[SPEAKER_12]: We'll we'll we'll try to keep abreast of some of this.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's been a little bit odd I know for you today My arrest.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm arresting
[SPEAKER_12]: Wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_12]: I didn't know Kristi Noom's husband was here.
[SPEAKER_02]: My nipples are the same way by the way.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_10]: We don't know.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's TMI.
[SPEAKER_10]: Love you, girl.
[SPEAKER_02]: They point in the right direction.
[SPEAKER_10]: Lonnie is Jody telling the truth.
[SPEAKER_10]: The politics bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, I see.
[SPEAKER_12]: He just says he just says, you know,
[SPEAKER_12]: We laughed because otherwise you'd be pulling your hair today's I mean literally when people woke up one of the reasons that we put if you guys missed it it is in the collage the news collage at the top of the news on tap today literally he posted on his truth truth truth essential truth toilet whatever you want to call it this morning quote a whole civilization will die tonight never to be brought back again period I don't want that to happen
[SPEAKER_12]: God, he is such an, he's a drama queen.
[SPEAKER_12]: He's, he's mentally insane.
[SPEAKER_12]: He's, oh my God.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know, Bob Cesco still believes he's manipulating the stock market because certain people are investing right now to short or to do stuff waiting until tonight.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, it's entirely possible that that's part of it, but at this point, just the insanity.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's that is is giving Donald Trump, I think, far too much credit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, he's smart when it comes to money.
[SPEAKER_02]: He knows how to make it.
[SPEAKER_12]: he does know he does know how to manipulate this kind of this kind of thing, especially with his social media posts, it's very much the same as I've told the Katie Turr analogy before when he said, you know, he was the whole Hillary Clinton rush are you listening thing?
[SPEAKER_12]: Huh?
[SPEAKER_12]: He is very emotional, very gut.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: I, you know, he's still that way.
[SPEAKER_10]: And whatever, and this is, oh yeah, if you want the most powerful man in the world, then I'm just going to put out my
[SPEAKER_12]: He's a five-year-old with a nuclear weapon.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's what he is.
[SPEAKER_12]: And Tom Shaffer, by the way, here in the bar already, hit Tom, he says he's going over the bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: He says the abuse guy, he said, look, like a quintessential supervillain, Donald Trump loves to monologue his plans, and then Tom included a gift of syndrome from the Incredibles movie, damn.
[SPEAKER_12]: But really, I mean, Trump is kind of like a supervillain, although he's more of a super-stupid villain.
[SPEAKER_12]: But he tries to be a mob boss.
[SPEAKER_12]: He tries to be all of those things.
[SPEAKER_12]: He fails a lot of time.
[SPEAKER_02]: But didn't they just start bombing Carg Island?
[SPEAKER_12]: They started a bomb carg Island this morning.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it is a US, it's not Iranians just making sure that they can't land or can't do anything.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, for everything that I've seen and heard that it was Iran and it was a US and Israel bombing Iran, but so it wasn't them damaging it for themselves.
[SPEAKER_12]: it would have been I mean, but not they putting people in the hills there to just get it people when they come down, but it's just one of the stories we didn't even include in today's news on tap because there was so much other news was when they took that F-15 down they did with a shoulder mannered rocket.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's not what I got to do is line of sight or even slightly off the edge of the horizon.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's and to take Carg Island, we need humans on the ground, which means it's not like it's just an island that's really pretty with no hills and you just have all the stuff and nobody can get up.
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, people there with drinks.
[SPEAKER_02]: right you know little umbrellas you know like we almost have today we're very much so like we have today but it's not like that it's like they have mountains on cargiling where people can have but yeah I mean yeah you're right do you know our service members there shouldn't be there in the first place
[SPEAKER_12]: No, I get it.
[SPEAKER_12]: I look, this is one of the reasons why we're glad to have Dr. Grammar comes far tonight because of the talk to me down.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, and he can talk a lot of us down.
[SPEAKER_12]: And he can talk to us about how, you know, both Donald Trump has got some serious mental health issues, but also the fact that we need to be focusing on our own mental health.
[SPEAKER_12]: Regardless of what he does and quite frankly, I mean, look,
[SPEAKER_12]: I sure as hell don't want there to be any type of a nuclear war because if there is pretty much you're into the bar and mine and pretty much most places in between is toast doesn't mean that if you're here in the bar from somewhere else that you know you wouldn't be fine maybe you would we don't know you know your middle Montana I don't know could be I well you just get cancer in 20 years
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, probably, but here's the thing, you can't live your life in fear and you can't live your life freaking out constantly about what this monster is going to do because there are so many other basic things.
[SPEAKER_12]: You've got the people that you love in your life.
[SPEAKER_12]: You've got the people that are in your local neighborhood there.
[SPEAKER_12]: You've got the people that you care about that are in other places.
[SPEAKER_12]: And then you got things like, so we haven't talked about it in a lot.
[SPEAKER_12]: We talked about it a little bit last night on the after hours, which if you guys missed you guys can download it for free at thepaltxbar.com.
[SPEAKER_12]: We talked about that with BDD, the Artemis mission.
[SPEAKER_12]: So last night they went around the dark side of the moon, they got some good pictures.
[SPEAKER_12]: We got another one of those pictures that's in the news on tap collage today.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the creator.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, and they're on the way back.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, and then they then they named the moon creator.
[SPEAKER_12]: after mission commander Reed Weissmann's wife who died just a few years ago from cancer.
[SPEAKER_12]: He's a single dad and when he got the call to go on this mission, I mean as a single parent he could have begged off.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: And his daughters were like, dad, go.
[SPEAKER_02]: She would want him to go.
[SPEAKER_12]: So go do just just talking about that kind of stuff kind of, you know, give you a little catch in your throne.
[SPEAKER_02]: It does.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like it's very sweet that he did that and it's very sweet with they named it after her and
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, look, this is, there are beautiful and wonderful.
[SPEAKER_12]: If you are a Michigan fan, congratulations.
[SPEAKER_12]: Michigan Wolverine's fans.
[SPEAKER_02]: We, we had the no one, we had to have her back on the show.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's what I was talking about.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, three to two or post-ed or whatever message to bar blast night about that, because you know, she was thrilled.
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course she was.
[SPEAKER_12]: They were, that was, that was a song.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just Joyce, oh, her, something now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because they bet each other all the time.
[SPEAKER_12]: I bet she does, I bet she does.
[SPEAKER_12]: Maybe maybe you know, a little dinner, a little lunch, something like that, that's entirely possible.
[SPEAKER_12]: Look, there are good groups of friends that are all together right now.
[SPEAKER_12]: And then there are some, we have to say this.
[SPEAKER_12]: So Donald's insanity, his imposting this thing, that there's an eight o'clock Eastern deadline tonight of your, in the future, we're talking about this, we're sorry, it's passed, but anyway, about the supposed to be a family.
[SPEAKER_12]: if we're all still here.
[SPEAKER_12]: But Donald is doing all of these threats.
[SPEAKER_12]: He did the one over the weekend too.
[SPEAKER_12]: Even Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson are joining us in the sand and you remember we're not joining them.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, we've already said Donald was nuts for a while.
[SPEAKER_12]: A lot of time ago.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, no, no.
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay, this is Alex Jones.
[SPEAKER_12]: I believe this was earlier today.
[SPEAKER_12]: Here, let me roll this on the DVR.
[SPEAKER_12]: VisualTrad.
[SPEAKER_12]: How do we 20th Amendment assassination?
[SPEAKER_01]: The problem is they get the 20th of the minutes harder than impeachment.
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to get two thirds of the house and two thirds of the house.
[SPEAKER_01]: So what do we do?
[SPEAKER_01]: Tackle Trump and pretend.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let him pretend he's president and publicly report that he's going through a health issue and vance takeover.
[SPEAKER_12]: Honestly, I think that's not bad.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's Robert Barnes is another wingnut lawyer friend of yours.
[SPEAKER_12]: But oh, yeah, these guys are nuts.
[SPEAKER_12]: And yet they're seeing how dangerous Donald Trump is.
[SPEAKER_12]: How far off his cracker, his cheese has slid as Bob Ceska might say.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's in another room at this point.
[SPEAKER_12]: Another room, several miles down the road.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's cheese whizz that just went away.
[SPEAKER_12]: Ooh, I like that one.
[SPEAKER_12]: Belphor Jodie on the cheese whizz reference.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, by the way, speaking of cheese whizz, there was another cheese whizz reference.
[SPEAKER_12]: Bart Bart to bear you know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love Bart.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, he said he had to go get a replacement car battery at Costco So he wasn't able to be in the bar all night last night.
[SPEAKER_12]: So you said I saw them go behind the moon Did they find out if the moon is actually made of cheese?
[SPEAKER_12]: Please don't tell me they still don't know and this whole mission was a cheese with
[SPEAKER_12]: He's a good guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's made me some really, I have a tab lamp that he made me.
[SPEAKER_12]: He also is responsible.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, he and I together are responsible for the flirtations.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I know that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I love that.
[SPEAKER_12]: You and you and Charlie just inspired that flirtation chart.
[SPEAKER_12]: What can we say?
[SPEAKER_02]: Didn't get to play with him today because it was a day.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, it was, it was, it was a, it was just an absolute crazy day.
[SPEAKER_12]: And, you know, what, this kind of thing is just, it, it shakes a lot of people mentally.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hey, speaking of people who shake things up.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hey, Doc.
[SPEAKER_12]: Doc Grammar.
[SPEAKER_12]: What's up, Doc?
[SPEAKER_08]: What's up, Doc?
[SPEAKER_08]: See you both.
[SPEAKER_08]: Glad to be back.
[SPEAKER_08]: How you doing, man?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, it depends.
[SPEAKER_08]: Who's like pretty good?
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, you still hear like all of us.
[SPEAKER_12]: So far, no nuclear war so far today, knock on wood.
[SPEAKER_02]: But stay tuned, APM, P-Strand, 7-P-M, Central.
[SPEAKER_02]: Stay tuned.
[SPEAKER_12]: Like the old TV, APM Eastern, 7-P-M Central.
[SPEAKER_08]: I got my friends out looking for mushroom clouds so that if there's anything they're supposed to text me so I can head downstairs.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not even looking.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like if it happens here because I live 12 miles from downtown Los Angeles, I'll be zapped so quickly that it's like, so mom, she's a sound of our breath.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's like, love you mom.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hmm, let me think she might be safe there.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, that's great.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's in this area, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm in DC.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm pretty sure I'm in the vaporization as well.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, me too.
[SPEAKER_08]: Totally.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Look, the fact of the matter is, all of this is, it is crazy making talk.
[SPEAKER_12]: It, it, it, it makes all of us sit there and freak out and have anxiety and worry a little bit.
[SPEAKER_12]: We need to be focusing on our mental health.
[SPEAKER_02]: But we've been worrying since the 80s and 70s because we are, we are Jen Xer so we've all been worried about this forever.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is not new for us.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: And some of the folks who are older than us, you know, they've been worrying about it since World War II.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's for young people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jen Xer, it's it's the millennials and the Gen Zers that don't understand.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're like, whatever.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're like, what?
[SPEAKER_08]: What?
[SPEAKER_08]: Give me an elementary school desk to hide underneath.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'll be just right.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'll be totally fine.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh my god, totally.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right, that'll save us all.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_12]: Look, look, Dr. Grammar is here tonight.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is a Tuesday night.
[SPEAKER_12]: We got Jared Rizzi in a little bit later as well.
[SPEAKER_12]: We have a very, um, island themed, if you will.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is a lovely drink.
[SPEAKER_12]: We won't, we will do that a little bit later as well.
[SPEAKER_12]: Like, fresh in your drink, do what you got to do.
[SPEAKER_12]: If you don't have a nice shirt, you can go to the politics bar at dot com store and get one in the break.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, let's still there.
[SPEAKER_12]: It, what Jody said, go on back.
[SPEAKER_10]: Dr. Grammar, here's politics bar.
[SPEAKER_07]: We'll be right back after we'd pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is Tuesday night here at politics bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let's give him a more formal welcome.
[SPEAKER_12]: The one that I'll leave Dr. Jeffery Grammar in the bar tonight.
[SPEAKER_12]: On a two for Tuesday.
[SPEAKER_12]: Helping us out with all of the...
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't mean to insult people who have mental health.
[SPEAKER_12]: But I do use all of the various and sundry terms for mental illness, craziness, nuts, wacko, bizarre.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, you know,
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't think there are enough synonyms for how whacked out Donald Trump is.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I don't know whether it's just, you know, literal mental health issues, whether it's just that he's an A-hole, whether he's got age-related mental health issues, whether, you've obviously looked at this before, you've talked with us before, and while you were not diagnosing him, right?
[SPEAKER_12]: You're just, you're somebody with a lot of experience in the mental health arena.
[SPEAKER_12]: What's your take on his the thing over the weekend this thing this this threat this morning or what's your take on it.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know
[SPEAKER_08]: So I think first is, is what he's doing normal or abnormal, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: And from a modern day precedent, it is abnormal, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: It is abnormal to talk about annihilating entire groups of people.
[SPEAKER_08]: It is abnormal to talk about auto-pensignatures at like an easter egg event with children.
[SPEAKER_12]: Which even though yesterday,
[SPEAKER_08]: right you know and it's just so so he's behaving in a way that most intelligent adults in a similar situation would not behave so to your question you know why and a lot of people are leaning on this ideas is is he slowing down or developing some sort of cognitive decline
[SPEAKER_08]: And there really is, we don't know.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, he certainly brags about passing his, his, you know, mini-metal state exam or mocha exam or whatever that he got, but this is, the whole thing with this is that that he would, in order for us to know, we would actually have to talk to his mental health provider correct?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, and he would need formal testing, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: Because most of the screening exams are, are meant to really
[SPEAKER_08]: be much more confident in detecting disease.
[SPEAKER_08]: It doesn't detect subtle disease and it doesn't detect disease and people that are otherwise relatively successful, but are beginning to have early decline.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: The other thing with Donald Trump is if he's displaying anything, it has been a lot more of impulsivity and a lack of social awareness than say memory deficits that seem at a proportion to his baseline in attention and impulsivity.
[SPEAKER_12]: So it's stuff that could maybe be credited to him being an A whole, then not necessarily having mental health issues or both, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: So let's talk about if he's just an A whole to use your words.
[SPEAKER_08]: That scares me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Because imagine becoming at our road about this, I'm sorry, I just did this in a YouTube video yesterday.
[SPEAKER_12]: This idea where we'll put that out, we'll put that on the socials here.
[SPEAKER_08]: Let me see.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I appreciate that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it's a, I did it three minutes, everything you need to know.
[SPEAKER_08]: So, you know, basically imagine your so grandiose because you've surrounded yourself with sick of fonts, who basically declare you as sort of the, the agent of Christ to bring in the second coming, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: Like, like, this is, this is what people around them are actually saying.
[SPEAKER_08]: And he has no critics around him telling them what he's doing as well.
[SPEAKER_08]: And he already had this profound tendency towards narcissism.
[SPEAKER_08]: So now that narcissism becomes almost messianic.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right?
[SPEAKER_08]: And things like that, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: Right, where he ends and where the world begins is difficult sometimes for people in that circumstance to figure out.
[SPEAKER_08]: So his enrichment is our enrichment.
[SPEAKER_08]: his aggrandizement is our grandnussment.
[SPEAKER_08]: He doesn't see that as different.
[SPEAKER_08]: So when he takes away from us to enrich himself, he doesn't see it as taking away from us.
[SPEAKER_08]: He just sees it as we are him.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's Napoleonic.
[SPEAKER_08]: The state is, yes, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_08]: And that starts to make a little bit more sense.
[SPEAKER_08]: So why he brings about success for things that clearly are harming everyday Americans
[SPEAKER_08]: at the gas pump, you know, at the checkout counter or what have you.
[SPEAKER_08]: And he's like, what's the big deal?
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, I wouldn't wouldn't it be if he is kind of in a limited information bubble that the people who are around him are, if not only at least mostly telling him positive things that he would like, then when he's bragging and saying, see all I did here, he's trying to say, you know, I'm doing good things for the country.
[SPEAKER_12]: He, it's like, um, like a cat bringing you a
[SPEAKER_12]: This is what I brought you.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: And it's dangerous because in that kind of extreme leadership position, if there was ever a position that demanded humility, it would be that way, because of the risk of that phenomena.
[SPEAKER_08]: And so you know, I can't entirely be sure whether what we're seeing is just a further entrenchment of sort of that grandiosity that he has displayed publicly in the past, or if there's a sign of a decline.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now let's talk about what could be a decline.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: I was talking about this with our friend Sherry Jakob earlier today.
[SPEAKER_08]: We love Sherry.
[SPEAKER_08]: And, you know, what's interesting is there does seem to be less social awareness than we have seen in prior years.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, by that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, even something as simple as is grooming.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: As ridiculous as it was, he had the the died hair, the huge comb over.
[SPEAKER_08]: It was always.
[SPEAKER_08]: he clearly had someone with him who was trying to make sure that there was no spot on covered.
[SPEAKER_08]: But now we're beginning to see the hair dye, frequency, diminishing, a lot more great showing through.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's not manicured nearly as much as it once was.
[SPEAKER_08]: His posture is off.
[SPEAKER_08]: He doesn't really, very well as he used to be.
[SPEAKER_08]: Remember how proud he was when he was recovering from COVID and he jogged across the lawn.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Despite the short and subrath, the pooby was okay.
[SPEAKER_12]: But now he has no problem sort of stumbling holding on to the lectern well, there's rumors too that that he used to as as I heard one rule of last year and when he comes in later he used to be a former White House correspondent, but that Trump, at least in his first year, I'm kind of smelled like well as my mom might jokingly say French cathouse.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, he's tank, but you know, there's perfume.
[SPEAKER_12]: right.
[SPEAKER_12]: And now he stinks, but in a completely different way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and it's here is more for climped.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a coctin.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's definitely if he was doing it on his own, which I think he was, because I think it's down to his butt, because he has to just...
[SPEAKER_02]: I do the thing because I think it starts here and just goes down there and he just does the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if he was doing it on his own for years, he can't anymore do it like he used to like it and he doesn't realize that it looks more for climps.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, I think you can probably write on that, too, Jodie.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: So what some people deposit at based on the posture, the lack of social awareness, the impulsivity is there's a form of memory decline called funnel temporal or dementia.
[SPEAKER_08]: And even within that, there are subtypes where one particular subtype can be associated with just disinhibition, lack of social awareness.
[SPEAKER_08]: And so, you know, in the end, we don't know it to be clear for all your listeners.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm not diagnosing them.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm not saying that this is what he has.
[SPEAKER_08]: These are the things that we think about when we see this kind of behavior.
[SPEAKER_12]: You're saying as a practitioner, this is something that you would see in other people that looks similar to what we're saying in here.
[SPEAKER_08]: But what bothers me is, I can't trust the this administration and the people around him were will ever be truthful to the American people for as long as Trump is currently in power.
[SPEAKER_08]: And that's where us as a real risk.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Because in my mind, if you're beginning to see, you know, it's one thing to lose your memory and you can't remember stuff, but impulsivity is not something you want the President of the United States to have.
[SPEAKER_02]: Reagan had Alzheimer's, obviously, that we found out later.
[SPEAKER_02]: But his impulsivity was not doing that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: So Trump would actually initiate activities.
[SPEAKER_08]: So as opposed to just pulling back and becoming withdrawn, there are subtypes of memory disorders, subtypes of personality phenomena where your impulsivity gets worse.
[SPEAKER_08]: And then you're more like to do things like start a war that we didn't need to start.
[SPEAKER_12]: escalate that war beyond what you need or get a few wars with places like Cuba and so forth or Canada and Canada if you're with his ego problem once you started you certainly can admit that it was a mistake right so then you just doubled down and tripled down and quadrupled down because by God you never make mistakes right he's never made a mistake in his life as far as we know right
[SPEAKER_08]: Right, not one that, absolutely, not one that he can make.
[SPEAKER_08]: So then, so then how do we build in the systems of checks and balances?
[SPEAKER_08]: to because the reality is, you know, is anyone going to really do the 25th Amendment for the guy?
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, he said, well, even if they did, we just, we played just before you came into the bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: Um, because, and we think it's important that we remind other people people like Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson are joining us in the world of the same.
[SPEAKER_12]: We are not joining them in the world of the crazy, but Alex had on a wingnut lawyer Robert Barnes.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: And Alex immediately went to the, oh, the 25th.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's actually easier to impeach a president.
[SPEAKER_12]: Then it is right to right but it's the idea of of the people who are around him to do a 25th amendment They would have to be willing to basically throw Trump under the bus
[SPEAKER_02]: Not yet, JD Vance is still cheerleading for Victor Orbond.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, he's in Hungary today.
[SPEAKER_10]: He in front of a crowd of like 5,500 people.
[SPEAKER_12]: This was, I didn't even get a story on this.
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't know if either of you to heard this.
[SPEAKER_12]: So Vance is doing a little song and dance kind of a thing for Orbond campaigning for him today.
[SPEAKER_12]: Calls Donald on his phone.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and Donald got on.
[SPEAKER_12]: Donald well got on the second time when he got what he called the first time Trump didn't answer because it's JD That's that's a lot about their relationship
[SPEAKER_12]: That's got to be one of those things in your JD vans and you literally you're in front of all of these I'm the vice president of states here.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let me call my boss.
[SPEAKER_12]: Ring.
[SPEAKER_02]: Click.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: But he, anyway, he got him on and then Donald, you know, I think that he's great, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[SPEAKER_12]: But yeah, he's over there kissing his ass.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm like, are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_12]: Really?
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know the Putin suggested that Orban get a fake assassination attempt against him, right?
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, I remember seeing that news too, right?
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm taking Butler, Pennsylvania, just.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody did die.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was horrible.
[SPEAKER_12]: But, well, look, and we don't, that's just it.
[SPEAKER_12]: All of us, we don't, I mean, as much as we dislike Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, we've, we've, we've jokes, Dr. Grammar, around hearing you.
[SPEAKER_12]: Are the reeds.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you do that all the time.
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't.
[SPEAKER_12]: This is true.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm the one who's more responsible for that.
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, you've said, too, that, you know, you wouldn't mind as long as he was in, you know, a prison for the rest of his life.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: 11 worth it sounds really nice that makes us mentally, you know, deficient or evil.
[SPEAKER_12]: We just would like the danger to be removed.
[SPEAKER_12]: Accountable.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I actually think that's a very important point because, like, in some ways, Donald Trump is who he is, whether it's personality, disease, state, or whatever, like he is who he is.
[SPEAKER_08]: He has always been outside the realm of what we would consider to be sort of a typical and productive member of society.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: And so what bothers me is there are people in government who know better, and are still like accommodating his aberration of behavior.
[SPEAKER_08]: And so in our country, there's a percentage of people that want an autocratic leader because to not have that, to not have the identity, to not have the security of that, is so overwhelming that they're just like, I don't want to bear the burden of freedom.
[SPEAKER_12]: So we hang on a second here because we talked about that late last night right security versus liberty and you're saying there are some people mentally who are set up that they prioritize security over liberty for them that's a normal state.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right, and that risk is in every country.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's why these regimes rise to court is they capitalize upon that cult of personality with tribalism to make people feel secure because they don't have the uncertainty of freedom.
[SPEAKER_12]: Now, that doesn't necessarily make them mentally ill. That just means that for their particular emotional stuff is at that point.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I need a daddy to take care of me, and then I don't have to worry about anything.
[SPEAKER_12]: Tell me what to do and where to go.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's who they are for his history are so many of us right Supposed to so many of us here in the bar who are we can figure that out for ourselves.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thanks That's me Yeah, but 70% of America doesn't want that right.
[SPEAKER_08]: They want the freedom
[SPEAKER_08]: They want the ability to determine their own destiny and to pursue their own happiness and love and prosperity as they need You know need to be it's what bothers me is you know We have an entire group of elected officials who are accommodating Donald Trump to satisfy this 30% of the population or less even 25 depending on you know Who you read
[SPEAKER_08]: And it's at the betrayal of 70% of America.
[SPEAKER_08]: And that, I find unforgivable.
[SPEAKER_08]: So when we talk about Donald Trump going to jail, you know, I really think what people are saying is they want accountability for the betrayal of our constitution and the majority of Americans and the direction they want this country to follow.
[SPEAKER_10]: Amen.
[SPEAKER_10]: And this is why I adore you.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, it's, it's, it's, it's helpful.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is extremely helpful.
[SPEAKER_12]: We think to help everybody understand kind of, it's, it's not you.
[SPEAKER_12]: You're not going crazy.
[SPEAKER_12]: And some of the people that do like Donald Trump, it's not that they're crazy.
[SPEAKER_12]: Either, they just, they have a different natural state and different natural way of of thinking and being and they prioritize things differently.
[SPEAKER_12]: So to hate them is, is not necessarily, it's, you know, you, I pity them.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, yeah, I do too.
[SPEAKER_02]: I pity them.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't hate them.
[SPEAKER_02]: I pity them.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're been misled and And they're most of them are ribs not all of them, but a good portion of the 30% or 25% are ribs and then there's 10% that are like steven Miller, you know
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: Or there are people like Tucker Carlson who has all of this.
[SPEAKER_12]: He's in it for himself and that's definitely same with match.
[SPEAKER_12]: Uh-huh, we know that too.
[SPEAKER_12]: By the way, if you are in Georgia and the polls are still open, please vote for Sean Harris.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sean Harris, Sean Harris.
[SPEAKER_12]: There we go, look, look, we got, we got a whole other round, Dr. Grammar, can we keep you around?
[SPEAKER_12]: Cause I want to talk more about the good stuff that we can think about, about ourselves and our mental health.
[SPEAKER_12]: He's here, shaking his head, he's looking.
[SPEAKER_12]: Fresh in your drink, do what you got to do.
[SPEAKER_12]: We got more with Dr. Grammer here at the politics bar on a Tuesday night.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_07]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: Like it is on Tuesday night, it's politics bar, thanks for hanging out with us, join us from wherever you are, whether you are playing invisible musical instruments like Jodi is or whether you just sit in a hand, drink in hand, like Dr. Graham or nothing wrong with that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Thank you for everybody who reaches out on all of our favorite platforms, like Substack or Blue Sky or Threads or Instagram or Facebook or Twitter or YouTube, we are on the politics bar in all of those locations, which
[SPEAKER_12]: makes it pretty convenient since you guys are at the fault this bar hanging out with us.
[SPEAKER_12]: By the way, thank you to everybody who dials us up on that bar line as well.
[SPEAKER_12]: 2-1-3-6-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-2-5-8-2-1-3-6-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7
[SPEAKER_12]: We just, we want you to reach out and make sure that you continue to be part of the community because we understand more important than ever.
[SPEAKER_12]: Being part of this community helps you keep your sanity.
[SPEAKER_12]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_12]: Which, I think Dr. Grammarys is, I think people for a long time have undervalued community.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I think one of the things that's been really healthy this year, this last, well, this last year since Donald Trump got back in.
[SPEAKER_12]: But especially the fact well with the with the pandemic, even it's it's finding our communities.
[SPEAKER_12]: I know people some people, you know, think of it and they they write it off, but You got a great piece.
[SPEAKER_12]: We put it in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_12]: It happens to be in this part of me in the S. Okay, sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't don't be pleased.
[SPEAKER_02]: You got so much work today.
[SPEAKER_12]: Drink the day later when Jared comes in.
[SPEAKER_12]: But we've got your piece that you wrote recently here.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's basically about why protests and rallies like the No Kings rallies.
[SPEAKER_12]: And the May Day strong rally coming up May 1st.
[SPEAKER_12]: Matter very strongly in helping our own mental health, helping us stay positive and resilient.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I think a lot of that goes to community.
[SPEAKER_12]: Am I wrong on that?
[SPEAKER_08]: You're exactly right in.
[SPEAKER_08]: And first is recognizing what auto-crack auto-crats try to do, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: And by flooding the zone, by the shock and all, what they're trying to do is make you feel alone and hopeless.
[SPEAKER_08]: got it, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: So suddenly, you know, you're being told because news is controlled, the messaging is controlled, that you're thinking is wrong.
[SPEAKER_08]: Everything, your whole world views wrong, and this is which right, and you're all by yourself, and we're all moving this direction because, you know, we control the government, we have a mandate from voters, Yadia.
[SPEAKER_08]: And when you've certainly show up the no-king's protest, and you look at the hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm not the one that's wrong, they're the one that's wrong.
[SPEAKER_08]: Like this is not okay and everyone else sees it.
[SPEAKER_08]: That is very reinforcing and that's why, you know, it's, I think it serves two purposes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Number one is reaffirming our own sanity check with all of this.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's what we call reality testing is my reality true, nice.
[SPEAKER_08]: The other thing that it does is if you get to shape the narrative for those that pay less attention.
[SPEAKER_08]: So suddenly you're down town and you're not really following politics daily like a lot of us do, and you see hundreds of thousands of people out in your window like man, this is a big deal.
[SPEAKER_08]: This must be something and it flags it for you and it's a way to override the autocratic messaging that is meant to demoralize and isolate.
[SPEAKER_12]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_12]: That makes sense and and and look along before the right wing took over CBS and now they're trying to see an end and it started in 1995 with Fox News.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let's just go with that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, because they they have their own.
[SPEAKER_02]: GOP T GOP TV is what Nixon wanted to start with Roger Ailes.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right in the late 60s.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, we've even we've even got okay.
[SPEAKER_12]: So last night Tucker Carlson, not job that he is.
[SPEAKER_12]: I know Bob has a theory about that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, that's when he's in here tomorrow night, but
[SPEAKER_12]: Tucker was spending about an hour last night I think new in it let me play this for you Dr. Graham just you can hear this this is it's crazy not normally Tucker Carlson is you know off the off the rocker you know that the guy who's you know 10 year ago dad's guy you know him and well no but this is what he was saying last night it is a file on every level it begins with a promise to use the US military our military
[SPEAKER_05]: to destroy civilian infrastructure in another country, which is to say to commit a war crime, a moral crime against the people of the country, those people who are in direct contact with the president need to say, no, I'll resign.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this because this is insane.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it's given you what I'm not carrying it out.
[SPEAKER_12]: Wow, I'd never thought I'd say this, but Tucker Carlson is right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and this is why the heat hexeth keeps firing,
[SPEAKER_02]: for star generals because they won't do his bidding.
[SPEAKER_12]: because they won't do the crazy thing.
[SPEAKER_12]: They won't do the way we had the illegal stuff.
[SPEAKER_12]: We had Glenn Kersner in last year.
[SPEAKER_12]: We've put it up a really, really day on our social media.
[SPEAKER_12]: We reposted it from our YouTube channel.
[SPEAKER_12]: How if you are a member of the US military or you are a member of the government and you are given an illegal order, it is your responsibility to say no.
[SPEAKER_12]: So a Donald Trump says, I'm ordering you to drop a nuke on a ran and there is absolutely no good reason to do it.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is your obligation to say no, pound sensor.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I heard there are reports that Iranians are putting civilians on the bridges now around the power plants.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, we have a story on that in the news on Tesla.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's like they're making us commit war crimes if he does what he, well, even more than we already are, which just by We've done it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, we've done it.
[SPEAKER_02]: The power plants and killing a kids in the schools.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, we've already let me throw it a less than generous interpretation of that because, you know,
[SPEAKER_08]: There's a lot of evidence that the FST files show that Trump may have committed a crime.
[SPEAKER_08]: We don't know.
[SPEAKER_08]: But certainly other people did 100% and we're not pursuing that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Like that's true.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's how it even be on debate.
[SPEAKER_08]: Very true.
[SPEAKER_12]: And chances are pretty good that Donald Trump may have known that they were committing crimes, including crimes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even if he didn't do anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: So.
[SPEAKER_08]: right exactly like the whole thing is bad so if if if if if a using children isn't your line what about January six where thank you broken to the capital and story stuff and and and these people even running for office now like that that if that wasn't the one right so so why all of a sudden is it
[SPEAKER_08]: war crimes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, you can pardon people for federal crimes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's hard to do a state crime that wouldn't be superseded by a federal crime.
[SPEAKER_08]: So that's the last of an issue.
[SPEAKER_08]: But international crimes you can't pardon someone.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I can't help but wonder if some of the people in this inner circle of looking around like all the
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, and that's a Jack Smith.
[SPEAKER_02]: Go, Jack Smith.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, look, and then you've got, you've got people like Tucker.
[SPEAKER_12]: We'll talk about it with Bob, but we were just hinting at it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Bob thinks that Tucker is going to try to run for office.
[SPEAKER_12]: He is.
[SPEAKER_12]: And so, of course, he's wanting to try to disconnect.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's trying to do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: The people that supported Nixon.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I never liked him.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: And they're what we're going to be surrounded in our lives by some of these people, but for those of us who aren't those people, for those of us who were never those people, for those of us who have been warning about monsters like this coming for 25 or 30 years, and that we can now see that we were right, they were wrong, we are not crazy.
[SPEAKER_12]: Um, what are some good ways that we can in a moment to moment-way, Dr. Grammar, just kind of center ourselves, get our calm, find where we can be a little bit more, you know, even when they're doing all this, you know, I mean, when you wake up in the morning and you see, hey, you know, I'm in the universe and you're like, oh crap.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I look at it this way.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're a bad people on the world.
[SPEAKER_08]: They've always been there, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: And usually they don't seize power in such and fish away at least in countries like the US because we've built in some checks and balances that eventually get over ridden.
[SPEAKER_08]: Think of it this way.
[SPEAKER_08]: Most of your neighbors are great law-abiding citizens and they're not going to break into your house.
[SPEAKER_08]: occasionally someone does.
[SPEAKER_08]: And that's what we have right now in America is we have someone to broken into our house and let's take a look at democracy away.
[SPEAKER_08]: But that is the minority of the people out there.
[SPEAKER_08]: So the people that find this offensive, the people that find this distressing, you're more likely in the same group with them than the people who feel otherwise.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right?
[SPEAKER_08]: So that gets back to that reality testing.
[SPEAKER_08]: And we need to take moments in the day.
[SPEAKER_08]: to recognize that sense of belongingness with one another, and that sense of community that we have with one another for the greater good, remembering that that still is an ideal that we all strive for, and while we have this headwind, it has not replaced that ideal for a better future for all of us.
[SPEAKER_08]: So I should let it rainwash you into thinking it's hopeless.
[SPEAKER_12]: So we should do things like, I mean, yes, no king's rallies are great.
[SPEAKER_12]: The media rally coming up may first is great, and those events are great.
[SPEAKER_12]: But you're saying we should do things on a daily basis to connect with people, even if it's just one or two people, even if we're trying to stay off a social media, just connect for a little bit with some and go to an indivisible site, go to a friend of yours that has funny videos and watch for, you know, minute or two, find a way to keep connected with your community,
[SPEAKER_12]: to ground yourself, to remind yourself that however insane it is, that there are way more of us than there are of them.
[SPEAKER_08]: Absolutely, they want you, I mean, you know, part of this idea of making everyone an enemy is it, it isolates you.
[SPEAKER_08]: So, you know, from people from other countries, they're the enemy if it's, you know, whatever, the goal is to remember that, absolutely, no, that is not the case.
[SPEAKER_08]: There are a lot of people out there that I am friends with that I have identified, you know, commonality with that I want to meet with when you're exactly right, like, remember to live.
[SPEAKER_08]: because they more they kind of push us into that despondency, the more recently start bearing that burn alone.
[SPEAKER_08]: And this is like, you know, that classic saying of, you know, you know, individually we fall, but united, we succeed or some variation of that, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: Like so right.
[SPEAKER_08]: So we have to stay collectively together, not just in the political movement,
[SPEAKER_08]: But in the common goals of just our shared humanity for one another, and that is the micro events that occur day to day holding the door open for someone saying hello, you know, just being nice to people calling someone you haven't talked to in a long time and asking how they're doing supporting one another, that actually goes a long way toward not only protecting the mental health, but fighting this a talk or see this trying to take over.
[SPEAKER_02]: One of my neighbors on Sunday when I was on a walk about and I hadn't seen him in a while.
[SPEAKER_02]: He lives of half mile and some change for me, so I walk a lot.
[SPEAKER_02]: And as he's walking up with his dog, he goes, you know what, this is better than an Easter egg seeing you today.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, you know, it was like, thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was so nice to see you and, you know, I mean, he's a lovely human and he's definitely kindred spirit with me politically.
[SPEAKER_02]: But that wasn't what it was about.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just like, it's nice to see you today.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it was very lovely and I was like, I feel better and I can walk now.
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, it's great when we receive those kinds of things.
[SPEAKER_12]: Does that help when we give them?
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: Is it reciprocal?
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think so.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was great to see him.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I was like, I was so when I saw him, I was like, I'm taking out my earbud because I'm going to talk to him and I love this guy and no, I get that.
[SPEAKER_12]: I get that.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm saying, Dr. Grammar, is it something where if it's something that we're desiring, we should do that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Whether we're going to our corner store or Bodega, our walk in our neighborhood or whatever, just, you know, initiate because it's more likely somebody else will return it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, and it also feels good, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: It's like serenessness that are morally grounded altruism, helping others, is considered a mature and adaptable defense.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's part of why we exist is that when we feel like we're part of greater or something than ourselves, that becomes reinforcing for helping deal with the vicitudes of day-to-day life.
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_12]: So, not being an A-hole, being a good person, actually, you can get through it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, don't be an A-hole.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not that hard.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's my prescription.
[SPEAKER_08]: Don't be an A-hole.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm all for that prescription.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm like, heck yeah, that's the prescription.
[SPEAKER_12]: I think we can all take on a daily basis.
[SPEAKER_12]: And that's one of the reasons we wanted to invite you here.
[SPEAKER_12]: Because I know, Jonny and I know this.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh my God, this this day has just been kind of crazy.
[SPEAKER_12]: And obviously, you know, well, well, well, well, hopefully we'll have to tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll know it.
[SPEAKER_02]: APM's the Eastern and 7PM Central tonight.
[SPEAKER_12]: Which may already happen where you are.
[SPEAKER_12]: So if you're listening, this congratulations on being alive.
[SPEAKER_02]: We are alive.
[SPEAKER_12]: Dr. Grammar, we always love having you here, man.
[SPEAKER_12]: Thank you so much for coming in.
[SPEAKER_12]: We will have you back on another evening.
[SPEAKER_12]: Tell Sherry, hello, with Fusear before we do.

[SPEAKER_12]: No waiting.
[SPEAKER_12]: Also, we have drinks coming in.
[SPEAKER_12]: We have to get you that drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_12]: It will be a very good drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_12]: Fresh in your drink and come right back to the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_10]: We're still here.
[SPEAKER_12]: Thank you so far up in the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is Tuesday night.

[SPEAKER_12]: You got your shots with Pierce.
[SPEAKER_12]: And now.
[SPEAKER_12]: Shining us in the bar this hour the one the only Mr. Jared Rizzi.
[SPEAKER_09]: How you doing man?
[SPEAKER_09]: Good evening and if you are listening and a post-apocalyptic future This is what went wrong Well obviously look with your experience in some of your contacts.
[SPEAKER_12]: Uh, you know, we're gonna have
[SPEAKER_10]: That's what they're saying.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's a quote.
[SPEAKER_12]: That usually translates pretty easily.
[SPEAKER_12]: Do you have it?
[SPEAKER_12]: Was that five H's or six?
[SPEAKER_12]: Just wanted to double check on that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Big thanks by the way to everybody joining us for our two on all of our great radio affiliates.
[SPEAKER_12]: Whether you are joining us from AM950, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, or maybe you are joining us.
[SPEAKER_12]: And the D2 are talking Tennessee.
[SPEAKER_12]: Maybe you are listening in Georgia on Georgia now, radio or on A.
[SPEAKER_12]: And maybe 20 Chicago WCPT are on progressive voices radio worldwide wherever you happen to be or maybe you're one of those cool future people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Or on Artemis 2 because you're the only ones left.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you're going to have to populate the earth.
[SPEAKER_12]: And entirely possible.
[SPEAKER_12]: But thank you if you are listening on Artemis 2.
[SPEAKER_12]: Now you're back in range.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, you know, you're back from the dark side of the mission.
[SPEAKER_02]: They have a different name for the pot.
[SPEAKER_02]: well right right but i'm just saying you know that that that as far as that goes uh... you know if they're still getting this somewhere in their listening that means that they were listening you know of course maybe the landed since that i will be well then it you we have the stash of liberty and trump has been know that you know that people were joking just like everybody when they land finally just put on the plan of the he's out of his ass right and everyone mess with them
[SPEAKER_10]: Good.
[SPEAKER_10]: Everybody plant eight masks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, that's not wrong because it could happen.
[SPEAKER_09]: Here's what I will say.
[SPEAKER_09]: They had 40 minutes where they were completely out of contact with the earth.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that sounds peaceful.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, doesn't it?
[SPEAKER_12]: Although, honestly, if you're the one who is waiting for them to come back.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, that would be scary.
[SPEAKER_12]: It'd be a little scary, but also part of you.
[SPEAKER_12]: You've got to think that who's ever there.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's going to pick up the metaphorical phone
[SPEAKER_12]: when they come back to be like, oh, well, President Harris says everything is fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just messing up like that.
[SPEAKER_12]: That'd be funny.
[SPEAKER_12]: Just totally weird.
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
[SPEAKER_02]: President Chelsea Clinton is so happy that you're back.

[SPEAKER_12]: All right, Jody, what is the drink of the day today?
[SPEAKER_12]: And of course, what is the inspiration that
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it is called a South Pacific cocktail.
[UNKNOWN]: Uh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: But it's not the movie.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's for the Broadway Broadway.
[SPEAKER_12]: The original Broadway Broadway with Mary Martin.
[SPEAKER_12]: April 7, 1949, Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific opened for the first time with a majestic theater on Broadway in New York.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Mary Martin also played Peter Pan.
[SPEAKER_02]: True.
[SPEAKER_02]: I watched that in the 70s in Black and White.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all I am.
[SPEAKER_12]: The weird thing for me is, because my dad used to like James Mishner.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: And yes, he wanted Pulitzer Prize for the short stories, tales of the South Pacific, on which the musical is based.
[SPEAKER_12]: But, you know, Mishner, you would never in a million years think that South Pacific the musical was based off of Mishner, if you didn't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: And for those of you that don't know, Jerry Ewing,
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, the actor who played Larry Hagman.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is Mary Martin's son.
[SPEAKER_12]: There you go, so for if you're if you're a fan of Dallas back in the day.
[SPEAKER_09]: I love the fact that you included all of these videos.
[SPEAKER_09]: I did.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's a lot of good stuff in this one today.
[SPEAKER_09]: I did kind of had a little detour.
[SPEAKER_09]: Not that I'm dissociating from anything.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hey, I don't mind going into a whole world that's like World War II era because at least the leaders that were not insured
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, except for Hitler, but other than that, everybody was fine.
[SPEAKER_12]: OK. Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, what did Dr. Grandma tell us early today?
[SPEAKER_12]: There's a handful of people who are, who have threatened to destroy the whole world.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was Hitler, Us, Hussein, and I forget.
[SPEAKER_12]: And Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: There was a third one besides Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, there's another one.
[SPEAKER_12]: I can't remember the other one.
[SPEAKER_12]: But yeah, he's in, he's in totally bizarre old company, which he's anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not shocked.
[SPEAKER_12]: So what are we drinking?
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, we're, we're drinking a specific kind of dude.
[SPEAKER_02]: So for those of you that are sober, if we die tonight, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_12]: look we do have we I I can promise you it's out there I don't know if it'll ever publish that way but we do have drinks that will be Yes, we do.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that are that are also for those that don't drink out.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're mocked all.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, right, but tonight it's a cocktail It is a sidebar by the way.
[SPEAKER_09]: I do feel like any cocktails have drastically improved as someone they are really good We get one and just you know We're talking
[SPEAKER_09]: miles ahead.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: A couple years ago.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I do think this is another wonderful side benefit of widespread cannabis availability because people would just like, I just don't, this isn't the only show in town.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, there's also the THC ones, but there's a whole line of like layers.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh yeah, which which we oftentimes reference here, but they're absolutely only company, but but we I mean there are a lot of ways that you can make good non alcohol cocktails and you know we've we've tried to make sure we do at least one if not two a week where it's here's the cocktail here's the mocktail mm-hmm yeah that way you know everybody gets you
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, and this is basically a smoothie this one today.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's practically health food.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh my god, yeah, there's so much fruit in this.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: So what is in this opposite of the cocktail, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, you're gonna need a pre-chilled.
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't write it, but she always did it today because I'm kidding.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right, all glasses are should be pre-chilled.
[SPEAKER_12]: Just put it on the shirt, we should.
[SPEAKER_02]: just always just put in the freezer whatever is just do it all yet minor totally pre-shilled anyway a martini glass shaker ice a fresh one fresh passion fruit which is very yummy okay one fresh piece of passion fruit a flu one ounce of kettle one citron vodka or any lemon infused vodka right here if you like some of the type of vodka it says
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, now I'm going to just try to...
[SPEAKER_12]: I can do one ounce of quai-fay-light-chea liqueur.
[SPEAKER_12]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, it's like a specific style fruit.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's pretty good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was just reading that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, nah, it's not going to happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: An ounce of pineapple juice.
[SPEAKER_02]: Joy, because we're in the South Pacific.
[SPEAKER_02]: And a half of an ounce of lime juice always freshly squeezed.
[SPEAKER_02]: And agarnishes are pineapple wedge because, again, South Pacific, so you cut your passion fruit and half and scoop the flesh into the shaker, so you add the other ingredients and you shake it until cold, doi, you strain it into your martining glass and you garnish with the pineapple wedge and it's, it'll wash that guy right out of your hair.
[SPEAKER_12]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_12]: Also, if you happen to have the little umbrellas, definitely, because you're going to need them tonight.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm just four foot-foot-foot and made of lead.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know what works though, Jared is a six, six-graders desk.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you just jump under that, you're going to be fine.
[SPEAKER_12]: You guys are good.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: We know this is a work.
[SPEAKER_12]: Those work.
[SPEAKER_12]: Back in the day us, us, Jen Axeers, exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: If you missed any part of the drink of the day, you know what to do subscribe at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now seriously, Jared, if you jump under your desk.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, it's safe, that's base.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's literally, we were at the end of the era where they were like, you know, you have to do this.
[SPEAKER_12]: And, you know, I did this on 1975.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: And you get a few years older and you look at some of the videos from that and you're like, what the hell drop and cover they were they were film strips drop and cover.
[SPEAKER_09]: I, yeah, nice work, I can get it, you know, the film strip gig.
[SPEAKER_09]: I will say as a parent now with a six year old, the day that they came back and told me about their active shooter.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, that's from one of those days that I just, I think I chewed through like nine fingernails.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, it's hard in, you know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, as bad as it was for us, dropping and covering from the time I was,
[SPEAKER_02]: four until I was eight, um, not as scary as what your kids had to go through.
[SPEAKER_12]: Mind what kids now have to go to.
[SPEAKER_02]: And fire drills were kind of scary, but like the fire going, yeah, go out, you know.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, any kind of one, you probably didn't have the tornado drills.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nope, we had the drop drills until 75.
[SPEAKER_02]: We had those every year, every last Friday of the month from the time I was about four
[SPEAKER_02]: Every last Friday, Eric Raid's Irons went off, we knew we had a drop and cover, even if we were in recess.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, we were gonna drop, but we did, we all just went, doop.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the first time I heard it, air raid siren as an adult was in Minnesota.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was a tornado.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, do we have to drop?
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're like, no, I'm like, what is that?
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're like, it's a tornado.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, what the hell is that?
[SPEAKER_02]: And then my stupid friends, because we were in our early 20s, we went up to the roof.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, because we're stupid.
[SPEAKER_12]: Then I don't look.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's how you know you're with an experienced person from the Midwest.
[SPEAKER_12]: Is the siren goes on and then you go, wait, you wait a second and you're like, do I hear a train?
[SPEAKER_12]: No, no, it was like, don't you train that you go out to the nearest porch or, you know, roof or whatever and you go, hey, do you see it?
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm not, do you see it?
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, I think it's, okay, now we need to go down to the bay, and then you go down to the basement or the storm.
[SPEAKER_02]: It looked like it was backlit by Steven Spielberg with green piece soup was what I saw and it's hooked up.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's hooked up.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's hooked up.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I will say the West the first time.
[SPEAKER_09]: So I grew up in New York when to college in Indiana the first time As a freshman at Notre Dame where I am essentially you're so smart.
[SPEAKER_09]: You went to Notre Dame You're right in pain the the tornado siren for the very first time frightening.
[SPEAKER_09]: I was so hungover and I had no idea what
[SPEAKER_09]: that was going up and I'm just I'm basically the the my cousin you know the the the Vinnie my kind of like you blend but in but in a different part of the country and I'm just hung over and miserable I'm like what the hell is that thing does that siren go off and for a clock every morning?
[SPEAKER_09]: No, it's usually 3.30.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right, yeah, no, let's look.
[SPEAKER_12]: Everybody has different things like that that they're used to different outside external dangers.
[SPEAKER_12]: But none of us have ever experienced a political danger.
[SPEAKER_12]: Like the one obviously that this Trump regime is putting on all of us.
[SPEAKER_12]: Obviously, since we're all still here, we survived the deadline.
[SPEAKER_09]: Time of typing.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, right, if you are listening on the podcast and it's tomorrow, I mean, it can happen overnight.
[SPEAKER_12]: We don't know, but what's the guy your counter say right now, guys, tell us what we have to go pace and bills while things are still standing because you know, in Tuesday, this could or Wednesday, this could be all.
[SPEAKER_12]: whatever.
[SPEAKER_12]: Look.
[SPEAKER_12]: Jared is here.
[SPEAKER_12]: Jody is here.
[SPEAKER_12]: I am here.
[SPEAKER_12]: You are here.

[SPEAKER_12]: Got to get your take on that Michigan game there, Jared.

[SPEAKER_12]: Fresh in your drink.

[SPEAKER_12]: Thank you as always for hanging out with us.
[SPEAKER_12]: You got a full compliment of servers serving you up all of the great news and politics and information that you need.
[SPEAKER_12]: You got your Jody Hamilton.
[SPEAKER_12]: You got your Jared Rizzi and you got me shots with Pierce so we are all hanging out with you tonight.
[SPEAKER_12]: Thank you very much by the way to everybody who reaches out on our social media platforms blue sky.
[SPEAKER_12]: Throw
[SPEAKER_12]: friends, Instagram, Facebook, Substack, Twitter, and YouTube.
[SPEAKER_12]: We are at the politics mark.
[SPEAKER_12]: Obviously, we've had a number of good comments.
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, I have to look up this one here, particularly here.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let me see here.
[SPEAKER_12]: Um, Scano.
[SPEAKER_12]: But it's kind of a, it's kind of a little bit dark dude, but he's over here in the blue sky corner of the bargain and he says it's kind of wild to think there is a possibility the only humans that may be alive after today are in the art of his two people.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, they're in that mission.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Which I'm like, dude, that's, that's just, that's, that's, they're going to have to repopulate the planet.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, I think if you're in New Zealand, you might be fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: There are some other remote corner.
[SPEAKER_02]: VG Tonga Vanuatu.
[SPEAKER_12]: Look, but there is, there is going to be, I know where it's stuff in the Pacific, but it's just, if that kind of thing happened, there would be none of the stuff that anybody was used to, whether it's football, basketball, rugby, whatever.
[SPEAKER_12]: These things are important to people's lives.
[SPEAKER_12]: So, you know, before we get back more into the, the heavy stuff, got to mention again, Michigan men's basketball team, one last night, they beat you, got on 69 to 63.
[SPEAKER_12]: That was, uh,
[SPEAKER_12]: Kind of ugly, but it was clear that Michigan should have won.
[SPEAKER_12]: You kind of was just flailing, trying to, to, to, sorry, Jared.
[SPEAKER_12]: They just, they were not, they were not the, the, the better team.
[SPEAKER_12]: So it was, it was nice to see, although here's, here's the reason I mentioned this.
[SPEAKER_12]: So I don't know if you guys have heard about the transfer portal.
[SPEAKER_12]: This is what a lot of college students do.
[SPEAKER_02]: Didn't go to the Waffle House.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, I would.
[SPEAKER_12]: That transfer part of the portal and if, right there.
[SPEAKER_02]: The theme guy says, you know, he's got a portal that goes to the wall.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Now, the transfer portal for athletes, for those of you who don't know, that means that it's an opportunity for them to transfer different school, transfer their credits and these kind of things.
[SPEAKER_12]: More than a thousand men's college ball basketball players enter the transfer portal after the midnight deadline and more than 1100 women's players enter on the first day.
[SPEAKER_12]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_12]: And all of that is because of the the name image and likeness, the ability for them to make money, a lot of it is very, very little of that is based on on academics and I'm just like, good God, I don't know what I don't blame them.
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't, but I also look at it in terms of of just it's hard to, it's hard to imagine I transferred twice in college.
[SPEAKER_12]: I did not go to Notre Dame, unfortunately.
[SPEAKER_12]: I did go to Co-College and see your happens Iowa.
[SPEAKER_12]: I went to South Dakota State, up in Brookings, and then I went to finish at the University of Nebraska Lincoln.
[SPEAKER_12]: And it's hard enough to try to keep your bearings when you're physical locations.
[SPEAKER_12]: And then when the thing that you're dealing with school keeps changing, that's hard, too.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is even more difficult for people who are dealing with aging parents and dealing with kids.
[SPEAKER_12]: Like your little munchkin, Jared, who's five, which is still close to my mind that that's the case.
[SPEAKER_12]: 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, 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_12]: Well, look, it's hard enough to keep up with them on all of this type of stuff, and then have to look to the news and wake up to the news.
[SPEAKER_12]: Wake up to things like Trump saying, quote, a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't want it to happen, but it probably will.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's so adorable, isn't he?
[SPEAKER_09]: Here are the two options in front of us right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: Either the largest taco we've ever seen.
[SPEAKER_09]: I hope so.
[SPEAKER_09]: Chicken's out for a giant Tuesday taco, which is the good option.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is.
[SPEAKER_10]: War.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, by the way, if he does taco tonight, there will be two of them.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's two for Tuesday after all.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, or thank you for self-buzzing.
[SPEAKER_09]: I understood you want to correctly read the book on that one.
[SPEAKER_12]: I knew that look in the fact you were reaching over here for the button.
[SPEAKER_09]: I knew that as soon as I said it so, Jodie and I have a signal and it's just look.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, but no, or, or.
[SPEAKER_09]: massive war crimes genocide against an entire people.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean those are the two options those are the two options I think there's I think there's a well no I guess that would be talking him him saying they did But I wanted I agreed to you know that agreed that we we've got some deal plan and of course the I the the Iranians at that point
[SPEAKER_12]: There's a lot of stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's a lot of stuff.
[SPEAKER_12]: There's a lot of stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean it feels kind of like they intentionally picked it for this reason in this moment as we're in this moment And somebody put it up before you go on somebody pointed out today is four seven and he's the 47th president He's that stupid he says we've been for 47 years with these guys so it's like
[SPEAKER_12]: Although that whole thing for those people who don't know I can't remember who it was on one of our social media platforms I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just I need to scream about how much I hate what Jodie just said.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know I hate it.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a fun Jodie.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I hate it too.
[SPEAKER_12]: Jodie's right, but look No, with you.
[SPEAKER_12]: The 47th thing as we've we've stated already goes back to 1978 when the Islamic Revolution was But these Lama Revolution happened because we were the ones that replaced their Democratic elected leader back in the 50s so just so there we go
[SPEAKER_09]: So you sure wish you would happen to me.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, uh, so that's a white Christmas reference, I think.
[UNKNOWN]: That was very nice.
[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm just going to try to bring a theater kid and play a politics good game.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, but here's some good news.
[SPEAKER_09]: Here's some unalloyed good news.
[SPEAKER_09]: Democrats are not nowhere on this, which is what we think we're afraid of.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've already seen John Larson of Connecticut, house member, file some articles of impeachment.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've already seen
[SPEAKER_09]: Uh, some even in deep red bright red districts are plus 25 districts say, Hey, I want to put some distance.
[SPEAKER_09]: This would be a war crime.
[SPEAKER_09]: The America is great because America is good stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_09]: So everyone on the spectrum is saying we don't want anything to do with this exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: Just Alex Jones and Tucker Carl.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: You're like actually elected Republicans who are still in office are also agreeing with the rest of us that that Trump is Little off his crackers Johnson just say today.
[SPEAKER_02]: I pray he doesn't do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, Johnson let's go talk to him
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, you know, you have other options than the hope in the prayer.
[SPEAKER_09]: You actually can go down to the White House.
[SPEAKER_09]: And lots of us are going to tonight here in Washington, D.C. there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good for you guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: Be careful.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I hate even this.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_09]: I may have to head down to you.
[SPEAKER_09]: Be careful.
[SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: We're already seeing footage of Ranians gathering around bridges and fish.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, to stop us from doing war crimes.
[SPEAKER_09]: The visual of this, because we know that as we are talking right now, and we're in advance of this APM nonsense deadline, we know that the bomber planes have left.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: We know that the articles have been filed.
[SPEAKER_09]: We know that there are protesters in Iran who are putting themselves bodily on in places where these things would have to...
[SPEAKER_11]: Lessons.
[SPEAKER_11]: People are doing the things that they can do when and where they can do them.
[SPEAKER_09]: And we just have to continue.
[SPEAKER_09]: I just, it's easy to be despondent.
[SPEAKER_09]: I've certainly fallen into despair for a lot of today.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a hard, it's a heavy day.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: But I also think that there is, there are some glimmers of hope.
[SPEAKER_09]: And the biggest hope of all is that this person in the White House is such a giant chicken filling the land.
[SPEAKER_09]: But we can do this in the after hours.
[SPEAKER_09]: that I do hope that he that there's some flicker of sense still in that putting brain of his where he realizes this is this is not how he wants to be remembered as as the the the murderer of Iran the genocider of Iran there's there's the thing of each and every individual member of the U.S. military member of the services.
[SPEAKER_12]: And it would have to be more than one, because there's the two key thing with the nuclear weapons for us if you don't know there's a key key.
[SPEAKER_02]: But there could be like soft nuclear weapons that they can drop without that.
[SPEAKER_12]: But even them, the person who is pressing the button on their control stick or their firing board for that.
[SPEAKER_12]: If you are a member of the U.S. No, this is why we, this is why I.
[SPEAKER_12]: My Kelly did what he did exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's why all the members of Congress who stood up and said that.
[SPEAKER_12]: And it's why when we had Glenn Kirchner in last fall and we asked the question, we put it out on the YouTube, we reposted it today on our social media.
[SPEAKER_12]: when an illegal order is given, it is your responsibility to not follow the illegal order.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is a 100% your responsibility to not follow it.
[SPEAKER_12]: And nuclear weapons, one of those things where unless somebody has overwhelmingly attacked you, like for example, with Pearl Harbor when the Japanese did that,
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, that's the justification that they used for dropping the nukes on Japan.
[SPEAKER_12]: They said, well, they did that.
[SPEAKER_12]: So, find it.
[SPEAKER_12]: We have not had any type of justification like that from a ran.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, no, and here's the worst part.
[SPEAKER_09]: Here is the worst part of all this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Donald Trump wants to get to the status
[SPEAKER_09]: The better solution, the one where he chicken's out, is also one where Iran comes out way more power stronger than they ever were.
[SPEAKER_09]: His best option is to un-categorically lose.
[SPEAKER_09]: And we also know that as much as Trump loves to check it out, he hates to unca- to be in escapably labeled a loser.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, I mean, this is this is why it scares me.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's in a corner and his ego and of his own making and his ego and everything else, like it's a rat in a corner, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and that's why he's
[SPEAKER_12]: In the news on tap today that literally talks about that in the second round from David Graham over the Atlantic.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's a free gift link you guys can read that when Trump feels cornered.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's when he's in most inflammatory remarks come out.
[SPEAKER_12]: But I do remember from all business my dad used to do with Chinese business people.
[SPEAKER_12]: This is one of these things in 8,000 years of written history in China.
[SPEAKER_12]: They have a long and we're not going to even, you know, this is post-pictographic.
[SPEAKER_12]: There's more that even goes further back than that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Which is why there is a whole field of diplomacy that they have basically the the easy way to say this save face It's a way for and and people who are experts in diplomas They know these kinds of things ways to make losses appear like a win one of which is the declare victory and get out
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he could have done that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he couldn't have done that.
[SPEAKER_12]: But I'm just hoping that they also have people like that.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I know that they exist over there in Iran to be the same thing that you have to have people on both sides convincing the leader to
[SPEAKER_12]: do a safe face action and make it look like you won and don't be too hard and and don't don't be I won the other guy lost be like I won but you know we let the other guy off
[SPEAKER_09]: The two problems with that are we've spent the last year plus on the U.S. side getting rid of every jag lawyer getting rid of every state diploma diplomat getting rid of everyone in the federal government who generates Donald Trump and we've spent the last six weeks sniping everyone in Iran who could say yes to that deal on last year and the generals that that that P hexeth keeps wanting to fire and has fired.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I'm sure there are very good reasons for them being fired fired other than their race in gender.
[SPEAKER_09]: Just I don't know what you're talking about.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what my cat says.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she just presented to you.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, shout a shout her butt.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yes, that's that's that's her opinion of that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Which we always look, I mean, you know, that's that's Pete Kegret.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's our general position on Pete Kegret as well.
[SPEAKER_12]: So I'm not saying he's an A whole.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm just saying he's an A whole.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh no, A-hills are much better than he is.
[SPEAKER_09]: They have a purpose.
[SPEAKER_09]: We just saw the cat.
[SPEAKER_02]: She has a much better one.
[SPEAKER_02]: was having purpose Sean speaking of a holes.
[SPEAKER_12]: Wow we can move on from that to some of the other a whole things because obviously we're not going to, you know, diagnose it from where we're sitting in the bar tonight.
[SPEAKER_12]: But it does show, you know, it's the old my Angelou phrase of when they show you who they are believe them exactly in the third rounded Republicans can't govern well the Trump administration budget from hell.
[SPEAKER_12]: is Joe Biden has been since he got in to the US Senate.
[SPEAKER_12]: He's always said, your budget shows that your values have always been big about that.
[SPEAKER_12]: And the Trump regime's new proposed $1.7 trillion military budget includes a slash fund.
[SPEAKER_12]: for their friends.
[SPEAKER_09]: The very least that Republicans and Democrats can get behind is saying not one penny.
[SPEAKER_09]: They want this $200 billion be billion with a B supplemental for war in Iran.
[SPEAKER_09]: Congress can put a stop to this.
[SPEAKER_09]: This they can stop to it very, very quickly.
[SPEAKER_12]: They must put a stop.
[SPEAKER_12]: and look and and for all those of you who's experienced the wonderfulness of being in an airport way longer than you would likely.
[SPEAKER_12]: The Trupper administration in their new budget also is proposing to cut 9400 TSA workers a lot of them have already left so it's the point.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, because they want to privatize it so they can give that money to their friends, Jody, because, you know, being corrupt isn't anything without giving your friends the money to you.
[SPEAKER_12]: When Republicans say government doesn't work, it's a promise.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_12]: Jared, right?
[SPEAKER_12]: Look, we got at least one more round here on this Tuesday night.
[SPEAKER_12]: We have the wonderful Jared Rizzy hanging out with us.
[SPEAKER_12]: You got Jody Hampton.
[SPEAKER_12]: You got me Sean Smith Pierce and we have you as well.
[SPEAKER_12]: Remember, if you like the bar, tell people about it.
[SPEAKER_12]: You can tell them online or you can go get something from the politics bar store where you're favorite gear and tell everybody that you like being here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: Another round with Jared Rizzy on this Tuesday night when we come back, hang on.
[SPEAKER_07]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let's go on this Tuesday night, here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: Thank you so much.
[SPEAKER_12]: Everybody, look, if you missed any of this wonderful time we had.
[SPEAKER_12]: We had Dr. Grammarine earlier.
[SPEAKER_12]: We got Jared Rizzy here now.
[SPEAKER_12]: If you missed any of this, don't worry about it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Now you're listening on the radio.
[SPEAKER_12]: You got things to do.
[SPEAKER_12]: You got life.
[SPEAKER_12]: The best thing you can do is also subscribe.
[SPEAKER_12]: politics bar.com $6 a month.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's a buck 50 a week in months like this where there's more than four weeks.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's technically, anyway, look, it's a buck 50 week, $6 a month, get to the podcast ad for you.
[SPEAKER_12]: It gets you the news on tap, which is really good.

[SPEAKER_12]: And it gets you the drink of the day with the recipe.
[SPEAKER_12]: So that way, when you do have an event in your post
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay, I can add it's there at the politics bar.com.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is the end of the evening, which weren't glad that you are hanging with us, Jared, because this is, it does, it does tie your tongue and make you just astounded sometimes.
[SPEAKER_12]: The comparison of what's going on with the Artemis 2 mission.
[SPEAKER_09]: I love the fact we have the best things we do as a country and some of the worst things we do.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: All in one day.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, that's just it.
[SPEAKER_12]: The contrast is so huge.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, the astronauts named a moon crater after Reed Weissman, he's mission commander, after his wife who died from cancer.
[SPEAKER_12]: That was really kick ass.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's beautiful.
[SPEAKER_02]: After they listened to the dark side of the moon by Pink Floyd, then they did that.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I'm like, this is great.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, it's wonderful, but yet at the same time, you've got a monster down here and monsters that are playing along with him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so many.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, I was thinking about the last time I really had kind of an emotional response.
[SPEAKER_09]: Do you guys remember the Canadian astronaut Chris had field and he was also just one of those communicators who in addition to being an incredible scientist was also he did a version of Bowie's space out of the that was really beautiful.
[SPEAKER_09]: He talked I just I would just see him and if you can
[SPEAKER_09]: and not feel moved by the power of human endeavor, by the power of human ingenuity.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I see this, this Artemis too and it's, it's a shame that it's been hard to get excited about both because of what the government is also doing with our tax dollars, but also because of how they've just mangled the public address, this is one of the most, this is the most diverse crew ever in NASA history.
[SPEAKER_12]: But he's true.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's wise man.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's not going to be an idiot, you know?
[SPEAKER_09]: I've heard and this is in keeping with our South Pacific theme.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's a wonderful guy.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm going to keep on.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just going to keep doing it.
[SPEAKER_12]: I like your reputation.
[SPEAKER_12]: As a fellow theater kid, I am totally down for you doing that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'm good with that.
[SPEAKER_12]: But there is, as Jared mentioned, we also have that news on tap today that is part of the third round in the Trump admin budget from hell.
[SPEAKER_12]: So even as NASA is achieving one of its greatest achievement in decades, the Trump regime, they want to slash NASA's budget because, you know, that's, well, it's math and science.
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you think of it?
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, Jody, and if you want more money for it, congratulations.
[SPEAKER_12]: They're also slashing the IRS so that way, the rich people can get away with being criminals and stealing because, you know,
[SPEAKER_09]: wild how white collar crime has been under prosecuted under this administration the IRS had targeted something like 6,000, 6 to 7,000 ultra wealthy individuals for for prosecution say hey there's a lot of irregularities here we're going to follow up they ended up doing about 3,000 this year.
[SPEAKER_09]: The Trump administration is targeting about 2,000 next year.
[SPEAKER_09]: They had seen the push during Obama and Biden years to essentially give the IRS some teeth and Republicans talked about the weaponization of the IRS, the weaponization of the Department of Justice.
[SPEAKER_09]: if Democrats can't put the mirror and hold it up to Republicans faces and it doesn't you know, they may not have to.
[SPEAKER_09]: This looks like it's going to be a very good midterm year for Democrats, but they have to talk about the way in which Republicans have just taken the teeth and claws that have every method of accountability in the federal government.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the way that they positive it to a regular folks is they're coming after you.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all you.
[SPEAKER_02]: You just W 2 guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're just coming after the W 2 guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, they're not.
[SPEAKER_02]: Trust me.
[SPEAKER_12]: And if they cared about the one after the Charlie Kushner's of the world, guys, if they had if they cared about the W 2 folks, they would have left the free IRS file.
[SPEAKER_12]: Thank you in activation.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I can't even get a W one.
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay, I'm not talking about the election returns, because obviously, if you want to make a like, I don't know $6,000 a year right now.
[SPEAKER_12]: So yeah, we're not we're if you would like to help subscribe with Paul please please please please please
[SPEAKER_12]: but look, there are elections.
[SPEAKER_12]: There are races in the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
[SPEAKER_12]: The Georgia Rungoff for Marjorie Chandler Greensey.
[SPEAKER_12]: We are hoping that that would be fun.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: We are hoping Sean Harris pulls that off.
[SPEAKER_12]: Elections to today happened in Wisconsin.
[SPEAKER_12]: Alaska.
[SPEAKER_12]: I think it last one might still be going on.
[SPEAKER_12]: It should be.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Arizona, Georgia, Missouri, and Oklahoma, even down to the school board level.
[SPEAKER_12]: We have the government, especially, yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: Look, the important thing is that you guys get involved and look in the polling and politics section that's part of the fourth round today.
[SPEAKER_12]: it's pretty obvious.
[SPEAKER_12]: There's a new pollout that says 84% of Democrats and 55% of independence.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's support impeaching Trump again for a whole bunch of reasons.
[SPEAKER_12]: And mostly they're like, Oh, I hadn't done that.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's a good one.
[SPEAKER_12]: We're going to pitch it for that one.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, that would be good.
[SPEAKER_02]: So many.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I'll just say for people who are participating in the elections today, the primaries, wherever you are, specials, wherever you are, you know, it's, again, it's a really heavy day, you're participating in democracy, if nuclear winter starts to happen while you're in line.
[SPEAKER_02]: Stay in line.
[SPEAKER_09]: Stay in line.
[SPEAKER_02]: Stay in line.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're both correct.
[SPEAKER_02]: Alaska stay in line.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: But like the fact of the matter is they are still trying things.
[SPEAKER_12]: We have this a little bit further down in the polling politics section.
[SPEAKER_12]: Republican Governor Kelly Ayat, who remember her security guy pulled a guy out of the car the other day.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, Jean, he played Jean on, he plays Jean on Bob's burgers and she helped.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to disparate her for that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Good for her.
[SPEAKER_12]: She just signed into law a new law in New Hampshire where they used to be able to, if you had a student ID and they have requirements that basically match up with your driver's license.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_12]: Now, if you were that, they're trying to make it harder for college students in New Hampshire to be able to.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I don't think you have, you have Jenny, is his actual name.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if he's a lot of vote because he's a Russian
[SPEAKER_12]: I'll just as true that the guy who does the voice over for Bob Spursman, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you remember his name is Russian, you's Jevny or something like that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Then there's, then there's DeSantis down in Florida, who we know doesn't love people voting.
[SPEAKER_12]: Sign a new law in Florida, giving state officials the power to label groups as terrorists and then expel the supporters of those groups if they're students.
[SPEAKER_09]: Finally, finally, what we need to do is give Florida power to tell me who's a terrorist.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: I want the people.
[SPEAKER_09]: I want the people trying to hump an alligator telling me who's the terrorist.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hey, look, why do you think we used to spell it?
[SPEAKER_12]: Florida.
[SPEAKER_12]: Just say.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's Florida.
[SPEAKER_09]: Wow, yeah, sounds like sounds like every member of my family saying that I swear it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a Florida.
[SPEAKER_02]: I swear it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Look, one of the last words, I've mostly gotten rid of a New York accent after years of bloodshed.
[SPEAKER_09]: And Florida, it still gets me.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's still.
[SPEAKER_12]: Especially South Florida is New York South.
[SPEAKER_12]: I know this from what I lived down there for three and a half years West Palm Beach.
[SPEAKER_12]: And, I mean, like, look, some of the best bagels I've ever had in bagels joints down there, they have fantastic, but New York Dellies in South Florida.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you have good water because water matters when you're making a bagel.
[SPEAKER_02]: It just matters.
[SPEAKER_12]: It does.
[SPEAKER_12]: You know?
[SPEAKER_12]: You almost make me think Randy is in the room.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can do Randy.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's six after.
[SPEAKER_12]: What?
[SPEAKER_10]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_10]: But that's the whole thing, isn't it?
[SPEAKER_09]: I didn't judge he had that.
[SPEAKER_10]: I didn't do she I didn't do she my real plans really good.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're not the only one with the intertallence But it is it's important people people do Well played back this out the civic
[SPEAKER_12]: It's important that people do, it's one of the reasons we had Dr. Grammar here earlier, Jared, is that we had him in here because all of this stuff makes people crazy.
[SPEAKER_12]: It makes them want to pull out their hair and be like, and yet we have to be in community with each other.
[SPEAKER_12]: To be, community is not just a show.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's not just a group of people.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's people in action.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's people talking to each other and working towards something.
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, it's it's great if you belong to an elk's club or your church, your synagogue, your mosque or whatever book club.
[SPEAKER_12]: Great.
[SPEAKER_12]: Those things are fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wine club.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, look wine.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let's go.
[SPEAKER_12]: Although we prefer to come to the bar.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, yeah, uh, but it's my thought this was wine, but we can have a wine club in the bar.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, that's not that's that's that's W one or one.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's that's why I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry to brought you by Sean.
[SPEAKER_10]: I didn't start that you didn't.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know, but I could absolutely blame it for you.
[SPEAKER_09]: And who's going to who won't believe me?
[SPEAKER_10]: I got you back, Jared, I got you back.
[SPEAKER_12]: I got you back.
[SPEAKER_12]: The fact is, I think it's important that we all stay active.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's one of the reasons why I'm hoping that people still get involved with the Mayday protest.
[SPEAKER_12]: Coming up, you guys can Google that.
[SPEAKER_12]: Obviously, we'll see if maybe we can get some of our friends from invisible back.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's important that
[SPEAKER_12]: you're working to, and even if the work is simply like Dr. Grammer said earlier tonight, if the work is simply opening a door for somebody, being polite, saying thank you.
[SPEAKER_12]: Work on making sure that, yes, Donald is, whether or not it's because of his age and his physical health, Donald is not mentally healthy.
[SPEAKER_12]: I think we can all agree with that.
[SPEAKER_12]: And we all need to be healthy.
[SPEAKER_12]: Because a people who are around him who are letting him do whatever the damn hell he wants, they're also not mentally healthy.
[SPEAKER_12]: Many of them are probably scared for their lives if not their jobs.
[SPEAKER_12]: You're going to call to scary.
[SPEAKER_12]: Do you think it's, well, yeah, do you think it's true that Bondi actually was like crying and like tugging it Donald to, to, to.
[SPEAKER_02]: Apparently, fired her in the limo going to scotus.
[SPEAKER_10]: which is, that's cool.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, it all sounds like, hey, Geography, it sounds like the kind of story he would tell.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm just inclined to believe it because it makes him look good.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it also wouldn't surprise me because, I mean, you know, you know, in the, on the apprentice apparently in the limo.
[SPEAKER_12]: what's coming in from what people are saying with the the oversight committee on the hill.
[SPEAKER_12]: If that's, um, it looks like the acting AG is still trying to say, oh, well, they're going to try to take care of it.
[SPEAKER_12]: And there are enough of those people on the committee, your Nancy Maces, and you're still got here.
[SPEAKER_12]: We're going, uh, aw, sweet cheeks.
[SPEAKER_12]: Now, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, we heard her answer the question from actual lawyers.
[SPEAKER_12]: So, and even if they say, there's some things you can't say, there's a whole bunch of stuff that goes back to when
[SPEAKER_09]: flower that she can 100% answer and she's going to be sweaty can she has to answer these questions because we're at a point right now where the the case is too wide open there are so many people who are implicated justice right and I'll say to you about the bigger question that you're posing here Sean is that you know when the dust settles no matter how much nuclear fallout is part of it
[SPEAKER_09]: I think what what we all know and this is bet based on also what Dr. Grammar was saying the first hours we have to build something better together.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have to do advanced citizenship.
[SPEAKER_09]: We have to do that together because we can't let the genus idle threats of Donald Trump be the last word on America.
[SPEAKER_12]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hey man.
[SPEAKER_12]: Hey look can we can we hang your over for one more round and talk more by this is an enchanted evening.
[SPEAKER_12]: I had a check box.
[SPEAKER_09]: I had to do that one.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh man, Jared with all the theater references.
[SPEAKER_12]: Who will have more of that look?
[SPEAKER_12]: We're coming over.
[SPEAKER_12]: We're going over to the after hours at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: So for those of you who are on our great radio affiliates, look, we love you.
[SPEAKER_12]: Just slide on over to the politics bar.com.

[SPEAKER_12]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, that would be pretty great too.
[SPEAKER_12]: Look, but we will see them then.
