he say he's going to do stuff, he says exactly what he's going to do, which means Iran now knows what the plan is, so they can prepare for a said plan.
[SPEAKER_02]: Show to you, sir.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's worse than Haraldo with the map on the desert.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's, it is the typical bad guy from the comics.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to tell you what I'm going to do.
[SPEAKER_03]: But here's what I'm going to do.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you have sharks with freaking laser beams?
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, right.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you're going.
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you, are you, he's doubted.
[SPEAKER_03]: So if you're wondering why the the Iranian regime is getting over on him so easily, because they're looking at him going Dude, do any of you people in the Western is anybody seeing this?
[SPEAKER_03]: How is that?
[SPEAKER_03]: Is anybody seeing this guy?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, is anybody seeing what the hell?
[SPEAKER_06]: Look, I can get this.
[SPEAKER_06]: I can get a gun.
[SPEAKER_06]: I can bring it here.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, no, no, no, scotch.
[SPEAKER_06]: We will not be doing that.
[SPEAKER_03]: 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, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SPEAKER_03]: the people in our honor great their government sucks right yeah now admittedly they could say the exact same thing about us and they have concur yes and and congratulations people of Iran your first bell we agree with you the people here are good the government here at least the federal one sucks so you are correct people but look this guy saying this I don't
[SPEAKER_05]: insane.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the fact that there are so many people that just keep following him.
[SPEAKER_06]: And prepping, prepping him up and saying he's fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, he's not.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, and actually the numbers prove he's not if you go down to the polls and politics section in the fourth round of the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_03]: G. Eliot Morris over at strengthen numbers did a great one this weekend here.
[SPEAKER_03]: Why Democrats are suddenly winged back to left and the double haters?
[SPEAKER_03]: The people who say, well, hey, they're Republicans, but I'll say the Democrats.
[SPEAKER_03]: One of the biggest reasons why right off the bat, he said the anti-Trump sentiment.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not necessarily a pro-democratic enthusiasm, but anti-Trump sentiment is uniting Democrats, and it's also really uniting pretty much everybody else.
[SPEAKER_03]: The planet.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, yeah, because everybody's like, look.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't necessarily like Democrats, this or that, or they have their own individual complaints.
[SPEAKER_03]: But oh my god, there's so much better.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, it says here, aggregate democratic views have increased because very liberal Americans have become sharply more favorable toward congressional Democrats since January.
[SPEAKER_03]: This group evaluated the party's members of Congress favorably by a net 28 points margin.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's up from a negative 13 points deficit in January.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a 41 point shift in just two months.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's huge.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's the thing I don't understand is that if there were ever a time you were going to speak out against Trump as a Republican.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now would be the time.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now would be the time I would think fewer people would blame you because you know, you got the midchamps coming.
[SPEAKER_05]: And just like in a blink of an eye, it's November.
[SPEAKER_05]: And here he is dragging your entire party down.
[SPEAKER_05]: And he has never been more unpopular.
[SPEAKER_05]: He has never been weaker.
[SPEAKER_05]: He has never been more difficult to defend than he is right now.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you're going to continue to sit on your hands and keep your mouths shut.
[SPEAKER_05]: That is insane.
[SPEAKER_06]: Even match three toes is wondering what's going on.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's, look, this is, this is the split that we talked about.
[SPEAKER_03]: We've been talking about it for a while and I'm glad to see that the jelly morsk is a little bit more, too.
[SPEAKER_03]: But between Maga and America first and about a lot of these elections that have happened recently.
[SPEAKER_03]: There are a bunch of elections that we've gotten in the election land section.
[SPEAKER_03]: We talked to you guys about it earlier, but BDD should check it out, too, Boltzmag has a great piece.
[SPEAKER_03]: The 40 elections for this month, but there are a bunch tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_03]: Some in Georgia.
[SPEAKER_03]: Some in Wisconsin.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's very simple, right now, the Republican Party, if you are a Republican and you want to get political power, they think their mode is still, we have to kiss up and we have to say that we'll do whatever Donald Trump wants.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I can guarantee you, if Donald Trump passed away tonight, tomorrow morning they would turn around and say, we don't know him, we don't know nothing about him.
[SPEAKER_03]: They are going to be so screwed when he goes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Some will immediately some others will wait and appropriate, you know, 12 hours maybe.
[SPEAKER_03]: But the fact of the matter is Democrats, you have no reason to be hiding.
[SPEAKER_03]: You just need to get out there and say, look, I have same plans.
[SPEAKER_03]: I will find a way through with some of the other people and let's get stuff done for the American people want.
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's a BDD's like, I agree, but I'm dancing.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, he loves music.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know how it does.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: Look.
[SPEAKER_03]: BDD and Jody are dancing.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can be dancing too.
[SPEAKER_03]: We got at least one more round here on a Monday night.
[SPEAKER_03]: Look, we've been talking about the news, and we've been laughing at having fun, and we're dancing now.
[SPEAKER_03]: So look, you can do the same thing, or you're not hearing your favorite live radio show, or you can subscribe on the podcast if you don't know how.
[SPEAKER_03]: Stick around.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll tell you coming up.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's more with BDD on a Monday night.
[SPEAKER_07]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is Monday night.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's go on your Monday night.
[SPEAKER_03]: Your politics bar.
[SPEAKER_03]: You got to Jody Hamilton.
[SPEAKER_03]: You got me, Sean Smith Fears.
[SPEAKER_03]: I only have Brooklyn that I deviant hanging out with us with his eat me shirt on.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, really, he does say eat me.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's got a, you know, nice little Marilyn crap there.
[SPEAKER_03]: main crab, I don't know, wherever you're from, Maryland, Maine, California, whatever.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you guys don't have a regular terrestrial radio station, you guys should probably listen to us on your favorite podcast player.
[SPEAKER_03]: But if you go to the politicsbar.com, look, you pay a six bucks a month.
[SPEAKER_03]: You get that podcast with no ads, which is really nice.
[SPEAKER_03]: You've got a zip through it, a twice speed if you want.
[SPEAKER_03]: You also happen to get the drink of day with the recipe that way.
[SPEAKER_03]: So that way you can look kind of cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then of course you also get the news on tap which we slide in your mailbox so that way you can just bust through the headlines if you want to or you can click in and read the stories and you know a little bit more and you know what better than watching you know two or three hours of cable news tell you that one yeah check it all out it's there the politics bar all right Brooklyn that defines Jody you guys we were talking about obviously the the idiocy of Donald Trump I'm trying to remember the exact because there's so many ways that we could go with that as far as that goes
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, there is a whole section that we haven't even hit yet in the news on tap today in the rights of many failing wars.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, the immigration war section.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, there's newly obtained video from that shooting.
[SPEAKER_03]: Remember the, uh, immigrant who got shot.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right, who didn't die, but he got shot and they, they claimed he was doing something bad, correct?
[SPEAKER_03]: New York Times is a piece exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we happen to have that the video obviously disproves the official license.
[SPEAKER_06]: Of course, shocker.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: uh... got a story that uh... you and i will had you about the ice agents detaining the newlywed spouse of a soldier who's training to deploy the middle east to Donald's Iran war and she's been here since she was just barely two years she wasn't even quite two years old yet yeah she's a definite danger well you know she she might you know make a bad enchilater or something just i'm sorry that it's just stupid
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, look, we've also got other stores there too, in the fact that ice is detained 6200 plus kids now in Trump's second regime, that is up 10 times since Biden left office.
[SPEAKER_03]: And all those kids, they might be out in the street chasing down the ice cream man asking for icey this summer.
[SPEAKER_03]: We can't have that now, can we?
[SPEAKER_05]: Meanwhile, I saw something where they were saying that Stephen Miller is still pursuing the immigration deportation goals.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're just doing it more.
[SPEAKER_05]: more quietly now I guess they're going to attempt to shoot less or less the United States citizens the least in broad daylight right in their attempts to deport the least criminal and the least violent immigrants among us this is it's interesting the New York Times did that piece I was conflicted about it but we included that in today's news on tap.
[SPEAKER_03]: But it does confirm what some of the folks have been Minneapolis and the folks in Chicago, especially DC, even some folks around LA have said that, you know, it's not that they're not the ice monsters have not completely gone away.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, they're still here.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're just being a lot more careful about what they're doing.
[SPEAKER_03]: which we all kind of knew that was how that was going to be that is it's it's none of this is going to get cleaned up the first the first points of it being clean up we're going to be when democrats take back the house and the senate yes and we're getting the senate we're going to get the senate
[SPEAKER_03]: One of the things that it needs to be is when you go to the polls and when you tell people out of the polls, I'm very serious about the fact of, I really think you should vote on a credit all the way, regardless of what it is right now, just because if nothing else, it will send a gigantic message to Donald Trump and these monsters that what they're doing is inexplicable and inexceptible to the majority of Americans.
[SPEAKER_03]: If they suddenly are like, you know what, man, we can't even win the races we're trying to steal.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're like, well, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because overwhelmingly Americans don't agree with what you want.
[SPEAKER_03]: They don't agree with, you know, pick up the brown people and send them away.
[SPEAKER_03]: Pick up the black people and send them away.
[SPEAKER_03]: although unfortunately we still have some idiots like at the courts in the war in the court section today the supreme court has paved way for Steve Manans contempt of Congress case was about to get which that just stinks also the case does well said as he that's absolutely yeah uh... there is some good things though uh... federal judges blocked the trumpers seems pushed to collect uh... race data oncology stations and
[SPEAKER_03]: and Donald Trump's latest east wing court appeal is I want to build my broom thing appears to have been partly written by himself yeah did you read some of it that brief yeah I've got you have got the link that you sent me in here oh my god this is perlatives are like yeah that's him yeah you don't put extra makes that's not how a brief is written yes he's be the
[SPEAKER_03]: when you said these superlatives don't tell me that they're oh yeah oh it's the best in the biggest in the the anybody's ever seen all of those things yeah all of those in a legal brief one of the one of the quotes from it opening opening in in one of the opening pages of the court filing quote time is of the essence exclamation point no it isn't
[SPEAKER_05]: Right, so this is essentially just letting him do like when when when you go to like look at a new car and the kids like daddy I want to drive and you like let them sit on your lap and yeah
[SPEAKER_05]: do this steering wheel, but the car is not even on.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're basically letting him do that, although the car is on.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: In some ways, it's almost more like my wife who does furniture sales, I think I've mentioned this before.
[SPEAKER_03]: She works for a different company now, which is fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then the company she works for has a little bit more than the people who the clientele have a little bit more money.
[SPEAKER_03]: So they don't generally come in the same way the place she used to.
[SPEAKER_03]: But the place she used to was a little bit more middle class.
[SPEAKER_03]: And some of these people.
[SPEAKER_03]: They would let their kids come in.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're jumping and tramping all over brand new furniture.
[SPEAKER_03]: No joke.
[SPEAKER_03]: They said I'm not brought their dogs into.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then the thing that absolutely floored her sometimes was you get this three year old and they're like, so would you like this for your bedroom furniture and the kid goes, no, and I don't like the living room furniture either.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, and the three year old make $1.00 decisions about because the parents, they want to be their kids friend.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, no.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, no, be a parent for God's sake.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, you can you can become friends with them once they're, you know, over 25 and they can get insurance and rent a hotel room so that they don't have to stay with you when they come visit.
[SPEAKER_03]: I But look this is I'm sitting there going are you freaking kidding me and that is basically what their dog And says I want to write the brief okay It's gonna get ready, but okay I know the brief has been I believe the brief has been submitted, but the judge is gonna go are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's what I'm saying when they were writing the brief he said I want I want to input I want to put stuff into it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so they handle him is crayon and there you go
[SPEAKER_05]: I just remembered when I told you what I was trying to, uh, yeah, thank you, the break out, what were you saying?
[SPEAKER_05]: So, um, at some point this weekend, there were a bunch of people who were pondering,
[SPEAKER_05]: what the heck happened with Donald Trump was he still alive.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, the whole Walter Reed thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there was some BS garbage.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know where that came.
[SPEAKER_06]: They stopped the airspace over Walter Reed.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's why everybody was concerned that he might have been in the hospital.
[SPEAKER_05]: But there was also the thing that he hadn't been seeing in seven, seven, 72 hours.
[SPEAKER_05]: So anyway, that caused me to kind of like, you know,
[SPEAKER_05]: like try to future cast and see what would happen and let's say let's say Trump was incapacitated and that necessitates J.D.
[SPEAKER_05]: Vance stepping into 25th Amendment types.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well he's always waited turkey right now.
[SPEAKER_05]: So the reason the reason I'm bringing this up no hunger he's always going to hungry.
[SPEAKER_05]: Before the previous break you had mentioned that
[SPEAKER_05]: If something had happened to Trump, they would everybody would try to disavow to disavow him.
[SPEAKER_05]: However, if J.D.
[SPEAKER_05]: Vance is stepping into the breach, so to speak, I,
[SPEAKER_05]: think he would attempt to wrap himself in all things that are Trump the way some guys some people try to wrap themselves with the flag because Trump still has the only I don't know if if Riz is the right it is he has that people seem to think he does some people
[SPEAKER_05]: But J.D.
[SPEAKER_05]: Vance doesn't have that.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's absent that right and he 100% 100 he probably this probably nobody on the planet who wishes that that that clot would find its way
[SPEAKER_05]: than James, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: There's nobody because that would put him in the cat bird seat, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: So even more even more, it would mean that Vance no longer had to defend all of the crazy Trump stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: True.
[SPEAKER_03]: But here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: He can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't,
[SPEAKER_05]: completely embracing Donald Trump and his, and, and, and it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not going to help us.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not going to help us.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not going to help us.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not going to help us.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not going to help us
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: He has to go with anything Donald does even if he's against it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And if he goes against it, that's a problem.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, there's a whole bag of problem.
[SPEAKER_03]: Even if an even if Trump is dead, there'll be those people who are still absolute, Maga devotees and if Vance tries to say, well, I'm going to try to take things in a different way, then they will smack the crap out of him because they say, you're disgracing Donald's legacy and
[SPEAKER_03]: He is so screwed, and for all the people who said, well, Kamala should have just told Joe to pound sand, even though she was still the active vice president, and he was still on both her friend and her boss, not realizing that she couldn't do that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course not.
[SPEAKER_03]: But vances in a similar position, but also the fact that Margaret is a cult.
[SPEAKER_03]: And cults by definition focus only on one person in this case, it's Donald.
[SPEAKER_03]: The cult of Maga will not bow to JD Vads.
[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't have there is nobody who has and in fact one of the other things that Sherry Jakobis was saying was the fact that there are more groups than we think.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not just your Republicans like Michael Steele.
[SPEAKER_03]: who are, you know, rhinosis, they say Republicans in the name only, you're like, you're a Democrat.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Honorary centrist Democrat is what he has.
[SPEAKER_03]: And, and the magas and the America firsters who are almost like the magas except they're mad about war and the Epstein file.
[SPEAKER_10]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: She was saying there's a bunch of those.
[SPEAKER_03]: We don't even know all the characters that are going to be coming out.
[SPEAKER_03]: But there are probably six or seven different groups that are under the Republican umbrella right now.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's a next one.
[SPEAKER_06]: Tase faction.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's a Ben Shapiro faction.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's the corporate faction that would just like all this stuff to go away and calm down and focus on making business so that we can make more money.
[SPEAKER_03]: Tucker Carlson, there's a whole bunch of these factions going on and when he dies, whenever that is, whenever his arteries grip him, that's going to be their problem is they will factionalize and fractionize and fight each other to the death for whatever pieces of power we see.
[SPEAKER_03]: Democrats, and you know, independent align Democrats need to be smart and make sure that they are prepared for that because when the time comes,
[SPEAKER_03]: They're going to go and ape crap on their side, so we need to be organized on our side.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, we'll be a little drunk at first, and then we'll organize.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Johnny is correct or not?
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, but we could talk about that more if you got, if you got some time beating him, I'm not, you know, just accepting or do you have some time?
[SPEAKER_03]: I got the time, buddy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mr. Machine Brooklyn Dad Define hanging out with us in the after hours then look tomorrow night Uh, who are we gonna not hear?
