And I was like it sounds awesome , except the fact that , like I don't know when we'd like schedule this and when he's free is probably like a different time , because we don't really have a real schedule . We're just kind of like you want to record tonight , yeah . He's got like a business and like a fucking life and shit and like he's busy too .

I'll , I'll , I'll send a message and ask him when he wants to come on , all right , and then so our shit holds . The week award will obviously go to Lauren Barber for getting kicked out of a fucking play . I don't know how that happens , do ?

Speaker 3

you have . I'm like a real play .

Speaker 2

I know it's real , but it's people in there though , like when you see , like the video , like it was a real production .

Speaker 1

It's not like no , I know that , I saw it .

Speaker 3

I mean , it's just , the play sounds really fucking stupid .

Speaker 2

You know , just I didn't even know they had a Beetlejuice play . I didn't even think that would be a thing I'm gonna be honest .

Speaker 1

I'm way done Beetlejuice too , like I can't wait for the .

Speaker 3

The movie I like Beetlejuice movie . Yeah , that's what .

Speaker 1

I'm saying like I want to see the movie , so like I'm all good with the Beetlejuice Play , I guess .

Speaker 3

I'm sure it's fun . It wouldn't be that my first thing to spend money on if I were gonna go to a Broadway show , but maybe Colorado doesn't have as many .

Speaker 1

We can talk about Beetlejuice in the middle of the podcast . And then do you have something for your closing thoughts ? Because you know we do this every week , carol Tie every week .

Hey , this is D night this is Carol , this is time you're listening to the party interaction podcast , where we're actually not planning on pardoning insurrectionist , yet somehow Kevin McCarthy is planning on president who Didn't stage a coup against the United States . I don't know what the fuck world .

Speaker 3

That only narrows it down to like 45 other 44 other presidents . Do we count Grover Cleveland twice ?

Speaker 1

do you know how many presidents ? Hey , you know what ? That's a good question . Do we count Grover Cleveland twice , cuz he was the only president who had that like split thing where there was a Anyway ?

I couldn't make recommended more Alright on to the insanity that in two to ever since the last time we recorded the political insanity you never stops , never ends . It's just an ever ongoing Fucking disaster around here .

Speaker 3

So we got the speaker of the house held hostage .

Speaker 1

Not this again in the literal sense Wait January 6th more importantly than that , before we get to the speaker of house being speaker of the house being held hostage , we had the former president of the United States attend the Iowa Iowa State football game .

Speaker 2

That guy is a national treasure . Whatever name is , bless him .

Speaker 1

What guy might you be referring to tie ?

Speaker 2

double . And Best thing is he he looked like you would assume he was a maga . Yeah , he doesn't look like a Live or someone that , so that made it even more beautiful .

Speaker 1

Yes , there's this average generic looking white guy who's been caught in this infamous photo Giving Trump the double manor middle finger salute . It's quite fantastic , I think , that guy . Yeah , just to his behind his head , that guy speaks on behalf of all Americans everywhere , which ?

Speaker 3

is Sanchez was also in that picture he .

Speaker 2

there was another one because Trump was up in the box I heard the heat was in a seat and he was with somebody and then the guy was behind him and they were posing for a picture and he's like like his finger , like yeah , that one didn't get as much attention , but it was equally as glorious justice .

Speaker 1

Good , yes , carol . So you're like , why the fuck are these fuckers in Iowa ? Anyway , because the Iowa Congress are the first state and now what I said .

Speaker 3

Oh , I thought maybe they were at the same baseball game like together .

Speaker 1

Oh , Carol , it's football season . I know sports ball is a difficult subject for you to wrap your head around , but other people care about sports . Well , in in this case , iowa versus Iowa State you are actually on the right side of history and not caring . Absolutely no one should be watching that Like I just debauchery it's . It's a horrible existence .

You know the state of Iowa football . At this point , please , no one watch either Iowa or Iowa State or any of their football games .

Speaker 3

Yeah , they're different teams . One of them is University of Iowa and then the one is Iowa State .

Speaker 1

Yeah , practically and for all intensive purposes . They're horrific to watch for just reasons that we don't have time to get into into this spot on this podcast . Yeah , so that was . That was incredible . Watching Trump get middle-fingered by that , you know your average generic white guy who speaks for all of America , even on black . That was fantastic , just just .

Speaker 2

I don't want to think about jump getting finger . That just made me throw up in my mouth .

Speaker 1

Well , you know that was the first time Trump's been finger that he didn't actually enjoy it . No , but on to actual important . You know what ? Maybe I over stated the the use of the word important here . But other matters Whether they're important or not remains to be seen .

Apparently we have Kevin McCarthy On on a path to impeach Joe Biden , or at least he's on the path to opening in an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden , which is insane for lots of reasons . First of all , the fact that they don't have any evidence whatsoever to even open in the impeachment inquiry .

Speaker 3

This is one of those they like not take the vote , and then that shouldn't have been openly .

Speaker 1

All right , there's a lot going on . Carol , I'm glad you asked .

Speaker 3

Kevin has his heart in this . Also . I think he doesn't have his balls in this because they've been cut off and taken away .

Speaker 1

He also doesn't have the votes in this , so of course Kevin McCarthy is . I Don't even know where to start with this . Like so , kevin McCarthy . On Tuesday of this week , I announced that he was opening in an impeachment inquiry into president Joseph R Biden , and of course it's based on zero evidence whatsoever , so they don't actually have any .

There's no foundational , fundamental reason to be impeaching Joe Biden , but they've decided to open an impeachment inquiry anyway .

Speaker 3

Well , yeah , because he's being , you know , publicly threatened by the freedom caucus , aka the fascist caucus . Um God , I mean you see the video with Matt good up and be like you broke our promise pat yourself on the back , carol .

Speaker 1

That was a fantastic name .

Speaker 3

The fascist caucus yeah , do you see that , like Matt gate standing up , like oh well , kevin , like you're gonna find out , well , we'll vote to take you out . Like because you're not complying with the super secret list that we said didn't exist .

Speaker 1

All right . So obviously , given the fact that there's no evidence to impeach Biden on whatsoever there's no evidence of wrongdoing , of any high crimes or misdemeanors whatsoever like the fact that Kevin McCarthy is doing this does you have to wonder what the motivations are .

And , first and foremost , it appears that he's being held hostage by the more insane members of the Republican Party in the house , matt Gaetz and such and the former , the former guy , because apparently he was the one that we're gonna get to that . Yes , obviously .

Uh , they , these people , are too stupid to come up with anything as assinine as impeaching Biden with zero evidence on their own . It would take , you know , the former president , donald Trump , to come up with this idea .

Uh , first and foremost , of course , we had Matt Gaetz going on the record saying that they had signed an agreement at the time of choosing Kevin McCarthy to become the speaker of the house , and apparently Gaetz is accusing Kevin McCarthy of not holding up that agreement , whatever it is .

So you have to wonder what is actually even on that fucking piece of paper that Kevin McCarthy has agreed to .

It's , it's rather insane that apparently the Republican members of the house , who are in control of the house , have come to some secret agreement about how the government is supposed to be run and what the responsibilities of the speaker of the house are , and how this might affect the entirety of the country of America , yet no one knows what's in the fucking

document . So there's some secret document , secret document , floating around out there in the ether , uh , in the possession of someone in the house of representatives , yet no one has a public school , rather , no one seems to have a copy of it , because even Matt Gaetz went on tv the other day and said he didn't have a copy of the agreement with Kevin McCarthy .

Um , yet , somehow Kevin McCarthy is not holding upholding his part Yet . Also , no one knows what's in the fucking document . It's , it's fucking .

Speaker 2

Fucking probably .

Speaker 3

It's really like you hadn't impeached him already . He promised to do impeachment I had no fucking idea .

Speaker 1

But yeah , gaetz is practically threatening to recall Kevin McCarthy because it only takes Uh , a vote from a single house member to have the speaker of the house recalled , based on the rules they agreed to , if he doesn't impeach Biden . Um , but also .

Speaker 3

What a stupid rule .

Speaker 2

The motion to vacate . He could not get out of it . I mean , and even I think it was Dan Crenshaw that dumbass .

Speaker 1

He even like I like to call him eyeball , it's my , my , um patches , patches that's even better . That's a really good one that makes him sound even more like a dog .

Speaker 3

He was like this is not . This is not good Like a parking , compared him to a dog and a no good dog . I like dogs .

Speaker 1

Okay , let's go back . Let's go back in time . Why is there ? Why was there a change to the house rules ? Uh , that allows a single vote to recall the speaker of the house ? Well , in previous iterations of the room , the house representatives , uh , it would take a majority vote of congress to Recall the speaker of the house while I was changed .

Well , once Republicans had a majority in the house , they wanted to have something to hold over the speaker of the house . Uh , regardless of who that individual was , um , in order to , I guess , for the more radical members of the house to have a bit of influence and control over whoever the speaker of the house was right .

So , with the majority vote , like once your speaker of the house , they're going to take a significant amount of momentum to have the speaker removed and in this scenario , it all it takes is one fucking weird ass asshole on a bender .

Speaker 3

At least like 50 weird ass assholes .

Speaker 2

They knew that McCarthy was thirsty as fuck , yeah , and they threw that in there . This was if you don't do what we say , we're going to fucking boot your ass out . And also if you don't do what we want , because you still need our votes to get elected .

Speaker 1

Yeah , this was . This was a way for the crazy people to hold whoever the speaker of the house was hostage to do what they want . Now , in this particular case , when it comes to impeaching Joe Biden , this is a Trump plot . Like Trump is calling up the crazy members of the house , telling them hey , you got to impeach Joe Biden no matter what .

And they're following their orders and telling Kevin McCarthy hey , this is handed down from their , their version of the big guy . You , you got a whole an impeachment inquiry at the very least of Joe Biden , or else you're out . Now there's a number of problems with this First and foremost history .

If you just go back and look at , apart from Donald Trump , the , the most recent president to be impeached by the House representatives was , of course , william Clinton . Big Dick bills . I like to call them I actually don't like to call them that it . That's very appropriate .

Speaker 2

I'm sorry , has it been confirmed ? He's got a big dick .

Speaker 1

I have no idea and I'm not interested in finding out .

Speaker 3

He does , so he probably doesn't .

Speaker 2

Because every guy from Michigan that I've ever known is had a really huge duck .

Speaker 1

Arkansas . I'm not so sure was Bill , born in Michigan , because he was an Arkansas . Anyway , the most important part of the impeachment of Bill Clinton is relevant to today is like the fucking consequences , right ? So , yes , of course we all remember . I don't .

I don't know how familiar be any of you are who's who are listening to this with Bill Clinton's impeachment , but the long story short Clinton got impeached for lying about having sexual relations with one of his is closest Well , I you know , physically closest AIDS in the White House .

Speaker 2

But that wasn't even what he was like originally going to be .

Speaker 1

How far back do we have to go time ? All right , so what happened ?

Speaker 2

That's just that's people . A lot of people don't . They think that was the reason he was brought in , but it wasn't Okay you're right .

Speaker 1

You know we should . We should elaborate even further . What evidence in the 90s were Republicans looking ? Republicans looking at where they're like . Oh , we think it's fitting to open an investigation into the sitting president of the United States .

So they were looking at a , you know , a decades old real estate deal that Bill and Hillary had in their home state where they thought might have been some illicit means of obtaining a bit of profit , a deal that they probably wouldn't have made if not for the political office that Bill was holding at the time .

Well , it turns out Bill didn't really make any real money off that , off of that particular real estate deal . So , of course , the conclusion you have to draw from the investigation the Republicans open is that it was not based on actual evidence but was instead politically motivated . Had to job in order to damage the reputation of one president , bill Clinton .

If that sounds like there's any parallels between that in the present no , you're not fucking crazy . Like it's . It's like literally happening all over again , except there's even less evidence this time .

Well , when they didn't find any evidence of any financial wrongdoing on behalf of the Clintons , they kept digging in the Clintons life anyway , and we all know how the story goes . It went from you know financial wrongdoing to you know . I guess we could refer to it as sexual impropriety .

Speaker 3

Well , yeah that I'm not going to defend him on that . No , I'm not defending him , but I'm just saying I know , I know you're not , I'm just saying the others , the other stuff , but you know , goes too far down a rabbit hole .

Speaker 1

Yeah . So when they couldn't find any actual dirt on him , they found some , some , what we would call at the time , some politically inconvenient dirt . Right , he was apparently having a fair with the White House . A , we all know the story blah , blah , blah . He lied about that particular activity and he was impeached for that , but not convicted .

In the Senate and one of the ways 1997 . Yeah , a little bit of both part of the insurrection .

It was like so , more importantly , the fallout from the impeachment of Bill Clinton , which was a political stunt designed to try and get him removed from office , as well , as , you know , al Gore , potentially in order to install a Republican Speaker of the House president .

Not only did it fail and wildly backfired and not only cost , like the Republican Speaker of the House's job . It cost two Republican speakers their job and resulted in a third Republican Speaker being appointed .

Speaker 3

And it resulted in a lot of men think you , regardless of political affiliation , thinking hey , yeah , man , because of the blow job .

Speaker 1

Well , okay , well , it resulted in a third Speaker of the House , he , who shall not be named , who was convicted , who ended up becoming a convicted child .

Speaker 2

Oh , Jesus Christ .

Speaker 1

Yeah , we don't have to delve into details of that . Like you got Wikipedia , you got Google , you can look that shit up for yourself . But of course you know it ended with a Republican . You know , child sexual abuser . And again , like the parallels , the parallels to current times , they just they're unending .

So if you look at the way that played out in the 90s with the popular Democratic president , you can see how there's the possibility for you know , a similar , a similar , I guess .

Speaker 2

Just outcome or repeat .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I mean replaying themselves in 2023 and 2024 , compared to the way they were handled in the 90s . And now , of course , you're like . You're all saying , well , hey , didn't they impeach Trump ? It worked out pretty well for the Democrats . The difference there is the impeachment of Trump was based on actual evidence .

Well , at least you know , the first impeachment of Trump was in regards to Trump trying to blackmail the president of Ukraine , who is now at war with Russia , into announcing an investigation into his political rival . That sounds familiar .

Yeah , so that , that particular impeachment , although it seemingly didn't necessarily help Democrats , it didn't hurt Democrats , as far as you know . The political aspect is concerned because it was based on actual evidence . Now you can point to the second impeachment , given that Trump had already lost the election .

Now , maybe that didn't necessarily help Democrats in 2022 . But at that particular point in time , I don't think there had ever been a point in Trump's presidency where he was that unpopular , like if you look at like the polling not that polling is necessarily the most accurate reflection of the sentiment in this country , but the polling at the time of 2021 .

In January , trump was being impeached and we were all watching those events unfold on television , where , where Trump's impeachment lawyers were on national TV saying the n word . Well anyone remembers that Trump's never been more unpopular than that particular moment , because , of course , january 6 is the most unpopular event in Trump's administration .

Biden didn't have any such events that you can tie him to . There's , no , there's no one thing you can say about Biden was like oh , this thing that he did , that was awful . Biden's a bad president . There's , there's nothing like that .

So it's entirely possible that if this process unfolds the way it did with with Bill Clinton , it can end up backfiring and putting a spotlight on just how good of a job president Biden is doing and just how insanely asinine Republicans are . It's a total repeat of the 90s . Tell about right kids . Yeah , did I nail that ?

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 1

No .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 1

Yeah , maybe kind of .

Speaker 3

Yes , and I was super engaged the whole time . It's a conversation . Oh , you know , carol , feel free , you weren't rambling on . I mean , you weren't rambling .

Speaker 1

No , feel free to tell me to shut the fuck up whenever I'm rambling , Carol , because I totally understand that I tend to do that .

Speaker 3

Oh , I didn't give everyone enough facts .

Speaker 1

I need to explain this thing and this thing and this thing . And then Carol's like all right , I zoned out eight minutes ago when you're going to shut the fuck up , yeah .

Speaker 3

Well , I started going back to my uh , what's it called ? Spelling bee . I'm a genius .

Speaker 2

Oh , your time gets clean bee .

Speaker 1

So my girl give me some dap Boom .

Speaker 3

Oh yeah .

Speaker 1

We fist bumped in the zoom camera in case you were wondering what's happening ? Um , yeah , so , carol , do you have any like recollection of what it was like to see the Bill Clinton impeach impeachment in the 90s ? I know we're of a similar age . I was , like you know , a youth , uh , but I still have a .

Speaker 3

So my earliest , my name is Monica , and she had a hard time that year . Let's do that .

Speaker 2

That's awful .

Speaker 1

Okay , let's , let's play a quick little game . First of all , like all right , carol , what's your earliest political memory ? Do you do you , do you have any idea ?

Speaker 3

I mean , I do think it is a Bill Clinton memory . I mean I remember when he was born in and like just people clapped for him forever and he had to . I remember he got so many applause and he was just like a rock star man . He's like he just had to keep saying thank you for like 10 minutes and I was like wow .

Speaker 1

I do remember that , now that you bring it up , it was insane . They're like . I think what happened was they couldn't believe this dude be an incumbent president and everyone was just like sucking his dick , which , you know , carried forth into his administration .

Speaker 2

All right Ty you're a little more elderly

Speaker 1

and advanced in age than us . What is your earliest political memory ?

Speaker 2

My earliest political memory is probably my mom and stepdad and I was like six or seven . No , I was like maybe going to see Reagan speak , going to see .

Speaker 1

Reagan .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I knew Charlotte and they went to see . They went to see Reagan speak , they speak .

Speaker 1

What do you remember most about Reagan when you were younger ? Because I can tell you I don't remember this because I was too young , but what I know of Reagan is he was incredible at the TV aspect of being president .

Speaker 2

Yes , that's exactly it , Orators , I .

Speaker 1

He was great but he was terrible at the actual job of it , Anyway . But yeah , I can wait .

Speaker 3

I have an earlier one . I knew we were at what I knew about the Gulf War Because that's mine .

Speaker 1

Oh , sorry , too late .

Speaker 3

Can I just tell my full full then I'm going to finish my story , since I wrote it , because I doubt you have the same exact story D .

Speaker 2

Okay .

Speaker 3

When you wanted to send you to visit your grandmother in Florida and ask what there was to do , and they're like well , you could go sailing , you could go swimming in the Gulf . And I was like but there's a war .

Speaker 2

Oh God , that's so good , that's funny .

Speaker 1

That's hilarious .

Speaker 3

You can tell what was going on .

Speaker 1

No , that is definitely such a childhood memory .

Speaker 2

But yeah , I ran contraherring were big for me . I was glued to the TV and Oliver North's testimony during that .

Speaker 1

Yeah , it's incredible how no one went to prison for that shit , ain't it ?

Speaker 2

That's probably . I remember the black guy that was involved . He stayed on his boat like out of reach of Coast Guard and he just kept sailing .

So they couldn't like you know , international water , but no but watching those hearings and watching Oliver North and that is probably like the most impressionable one on me when I was young , because it was like like 10 , 10 years , yeah , and it was all over TV at the time .

Speaker 1

I don't imagine , and you know , when you only have like six channels like something , you're like oh , this is fucking incredible . Yeah . So my earliest political memory is actually of the Gulf War and I remember it specifically because I was like I think it was CNN because we had finally gotten cable .

No , my grandmother , no , no , no , I'm sorry I made a mistake my grandmother and my grandfather had gotten satellite , so they had the CNN , the CNN feed , and like you could just like you could see the reporters , like out there on the fucking sand dunes and like the tanks going over the fucking hills and like all in the helicopters and shit , I'm like damn ,

it's fucking crazy in Kuwait . Yeah . So that was like my earliest recollection of like any anyway not .

Speaker 3

Dude , I had a game called a rack attack and it was like a helicopter just like shooting .

Speaker 2

I was a huge . I was always like newspapers , but I was always like newspapers , but I was a big fan of nightly news .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 2

So when they would like do the roundup and stuff , you know at night the Sam Donaldson and the Tom Rowe calls you know back in the day like I would be glued to that I look forward to it every night .

But I think it was the Iran contra that got me just really like interested in politics , because I was like , yeah , somehow After watching that you became a Republican .

Speaker 1

I'm sorry listeners , she's changed her ways .

Speaker 2

Oliver Oliver North . Like I don't know , Maybe it was just something about him . When he was just show up to testify and he was in that uniform and always in his uniform , he had his head under his arm . And he come and he sit down and he was all .

Speaker 1

Yeah , the propaganda fucking word . Now that we're old we realize we . He probably had advisors in his ear telling him how to present himself on fucking television . It was like bro , where the fucking uniform ? Where the uniform .

Speaker 2

But he was so adamant about the shit he was saying , he was just so poised and when I'm just looking I'm like I know that was some fucked up shit . You know , like kid , did you do it for the four minutes ? Yeah , I do it , I do it Okay .

Speaker 1

Yeah , that shit sounded fucking awesome in 1980 , whatever the fuck . Yeah , now that you're in a door you're like , oh , he was so full of shit , he was full of shit .

Speaker 2

You totally , yeah , like looking like now , like you look , and you see it through a different lens .

But I , you know , I wasn't from a like Political household , necessarily , but my grandfather was very big on , like you know , black history and stuff like that and I'm listening to him like testify and I'm just like man , this shit is wild and he's literally like he's going to go fucking down for this motherfucker , like that's , that's some fucking gangsta shit ,

like like just you know at that time . And then I think the next big moment was the Clarence Thomas hearings . That was like and I knew . I knew that he was a mistake .

Speaker 1

Speaker 2

Anita Hill that I remember her testify and testify about the pubes on the coke can and shit . It was like what the fuck is wrong with this dude ?

Speaker 1

Okay , I'm glad you brought that up , because that's actually my earliest political memory . Now that you mentioned it , I just it's in my mind . What the Clarence Thomas hearing because I was like oh , it's a black guy , they're going to put him in charge of something that's incredible . And then you , like the hearing is like oh , it's that kind of black guy .

Speaker 2

Yeah , like this is the best they could get .

Speaker 1

Like to replace yeah , they're good it's like oh , they found the worst possible black dude imaginable .

Speaker 2
