[SPEAKER_02]: He says there will never be a time when I want to hear about Donald's orange click
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
[SPEAKER_06]: just the way you literally at his knees.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, buddy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Daryl.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, Daryl.
[SPEAKER_02]: In the first round of today's news on tap, there is a little bit of news not news.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess you could call them about Trump's Middle East mess.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, but it's going on.
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't entirely know.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, good to know.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks piece out.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there is a one page memo that's been supposedly circulating to potentially end the conflict.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not really a deal.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's more like a pre-agreement to have a deal.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like a memo.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a deal before the deal, which by the way, actually the Obama administration did that with the JCPOA.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then they took what was at 21 months and hammered
[SPEAKER_02]: Basically, Donald is still being bledering.
[SPEAKER_02]: So while this deal is going on, he's still, oh, rock, punch them, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, shut up, Donnie, just shut the f*** up, Donnie.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's, mm-hm.
[SPEAKER_02]: The deal pretty much the sources, there are more and more sources confirming that whatever comes out of this, that the contours of the deal are basically going to be the JCPOA slightly different.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, without the nuclear,
[SPEAKER_02]: And without that, and without Barack Obama's name on it, but she's pretty much the biggest thing that Donald Trump didn't want on it, or Republicans, because how dare it have a black man's name on it?
[SPEAKER_02]: When the black man did it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm, show to you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, they can say that they're not racist.
[SPEAKER_02]: there we we should talk about we should talk a little bit about that because that affects the uh... the races that we're in a higher that affects the college california governor's race to uh... won't get to that a little bit later today all the way up by the way should say uh... bob sesca gonna be in our own problem is going to be in and uh... which is good because we also have uh... some stories today in the news on tap about pop bob we don't know that double trump is being a jackass to pop bob again and pop bob has a lot more popularity in this country
[SPEAKER_02]: pretty much in this country and around the world.
[SPEAKER_02]: The numbers are.
[SPEAKER_06]: This country is not Catholic.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, but Catholics, Protestants, non-religious folks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody loves Popeye.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's great.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, Frank was good.
[SPEAKER_06]: Popeye is good.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, we're getting better with our posts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I would hope so.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if this might considering how long that they've been around.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, they're getting better.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're actually starting to walk the walk.
[SPEAKER_02]: amazing how that works.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But we'll talk about that in a little bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Keeping going in that first round of the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love the one that you put.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the Trump regime had this whole escorting ships out of the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I had that for like what?
[SPEAKER_02]: 36 hours?
[SPEAKER_02]: At the most.
[SPEAKER_02]: Blustering Trump, Rekindles taco mockery from critics after backing down on his project freedom
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and when did he do it, by the way, yesterday?
[SPEAKER_06]: And on Taco Tuesday, and you actually said, is he gonna talk or it's like, why don't know?
[SPEAKER_06]: And then he did.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but, you know, delayed tacos are never good.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're soggy, and they just, they're...
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, if you're going to do that, just make a salad and keep the taco part out of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, just, just, sorry about that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, uh, satellite images also, there is a, uh, it's a story, uh, this one from the Washington Post.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have a gift like there for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, remember, they, there are still a few occasional people, uh, scattering, smattering of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're supposed to do some good work.
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is a decent story, uh, confirms that Iran hit far more U.S. military assets than the Trump regime reported.
[SPEAKER_02]: So once again, they were lying to everybody about the war.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wait a minute, wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_02]: The last time that we had a Republican administration that wasn't a Trump, they lied about a war.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I think the time before that, there is a Republican administration and they lied about a war.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think it's a theme, Jodie?
[SPEAKER_07]: Hey.
[SPEAKER_02]: Woo.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's your feature to cross, Steve.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then gives that look.
[SPEAKER_02]: Be kidding me.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's humming because if she'd say anything.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, we'd be off the FCC and we have the buzzer right anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: But in the growing cost of war section in the news on tap, oil prices did plunge today and market surged a little bit on the report that they're near to a deal, even though gas prices jumped past $4.50 a gallon.
[SPEAKER_02]: National average today, for $4.53.6 cents, Tuesday yesterday, it was $4.48.
[SPEAKER_06]: uh... week ago is for twenty two uh... last year it was three fifteen that's a dollar and thirty eight cents difference all i know is that everybody that lives in florida texas places where i've been uh... when i've been paying for forty or above they're freaking out
[SPEAKER_02]: There are a lot of people mid west, especially in, you know, folks who are listening to us on WCPT and Illinois.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even some of the folks who are listening in the cities on AM950.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mid west is getting hit pretty hard.
[SPEAKER_02]: Gas lane is basically 50% more.
[SPEAKER_02]: then before Donald and baby decided to start this work diesel and jet fuel are even worse.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if you look, by the way, new department transportation data shows airline spin 56.4% more on jet fuel in the month after the Iran wars.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, hence raising their prices, I get it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, because they don't want to follow spirit airlines out the
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, the secretary of the road rules.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, that guy that said that if Jet Blue had bought them, no, Jet Blue would also be gone.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because they would be carrying the debt of Jet Blue.
[SPEAKER_02]: The debt and of spirit.
[SPEAKER_06]: And them, and it's like seriously good.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's like saying, look, if you carry, if I carry you, if you get on my shoulders, then it actually halves the weight, because then it's, would just my way, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: And that, no.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I looked at diesel prices just by my house because both of the gas stations by my house sell diesel right it's 7.59
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's for diesel, just vehicles.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's not as pump diesel.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, that's an actual, you know, like, that's not like a major truck, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: That's not one of the other types of fuel like.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's like a 16 wheeler or something.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, 16 wheelers pull into my gas station, mark my words.
[SPEAKER_06]: So we're looking 759, a gallon for diesel.
[SPEAKER_02]: And especially their independent truckers are a lot less than they used to be anyway, but now it's even harder to be an independent trucker because of all the costs of that and insurance and everything else.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is insane in the membrane.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: So while we're all out here struggling, you got the Republicans, their hands in Donald's pants playing with the ballroom.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, but I'm just saying sorry, but I'm just saying sorry, you know, they're down to his knees.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: Click.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, the back of the matter is the Republicans did propose one billion in taxpayer dollars and they did not specify.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: That the billion dollars couldn't go for other stuff and I had the laugh.
[SPEAKER_02]: Remember when you said it was one point four last night and Got out of the bar was scanning through some of the stuff when I was between flipping between basketball games and baseball games and I think it was on CNN some idiot Um, see an international.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what it was.
[SPEAKER_02]: and they said, oh, no, it was only a billion and then earlier today I was watching CNN and they said, oh, no, no, because when you add the billion plus the other 400,000 million jodies were a 400 million.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's it's it's it's it's one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's you're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Way too damn much for a freaking ballroom.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, LBJ had issues with his ballroom.
[SPEAKER_02]: He did.
[SPEAKER_02]: You could hear the audio.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tailors do not cost that much money.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not my.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know he coped to feel with Stephanie's mom.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, I'll be Jay did.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Did my mom did something in front of Lady Bird.
[SPEAKER_06]: So there was that.
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's an entirely different ballroom.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, and an entirely different era when nobody would be, you know, 1.4 billion, are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I mean, seriously, no.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, even for whatever they want to do a security wise for the bunker that's already there by the way.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk about that when we come back.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got more of the news on tap Bob SESCA coming back tonight, which we always love a little Bob's here.
[SPEAKER_02]: And of course, a great drink the day.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a crisp one, you'll love it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a good drink.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Once the night at the politics ball,
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is Wednesday night's home day evening and here at the politics bar you got you Jody Hamilton You got your me Sean Smith here's and we got you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you by the way to everybody who reaches Actuous on all of our great ways to be reached.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess you could say our bar line is open 213 677 7258 that's 213
[SPEAKER_02]: 677-7258 or 213-677-7.
[SPEAKER_02]: Salt, lucky in your Margarita, which maybe you had yesterday.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe you had the day yesterday, maybe you had a Margarita.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's all I'd love to you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you by the way, everybody.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also reaching out on all of our social media platforms, whether you are out to us on threads or blue sky, Instagram, Facebook, Substack, Twitter, or YouTube.
[SPEAKER_02]: We are on all those at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: So thank you very much for that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jodie.
[SPEAKER_02]: got another one over here from our our friends over here uh scandal talking about that california debate i think is watching on his phone last night while he was here says the fact that tom steyer is attacking democrats more than he is billionaires show you where his loyalty is at that's why there's billionaire fatigue
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I know Stephanie and Christopher argued on the Stephanie Miller show this morning about that and we'll talk about that a little bit later.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying that was that was what's can I was saying he has what he wants to talk he wants to talk about the California debate.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we obviously I'm voting for Bissara.
[SPEAKER_06]: I have yet to get to the rest of my about the ballot is so big.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's California on my god.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's so much to it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, I mean, you know, some have to look up some stuff because there's some people in some places are more well-apportioned than others.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying tonight we're talking about, you know, bill size and ballrooms, that's just saying.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, this is like this ballad is insane.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's California, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, get a fork lift.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know it.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like, I've already voted for some people.
[SPEAKER_06]: And for me, because there's a judge, judge ships going on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you still want to make sure that you're knowledgeable, well, whatever you're building.
[SPEAKER_06]: I do, but when I see somebody, it don't really know if it's a public defender running for a judge.
[SPEAKER_06]: I vote for that guy, because public defenders do God's work.
[SPEAKER_02]: And also, there aren't nearly as many public defenders as judges as there are prosecutors.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: to diversify the pool of a package.
[SPEAKER_02]: Say it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Once again, Joe, do you smart?
[SPEAKER_06]: What do you mean?
[SPEAKER_06]: Everybody else I'm like looking up, but those, I'm like, okay, public defender, done.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, that's, it's great.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's not great is the ballroom.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Americans don't think it is either.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you look, believe it is the latest, I think it's the Washington Post poll, the ABC News Washington Post Ipsos poll.
[SPEAKER_02]: 56% of Americans oppose it, 28% support it.
[SPEAKER_02]: 88% of Democrats oppose the ballroom and surprisingly 62% of Republicans supported.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_06]: It got to be magas.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, some of them like it just because it pisses off non-magas.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But even if Congress goes and and, you know, says, well, we can do this, it's still stuck in litigation and there are other things about it that have nothing to do with whether it's funded.
[SPEAKER_02]: one of the big things it has to do about it is first of all if you're going to put forward plans because the plans have to be officially taken care of not just by the the several of the groups that he's rammed people into, but it actually has to be checked out by like actual architects and things.
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't actually have legit plans yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody's seen any legit plans.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, because it keeps getting bigger and bigger and it's like a death
[SPEAKER_02]: So, look, I still say it is worthwhile for you to contact your member of Congress and tell them, no freaking ballroom.
[SPEAKER_02]: Get your hands out of my pants and stop playing with your ballroom.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to buzz anybody at that one, just saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just the people are mad.
[SPEAKER_02]: People are also mad about Donald Trump attacking the Pope again, so he lashed out again.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then this is right as Marco Rubio, it's supposed to be going to you.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know to make nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, right, which Trump wants to get in his last licks before they have to declare it nice, which is so penny any pissant and also very, very New York.
[SPEAKER_02]: No offense to those of you who are in the New York corner of the bar, I'm just saying,
[SPEAKER_02]: There are certain corners of New York with that is I got to get in my last lick.
[SPEAKER_06]: Give me break.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, could be Chicago as well.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, Pope Bob is from Chicago.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is true, but but Pope Bob.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he can handle it.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you want to look at the polls on that, it is insane.
[SPEAKER_02]: Americans of every stripe and kind do not like Trump's attacks on the Pope.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: Or the fake Piety of Kegbreath 87% have a negative view of Trump's
[SPEAKER_02]: A. I. Jesus post 87% across the board 95% of Democrats hated it 79% of Republicans and 88% of independence.
[SPEAKER_06]: I saw a woman that was interviewed by minus touch.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: Who when she was told that he did that, she goes, well, he is like that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, it was like her brain just cannot the cognitive dissonance and his cult members brains.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, that's just amazing.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's amazing.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like, I was, I literally, I remember thinking that the flat tax would be a good idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you learned about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I went about it.
[SPEAKER_06]: No.
[SPEAKER_06]: My friend told me he goes, No, that's a bad idea.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm like, oh, you're so right.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then my brain went.
[SPEAKER_06]: I was learned.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'm going through another phase of learning.
[SPEAKER_02]: When we know better, we do better.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Maya.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just like, What?
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's the thing, you can, if you're looking for examples of where you can actually see the cult, you could take a look at that, we'll, we'll jump down a little bit in the news on tap, jump down to the fourth round in election land.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the national media, by the way, they were all concentrating on the, oh, well, there were five of seven Republicans in the statewide
[SPEAKER_02]: who were basically they were running for their their primary and their statewide same for their state legislator and they pretty solidly rebuked trump in saying no you cannot we are not going to vote to redo the map here you can suck eggs right they did the right thing by the way five of those seven lost in their primary they lost to extreme maggots
[SPEAKER_02]: But here's the thing, but we've got a great piece from Perry Bacon today in the news on tap in the election land section where he notes the Indian primary results prove the Republican party is still a Trump cult and has the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: The rest of the country is getting to be less and less and less of a Trump cult.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you want to go off the far end of the branch.
[SPEAKER_02]: You want to go to the two foot into the pool to dive in head first, be my guest.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's where the Republican Party wants to go.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll be like, please proceed, Governor.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's very Obama of you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you very much.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know, he's good boss.
[SPEAKER_06]: Anyway, please.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, it was a good boss, wasn't he?
[SPEAKER_02]: He was.
[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, I was on how many of those phone calls, when he was on four or five.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I still remember what I actually met him.
[SPEAKER_02]: at an event in downtown Des Moines and he was coming out doing doing a little kind of a pre walk through before the walk through and shaking the hands of the volunteers and the other people who were there and shakes my hand and it was like you know nice to meet servants is nice to meet you and I had on a hat it was very similar to my brother's hat remember I was working for my brother yeah my brother had met him before number and he looks me and I said yeah I'm I'm Matthew Pierce's brother
[SPEAKER_02]: And he says, yeah, a little bit taller, because my brother is kind of short.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, yeah, you guys all have those hats?
[SPEAKER_02]: And like, well, and now technically we do all of our, all of my brothers, my two brothers.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm thinking more of my brother Matthew this week because he is at the end of the week, he's moving to Germany.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said he's fine, whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: It'll be better for him health care wise.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's what I'm talking about.
[SPEAKER_06]: It will be definitely.
[SPEAKER_02]: But anyway, no, so we're working for them.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, and the guy remembers like everything.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, when I met the president after the first time I met him, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, the second time I met him was at the oval.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I shook his hand and I said my friend, Ira.
[SPEAKER_06]: Dave says hello.
[SPEAKER_06]: And he looked at me and his brain was like, how does this little girl, which I'm not that little.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not much younger than he is, by the way.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm six years younger than he is or whatever.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: And how does she know him?
[SPEAKER_06]: And he goes, oh my god, tell him I'm like, I will.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was like,
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I said.
[SPEAKER_02]: He keeps a lot of stuff in memory.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there are a lot of good candidates.
[SPEAKER_06]: He loves, like, how do you know, Iris, that I've had a crush on him when I was six years old and I'm best friends with his little sister and he's like, oh my god.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's a smaller world in some ways, but it's kind of fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, the whole thing is the Magifokes who are very, very deep into it are still, they're gonna be in the cult.
[SPEAKER_02]: And,
[SPEAKER_02]: some there there are some folks you just can't reach and it's fine reach the ones you can reach and I think Ohio is going to be very interesting Michigan by the way something in virtually nobody in the national media is talking about I'm very glad about this I didn't well yes it was very good by the way Democrats kept control of Michigan state Senate after another special election when last night obviously we have that one in our election Michigan
[SPEAKER_02]: Democrats, a Chedric Green defeated Republican Jesse Toney in a state Senate district.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, here's the key, remember, over performance.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is what affects the PVI, the partisan voter index.
[SPEAKER_02]: Chedric beat his Republican challenger by more than 19 points.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is in district where Kamala Harris only won by less than a point.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's huge.
[SPEAKER_02]: It makes me pretty excited.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, look at that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I go, hell yeah, an 18 point over performance.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why we say the baseline PVI is no longer five.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's 15 and people go, oh yeah, but Democrats have won some of these specials by like 13.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, but Democrats have also won some of these, some of these specials by 18, 22 and nearly 30.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to go with the PV is 10, just to be on the safe side.
[SPEAKER_02]: We could do the PV, I mean, we could do a safer PV I have 10, but remember that the PV I limit is basically supposed to be anything under that limit is a toss up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's why they're going about more, more closer to 15, just because it sure would be a reach.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're in a PV I district of say plus 13 or plus 14 if the Democrat wins.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's still given everything that we've known and all the special elections.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, like I said, Chadrick Green, 18 point over performance there in Michigan.
[SPEAKER_06]: So, well, the guy that was elected mayor in Texas.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: In in in Perlin, which, you know, that was really awesome yesterday.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was I was really, really pleased when Dana Steele was here yesterday.
[SPEAKER_02]: She was great.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wasn't she?
[SPEAKER_02]: She was never back.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we will.
[SPEAKER_02]: And she confirmed.
[SPEAKER_02]: Perlin, a little bit scary sometimes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Or at least it has been in the past.
[SPEAKER_02]: But clearly they're moving forward, which thank God for that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Perlin.
[SPEAKER_02]: Much appreciate.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: By the way, some other great wins last night as well in Ohio,
[SPEAKER_02]: I like her.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's going up against Republican Javec Ramiswami, who I despise.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ramiswami.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Judi is correct.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you remember during the Republican primaries, how he treated Nikki Haley?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just awful.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he's, he is a super massager.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is an, he is a, he's a douchebag, and he's a massager.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he is, in fact, a massager in a douchebag.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just one of those people where, mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am not advocating any violence, so I'm not saying do anything, but you know, I have heard, I literally have heard other people, multiple times, describe him as someone with a very slappable face.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, don't do that, children.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't recommend slapping him, but I can understand how you look at him and you feel that way.
[SPEAKER_06]: It can slap him politically.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, Joe, he's correct.
[SPEAKER_06]: Not literally.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, by the way, something else good coming out of Ohio.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure, Brown is back.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, that was so nice to see.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, Sheridan Connie, I let little upset at him a few years back.
[SPEAKER_02]: I still haven't completely, you know, I love Connie as a great columnist.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Sheridan is a good, he is a good legislator.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is a good legislator.
[SPEAKER_02]: He really is.
[SPEAKER_02]: much like booker where i said you got a push where i told me got a push that that was my whole thing with with chair and his people said you got a he's he's got a he's got to be willing to to and yes that means being open to a little bit more progressive ideas being open to ideas that maybe you're not necessarily original
[SPEAKER_02]: Or pardon me, our more original, not necessarily ones that we've done before.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're great.
[SPEAKER_02]: How to get that right.
[SPEAKER_02]: But hey, it does seem to be a lot more open to some new, more progressive, more hey, let's try something different ideas.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is great.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I share it has always been a really good public servant.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm just, I'm really pleased that he won the Democratic nomination.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is true.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was, I mean, he was pretty solid to get that angry.
[SPEAKER_02]: But still, now we can worry about the, the, the actual general election there.
[SPEAKER_06]: Who's he running against?
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I'm trying to remember Republican douchebag who voted for the, he's, well, he hasn't voted.
[SPEAKER_02]: He said he's got to have support for the ballroom and he took a bunch of money from one of Jeffrey Epstein's funders like three days before he voted against the Epstein files bill.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, yeah, just to hire you know better.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just telling you the character of the person there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, hi.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, you know better Let's check her get on it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we got to have cliff in there.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes We got to ask Cliff back.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe next week.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe we got to get clip back in here talk to him because you know, he's no high guy Hi, okay, Cleveland does rock sometimes they do more than well.
[SPEAKER_06]: They have the rock and roll of fame
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been there.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a good place.
[SPEAKER_02]: I appreciate that.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's just there are certain things.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've had some friends over the years from Ohio and some of them are great and some of them I, I'm just like, what is up with Ohio?
[SPEAKER_02]: One of my friends just says, there's a lot of crack.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of crack everywhere, children.
[SPEAKER_02]: He grew up in Ohio, that's he just, that is his excuse.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry Josh, I just told everybody your joke, but that's he just says when somebody is like, dude, what is wrong with some of the people at Ohio?
[SPEAKER_02]: He just gives, there's a lot of crack.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's honey, that's he's from Ohio.
[SPEAKER_02]: He can say it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just relaying what he says that's his excuse for why there's some weirdness in Ohio.
[SPEAKER_02]: I do not know Ohio well enough to say positive or negative if that's the truth.
[SPEAKER_06]: I was asked to go on a snipe hunt in Wisconsin, so
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, there's weirdness everywhere.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is America.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're weird all the time.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I was like, I'm not doing that because I know that that's not a thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: I might be not from here, but I know better.
[SPEAKER_02]: We do have one thing that is here at the politics bar everywhere across the nation.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you like a good, uh, bright.
[SPEAKER_06]: I do.
[SPEAKER_06]: I like a good soft.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, good soft, good soft is good, you know, it's got a nice, uh, sharp taste, a little, um, happy, bright, light.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's light neary.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's sweet.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, light neary, light no, light no, light nob, juck, anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: But no, I do.
[SPEAKER_02]: I, you know, I live so I'm in your block.
[SPEAKER_02]: I do too.
[SPEAKER_06]: I like, like, you know, Grigio and I like Sauvignon.
[SPEAKER_02]: Blanc.
[SPEAKER_06]: I do not like as hard name as it's, you got to chew it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, my wife likes Peter Grigio too, so that's here's the thing is that the news has been very chaotic and very in some ways complex and in some ways just stupid.
[SPEAKER_02]: The amount of stupid in this timeline today is off the freaking charts.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we're understanding that.
[SPEAKER_02]: So sometimes you just want to go with something that is simple, positive, like you said yesterday, that you like Hansen.
[SPEAKER_06]: I loved hands.
[SPEAKER_06]: I love hands.
[SPEAKER_06]: Are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, Bob, yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, past that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm way past that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like three elbows and are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_02]: All though for me, I keep thinking about hands and in that Katy Perry video last Friday night, where she has like them, but she, it's funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're funny in that.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's funny.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're funny.
[SPEAKER_06]: They were funny on Saturday at live.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, they were great there too.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you know, it's because even when no, don't play it anymore.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes you just like something simple that's got a little positivity to it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that is today's drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jodie, what is it and what's the inspiration for it?
[SPEAKER_06]: It is called a crisp martini.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: And today is International Sauvignon Blanc Day.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: I did not know it was a thing until I found that out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Remember, I said, you'll find out all kinds of weird days on the calendar because that's pretty much one of the things that radio people do.
[SPEAKER_02]: Radio people go out to remotes, they talk to people from anywhere, and they find and create weird ass days of whatever because, you know, you're bored, you're sitting the studio, that's it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, it's been a part, the, the Sauvignon Blanc wine has been a part of humanity since 7,000 BC.
[SPEAKER_02]: That does not surprise me, China.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, people like, well, they have the history goes a little bit further.
[SPEAKER_02]: We like the booths, China.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've always like the booths.
[SPEAKER_06]: Somebody always wants to get drunk.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, what did Homer say about alcohol?
[SPEAKER_06]: It's the reason for and solution to all of your problems.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly, exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, and there are a lot of different varieties with wine grapes out there.
[SPEAKER_02]: You got your cab, your malbec.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've done a malbec drink the day before, the Merlot, the Shard and A.
[SPEAKER_02]: But here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Something on the block is some people just think of it as very simple.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: What it's also pretty, I mean, it's vibrant.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's definitely the type of grape that you need for it.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a whole thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, um, look, it is zesty.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's citrusy.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's grassy.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of little a bit of herbaceousness.
[SPEAKER_06]: Slightly sweeter than a pino to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: But yes, but in not in a not in a sickly sweet way.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's it's it's it's like adding salt to a number to a lot of food, which I know some people can do these days blood pressure and all, but something of luck is a very food friendly wine.
[SPEAKER_02]: It pairs well with pretty much everything.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, just your chicken.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can also have it with
[SPEAKER_02]: Stakes beef.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can have it with beans.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can have it with, I mean, you know, what is obviously, you know, right, but it thinks things that you don't always have.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're like, you don't always do a wine with some of the heavier stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Things like, no, it doesn't have to go with that, too.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, it's a good as far as wine goes.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's fantastic.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad we got all these these facts in there.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not only from New Zealand, it comes in a lot of places, and it actually mixes well.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's what we're doing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, because you don't always make, you don't always put wine in a cocktail.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, and, you know, martini is usually, you don't have wine in a martini, but, in this case, that's what we're doing today for international seven young long day.
[SPEAKER_06]: We do.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because it's so simple.
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
[SPEAKER_02]: We exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I really think it's a really nice, bright, bright one.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did, too, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Which, it's spring.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, except for those of you listening to the Southern Hemisphere, and then it's part of it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, it's snowing in Denver today.

[SPEAKER_02]: My brother's like, really?
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you here to put them on and take them off?
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, no, but they're gonna go off fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm literally, this is like, you know, between the siblings, my sister's just like, whatever, I gotta go back to teaching kids.
[SPEAKER_06]: Ah, no, I'm sorry, but if you have snow stuff, when you live in Denver, it's just put away, and just bring it back out.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm aware of that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, Mark, this journey's telling you that you should have actually let your girls out to play today with you.
[SPEAKER_06]: They can just bring it back.
[SPEAKER_02]: You agree, you agree with my brother, Matthew today.
[SPEAKER_06]: I can just say snow wings.
[SPEAKER_02]: Matthew, you're jodied degrees with you just saying.
[SPEAKER_06]: They could do angel wings in the snow with his kids.
[SPEAKER_06]: there you go could absolutely minuses love to do that anyway what is in a crisp martini cocktail you had okay first you need a pre-chilled martini glass um a shaker ice obviously uh one and a half ounces of gin so it's it's a cocktail kids this is not it's got to
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not a thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hendrix is recommended, but whatever.
[SPEAKER_06]: An ounce of Saint Germain, elder flower like you're, which is a flowery.
[SPEAKER_02]: It'll add a little bit of a earthy twist.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, go with that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Half ounce of fresh lemon juice.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's half a lemon.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's a good bit.

[SPEAKER_02]: The gin, the suncher, man, and lemon juice in the shaker.
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_02]: You strain it into your glass, and then you top it with the sovine on block, and then you go to the twist, the sparkle, not like sparkling, but like the taste, the pop, to the the exactly the positivity to it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then you just top it off with the sov.
[SPEAKER_02]: and it's a nice little wine kind of martini look it's it's great to have complex things that we know how to do it's it's great to have complex ideas and information that we can you simply talk to our friends about here at the bar or you know leave the bar and tell our friends about elsewhere but it's also sometimes just nice to have something simple and positive you know like you said

[SPEAKER_02]: And look, it's like it's like watching Broadway.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's any time somebody does Broadway really, actually, it's fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like watching even from not a big fan of the show.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you look at that and you go, man, they're kicking ass.
[SPEAKER_02]: Doing that role.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're like, that's fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, movie, TV, whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like watching people do what they do and do it well.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, by the way, the boys is going to do their season.
[SPEAKER_06]: And are we theaters today?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, we had that in the news on tap yesterday and they're gonna do it in theaters that have like the smell of I'm not gonna do that because I just want to just watch it at home because that will You don't want the shaky seats in the smell of the smell and the stuff being thrown because to mark my words that season Anders sees it sees it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, there's gonna be a lot of explosions lot of explosions and blood
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, maybe watching a home is a better idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, once again, Jodie, this one.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, so don't, just go.

[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, if you uh, you know you got a little lady had something There was maybe you were playing ball earlier.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's find.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you for coming in and joining us here You are listening on AM-950 Minneapolis Saint Paul.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're on the detour talk in Tennessee Maybe you are listening on George now radio in the ATL or maybe you are listening in Chicago on AM-820 WCPT or unprogressive voices radio worldwide wherever you happen to be
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's be in a favorite podcast player or of course we highly recommend subscribing at the politics bar dot com six dollars a month We are gonna do a special there is a discount and even if you're subscribed you'll be able to apply the discount and there you go see So I got to figure out all the math and it's his like whole thing that he's got to do because I don't have control over that if I did I would also be in the account that I've got the whole thing on and it's weird in any way And I got to figure out how to get the the website to do the thing with this stuff
[SPEAKER_02]: they will do the thing with the stuff if you if they let you right and look at six bucks a month i mean you can you can subscribe anyway it's less than a gallon gas at my house less than a gallon gas and a lot of places around the country unfortunately yeah uh they the uh the war not war uh even if this thing gets settled today tonight whatever and they get this one page memo of understanding um
[SPEAKER_02]: There are now, what did I hear about, 15 hundred ships on either side of the street or moves?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because remember, it's, so think about it this way.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like an eight lane highway on either side of a little small thing that's a two lane highway, one lane in each direction.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you got to get everybody through there at least once.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's going to take a while I don't understand the point of coming up because they got nothing else to do they have been Come forward.
[SPEAKER_02]: So well, no, but they they've been con and and look If they say well, I'm gonna wait.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's say they're coming out of South America Let's say they're coming out of a porch in South America.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna Peru.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay It takes a while to get you asked across the ocean any does absolutely
[SPEAKER_02]: But if poof magically this memo understanding happens and they say fine there's no no fees and nobody shoot in anybody and the straight on loses open and here's the map and here's the list will get everybody in line and and they start going
[SPEAKER_02]: As soon as that happens, other ships that are around the world that did decide to wait, they're going to halt it, high tail their ass there as well, so there's going to be even more ships coming up.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the people who say, look, sometimes soon, we pretty sure this is going to be open at some point in time.
[SPEAKER_02]: Especially because Donnie's got a meeting with his friend Xi and China and she is, well, we had a story in yesterday's news on tap about the fact that Donald's getting pissed because China is applying a little pressure because China is saying, you know what, we've had enough of your crap.
[SPEAKER_06]: And they're better at renewables than we are, so they still rely on it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But at the same time, they're just tired of this causing problems.
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is, this is
[SPEAKER_02]: The reason why there are so many ships parked there is that everybody wants to be as close to the head line as they can.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the hardest thing to do.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I get, I get your position.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's smart to say, look, it would be smart in some ways for them too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wait, because why the hell would you want to have to get there and in way anchored?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like sitting on a parking lot.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I get that.
[SPEAKER_06]: And they don't get supplies.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, our troops are seeming.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, you could say.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, I heard that today.
[SPEAKER_02]: I heard Malcolm was was talking all about how the areas look.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a whole stream of seam and knit it.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what Malcolm said.
[SPEAKER_06]: And they're not getting supplies and that's bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not getting as many supplies as they want.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's a problem with Kegbreath and the idiots that he's got with him at the Pentagon.
[SPEAKER_06]: Their helicopters that can bring stuff to them, correct?
[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, there are what's known as replenishment ships.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I have, I have been at the wheel behind a big ship during replenishment.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a bit scary because you have to take a gigantic ship and you have to keep it going at a set speed on a set course and you have to keep yourself a set distance from the ship that is next to you.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're moving.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, they're moving, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh huh.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, you're moving.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like you're feeling a plane in air.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you have very little leeway.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have been at the real at the helm for first time.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a little terrifying.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's it's a little terrified because you're basically you are at the steering wheel of something that is as large as a small building.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you mess up, man, you can hurt a lot of people.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I mean, these are anchored.
[SPEAKER_06]: So is it an easier?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and no, for a lot of the replenishment, they will get going anyway, because it's actually easier when you're doing replenishment to actually be going through the ocean as opposed to staying in one place because he's staying one place you are buffeted by whatever the waves and the winds do.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're going, it's actually it's kind of the gyroscopic effect.
[SPEAKER_06]: I get that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I do.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, but if you're a sailor, if you're gone, it's like the ocean, you've done it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You get what you're doing.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I think helicopters will be easier just land when they're.
[SPEAKER_02]: Same thing, same, same problem, especially if they're one place, because it's Bob and I'll over the place.
[SPEAKER_02]: So then you got to do it while it's in motion, because then yeah, there's a whole, it's a whole fish.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know it's wind and everything.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mmm, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's it is not optimal to have the stray or her moves closed.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not optimal for anybody on earth for any nations because the fertilizer Right there's stuff inside that we want out there stuff outside that we want in and Whether you're us or whether you're Iran Whether you're you know, we don't like Russia and they've got issues with that too.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean pretty much every major nation on earth is like Donald Come on
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't be be be be be it was bebe well and but even bebe's got problems remember because uh basically the political opposition is starting to gang up on him and they got an election coming so he's going to be out of there anyway gone thank you so um I thank you for not doing the s-bong
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh no, no, I just, you know, made a sound effect.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, it's fun to make sound effects with your voice, but, um, yeah, they're gonna, it's, it's the equivalent of, okay, so when, when somebody takes that, that cany cany kind of thing goes, um, pulls you off stage.
[SPEAKER_02]: So anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh no.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not like Alabama.
[SPEAKER_04]: Alabama.
[SPEAKER_02]: Alabama.
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: You did a better idea.
[UNKNOWN]: What?
[UNKNOWN]: Anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, hi Jeff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hi Jeff.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look back to the news on tap today here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Republican government sucks.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we all know this one.
[SPEAKER_02]: The list of things that they're doing that are sucking, though, is immense.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the Trump administration started it off yesterday by they're suing Denver over Denver's 1989 assault weapons ban, which by the way, assault weapons ban's work.
[SPEAKER_02]: We have fact check on that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, they do check that out.
[UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: But then Trump's equal employment opportunity commission because we all know Trump's equal employment opportunity commission doesn't actually care about that.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're soon in the New York Times for alleged bias against a heterosexual lightman.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my God.
[SPEAKER_06]: The white man.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I look totally incompetent government.
[SPEAKER_02]: You caught this when the Trump State Department is still letting go of career employees in a new reduction in force, even though they're not supposed to.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're still.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also in related bad administrative executive administrative news Florida has created an anti-woke AP history alternative Basically filled with comfortable lies like No, no, we weren't for slavery and we've always been Christian I think he even said slaves were lazy
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's Florida.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you've got to, you've got to denigrate the, if you're, if you're a right-winger in Florida, you've got to denigrate the black people.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's fantastic.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's just like, seriously, people.
[SPEAKER_06]: AP courses, or, just, make you smarter.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, but here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, Florida High School student takes an AP history course.
[SPEAKER_02]: After this new alternative course to, Florida High School student applies to college somewhere else.
[SPEAKER_02]: Harvard.
[SPEAKER_02]: Stanford, the University of Nebraska, whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: They apply somewhere.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anybody who looks at that is going to go, oh, Florida high schools.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they took an AP history course in Florida.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Next.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it only is going to hurt high school students from Florida.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not going to help them.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because then whoever sees that transcript will automatically assume, oh, you're one of those people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we want people to actually know their history.
[SPEAKER_02]: Shoes, thanks, but no thanks.
[SPEAKER_06]: But they are trying to get rid of history.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: not just for that the right but but again they're only going to hurt their own people they're not going to help anybody well we want to believe that it was this way well that's great facts don't care what you like just like science which is also facts I remember Tom Hartman saying when his child children when they lived in Atlanta came home they were like
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: No honey.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not what it was because that was what they were taught like the 80s.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what that's what they were being taught in elementary school.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not the more Northern aggression.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: the south started and the south is continuing this is this is the problem that we've got with this whole thing with the Supreme Court and the trying to strike down the voting rights act we put stuff in there today about that because it's there there's no real new developments on that but the fact is that good people are working and we're going to have to work to make sure that we get the right people elected that we could good people elected
[SPEAKER_02]: And that Democrats are going to have to go, most of the walls.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is one of the reasons ages ago that I always wanted Barack Obama to go harder.
[SPEAKER_02]: That I want to Joe Biden to go harder.
[SPEAKER_02]: That I wanted Cory Booker to go harder.
[SPEAKER_02]: That I wanted a shared round to go harder.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's because I knew I knew from my own experience.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even though I am a, you know, average white boy,
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah, you look like a maga.
[SPEAKER_06]: If nobody knew it, you totally look like that guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I suppose I could probably double it from your secret agent.
[SPEAKER_02]: But except the fact that I have empathy and humanity.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, that's so nice of you.
[SPEAKER_02]: It shows my, thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: I appreciate that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it shows my face, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not very good at hiding that.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's a good idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not very good at hiding my disgust with other people's reasons.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm with you on that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But the thing is, I knew that those people are not going to stop until they destroy things, until they destroy everything.
[SPEAKER_02]: I absolutely knew that that was going to be the case.
[SPEAKER_02]: And while God love Obama and Biden and all that for, you know, Obama couldn't do it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Because it's...
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I know the whole angry blackout.
[SPEAKER_10]: Hey!
[SPEAKER_02]: Not an angry blackout.
[SPEAKER_02]: It didn't look like you did it at all.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_02]: He just bob pops it in behind.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, I didn't see there.
[SPEAKER_02]: How you doing now?
[SPEAKER_09]: How you doing?
[SPEAKER_09]: I always have to triple check what show I'm on because it's like that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm not.
[SPEAKER_09]: Is this?
[SPEAKER_09]: I got it.
[SPEAKER_09]: You walk the door and you're like, wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_09]: Where am I?
[SPEAKER_05]: And I still like that your name is.
[SPEAKER_05]: What it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not going out on the radio every time every time he walks in above the door, it says Richard Pintch.
[SPEAKER_06]: And Lonnie said one day when I was with Lonnie, he was like, is that Bob?
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm like, yes, it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Although, honestly, I do think that at some point, when we all go on like some sexy liberal tour or something, that is definitely the name you should use at the hotel.
[SPEAKER_02]: The secret name you should use to sign it to know where the others are there.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know?
[SPEAKER_09]: The only problem with that is I'm not nearly famous enough to be able to use a fake name at a hotel.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I know that Roger Daltre used to use Roger Taylor, which is a drummer for
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you just blew his cover, Jodie.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, honey, he just doesn't even use that anymore.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, sorry, I'm sorry about that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think Raj is listening to this.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hi, Raj, if you are.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you are.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have a watch.
[SPEAKER_02]: Bob is here.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're talking about Dick and Bob and Raj, and look, the Bob that's here.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we're talking about pictures.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a whole thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: that there's a whole other thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll have to talk about that and about the whole thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Donald has a big thing with Pope Bob again.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's starting another fight.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk about that too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fresh New Drink.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a Wednesday night.
[SPEAKER_02]: Bob SESCA is here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, folks.
[SPEAKER_02]: The one, the only.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's here.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to talk with him about all the news on tap and more fresh New Drink and come right back.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a Wednesday night.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is Wednesday night here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you guys know what that means.
[SPEAKER_02]: The idea of a Pope Bob.
[UNKNOWN]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like whoa.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_02]: The one, the only Bob SESCA is here.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love doing the full rollout.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to do the full well everybody loves you Bob and literally no, we actually have pulling this as everybody loves Pope Bob I'm I'm not kidding.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh wonderful.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, well, but I don't think they're talking about me because I'm not Pope Bob Okay, to us, maybe I'm better fine fine details details actual post is very popular Well deserved yes He is like he is very popular and I still can't understand this is the thing that drives me nuts
[SPEAKER_02]: Why would you attack him when you are down in the polls as Donnie is that he's so stupid Yeah, that is just so it's like what what possible benefit is there?
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_09]: Donald, I didn't think things through.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's amazing that he's not, he has no foresight.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't understand.
[SPEAKER_09]: Donald Trump is a thoughtful person.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I don't know about people who he shouldn't pick fights.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even for people who are dumb, there are certain things.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and especially if you're somebody in politics.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just look at the numbers.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is from the Washington Post ABC, Epsospole.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's see.
[SPEAKER_02]: 87%
[SPEAKER_02]: of Americans have a negative view of Trump's AI, Jesus post, that includes 95% of Dems hated it, 79% of Republicans hated it and 88% of independence hated it, 90% of both Protestants and Catholics, Fanted Offensive and 87% of non-religious folks hated it.
[SPEAKER_02]: 69% are also offended by Kegbreath's prayer services at the Pentagon.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm, I'm like everybody freaking loves Pope Bob and everybody's like you can have whatever religion you want But you know keep it in your pants.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't need to see it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't understand, this is, I get that, that Donald is all, I'm gonna do what I want.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's also like, you really have to be somebody who is ignoring the facts that are in front of your face to be like, you know what, I'm gonna ignore all that, and I'm still gonna go attack the Pope anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna attack the Pope right before I send my little hat rack.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, do you guys see that by the way yesterday?
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Rubio is now filling in for Caroline who was trying to do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Rubio is now let's see.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is the secretary of state.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is the security adviser, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: He is the press secretary or at least for delivering certain things.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know he's got at least like two other jobs too.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, first of all, why?
[SPEAKER_02]: And second of all, let's just call him hat rack because that's really what he is right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: That one's just goes, here's another hat, here's another hat, Marko, here's another, are you thirsty for another hat, Marko?
[SPEAKER_02]: What, I'm just saying, Marko's thirsty, that's all.
[SPEAKER_09]: Please, yeah, no wonder the Iran situation is apt because the Secretary of State is busy talking about his DJ name and the...
[SPEAKER_06]: I know!
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my God!
[SPEAKER_02]: Talk to him about his DJ name, really?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he was today.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's like, you didn't get my DJ name
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god, that's so pedantic and stupid and young.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, the one of the reasons that the Iranians have said that they weren't exactly thrilled that they didn't want to make necessarily a deal with Donald is that he kept sending Jared and his real estate friend.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and they're like, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're serious, send your secretary of state.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, send your vice president.
[SPEAKER_02]: Send somebody who actually has some cloud.
[SPEAKER_02]: Instead of sending Jared, I mean, this is not a jewelry commercial, they do not want to get it at Jared.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying they're like, so, but then at the same time, I understand Donald's like, look, I got to have Markle around because he's doing everything.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just dumb.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: The level of stupid.
[SPEAKER_02]: We are in the dumbest timeline.
[SPEAKER_09]: So where do you, where to both of you land when it comes to whether Donald's going to start bombing Iran again?
[SPEAKER_09]: Is he going to do it or is he just going to chicken out?
[SPEAKER_09]: What's the story?
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not sure at this point because he wants to make himself big.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, I don't think he's going to.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you sure?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, what the knowledgeable folks are saying,
[SPEAKER_02]: about this is the same thing that I've been saying for a while because I've been hearing about this from other somewhat knowledgeable folks that whatever whatever they end up signing is going to be very similar to the JCPOA anyway if they sign it maybe have a longer time horizon maybe have you know we that the of the Iranians are already flat out said we'd like more of our money that's in in western escrow back we want more they're going to make so much more money charging people through the straight so right although we make the
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure, but when the JCPOA was started, they got like a three-page memo, and then it took 21 months and they got the JCPOA.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's going to be something similar.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't think that I think there are other forces behind the scenes that we don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: My bet is still from what I've been hearing is that she and China are just kind of fed up with this crap and Donald has a meeting with them next week.
[SPEAKER_06]: And Putin is upset.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, we could be in this situation.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: We could be in a situation where Donald decides not to take retaliatory action anymore against Iran, where he just decides to wash his hands, wash his stumpy hands of all of it, and go home, and Iran continues to attack U.S. bases, it continues to attack our allies, continues to keep the straight of our moves close, and, and, and.
[SPEAKER_09]: with Donald not wanting to continue to bomb Iran.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's an amazing and really screwy conundrum we find ourselves in as a nation.
[SPEAKER_09]: And a big shock that Donald Trump would be responsible for such an upside down prosecution.
[SPEAKER_09]: What do you always say about Donald Bob?
[SPEAKER_09]: What do you always say?
[SPEAKER_09]: Trump always makes things worse for Trump.
[SPEAKER_09]: And perpetuity, yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: And he'll blame Biden.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God.
[SPEAKER_02]: OK, so this was funny as hell.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Pete Buttigieg went on MS now last night.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he was talking with Jen Socky.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm in, I think, behind you or their journey.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here, I rolled it back.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got it off the DVR here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let me play this because this is what he said about this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Still blaming Biden crap.
[SPEAKER_03]: When you are this deep into your second year, if your reflex is to still be trying to blame the previous administration, it really shows that you are out of ideas, out of solutions, and unwilling to take ownership of your own choices like this around war.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's stated very plainly stated This is just how it is.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is not this is not rock inside.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, this is not
[SPEAKER_09]: It's something we talked about on the show yesterday.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, we did.
[SPEAKER_09]: Which bears repeating.
[SPEAKER_09]: And this is, it's such an utter disaster where I think, well, first of all, I'm kind of all over the place with this because there's so many different moving pieces.
[SPEAKER_09]: Iran knows that Donald is bored, yes, with the war.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's so bored.
[SPEAKER_09]: And so Iran is going to continuously, a bomb and attack and keep the straight closed.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that's, I think we can count on that occurring.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think that is how this is going to move forward.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then the question is whether
[SPEAKER_09]: connects to the first 60 days of this.
[SPEAKER_02]: A random thing, a random thing clear Bob that they would like this to be done to, but they wanted to be done in such a way that Donald is not going to do this again, no matter how hard BB bags, no matter how hard somebody else tells them, they're like, when we say it's done, so that's part of the reason that they're still occasionally, like, you know, the other day, shootin' off a few over at the UAE,
[SPEAKER_02]: It's more of a show.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just to keep poking the stick until Donald gives in and says, Look, I'm done.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm really done.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm not coming back because this is not fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: They need him to be so done with it that he never comes back again.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I get that and Donald will not on a piece of paper right on leaving and never coming back.
[SPEAKER_02]: He'll say it because he can limp off like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he's not going to actually commit in any type of a formal agreement to it because then it wouldn't allow him to say, oh, yeah, well, if you get our line, I'm going to choose some more bones.
[SPEAKER_02]: So they just want something that they can actually trust in considering that it's Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_02]: I understand them not being willing to trust him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing else to do, but I think they're just they're they're not intent they really don't want to continue the war.
[SPEAKER_02]: They just want to push this to the point.
[SPEAKER_02]: And now I mean literally you've got Putin and she they're on the other side.
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't like them and they're going to get done with this.
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got all of your up and most of the rest of the world going dude we're done with this.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I still well, but what if I want to and they're like for F's
[SPEAKER_09]: I think one thing we can know for sure is that Iran has a psychological profile of Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_09]: That is, if it hasn't acquired that on its own, as far as just observing.
[SPEAKER_09]: I guarantee you that the Cremlin has provided it to them.
[SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: Cremlin knows every single in and out as far as manipulating Donald Trump, and I think that information is now in the hands of
[SPEAKER_02]: the of of Kamine's son who's the hardliner who's in charge when you've got an employee that is that important you want to make sure you know everything about that employee so I can guarantee that Putin has that information yeah on Donald Trump just
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, I think one of the details of that psychological profile has to be that I think Donald Trump thought that the now deceased Supreme Leader was the same Supreme Leader from the 1980s.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: I had told a committee.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was a different guy.
[SPEAKER_09]: But I'm only different guy.
[SPEAKER_09]: Clearly certain that Donald Trump thinks it's the same guy.
[SPEAKER_06]: I agree with you.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also the Donald Trump has daddy issues.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also the Donald Trump has ego issues.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a size queen.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, we know his, you know, co-honies are hanging down to his knees.
[SPEAKER_02]: Showtile means.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, this is this is so this is something that Jody said yesterday last night here at the bar.
[SPEAKER_02]: She was saying this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Darrell is over here.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, he is just this big in this.
[SPEAKER_06]: Cahones are way down with me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Darrell, honestly, Bob, he came in one of the first things he said tonight is he was like, Jody, look, I never want to hear about Donald's orange nicknax again.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then Jody has proceeded to talk about it, so I'm going to point you down all the time.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's poking at you there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll just perform.
[SPEAKER_02]: Boo, it's 80.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're down there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just say, just see you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just see you.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're a little teeny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny
[SPEAKER_09]: That's really a bizarre mental image.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, look, the one that I can tell them people about is that Donald was standing around with a hands-on as pants playing with a ballroom.
[SPEAKER_05]: Stay.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then we'll know they're way down on his knees.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sean?
[SPEAKER_08]: So gross.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you tell him to knock?
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you tell him to bow?
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you throw over your head?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no.
[SPEAKER_04]: He could.
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go a little bit teeny tiny bow.
[SPEAKER_04]: Do they hang well and they could put him up on his head You know the missier flux I have awful.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, you're just even allowed on the radio
[SPEAKER_09]: It's Brendan Carr going to be talking about a shoe place.
[SPEAKER_02]: We are talking about a shoe-laces.
[SPEAKER_02]: Got little dangle berries and ties them around the little things.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that way you can pull up his zipper.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what you guys were talking about.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the whole thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I am the worst.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you're just you have a lot of fun, you have a lot of fun, which is good.
[SPEAKER_02]: We all have a lot of fun here, which of course.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, did as you saw the California debate last night, the primary debate for Governor.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was on CNN.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know there's another one tonight.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think it's on the rest.
[SPEAKER_09]: I did not watch.
[SPEAKER_09]: I of course don't no longer live in California, so I don't have any.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know we got friends out there like Jody and Steph and some of our friends, Allison Gill and you know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, of course.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I, um, I got some clips of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not the Sarah person.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: I get that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Besides, he got, he got, he got winged.
[SPEAKER_02]: He got ding from pretty much every direction last night.
[SPEAKER_06]: And he should have been dinged from Democrats.
[SPEAKER_06]: Stop it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's a Democratic primary, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's a, Jungl.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I know it's a Jungl.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he also did, he did the mistake.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Charles Gabba.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know Charles Bobbie.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's the artist.
[SPEAKER_02]: pop.
[SPEAKER_02]: They call it a cop or soda right exactly but but in in Atlanta our folks are listening on Georgia now they know if this is a doctor paper they'll still call a cook.
[SPEAKER_02]: If I need a nose tissue it's a clean-ups.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even though it may be something else it's it's a copy something is a zerox.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, Medicare for all is a brand name.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is not a specific set of policies.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I realize that some of the people who are further on the left are like, no, unless it's my specific version of it, it's not really Medicare for all.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what they were trying to do to Bacera.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, look, I want everybody to have a affordable health care, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: Cheese, freaking Louise.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good God.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that was, that was the big.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, just give him a break.
[SPEAKER_02]: Shut up about that.
[SPEAKER_02]: He won't tell care for all.
[SPEAKER_05]: He does.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's advocating for that for years.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's, it was just a ridiculous thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, we'll talk more about in the break.
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, we got you for one more round here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it when Bob says guys are in the bar.

[SPEAKER_02]: It was kind of a cucumber region.
[SPEAKER_02]: But you guys know you were here as far as I'm so.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, we love obviously talking about politics, but there are times when it's just like, okay, this is the dumbest timeline is there anything else in the universe?
[SPEAKER_02]: And of course that leads us to thinking about things like Star Trek, which of course leads us to Trek politics?

[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody, when you do this stuff, like the thing I'm thinking of is Dolly Parton.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Dolly is, she's not going to do, we had this in yesterday's news on tap that she is not going to be doing her Las Vegas residency.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because she's taking, and I love her too, Jodie, I do.
[SPEAKER_02]: My wife is, my wife is, is vehement.
[SPEAKER_02]: What was it?
[SPEAKER_02]: So was Sunday night, I think I saw the story, and I like, did you hear the thing about Dolly Parton?
[SPEAKER_02]: My wife is like,
[SPEAKER_02]: It better not be bad or I'll have to kill someone.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, no, no, it's good.
[SPEAKER_02]: There it's, it's probably fine, but she's my wife.
[SPEAKER_06]: She just said she was going to be dizzy on our heels.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because of the medication she's taking for whatever her is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So then she's like, I can't exactly walk around and do a show when I can't really stand up for some of the periods of time.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Because I know Miss Dolly and she is like, amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Although I have to say, I am really, I'm geeked up.
[SPEAKER_02]: This young woman that I know her stage name is Bells, Kelly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kelly Bells, she did this song called Sun of Jolene.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I just been hitting the, look, I've, I've known her.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't like it, doesn't she?
[SPEAKER_02]: dolly's on it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Dolly's part of it.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's my girl.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, Kelly is is she is such a kickass young woman and her mom and her mom sisters.
[SPEAKER_02]: They used to do this, they were in this band called Mulberry Lane.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you like pop music like Jodie does, they were back in the 90s.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were, they did, they did pretty well and a few good songs.
[SPEAKER_02]: And um, um,
[SPEAKER_02]: And Kelly of course was always I knew him back in the day and just run around this little little girl and now She's she's gone to Nashville Nash Vegas and she's doing her own thing and she wrote this song And she was just like she took a shot and she was like you know what I want to see if Dolly Parton will will sing on this will be part of she did
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm I'm pretty it's it's great to see people that you know like you know like Kelly bells just to get out there and and you know doing Sonno Joe lead which it's like top 10 and a lot of the charts at there at iTunes and all the streaming stuff and it's and it's a pretty damn good song and the fact that there are some of the DJs out there who are referring to it and going oh it's dollies new song it's like well it's actually Kelly song but okay we'll go with you know it's bells and dolly part so it's fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's nice when you get to see people that you know succeed and you're like, yeah, kick ass.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's one of the things that occasionally we get to do here at the bar.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's one of the things we get to do on our shows is that we get to talk about our friends who are so Bob does all the new music stuff all the time.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Andy recording artists.
[SPEAKER_09]: You've been an artist.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think are you still doing your like once a month, I think you kind of put them all
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, no, that's it's been years since I did one of those.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I remember saying remember when you used to do that and then I keep thinking I'm like, I've missed that.
[SPEAKER_06]: But he doesn't ever go back and listen, I want to do it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Tuesday and Thursday, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Still on the show.
[SPEAKER_09]: Still, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Still play the independent recording artists on podcasts, out of commercials.
[SPEAKER_02]: You go to popsesca.com and then you can actually click on the links and go with those independent songs yourself.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's exactly right.
[SPEAKER_09]: So yeah, but I don't do the, sort of, the Casey Kasim style countdown show anymore.
[SPEAKER_09]: That was just essentially playing them, playing the songs in the same order that I played them on the podcast.
[SPEAKER_09]: There was no real countdown, like I wasn't evaluating the music and putting them on all the main order of how good they were.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you were a young one that, oh, I'm glad I have to do this after that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was just another thing on the list of things that I got to do.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're given me this after another one of those.
[SPEAKER_06]: You want me to do a hi.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm happy and now I have a dead dog scory and you want me to play it to a little dog name snuggles See this is this God Russ Casey One of the fun things yesterday having Dana steel here having a great man who's she's she's a great voice You got a we'll see we get her your stuff off because okay
[SPEAKER_02]: actually it's nice it's nice to have something that's different something that isn't necessarily the ridiculousness that's going on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: When you look at the government stuff that we have, I mean, we have a whole section day that whole third round called Republican government sucks.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got all the crappy stuff in the executive branch.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then you got the crappy stuff at the Trump department of injustice.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I couldn't believe he did this today.
[SPEAKER_02]: Since you're out here in the DMV Bob, you know, can you believe a Trump FBI rated the office of Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas today?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, do you want an ass woman?
[SPEAKER_02]: She will beat you ass.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh yeah, yeah, and punishing a political enemy who was responsible for the Virginia Jerry matter or was the spearhead of the Republican or the Democratic Jerry matter in Virginia.
[SPEAKER_09]: But that's why that's why she's being investigated.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, but also Luis Lucas will she will slap you.
[SPEAKER_10]: She will slap you so hard.
[SPEAKER_10]: Your mama will feel it.
[SPEAKER_09]: I look forward to seeing that.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a slap.
[SPEAKER_09]: Todd Blanch.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's okay with me.
[SPEAKER_09]: God.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I'd be fine with that.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's good.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, he's not saying that she should.
[SPEAKER_09]: I'm just saying that if she does, I'll be there watching.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm saying, Jordan, there are non, there are non physically violent ways to get slapped around and Louise Lucas is going to be doing that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Todd, she won't beat his ass.
[SPEAKER_02]: But then again, we have the immigration failure section.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the Trump administration has abandoned the fast track training for new ice recruits.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to restore the previous training with certifications because they found out not really training them doesn't work and causes you more legal problem.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just insane.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mike, and yet this is all just part of this list, the new AP and R.C.
[SPEAKER_02]: Poll.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[SPEAKER_09]: What a shame.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a shame.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's just the whole thing from an overall, this is setting aside the nitty-gritty of the issue, is that the thing that sets the United States apart is not just democracy, it's not just things like the legal protections for satire and free speech and things like it.
[SPEAKER_09]: it's about our multiculturalism.
[SPEAKER_09]: That is so unique to the United States.
[SPEAKER_09]: Every other country in the world is built around an ethnic group, and the United States is not that way, or it is generally, I'm speaking generally, and historically, and
[SPEAKER_09]: That is unique in the history of human civilization that we've built a society around pluralism and we should be proud of that.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, how many times have we seen, for example, a Japanese prime minister who's not
[SPEAKER_09]: ethnically Japanese or a Chinese premiere who's not Chinese, but you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_09]: Or German chancellor who's not German, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I mean, that's, that's the thing is that we go around the world and we, yes, I will admit this.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are, there are other nations that are like, God, all you people do is you go around and you cherry pick the best to stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, yeah, will, yeah, wouldn't you?
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're making a team, like if you're making your own version, you're Bob's Avengers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Bob's Avengers.
[SPEAKER_02]: You pick the best of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a great opportunity.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm there.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, but that's just it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Is that you picked?
[SPEAKER_10]: Can I be there?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, obviously.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, uh, you're first on board, Jodie, of course.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then then Sean, but I mean, Jodie first.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but you don't you don't sit there and you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no chicks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody over five foot eight.
[SPEAKER_02]: No black people.
[SPEAKER_02]: No handicap people.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, are you stupid?
[SPEAKER_02]: Have you ever made a team?
[SPEAKER_10]: Have you?
[SPEAKER_10]: Do you know anything about working together with anybody?
[SPEAKER_10]: Have you ever been to the two America to the United States?
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you how dumb do you have to be to be like, you have the possibility of literally picking the best of everything for the rest of the world and putting it in one place?
