[SPEAKER_06]: And of course, I mean, it was utterly forgettable, as we mentioned last week, which, you know, whatever.

[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you know, it's no surprise. [SPEAKER_06]: Donald is an idiot. [SPEAKER_06]: And of course, [SPEAKER_06]: Right in line with that, Donald Trump, another stupid Republican president gets us into another stupid Republican war. [SPEAKER_07]: It's a war. [SPEAKER_07]: Anybody saying it's not a war? [SPEAKER_07]: They're lying to you.

[SPEAKER_06]: Well, the first thing is, Donald came out in this pre-recorded thing that dropped it like two in the morning, each after and time on his toilet social, whatever, that he comes out and says, this is a war. [SPEAKER_06]: You don't get to declare war now, I know people are like, oh, we had the Iraq thing. [SPEAKER_06]: We had there been five times, I think, that Congress has declared war, what is it?

[SPEAKER_06]: The Spanish-American war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war,

[SPEAKER_06]: now they've they've given a use of authorization for middle of say whatever it's all the way map right that's it there is no a u mf that covers a war in a land no so that's first things first but so the u s and is real now in a lot of for a lot of middle eastern countries this is first of all for those people who don't know

[SPEAKER_06]: Let's set the table, let's set the map, because there are a lot of people, but some, obviously, folks, you know, some of you good folks here in the bar hanging out with us, you guys understand, but there are a lot of people who don't, if you think of the Middle East, the stereotypical core of the Middle East, it's the nations that surround the Gulf. [SPEAKER_06]: And on the north side of it, [SPEAKER_06]: And on the south side of it is the Arab nations and on the west side of it.

[SPEAKER_06]: You've got your Iraq and Kuwait, and yeah, Israel's kind of at the edge of that. [SPEAKER_06]: So I'm going to read it's more Mediterranean side. [SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_06]: But whatever. [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. [SPEAKER_06]: So this is this is the layout of this. [SPEAKER_06]: Now, if you're looking at this map that we've drawn in your head there as we're talking here in the radio on the south side of this, that's all basically one kind of Islam.

[SPEAKER_06]: This is like, um, what am I thinking, Southern Baptists and Catholics? [SPEAKER_06]: I see that. [SPEAKER_06]: Not so much natural, but especially, you know, like back in the day, they hate each other's gods. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes. [SPEAKER_06]: They're both the nominally quote and quote Christian, but you're not my flavor of Christian. [SPEAKER_06]: It's the same thing with Islam.

[SPEAKER_06]: One is one flavor of Islam, one is the other flavor of Islam, and they have killed each other lots of times over this, because my version of God is better than yours, which is just stupid. [SPEAKER_07]: This is part of the reason I don't like organized religion. [SPEAKER_06]: No, I prefer this organ. [SPEAKER_06]: I prefer people who, if you're going to be a religious, believe what you believe would be honest about it.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: And I prefer people who have spirituality, whether your religious or not. [SPEAKER_07]: Yep. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm an agnostic because you know, there's something out there, you just know quite sure who's got it right and you're like, hey, whatever, that's not cool with that. [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm an agnostic too. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm recovering Catholic over here. [SPEAKER_06]: Um, I was raised Missouri Senate Lutheran.

[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I like the Lutheran's and the Methodists and the Episcopalians. [SPEAKER_06]: Some, I mean, you know, I like the more liberal versions of these. [SPEAKER_06]: All those, right, because they don't tend to be jackasses. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, just the further conservative you go, the more jackass you get in general. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes. [SPEAKER_06]: In any case.

[SPEAKER_06]: So, looking at the Middle East, you've got Iran is one flavor, and the Arab nations are another, and then you've got the Israelis and the Palestinians. [SPEAKER_06]: And they're in there too, and there's kind of a mix, especially that corner of the universe is a Palestine Iraq.

[SPEAKER_06]: That has been for thousands of years, there has been different groups [SPEAKER_06]: at least five I know that I know that I know that I know that China's got writings back eight thousand but there's tons I mean there's just it there's a lot of history and that yeah it's the dawn of civilization is right there [SPEAKER_06]: Right, and basically the people who say, well, my people were first here. [SPEAKER_06]: No, no, no, they weren't there.

[SPEAKER_06]: There were people there before you and before even history. [SPEAKER_06]: So let's, let's stuff, you know, nobody who says I was here for since like, that's like the white people here in North America who go, I was here first. [SPEAKER_06]: No, no, you weren't. [SPEAKER_06]: Talk to some friends of ours. [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_06]: And guess what, even before their tribes were here, [SPEAKER_06]: There were other people who were not their tribes and they know that.

[SPEAKER_06]: So just you know the idea of I was your first No, that doesn't that doesn't compute sorry about that, but So anyway, so now you got to lay in the land [SPEAKER_06]: they've all had disagreements for a long time and we didn't help when we overthrew the elected leader of Iran to install um somebody knew and then they had a revolution and took out the person that we installed because it really wasn't anywhere.

[SPEAKER_06]: There's uh there's a mess and it's a long history and we have been mucking around and other people's politics [SPEAKER_06]: for a very long time. [SPEAKER_06]: Way too long. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: So let's start there. [SPEAKER_06]: So over the weekend in case you missed it, the U.S. and Israel attacked around Trump urged the Iranians to take over the government. [SPEAKER_06]: Do you understand the absurdity of him saying that, Jody?

[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, I do, because it's like telling California to do it. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, also the fact that the IRGCD Iranian Republic Guard, basically their military, has 650,000 members. [SPEAKER_06]: And that guard is all integrated with the people who are in their majority of their political systems. [SPEAKER_06]: All of those people have a dedicated, [SPEAKER_06]: effort, investment in their lives, in having the regime as they have it continued.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yes. [SPEAKER_06]: This is this Iraq is it might be big by geography, our opinion, if we're comparing Iraq and Iran. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, if we're talking about populations definitely different. [SPEAKER_06]: Big time different. [SPEAKER_06]: Iraq would be more like, um, [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if it's quite as sparse as Montana or Wyoming. [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe, maybe Nebraska. [SPEAKER_06]: Sparse, located in a couple of cities, sparse and a lot of the rest of it.

[SPEAKER_07]: Iran is like New York and California. [SPEAKER_07]: Come by. [SPEAKER_06]: It's got a whole lot of people. [UNKNOWN]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: And like I said, they have a full-ass army of like 650,000 people and that doesn't include their proxies, the people who are in that region who agree with them, but may not necessarily live in one of the nations that has the same type of politics as they do.

[SPEAKER_06]: And you add all of those proxies in, you're probably getting somewhere close to three quarters of a million people who agree with them in that corner of the universe. [SPEAKER_06]: So Donald decides, let's declare war on this. [SPEAKER_06]: First of all, you can't declare war. [SPEAKER_06]: Donald, only Congress can. [SPEAKER_06]: Second of all, there are some people who were calling this as supposed to be, what is it, Operation Epic Force?

[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, Epic Fury. [SPEAKER_06]: That's it, yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: So although online, there were a lot of people who were calling it, Operation Epstein Distraction, which I get. [SPEAKER_06]: Epstein Files. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, I understand that people think that some people especially think that this is it's kind of a distraction from the absteen stuff. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, you don't think it's wagging any dog? [SPEAKER_06]: Well, okay, first of all, the CIA very much.

[SPEAKER_06]: We have one of those stories that happens to be in the news on tap today. [SPEAKER_06]: It's listed as not a distraction. [SPEAKER_06]: CIA tracked a community and other Iranian leaders for months before the virus is really a text. [SPEAKER_06]: So they were waiting on this. [SPEAKER_06]: Second thing is explain to me how this is actually really a distraction.

[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, so one of the first attacks that they did that the U.S. and Israeli forces did killed more than 150 underage girls at a school. [SPEAKER_06]: How is killing 150 underage girls at a school, a well-time distraction from the accusations that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl? [SPEAKER_06]: I'm kind of thinking it's more of a reminder than a distraction. [SPEAKER_07]: Okay, I can't. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm not saying I think it's great.

[SPEAKER_06]: It's absolutely not great at all. [SPEAKER_06]: But I'm thinking for those people who are going, oh, it's a distraction. [SPEAKER_06]: It's not really a distraction, though, because, you know, it's a distraction through this hamburger. [SPEAKER_06]: This steak is a distraction from this, not really, they're, they're both kind of in the same corner of the world, so, you know, killing and harming lots of innocent girls. [SPEAKER_06]: harming lots of innocent girls.

[SPEAKER_06]: This is almost the same thing. [SPEAKER_06]: I don't see how this is a distraction. [SPEAKER_07]: I saw some people saying no, the Iranians hit the school. [SPEAKER_07]: So there's that going on. [SPEAKER_06]: There's there was a ton of misinformation and disinformation on social media out there. [SPEAKER_06]: Am I realize that some of this is being being spread by by different groups out there because among other things,

[SPEAKER_06]: the maga folks are fracturing all over the place on this and a match three toes whole not only mad you got Tucker Tucker Carlson crawling out of the woodwork supposedly he was at the White House three times in the last month telling Donnie don't go to war with the ran and clearly like most people Donald Trump does not listen to Tucker Carlson which I'm not against him for that but still no no I'm right [SPEAKER_07]: Well, I hate that he was right for once.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, but we we will have to talk about that There's there's some confusing allies out there and there's several allies for the same reason We got to talk about that. [SPEAKER_06]: We got to talk about how Netanyahu and the Saudis and the Arabs basically kind of punts Donnie into doing this Being like oh yeah, you're a was you're gonna do it.

[SPEAKER_06]: You're not gonna do it [SPEAKER_06]: yeah we'll talk about all of that obviously we have a very good drink of the day I like today's drink of the day it's um you know it rhymes it's silly it's you can be a musical it could be it could be it could be of course Brooklyn Dad if I come in and as well freshen your drink and come on back it's Jody and me and you here at the politics bar on a one day night we'll be right back after we'd pay some bills at the politics bar

[SPEAKER_06]: It is a Monday night, here's the politics bar. [SPEAKER_06]: I had to check for a second. [SPEAKER_06]: I was looking at the calendar. [SPEAKER_06]: My answer's, I was looking at the calendar and saying tomorrow is Tuesday. [SPEAKER_06]: Malcolm is gonna be here tomorrow. [SPEAKER_06]: Brooklyn data fine is here tonight, which is good. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, this is good, but I'm like, wait a minute, wait a minute. [SPEAKER_06]: I was looking at Tuesday, it is Monday.

[SPEAKER_06]: It is. [SPEAKER_06]: Sometimes you look at the calendar. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm really excited for the next Sunday. [SPEAKER_06]: You know what next Sunday is? [SPEAKER_06]: Daylight saving time returns. [SPEAKER_06]: I can actually like you know see light during the daytime hours. [SPEAKER_06]: I know. [SPEAKER_07]: That's just pick a timed out. [SPEAKER_06]: Just pick it Exactly exactly pick daylight saving time. [SPEAKER_06]: That's the same. [SPEAKER_07]: Either one.

[SPEAKER_06]: I don't care. [SPEAKER_06]: Just pick one You guys you guys can drop your opinions on us to us e and any of our social medias You will talk about that at some point this week. [SPEAKER_06]: Of course we're on blue sky and threads Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Substack and YouTube. [SPEAKER_06]: We are at the politics bar, which right now is where you are

[SPEAKER_06]: All right, by the way, thanks to everybody who calls Lee's messages and texts also on the bar line two on three six seven seven seven seven seventy two fifty eight that's two one three six seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven

[SPEAKER_06]: You know, pretty much, we were talking about this when we came in today, every Republican saved one, every Republican except next during our lifetimes has started a stupid ass war in the Middle East and destroyed the economy at least once, if not multiple times, every single one. [SPEAKER_06]: Every single Democrat has lowered the deficit, invested in workers, broadens the civil rights of Mayor, I'm sitting here going, how dumb do you have to be to keep voting for the Republican?

[SPEAKER_06]: How stupid do you have to be? [SPEAKER_07]: I've argued with people that Reagan Republicans, by the way, [SPEAKER_06]: Bruce Bartlett, who was literally one of Reagan's, yes, Bruce is like how dumb do you have to be. [SPEAKER_06]: When Bruce Bartlett, one of the guys who actually helped create trickle down and remember, they abused it. [SPEAKER_06]: He did not want it to be. [SPEAKER_06]: It was not supposed to be a universal hammer.

[SPEAKER_06]: It was supposed to be for closed economy, which we had in late 70s, early 80s, there's a lot of closed economies in the world, years anyway, but. [SPEAKER_06]: Now he's like, why would you do it now that doesn't make any sense now? [SPEAKER_07]: I have argued with those Republicans that I went to college with. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm like, Reagan, you wouldn't vote for... Reagan, Reagan wouldn't be allowed in the Republican Party. [SPEAKER_07]: God, no, he's liberal, comparatively.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: And he was awful. [SPEAKER_06]: And a lot of the people around him were even more awful. [SPEAKER_07]: I didn't meet him. [SPEAKER_07]: He was very nice. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, personal. [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you, you can, you can be personally nice. [SPEAKER_06]: And he's very lovely. [SPEAKER_06]: Professionally, there have been several of the Iranian presidents who, I mean, Mr. Reagan would have known.

[SPEAKER_06]: Well, but Iran is is, we ever he got the hostages. [SPEAKER_06]: Right. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, that's a whole other thing of the time. [SPEAKER_06]: But Iran has a supreme leader who is a religious leader. [SPEAKER_06]: And then they have a president as well. [SPEAKER_06]: Right. [SPEAKER_06]: And the president answers to the supreme leader. [SPEAKER_06]: But the president is elected by the people. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes. [SPEAKER_06]: That makes sense.

[UNKNOWN]: Okay. [SPEAKER_06]: Um, and the thing is, there have been several presidents, which different, uh, foreign people who have met and, and even journalists have said, oh, you know, he wasn't so bad. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, there have been some decent presidents personally, professionally, they've all sucked really. [SPEAKER_06]: That's, that's, that's, that's where you said they're in, Ronald Reagan, personally, nice guy professionally, lovely, sucky.

[SPEAKER_06]: Lovely personally, sucky professionally, right? [SPEAKER_06]: So there you go. [SPEAKER_07]: But especially man who, by the way, wrong Reagan, with the head of the union, and then screwed unions. [SPEAKER_06]: Senior, senior was the head of the union. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, wrong Reagan, the man who later became president was the head of the actors union. [SPEAKER_06]: He was.

[SPEAKER_06]: But look, the current idiot who was occupying the White House, [SPEAKER_06]: Um, we all know that everybody, every, every leader around the world, ever put a leader around the world has Donald's number. [SPEAKER_06]: They all know how to kiss his ass and get him to do what they want and then poke him. [SPEAKER_06]: Netanyahu in the Saudis pushed Donald Trump toward pulling the trigger. [SPEAKER_06]: They've been, been edging him on to do this since 2016.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe before. [SPEAKER_06]: And Trump was goblown enough to do their dirty work for them. [SPEAKER_06]: This was, this was, in fact, a Rachel Matta who showed up over the weekend, which, when Rachel is, is doing something semi live on a weekend, you generally know there's, there's news going on. [SPEAKER_07]: Sometimes it's going down. [SPEAKER_06]: Right.

[SPEAKER_06]: Um, and and she actually had a good we we actually have this in the news on tap under under the first round another stupid Republican war subheading cause and effects. [SPEAKER_06]: So the war has widened. [SPEAKER_06]: It hasn't just stayed in Israel. [SPEAKER_06]: Um, they're hitting all over the place. [SPEAKER_06]: And intelligence sources confirmed that there was a push from the Saudis and Israel that helped move Trump to attack Iran.

[SPEAKER_06]: And Rachel laid it out really beautifully. [SPEAKER_06]: We've got the link you guys can check that out. [SPEAKER_06]: Who benefits from Trump's war and Iran?

[SPEAKER_06]: Don't know not really actually it's it's going to screw him in 18 different directions, but it will benefit the Saudis the Israelis and the Arab nations remember how we drew that map here a little bit ago on the north side you got a ran on the south side you got south side and the the west side you've got Saudi Arabia the

[SPEAKER_06]: what's the Arab nations and the Saudis have been trying to do because a lot of the terrorism in the Middle East has been generated by Iran and their proxy groups in other nations Syria, what have you had also on the west side there and they would like everybody to stop blowing each other up and killing each other because they know that there [SPEAKER_06]: And the Gulf, to get in and out of the Gulf, there is, if you're looking at a map, it's kind of like a giant sea.

[SPEAKER_06]: The land is like a giant letter sea. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, except there is a small opening, where the two parts of the sea, the two ends of the sea, don't connect. [SPEAKER_06]: That small thin opening is known as a straight of harm moves. [SPEAKER_06]: 20% of the oil in the world goes through there. [SPEAKER_06]: Yep. [SPEAKER_06]: And Iran, for the most part, controls the straight of harm moves and controls a lot of the Gulf.

[SPEAKER_06]: So this war, because it's an illegal war, but it is still a war. [SPEAKER_06]: This war is going to drive prices up. [SPEAKER_06]: on gas. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, starting already. [SPEAKER_06]: Look, yeah, we've got a story on that as well under the cause and effects. [SPEAKER_06]: Also thousands of flights, by the way, canceled. [SPEAKER_06]: Because all of the strikebacks that the Iranians are doing, they're hitting all across the Gulf region.

[SPEAKER_06]: And so now you've got, we've been got a story down in the entertainment and sports world, because there have been a lot more of these big sporting events that have been moved to Bahrain and moved all over the Middle

[SPEAKER_06]: Except now they don't know if they can, and of course they can't get the planes there because pretty much everybody in the region is grounded And of course higher gas prices are coming to the pump after all of this isn't this great congratulations, Donald You feed [SPEAKER_06]: This is always the way the Republicans do it. [SPEAKER_06]: They want somebody else. [SPEAKER_06]: What's the modern Republican motto? [SPEAKER_06]: I've got mine, FU. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, pretty much.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: They, in this case, it's actually kind of applied to them by being at Yahoo and the Saudis and the Arabs, who said, got a deal for your donning. [SPEAKER_06]: Your big was. [SPEAKER_06]: You can't do it with anything. [SPEAKER_06]: And of course talking with, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, I want a bit I got big guns [SPEAKER_02]: Shut the f*** up, Donnie. [SPEAKER_07]: I got ammo, wait, maybe not.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: That's an issue too. [SPEAKER_06]: We'll have to talk about that later in the week. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, we'll talk to Malcolm about it tomorrow. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yes, absolutely. [SPEAKER_06]: Americans are not supporting us, by the way. [SPEAKER_06]: The new voters, if so, Paul, Americans overwhelmingly oppose or at least don't support. [SPEAKER_06]: University Maryland poll, the 21% of Americans support the United States initiating an attack on Iran.

[SPEAKER_06]: And that was taken just before. [SPEAKER_06]: Right. [SPEAKER_06]: All of this. [SPEAKER_06]: Our friend, G. L. E. Morris, you had strength in numbers. [SPEAKER_06]: Go through a bunch of polls. [SPEAKER_06]: The show Trump has started war with the ran. [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, literally, you're you're looking at basically about one in five American support this. [SPEAKER_06]: When you are on the, what's known as a downside politically of an 80, 20 subject, you're not going to win.

[SPEAKER_07]: Won't we there in 2003, though? [SPEAKER_06]: Well, the reason this is different. [SPEAKER_06]: In 2003, the memory of 9-11 was still fresh.

[SPEAKER_06]: And yes, there was a lot of propaganda that was involved around 9-11, which some people knew about and flagged then, and a lot of them were shouted down by the news media, which as you probably noticed, the mainstream news media is all gung, ho about a war, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho,

[SPEAKER_06]: silver linings to this is that there are a whole lot of people who've been trying to split for mainstream media and I think even more are going to continue to split for mainstream media. [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. [SPEAKER_06]: Because when 80% of the country says, I am not behind this war and I don't want to be behind this war. [SPEAKER_06]: Why are you cheerleading for this war mainstream news media and the mainstream news me to go because you'll pay attention to us.

[SPEAKER_06]: No, no matter fact, they'll go to alternative media sources. [SPEAKER_06]: They're not going to pay attention to you. [SPEAKER_06]: They're not going to watch your cheerleading shut up. [SPEAKER_07]: You're right. [SPEAKER_07]: It's not 2003 anymore. [SPEAKER_07]: Social media is taking on. [SPEAKER_06]: An alternative media and sub-stacks and ghosts and basically blogs. [SPEAKER_06]: With the blogosphere went away and it really has kind of florished again.

[SPEAKER_06]: And then you've got all the video you've got you to, but yes, you've got TikTok and you've got all the video on all the other short socials. [SPEAKER_06]: So your blue sky and your threads and yeah, Twitter still do does video pretty good and people are. [SPEAKER_06]: issuing the mainstream media. [SPEAKER_06]: They're good away from it, which is one of the reasons I think the whole paramount trying to buy CNN is absolutely stupid. [SPEAKER_07]: I agree.

[SPEAKER_06]: So there's Ted Serrandos. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, well, look, that's that's why he said it was it would have been nice for Netflix to buy it at a good price. [SPEAKER_06]: We weren't going to have it at any price. [SPEAKER_06]: Good luck with that Paramount. [SPEAKER_06]: We talked about that. [SPEAKER_06]: If you guys missed it, yeah, go check out the podcast. [SPEAKER_06]: You know where to go for that. [SPEAKER_06]: The politics bar.

[SPEAKER_06]: But the numbers, the numbers are all looking great for Donald and for all of these people. [SPEAKER_06]: But here's the big key. [SPEAKER_06]: Maga is fracturing over this badly. [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you, Fully. [SPEAKER_06]: Ha ha ha. [SPEAKER_06]: Look, they were sold a bill of goods. [SPEAKER_06]: A big part of America first was no new wars. [SPEAKER_07]: Mads said so. [SPEAKER_06]: She did. [SPEAKER_07]: And she's really mad. [SPEAKER_06]: She's really pissed.

[SPEAKER_06]: And now she got nothing. [SPEAKER_06]: She's got plenty of money. [SPEAKER_06]: And she got nothing but time. [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_06]: And she had to vote on anything anymore. [SPEAKER_06]: watch for these maggots to blame Netanyahu because Netanyahu is Jewish. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, it's coming. [SPEAKER_06]: No, of course, that they can't stop but being anti-Semitic, which by the way, um, Graham Platner did another interview with another anti-Semitic idiot podcast.

[SPEAKER_07]: First off, you can be against Netanyahu and not be anti-Semitic. [SPEAKER_06]: And then I'm just sucks as a political leader. [SPEAKER_06]: He's awesome. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, we used to say this on a Randy show that you almost had to feel bad that this was back when we had Biden and Harris.

[SPEAKER_06]: And we said, you know, we felt sorry for the folks there because on one side of the line, you've got the Palestinians who are controlled by literally a terrorist organization, horrible government. [SPEAKER_06]: And on the other side of the line, you have Israel, good people, and they are being ruled controlled by BB Netanyahu, who's a horrendous awful terrible. [SPEAKER_06]: We have one of those. [SPEAKER_06]: We do. [SPEAKER_06]: His name is Donald Trump.

[SPEAKER_06]: Also JD fans also sucks. [SPEAKER_06]: Also the Republican Supreme Court and the Republican Congress. [SPEAKER_06]: who, by the way, Congress is coming back this week, and that's something they're going to have to debate this week. [SPEAKER_07]: It's going to be fun to watch. [SPEAKER_06]: Review and headset, they're set to give a briefing on our end of Congress tomorrow.

[SPEAKER_06]: Congress is facing a war powers vote this week, and remember, since Magga is splitting on this, you're going to have some Republicans who are actually going to be siding with the Democrats. [SPEAKER_06]: And some Republicans won't. [SPEAKER_06]: This is not going to be easy. [SPEAKER_06]: And remind me, Joe, how many Republicans is tiny Johnson having a house right now? [SPEAKER_07]: Two more. [SPEAKER_06]: Two hundred and eighteen.

[SPEAKER_07]: Two eighteen, and then he needs two eighteen to pass anything. [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_06]: So how many does he have to to sacrifice Zero technically because if he's exactly nothing. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, right exactly. [SPEAKER_06]: He got none. [SPEAKER_06]: He got tiny Johnson is so small. [SPEAKER_06]: He's almost invisible Which I'm okay with I don't want to see him either and then you got the Senate that's like [SPEAKER_07]: completely split.

[SPEAKER_06]: Well, but then you've got the Senate where you've got you've got Democrats, but you've also still got some of those Republicans and some of those Republicans are still on that Marjorie Taylor Greene Tucker Carlson side, and they believed that Donald Trump meant no new wars. [SPEAKER_06]: You got Holland as Holly, and I can bet you that he's going to be like, well, you know, so we're we're going to see, but this is not going to be easy splits at all when Congress gets back.

[SPEAKER_06]: This is going to be a mess. [SPEAKER_06]: We've got some details on that. [SPEAKER_06]: You guys can check that out in the news on tap. [SPEAKER_06]: Obviously, we have a very good drink today, and I want to take a break from all of this Iran War Talk because of the fact that, you know, it's kind of dark, it's kind of heavy, and this stuff is kind of fun, and got some levity. [SPEAKER_06]: It's a little rhymy. [SPEAKER_06]: It is a little rhymy, not so slimy.

[SPEAKER_06]: I'm thinking that it would be a good day. [SPEAKER_06]: I was trying to rhyme. [SPEAKER_07]: I know, it just didn't work to it. [SPEAKER_06]: Look, I'm not a rapper. [SPEAKER_06]: I can't rhyme off without my head. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm just, you know, I'm, I'm, I am white. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm not an M&M. [SPEAKER_07]: Mr. Guys, we'll do it. [SPEAKER_06]: He could do fantastic work. [SPEAKER_06]: Mr. Guys will Ted Geisel. [SPEAKER_06]: Dr. Actually, did you know he was not a doctor?

[SPEAKER_06]: He was never a doctor. [SPEAKER_06]: He was never a doctor. [SPEAKER_06]: Kind of like Laura. [SPEAKER_06]: Dr. Laura was never a doctor either. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, I think she had her doctor read. [SPEAKER_07]: But the doctor is like Dr. Maddo, a doctor is a PhD. [SPEAKER_07]: It's a doctor. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, okay, but you know, I mean, they're technically a doctor. [SPEAKER_06]: There are some people go by doc or doctor.

[SPEAKER_06]: And in this case, we're talking about Dr. Sus. [SPEAKER_06]: What is the drink of the day? [SPEAKER_06]: And obviously, you know, the cause of a Dartmouth highball. [SPEAKER_06]: Nice. [SPEAKER_07]: And it's because of Dr. Seuss. [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: He went to Dartmouth. [SPEAKER_06]: I like Dr. Seuss. [SPEAKER_06]: I know that there is. [SPEAKER_07]: This is birthday. [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_06]: Today, what is it?

[SPEAKER_06]: March 2nd, 1904. [SPEAKER_06]: So, he was, he just ran until early 90s. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, he was. [SPEAKER_06]: And then I guess one of the books that you highlighted here in this great write-up. [SPEAKER_06]: What pet should I get? [SPEAKER_06]: That's the last one. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, his wife found the book in 2013 and then published it in 2015. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: So he was pretty prolific and I've always liked a lot of stuff. [SPEAKER_07]: Me too.

[SPEAKER_06]: There are people who, however, there are some controversies. [SPEAKER_06]: Rightfully. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, look, when Dr. Seuss started out, for example, when Dr. Seuss started out, we've got a cartoon there at the top for flit insect repellent, which, by the way, had DDT, not good. [SPEAKER_06]: But it was owned by standard oil. [SPEAKER_06]: And he went to work for them doing advertising work.

[SPEAKER_06]: If you look at that ad, you can see some of the characters look a little elephant kind of like, and he even signed it, Dr. Seuss. [SPEAKER_06]: So he was, he was doing that type of stuff. [SPEAKER_06]: He also happened to be a little bit racist, a little bit anti-Asian racist. [SPEAKER_07]: Early. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: And then he learned. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, among other things, he went through World War II. [SPEAKER_06]: He went to Japan.

[SPEAKER_06]: He served with African Americans and Asians and Hispanic people and went, oh, oh, he learned. [SPEAKER_06]: And in his later work, he was very much about diversity. [SPEAKER_06]: And yeah, he was, he was woke, which is a really good thing because, you know, [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, you don't want to be asleep right now. [SPEAKER_06]: Now this war going on. [SPEAKER_06]: Do not sleep during a long folks.

[SPEAKER_07]: Nope. [SPEAKER_06]: So I just, I love the whole, the whole history you did here of Dr. Seuss. [SPEAKER_07]: It's a really good physical, the musical. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, musical, musical is there, plenty of great kids books that helped kids learn, which is fantastic, and his state has even, there was some controversy here a few years ago because his first big book and to think that I saw it in mulberry street has some of these anti Asian anti black

[SPEAKER_06]: slurres, racial elements, that kind of thing, and so they said that there no one or two enterprises announced in 2021 that they are no longer going to publish or license six of his books because you can still find them obviously in a library, and we love libraries, and so your doctor seems. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes. [SPEAKER_07]: Now he overcame his racism. [SPEAKER_06]: I think that's a lesson that another lesson.

[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know that he ever actually planned on teaching anybody that lesson. [SPEAKER_06]: But I think it's a very good lesson. [SPEAKER_06]: You can change. [SPEAKER_06]: If you happen to be a maggot who you were like, I believe the Donald Trump really didn't want to do any wars. [SPEAKER_06]: And now I'm finding that, you know, he started this, this mini war in Venezuela. [SPEAKER_06]: And now he's starting with Warren Middle East. [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm, look, you can change.

[SPEAKER_06]: If Dr. Sue's changed, it's okay. [SPEAKER_06]: And he was, [SPEAKER_06]: really not good at one point what he was younger yeah he was not exactly great but obviously he became just fantastic you remember that that cartoon where they had the belly buttons and then they didn't and it was about racism [SPEAKER_06]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, he did a lot of stuff against racism against his stuff.

[SPEAKER_06]: Look, if you guys missed, you should just go and read the history today in today's drink of the day. [SPEAKER_06]: You'll love this one. [SPEAKER_06]: Also, I think they like the drink of the day as well. [SPEAKER_06]: The start of the high ball. [SPEAKER_06]: It's a good one. [SPEAKER_06]: It's a good one. [SPEAKER_06]: It there's well, how do you make it, Joe? [SPEAKER_07]: Okay, you need a shaker. [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. [SPEAKER_07]: A shock glass, a strainer, a muddler.

[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you for reminding me about that. [SPEAKER_07]: No worries. [SPEAKER_07]: Highball glass, a little bit of ice, okay. [SPEAKER_07]: And pims, I've had pims. [SPEAKER_06]: You've had pims. [SPEAKER_07]: I have. [SPEAKER_07]: I've had my English friends bring pims over to my house. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, it is imported, British gin-based liquor, dark golden brown, herbal citrus infused, and 25% ABV. [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, so it's 12% alcohol.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, that's some strong-ass stuff. [SPEAKER_07]: It's not, but it's yummy. [SPEAKER_06]: I've had it. [SPEAKER_06]: Any what, uh, ounce and a half of pimp? [SPEAKER_07]: ounce and a half of pimp? [SPEAKER_07]: Three cars of an ounce of regular gin. [SPEAKER_06]: No, not dry gin, regular gin. [SPEAKER_06]: You like a semilegin or adiation gin. [SPEAKER_06]: Those are not exactly dry a little bit more herbal, little bit, uh, juice, ached with their herb.

[SPEAKER_06]: Because it has an effing aching it. [SPEAKER_07]: We say it herbal in these United States. [SPEAKER_07]: Englishman herbal is English. [SPEAKER_06]: What else do we need besides the three quarter outs breakers? [SPEAKER_07]: So we need three quarters of an ounce of simple syrup. [SPEAKER_07]: A half ounce of fresh lemon juice, always fresh ginger bea, mint. [SPEAKER_06]: What I'm your favorite ginger bea is doesn't matter. [SPEAKER_07]: Mint and mint sprig as your garnish.

[SPEAKER_06]: Excellent. [SPEAKER_07]: So you put about six mint leaves. [SPEAKER_07]: And the simple syrup in your shaker. [SPEAKER_07]: Got it. [SPEAKER_07]: Muddled them. [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. [SPEAKER_06]: That and the syrup cool. [SPEAKER_07]: And then add the other ingredients, not the ice yet. [SPEAKER_07]: You dry shakem. [SPEAKER_07]: which looks like that and it's wrong. [SPEAKER_07]: And then you train to Hypal glass over ice and you'll top of the ginger beer.

[SPEAKER_07]: Now I'm English. [SPEAKER_07]: And now you're gently stir. [SPEAKER_06]: Blame the effing age. [SPEAKER_06]: Hubble. [SPEAKER_06]: Hubble. [SPEAKER_06]: Hubble. [SPEAKER_07]: He's so English. [SPEAKER_07]: But then you garnish with the men's sprig and it's yummy. [SPEAKER_06]: It is great. [SPEAKER_06]: You should drink up enjoy the drink and remember give yourself room to grow because who knows where life will take you. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, the places you'll go.

[SPEAKER_06]: You guys can understand what's going on. [SPEAKER_06]: And we realized we talked about this last hour that some people still think that Donnie did this war because, oh yeah, he's trying to distract from the, I said this last hour. [SPEAKER_06]: I'll say this again. [SPEAKER_06]: How is killing 150 underage girls? [SPEAKER_06]: One of the first things you do in this brand-new shiny war? [SPEAKER_06]: How does that distract from the discussion about you and your friend Jeff?

[SPEAKER_06]: sexually assaulting an underage girl? [SPEAKER_06]: How is that a distraction? [SPEAKER_07]: I'm not... [SPEAKER_07]: He's still trying to wag that darn dog. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, I mean, I get that some of the people in his administration. [SPEAKER_06]: But again, these are people who can't count their eyeballs and get the same number twice. [SPEAKER_06]: These people are so dumb. [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, they run into a brick wall in the walls as out.

[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, these people are not exactly genius. [SPEAKER_06]: You're a point. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: Good point. [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm just saying they totally missed the idea. [SPEAKER_06]: I got it. [SPEAKER_06]: I got it. [SPEAKER_06]: Here's an idea.

[SPEAKER_06]: Even if they had it and we know that the CIA was was looking at Iran and was looking at all of this and they were talking to BB and they were talking to the Saudis for months, even years ahead of time on this. [SPEAKER_06]: But I'm sure when they got down to pull in the trigger, there were some folks like Stephen Miller who were like, oh yeah, that's a good idea. [SPEAKER_06]: I got it. [SPEAKER_06]: Let's let's go shoot up a school and kill a much of school girls.

[SPEAKER_06]: I don't distract them from thinking about Donald raping a 13 year [SPEAKER_06]: Steven Miller, not exactly the brightest bulb in the box. [SPEAKER_06]: No. [SPEAKER_06]: So anyway, but there is still stuff going on with the Trump steam files. [SPEAKER_06]: New stories out today. [SPEAKER_06]: We have them in the second round of the news on tap. [SPEAKER_06]: latest release files show that Jeffrey Epstein used major dating apps after his sex offender status.

[SPEAKER_06]: You know, the apps that they're supposed to disallow you from doing that. [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know them because I've never been on them. [SPEAKER_06]: Right. [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you and Lonnie have been together for a very long time. [SPEAKER_07]: Twenty six years all of a sudden. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, you know, he just walked by you and just kind of, you know, smiled at you and said the politics box. [SPEAKER_06]: That's all he ever says. [SPEAKER_06]: That's a bar here exactly.

[SPEAKER_06]: So, you know, that's understandable. [SPEAKER_06]: You see, it's getting very good at that. [SPEAKER_06]: Um, yeah, for those of you don't know on the dating apps, um, if you are convicted of the sex crime, they don't allow you on those. [SPEAKER_06]: But they allowed Jeffrey. [SPEAKER_06]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, worse than that though. [SPEAKER_06]: Uh, there is another story.

[SPEAKER_06]: This one I believe, uh, from the New York Times, uh, Latest file show a small stable of elite doctors served Jeffrey Epstein while treating his quote unquote girls. [SPEAKER_06]: That is against professional rules of ethics. [SPEAKER_06]: You can lose your your medical [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, we have a gift link, so if you're not subscribed to the New York Times, don't worry, you guys can go and check that out. [SPEAKER_06]: The story is there in the news on tap.

[SPEAKER_06]: Epstein's New Mexico Ranch by the way, the Trump regime asked the state of New Mexico. [SPEAKER_06]: They said, would you guys please stop investigating that in 2019? [SPEAKER_07]: They did that. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and the state of New Mexico went. [SPEAKER_06]: Nope. [SPEAKER_06]: So, yeah, I'm really glad that they basically told him to take it.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, because I'm like, you know, I'm sorry, but and and that that's that ranches get some serious scrutiny now, um, So the question. [SPEAKER_06]: The question is too late. [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know. [SPEAKER_06]: We have a story. [SPEAKER_06]: You guys can read that as well. [SPEAKER_06]: And also another gift link.

[SPEAKER_06]: We try to stick gift links in, by the way, for almost everything some things you can't, but we try to make about, I would say about 80, 90 percent, I think, do things that are about right. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: Of the stories that we put in the news on tab, we try to make them freely available for you pull them out from behind paywalls and give gift links and find gift links. [SPEAKER_06]: So that way you guys can actually read and get informed.

[SPEAKER_06]: No, and sometimes the best thing you can do, when you're subscribed to the news on tap, which you can do for free, by the way, you just scroll through it, take two minutes, scroll through read the headlines, which we will rewrite so that they're accurate, and that way you're able to go, oh, okay, so that you know what the hell's going on. [SPEAKER_06]: We realize a mainstream news media is not exactly, they just want your attention, we would rather that you're informed.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yes. [SPEAKER_06]: So that way when you come into the bar and you start to discussion with one of your friends on Blue Sky or Twitter, Threads or whatever that you don't look like an idiot. [SPEAKER_06]: By the way, Skana, once again, him and Darrell hanging over here in the Blue Sky corner, stop throwing peanuts together, guys. [SPEAKER_06]: Skana says, he says, Donald bombed a ran to distract us from the Epstein files.

[SPEAKER_06]: The problem is that he bombed a school full of girls, and back to the Epstein files. [SPEAKER_06]: We go. [SPEAKER_06]: Which I'm glad you were listening in our ones. [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_06]: We appreciate that. [SPEAKER_06]: It's good. [SPEAKER_06]: It's good that the people in the bar actually listen to us. [SPEAKER_06]: Darrell, by the way, he had a whole thread. [SPEAKER_06]: He was really pissed over on Blue Sky over the weekend.

[SPEAKER_06]: And he says, look, he had a thread about why we in the U.S. are so divided regarding race and criminality, fascism and racism, and he says, how are we not actually doing something about Trump and Republicans, racism and criminality? [SPEAKER_06]: The day is sitting here and saying, well, you know, what are we going to do? [SPEAKER_06]: Both parties are the same. [SPEAKER_06]: Those days are over. [SPEAKER_06]: There are continues.

[SPEAKER_06]: He says, if you're a Democrat and you're not running on accountability and affordability, you hold no currency with me and you damn sure hold no currency with those of us who no longer abide tyranny. [SPEAKER_06]: We are currently under the ruthless umbrella of fascism and racism. [SPEAKER_06]: It is time to take a stand. [SPEAKER_06]: Amen. [SPEAKER_06]: Let's go, Darrell. [SPEAKER_06]: There was worked up this weekend. [SPEAKER_09]: And I'm with him.

[SPEAKER_06]: So Pete, he used to be a Republican. [SPEAKER_06]: He used to be a Republican. [SPEAKER_06]: And I mean, he's pissed. [SPEAKER_06]: He's pissed kind of like, kind of like Marge, kind of, understandably. [SPEAKER_06]: So Pete Kagbreath, getting some face time over the last few days. [SPEAKER_06]: He has basically been trying to play things down. [SPEAKER_06]: I want to play you a couple of cuts back to back here. [SPEAKER_06]: This one from a couple of months back December 6th here.

[SPEAKER_06]: Let me drop this one in the DVR. [SPEAKER_02]: The war department will not be distracted by democracy building, interventionism, undefined wars, regime change, climate change, woke, moralizing, and fetish nation building. [SPEAKER_06]: Really? [SPEAKER_06]: Really Pete. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, this is, this was Cagbrett this morning. [SPEAKER_02]: This is not a so-called regime change, but the regime sure did change. [SPEAKER_01]: No, didn't. [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, didn't.

[SPEAKER_06]: It's going to get worse. [SPEAKER_06]: The, the regime. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, God, yes. [SPEAKER_06]: So back up to the first segment, because among other things, it dominates today. [SPEAKER_06]: The news on the war does dominate. [SPEAKER_06]: And that is most of the first round. [SPEAKER_06]: Another stupid Republican war. [SPEAKER_06]: that if we got rid of the Iatola, the chances were extremely good that the IRGC, the Iran Revolutionary Guard, would replace him with someone worse.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and in fact, actually, this is one of these weird things.

[SPEAKER_06]: Since they've been a jerk in their corner of the world for about 50 years, [SPEAKER_06]: that they had multiple levels of replacement already set up by Saturday afternoon they already had a separate ruling council and they have their their council of experts of course whatever already ready to choose a new supreme leader they're ready for this they've been ready for a very long time since comany died exactly [SPEAKER_07]: I remember him. [SPEAKER_06]: I remember him.

[SPEAKER_06]: I remember him exactly. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I do. [SPEAKER_06]: It's one of his weird things. [SPEAKER_06]: You know, when you've been alive long enough, you paid attention to the news. [SPEAKER_06]: Comedy? [SPEAKER_07]: Co-many. [SPEAKER_06]: Yep. [SPEAKER_06]: Here's the thing. [SPEAKER_06]: In Venezuela, we said it was going to be a regime change. [SPEAKER_06]: Did the regime change? [SPEAKER_06]: No. [SPEAKER_06]: Joe is correct.

[SPEAKER_06]: And Iran, we got rid of the one, oh God. [SPEAKER_06]: And then all the other dumbass thing they did over the weekend. [SPEAKER_06]: I know you saw this because we send this right. [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if you guys here in the boss are this. [SPEAKER_06]: We have an article that is in the news on tap. [SPEAKER_06]: Donald Trump and his administration had identified candidates to possibly take over from the Supreme Leader.

[SPEAKER_06]: But then they killed him in the initial U.S. Israeli strikes. [SPEAKER_06]: He's giving me the are you kidding me? [SPEAKER_06]: Are you kidding me? [SPEAKER_06]: Are you serious Lee? [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah That guy that guy and that guy could take over oops Whoopsie sorry, oh well we over wait we took the shot out. [SPEAKER_07]: I I seem to forget [SPEAKER_06]: No, no, you remember, but they seem to forget.

[SPEAKER_07]: We took him out and now his son or grandson might be who he replaced. [SPEAKER_06]: There's all kinds of discussion going on. [SPEAKER_06]: We have some informed commentary in the war. [SPEAKER_06]: Folks like Jennifer Rubin, Tom Nichols, and Apple Mom, Robert Pape, even Adam Parkmento and Sam Youngman who said zero Democrats should be supporting Trump's new war. [SPEAKER_06]: Let Trump fight his own damn to war. [SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely.

[SPEAKER_06]: I have been a little disappointed a few of these Democrats who are like, well, you know, Man, he was bad. [SPEAKER_06]: We know he was bad. [SPEAKER_06]: He was awesome. [SPEAKER_06]: That doesn't mean that, that, hey, I got an idea. [SPEAKER_06]: Let's start a war. [SPEAKER_06]: No, we have got many was bad. [SPEAKER_07]: So it's called many. [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, yes. [SPEAKER_06]: Both bad.

[SPEAKER_06]: But. [SPEAKER_06]: we don't have an exit plan no you don't have an exit plan you don't get into a word no it's like one of the laws of war that's thousands of years old you don't have an exit plan you don't get into the war jodius is she's just being the air right now face

[SPEAKER_06]: she's mad and understandably so and if you guys are pissed at this stupid new illegal Republican war congratulations so are we so just important to remember this is a stupid war it's illegal war and it was brought to you by the Republican party oh the peace president yeah [SPEAKER_06]: He's born a piece all right he's bored of it. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, done with it. [SPEAKER_06]: He is all right So Brooklyn that is very Dr. Sips of you. [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.

[SPEAKER_06]: how you doing run obviously you are not at the airport this time which is is fantastic we we prefer not you know I mean you know you can you know pick us up from the corner of the airport bar we got a problem with that but it's just that that corner is a little bit loud sometimes you know jet engines and what have you so [SPEAKER_03]: I am warm and toasty and indoors as I like it.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yes. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, yeah, considering that the all throughout the Northeastern right now, there's a little bit of here and in the DC corner of the Bart earlier today, it was a little bit like going through a Republican event, you know, there's a lot of white flakes around. [SPEAKER_06]: It is a lot of cold too for that matter, so but it's supposed to be like 70. [SPEAKER_06]: Here, Jody says she's shipping the heat here. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm trying. [SPEAKER_06]: FedEx kids.

[SPEAKER_07]: You are so trying. [SPEAKER_06]: Hey, look, however you get to eat in the box, I'm fine with that. [SPEAKER_06]: That's nice. [SPEAKER_03]: I would love to be able to go back to D.C. Like, and like take the fam and explore, like go to the Lincoln Memorial. [SPEAKER_03]: Let's still call that, you know, before they change it to the Trump Memorial. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh my God, that whole thing. [SPEAKER_06]: I didn't even, we didn't even have room to get that in.

[SPEAKER_06]: The Trump Kennedy, they're going to change it or he's going to try to change it to the Trump Kennedy honors. [SPEAKER_06]: And then he wants to put it in a smaller venue. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, why? [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, because nobody showed up. [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: And nobody watched it last year. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, by the way, the state of union, BDD, and you were there, you were in Congress, you were at the Capitol.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yes. [SPEAKER_06]: So you were not hanging out with Joe Joe and Robert DeNiro and some of the folks at the National Press Club. [SPEAKER_03]: But this Joe Joe is with the cool kids. [SPEAKER_07]: The way she was not with you, so she was with one cool kid who was not there. [SPEAKER_06]: Sure. [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_06]: But the state of union this time, 4.8 million, I believe, fewer viewers than last year.

[SPEAKER_06]: And also, I believe he was about six or eight million fewer than Joe Biden's second. [SPEAKER_03]: I love it. [SPEAKER_03]: I did too. [SPEAKER_03]: I did too. [SPEAKER_03]: I did too. [SPEAKER_03]: It looked good. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Social accomplished. [SPEAKER_03]: Mission accomplished. [SPEAKER_03]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: That was part of the reason I was down there to provide alternate programming.

[SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: To Trump's state of the union. [SPEAKER_03]: And what was nice about it was that. [SPEAKER_03]: There were members of Congress who came to, we were in the basement, by the way, of the capital building. [SPEAKER_03]: It was like a, a labyrinthian kind of thing, like, oh, it's like twists and turns and then some. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I think it lost really easy.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but they brought guests with them to my, to the interview with me. [SPEAKER_03]: Nice. [SPEAKER_03]: Nice. [SPEAKER_03]: So that was different from watching it on TV, because you, sure they, the members of Congress were bringing their guests, but you didn't actually get to hear what the guests had to say. [SPEAKER_03]: And so on TV. [SPEAKER_06]: And yet they did on interviews with you and some of the other folks that were there. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, nice.

[SPEAKER_03]: That was a nice little change, you know, because I've watched, I don't know, you know, so many state-state-of-the-unions never got to hear what the guests had to say. [SPEAKER_07]: Nice. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm glad that this was, I mean, there was so much alternate programming going on. [SPEAKER_06]: The Lincoln Project folks, the Lincoln Square folks, they had, they did like an MST3K kind of a thing. [SPEAKER_06]: John Fuckel's I think did a similar over on Serious XM.

[SPEAKER_06]: Terrible. [SPEAKER_06]: Yep. [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_06]: I was going to mention that. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: And then you had Cliff Shector and JoJo and some of those folks were over at the National Press Club and they did that event over there with Miles. [SPEAKER_06]: And then you had Joy and you had Katie Fang out of the National Mall doing event there with some of the other kind. [SPEAKER_06]: There were so many other things.

[SPEAKER_06]: talking to each other about what we believe the state of the union is as opposed to listening to Donald's lies and then the Democrats who were there obviously since you were there at the Capitol and you watched it, what was the atmosphere of for those Democrats because they weren't just sitting there quietly, they were giving him some what for.

[SPEAKER_03]: you know I honestly was not watching like I went I was on a marathon live stream I was I think five and a half hours I had gone nonstop except with the exception of a 30 minute break to eat for that hold I was [SPEAKER_03]: I was interviewing for that entire time from like five, five, thirty until tenish until just after eleven. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Like nine. [SPEAKER_03]: I was still talking during the Democrats' rebuttal. [SPEAKER_03]: Which I did catch that.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was brilliant. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: She did a great job. [SPEAKER_03]: She did her thing. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, and this is Joe to you and I talked about this last week too. [SPEAKER_06]: They did it the right way. [SPEAKER_06]: They produced it. [SPEAKER_07]: They produced it. [SPEAKER_07]: It was a television show. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, it was they had the right setting. [SPEAKER_06]: They had an audience.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yep. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: And and she's very smart and her her dress, the Democratic message was great. [SPEAKER_06]: And we didn't expect her to respond and yet she did. [SPEAKER_06]: She pulled a couple of things out of it. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, just a little bit.

[SPEAKER_06]: So it's [SPEAKER_03]: What I thought was fantastic about what she said that my favorite part of her, like, it's my favorite, to the point where I can remember it actually what what she'd said she said, the question you have to ask is what has Donald Trump done for you?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yep, you know, and that in my opinion, he's enough when it comes time for voters to make their decision in November that's the question that they've got to ask that's that's going to be the critical decision has he added benefit has he benefited your life has he made things easier for as he made things harder.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, have as he stressed you out, you know, and so I think that's going to be an easy question for most voters to answer and I mean even even Magga Yeah, Magga. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, that's that's that's something that we've been talking about obviously with the big story of the day Donald's fresh new illegal war just as illegal as the war that W did just as it will anyway, but

[SPEAKER_06]: So one of the things W didn't W like ask Try W in the dick went to Congress and they basically said look We're gonna try to sell you on this and not everybody in Congress was sold, but some of them did they they tried to get some buy in from Congress Donald couldn't care less

[SPEAKER_06]: He comes out at 2 a.m. on his truth toilet with a stupid video and just says this is a war just declares openly even though he does not have the power to do so the war which makes it illegal among other things but also a lot of these maggots.

[SPEAKER_06]: And especially the Marjora Taylor Green made this big deal as she was heading towards the exits from Congress about how there's maga and there's America first, which the rest of us are like, that's a distinction with that a difference, but right, but [SPEAKER_06]: to her and to some amaga in there is a difference. [SPEAKER_06]: And for them, especially those people who are like her like Tucker Carlson they're their big thing.

[SPEAKER_06]: One of their big things was the fact of Republicans have been engaging in these endless wars over and over and over and over and they said Donald said no new wars. [SPEAKER_06]: He did. [SPEAKER_06]: Donald Trump has engaged in more. [SPEAKER_06]: He has bombed more countries than any president since. [SPEAKER_06]: What is it? [SPEAKER_06]: World War II? [SPEAKER_07]: So Eisenhower? [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah, yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: Wow. [SPEAKER_06]: FDR.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: He's bombed more unique countries. [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you know, we bomb the hell out of like, you know, Vietnam. [SPEAKER_06]: We bomb the living smack out of that in some in louse, but yeah, no, no, no, don't just diversified the American bombing. [SPEAKER_06]: Bill and South America, some in the Middle East in Africa, you know, yeah, you know, bomb the hell out of everybody. [SPEAKER_06]: That's how countries, right?

[SPEAKER_06]: Well, look, look, not only that, but you got to remember who's in charge of the Pentagon right now, and he is fantastic at getting bombed. [SPEAKER_07]: You don't have to get bombed. [SPEAKER_07]: You're right. [SPEAKER_07]: You are correct, sir. [SPEAKER_06]: Your nickname is Kegreth. [SPEAKER_06]: You said so. [SPEAKER_06]: If there's anybody who's good at getting bombed, P. Kegreth is the man. [SPEAKER_03]: But I left too hard at that. [SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm a dad.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I love the dad jokes. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, you know, we say we aim to please and you're a silver dad. [SPEAKER_07]: So that's the whole good thing. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, you know, but but I mean and there was look there. [SPEAKER_06]: There's a recent Magger pissed about this stuff. [SPEAKER_06]: There were they were even engaging in the hashtag of the weekend. [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if you saw this in multiple social platforms. [SPEAKER_06]: Hashtag send Baron.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: What? [SPEAKER_06]: They jumped in on that too. [SPEAKER_07]: So everybody has jumped in. [SPEAKER_07]: Is he gonna go? [SPEAKER_07]: Because if we're gonna [SPEAKER_06]: because they're pissed because one of the key reasons that they chained their wagon to Donald Trump was that he promised no new wars. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, well, all he knows how to do is make promises and break them.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yep. [SPEAKER_03]: 100%. [SPEAKER_03]: He promised everything delivered nothing. [SPEAKER_03]: Yep. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I I still like the joke that everybody else has been talking about with his his alternate to the U.N. His board of peace and now he's board of peace.

[SPEAKER_03]: And he is he he's I mean what on jackass oh wait did you guys see his his speech this this this morning at the was it the metal oh got the metal on earth [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, one part where he said the word board at least 10 times in a 60 seconds in a span of seconds. [SPEAKER_06]: It's like he got stuck on it. [SPEAKER_06]: It's like you know there's a lecture something. [SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's like his max headroom, pledge, pledge, pledge, board, board, board.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he was, the thing is he was so, so low energy. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like I think he didn't have to do that. [SPEAKER_03]: I watched it. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Had a role. [SPEAKER_06]: Here's the thing that bothers me, though. [SPEAKER_06]: This, and this is a professional thing. [SPEAKER_06]: This is going to come from media thing.

[SPEAKER_06]: This is the same crap-ass thing that they did with the Warren Iraq and the Warren Afghanistan and and and that the modern media has done. [SPEAKER_06]: is that you went to every channel that's out there, even the BBC. [SPEAKER_06]: And they just went, oh, well, all there's you have to Donald doing this because he might blow up, but if I do something stupid. [SPEAKER_06]: So they all just took him live. [SPEAKER_06]: That is the laziest, laziest production.

[SPEAKER_06]: Because they're like, well, he's speaking. [SPEAKER_06]: And he might do something stupid. [SPEAKER_06]: He might tell himself on fire and run across the room. [SPEAKER_06]: Or, you know, he might poop his pants. [SPEAKER_06]: We don't know. [SPEAKER_06]: for God's sake. [SPEAKER_06]: You are professionals. [SPEAKER_06]: You are national and international news professionals. [SPEAKER_06]: This is not how you do your job. [SPEAKER_06]: I don't just put it on.

[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, well, you know, he's there. [SPEAKER_06]: Let's go get a break. [SPEAKER_06]: Let's go to McDonald. [SPEAKER_07]: You remember that they just [SPEAKER_07]: showed a black turn. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, for hours before you would show up. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: I remember that. [SPEAKER_03]: It's not like it's up. [SPEAKER_06]: And that was lazy as hell back in 2016 and it was lazy as hell in 2020. [SPEAKER_06]: And and this is lazy as hell today.

[SPEAKER_06]: They're job. [SPEAKER_06]: Whether and I know I know John Fugo saying has told us before that the difference between journalists and the media is that journalists [SPEAKER_06]: It's one of the reason we like to make sure that people are in form this. [SPEAKER_06]: Why we do the news on tap? [SPEAKER_06]: Why we provide it free for you guys at the politicsbar.com.

[SPEAKER_06]: That's why we bring in great guests like BDD and Malcolm Ants tomorrow to talk about all of these things, but we care that you guys are in form that you have facts. [SPEAKER_06]: The mainstream quote-unquote news and some of them that are more news, media, a lot of them care more about attention. [SPEAKER_06]: Get attention. [SPEAKER_06]: Get attention. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_06]: I've said this before.

[SPEAKER_06]: I've said that that Rupert would set his grandchildren on fire and have them run up an industry and film it if it got the attention. [SPEAKER_06]: He would not care because he wants the numbers, which is absolutely sick, but that's the kind of thing that those people do. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: They also do the thing of we'll just turn the cameras on and let him go. [SPEAKER_06]: But now we're going to go, well, I'm going to make my phone or something.

[SPEAKER_06]: I'm like, what the hell is wrong with you people? [SPEAKER_03]: What I would love to see and I've been complaining about this. [SPEAKER_03]: I think since 2016 is like, [SPEAKER_03]: And literally, I remember like writing tweets about this when I didn't even know what the heck I was doing in 2016 and I was I would say you know what his lies are going to be it's not like he's coming up with new things to say and you preemptively [SPEAKER_03]: fact check him.

[SPEAKER_03]: You already know what he's gonna lie about. [SPEAKER_03]: So throw a fact check up on the screen. [SPEAKER_01]: So at least 20 20 was 20 20 was stolen. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's stolen with two else stolen. [SPEAKER_07]: Do you remember VH1 did the?

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, yes, that I've said for years they should be doing that pop it up along the side I know some of them on occasion have done that where they'll put it up along the side But I think they should do it every time they feature I love the fact that Lawrence over an MS now still He doesn't allow Trump to be on the screen.

[SPEAKER_06]: Nope without him being there [SPEAKER_06]: He'll divide it and it'll be like, you know, he'll be looking over and I'm like, okay, Jack asks, what are you going to say now? [SPEAKER_06]: And then he'll wait for Donaldal to finish and then Donald finishes and you can almost, he never plays the cut, but you almost can tell the look on Lawrence's face where he just wants to go,

[SPEAKER_06]: And you're like, yes, yes, so that's how that's how this jackass should be covered absolutely not we're just going to lock the camera off and go out and get a cup of coffee and come back in 20 minutes he's still going to be hammering away so we ain't got no worries on that and I'm like that is the laziest asked.

[SPEAKER_06]: I, yes, I'm sorry that's just a little professional thing for me just pisses me off because I'm like at the very least for God's sake, do the pop-up thing like you said, Jodie, put the facts up there at the very freaking least. [SPEAKER_06]: That's your job. [SPEAKER_06]: You are news stations after all. [SPEAKER_07]: Poor General Dale though. [SPEAKER_06]: That man run ragged last week. [SPEAKER_06]: Got a lesson. [SPEAKER_06]: Yep. [SPEAKER_06]: There you go.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's it's about gay hockey players and it is. [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, it's it's quite graphic as far as that goes, but a lot of people like the show, which is cool. [SPEAKER_06]: Nothing wrong with that. [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you know, he's handsome guy. [SPEAKER_07]: He's very good looking. [SPEAKER_07]: Are you kidding me? [SPEAKER_07]: I'm a lady person. [SPEAKER_07]: He's very. [SPEAKER_06]: There you go.

[SPEAKER_06]: I saw the opening monologue, which he was really good in the monologue and did the whole thing with the women's hockey team and the men's hockey team and they got over on the guys and I love that. [SPEAKER_06]: But you're saying he did the whole thing. [SPEAKER_06]: The two of you between the between the three of us, I think we all ended up seeing different parts of it. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: great comedic timing.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, this get like the gentleman's code where like, I don't know if you remember the old days of people when someone got offended, they would take off a white glove and slap someone across the face.

[SPEAKER_03]: Right, because you said, [SPEAKER_07]: people all like all different kinds of people were getting slapped during this kid was very funny watch him just as a stripper I guess where he got into a car wreck prior to the sketch starting oh yeah so he's hired and he's all bloody and he was so funny and memorized his entire lines not the ladies [SPEAKER_06]: And this gets he memorized when you're when you're doing improv. [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, that's it's not improv.

[SPEAKER_07]: This is sketch comedy. [SPEAKER_07]: He hasn't memorized lines. [SPEAKER_06]: Right. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, but I mean, and they do throw in sometimes some improv, but that's the whole thing is that you need to you need to know everything the bones really well. [SPEAKER_06]: Obviously, they have great cue cards and stuff on it. [SPEAKER_06]: Of course they do the sides.

[SPEAKER_06]: And you know, a lot of those people they do they memorize their lines and they know how to play off it and stuff too. [SPEAKER_06]: But clearly Uh, what did you say that the Lorraine Newman had some sort of, she said that he should be a player on the show. [SPEAKER_06]: Nice. [SPEAKER_07]: And she knows. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, she's like, she should be a regular on the show because he was that good. [SPEAKER_07]: And I watched one sketch and I was like, she is not wrong.

[SPEAKER_03]: She was, she was, she was, she was fine.

[SPEAKER_03]: She was, she was, she was, she was, she was trending because, uh, somebody posted a picture of, do you remember the sketch where she's got the, uh, the curtain rise? [SPEAKER_03]: Of course. [SPEAKER_07]: Of course. [SPEAKER_07]: Went with the wins, guys. [SPEAKER_03]: That was the, the gone with the wind. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, so somebody asked who was the designer of this out there. [SPEAKER_07]: That'll be Mr. Mackie. [SPEAKER_03]: Bob Mackie.

[SPEAKER_07]: But, oh no kidding. [SPEAKER_07]: Uh-huh. [SPEAKER_07]: Bob did design the outfit, but it was written in the sketch. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: So it was written first and then he designed it. [SPEAKER_07]: And the person that wrote it is name is Rick Hawkins. [SPEAKER_07]: And he went to my dad back then. [SPEAKER_07]: And he said, I would like to write a gone with wind sketch. [SPEAKER_07]: And Dad's like, we've all, we did it in season three.

[SPEAKER_07]: And he was like, no, no. [SPEAKER_07]: My thesis was on the book. [SPEAKER_07]: Let me write the sketch. [SPEAKER_06]: I have read and heard that story before. [SPEAKER_06]: And I freaking love it every time. [SPEAKER_06]: Because yeah, it was. [SPEAKER_07]: And Mr. Hawkins wrote the sketches a half an hour long sketch, brilliantly written by Mr. Rick Hawkins and Mr. Mackie. [SPEAKER_07]: Honored him doing the right thing.

[SPEAKER_06]: If my mom produced by your dad, he held a hell of a great freaking bitch. [SPEAKER_06]: A half an hour long sketch. [SPEAKER_03]: I love that you have all the details on these things, like the behind the scenes. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Was that your favorite sketch? [SPEAKER_03]: Your favorite sketch of your mom? [SPEAKER_07]: One of them for sure. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I do like when they hit with the pointer sisters of a mom and Tim Conway did a whole Cinderella thing.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: And Conway played out John. [SPEAKER_03]: I think I've seen that. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, God. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh my God. [SPEAKER_07]: It's oh my God. [SPEAKER_07]: It's brilliant. [SPEAKER_07]: It's the point of sisters and my mom and they're like, it's she's Cinderella. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm trying to think you're you because I've seen these sketches and some people borrow them, but I think your your mom's company has a YouTube channel and I think they do.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, their chef factory, there's all sorts of stuff, but no, I mean, the Cinderella [SPEAKER_07]: Cinderella and it was very funny and the pointer sisters were the evil sisters. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes. [SPEAKER_07]: Who like I met several times after I was an adult so it was lovely to and when Anita passed it was very sad because I'm friends with her granddaughter so it was very sad.

[SPEAKER_06]: So you know, look it's it's one of it's one of the blessings that that you have obviously because you folks but also just because of of the people that they know and because of the [SPEAKER_06]: It's a fantastic, you know, it's one of the fun things that we have here at the bar, which is great. [SPEAKER_06]: One of the other things, obviously, you being in the entertainment, you were hit in Jody to a couple of movies that you watched. [SPEAKER_06]: I know. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: So the first one was Priyanka Chopra and Carl Urban in a movie called The Bluff. [SPEAKER_03]: in which Priyanka Chopra wait what's up Priyanka Chopra Jonas yes thank you you know Chopra Jonas plays like a badass pirate she's a badass like like you don't want to badass you don't general I mean she's you know

[SPEAKER_03]: walks by and sets a she's amazing she's she's hot she's smart she's a really good actress she's she's talented she's fun and and she makes quick work of many many bad guys in this movie at a girl that yeah that could be one of the dark walls that be fun what was the other flick that you watched the other one that was really really fascinating is called in the [SPEAKER_03]: I guess that you could technically call it a science fiction. [SPEAKER_03]: It's just fascinating.

[SPEAKER_03]: It follows like three different families in the span of like a millennia like, you know, one, the one 10 years or something. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like Neanderthal family. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: And there's there's no English. [SPEAKER_03]: There's just no dialogue for them, but you can tell what is going on. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: And the present day is Rashida Jones, who plays an archeologist. [SPEAKER_03]: Love her.

[SPEAKER_03]: Studying the bones of that Nehendethal family. [SPEAKER_03]: And then Kate McKinnon, formerly of Saturday Night Live, is she is an altered human. [SPEAKER_03]: And that's, I don't want to spoil it for you, but I will say she's in, where did you, where did you see these, um, do you remember what platform? [SPEAKER_03]: I think it was, I believe it was Hulu and she's basically carrying the future of humanity to a brand new planet.

[SPEAKER_03]: Cool. [SPEAKER_08]: Cool. [SPEAKER_03]: Those of you who know about space travel, know that you're not getting from this galaxy to the next galaxy in a short period of time. [SPEAKER_03]: Sure. [SPEAKER_03]: It takes even if you have faster than a light travel. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, I love, I love entertainment.

[SPEAKER_06]: I also though, you know, I stick with the news a lot of times because that happens to me. [SPEAKER_06]: I like it when news is entertaining though. [SPEAKER_06]: And the elections tomorrow are going to be extremely entertaining. [SPEAKER_06]: going to be we've got primaries tomorrow in three places around the U.S. obviously Texas duh Arkansas and North Carolina as well.

[SPEAKER_06]: If you are registered Democrat in any of those areas or exactly or if you have if there's a primary where you can vote Democratic and you're going to vote for the best person my all means vote. [SPEAKER_06]: We have some stories today in the third round more news to drink about in the election land section Texas Democrats. [SPEAKER_06]: It's been an epic Senate primary. [SPEAKER_06]: They are both fantastic candidates. [SPEAKER_06]: There.

[SPEAKER_06]: I'm glad I don't live in Texas for a lot of reasons. [SPEAKER_06]: One of which is it would be very hard to choose who to vote for. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: It would. [SPEAKER_06]: It's going to be fun. [SPEAKER_06]: It's going to be fun, though. [SPEAKER_06]: Of course, Texas Republicans are absolutely freaking the hell out. [SPEAKER_06]: I put out on Blue Sky, a post from Tom Bonier, who does a lot of election numbers and a lot of things like that.

[SPEAKER_06]: And he has this chart where he broke down the change. [SPEAKER_06]: both in age and in background, Hispanic voters, black voters, men versus women, et cetera, and age. [SPEAKER_06]: And you look at this chart and it is blatantly obvious how many voters in Texas have moved towards the Democrats. [SPEAKER_06]: And you can see why the Republicans are going. [SPEAKER_06]: They're just freaking out. [SPEAKER_07]: Impactants beating corn and right now.

[SPEAKER_03]: So that's what's within the margin error there, but yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: So that's what I want to ask you, Sean, is in your opinion, is Ken Paxton, if Ken Paxton gets the nomination, is he good for Republicans or bad for Republicans? [SPEAKER_07]: I think he's bad. [SPEAKER_06]: Jordi's right. [SPEAKER_06]: He is he is terrible for Republican. [SPEAKER_07]: I think so. [SPEAKER_07]: I think a lot of Republicans won't vote for him.

[SPEAKER_07]: They will vote for Tolerika or Crocodile. [SPEAKER_06]: Yep. [SPEAKER_06]: Yep. [SPEAKER_06]: Because of the fact that he is he is a criminal. [SPEAKER_06]: He is a flannel. [SPEAKER_06]: You've even got some of the votes you are. [SPEAKER_06]: So he's Donald Trump. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, but he doesn't have Donald's stuff. [SPEAKER_06]: No, he doesn't have Donald Trump's.

[SPEAKER_06]: He is, he's like Trump, and I don't think that Donald Trump has a whole lot of charisma, but some folks do. [SPEAKER_07]: Some folks, you can see it, Joe, he's 70 million people think so. [SPEAKER_06]: Right. [SPEAKER_06]: But, but, uh, Paxton is is Trump without the charisma. [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_06]: And with more baggage. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, he's like J.D. [SPEAKER_07]: Vance. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, but even less interesting. [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_06]: He's just an A-hole. [SPEAKER_06]: And Republicans are terrified. [SPEAKER_06]: Now, with the Republicans remember, in Texas, this is going to be one of those where they have three candidates going on right now. [SPEAKER_06]: And if none of them gets over 50%, they'll have to go to run off. [SPEAKER_06]: And the thing that Texas Republicans, they are hammering money. [SPEAKER_06]: because of this giant Senate primary with these three candidates they have.

[SPEAKER_06]: And then, of course, they have the guy who, you know, basically drove his former aide that he was cheating with to center self on fire, all in kill herself, Reptony Gonzalez. [SPEAKER_06]: And he will probably win his primary and then his ass will get beaten by a Democrat. [SPEAKER_06]: And that'll be yet another house seat that Republicans will lose. [SPEAKER_06]: So that's a bunch of this is going to be entertaining watching them roll in-screen.

[SPEAKER_03]: There were a bunch of Republicans like demanding that he that he was on step down, yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Bubba started it. [SPEAKER_07]: Uh-huh. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, she did. [SPEAKER_07]: Bubba. [SPEAKER_07]: Laura Bubba. [SPEAKER_03]: Really? [SPEAKER_06]: She started it. [SPEAKER_06]: She started it. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh. [SPEAKER_06]: That's what she does. [SPEAKER_06]: She does. [SPEAKER_06]: She's just saying this. [SPEAKER_06]: We all, anyway. [SPEAKER_07]: He's not a Democrat.

[SPEAKER_07]: She won't give him a hand. [SPEAKER_06]: Uh-huh. [SPEAKER_06]: Judd is right. [SPEAKER_06]: Look, Beatty. [SPEAKER_06]: We got what we want to talk with you about.
