00:27.457 --> 00:28.978
[SPEAKER_04]: And you know, sometimes it's timing.

00:29.198 --> 00:31.000
[SPEAKER_04]: It's sometimes you'd always have the best.

00:32.319 --> 00:32.699

01:49.455 --> 01:56.557
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't seen Tommy in a year, but you know what's the sweet about Tommy Morello is that I hadn't seen him in years, right?

01:57.597 --> 02:03.779
[SPEAKER_01]: And when I met him, he was in a band called Lockup, which was a great band, go look them up kids, amazing best, especially live.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my God, they were so good.

[SPEAKER_01]: And then they broke up for reasons.

02:08.440 --> 02:09.560
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he started rage.

02:10.520 --> 02:15.121
[SPEAKER_01]: And I ran into him at this place where my sister carrying, I used to go.

02:15.221 --> 02:16.342
[SPEAKER_01]: We knew everybody that

02:19.603 --> 02:20.843
[SPEAKER_04]: He cut the line, that's fine.

02:20.863 --> 02:24.645
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, you know, it's your journey Hamilton, your Joe's daughter and Carol's daughter.

02:24.685 --> 02:26.566

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

02:27.167 --> 02:27.367
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

02:27.387 --> 02:27.927
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, there's that.

02:28.888 --> 02:31.329
[SPEAKER_01]: Knowing people that work at places is the key to go.

02:31.929 --> 02:34.571
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, and we'd been there, we'd been going there forever.

02:34.651 --> 02:37.712
[SPEAKER_01]: So it wasn't like, you know, and so we're in line.

02:37.973 --> 02:40.714
[SPEAKER_01]: And we, everybody goes, yeah, go ahead.

02:41.234 --> 02:45.617
[SPEAKER_01]: And so as he was like two or three people waiting to get in.

02:46.197 --> 02:46.397
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

02:48.453 --> 02:51.796
[SPEAKER_01]: And he goes, Jody, I mean, it was real bad.

02:51.816 --> 02:54.118
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, you remember me as a porcelain, too.

02:54.258 --> 02:58.161
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was just like, the sweetest, he's the nicest.

02:58.181 --> 02:59.542
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm not remembering you.

02:59.582 --> 03:02.285
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, honey, I always introduced myself to people I've known for 50 years.

03:02.645 --> 03:05.327
[SPEAKER_01]: But he was just like,

03:06.648 --> 03:14.171
[SPEAKER_01]: Hi, and hugs, and everybody behind me was like, how do you know that guy, and Carrie's like, oh, yeah, remember that band?

03:14.591 --> 03:17.812
[SPEAKER_01]: I took you to the whiskey to sit, oh my god, hi, Carrie, Tommy, Tommy, care.

03:18.032 --> 03:18.872
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it was a hole.

03:20.893 --> 03:28.575
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope I don't know I have not seen him, and this was in the night, whenever the band, it just started to become big.

03:28.595 --> 03:30.356
[SPEAKER_01]: So probably the mid 90s.

03:30.556 --> 03:32.496
[SPEAKER_04]: Mid late 90s, something like that.

03:32.837 --> 03:33.897
[SPEAKER_01]: So he was famous.

03:34.792 --> 03:38.877
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, he wasn't like it now, but it would be, it would be, it would be, it would be cool.

03:38.917 --> 03:40.018
[SPEAKER_04]: Just, you know, we're like, hey, what's up?

03:40.619 --> 03:43.843
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, if I saw Brian Grill of his old singer, I think Brian would be the same.

03:44.003 --> 03:48.308
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, here's the funny thing is that we're talking about, you know, fun artists and fun people.

03:48.788 --> 03:50.590
[SPEAKER_04]: There's this event that's supposed to be here in D.C.

03:52.172 --> 03:56.875
[SPEAKER_04]: Have you seen the comparison pictures of the overhead of the White House, the White House late used to be?

03:56.995 --> 03:58.275
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my god, it's disgusting.

03:58.956 --> 04:02.437
[SPEAKER_04]: And then now it looks like white trash, redneck affair with the whole.

04:02.457 --> 04:05.099
[SPEAKER_01]: We shouldn't say white trash, it just looks tacky and trashy.

04:05.979 --> 04:08.201
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh no, I'm totally willing to say white trash.

04:08.441 --> 04:12.203
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you know, it's racist against white people.

04:13.664 --> 04:17.645
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no, I mean, that's that's what I thought because I'm like, yeah, that's not against them.

04:17.685 --> 04:19.245
[SPEAKER_04]: But it's a hillbilly trash, whatever.

04:19.305 --> 04:36.670
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you know, I mean, the fact of the matter is, that's the kind of thing where you look at and you immediately go, okay, well, they're family tree looks like a telephone pole and I mean, it's just like, and he wants the ballroom because it's going to be safe, but he's inviting people from the public to come into the White House in an open area.

04:37.280 --> 04:37.700
[SPEAKER_04]: Mm-hmm.

04:37.780 --> 04:38.841
[SPEAKER_04]: Jojo posted about it.

04:38.861 --> 04:46.728
[SPEAKER_04]: I think she said something on Stephanie this morning about the same thing of, okay, so you want the ballroom for protection.

04:46.768 --> 04:55.715
[SPEAKER_04]: And yet you're willing to put up basically a circus tent on the lawn and invite any idiot who wants to come watch this, you pay enough money.

04:56.475 --> 04:56.695
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

04:56.936 --> 05:02.700
[SPEAKER_01]: And any idiot that can pay enough money can bring a gun, a plastic one, kids, I mean, this is a thing.

05:03.301 --> 05:05.743
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, especially, yeah, it's just, it's ridiculous, I think.

05:06.571 --> 05:11.448
[SPEAKER_04]: Anyway, DC is going to be a circus this summer, which, you know, more than, more than usual.

05:12.326 --> 05:14.607
[SPEAKER_04]: So we'll talk about the entertainment stuff, by the way.

05:15.288 --> 05:15.648
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.

05:15.708 --> 05:19.370
[SPEAKER_04]: By the way, for all those of you who have subscribed to the politics bar down here.

05:19.390 --> 05:21.471
[SPEAKER_04]: Can you get your podcast or get the news on tap?

05:21.511 --> 05:23.232
[SPEAKER_04]: And the news on tap is full today.

05:24.593 --> 05:27.314
[SPEAKER_04]: Full failure, full of flailing around.

05:27.874 --> 05:33.297
[SPEAKER_04]: We don't know what it is at this time, because it's been kind of a, well, you know, given that it's Donald Trump.

05:33.317 --> 05:37.119
[SPEAKER_04]: It's been like a game show, deal or no deal.

05:37.479 --> 05:38.480
[SPEAKER_01]: It's real that.

05:38.840 --> 05:40.521
[SPEAKER_04]: He did that, by the way, he did that once.

05:42.734 --> 06:04.602
[SPEAKER_04]: I was I was this close to pulling a picture from the deal or no deal, but it didn't really have a logo as bad quality whatever, but um, so last check, Iranian U.S. have been trading an MOU, a memorandum of understanding that's what managers and agents do, basically it's to production, we're going to make a deal.

06:05.752 --> 06:25.920
[SPEAKER_04]: but we haven't made it but but this is officially something it says that we're going it's like a legal promis ring i promise yeah i mean i've written m o use i've been a part of an m o u and it's just like a k until that's until we have the contract we're trying to jump with the promis ring i was trying to with an engagement ring

06:27.346 --> 06:27.706
[SPEAKER_04]: correct.

06:28.086 --> 06:34.288
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I wouldn't trust him with an engagement or marketing or contract or the presidency, which I didn't so.

06:34.589 --> 06:49.014
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, so supposedly if they get this deal given information that's leaked out, it would extend the ceasefire, which according to what has been on Israel are doing in their part of the war is not really a ceasefire.

06:50.094 --> 06:58.341
[SPEAKER_04]: or actually with U.S. because they were trading strikes last night, um, so U.S. Donnie just tried to bully his way through with some ships around fire.

06:58.381 --> 06:59.202
[SPEAKER_04]: They fired back.

06:59.302 --> 06:59.942
[SPEAKER_04]: We fired back.

06:59.982 --> 07:00.843
[SPEAKER_04]: They fired a Kuwait.

07:00.903 --> 07:03.485
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like we said it before.

07:03.505 --> 07:05.387
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a ceasefire is a legal term.

07:06.708 --> 07:13.133
[SPEAKER_04]: So it means it's not all out war, but it's still just this whole thing is so stupid.

07:14.565 --> 07:19.149
[SPEAKER_04]: And did you hear how he's getting his briefings about this ridiculous with pictures?

07:19.829 --> 07:22.411
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, we've already knew that.

07:22.771 --> 07:25.994
[SPEAKER_04]: He's basically getting, we thought that that was kind of a joke, though.

07:26.054 --> 07:27.375
[SPEAKER_01]: No, he only wants good news.

07:27.955 --> 07:29.777
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we actually have a story on that, too.

07:30.137 --> 07:33.400
[SPEAKER_04]: All these stories right here in the first round of the news on tap.

07:33.780 --> 07:35.661
[SPEAKER_04]: And while at wartime fallout section,

07:37.893 --> 07:46.081
[SPEAKER_04]: New investigation shows Pentagon staffers have been under severe pressure to sanitize reports about the Iran War and give Trump good news instead of honest reports.

07:46.902 --> 07:48.343
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not how you'd govern.

07:49.184 --> 07:58.052
[SPEAKER_04]: Especially, you know, probably economically speaking, one of if not the most powerful country in the world, which also happens to have nukes.

07:58.292 --> 08:02.696
[SPEAKER_04]: That's not, you know, if you can't take the truth, you shouldn't be in the job.

08:02.917 --> 08:03.077
[SPEAKER_04]: No.

08:03.914 --> 08:07.916
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's, it's, okay, most people don't like the word no.

08:09.276 --> 08:10.276
[SPEAKER_04]: Sure, understandable.

08:10.316 --> 08:10.937
[SPEAKER_01]: Understandable.

08:11.777 --> 08:17.659
[SPEAKER_01]: But in a position like that, but no is a very important thing to hear.

08:17.679 --> 08:18.559
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.

08:19.600 --> 08:24.302
[SPEAKER_04]: No, sir, if you happen to do that, it will annihilate everything on the planet, and even you will die.

08:25.922 --> 08:26.763
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I'm sure.

08:26.803 --> 08:27.703
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a bunker.

08:29.966 --> 08:32.129
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's, that's his whole ball room strategy.

08:32.169 --> 08:33.571
[SPEAKER_04]: It's more of a bunker strategy.

08:33.711 --> 08:37.436
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's how he, if he makes it to 29, that he will stay.

08:38.863 --> 09:05.143
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even think this stupid ballroom will be up and right now that's something that gigantic I mean I My dad and my mom bought property in 1973 In LA here and I'll say in Okay, so we're here and My dad hired this architect his favorite architect and built his dream home.

09:06.324 --> 09:07.045
[SPEAKER_01]: It took three years

09:08.042 --> 09:09.712
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't 90,000 square feet.

09:10.863 --> 09:14.065
[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't have a bunker underneath that had to be fortified.

09:14.425 --> 09:15.625
[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't have any of that.

09:15.966 --> 09:18.987
[SPEAKER_04]: So didn't have to meet national security standards.

09:19.007 --> 09:21.028
[SPEAKER_01]: No, all sorts of things did not have to be met.

09:21.068 --> 09:24.090
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, building codes in the 70s and all that had to be met.

09:24.170 --> 09:26.131
[SPEAKER_01]: But it still took three years.

09:26.431 --> 09:28.632
[SPEAKER_01]: We moved in May 16th, 1976.

09:28.672 --> 09:29.533
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember vividly.

09:30.053 --> 09:30.753
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.

09:30.953 --> 09:34.735
[SPEAKER_01]: And so yeah, I have pictures of it being built.

09:35.716 --> 09:37.237
[SPEAKER_01]: And I remember it.

09:37.357 --> 09:39.858
[SPEAKER_01]: I was six when it started and nine when it finished.

09:40.158 --> 09:57.362
[SPEAKER_04]: This is one of the reasons why people who, you know, when we joke and we call this stuff half fascism, when Barack Obama came in and when Joe Biden came in and things, they got things rolling.

09:58.202 --> 10:00.843
[SPEAKER_04]: They brought in a lot of people, some of whom they didn't agree with.

10:01.143 --> 10:02.263
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's the way you govern.

10:03.440 --> 10:12.546
[SPEAKER_04]: but they brought in those people because those people knew how to operate those parts of the giant enormous huge ass machine that is the U.S. government.

10:12.606 --> 10:13.027
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

10:13.067 --> 10:14.448
[SPEAKER_04]: So that they could immediately go.

10:15.472 --> 10:22.038
[SPEAKER_04]: dude, dude, move the lever and press the button and do the worldly gig and whatever, because you have to know how the machine works.

10:22.198 --> 10:23.419
[SPEAKER_04]: It is a gigantic machine.

10:24.019 --> 10:26.962
[SPEAKER_04]: It is a, like we were talking with Bob here last night at the bar.

10:27.282 --> 10:29.324
[SPEAKER_04]: It is a, you know, there's technology.

10:29.924 --> 10:31.226
[SPEAKER_04]: And there's society.

10:31.286 --> 10:33.207
[SPEAKER_04]: And it is a social machine.

10:33.367 --> 10:34.548
[SPEAKER_04]: That is a social machine.

10:35.529 --> 10:35.649
[SPEAKER_04]: And

10:36.530 --> 10:38.011
[SPEAKER_04]: You need people who know how to operate it.

10:38.511 --> 10:43.595
[SPEAKER_04]: Trump, more this time than last time, came in with people who didn't know would didn't care.

10:43.635 --> 10:46.537
[SPEAKER_04]: They came in with sledge hammers at best.

10:47.217 --> 10:50.079
[SPEAKER_04]: But the machine is so much more vast.

10:50.859 --> 10:51.880
[SPEAKER_04]: Why do we have government?

10:52.928 --> 10:56.030
[SPEAKER_04]: We have government to do the things for us that we cannot do.

10:56.070 --> 10:56.450
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.

10:56.510 --> 10:58.511
[SPEAKER_01]: And private business can't do for ourselves.

10:58.671 --> 11:00.652
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just right.

11:00.792 --> 11:03.773
[SPEAKER_04]: It does the things that you may have a big business like Disney.

11:03.813 --> 11:04.674
[SPEAKER_04]: We were talking about business.

11:04.694 --> 11:05.174
[SPEAKER_04]: Huge business.

11:05.654 --> 11:08.075
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, but there are still lots of things that Disney cannot do.

11:08.295 --> 11:08.516
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

11:09.836 --> 11:13.618
[SPEAKER_04]: Even with the bajillions of dollars they have, there are lots of things that they cannot do.

11:13.758 --> 11:16.539
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, you know, do a war with a foreign country.

11:17.840 --> 11:21.642
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's been over 50 billion dollars thus far.

11:22.953 --> 11:49.782
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, but we can't have snap and we can't have health care and we, I mean, but we can, we found the money for that I've always been the person going cutting taxes for people that don't need their taxes cut right you're raising taxes for people that need their taxes cut and in the interim you're cutting services for people that need them but war awesome.

11:52.946 --> 12:01.971
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, and he's doing things like, these are these are ways that you know that tell tail signs, brown M&Ms for those of you who know the whole Van Halen story.

12:02.431 --> 12:11.216
[SPEAKER_04]: For example, Donald Trump was pushing the Middle Eastern countries, yes, some of them are rather, you know, you've got a sign on the Abraham Accords.

12:11.696 --> 12:13.356
[SPEAKER_04]: He got a lot of them already to sign.

12:14.077 --> 12:15.957
[SPEAKER_04]: So half of them were like, dude, we already signed.

12:16.037 --> 12:19.278
[SPEAKER_04]: And the other half are like, we are nowhere close to signing.

12:19.318 --> 12:21.838
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe someday in a couple thousand years we might sign.

12:21.898 --> 12:22.119
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

12:22.559 --> 12:24.319
[SPEAKER_04]: We're not going to sign them now.

12:25.139 --> 12:27.940
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's been something that everybody over there's been like, that's great.

12:28.040 --> 12:31.641
[SPEAKER_04]: Everybody who would sign did, everybody who else is not, they won't.

12:31.741 --> 12:32.401
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's fine.

12:33.841 --> 12:34.502
[SPEAKER_04]: And dumbass.

12:35.362 --> 12:36.182
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you got a sign.

12:37.877 --> 12:40.098
[SPEAKER_04]: You've got a whole lot of other things involved.

12:40.678 --> 12:47.801
[SPEAKER_04]: You want soft news about the war and you want people to sign this thing that you haven't even really, oh, God, there's...

12:48.361 --> 12:51.082
[SPEAKER_04]: Anyway, look, long and short dealer no deal.

12:51.322 --> 12:54.223
[SPEAKER_04]: The war is still kind of half-ass and it's still going on, so...

12:54.603 --> 12:55.744
[SPEAKER_01]: He just wants his board.

12:56.543 --> 12:56.843
[SPEAKER_01]: He is.

12:57.083 --> 12:58.624
[SPEAKER_01]: And he wants to bring a new war in Cuba.

12:58.684 --> 12:59.084
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.

12:59.124 --> 13:00.205
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like seriously dude.

13:00.585 --> 13:04.747
[SPEAKER_04]: And the Cubans are like, dude, we got nothing, but if you want it, bring it.

13:05.068 --> 13:07.829
[SPEAKER_04]: Which never pick a fight with a Cuban just saying.

13:08.189 --> 13:10.290
[SPEAKER_01]: I also, they have Putin on their side.

13:10.430 --> 13:10.711
[SPEAKER_01]: So.

13:11.091 --> 13:11.591
[SPEAKER_01]: And China.

13:11.731 --> 13:12.612
[SPEAKER_01]: And China.

13:12.712 --> 13:13.912
[SPEAKER_01]: Seriously, that's, that's.

13:14.633 --> 13:16.974
[SPEAKER_04]: That may be, that may be what prevents Donald from doing it.

13:17.014 --> 13:17.514
[SPEAKER_04]: His boss.

13:18.015 --> 13:19.415
[SPEAKER_04]: Putin going no Donald.

13:19.615 --> 13:19.836
[SPEAKER_04]: No.

13:20.256 --> 13:20.456
[SPEAKER_04]: Just.

13:21.238 --> 13:24.881
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, say, I mean, because you know, the little crisis was all about that.

13:24.901 --> 13:25.862
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.

13:26.142 --> 13:26.462
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.

13:26.522 --> 13:28.664
[SPEAKER_04]: We, look, we got a lot to talk about tonight.

13:28.864 --> 13:30.145
[SPEAKER_04]: John Fielsen is coming in.

13:30.165 --> 13:32.828
[SPEAKER_04]: We've got to talk to him about when the Republican Party went south.

13:34.149 --> 13:36.811
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just saying, well, there'll be some debate about that, obviously.

13:37.211 --> 13:39.513
[SPEAKER_04]: And also, we have a very good drink of the day.

13:39.533 --> 13:41.595
[SPEAKER_04]: This one is, uh, it's kind of a secret.

13:42.916 --> 13:45.598
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, fresh in your drink and come right back.

13:45.638 --> 13:48.641
[SPEAKER_04]: It's Thursday night with Jody and me and you, here's politics bar.

13:50.275 --> 13:54.177
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.

14:02.101 --> 14:03.701
[SPEAKER_04]: Thursday night of a short week.

14:04.182 --> 14:07.563
[SPEAKER_04]: So now we're actually kind of getting back in the normal swing of things.

14:08.124 --> 14:10.465
[SPEAKER_01]: It's something like Friday yesterday to me.

14:11.387 --> 14:15.551
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, when you have a short week, it seems like the days of the week just kind of trade.

14:15.611 --> 14:16.252
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, you want to go first?

14:16.272 --> 14:16.932
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you want to go second?

14:17.233 --> 14:17.973
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.

14:18.234 --> 14:20.916
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, all of front of my sisters would call it day transferants.

14:21.577 --> 14:22.258
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, that's right.

14:22.298 --> 14:23.078
[SPEAKER_04]: Day transferants.

14:23.118 --> 14:24.019
[SPEAKER_04]: And you know what that means.

14:24.119 --> 14:26.742
[SPEAKER_04]: Monday can always be waiting out there in the wings with a big stick.

14:27.783 --> 14:28.784
[SPEAKER_04]: Got a word of education.

14:29.044 --> 14:29.845
[SPEAKER_05]: Bulk, get anyway.

14:31.364 --> 14:37.607
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, thank you by the way to everybody who is joining us from all of our great radio affiliates and thank you to everybody who is interacting as well.

14:37.908 --> 14:42.850
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course, you can always dial us up or send us a text on that bar line 2136777258.

14:42.990 --> 14:46.332
[SPEAKER_04]: That's 213677758 or 213677 salts.

14:46.452 --> 14:52.696
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course, you're not going to reach out to us on any of our social media platforms.

14:52.736 --> 14:58.439
[SPEAKER_04]: Blue sky and threads, Instagram, Facebook, Substack, Twitter and YouTube, with the politics bar on all.

14:58.439 --> 14:58.959
[SPEAKER_04]: all of those.

14:58.999 --> 14:59.800
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you very much.

14:59.840 --> 15:04.943
[SPEAKER_04]: We have some, we have some comments, especially when the drink of the day, we'll have to have to talk about those later.

15:05.444 --> 15:08.646
[SPEAKER_04]: Phil in Seattle, by the way, on the bar line, he texts us last night.

15:08.666 --> 15:13.970
[SPEAKER_04]: He says the one thing that we know about Donald Trump is that every time he opens his mouth, he's lying.

15:13.990 --> 15:15.931
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you didn't care about the midterms.

15:16.211 --> 15:17.812
[SPEAKER_04]: You said he's true about that.

15:18.153 --> 15:19.714
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, no, he says he doesn't care about him.

15:20.174 --> 15:25.438
[SPEAKER_04]: And Phil says that's how we know that he actually does care about him because he keeps trying to rig and steal.

15:26.058 --> 15:27.419
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah, I mean, there's that.

15:28.540 --> 15:30.402
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's, you know, Phil's not wrong.

15:30.903 --> 15:31.984
[SPEAKER_04]: That is the way the Donald works.

15:32.044 --> 15:32.965
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't care about this.

15:33.545 --> 15:39.291
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course, the economy thing that we've talked about before where he said, you know, I don't care about how your economy is.

15:39.752 --> 15:42.254
[SPEAKER_04]: Clearly, that's obvious today.

15:42.274 --> 15:45.077
[SPEAKER_04]: In the second round of the news on tap and Republican failure and corruption,

15:45.738 --> 15:48.761
[SPEAKER_04]: So, Trumponomics has absolutely failed.

15:48.921 --> 15:49.782
[SPEAKER_04]: And we know this.

15:50.682 --> 15:54.085
[SPEAKER_04]: Years week, the jobless claims increased a little bit.

15:54.526 --> 15:58.769
[SPEAKER_04]: It's still mostly a low-higher, no-fire kind of the thing.

15:58.849 --> 15:59.170
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

15:59.850 --> 16:04.114
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they don't want to fire anybody right now because they're, because then they'll lose.

16:04.194 --> 16:04.975
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a whole, like,

16:05.651 --> 16:23.336
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, right, it's a it's a dancing act and it's dumb, but it it all ties back to things like inflation inflation by the way, it's an annual rate of 3.8% core inflation hits 3.3% Highest level in nearly three years and I know by the way, the first quarter GDP growth was revised down to 1.6 from 2%.

16:23.576 --> 16:28.298
[SPEAKER_01]: And when also three years ago, inflation was on his way down.

16:29.486 --> 16:30.006
[SPEAKER_04]: Johnny's right.

16:30.326 --> 16:36.468
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's under these relations now on its way on under who?

16:36.528 --> 16:37.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Joe Biden.

16:37.589 --> 16:37.929
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

16:38.029 --> 16:38.309
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

16:38.949 --> 16:39.329
[SPEAKER_01]: Joe Biden.

16:39.349 --> 16:39.829
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on.

16:39.929 --> 16:40.670
[SPEAKER_01]: Who is suing?

16:42.550 --> 16:46.752
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you're saying, yeah, Joe, Joe is who I think we had that was yesterday.

16:46.772 --> 16:47.292
[SPEAKER_04]: I think we did.

16:47.372 --> 16:48.312
[SPEAKER_01]: We didn't talk about it though.

16:48.352 --> 16:56.755
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, he's suing because the DOJ wants to release an interview that has nothing to do with anything.

16:57.347 --> 17:04.748
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, so Joe didn't interview for, I think, a book, and that was used in there.

17:04.768 --> 17:09.549
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's her stupid ass thing that they already tried to go after him about.

17:09.589 --> 17:11.750
[SPEAKER_04]: And he was like, whatever, blah, blah.

17:11.870 --> 17:17.250
[SPEAKER_01]: And he was finally seeing that the transcripts and audio from the interview with her.

17:17.270 --> 17:19.151
[SPEAKER_01]: But Mr.

17:19.191 --> 17:22.091
[SPEAKER_04]: Her, not aged, not the aged, not the aged.

17:22.591 --> 17:23.432
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, right.

17:23.652 --> 17:25.652
[SPEAKER_01]: And he was fine with releasing that because that was.

17:27.087 --> 17:28.048
[SPEAKER_01]: for public interest.

17:28.428 --> 17:32.571
[SPEAKER_01]: But his interview with a book is not my problem.

17:32.731 --> 17:33.732
[SPEAKER_04]: That was background stuff.

17:33.792 --> 17:39.376
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's just, and none of all of this goes back to the way that this Trump regime is weaponizing government.

17:39.396 --> 17:41.318
[SPEAKER_04]: We can skip down a little bit.

17:41.838 --> 17:45.621
[SPEAKER_04]: It's, I mean, part of this is actually with corruption, but it's also with the law fair.

17:45.721 --> 17:48.803
[SPEAKER_04]: So the spring announced the Trump DOJ is opening

17:55.535 --> 17:58.136
[SPEAKER_01]: I, she keeps kicking his ass.

17:58.817 --> 18:00.878
[SPEAKER_01]: She does, but she shouldn't have to deal with this.

18:01.618 --> 18:07.360
[SPEAKER_04]: No, nobody, I mean, look, the, the, the broad view six, which this is all actually tied into it.

18:07.380 --> 18:08.601
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it is.

18:09.261 --> 18:10.482
[SPEAKER_04]: Trump's revenge attack on E.T.

18:10.502 --> 18:11.942
[SPEAKER_04]: and Carol.

18:12.223 --> 18:17.205
[SPEAKER_04]: He's trying to charge her with perjury, or at least that's what the investigation is supposed to be about.

18:18.248 --> 18:19.629
[SPEAKER_04]: And we can absolutely knock this down.

18:19.749 --> 18:32.035
[SPEAKER_04]: I, you and I talked about it earlier in the day two, MS now covered it a little bit more because I think they thought that the war was going to be a big thing and then that has been flip flop, wishy wash stuff.

18:32.055 --> 18:33.095
[SPEAKER_04]: So then they went back to the E.G.

18:33.116 --> 18:33.896
[SPEAKER_04]: and Carol's story.

18:33.916 --> 18:42.060
[SPEAKER_04]: You see, and I'm covered a little bit too, anyway, I got enough details from them and a couple other people reading this morning that I got the whole skinny on what happens.

18:42.200 --> 18:42.880
[SPEAKER_04]: So here's the deal.

18:45.647 --> 19:01.034
[SPEAKER_04]: If they attempt to charge EGN care with perjury, it's really hard to prove because to secure perjury case, you must show that the person that you're accusing a perjury made a false statement with the intent to deceive.

19:01.974 --> 19:09.018
[SPEAKER_04]: So that means that they had to know the statement that they were talking about was false and they intended to deceive when they made such a statement.

19:10.338 --> 19:24.103
[SPEAKER_04]: uh... the fall statement must also be material to the case high that the fall statement must have been important enough to change the outcome of the case so here's what they're alleging that in twenty twenty two uh... e.g.

19:24.143 --> 19:34.667
[SPEAKER_04]: carol was testifying in the whole case about you know her suing trump because he's actually sold to their which he was found guilty of he was he's an adjudicated rapist joe's great

19:35.820 --> 19:50.813
[SPEAKER_04]: um she made a misstatement because she didn't know or know that there was outside funding of her legal defense uh a couple months later her lawyers notified the judge in the case that there was in fact this um and in fact actually uh who was it here?

19:50.833 --> 19:54.176
[SPEAKER_04]: I saw somebody else uh today that mentioned Joyce fans.

19:54.216 --> 19:54.797
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what it was.

19:55.757 --> 20:18.118
[SPEAKER_04]: post something about the fact that the second circuit appeals court found there was no way Eugen Carroll could have known that there was outside funding so because she couldn't know She could not have been trying to deceive because she didn't even know Yeah, if she knows she would have said yes these people are funding my Well, and if she did know and then she lied about it, there's cause but she didn't even know about it So I don't think she would have lied

20:18.698 --> 20:18.878
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

20:18.898 --> 20:19.619
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think so either.

20:19.679 --> 20:22.622
[SPEAKER_04]: But anyway, Carol's no lawyers notify the judge.

20:22.842 --> 20:24.944
[SPEAKER_04]: The judge notified Trump's lawyers.

20:25.965 --> 20:29.629
[SPEAKER_04]: They basically at first took no action and they said, hey, we want a questionnaire for an extra hour.

20:29.689 --> 20:30.630
[SPEAKER_04]: The judge said, that's fine.

20:30.650 --> 20:34.433
[SPEAKER_04]: They gave an extra questioning when the case actually went to the trial portion.

20:35.114 --> 20:38.417
[SPEAKER_01]: They tried to put it in the record and the judge said it's in material.

20:38.457 --> 20:39.318
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not probative.

20:39.498 --> 20:43.222
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no point for it because this has nothing to do with what she is doing about.

20:43.627 --> 20:45.089
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's not going to change the outcome of the case.

20:45.109 --> 20:45.509
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not.

20:45.589 --> 20:48.692
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, if I was on a dream, they said, well, she's getting outside funding.

20:48.752 --> 20:49.854
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, good for her.

20:50.434 --> 20:51.055
[SPEAKER_04]: But here's the thing.

20:51.993 --> 21:01.281
[SPEAKER_04]: So the whole basis of their potential looking into this is garbage anyway, but then it ties back to somebody we know.

21:01.961 --> 21:04.043
[SPEAKER_04]: Kat, I'm going to say one of the broad view six.

21:04.243 --> 21:09.988
[SPEAKER_04]: Remember, that case was just thrown out and it was thrown out because of prosecutorial incompetence.

21:10.569 --> 21:16.314
[SPEAKER_04]: It was so bad that it's not just an oops, it's somebody after this up badly.

21:19.297 --> 21:24.861
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, here's the guy's name, Andrew Brutrose, he's the lawyer who dropped the broad you six case.

21:25.541 --> 21:32.245
[SPEAKER_04]: He actually got dressed down by the judge for his failures in the case, because he f- things up that badly, the judge was like, no, no, no, no, no.

21:32.746 --> 21:41.051
[SPEAKER_04]: This is the douchebag who is bringing the new case, and conveniently, the Trump DOJ is trying to get the case put in Chicago where this guy lives.

21:42.014 --> 21:58.660
[SPEAKER_04]: But if you're actually going to be right, you have to file it in the jurisdiction that applies, which would be SDNY, so then District of New York, I think their reasoning is one of the people, the person that helped fund her defense lives in Illinois.

21:59.640 --> 22:03.462
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's their excuse to say, no, no, no, no, no, it's a New York case.

22:04.002 --> 22:06.843
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, it's where did the event happen?

22:06.883 --> 22:07.083
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

22:08.491 --> 22:09.732
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a New York case, kids.

22:09.832 --> 22:12.795
[SPEAKER_04]: Todd Bletch, Todd Bletch, were accused himself, quote, unquote.

22:12.835 --> 22:20.121
[SPEAKER_04]: But the fact is, is that there are people in the know who are now saying that he's got enough flunkies in the DOJ, who know what he wants to do, that this is.

22:20.261 --> 22:23.464
[SPEAKER_04]: And they're all doing it to kiss Donald's ass.

22:23.484 --> 22:30.130
[SPEAKER_04]: This is all just like with the soft news about the war, trying to blow smoke up Donald's ass.

22:30.788 --> 22:31.509
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all it is.

22:31.749 --> 22:39.314
[SPEAKER_01]: I will never understand anybody that works for Donald, that trusts that he has their back.

22:41.135 --> 22:43.357
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't understand anybody who works for Donald.

22:43.577 --> 22:45.619
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I mean, I'm not talking about that.

22:45.919 --> 22:51.663
[SPEAKER_01]: But besides that, it's like, well, Pam Bonny, a hope her cancer goes away.

22:52.263 --> 22:53.164
[SPEAKER_04]: I hope her cancer goes away.

22:53.184 --> 22:54.665
[SPEAKER_04]: We have a story in yesterday's news.

22:54.685 --> 22:58.648
[SPEAKER_01]: But the fact that she got rehired means he's got her under his thumb again.

22:59.167 --> 23:07.496
[SPEAKER_04]: He's got her in some little thing, but all one of the reasons probably that he did that is somebody talked to somebody and if she's on this thing, then I don't know.

23:07.636 --> 23:14.603
[SPEAKER_04]: One of the conditions of her being on this particular board overseeing AI may be that she gets federal healthcare because I remember she got it.

23:15.808 --> 23:39.921
[SPEAKER_04]: when she was the age but obviously you leave the job she could also go oh uh presidential immunity i can't talk um i think that's more of it than there's health care issues but there's there's all kinds of of issues about that kind of stuff i think Donald didn't doesn't care whether she has cancer or not because Donald doesn't care no but but but somebody else i mean whoever actually you know got her to agree to the deal

23:40.661 --> 23:51.747
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sure that that whoever it may have been Todd Lynch basically said, Hey, these are the conditions for you being on this board, I mean, I'm sure they made some kind of a deal because that's always on.

23:51.827 --> 23:55.649
[SPEAKER_01]: She's going to try to say I can't speak because now I work for the federal government again in bed.

23:57.110 --> 24:13.623
[SPEAKER_04]: And they won't there so her testimony tomorrow is behind closed doors there is still debate as to whether it will be under oath or not It should be whether it will be it should be under of eye hundred percent agree and it should be filmed does should that stuff be released that's I don't I don't think so unless there was a need to release it.

24:13.743 --> 24:20.928
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think so but It's not going to be she's not going to be being questioned by the members of the committee now.

24:21.088 --> 24:21.588
[SPEAKER_04]: It's great.

24:21.628 --> 24:24.471
[SPEAKER_04]: So she's going to be questioned by actual other lawyers

24:25.741 --> 24:52.317
[SPEAKER_04]: if and she doesn't know who they are right and she can't have the binders full of and i'm okay if they don't have it on video if they've got the full transcript because if it if she knows it's on video then maybe she'll play to the cameras so if it's to regular lawyers and not on video then then then she's going to have no reason to play to anybody and i'm like no whatever we just want answers that's all yeah now

24:53.080 --> 24:54.743
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the Dow is at $50,000.

24:55.324 --> 24:55.884
[SPEAKER_01]: Dollars.

24:57.687 --> 24:59.751
[SPEAKER_04]: You do such a good mock-up of her on that.

25:00.091 --> 25:04.959
[SPEAKER_04]: Which it's fun to mock her, but the whole thing with Trump going after E.G.

25:04.979 --> 25:05.399
[SPEAKER_04]: and Carol.

25:06.758 --> 25:32.752
[SPEAKER_04]: And by the way, Jordan Rubin over at the MS now says if the Trump DOJ actually follows through and charges Carol expect Carol's lawyers to follow file a vindictive prosecution, which well, and especially now that Kilmarne Bregogarcio one his it is a it's known as we're used to be known as pattern and practice, which is when when a city or a state was violating, for example voting rights.

25:33.710 --> 25:57.823
[SPEAKER_04]: uh... such a queen idea voting rights uh... but but when a a city or state was doing that uh... that they would say hey there is a pattern of you doing these kinds of corrupt things there is now a pattern of the trump regime trying to james coney uh... james brigo garsia and out eating for nothing

25:58.305 --> 26:00.806
[SPEAKER_04]: Here's another weird thing in the legal law fair section.

26:01.146 --> 26:03.367
[SPEAKER_04]: So the Trump regime has instructed their G.O.J.

26:03.407 --> 26:13.390
[SPEAKER_04]: prosecutors to stand down on the prosecution of Venezuela's acting president Delsea Rodriguez, even though she's been a long time target of the Dragon Force administration.

26:16.237 --> 26:25.906
[SPEAKER_04]: The corruption within this, we are going to have to do a political and legal fumigation of this entire federal government.

26:26.146 --> 26:37.777
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think every single person who works for the federal government, when the next legitimate government gets in, every person who's going to have to undergo a thorough look at their entire life.

26:37.817 --> 26:40.780
[SPEAKER_04]: And a long short, it is if you're a corrupt trumper,

26:42.013 --> 26:49.376
[SPEAKER_04]: then you get to go find a job elsewhere and you should be banned from working in government at any level forever.

26:50.076 --> 26:52.737
[SPEAKER_01]: I, you know what, if we can do that, I am all in.

26:53.857 --> 27:00.200
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be fine with it because we'd be one of those things of we cannot have that kind of poison in our collective system anymore.

27:00.955 --> 27:02.036
[SPEAKER_04]: Nah, sorry.

27:02.696 --> 27:09.660
[SPEAKER_04]: Sorry, not sorry, but, uh, so in the corruption land section, the corruption, did you notice how just blatantly disgusting this is today?

27:12.402 --> 27:13.342
[SPEAKER_04]: More than usual, even.

27:17.354 --> 27:23.040
[SPEAKER_04]: New analysis finds the Trump contract to pay the reflecting pool in the national mall has an inflated profit margin.

27:23.060 --> 27:23.801
[SPEAKER_01]: You know why?

27:23.821 --> 27:26.764
[SPEAKER_01]: Because 6 to 12 is the normal profit margin.

27:26.804 --> 27:32.651
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you go from 6 to 20 or 12 to 20, guess who gets that other percentage?

27:33.151 --> 27:34.231
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, don't stay in that money.

27:34.251 --> 27:35.512
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the orange man.

27:35.972 --> 27:36.212
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

27:36.532 --> 27:36.732
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

27:36.952 --> 27:37.092
[SPEAKER_04]: I.

27:38.852 --> 27:40.653
[SPEAKER_01]: There's also a move that was a kickback.

27:41.053 --> 27:42.033
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course.

27:42.093 --> 27:49.095
[SPEAKER_04]: Showing that the Trump regime is now using the National Park entrance fees to fund Trump's DC projects, like painting the reflecting pool.

27:49.275 --> 27:50.415
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're paying for that.

27:51.256 --> 27:52.776
[SPEAKER_04]: Literally, we're paying for it.

27:52.876 --> 27:58.617
[SPEAKER_04]: If you are going to a nice park in your area, maybe you're going to, well, I don't know, Yellowstone.

27:58.657 --> 27:59.278
[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to work.

27:59.298 --> 27:59.758
[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to work.

27:59.818 --> 28:00.478
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to work.

28:00.818 --> 28:01.018
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

28:02.167 --> 28:08.323
[SPEAKER_01]: or in Donald Trump's terms, you know, some I'd And hopefully you don't have the stupid new card with his

28:09.349 --> 28:10.369
[SPEAKER_01]: ugly mug on it.

28:10.529 --> 28:12.270
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry for those people to do.

28:12.450 --> 28:13.150
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry for that.

28:13.170 --> 28:20.613
[SPEAKER_04]: We didn't even put this one in today because it's it's so ridiculous that they're floating this idea of $203 bill with his face on it.

28:21.053 --> 28:32.717
[SPEAKER_04]: And then beset who's filling in for Caroline got asked about it today and he said and beset said outright he said we can't put anybody on currency who's still alive.

28:33.037 --> 28:35.118
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, well, you know that.

28:36.154 --> 28:39.997
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but at least that best it actually is like, hey, can't be done right now.

28:40.177 --> 28:43.220
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, then, are they waiting for him to die?

28:45.550 --> 28:46.810
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, a lot of people are.

28:47.310 --> 28:52.331
[SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, when he dies, he ain't going on any currency.

28:52.612 --> 28:54.072
[SPEAKER_01]: I want Jackson taken off.

28:54.192 --> 28:58.013
[SPEAKER_04]: I want us, yeah, a surgery.

28:58.033 --> 29:03.534
[SPEAKER_04]: And yeah, I like, look, I mean, we can redo all of our currency and have all fantastic women on there.

29:04.754 --> 29:11.536
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course, if we did that, if we did like famous entertainers, I would have to lobby to have Carol put on a bill.

29:13.750 --> 29:24.776
[SPEAKER_04]: No, like in like 10 years and like 10 years, you know, I just, you know 10 years, at least, maybe 20, whatever, I mean, should be around for a long time.

29:24.996 --> 29:35.162
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm saying, you know, at some point in time, it takes a long, hell, remember Obama was the one in 2014 that said that we needed to change the $20 bill, and that was 12 years ago.

29:35.562 --> 29:35.682
[SPEAKER_04]: So.

29:36.090 --> 29:38.452
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that Rosa Parks should be on the 20.

29:38.973 --> 29:39.553
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be good with that.

29:39.693 --> 29:40.294
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be good with that.

29:40.314 --> 29:40.855
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be good with that.

29:40.895 --> 29:41.395
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be good with that.

29:41.415 --> 29:41.916
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:41.936 --> 29:42.456
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:42.476 --> 29:43.037
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:43.097 --> 29:43.657
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:43.677 --> 29:44.318
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:45.159 --> 29:46.220
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:46.240 --> 29:47.721
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:47.741 --> 29:48.702
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:48.722 --> 29:49.323
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:49.643 --> 29:50.163
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:50.183 --> 29:50.724
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:50.744 --> 29:51.284
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:51.385 --> 29:51.925
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:51.945 --> 29:52.446
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:52.526 --> 29:54.407
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be good with that.

29:54.427 --> 29:55.348
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd be good with that.

29:55.388 --> 29:56.069
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd be good with that.

29:56.089 --> 29:56.750
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd be good with that.

29:56.770 --> 29:57.811
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd be good with that.

29:57.831 --> 29:57.951
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd be

30:05.351 --> 30:08.054
[SPEAKER_04]: It is Thursday nights here at the politics bar.

30:08.094 --> 30:10.738
[SPEAKER_04]: I believe Eid was last night's Edeja.

30:11.038 --> 30:13.060
[SPEAKER_04]: So if you hear, you know, I'm wasn't thanking very much.

30:13.080 --> 30:14.702
[SPEAKER_04]: We do have a dress last night.

30:15.283 --> 30:17.065
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, yeah, see.

30:17.306 --> 30:19.248
[SPEAKER_04]: I remember my calendar days, I tried to.

30:19.568 --> 30:21.030
[SPEAKER_04]: We try to do that with the drink of the day.

30:21.070 --> 30:22.992
[SPEAKER_04]: We give you some that you know, and some that you're like,

30:23.533 --> 30:34.219
[SPEAKER_04]: When I heard of that comes from, which some of them are really cool like today, so if you don't know, the best thing you can do is you can subscribe to thePaulTicksbar.com You get the podcast ad-free.

30:34.499 --> 30:36.961
[SPEAKER_04]: You get the news on tap, which obviously you want to be informed.

30:37.061 --> 30:39.102
[SPEAKER_04]: But also, you get the drink of the day.

30:39.142 --> 30:40.283
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, here's the thing.

30:40.323 --> 30:45.726
[SPEAKER_04]: If you subscribe, you get all the cool history of whatever cool funky holiday that we found.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's where you holidays.

30:50.409 --> 30:51.630
[SPEAKER_04]: It's an already old thing.

30:51.690 --> 30:54.131

[SPEAKER_04]: We put that out in the middle of the afternoon.

30:59.655 --> 31:05.078
[SPEAKER_04]: So that way everybody has time if you need to go to your local liquor store or whatever and pick up this stuff you want.

31:05.178 --> 31:09.941

[SPEAKER_04]: So go and check the details out there at the politics part.

31:13.620 --> 31:21.927
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, we've actually had a lot of conversation, Tom and Julia are sitting here over here tonight talking in the bar here about this, the subject of the drink of the day today.

31:21.967 --> 31:23.788
[SPEAKER_04]: They're there having a good subject about this.

31:24.108 --> 31:29.112
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a fan necessarily of, well, I'm not really cheering.

31:29.192 --> 31:30.654
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think we're cheering evil here.

31:30.754 --> 31:31.014
[SPEAKER_04]: Are we?

31:31.054 --> 31:34.056
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I mean, just he's a really good character.

31:35.037 --> 31:38.920
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I mean, it's, it's, and, and the fact that, that it's different time.

31:38.960 --> 31:39.401
[SPEAKER_04]: And Dr.

31:39.521 --> 31:40.882
[SPEAKER_01]: Evil is kind of based on him.

31:41.572 --> 31:42.313
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

31:42.433 --> 31:47.437
[SPEAKER_04]: In fact, actually, I have a picture that I added because you had some good stuff and I added that.

31:47.898 --> 31:51.921
[SPEAKER_04]: What is, some people are still going, God, you guys are dancing around it too.

31:53.236 --> 31:54.177
[SPEAKER_04]: What is the drink of the day?

31:54.217 --> 31:56.338
[SPEAKER_04]: And what is the inspiration for it today?

31:56.358 --> 32:05.123
[SPEAKER_01]: The drink of the day is an adastro cocktail inspired by the quote, birthday of Ernest Ernst Stavro Bluefield.

32:05.703 --> 32:07.544
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, Ernst Stavro Blue.

32:08.265 --> 32:14.008
[SPEAKER_01]: If you know who he is, he is the penultimate Bond villain.

32:14.568 --> 32:15.269
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

32:15.449 --> 32:16.689
[SPEAKER_04]: He is the big batty.

32:17.010 --> 32:19.391
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, only you didn't actually see him in the first Bond film.

32:19.411 --> 32:19.931
[SPEAKER_04]: No, you did not.

32:19.971 --> 32:21.072
[SPEAKER_01]: You just heard about him.

32:21.612 --> 32:23.477
[SPEAKER_04]: And you saw him stroking his kitty.

32:23.637 --> 32:29.630
[SPEAKER_01]: And then my one of my favorite actors that played him, who was in the greatest scape, Donald Pleasant.

32:31.878 --> 32:39.704
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's the one that, uh, so I, I got the picture because I saw that and I had to put the picture of him and Mike Myers back to back.

32:39.864 --> 32:44.067
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it's brilliant because Mike is bald, but he has the, the hairless cat.

32:44.307 --> 32:46.929
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, and he has the thing by the, uh, all of it.

32:46.949 --> 32:47.990
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was brilliant.

32:48.491 --> 32:50.292
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I mean, it was, it was a great parody.

32:50.492 --> 32:53.274
[SPEAKER_04]: And, uh, look, we've, we've got the full detail.

32:53.294 --> 32:54.775
[SPEAKER_01]: The police have always played him.

32:54.936 --> 32:57.257
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, so many great actors have played.

32:57.277 --> 32:59.079
[SPEAKER_01]: The most recent was.

33:00.497 --> 33:10.765
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... got what is his name uh... hold on it's down here i have it here you uh... do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

33:16.149 --> 33:16.750
[SPEAKER_04]: that's it.

33:16.890 --> 33:17.210
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

33:17.851 --> 33:19.512
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's an amazing actor.

33:20.293 --> 33:21.614
[SPEAKER_04]: He's a fantastic actor.

33:21.634 --> 33:31.062
[SPEAKER_04]: And they you realize that there was like a 30-some-year gap between when they had the Blofel character in the Bond films and then they brought him back for a specter.

33:31.082 --> 33:32.003
[SPEAKER_04]: For the most recent.

33:32.063 --> 33:33.044
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

33:33.304 --> 33:33.504
[SPEAKER_04]: Which

33:34.365 --> 33:38.108
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I liked Danny Craig as Bond.

33:38.349 --> 33:40.571
[SPEAKER_04]: I know he's the most recent one, but I dug him.

33:40.891 --> 33:41.892
[SPEAKER_04]: We actually asked this.

33:41.932 --> 33:46.316
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the that's the conversation between Tom Schaefer and Julia over here in the bar tonight.

33:47.237 --> 33:49.859
[SPEAKER_04]: Because Julie said her favorite bond was Roger Moore.

33:50.439 --> 33:51.881
[SPEAKER_04]: And I said, sure, we talked about that.

33:51.961 --> 33:52.702
[SPEAKER_04]: Sure.

33:52.722 --> 33:59.728
[SPEAKER_04]: And then I asked who her favorite actor was, who she thought would make a great James Bond, even if that person said that they wouldn't play it.

34:00.815 --> 34:04.136
[SPEAKER_04]: And, of course, she said it herself, like me.

34:05.137 --> 34:09.218
[SPEAKER_01]: And me, I would love him to play bond.

34:09.238 --> 34:12.520
[SPEAKER_01]: But he's turned it down because he's in his 50s.

34:13.040 --> 34:18.542
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, they want, they've said, whoever the folks are, I think it's Amazon now, technically.

34:18.562 --> 34:19.703
[SPEAKER_04]: But it's a subcommittee, whatever.

34:19.723 --> 34:25.625
[SPEAKER_04]: They've said whoever they pick next for bond, they want them to be a variable for the next decade or so.

34:25.725 --> 34:27.506
[SPEAKER_01]: And it takes two years to shoot one.

34:28.546 --> 34:47.878
[SPEAKER_04]: right and they're like okay and he's like you know I'm my 50s whatever in 10 years is my little tough but he's Sean Connery before Sean Connery said no when he also came back to do never say never again yep yep also I I like that Bond film better than some folks do I've never seen it ever again it was fun

34:48.418 --> 34:55.422
[SPEAKER_04]: Tom, by the way, agrees with all of us that Idris Elbert is definitely great on that, and he mentioned the whole age thing too.

34:55.622 --> 34:57.023
[SPEAKER_04]: So Idris, he says, is 53.

34:57.103 --> 34:58.944
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you, Tom, for that heads up.

34:59.344 --> 35:04.587
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so he'd have to play him till he's 63 or 65, depending on scheduling.

35:05.213 --> 35:06.594
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, I mean, you know, Black don't crack.

35:06.614 --> 35:07.935
[SPEAKER_04]: We know that, but also.

35:08.335 --> 35:11.077
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's not.

35:11.097 --> 35:13.358
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a physical movie.

35:13.438 --> 35:16.040
[SPEAKER_01]: No matter what you think.

35:16.700 --> 35:19.542
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you want to shoot it right, you should it practical, if you can.

35:20.102 --> 35:20.342
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

35:20.463 --> 35:23.985
[SPEAKER_01]: And because it looks better and so high.

35:24.585 --> 35:35.975
[SPEAKER_01]: No, less CGI more practical effects, which means the person or the stunt person, you know, and so I understand why he said no, because I think if you were 43 who just said, sure, I meant.

35:37.256 --> 35:37.897
[SPEAKER_04]: I would hope so.

35:38.057 --> 35:38.678
[SPEAKER_04]: I would hope so.

35:39.098 --> 35:40.499
[SPEAKER_04]: I would hope that people don't

35:41.488 --> 35:52.039
[SPEAKER_04]: Hold themselves back because they're afraid, um, uh, you know, somebody says, oh, well, that's not a woman in the character or this not a black person or Hispanic person or an Asian person or a gay person.

35:53.041 --> 35:57.065
[SPEAKER_01]: So we've got hell of Troy played by beautiful gorgeous black lady.

35:57.425 --> 35:58.747
[SPEAKER_01]: And then mermaid.

35:59.387 --> 36:03.312
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, mermaids and hell and of Troy, not real people.

36:05.218 --> 36:08.020
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, Helen is probably, I mean, I think, no, no way that's a fiction.

36:08.320 --> 36:08.981
[SPEAKER_04]: She's fiction.

36:09.041 --> 36:09.862
[SPEAKER_04]: What's she, what's she got?

36:09.902 --> 36:10.322
[SPEAKER_01]: No, she's not.

36:10.342 --> 36:11.963
[SPEAKER_01]: She was based on somebody.

36:12.604 --> 36:12.924
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

36:13.024 --> 36:14.505
[SPEAKER_01]: But in Egypt, I believe.

36:14.585 --> 36:14.886
[SPEAKER_01]: So.

36:15.711 --> 36:16.951
[SPEAKER_04]: Might have been brown skin, who knows?

36:17.151 --> 36:17.551
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

36:17.571 --> 36:21.172
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, even in Israel, or even in Greece, hi, dark skinned people.

36:21.192 --> 36:24.453
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, then there's always the famous, you know, Jesus is a white man.

36:24.633 --> 36:25.113
[SPEAKER_01]: How?

36:25.793 --> 36:29.094
[SPEAKER_04]: Which we all know, what, what, John Fucle, saying by the way, come into the bar a little bit later.

36:29.774 --> 36:34.715
[SPEAKER_01]: If he were a real person, so not white, so not blue-eyed, so not blonde hair.

36:34.855 --> 36:39.096
[SPEAKER_04]: Brown skinned brown hair, mentally, seriously, curly hair.

36:39.136 --> 36:41.717
[SPEAKER_01]: And with a beard, definitely.

36:41.737 --> 36:43.578
[SPEAKER_01]: He's always been depicted with a beard.

36:46.078 --> 36:55.084
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I believe in his name actually translates closer to Joshua than Jesus, but yeah, no Joshing Really seriously, you look at him.

36:55.104 --> 36:57.245
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a little Eastern Jew of course.

36:57.285 --> 36:58.406
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not blonde and blue.

36:58.486 --> 37:01.187
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, and that's the other thing They're always like yeah, but he's not Jewish.

37:01.307 --> 37:04.349
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, and he had a gun and you're like no, no, he never had guns.

37:04.549 --> 37:08.512
[SPEAKER_01]: No Yeah, but against that sort of thing

37:09.112 --> 37:35.321
[SPEAKER_04]: But you know that that's that's the whole thing about being against you know you couldn't have 007 be a black man Why not it it's a fictional character based on a Real person the guy who actually wrote it Ian Fleming well, and this is why it's his birthday today This is why the birthday of blowfeld was his act is Ian Fleming's birthday may 28th 1908 okay, that's why they gave the name you

37:35.901 --> 37:37.621
[SPEAKER_04]: He gave Blofeld that I got it.

37:37.741 --> 37:42.322
[SPEAKER_04]: Also, there's a little kind of a little hint.

37:43.663 --> 37:44.383
[SPEAKER_04]: It's interesting.

37:44.423 --> 37:46.503
[SPEAKER_04]: It's actually something that was in the Fleming books.

37:46.623 --> 37:52.424
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it might have been in one of the earlier Bond movies, but Fleming described Blofeld as having Violet-Scented Breath.

37:54.084 --> 38:00.066
[SPEAKER_04]: And he did that because the character of Blofeld chewed Violet-Scented Cassius, tiny, intensely

38:02.921 --> 38:09.766
[SPEAKER_04]: the bad breath of the character blowfeld that's that was his whole I need to start reading the books because I sound much better.

38:10.367 --> 38:11.288
[SPEAKER_04]: And the books pretty good.

38:11.608 --> 38:16.772
[SPEAKER_04]: Here's the thing the drink of the day actually has a little bit of it does.

38:17.292 --> 38:21.636
[SPEAKER_04]: That's that's where the ad Astra cocktail gets that that's how that ties in.

38:21.656 --> 38:28.842
[SPEAKER_04]: If you guys if you subscribe you get the drink of the day you've read the thing you know this, but for those of you who don't joke you what is in an ad Astra cocktail.

38:28.962 --> 38:29.242
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

38:30.305 --> 38:30.946
[SPEAKER_01]: What do we need?

38:31.006 --> 38:33.027
[SPEAKER_01]: A pre-chilled what Nick and Nora glass.

38:33.287 --> 38:33.708
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.

38:33.768 --> 38:34.408
[SPEAKER_04]: Always pre-chilled.

38:34.729 --> 38:35.369
[SPEAKER_04]: Always pre-chilled.

38:35.809 --> 38:38.472
[SPEAKER_01]: I write it down, but it's always pre-chilled.

38:38.912 --> 38:40.513
[SPEAKER_01]: I will die on this hill.

38:40.733 --> 38:45.057
[SPEAKER_01]: Mixing glass, some ice, two and a half ounces of gin, so kids, a lot of booze.

38:45.557 --> 38:45.697
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

38:46.478 --> 38:50.281
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, legally in California, I don't think you can pour more than that.

38:51.562 --> 38:52.503
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, in one drink.

38:52.943 --> 38:54.244
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, it's the selling of the somebody.

38:54.264 --> 38:54.684
[SPEAKER_04]: It's your house.

38:54.704 --> 38:55.345
[SPEAKER_04]: You can pour whatever you want.

38:55.425 --> 38:58.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, whatever you want in your house, but legally in a bar.

38:58.048 --> 38:59.169
[SPEAKER_04]: So two and a half ounces of gin.

38:59.309 --> 39:05.515
[SPEAKER_01]: A half ounce of Luxardo, Marcino licure, which is a cherry kind of flavored licure.

39:06.677 --> 39:09.560
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the half ounce of crem de violette licure.

39:09.960 --> 39:14.144
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's your violet flavor, which I've never had.

39:14.184 --> 39:16.086
[SPEAKER_01]: So I kind of, I would imagine.

39:17.007 --> 39:17.708
[SPEAKER_01]: Lavender.

39:18.288 --> 39:30.540
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, kind of kind of a lavender with a little bit more of like the cherry, but then the kicker is that you also add in Lemonage a quarter ounce of lemon juice for that kind of brightens it up and sprints it up.

39:30.580 --> 39:31.220
[SPEAKER_04]: It's interesting.

39:31.240 --> 39:33.182
[SPEAKER_04]: I love the picture that you found of the drink.

39:33.202 --> 39:34.263
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it looks really great.

39:34.423 --> 39:36.024
[SPEAKER_01]: I know I love the background, isn't that nice?

39:36.044 --> 39:37.865
[SPEAKER_04]: And then of course there's a picture of Blowfell and Stroke.

39:37.945 --> 39:40.087
[SPEAKER_01]: I know, isn't that, I mean, he was so cute.

39:40.427 --> 39:42.408
[SPEAKER_04]: Pleasant's was so good in that role.

39:42.448 --> 39:42.929
[SPEAKER_04]: He was.

39:43.689 --> 39:45.831
[SPEAKER_04]: How do we put all these together to make this ad asked for?

39:45.851 --> 39:56.398
[SPEAKER_01]: You had all of your ingredients to the mixing glass, then add ice, and stir, chill it, and then you strain it into your nicking nor a glass, and there is no garnish, so just a yoy.

39:56.918 --> 39:57.298
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.

39:57.458 --> 40:02.079
[SPEAKER_04]: And remember, if you're going to do something wrong, like be a bad guy, at least have the decency to do it the right way.

40:02.259 --> 40:02.919
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, seriously.

40:03.119 --> 40:04.079
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, don't be happy.

40:04.399 --> 40:05.480
[SPEAKER_04]: I hate half as bad guys.

40:05.800 --> 40:07.660
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, honestly, don't be.

40:08.600 --> 40:10.800
[SPEAKER_01]: I love him, but um, Dr.

40:10.940 --> 40:11.201
[SPEAKER_01]: Evil.

40:12.201 --> 40:13.301
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't be Dr.

40:13.441 --> 40:14.241
[SPEAKER_04]: Evil.

40:14.261 --> 40:15.621
[SPEAKER_01]: 1 million.

40:15.661 --> 40:16.481
[SPEAKER_01]: 1 billion.

40:16.501 --> 40:17.702
[SPEAKER_01]: 100 billion.

40:18.682 --> 40:18.922
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

40:19.122 --> 40:19.982
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, oh my god.

40:20.062 --> 40:21.202
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, if you guys missed any part of the

40:25.605 --> 40:41.763
[SPEAKER_04]: dot com in the fifth round today are wonderful entertainment section there uh... got to say uh... there's a young man who uh... uh... uh... love him so much his name is sontiago campos and i'm hoping you see him or hear him on something else very soon uh...

40:42.303 --> 40:46.064
[SPEAKER_04]: Can't wait for him to run for office he was at well, I don't know about that.

40:46.084 --> 40:50.506
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to seem to do good journals in first He was at the 47th news Emmy Awards.

40:50.706 --> 41:09.612
[SPEAKER_04]: He's a high schoolers a teenager and he won the CBS funded scholarship and good for CBS Right, I mean, but there's a long-term thing they've done and then he blasted them for their turn towards right wing propaganda check this out And while I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education

41:10.703 --> 41:18.652
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to also acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stands the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

41:19.653 --> 41:19.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

41:19.954 --> 41:21.315
[SPEAKER_00]: As corporate elites take hold.

41:22.216 --> 41:23.938
[SPEAKER_01]: And that crowd goes nuts.

41:25.039 --> 41:26.020
[SPEAKER_04]: And they should, it's great.

41:26.261 --> 41:26.781
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm glad.

41:27.322 --> 41:28.083
[SPEAKER_04]: This is awesome.

41:32.782 --> 41:43.108
[SPEAKER_00]: As corporal elites take hold over the very pipes through which our information flows, journalism that serves people becomes increasingly harder to come by, yet ever more crucial.

41:44.029 --> 41:45.790
[SPEAKER_00]: And what the people want is the truth.

41:47.130 --> 41:56.756
[SPEAKER_00]: So if at any time you hesitate to utter the word genocide or remain silent in the face of blatant lies, remember to ask yourself, who is this for?

41:56.776 --> 41:58.977
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope you choose us.

41:59.878 --> 42:00.258
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

42:03.974 --> 42:04.536
[SPEAKER_04]: That was awesome.

42:04.877 --> 42:05.278
[SPEAKER_04]: That was awesome.

42:05.298 --> 42:06.543
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, this kid is great.

42:07.145 --> 42:07.767
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm...

42:07.787 --> 42:09.111
[SPEAKER_04]: Probably are good to drink a little bit.

42:09.131 --> 42:09.372
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.

42:10.198 --> 42:33.808
[SPEAKER_01]: And the fact that he did that in front of whoever was there from CBS to give them the award, he's got some co-honies on him and some ovaries, um, yes, but that's what it should, that's that's what I want to see in the next generation that the kids are all right, if more if more the kids coming up and doing journals were like that, the kids are all right, because that's what we need is people who are like, you know what?

42:34.428 --> 42:37.689
[SPEAKER_04]: And yes, they're we didn't put it in the news on to have today, but there was a blood bath.

42:37.709 --> 42:39.689
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, they technically fired Sharon.

42:39.709 --> 42:45.931
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll fancy this morning because I guess they Well, they just didn't really know her contract or something.

42:46.751 --> 42:47.932
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that that's true.

42:47.952 --> 42:58.494
[SPEAKER_04]: Her contract would have ended at the end of this month, but they technically fired her this morning and they fired somebody else on 60 minutes and they fired the executive producer and changed that out.

43:01.958 --> 43:03.079
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, oh, good question.

43:03.199 --> 43:03.639
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's.

43:04.259 --> 43:05.540
[SPEAKER_04]: I think you're right, Choney.

43:06.381 --> 43:09.702
[SPEAKER_01]: Because being fired is different than not your contract renewed.

43:10.142 --> 43:10.403
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

43:10.543 --> 43:13.264
[SPEAKER_04]: If a contract wasn't renewed, it's just a thank you very much.

43:13.604 --> 43:15.585
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll see you whenever you want to come back.

43:16.066 --> 43:16.346
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

43:16.886 --> 43:20.328
[SPEAKER_04]: But if they fire you, then they don't use at least two weeks.

43:20.828 --> 43:21.488
[SPEAKER_04]: A lot of places.

43:21.508 --> 43:21.768
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

43:21.889 --> 43:22.769
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think I'm pretty sure.

43:22.789 --> 43:24.510
[SPEAKER_01]: Depending on her contract probably six months.

43:24.970 --> 43:25.330
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh-huh.

43:27.731 --> 43:32.094
[SPEAKER_04]: Which means, once again, the Trump folks smack themselves in the face.

43:32.574 --> 43:33.455
[SPEAKER_04]: Brilliant, Barry.

43:33.615 --> 43:34.355
[SPEAKER_04]: Brilliant, anyway.

43:34.756 --> 43:38.218
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, we got more news on Tap John Fugle saying is coming in.

43:38.338 --> 43:39.158

[SPEAKER_03]: It's political.

44:04.650 --> 44:06.734
[SPEAKER_03]: Thinking, radical.

44:06.774 --> 44:09.780
[SPEAKER_02]: You think it's a part of whatever you want.

44:09.800 --> 44:11.905
[SPEAKER_02]: The politics part.

44:11.945 --> 44:14.350

[SPEAKER_04]: It looks great.

44:21.721 --> 44:22.422

45:37.535 --> 45:39.898
[SPEAKER_04]: And this actually, it is politically themed.

45:40.238 --> 45:42.540
[SPEAKER_04]: A lot of the entertainment is usually away from politics.

45:42.580 --> 45:46.645
[SPEAKER_04]: But today, it's not very much the kind of do it in another section here.

45:47.045 --> 45:52.290
[SPEAKER_04]: Stephen Colbert's replacement, if you will, comics unleashed, flopped.

45:52.630 --> 45:52.951

45:59.817 --> 46:01.078
[SPEAKER_04]: It's at least time agreement.

46:01.238 --> 46:01.538

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

46:05.682 --> 46:06.643
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's at least time.

46:06.863 --> 46:07.704
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel bad.

46:07.824 --> 46:09.426
[SPEAKER_01]: That feels very expensive.

46:10.770 --> 46:12.231
[SPEAKER_04]: relatively speaking now.

46:12.312 --> 46:17.777
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's a national network that the affiliates don't have to put it on if they don't want to.

46:18.317 --> 46:18.537
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

46:18.558 --> 46:22.401
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they just have to air the ads, which is commonplace for stuff like that.

46:22.481 --> 46:29.368
[SPEAKER_04]: But I think it's just, it's just so, I feel bad for them, but I also don't in the sense of, he's doing it.

46:29.948 --> 46:30.969
[SPEAKER_04]: He's doing it.

46:31.069 --> 46:31.610

[SPEAKER_01]: I wish I could afford to fly out for that.

46:50.151 --> 46:52.532
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't need your men out if I had the money.

46:53.092 --> 46:57.634
[SPEAKER_04]: I would love to be able to actually go to it myself, to be fine, to be a good deal.

46:58.475 --> 47:02.036
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's see, the no-kings folks are setting up another event,

47:04.183 --> 47:12.709
[SPEAKER_04]: They are directly counter programming trumps, 80 of birthday, and UFC fights on the White House lawn, which is hilarious.

47:13.029 --> 47:13.930
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.

47:14.550 --> 47:15.771
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just like, oh my God.

[SPEAKER_04]: So that's the cameras are gonna be in multiple places.

47:18.192 --> 47:19.974
[SPEAKER_04]: So that'll be interesting.

47:20.454 --> 47:25.437
[SPEAKER_04]: That event, by the way, there's gonna be several performances over like a 10 day period or something.

47:27.032 --> 47:37.586
[SPEAKER_04]: So here's the thing, the performers for this 250th birthday bash on the national mall were announced, folks like, I'd say at Martina McBride, which I'm like, whatever, I helped her daughter.

47:37.606 --> 47:41.150
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I'm, have I told that story once I helped her or her daughter not lose her finger?

47:42.211 --> 47:42.572
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.

47:43.283 --> 47:43.523
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

47:44.263 --> 47:44.484
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

47:45.044 --> 47:51.927
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, uh, so used to do, uh, they're, they used to do a windmill festival in central Nebraska as a country thing, a bunch of country artists.

47:52.768 --> 47:55.709
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, and I was out there for the country radio station that I was on at the time.

47:56.970 --> 48:00.572
[SPEAKER_04]: And, uh, so I was standing up by the main house.

48:00.632 --> 48:07.355
[SPEAKER_04]: It literally was was next to a house that was part of this big farm yard and then anyway.

48:09.157 --> 48:30.146
[SPEAKER_04]: and they had a teetototter right out in front of the house when the cross bar isn't is pushed out a little bit and this little three-year-old girl was over there and it was to the point where if she stuck a finger in the wrong place and then leaned on it, it would have sliced off her finger and I saw her about to do that and I was like, no, no, no, no.

48:30.506 --> 48:30.746
[SPEAKER_04]: here.

48:31.066 --> 48:33.347
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, there was no other adults around her.

48:33.547 --> 48:34.727
[SPEAKER_04]: So like, okay.

48:34.847 --> 48:39.529
[SPEAKER_04]: So I, I decided to be kind and I just like, oh, no, no, come here, come here kid here.

48:39.929 --> 48:43.170
[SPEAKER_04]: And so she stepped away and did not get her finger pinched off.

48:43.230 --> 48:48.112
[SPEAKER_04]: And then I, then I just, you know, fixed shove the pipe back in the other wood station.

48:48.152 --> 48:49.932
[SPEAKER_04]: I was like, okay, and then we'll play on it.

48:49.952 --> 48:52.533

50:32.171 --> 50:38.193
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and he's like, He wasn't going to do it, and then he was upset that his fans were like, don't do it.

50:38.253 --> 50:39.454
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, you're not going to tell me.

50:39.514 --> 50:46.256
[SPEAKER_01]: And then very racially, um, weird way said, you're not going to tell me what to do.

50:46.276 --> 50:47.157
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

50:47.357 --> 50:48.937

[SPEAKER_04]: You guys can see the list.

50:58.295 --> 50:59.275
[SPEAKER_04]: It's in the news on tap.

50:59.735 --> 51:08.737
[SPEAKER_04]: This is basically like a list of, want a state, state, fair, artists, and 1996.

51:10.877 --> 51:15.698
[SPEAKER_01]: People who older than that, I don't wanna go with 1991.

51:15.838 --> 51:17.439
[SPEAKER_01]: Cause when all ice came out in 1992,

51:18.709 --> 51:36.513
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but well, but it took him a few years to see the state fair circuit when they were hot for a couple of years and then the state fair circuit is a little bit further off and then it's the who are you kind of circuit that's the who are you circuit well, but that's but I'm saying like this would be in like the late 90s this would have been the they were how few years ago

51:38.134 --> 51:56.282
[SPEAKER_01]: And now it's like except for Martina, who was actually, you know, like still doing hits and stuff in the early 2000s so we're looking at 26 to 30 year old or 40 Brett year old Brett Michaels and you know what I'm thinking is like with Morris day also 40s for a year old.

51:58.083 --> 52:01.946
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, look, Prince, Prince had him, you know, with the... Oh, we're six great.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, back there.

52:03.027 --> 52:03.607
[SPEAKER_04]: We're six great.

52:03.827 --> 52:04.548
[SPEAKER_04]: Do the bird, right?

52:04.588 --> 52:05.949
[SPEAKER_01]: I have no problem with Morse.

52:06.009 --> 52:08.230
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad he said health and cases.

52:08.871 --> 52:12.654
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, but the thing is, is what's funny, vinyl ice is going to totally show up.

52:13.214 --> 52:15.236
[SPEAKER_01]: But because he loves the dog.

52:15.796 --> 52:19.239
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, my wife, I think I've mentioned this before.

52:19.279 --> 52:23.022
[SPEAKER_04]: My wife used to work in South Florida.

52:23.282 --> 52:25.824
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, she's working at Lose in South Florida and Rob.

52:26.510 --> 52:33.279
[SPEAKER_04]: Ben Eliza is a contractor in South Florida and he used to come into the store where she was.

52:33.339 --> 52:34.441
[SPEAKER_04]: So she knew him as Rob.

52:34.601 --> 52:37.625
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, yes, she knew his in the ice, but I thought it was a Mark, but whatever.

52:38.126 --> 52:43.253
[SPEAKER_04]: No, it's a Rob and and and and because of the fact that my wife, you know, has dealt with, you know,

52:43.733 --> 52:46.975
[SPEAKER_04]: strange and famous people being with me for 30 some years.

52:47.815 --> 52:49.556
[SPEAKER_04]: She's like, whatever, she just is like, hey, what do you need?

52:49.576 --> 52:50.696
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's like, oh, I need some plumbing.

52:50.736 --> 52:51.577
[SPEAKER_04]: I need some electric ones.

52:51.617 --> 52:53.057
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, this fine ball of wine.

52:53.197 --> 52:57.299
[SPEAKER_04]: And he appreciates the fact that she didn't freak out that he's just robbed the contractor to her, which is great.

52:57.419 --> 53:02.541
[SPEAKER_04]: But Rob is okay with, but Rob is also okay with anybody who will pay him.

53:03.722 --> 53:05.603
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the thing is, I forgot.

53:05.743 --> 53:06.323
[SPEAKER_04]: It's, it's a job.

53:06.523 --> 53:11.566
[SPEAKER_04]: Whether it's, you know, rebuilding your house or, you know, pretending he's, you know, doing the vanilla ice thingy and he's like,

53:13.293 --> 53:18.315
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Lonnie wanted to be in Brett Michael's band for a while.

53:18.355 --> 53:20.275
[SPEAKER_01]: He was kept trying to audition as a bass player.

53:20.295 --> 53:21.256
[SPEAKER_04]: OK.

53:21.816 --> 53:27.998
[SPEAKER_01]: If Brett still does this, I'm a late bed.

53:30.598 --> 53:31.679
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you not join that band?

53:31.719 --> 53:34.920
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I will be so mean to your singer.

53:37.845 --> 53:48.569
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I, I, I, I can't believe he, I think, because what happened with Morris Day, and I believe the young rapper guy, young MC, young MC, who's not so great back in the day?

53:48.589 --> 53:51.490
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't know they were being booked for something partisan.

53:53.031 --> 53:57.212
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's the thing to me is this is so cringey.

53:57.412 --> 53:58.513
[SPEAKER_04]: This is so cringey.

53:58.553 --> 54:00.874
[SPEAKER_04]: This is so desperate in the sense that

54:02.802 --> 54:12.428
[SPEAKER_04]: Donald Trump has his entire life wanted to be loved and liked by the real people who have a real money and real power and real and what he loves.

54:12.448 --> 54:13.148
[SPEAKER_03]: And actually love.

54:13.708 --> 54:15.069
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well, some of them.

54:15.429 --> 54:18.491
[SPEAKER_04]: But that they live in Manhattan, that live in the other burrow.

54:18.971 --> 54:19.152
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

54:19.852 --> 54:24.515
[SPEAKER_04]: He's always wanted to be with those people, but be at the cool kids table.

54:26.445 --> 54:31.066
[SPEAKER_04]: And even when they've let him temporarily sit at their table, they're like, you're not really one of us.

54:31.086 --> 54:32.846
[SPEAKER_04]: You're just here because we need you for whatever.

54:32.866 --> 54:35.187
[SPEAKER_04]: And we're going to use you and then we're going to get rid of you.

54:35.267 --> 54:38.727
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, even McCallick, Hogan said, edit him out of home alone.

54:39.447 --> 54:39.708
[SPEAKER_04]: Two.

[SPEAKER_04]: Which I'm good.

54:41.508 --> 54:42.528
[SPEAKER_04]: Edit him out of home alone, too.

54:42.548 --> 54:43.108
[SPEAKER_04]: It should be a fun.

54:43.128 --> 54:43.648
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, hello, sir.

54:43.668 --> 54:44.328
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey.

[SPEAKER_04]: We have to debate this.

55:07.108 --> 55:10.751

[SPEAKER_04]: It's over on your sub-stack called the week.

55:13.474 --> 55:16.457
[SPEAKER_04]: The GOP became the party of beating cops and raping kids.

55:16.877 --> 55:20.199
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like, haven't they been that for years?

55:20.719 --> 55:21.160
[SPEAKER_04]: No.

55:21.220 --> 55:25.462
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I think they completed the transition last week, Sean, is what I'm trying to say.

55:25.482 --> 55:27.283
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, they are transitioning now.

55:27.303 --> 55:28.484
[SPEAKER_05]: They're transitioning now.

55:28.504 --> 55:28.984
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

55:29.004 --> 55:29.104
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

55:29.124 --> 55:31.005
[SPEAKER_05]: The drivers license came back correct.

55:31.045 --> 55:33.467
[SPEAKER_05]: And now they're ready to fully embrace their destiny.

55:33.807 --> 55:34.907
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

55:34.967 --> 55:35.748
[SPEAKER_05]: Tom is nasty.

55:35.808 --> 55:36.848
[SPEAKER_05]: Wow.

55:36.868 --> 55:37.289
[SPEAKER_05]: Look at that.

55:37.309 --> 55:38.810
[SPEAKER_05]: Look at that leftist cock.

55:38.970 --> 55:39.330
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean.

55:40.439 --> 55:48.345
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, they can't find money to protect children's health care, but there's 32 million to protect children's rapists.

55:48.485 --> 55:49.286
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my God.

55:49.486 --> 55:52.108
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, and did you see Paxton, one of his latest things?

55:52.128 --> 55:52.869
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, he has eight.

55:52.909 --> 55:54.290
[SPEAKER_05]: We're going to talk about Paxton, please.

55:54.310 --> 55:55.150
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, we have to.

55:55.210 --> 55:57.352
[SPEAKER_04]: We have to leave it a time on that today.

55:57.392 --> 55:59.854
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a great organization in Texas.

55:59.894 --> 56:01.195
[SPEAKER_04]: They have some great news organizations.

56:01.215 --> 56:02.556
[SPEAKER_04]: This one's called The Barbed Wire.

56:02.916 --> 56:03.617
[SPEAKER_04]: They did a 20 year.

56:05.238 --> 56:14.785
[SPEAKER_04]: list of all of Paxton's, you know, crimes and questionable things, which are like, oh my god, wait, it takes 20 years to read it, or it took 20 years to compile it.

56:15.026 --> 56:16.427
[SPEAKER_04]: It's 20 years worth of his.

56:16.467 --> 56:17.207
[SPEAKER_05]: No, okay, got it.

56:17.227 --> 56:29.977
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but, and then then I think they had to come back in and add it in and they're like, oh yeah, and his latest one, just from this last month, where there was this guy who was repeatedly raping a young boy, and Paxton is like, for three years.

56:30.157 --> 56:31.158
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, three years.

56:34.160 --> 56:35.600
[SPEAKER_04]: 30 days total 30 days.

56:35.620 --> 56:37.061
[SPEAKER_04]: First they were only going to do one day.

56:37.201 --> 56:38.261
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, we're only going to want one.

56:38.721 --> 56:43.102
[SPEAKER_05]: You seem to think this is going to hurt Paxton with Texas GOP voters gone.

56:43.422 --> 56:52.645
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, you have to answer something at this point in modern American politics, uh, indictments are are basically Pokemon cards for MAGA candidates.

56:52.745 --> 56:53.325
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.

56:53.525 --> 56:58.327
[SPEAKER_05]: That's really what this guy's been under a felony indictment since 2015, right?

56:58.367 --> 57:14.634
[SPEAKER_04]: Like if if if if if if it lasts long enough the judge dies of old age like I don't know how this guy has done it But all I'm saying is I'm no longer worried about platinum, you know what because I'm like look, you know And anybody who says oh yeah, well every Democrat has to has to answer for grand platinum and his Nazi tattoo.

57:14.714 --> 57:14.974
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like

57:15.674 --> 57:35.987
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, let me introduce you to not get tattoos, not even the thing I have the biggest problem with with a flat there, but I'll take grandpa and run his birthday over Susan Collins, how same right, and I'm going to take him over Paxton because oh my god, he should just do it a fundraiser or a ad campaign to let me lose laser it off

57:38.072 --> 57:54.488
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I mean, packs in versus Talarico like like one one guy we just have corruption by his own staff and the other guy works for habitat humanity on the weekends And apologize as what he bumps into folding chairs all the way up next hang on we'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar

[SPEAKER_04]: It is Thursday night.

58:03.483 --> 58:05.424
[SPEAKER_04]: We got to give him the proper introduction.

58:05.464 --> 58:08.226

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, we have some great people who love you, John, and we love you as well.

58:30.978 --> 58:39.980
[SPEAKER_04]: We think honestly, it's nice to have somebody who is the son of a father and a sister who, uh, it's hard to, sort of a brother and a sister.

58:40.080 --> 58:41.740
[SPEAKER_01]: A brother and a sister.

58:41.940 --> 58:43.381
[SPEAKER_04]: You did that way, but what's your joke?

58:43.481 --> 58:44.761
[SPEAKER_04]: So I mean, you know, and I love her.

58:44.781 --> 58:47.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he was a brother and she was a sister, so there is that.

58:47.862 --> 58:49.902
[SPEAKER_05]: This is not the widest guy on the face of the earth.

58:50.229 --> 59:01.091
[SPEAKER_04]: Also here the guy who wrote separation of church and hate which is a fantastic book and you're working on your next one Which people should as soon as it's available pre-order because that will be a good idea So it's trying to kill me right now.

59:01.131 --> 59:08.512
[SPEAKER_01]: So thank you Editing is never fun Writing is never fun little Editing is easy bro.

59:08.912 --> 59:12.933
[SPEAKER_01]: I love Editing Editing is easy part the writing part is tough part.

59:13.073 --> 59:16.354
[SPEAKER_05]: There's there's not enough crystal method New York City to get me through this thing

59:18.214 --> 59:20.295
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I know places in North Dakota, so.

59:20.916 --> 59:21.816
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, terrific.

59:21.836 --> 59:22.396
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's go there.

59:23.277 --> 59:25.918
[SPEAKER_05]: Find our time to show you the son dark science there.

59:26.499 --> 59:33.823
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I'm thinking, I'm thinking the Texas voters this week are, uh, some of them are, some of them are having, having doubts about who is their kind now.

59:33.903 --> 59:42.428
[SPEAKER_04]: Because there, there is, there's still clearly, uh, a 40% of the people who are still registered as Republicans in Texas voted for Cornean.

59:43.068 --> 01:00:07.641
[SPEAKER_04]: and a lot of them from so many of the media interviews were it was so interesting we we mentioned this earlier this week how you'd have an interview and you didn't know how it would end but you'd get one on MS now or NBC or ABC or whatever and and they would go okay so what do you think about Coran or no what what did you think about Paxton there he'd be like well

01:00:10.011 --> 01:00:31.921
[SPEAKER_04]: flanderer and a cheater and a liar and a thief and a you know listing all these things but Donald Trump told me and I fell in right or they could list all those things in their way you know Donald Trump voters really don't like thieves and adulterers can I tell you they really don't hate them don't like corruption don't like adulterers I'm a good Christian's well that's the good Christians are gonna be voting for Taro Rico

01:00:32.827 --> 01:00:33.367
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah.

01:00:33.447 --> 01:00:34.088
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, okay.

01:00:34.108 --> 01:00:34.588
[SPEAKER_05]: Where to begin?

01:00:34.908 --> 01:00:37.709
[SPEAKER_05]: He was impeached by his own Republican party.

01:00:37.789 --> 01:00:38.390
[SPEAKER_05]: Of course he was.

01:00:38.430 --> 01:00:39.290
[SPEAKER_05]: For corruption.

01:00:39.510 --> 01:00:40.330
[SPEAKER_05]: Not Democrats.

01:00:40.951 --> 01:00:42.632
[SPEAKER_05]: Republicans in Texas.

01:00:42.732 --> 01:00:46.493
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you know how hard you have to try to offend Republicans in Texas?

01:00:46.753 --> 01:00:53.176
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, like, how corrupt you have to be for Texas Republicans to say, hold on there, Barnard.

01:00:53.256 --> 01:00:54.057
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, how evil.

01:00:55.137 --> 01:01:09.534
[SPEAKER_05]: How many and and and like I mean he's it's like he's the the love child of a telebandialist at use car salesman and a subpoena with blood on it and he beat this guy he beat cornered by 28 points right at that's a public execution is actually 20

01:01:10.355 --> 01:01:14.977
[SPEAKER_05]: 28 points, like, although it was an open primary.

01:01:15.077 --> 01:01:18.698
[SPEAKER_01]: So a lot of Democrats probably voted for him too.

01:01:18.778 --> 01:01:21.639
[SPEAKER_05]: And they may have been turned out was incredibly low as well.

01:01:21.659 --> 01:01:22.379
[SPEAKER_05]: That's exactly right.

01:01:22.399 --> 01:01:23.760
[SPEAKER_05]: I was going to think about that.

01:01:24.140 --> 01:01:26.220
[SPEAKER_05]: Imagine being the kind of person who hates women.

01:01:26.280 --> 01:01:27.301
[SPEAKER_05]: So because this was the runoff.

01:01:27.321 --> 01:01:28.021
[SPEAKER_05]: There was already the pride.

01:01:28.041 --> 01:01:28.221
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

01:01:28.781 --> 01:01:30.362
[SPEAKER_05]: So imagine hating women so much.

01:01:31.241 --> 01:01:37.627
[SPEAKER_05]: that you would get in your car and drive and wait in line to vote for Ken Paxton three times in one year.

01:01:37.828 --> 01:01:42.652
[SPEAKER_05]: Imagine hating women that much that you'd be willing to vote three times for this guy.

01:01:42.873 --> 01:01:50.440
[SPEAKER_05]: And what's amazing is they had such a perfectly electable incumbent John Corden, but Trump all the time.

01:01:50.580 --> 01:01:52.302
[SPEAKER_04]: Now you're going to jump two percent of the time.

01:01:52.382 --> 01:01:56.503
[SPEAKER_05]: John Corden could have been, he was one of the guys who could have made sure Trump didn't come back.

01:01:56.744 --> 01:02:08.288
[SPEAKER_05]: He did not vote to convict in the impeachment, after January 6, and he spends all these years being servile and enabling Trump and Trump dumped him like a casino shrimp cocktail.

01:02:09.428 --> 01:02:24.021
[SPEAKER_05]: corn in suspense a decade of his life yeah surrendering his manhood in his dignity and it's like watching a cult member get kicked out of the cult because he didn't clap loud enough yeah you know and this is the foul stick in bargain you sacrifice your soul and then you fight out the devil also wants your parking spot

01:02:24.401 --> 01:02:32.563
[SPEAKER_05]: and it's Craigslist Faust, like it just, it wasn't people enough, and like, this is the family values party.

01:02:33.484 --> 01:02:44.787
[SPEAKER_05]: This guy's own AIDS called the FBI on him, if hypocrisy burned calories, can't pacts and would disappear, my friends, like Donald Trump and Doris candidates.

01:02:45.844 --> 01:03:05.321
[SPEAKER_05]: are we these are just primaries but in actual special elections he still zero for 13 this year no you're right which tells us it's going to be a lot like 2018 and 2022 when some folk didn't come down from the mountain to vote on voting day because Mr. Trump from the TV wasn't on the ballot so consider and I want to talk about Tala Rico but even if even if he loses

01:03:06.162 --> 01:03:13.267
[SPEAKER_05]: this means the Republican establishment is spending tens of millions of dollars to win an election they should have carried.

01:03:13.627 --> 01:03:16.208
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's not and it's not just the outflow.

01:03:16.268 --> 01:03:22.352
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not just that it's going to cost Republicans in Texas more than a hundred million dollars just to defend this piece of gun.

01:03:22.392 --> 01:03:22.893
[SPEAKER_01]: One seat.

01:03:23.733 --> 01:03:23.993
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

01:03:24.394 --> 01:03:26.815
[SPEAKER_04]: What's he with by the way I saw I saw Chris Hayes do a breakdown of it.

01:03:26.835 --> 01:03:31.738
[SPEAKER_04]: He said there's a county in Texas for the last election in 24 we're like 30,000 Republicans

01:03:35.696 --> 01:03:37.821
[SPEAKER_04]: There were 90 votes in this runoff.

01:03:38.408 --> 01:03:57.171
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, for that same just wow that that tells you how few people actually made the difference on this But please run can you know who you don't get bring the moderate back the the guy investigated by the FBI Who's co-workers accused him of bribery that that'll that'll normalize this wife is a state senator And who is divorcing him on biblical real life.

01:03:57.191 --> 01:03:57.711
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, she says biblical.

01:03:57.731 --> 01:03:58.932
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, she says biblical.

01:03:59.252 --> 01:04:07.073
[SPEAKER_05]: His wife says biblical reason And she's a fellow states in right anyway, so told us nothing and told us everything Exactly, but also

01:04:07.633 --> 01:04:18.100
[SPEAKER_04]: Kornin was one of the biggest fund raisers for Republicans especially in this policy when it comes so that's not going to stop He's gonna he's gonna raise funds for this guy.

01:04:18.120 --> 01:04:22.724
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't under a stand No, I don't think he's going to go

01:04:23.504 --> 01:04:24.445
[SPEAKER_01]: for teletoe.

01:04:24.485 --> 01:04:28.487
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to raise money for everybody down ticket, but not necessarily past.

01:04:28.507 --> 01:04:35.950
[SPEAKER_04]: That was one of the things that I noticed is that I have noticed that Corning has done this, Mitch McConnell used to do this crap too.

01:04:36.471 --> 01:04:42.093
[SPEAKER_04]: And you're able to see, especially if you're somebody like us who's, you know, I mean, we have our heads and the stuff we see at all the time.

01:04:42.494 --> 01:04:46.736
[SPEAKER_04]: So, Corning kept being asked, reporters kept asking, so are you going to, you know, backpacks

01:04:51.178 --> 01:04:53.399
[SPEAKER_04]: I will back the Republican ticket.

01:04:53.819 --> 01:04:55.960
[SPEAKER_04]: And they're like, OK, so that means you're going to back Paxton.

01:04:55.980 --> 01:04:59.701
[SPEAKER_04]: And he said, I will back the Republican ticket repeated multiple times.

01:05:00.201 --> 01:05:02.542
[SPEAKER_04]: Which means I'm backing the Republicans.

01:05:03.202 --> 01:05:06.123
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not saying anything again to take it for him.

01:05:06.643 --> 01:05:16.029
[SPEAKER_04]: But I ain't necessarily saying anything for him either even if even if corn and still raises money He ain't gonna be raising the amount of money Think corn is gonna discover a spine now.

01:05:16.389 --> 01:05:23.394
[SPEAKER_05]: I think so 74 at a 74 I think so Water for Bush and Cheney and carried water for Trump and Pence and then I think now.

01:05:23.534 --> 01:05:23.954
[SPEAKER_05]: He's gonna.

01:05:23.974 --> 01:05:27.156
[SPEAKER_04]: I do think so And he married our friend Anita from Cheney Antonio.

01:05:27.236 --> 01:05:29.318
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think he was there judge that married him.

01:05:29.358 --> 01:05:31.339
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't marry her Specifically.

01:05:31.379 --> 01:05:32.260
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, right, but

01:05:34.561 --> 01:05:43.767
[SPEAKER_04]: I think you know there is a little Anakin Skywalker Darth Vader in there, a hint of it possibly.

01:05:43.787 --> 01:05:55.234
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, we're, you know, uh, incarnate in that he may be looking at his age and things and going, I'm just saying, I don't think he's going to be raising money with the vigor that he would be raising it.

01:05:55.454 --> 01:05:55.674
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

01:05:55.774 --> 01:05:56.054
[SPEAKER_04]: I agree.

01:05:56.275 --> 01:05:59.837
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what he would see when his votes are from now until January.

01:06:00.317 --> 01:06:09.603
[SPEAKER_04]: But when you're spending as much money as the Republican Party is going to be spending to defend this monster in Paxton and you're not bringing in money, the way that you used to be bringing in money.

01:06:09.823 --> 01:06:10.704
[SPEAKER_04]: Corned and voted.

01:06:10.724 --> 01:06:13.546
[SPEAKER_05]: Not to convict him and then Trump endorsed the other guy.

01:06:13.766 --> 01:06:28.716
[SPEAKER_05]: So he learned what all the contractors, all the wives, everybody learns, no, it's never loyalty, it's always obedience, no loyalty is a thing that goes both ways and watching these men grubble to this criminal for 10 years and to see him just discard them.

01:06:29.256 --> 01:06:31.457
[SPEAKER_05]: to scarred them like tainted sushi when it's done.

01:06:31.657 --> 01:06:32.897
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just, it's amazing.

01:06:32.917 --> 01:06:34.437
[SPEAKER_04]: It's why to me, it's gonna be even better.

01:06:35.177 --> 01:06:36.157
[SPEAKER_04]: I am so excited.

01:06:36.298 --> 01:06:44.119
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know when the date is, but I know that at some point here, James Tallerico and Jasmine Crocket are going to go out and get a weight for that.

01:06:44.139 --> 01:06:44.919
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't pay an advantage.

01:06:44.999 --> 01:06:48.340
[SPEAKER_05]: I want to say the way I would have killed to see Jasmine Crocket debate, Ken Paxton as well.

01:06:48.500 --> 01:06:49.140
[SPEAKER_05]: But you need to.

01:06:49.200 --> 01:06:50.300
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, absolutely.

01:06:50.340 --> 01:06:50.900
[SPEAKER_05]: No, what about that?

01:06:51.201 --> 01:06:52.401
[SPEAKER_05]: Can we talk about Tallerico?

01:06:52.501 --> 01:06:53.401
[SPEAKER_05]: Good, good, good.

01:06:53.441 --> 01:06:54.721
[SPEAKER_05]: How they're attacking him now?

01:06:54.921 --> 01:06:55.201
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh my God.

01:06:55.221 --> 01:06:57.582
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, they have, because they kiss, he's so clean.

01:07:01.183 --> 01:07:05.504
[SPEAKER_05]: Did you all, you all heard that the line that he used and he's a Christian who doesn't hate trans people.

01:07:05.524 --> 01:07:06.204
[SPEAKER_05]: What's wrong with him?

01:07:07.045 --> 01:07:11.126
[SPEAKER_04]: He's like, I've been eating barbecue since before Ken Pax then started racking up charges.

01:07:11.226 --> 01:07:13.727
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like, yeah, that's a perfect thing.

01:07:13.747 --> 01:07:15.587
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, if you were vegan, who cares?

01:07:15.687 --> 01:07:21.229
[SPEAKER_05]: And even if you were a trans man with their saying, all manhood stuff, it's all, it's all gay stuff.

01:07:21.249 --> 01:07:22.129
[SPEAKER_05]: It's all times being a stuff.

01:07:22.489 --> 01:07:24.210
[SPEAKER_05]: All, the gay dog whistles.

01:07:24.870 --> 01:07:27.693
[SPEAKER_05]: Because they can't find any crimes or affairs or indictments.

01:07:27.773 --> 01:07:28.213
[SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.

01:07:28.233 --> 01:07:32.296
[SPEAKER_05]: Exhaustments or whistleblower complaints or coup attempts related to this guy.

01:07:32.316 --> 01:07:37.500
[SPEAKER_05]: This guy's like, Talerego's like the youth pastor who politely tells the elders why Jesus would hate every bill.

01:07:37.620 --> 01:07:38.241
[SPEAKER_05]: They just passed.

01:07:38.341 --> 01:07:48.188
[SPEAKER_05]: And so, like, images, you're so clean politically that you're opponents have to scream, I heard he eats kale, he eats kale, oh, oh, I can't see it.

01:07:48.428 --> 01:07:50.870
[SPEAKER_05]: He says, he's a threat to our way of life.

01:07:51.230 --> 01:07:53.772
[SPEAKER_05]: He's a vegan who thinks God is non-binary.

01:07:53.852 --> 01:07:59.077
[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm like, you're an impeached and dited bribe taker who thinks God is a prop.

01:07:59.537 --> 01:08:00.858
[SPEAKER_05]: This guy's how to read him.

01:08:01.178 --> 01:08:07.043
[SPEAKER_05]: They're going to paint him as radical because they don't know what normal human being sound like anymore.

01:08:07.103 --> 01:08:11.707
[SPEAKER_05]: His whole vibe is like, hey, guys, I brought a Bible in a public school textbook and emotional maturity.

01:08:11.827 --> 01:08:12.787
[SPEAKER_05]: And they're, okay, tell us!

01:08:13.648 --> 01:08:25.322
[SPEAKER_05]: And here's the thing, Calarico is brilliant because he's got a gift that Obama has, he's got a gift of good jazz jazz, he's got a gift of Kevin Spacey has, he's always the most relaxed guy in the room.

01:08:25.815 --> 01:08:28.617
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, always the most relaxed.

01:08:28.778 --> 01:08:30.559
[SPEAKER_05]: I've never this guy is not a good guy.

01:08:30.579 --> 01:08:32.681
[SPEAKER_01]: It's quite a him to Kevin Spacey not a good thing.

01:08:33.081 --> 01:08:45.132
[SPEAKER_05]: No, but what I'm saying is, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

01:08:52.818 --> 01:08:58.365
[SPEAKER_05]: He's so like Obama and Buttigieg, good at taking complex wonky stuff and make it accessible for mortals like me.

01:08:58.405 --> 01:08:58.685
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

01:08:58.725 --> 01:09:04.733
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, he's like he was grown in a lab to reassure suburban moms during airplane turbulence.

01:09:04.753 --> 01:09:05.374
[SPEAKER_05]: You know what I'm saying?

01:09:05.394 --> 01:09:05.514
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

01:09:05.594 --> 01:09:05.734
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

01:09:05.854 --> 01:09:07.076
[SPEAKER_05]: So good at this.

01:09:07.636 --> 01:09:10.660
[SPEAKER_05]: So Paxton versus Talarico, who again.

01:09:11.926 --> 01:09:12.988
[SPEAKER_05]: Here's what my book is about.

01:09:13.168 --> 01:09:17.573
[SPEAKER_05]: The fake Christians are the ones who do the opposite of Jesus and dress it up in churchy talk.

01:09:17.933 --> 01:09:18.214
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

01:09:18.574 --> 01:09:22.379
[SPEAKER_05]: And the real Christians are the ones who actually talk about what Christ talked about.

01:09:22.839 --> 01:09:23.019
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.

01:09:23.039 --> 01:09:29.247
[SPEAKER_05]: And fight for the things Christ teaches and you don't need to believe in bringing people back from the dead to get that.

01:09:29.767 --> 01:09:32.650
[SPEAKER_05]: And Talariko is talking about the actual teachings of Christ.

01:09:32.670 --> 01:09:38.295
[SPEAKER_05]: So this thing is like a documentary about these two alternate timelines for Christianity in America.

01:09:39.396 --> 01:09:44.981
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I mean, this is like the indicted and peached culture, culture, war, letcher goblin.

01:09:45.381 --> 01:09:45.601
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.

01:09:45.962 --> 01:09:54.509
[SPEAKER_05]: Versus this like polite youth pastor who probably apologizes to couches after he bumps into children, I'm saying like certainly not like J.D.

01:09:54.569 --> 01:09:54.930
[SPEAKER_05]: Vance.

01:09:55.470 --> 01:09:58.292
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, no, but I mean, I want to see that to be, too.

01:09:58.572 --> 01:10:01.774
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, well, that's just, this is going to be a good half.

01:10:02.315 --> 01:10:07.238
[SPEAKER_04]: And I did, I, I have mentioned a couple of people about the whole thing of, of, platters, not great.

01:10:07.658 --> 01:10:09.439
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not, I just don't want to big fan of him for no reason.

01:10:09.459 --> 01:10:10.140
[SPEAKER_04]: No, he is not great.

01:10:10.260 --> 01:10:10.980
[SPEAKER_04]: But he's still up.

01:10:11.100 --> 01:10:12.061
[SPEAKER_04]: He's had two things.

01:10:12.361 --> 01:10:13.122
[SPEAKER_05]: He's had two things.

01:10:13.162 --> 01:10:13.482
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

01:10:13.502 --> 01:10:14.283
[SPEAKER_05]: The tattoo thing.

01:10:14.343 --> 01:10:14.683
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.

01:10:14.743 --> 01:10:15.283
[SPEAKER_05]: You didn't know.

01:10:15.483 --> 01:10:16.144
[SPEAKER_05]: I understand this.

01:10:16.664 --> 01:10:18.145
[SPEAKER_05]: And yet, 20 years to get rid of it.

01:10:18.365 --> 01:10:22.988
[SPEAKER_05]: He did try to, he did try to get it removed or covered before he began the campaign.

01:10:23.048 --> 01:10:23.549
[SPEAKER_05]: So at least,

01:10:24.999 --> 01:10:40.464
[SPEAKER_04]: but to me, but he's up eight on common couple of the post that already say that down in Texas, their Telerico is up eight nine on Pakistan already and I'm like, it's what's a platter needs to apologize for his comments about.

01:10:40.664 --> 01:10:41.424
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely does.

01:10:41.504 --> 01:10:44.505
[SPEAKER_05]: Women female abuse survivors in the military.

01:10:44.625 --> 01:10:45.206
[SPEAKER_05]: Absolutely.

01:10:45.226 --> 01:10:45.806
[SPEAKER_05]: Apologize to.

01:10:45.886 --> 01:10:48.867
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, more than anything else because I don't believe he's a Nazi at all.

01:10:48.907 --> 01:10:50.127
[SPEAKER_05]: I see the causes he fights for it.

01:10:50.147 --> 01:10:50.867
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm like, yeah, I get it.

01:10:50.887 --> 01:10:52.868
[SPEAKER_05]: You were a douchebag who got a stupid tattoo and

01:10:53.308 --> 01:10:54.008
[SPEAKER_05]: Now, you know better.

01:10:54.048 --> 01:10:56.449
[SPEAKER_05]: So I'm all about the forgiveness, but there's another concern.

01:10:56.469 --> 01:11:01.070
[SPEAKER_04]: My biggest concern is platinum is more that he's going to be somebody like Fetterman or a mansion.

01:11:01.190 --> 01:11:01.770
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, me too.

01:11:01.910 --> 01:11:02.830
[SPEAKER_04]: That's my concern.

01:11:02.970 --> 01:11:03.150
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

01:11:03.390 --> 01:11:04.851
[SPEAKER_05]: Me too, the old Dayton switch, I know.

01:11:04.871 --> 01:11:06.411
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, what what what can we do?

01:11:06.491 --> 01:11:08.572
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like this or Susan Collins again.

01:11:08.852 --> 01:11:09.552
[SPEAKER_04]: She's worse.

01:11:09.812 --> 01:11:10.472
[SPEAKER_05]: That's why I like.

01:11:10.792 --> 01:11:12.692
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't even turn about Susan Collins.

01:11:13.313 --> 01:11:15.093
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry to set it just any.

01:11:15.412 --> 01:11:23.559
[SPEAKER_05]: No, but like, that's why Talorico is so brilliant because he really is running against the most corrupt politician in America who's not a racist landlord from Queens.

01:11:23.779 --> 01:11:29.324
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, like, if evil burned calories can Pakistan would vanish, right?

01:11:29.344 --> 01:11:33.607
[SPEAKER_05]: It would be like 95, oh, Zempicks at once, right?

01:11:33.707 --> 01:11:36.130
[SPEAKER_01]: And what I said, they're gonna say, I see.

01:11:36.150 --> 01:11:37.511
[SPEAKER_01]: Wait, like, 70 pounds now.

01:11:38.393 --> 01:12:05.535
[SPEAKER_04]: These people, these people, they live next to, I mean, we'll have Anita and Karen in the bar tomorrow night from True Blue politics, but we've asked Anita about this before, and it's like, how do you live next to, they go to church, literally some of them go to the same churches as the the Conan voters, if you will, and I'm like, how to help you look at each other at that and be like, oh, this guy is somebody, how do you, you advocate?

01:12:07.897 --> 01:12:29.840
[SPEAKER_05]: for that, you know, hey, vote for the guy who's told me to say 17 hundred years, the racket has been, you talk about Jesus and you use churchy talk and then you don't fight for anything he says because Jesus' teachings are incompatible with power and Jesus' teachings are and this is important, incompatible with having a hierarchy of human beings.

01:12:30.680 --> 01:12:31.701
[SPEAKER_05]: Absolutely.

01:12:31.721 --> 01:12:41.768
[SPEAKER_05]: You can't have a class of humans that is better than another class, based on your religion or your ethnicity or your nationality, it is all a rejection of Jesus and you can't teach that.

01:12:42.109 --> 01:12:46.672
[SPEAKER_05]: You can't tell people that, for they had a firewall for over 1,000 years of Latin.

01:12:47.072 --> 01:12:49.474
[SPEAKER_05]: People would go to church at the priest like to talk them.

01:12:49.514 --> 01:12:50.255
[SPEAKER_05]: What the book said?

01:12:50.615 --> 01:12:55.859
[SPEAKER_05]: No, the church was like a filter, they had their own firewall built in.

01:12:58.167 --> 01:13:03.308
[SPEAKER_05]: never learned about Jesus' teachings on institutions, because those were filtered through institutions.

01:13:03.568 --> 01:13:05.029
[SPEAKER_05]: And that is how it's in this day.

01:13:05.209 --> 01:13:07.889
[SPEAKER_01]: And great and Peter made.

01:13:08.349 --> 01:13:10.750
[SPEAKER_05]: They don't know that they know their taught.

01:13:10.810 --> 01:13:13.270
[SPEAKER_05]: Jesus is miracles in Son of God and he built this church.

01:13:13.590 --> 01:13:15.491
[SPEAKER_05]: They don't know what he said about rich people.

01:13:15.531 --> 01:13:17.071
[SPEAKER_05]: They don't know what he said about labor.

01:13:17.331 --> 01:13:23.232
[SPEAKER_05]: They don't know what he said about how a Christian nation would have to take care of the poor welcome the stranger and be kind to convicts.

01:13:23.493 --> 01:13:24.233
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't know it.

01:13:24.293 --> 01:13:25.233
[SPEAKER_05]: They haven't been taught it.

01:13:25.827 --> 01:13:30.590
[SPEAKER_05]: Which, you know, well, that's, that's why I do a penulent of noxious comedy about it.

01:13:31.331 --> 01:13:33.112
[SPEAKER_05]: Ha ha ha, it's good comedy.

01:13:33.312 --> 01:13:34.854
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, can we keep your round from the round, John?

01:13:34.994 --> 01:13:35.714
[SPEAKER_05]: Sure thing, my dear.

01:13:35.734 --> 01:13:36.455
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you, sir.

01:13:37.415 --> 01:13:38.516
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you very much, brother.

01:13:38.736 --> 01:13:43.620
[SPEAKER_04]: John Fuegel sang here on a Thursday night as he often is and we love that when he's here.

01:13:44.000 --> 01:13:46.442
[SPEAKER_04]: Fresh new drink, do what you got to do and come on back.

01:13:46.522 --> 01:13:49.044
[SPEAKER_04]: It's Thursday night with Jody and John and me and you.

01:13:49.564 --> 01:13:50.705
[SPEAKER_04]: Here's Paltachmore, hang on.

01:13:55.192 --> 01:13:58.753
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll be right back, after we pay some bills at the politics bar.

01:14:05.914 --> 01:14:08.514
[SPEAKER_04]: Can you believe it's last call already on this Thursday night?

01:14:08.934 --> 01:14:10.995
[SPEAKER_04]: We have so much fun to time those super fast.

01:14:11.075 --> 01:14:12.755
[SPEAKER_04]: It's part of the reason you guys hang out with us.

01:14:12.775 --> 01:14:14.175
[SPEAKER_04]: You're like, holy crap, man.

01:14:14.495 --> 01:14:15.676
[SPEAKER_04]: I was able to get down to my day.

01:14:15.856 --> 01:14:17.196
[SPEAKER_04]: I was able to understand the politics.

01:14:17.516 --> 01:14:18.556
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not pulling my hair out.

01:14:18.716 --> 01:14:19.236
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm laughing.

01:14:19.676 --> 01:14:20.216
[SPEAKER_04]: And holy crap.

01:14:20.496 --> 01:14:21.997
[SPEAKER_04]: Now I get to go deal with the rest of the seven home.

01:14:22.137 --> 01:14:22.597
[SPEAKER_04]: It was great.

01:14:23.357 --> 01:14:26.840
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, we like when you hang with us, of course, maybe you're listening in a different time of day.

01:14:27.180 --> 01:14:30.222
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe you're one of those future people, and you want to help us out.

01:14:30.643 --> 01:14:33.665
[SPEAKER_04]: Instead of being subscribed just on your podcast player, subscribe to the podcast.

01:14:33.685 --> 01:14:34.746
[SPEAKER_05]: What's wrong with you, people?

01:14:34.786 --> 01:14:37.028
[SPEAKER_05]: Listen to this mess, subscribe it every way possible.

01:14:37.408 --> 01:14:38.489
[SPEAKER_04]: See exactly, John's right.

01:14:38.509 --> 01:14:39.950
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, it's just $6 a month.

01:14:39.990 --> 01:14:40.911
[SPEAKER_04]: You get the podcast.

01:14:40.931 --> 01:14:44.414
[SPEAKER_04]: You get the drink of the day with the recipe, and you get the news on tab, check it out.

01:14:44.434 --> 01:14:45.334
[SPEAKER_04]: It's details are all there.

01:14:45.635 --> 01:14:46.535
[SPEAKER_04]: At the podcast, plastic.

01:14:46.696 --> 01:14:46.996
[SPEAKER_04]: .com.

01:14:47.940 --> 01:15:07.902
[SPEAKER_04]: um uh so obviously there's been other things going on the corruption angle by the way uh we have a whole series of stuff we we've started putting this one in the news on tap John the corruption land section because there's just so much freaking corruption um just and it's the blightness of it.

01:15:08.863 --> 01:15:15.108
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't even like the great thing is like everyone listening to you is thinking of a different thing right now.

01:15:15.148 --> 01:15:15.768
[SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.

01:15:15.808 --> 01:15:20.272
[SPEAKER_05]: Because I you know what I thought of not the slush funds and not the phones and not the crypto.

01:15:21.613 --> 01:15:23.254
[SPEAKER_05]: And not the tribes from Amazon.

01:15:23.654 --> 01:15:25.195
[SPEAKER_05]: I thought about how they had those 55 dollar.

01:15:26.509 --> 01:15:35.754
[SPEAKER_05]: America 250 hats for sale on the Trump family website, which also sells an anti-aging formula for $100 on the Trump family website.

01:15:36.215 --> 01:15:42.338
[SPEAKER_05]: Those hats were placed on the table for the cabinet meeting that was televised the other day.

01:15:42.418 --> 01:15:43.879
[SPEAKER_05]: So all the cameras caught

01:15:44.259 --> 01:15:50.289
[SPEAKER_05]: Trump is literally putting his website merch into cabinet meetings on television.

01:15:50.790 --> 01:15:51.791
[SPEAKER_05]: That's where I went to.

01:15:52.572 --> 01:15:56.438
[SPEAKER_05]: I know every listener thought of a different piece of corruption, but that's my favorite this week.

01:15:56.639 --> 01:15:59.083
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't watch his stuff, so oh my god.

01:15:59.543 --> 01:16:00.003
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah.

01:16:00.143 --> 01:16:01.204
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, the cabinet meeting.

01:16:01.244 --> 01:16:01.824
[SPEAKER_05]: There's prop.

01:16:01.844 --> 01:16:05.665
[SPEAKER_05]: There's hat props in front of every one of those askers.

01:16:06.966 --> 01:16:11.687
[SPEAKER_05]: It was already embarrassing watching these groubling meat puppets, polishes, loafers, and front of their kids.

01:16:11.707 --> 01:16:13.788
[SPEAKER_05]: I think there's a merch on the table's folks.

01:16:13.948 --> 01:16:22.351
[SPEAKER_04]: I think as our clip from CNN of where somebody had done all of the the ass kissing and it was like 90 seconds worth, where they just cut out all the ass kissing.

01:16:22.371 --> 01:16:25.512
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm going, that was, but there's there's there's there's that's

01:16:28.873 --> 01:16:29.093
[SPEAKER_04]: course.

01:16:29.133 --> 01:16:31.194
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, there's there's the reflecting pool, John.

01:16:32.034 --> 01:16:35.095
[SPEAKER_04]: There's the contract actually has an inflated profit margin.

01:16:35.115 --> 01:16:37.195
[SPEAKER_04]: And it looks like they he is.

01:16:37.455 --> 01:16:42.856
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, he's taking the money directly from when you go to our national parks and funding that into crap like that.

01:16:42.876 --> 01:16:43.077
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

01:16:43.297 --> 01:16:43.737
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

01:16:43.757 --> 01:16:48.218
[SPEAKER_05]: That's what's ever been that's all it's that's all he's ever done and it's going to take

01:16:49.118 --> 01:16:55.541
[SPEAKER_05]: Berlin had to be in rubble before those people could understand they had been defrauded by a con man.

01:16:55.702 --> 01:16:56.842
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

01:16:57.002 --> 01:16:59.844
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you're starting to see some of the people take a step out.

01:16:59.884 --> 01:17:04.946
[SPEAKER_04]: There is some debate as to whether former DNI

01:17:06.227 --> 01:17:32.582
[SPEAKER_04]: uh... is uh... leaving because her husband supposedly has bone cancer whether i sure i'm sure he does i look if he doesn't bless her as you know what exactly exactly i hope they get but gets it at least in remission if not cured i'm right i hope that happens i hope he'd have a long and healthy life and now let's tell the truth about her for a few years well that's that's just it because there's some scuggle about the fact of of of her going you know

01:17:33.763 --> 01:17:52.780
[SPEAKER_04]: I've said this before here at the bar, and one of my good advisors, my people that I know in life that gives me some advice, said this years ago, so there are two reasons we do almost everything, there's a good reason and a right reason and the good reason is the reason that we tell everyone else and the right reason is the truth.

01:17:53.796 --> 01:18:00.760
[SPEAKER_04]: And the good reason might be that her husband has bone cancer in that, you know, she's trying to be a good spouse and, you know, and that's fine.

01:18:00.780 --> 01:18:01.580
[SPEAKER_04]: That's that's great.

01:18:01.620 --> 01:18:14.408
[SPEAKER_04]: And you know, we wish him luck on defeating that stuff, but the right reason might be the fact that you're not giving up that health care package when her husband says that the right reason might only you notice that that she's not technically leaving until what is an end of July.

01:18:14.948 --> 01:18:18.550
[SPEAKER_04]: She's she's leaving a position, but she's not technically so.

01:18:19.090 --> 01:18:21.031
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, she'll be like him on the interesting know.

01:18:21.051 --> 01:18:21.551
[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, no.

01:18:21.591 --> 01:18:22.971
[SPEAKER_05]: He's going to keep them on the paper.

01:18:22.991 --> 01:18:23.512
[SPEAKER_05]: Of course.

01:18:23.552 --> 01:18:25.032
[SPEAKER_05]: They can bounce us.

01:18:25.432 --> 01:18:30.894
[SPEAKER_05]: We will now be paying to silence them after paying them to break because they're all looking for partis.

01:18:31.194 --> 01:18:32.234
[SPEAKER_05]: That's what all of it is.

01:18:32.294 --> 01:18:33.115
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what the question is.

01:18:33.175 --> 01:18:35.916
[SPEAKER_04]: The question is, is what was your real motivation for going on?

01:18:36.036 --> 01:18:36.976
[SPEAKER_04]: I laid a piece out.

01:18:36.996 --> 01:18:38.196
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm done and I would love.

01:18:38.236 --> 01:18:39.257
[SPEAKER_01]: No, they push her out.

01:18:39.357 --> 01:18:39.737
[SPEAKER_01]: We know that.

01:18:40.197 --> 01:18:43.060
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, what has ever been her real motivation?

01:18:43.360 --> 01:18:43.721
[SPEAKER_04]: herself.

01:18:44.161 --> 01:18:46.483
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, that's pretty much, you know, tell see Gabbard.

01:18:46.924 --> 01:18:49.106
[SPEAKER_05]: Tell see Gabbard has had more rebrands.

01:18:49.346 --> 01:18:49.587
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

01:18:49.907 --> 01:18:50.988
[SPEAKER_05]: Then HBO.

01:18:53.010 --> 01:18:55.813
[SPEAKER_05]: We had HBO, and then we had HBO on demand.

01:18:56.637 --> 01:19:12.961
[SPEAKER_05]: And then we had HBO go and then we had HBO now remember that I do it for a man There is HBO Max and then it was Max right and now it's transition back to HBO Max again So Tulsi is not a shaped shifter She's not a flip flopper.

01:19:12.981 --> 01:19:13.761
[SPEAKER_05]: She's a shape shifter.

01:19:13.781 --> 01:19:22.583
[SPEAKER_05]: You know what I mean like like like like she has evolved Like a Netflix algorithm desperately trying to figure out how to keep a board person watching

01:19:23.624 --> 01:19:24.224
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's what she's like.

01:19:24.244 --> 01:19:24.705
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you still watching?

01:19:24.725 --> 01:19:25.225
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you still watching?

01:19:25.245 --> 01:19:25.786
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you still watching?

01:19:25.806 --> 01:19:26.306
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:26.326 --> 01:19:27.267
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:27.287 --> 01:19:27.767
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:27.827 --> 01:19:28.468
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:28.528 --> 01:19:29.128
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:29.148 --> 01:19:29.689
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:29.709 --> 01:19:30.309
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:30.349 --> 01:19:30.970
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:30.990 --> 01:19:31.830
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:31.871 --> 01:19:32.631
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:32.651 --> 01:19:33.232
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:33.272 --> 01:19:33.912
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:33.932 --> 01:19:34.653
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:34.673 --> 01:19:35.373
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:35.393 --> 01:19:36.054
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:36.074 --> 01:19:36.614
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:36.694 --> 01:19:37.535
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:37.555 --> 01:19:38.075
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:38.196 --> 01:19:39.076
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:39.096 --> 01:19:39.637
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:39.657 --> 01:19:40.317
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:40.337 --> 01:19:41.158
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:41.278 --> 01:19:41.938
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:41.959 --> 01:19:42.679
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:42.699 --> 01:19:43.640
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you still watching?

01:19:44.120 --> 01:19:48.663
[SPEAKER_04]: But by the way 69 is just not it's not a good password.

01:19:48.803 --> 01:20:00.531
[SPEAKER_05]: No, it's not I found that out the hard way But yeah, I would call her the most the most fake you can blow that off I would stand on John Fetterman's coffee table and say this about this I mean

01:20:01.862 --> 01:20:19.076
[SPEAKER_04]: I just, it's, you are starting to see a lot more weakness in the people who, and it's Trump, yes, I wish that there are, the folks that we know in the mainstream would stop being, or Trump is stronger, he is stronger and stronger about a smaller and smaller group of people.

01:20:19.116 --> 01:20:19.857
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly, right.

01:20:20.317 --> 01:20:21.698
[SPEAKER_05]: And by the way, that's, that's what's happened.

01:20:21.718 --> 01:20:22.859
[SPEAKER_05]: That's Christian nationalism.

01:20:23.079 --> 01:20:23.740
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it is.

01:20:30.388 --> 01:20:41.732
[SPEAKER_05]: Christian nationalism is growing, which means as the religious population gets smaller, the fringe is increasing, and this is what's happening to Trump right now.

01:20:41.792 --> 01:20:46.574
[SPEAKER_05]: He is hemorrhaging independence, and so the crazies are going to double down harder than ever.

01:20:46.634 --> 01:20:52.456
[SPEAKER_05]: He is very popular with the worst white people, but he is shedding them every day.

01:20:52.516 --> 01:20:54.476
[SPEAKER_05]: He still has more than enough to do some damage.

01:20:54.837 --> 01:20:55.197
[SPEAKER_05]: But again,

01:20:55.937 --> 01:20:59.619
[SPEAKER_05]: put these primaries aside, he's over 13 this year in special elections.

01:20:59.839 --> 01:20:59.979
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

01:21:00.099 --> 01:21:08.063
[SPEAKER_05]: You can love Trump and hate the libs and hate all be racist as Jabbaba doesn't mean you're going to get in your car and drive to vote for this ticket again in November.

01:21:08.403 --> 01:21:08.603
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

01:21:09.484 --> 01:21:11.705
[SPEAKER_05]: And I mean a lot of people just not going to feel like voting for this.

01:21:12.865 --> 01:21:15.106
[SPEAKER_05]: because they will be able to afford the gas to get there.

01:21:15.486 --> 01:21:16.126
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.

01:21:16.166 --> 01:21:17.546
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's the other thing.

01:21:17.606 --> 01:21:20.427
[SPEAKER_04]: Is the economy just keeps getting worse and worse.

01:21:20.467 --> 01:21:25.308
[SPEAKER_04]: We have a whole section today in the news on tap called Truppinomics is failed.

01:21:25.388 --> 01:21:30.589
[SPEAKER_04]: Jobless claims are up slightly, but mostly, you know, it's still the no higher no fire.

01:21:31.289 --> 01:21:42.152
[SPEAKER_04]: Inflation has hit an annual rate of 3.8% cornflation hit 3.3, GDP for first quarter was revised down to 1.6 from 2, and here's the biggest kicker.

01:21:43.593 --> 01:21:46.536
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm waiting to see who in the financial folks.

01:21:46.656 --> 01:21:49.939
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe, maybe Steph Rool will talk about it later tonight.

01:21:50.439 --> 01:21:51.981
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe I'll leave the other show to talk about it a little bit more.

01:21:52.682 --> 01:21:55.704
[SPEAKER_04]: The US personal savings rate has dropped sharply.

01:21:56.497 --> 01:21:58.338
[SPEAKER_04]: It is now near historic lows.

01:21:58.358 --> 01:22:02.939
[SPEAKER_04]: The last time that it was this bad was as the financial crisis was building.

01:22:03.399 --> 01:22:07.120
[SPEAKER_04]: And John McCain was ducking out of the David Letterman show.

01:22:08.461 --> 01:22:12.302
[SPEAKER_04]: And you know, things were really bad right there in the fall of 2008.

01:22:12.542 --> 01:22:21.125
[SPEAKER_04]: That's about the last time because people are, they've done everything they can to keep going with the lifestyle that they've had.

01:22:21.985 --> 01:22:31.558
[SPEAKER_04]: And they have now trained their secondary incomes and their savings and whatever else, people are on really, really thin edges now.

01:22:31.898 --> 01:22:36.825
[SPEAKER_04]: And I mean, I'm worried about it because I don't, you know, yeah, we are.

01:22:36.845 --> 01:22:37.385
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm with you.

01:22:39.397 --> 01:22:46.499
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I mean, America is turning into a reality show called food medicine rent picked to hunger games.

01:22:46.659 --> 01:22:49.120
[SPEAKER_05]: And like the hunger games, it's the hunger games.

01:22:49.460 --> 01:22:57.362
[SPEAKER_05]: Senators are getting pepper sprayed and prosecutors are getting caught rigging grand juries and the Supreme Court has let all these people put out these racist maps.

01:22:58.422 --> 01:23:03.024
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, the ghost of my civics class is like chainsmoking somewhere, watching all these.

01:23:03.364 --> 01:23:06.465
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just, it's crazy and it's bleak, but that's why we need good people.

01:23:07.445 --> 01:23:08.205
[SPEAKER_05]: more than ever.

01:23:08.225 --> 01:23:11.287
[SPEAKER_05]: That's why men with compassion and guts need to stand up.

01:23:11.327 --> 01:23:13.188
[SPEAKER_05]: That's why strong women need to stand up.

01:23:13.228 --> 01:23:17.109
[SPEAKER_05]: That's why we need to be reminded that TV's not real.

01:23:17.749 --> 01:23:20.050
[SPEAKER_05]: Internet's not real and there are good people.

01:23:20.751 --> 01:23:23.672
[SPEAKER_05]: There are kind people and there's more of us and there are of them.

01:23:24.307 --> 01:23:43.216
[SPEAKER_05]: and all this gas lighting that these screens are forcing into our eyeballs can't let rob us from the reality that we have to show up and fight for those we don't know because I mean I'm fine being this experiment in the Anthropocene but we're looking a lot like late-stage Empire here and you know I'd like to think that America has some more years left after

01:23:44.256 --> 01:23:45.957
[SPEAKER_05]: MMA fight on the White House launch.

01:23:46.017 --> 01:23:47.118
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.

01:23:47.218 --> 01:23:47.919
[SPEAKER_04]: That whole thing.

01:23:48.219 --> 01:23:49.760
[SPEAKER_04]: It looks so trash.

01:23:49.800 --> 01:23:51.722
[SPEAKER_04]: The picture that I'm sure you've seen it too, John.

01:23:51.742 --> 01:23:55.244
[SPEAKER_04]: They're the picture of how that used to be with the East Wing and the whole.

01:23:55.745 --> 01:23:58.427
[SPEAKER_05]: And the trick a picture of Reagan's public education cuts.

01:23:58.607 --> 01:24:00.588
[SPEAKER_02]: It does.

01:24:01.469 --> 01:24:03.250
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I would agree with that.

01:24:03.450 --> 01:24:03.731
[SPEAKER_04]: It is.

01:24:06.192 --> 01:24:14.332
[SPEAKER_04]: There's going to be so much cleanup to do when this is all done, but that's one of the things that actually kind of gives me hope is that I'm like, okay, after this.

01:24:15.312 --> 01:24:19.894
[SPEAKER_04]: there's going to be no more reason to be like, well, let's go back to doing things the way we used to do.

01:24:20.214 --> 01:24:21.355
[SPEAKER_04]: No matter fact, let's do that.

01:24:21.375 --> 01:24:21.915
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.

01:24:21.955 --> 01:24:22.815
[SPEAKER_05]: I want to believe that.

01:24:22.915 --> 01:24:37.902
[SPEAKER_05]: I want someone to come in with an agenda that is as expansively helping non-millionaires as Joe Biden, but I want him to have the teeth of a, I want Glenn Kirchner to be our next head of DOJ.

01:24:39.042 --> 01:24:46.725
[SPEAKER_05]: I want Glenn Kirchner to be the attorney general and sick him on all of these people because I'm not a vindictive person but I do believe in the law.

01:24:46.865 --> 01:24:50.846
[SPEAKER_05]: We we need to scare the fascist back into their whole.

01:24:51.246 --> 01:24:53.987
[SPEAKER_05]: We need to make racist embarrassed again.

01:24:54.007 --> 01:24:58.988
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, reason the Star Wars prequel failed was because they didn't miss the obvious theme.

01:24:59.408 --> 01:25:04.650
[SPEAKER_05]: If you don't stay vigilant against authoritarianism, it'll come back 30 years later with a

01:25:05.588 --> 01:25:09.110
[SPEAKER_05]: And that should have been the whole theme of those movies, but we're witnessing it right now.

01:25:09.691 --> 01:25:13.493
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, they should have taken the theme from Andorra and put them through those movies a little bit.

01:25:13.633 --> 01:25:14.293
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

01:25:14.734 --> 01:25:16.355
[SPEAKER_04]: Also not have George Lucas direct.

01:25:16.395 --> 01:25:17.595
[SPEAKER_04]: That would not be that.

01:25:17.635 --> 01:25:19.136
[SPEAKER_05]: George Lucas did not direct any of those films.

01:25:19.156 --> 01:25:19.757
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no, I don't know.

01:25:19.777 --> 01:25:20.077
[SPEAKER_04]: That's true.

01:25:20.117 --> 01:25:20.557
[SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

01:25:20.597 --> 01:25:21.237
[SPEAKER_04]: That's anyway.

01:25:21.438 --> 01:25:23.639
[SPEAKER_04]: But still he produced them.

01:25:23.899 --> 01:25:24.499
[SPEAKER_05]: No, he did not.

01:25:24.519 --> 01:25:27.661
[SPEAKER_05]: George Lucas sold the rights and that's all Disney.

01:25:27.721 --> 01:25:27.941
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

01:25:28.001 --> 01:25:28.342

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like 30 is you.

01:25:48.270 --> 01:25:52.672
[SPEAKER_04]: You could write a new Star Wars movie like Colbert is doing the Lord of the Rings movie.

01:25:52.792 --> 01:26:08.619
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I could But what I really want to I have an idea for a sixth Indiana Jones movie with Harrison Ford is an 85 year old that I'm really attached to, but yeah Getting me I could I would I would I would print Star Wars to and by the way these people thinking that Mandalorian and Groke who is gonna be a failure

[SPEAKER_05]: The first character to be more popular than Darth Vader in the Nerdpoles.

01:26:16.345 --> 01:26:19.988
[SPEAKER_05]: And I don't think people realize it's not about the movie tickets.

01:26:20.088 --> 01:26:22.490
[SPEAKER_05]: They're gonna sell a lot of merch.

01:26:22.870 --> 01:26:25.432
[SPEAKER_05]: This movie's gonna make Disney a lot of money.

01:26:25.532 --> 01:26:27.274
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I can't wait to see it.

01:26:27.494 --> 01:26:30.416
[SPEAKER_05]: I can totally settle for a Star Wars movie that's just fun.

01:26:30.957 --> 01:26:36.641
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't need a Star Wars movie to heal my Gen X wounds that I've carried for decades like
