[SPEAKER_04]: In fact, when Lonnie and I got married, and that a few weeks later, my friend Desmond threw a party that he threw, but it was also kind of our reception, he built a cake and at the top of the cake were the nightmare on Christmas couple. [SPEAKER_08]: Jack and Jack Skellington and I forget her name. [SPEAKER_08]: I do too because I just had a friend who's daughter dressed up as, and she was perfect.

[SPEAKER_08]: No. [SPEAKER_04]: Sally. [SPEAKER_04]: Sally. [SPEAKER_04]: That's Sally. [SPEAKER_04]: That's her name, Sally.

[SPEAKER_08]: And so yeah, when we went, Emily's my sister-in-law. [SPEAKER_04]: And we couldn't keep the top of the cake because we were leaving literally that night. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we, we, you know, people ate the cake. [SPEAKER_04]: Beautiful. [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it was stunning. [SPEAKER_08]: I'll find a picture that I had someone else like, like, a freezer for a year. [SPEAKER_04]: No. [SPEAKER_04]: But I did take the dolls. [SPEAKER_04]: They are on my piano.

[SPEAKER_04]: No, so need no. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Sally and Jack. [SPEAKER_04]: That's it. [SPEAKER_08]: Sally and Jack, which is great. [SPEAKER_08]: I should remember her name because Sally was my grandma's name. [SPEAKER_08]: So, well, Selma, whatever, but she went by Sally. [SPEAKER_08]: to some people, we had a completely different nickname for her as kids.

[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, you know, your kids, you have nicknames for things, you know, kids do, this is, this is a holiday where kids are on my mind because it's Halloween, man. [SPEAKER_08]: And, you know, Halloween is definitely for kids. [SPEAKER_08]: Absolutely.

[SPEAKER_08]: although although you know that there there there are some parts of this holiday fact some people don't even celebrate Halloween today some people celebrate a completely different holiday which we will talk about when we get to the drink of the day but some of you may already know about it because you're subscribed in the rest of you well

[SPEAKER_08]: you should subscribe it then you also would already be in the know it's that's kind of how you do things you subscribe we give you the information you're smarter then you can tell everybody else and then you know they're like where did you get it and then you tell them see this see this yeah bar gets bigger so [SPEAKER_08]: All right, Jody. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, it is Friday. [SPEAKER_08]: It is Halloween.

[SPEAKER_08]: And we are going to talk obviously about a few scary things today. [SPEAKER_08]: And as I mentioned it, not just talking about Steven Miller, but we are also talking about the scary thing of the shutdown and the snap benefits and the ACA. [SPEAKER_08]: And there was an update here, not too long before we got into the bar today.

[SPEAKER_08]: So if you have missed it, maybe you have, I don't know how to life, maybe you were working earlier today, maybe maybe you were out with the kids earlier, do it in trunk or treat or whatever the event is for the holiday. [SPEAKER_08]: But a federal judge in Boston ruled earlier today that the USDA's plan to not give out any snap aid, stop giving food assistance for 42 million people is in fact illegal. [SPEAKER_08]: and shocker.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, we all knew was. [SPEAKER_08]: So it's nice to actually see the legal system still working. [SPEAKER_08]: She gave the Trump administration till Monday to respond to her finding before she basically forces them to do it. [SPEAKER_08]: But she wasn't the only one.

[SPEAKER_08]: Then there was a judge in Rhode Island who said the same thing earlier today that defendants are statutorily mandated to use the previously appropriated snap contingency reserved law and necessary. [SPEAKER_08]: Basically now shut up and pay your bills, [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I mean, it's the law. [SPEAKER_08]: Chuddy's right, which duh, it is the law. [SPEAKER_08]: They have to actually pay this. [SPEAKER_08]: They have to use the funds that are there.

[SPEAKER_08]: That doesn't mean that the argument over whether tiny Johnson and the Republicans should get their asses back and could extend it further, or maybe just, I don't know, do their damn job. [SPEAKER_08]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_08]: Butts, butts, butts.

[SPEAKER_08]: Even though more than 42 million are going to lose access to food aid, literally tonight, if the Trump administration doesn't do their supposed to, that the judge is basically said the two of them also said that they can't that the executive branch cannot block [SPEAKER_08]: the snap machine. [SPEAKER_08]: You know, we talked about before how states if they have money, they basically want to pour it into to their accounts so that it can get dulled out.

[SPEAKER_08]: And the judge is like, no, no, no, you can't block that either. [SPEAKER_08]: You have to make the machine available to the states. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: Makes sense. [SPEAKER_08]: But anyway. [SPEAKER_08]: Here's the thing, though. [SPEAKER_08]: this shut down isn't going to get fixed anytime soon for a couple of reasons.

[SPEAKER_08]: One, the Senate, who at least they've been here, even if they've been doing performative crap, like Thune has this week. [SPEAKER_08]: They went home for the weekend already. [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, it's Friday night, duh, they're at home, but, but, but, Tony Johnson canceled the house again for the sixth week. [SPEAKER_04]: He's they're not coming [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, I think they're going to actually, it will, they will be forced back.

[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's, it's insane to me that, uh, during a government shutdown, the people that need the money, the least are still getting paid, which is the house in the Senate. [SPEAKER_08]: They're in the president. [SPEAKER_08]: Many of members of the House and the Senate who are deferring all of their payment, some of them, [SPEAKER_08]: are actually taking the payment that they're getting to pay their staff. [SPEAKER_08]: Good for them, because their staff's not getting paid.

[SPEAKER_08]: Right, exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: But some of them are taking the pay that they get and putting it into their staff accounts. [SPEAKER_08]: Good. [SPEAKER_08]: Which, okay, fine, whatever. [SPEAKER_08]: But the problem is tiny Johnson is still not doing his job. [SPEAKER_08]: He has effectively advocated his job and eliminated an entire branch of government or partial branch of government. [SPEAKER_08]: The House has been in regular session for 12.

[SPEAKER_08]: 12 of the last 100 days and they have been adjourned officially for full work for 88 days. [SPEAKER_08]: has been elected, been waiting to be put in, which could be, I could happen at any time. [SPEAKER_08]: They can do it. [SPEAKER_04]: There is Johnson's office today. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: So, Adelaide of Grahalva knows her stuff and she's and also Arizona AG Chris Mays is suing Tiny Johnson's for this.

[SPEAKER_08]: So, [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, they're also also, so on top of all of this, what we've talked about before, and I got it pisses me off that some of the people in the media don't get this. [SPEAKER_08]: I saw Jonathan Carl, I was mad because so they're talking about the nuclear option. [SPEAKER_08]: Now, that's not the scary crap that we were talking about earlier this week when Donnie, you know, we'll talk about Donnie's dumbassiveness with nukes from earlier this week.

[SPEAKER_08]: We'll talk about that later tonight. [SPEAKER_08]: But, you know, the nuclear option is a, it's a policy in the Senate that if you guys didn't know, basically that they would blow up the filibuster. [SPEAKER_08]: What, what, see, this is the movie kills me. [SPEAKER_08]: You've been saying this for five weeks now. [SPEAKER_04]: Something like that. [SPEAKER_04]: And now Donald Trump and I are in agreement, weirdly. [SPEAKER_08]: I guess that's a bell. [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, he's agreeing with you. [SPEAKER_08]: And I'm good with Donald Trump agreeing with Jody. [SPEAKER_08]: Because as we know, in general, Jody is right. [SPEAKER_08]: But Donald isn't even saying what some of these idiots in the media are saying. [SPEAKER_08]: They're immediately going to the nuclear option, blowing up the filibuster for all time. [SPEAKER_04]: Doesn't have to be that way, can just be this one bill.

[SPEAKER_08]: That's what Jody has said, to a marjorie Taylor. [SPEAKER_08]: Green has said, and it really sounds like that's what Donald Trump is implying. [SPEAKER_08]: It's also what a lot of other people have said over the last month. [SPEAKER_08]: John better meant to blow it up. [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: You don't have to blow it up forever. [SPEAKER_08]: You can blow it up for one bill. [SPEAKER_08]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_08]: That's it. [SPEAKER_04]: One bill.

[SPEAKER_04]: Because it's a rule. [SPEAKER_04]: It's not a law. [SPEAKER_04]: It's a rule. [SPEAKER_08]: exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: For those people who may not understand, do you can you can you can explain to them? [SPEAKER_04]: Well, I mean, if it were a lot, be different. [SPEAKER_04]: Like you blow up the filibusters gone forever, because of this statute, and you can name US code, whatever, whatever, whatever.

[SPEAKER_04]: And now this is is a Senate rule that can be changed at any point in time by the majority, by the majority, which is 51 votes only. [SPEAKER_04]: And Republicans have how many votes? [SPEAKER_04]: 53. [SPEAKER_08]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_08]: And this has changed the rule at any time. [SPEAKER_04]: At any time. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, one bill. [SPEAKER_08]: They can't change it for things like, um, like they did earlier this year with reconciliation.

[SPEAKER_08]: Reconciliation is a law that will rule. [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: So they can't change it for reconciliation. [SPEAKER_08]: but for a continuing resolution for a whole lot of bills that they could do for example if they just if they wanted to do what Democrats have suggested multiple times this week which is just a bill to fund snap and wick or just a bill to pay for the military [SPEAKER_08]: Those actually, that's just fine.

[SPEAKER_08]: They could do that at 51 votes as well in the Senate if they wanted to, which means all of the horrors that Americans are facing right now because of Congress not wanting to do its job, it's because Republicans. [SPEAKER_08]: don't want to do their job in progress. [SPEAKER_04]: And Mike, Tony Johnson literally said, if we allow snap benefits to go out, that our leverage goes.

[SPEAKER_04]: Basically saying, we're using hunger to force the Democrats to have everybody lose their healthcare. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, he admitted that we played that yesterday here on the DVR. [SPEAKER_08]: That is exactly correct, Jody. [SPEAKER_08]: Jody once again is right. [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, and it's like dude, you just admitted to it. [UNKNOWN]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's an ad that's an ad in Louisiana right now.

[SPEAKER_08]: Well, and I hope I hope that uh, so many of the things the Republicans have been doing over the last month are used as ads against them used to weaponize some unmarked and come on Ken Martin, come on, let's do it. [SPEAKER_08]: Man, Ken, Ken, Ken is actually, Ken is doing some things that I think are pretty good. [SPEAKER_08]: Ken is actually [SPEAKER_08]: He is using the DNC. [SPEAKER_08]: Remember we've talked about this before.

[SPEAKER_08]: The DNC in general is supposed to be just for the presidential. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, but but everybody assumes there because the the RNC is hierarchical. [SPEAKER_08]: They assume that the DNC is and it doesn't know there's a deep triple C and then there's a D C SC or whatever it is on the democratic side. [SPEAKER_08]: There are a bunch of groups. [SPEAKER_08]: It's kind of like Democrats. [SPEAKER_08]: We work as a bunch of groups.

[SPEAKER_08]: So we all kind of work together or at least we're supposed to [SPEAKER_08]: But on the Republican side, it's hierarchical, like an authoritarian ship, like a dictatorship, and the RNC is at the top and they tell the state RNC is what to do and so on and so forth. [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, a lot of people assume, well, it's the same on both sides, which [SPEAKER_08]: We all know it's not the same on the sides or so.

[SPEAKER_08]: Ken Martin has been out actually doing a lot to help out a lot of the down ballot races because good happens to know what he knows something that I think some Democrats Have it aren't realized and especially with the elections coming up next Tuesday. [SPEAKER_08]: We all got to talk about that one because it's it's very important It's very important lesson that Ken's got for you and we will [SPEAKER_08]: about that here. [SPEAKER_08]: It is Halloween night.

[SPEAKER_08]: Hopefully you all are if you're listening to us and you're out, you're being safe. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes, there are monsters out. [SPEAKER_08]: We'll talk about Christy Nome. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: She's such a seawork. [SPEAKER_08]: Uh-huh, exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: Next Tuesday, NBC, NBC, we've also got the drink today. [SPEAKER_08]: We will talk about that, which is brew coming down, and we've got a couple of great sources. [SPEAKER_08]: Karen and Anita, absolutely.

[SPEAKER_08]: Coming in. [SPEAKER_08]: Friday nights, get your drink refreshed, and come on back at the politics party. [SPEAKER_11]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics party. [SPEAKER_08]: Friday night here at the politics bar you have one and only wonderful joddy Hamilton and you know me I'm sure some of you put up with me. [SPEAKER_08]: It's fine.

[SPEAKER_08]: Shonsmithers for Friday night at the politics bar It's been a long week [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, I realize every every week is tactically the same number of days, but when you're dealing with some of the stupidity and some of the stuff, especially when you have to straighten people out about things. [SPEAKER_08]: It's always frustrating.

[SPEAKER_08]: And we realize, guys, that around here, here being, you know, in states, of course some of you are listening from other places, and thank you for those of you, UK and Canada and elsewhere who are listening, but, especially right now in the US, one of the things that makes it difficult to keep up on the political news,

[SPEAKER_08]: is the fact that there's so much garbage out there, and so many people just run with whatever the story is, and they don't necessarily get all the details first. [SPEAKER_08]: They want to be first, but they don't necessarily care about being right. [SPEAKER_08]: That is, it makes things extremely difficult. [SPEAKER_08]: So one of the reasons we do what we do that we put as much an energy into the news on tap is so that you guys can take a look.

[SPEAKER_08]: You can see what the actual facts are so that you can have discussions based on the facts, not just based on, for example, one of the stories we didn't put into the news on tap today. [SPEAKER_08]: Cash Patel looks like the FBI had a big bust in. [SPEAKER_08]: Wasn't Michigan, I believe? [SPEAKER_08]: That's what he said. [SPEAKER_04]: That's what he said.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I think so like earlier today on social media and gave a whole bunch of stuff and I guess FBI and DOJ is pissed at him because they're like you're not supposed to post that you gave out human details. [SPEAKER_08]: He said I'll give more details later and as of this evening he hasn't given any details and all.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's what happens when you're not a career DOJ person and you don't know what you're doing and I mean you don't talk about an ongoing investigation. [SPEAKER_04]: I know that and I've never. [SPEAKER_08]: You and I have never been, although Glenn Kirchner has been at the DOJ, he's going to be here. [SPEAKER_08]: What? [SPEAKER_08]: Next Tuesday. [SPEAKER_08]: Tuesday. [SPEAKER_08]: So excellent. [SPEAKER_08]: Because we have some legal questions that we'd like to.

[SPEAKER_08]: You know, we always like one of our members of the legal bar to join us here at the politics. [SPEAKER_08]: Because that's helpful. [SPEAKER_08]: Again, facts kind of important. [SPEAKER_08]: Y'all should be paying attention. [SPEAKER_08]: It's just one of those things. [SPEAKER_08]: So. [SPEAKER_08]: But yeah, that's the thing is that, yes, we can talk about this story because we know or we can talk about the fact that we don't know a whole lot about it. [SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I understand why the DJs mad at him and we'll, like, he obviously got a big dressing down talking to this morning. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, and I guess I'm sure some of the other people who work there, although, although there is another story since it is Halloween and we're talking about some of the the monsters that happen to be out there. [SPEAKER_08]: Steven Miller, which we all know is [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, he's he's a cool.

[SPEAKER_08]: So there's a new book that reveals stealth president as we jokingly are starting to call him Stephen Miller is actually at the heart of purging some of these FBI agents. [SPEAKER_08]: For example, an FBI official connected to the Trump 2020 election investigation another one being pushed out. [SPEAKER_08]: And Miller has had his hands, oh, we all know that he's had his hands in the stuff with DHS and ICE and CBP.

[SPEAKER_08]: But clearly, he's got his hands involved in a lot of other things. [SPEAKER_08]: John, Fugo saying last night was saying that that really in many ways, Steven Miller is kind of the shadow president, John clearly uses up on his stuff as well. [SPEAKER_08]: He's up on his news and [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: So Steven Miller is the, the Google to watch. [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, yes, and I look forward to him at our Nuremberg style trials. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I would love to see that.

[SPEAKER_08]: I absolutely love to see that because he needs, he needs to go away. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes. [SPEAKER_04]: He's an evil evil, evil, little tadpole ish, not quite finished money person. [SPEAKER_08]: I don't even know of any stories about him being, [SPEAKER_04]: anything about people don't like him except his wife and she's not like a bull either so I guess they found each other. [SPEAKER_08]: I'll agree with that one.

[SPEAKER_08]: Although there are even stories of her kind of bagging on him. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, Oh, it's like JD and Ushah. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, there's another it's okay. [SPEAKER_08]: So stories this is a fun one though speaking of story So you you heard you've heard a little bit more about it than I have but to you you can tell the one why saw the pictures Well, okay there there there are pictures too. [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, okay, so so apparently Eric Erica Erica Kirk Kirk.

[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you and JD we're at something [SPEAKER_08]: Talking point USA, which was Charlie Kirk's thing, and I guess they had a rally in New Orleans, I think it was, was I'm like that. [SPEAKER_04]: And so Vance was, I guess, going to speak. [SPEAKER_04]: So she was wearing, like, very, very tight black leather. [SPEAKER_04]: She looked like a couch, which understandable that J.D. [SPEAKER_08]: was attracted to her. [SPEAKER_04]: And when they... That's how she gets him to her.

[SPEAKER_04]: And the photograph I saw, I guess he was coming onto the stage. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not exactly sure. [SPEAKER_04]: They're hugging, but he's grabbing her hips in a way that you don't with somebody you don't. [SPEAKER_08]: about inch and a half from grabbing her ass.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yes. [SPEAKER_04]: And then she and other shot had her putting her fingers like around his neck, which is really [SPEAKER_04]: OK, I have ex-boyfriends that I dated on and off for years, like years, I would never do that. [SPEAKER_04]: They wouldn't do that to me either. [SPEAKER_08]: Now here's the thing, not now, in any normal circumstance, maybe this would be one of those things where people would be like, OK, it's a little weird but whatever, they're weirdos.

[SPEAKER_08]: But then there was a comment that JD made earlier this week. [SPEAKER_08]: about his wife, Ushavans, who she is, I believe, the Hindu, I think so, and he's a Christian. [SPEAKER_08]: He's a right wing, nut job Christian, and one of these right wing nut job media organizations propaganda organizations, basically, was pushing him on, you know, well, are you going to get your wife to convert?

[SPEAKER_08]: And he's like, well, you know, she can do her own thing, but it would be great if she did. [SPEAKER_04]: it's like she would have done it already. [SPEAKER_08]: I think I'm kind of I'm kind of going. [SPEAKER_04]: I just it and she up Chris and Stephanie were mentioning how much older Usha looks now than she did a year or two ago. [SPEAKER_08]: Hey, she's living with J.D. [SPEAKER_08]: Vance. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's a choice she made.

[SPEAKER_08]: Um, J.D. [SPEAKER_08]: is right. [SPEAKER_04]: But the thing is, it's like if she were to convert, she probably would have done it [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, probably, probably. [SPEAKER_04]: You know, I mean, my dad's first wife had to convert to marry him from being a Protestant to being Catholic. [SPEAKER_08]: Also, also, you know, I mean, if she was going to be converted convertible, I mean, I believe there is furniture that's convertible, and I think that that would have made Jit.

[SPEAKER_08]: Sorry, sorry. [SPEAKER_04]: I was I was reaching for that one kind of like JD was with yeah, I mean if y'all Guzzle the pictures you'll see what we're talking about because it's just Incredibly inappropriate first off.

[SPEAKER_04]: She's a widow and you know people grieving different ways so I'm not gonna Disparage that but the fact of the matter is he's a married man [SPEAKER_08]: It's and that was very public on a stage here's the here's the bigger thing is that these people are supposed to be the the right wing people the family family family values yes folks right [SPEAKER_08]: If you're well, then again, you know, Donald Trump's supposed to be family values.

[SPEAKER_08]: How many, how many wives, how many baby mama's? [SPEAKER_04]: Three baby mama's, three wives, a third is going to be an ex soon. [SPEAKER_08]: Now there's rumors of him and Caroline live it, but I, I, well, then again, Caroline Levitt's husband is actually kind of old too. [SPEAKER_04]: So nice. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, and I remember the rumors of him and hope picks.

[SPEAKER_04]: So. [SPEAKER_08]: I I just look at a lot of these rumors and I say it's fun to discuss them sometimes because we know that people are talking about these things. [SPEAKER_08]: So we can mention it. [SPEAKER_04]: We have no proof of anything. [SPEAKER_08]: We have no proof of anything. [SPEAKER_08]: We are not denigrated anybody. [SPEAKER_08]: We're just saying that there are people left, right, center, non-political who are discussing different aspects of these particular stories.

[SPEAKER_08]: And the general consensus is that it makes people feel kind of uneasy. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's okay. [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, when did Kirk died, he died what a month ago two months ago. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, like, uh, two months ago. [SPEAKER_08]: That was, it was, was it summer? [SPEAKER_04]: It was September. [SPEAKER_04]: Wasn't it 11th? [SPEAKER_04]: Was it September 11th? [SPEAKER_08]: Trying to remember. [SPEAKER_04]: Wednesday. [SPEAKER_04]: I remember it was a Wednesday.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [SPEAKER_08]: All right. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: I remember that. [SPEAKER_08]: September 10th. [SPEAKER_04]: September 10th. [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [SPEAKER_04]: So I mean, that's a minute ago. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: That's a minute ago. [SPEAKER_04]: And it's like, it just seems the behavior as far as photographically is inappropriate. [SPEAKER_08]: I'll just go with that. [SPEAKER_08]: Not inappropriate is a great way to put it.

[SPEAKER_08]: And I just feel that it is. [SPEAKER_08]: It's not the way that I would do it. [SPEAKER_08]: It's not the way that I would recommend things be done. [SPEAKER_08]: And especially if somebody happens to be on that side and say, these are my values. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, those are your values. [SPEAKER_08]: What are you, what are you doing? [SPEAKER_08]: What are you doing? [SPEAKER_08]: What are you doing? [SPEAKER_08]: So any who will?

[SPEAKER_08]: Well, we'll leave the rumor land and we'll head back to the news on tap. [SPEAKER_08]: In the second round of the news on tap, the stupid wars of Trump land today. [SPEAKER_08]: So Governor Pritzker, [SPEAKER_08]: requested, Christie the Nome, and the monsters of DHS and ICE and CBP to pause their immigration actions over the Halloween weekend, because frankly, that would make a lot of sense.

[SPEAKER_04]: They are the tiergast in neighborhood with the Halloween parade with kids, with children that were there. [SPEAKER_04]: And then pulled a 67-year-old man out of his car because he was trying to get home. [SPEAKER_08]: Um, uh, Christie the known basically said, uh, go pound sand. [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, uh, this was, uh, yesterday. [SPEAKER_08]: This was, this was yesterday over on Fox. [SPEAKER_05]: Question following up on Chicago.

[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, because I know that there are a lot of Chicago and's talking about this right now. [SPEAKER_05]: Um, because there, there is a lot of, about ice activity, obviously in that city. [SPEAKER_05]: Uh, And you are making the case, obviously rightly so. [SPEAKER_05]: But the governor has asked you specifically to pause immigration enforcement operations in that city, so he says, so he says that kids can safely celebrate Halloween.

[SPEAKER_05]: Do you have any plans to alter activity tomorrow on that day? [SPEAKER_01]: No, we're going to be on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe. [SPEAKER_04]: She's not making sure kids are safe. [SPEAKER_04]: She's making sure that they're terrorized. [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: And increasing their activities is not going to make people safer. [SPEAKER_08]: It's going to make people less safe. [SPEAKER_08]: Mm-hmm.

[SPEAKER_08]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_08]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_08]: Idiot. [SPEAKER_08]: Nice. [SPEAKER_08]: And from the growing number of complaints, discussions, rumors, most of which are off the record, it's as though her boyfriend, Cori Lundowski, is basically running ICE and CBP. [SPEAKER_08]: Um, Meredith Schiner, who we've had in the bar before, um, Meredith's great. [SPEAKER_08]: We love Meredith.

[SPEAKER_08]: She has a great piece that we stuck in the news on tap today that I says terrorizing Chicago for Halloween, and thankfully, parents are fighting back because there's some silver lining to it. [SPEAKER_08]: Meredith, as you know, great writers. [SPEAKER_08]: So we'll, we'll get her in the bar again some other time here. [SPEAKER_08]: But, uh, yeah, um, you can check that piece out in the news on tap.

[SPEAKER_08]: If you are subscribed, which you should be to the news on tap, uh, the Trump administration [SPEAKER_08]: to the lowest level on record, which, unless you're from South African white, yeah, which is insane. [SPEAKER_08]: But, and even then, it's still a lower level, even of those people, it's just because they're like immigrants.

[SPEAKER_08]: They say they don't like immigrants, and we know they don't like immigrants of, you know, that are brown and black or any other, except white. [SPEAKER_08]: But I also don't think that they're that big of fans of immigrants, even the white ones. [SPEAKER_08]: I think in general, [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know, I didn't, you know, Francis said this or something earlier today, or maybe Stephanie did, and then Francis commented on it.

[SPEAKER_04]: Apparently, you see, there's Steven Miller, somebody else is saying that you wouldn't want somebody living next door to you that didn't speak English. [SPEAKER_08]: Which, a lot of South Africans speak Africaners, so. [SPEAKER_04]: and a lot of people speak German and Italian and French and Dutch and Gaelic and there was a great there was a great video that I saw on was it Instagram? [SPEAKER_08]: I think it was Instagram.

[SPEAKER_08]: I was looking at our account last night and we've got several mentions and different things. [SPEAKER_08]: God, you guys, well, we'll get those handles to you as well. [SPEAKER_08]: You can find us on all of them at the politics bar, but somebody had a great video and I saw this. [SPEAKER_08]: It was basically talking about how [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, this, this girl was in a band. [SPEAKER_08]: And she, like in a neighborhood, they were going to have like three bands in an evening.

[SPEAKER_08]: It was going to be kind of fun and the house next door, they like the two houses they hadn't talked because the house next door was a Mexican immigrant family or status, but they spoke mostly Spanish and they hadn't spoken to the house next door who were the bands were going to be using us and they were setting up their own band. [SPEAKER_08]: It was for their daughters, Kinsenera.

[SPEAKER_08]: And so the the girl who was doing it given the video was talking about how basically the bands kind of back and forth and they were like, hey, and then they decided They would like they'd play two songs. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, and then the others would play two songs and then they kind of got back forth And then they decided to play a song together and everybody kind of melded together and was like, this is really cool.

[SPEAKER_08]: I bet that was the best Keats in era [SPEAKER_08]: ever. [SPEAKER_08]: I bet. [SPEAKER_04]: And that's good neighbors. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: You know, good neighbors help regardless of what language and maybe they can teach your kid a language so that your kid can you know, I don't skip a skip a class in high school or college or something. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, I mean, it's cheaper for you and faster for them to learn. [SPEAKER_08]: Me come on.

[SPEAKER_04]: And Spanish is a colonizing language by the way. [SPEAKER_04]: It's not a native language to Latin America. [SPEAKER_08]: Right, it's a Spanish colonized it hence that's why they speak Spanish well right because Spain is not in Latin America No, but it was a colonizing country like England in France, you know Those people who are like well, and you go no Spain is Europe. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's a white European speaks Spanish [SPEAKER_08]: Here, we speak drinks.

[SPEAKER_08]: Today, by the way, he's not just Halloween. [SPEAKER_08]: Johnny, what, what other, what, what, what are their holiday is today?

[SPEAKER_04]: Some Hein? [SPEAKER_08]: Sam, I think that sounds pronounced. [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, the Celtics. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, basically Celtic New Years. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's their new years exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: I think happy New Years in Gaelic, if I knew how, but I don't. [SPEAKER_04]: I should have emailed my cousin who lives in Ireland with her husband who speaks. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, nice. [SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, it was a special time then.

[SPEAKER_04]: They believed the transition from light to dark was when the world's occupied by the living in the dead were barely separated. [SPEAKER_08]: which is going to cool. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and only at this point in the year could the spirits come visit the living which is very much the day the dead tomorrow [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, it's it's multiple.

[SPEAKER_08]: It's interesting that multiple cultures have a similar spiritual process around the similar day, which tends to give some credence to the idea. [SPEAKER_08]: Of course, actually, what's happening? [SPEAKER_08]: The Catholic Church came in and basically took it over, like they did with Easter and [SPEAKER_08]: All right, one of the things about methane is that of the calts, they would they would dress up, they would have costumes.

[SPEAKER_08]: Basically two scare off the evil spirits. [SPEAKER_08]: And then the Catholics took over these and hey, that's a great idea. [SPEAKER_08]: We'll take that one. [SPEAKER_08]: We'll rob that from you. [SPEAKER_08]: we've got the whole history in there. [SPEAKER_08]: It is kind of a cool history of where Halloween comes from. [SPEAKER_08]: You do excellent with these things, John. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm very drunkards, Almanac helps tremendously.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [SPEAKER_08]: Okay. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, and there are some other pieces too. [SPEAKER_08]: No, I always added a little bit throwing a few things here and there. [SPEAKER_08]: By the way, you know, Halloween lots of rituals with this candy obviously costumes. [SPEAKER_08]: They've got naughty everything costumes now, not a nursery. [SPEAKER_04]: They have naughty handmaids tail, like that's a thing. [SPEAKER_04]: How is that? [SPEAKER_04]: How?

[SPEAKER_04]: It's not even a thing in the book or in any of the series. [SPEAKER_04]: It's not a thing. [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, there was Jesse Bells, but they weren't dressed as handmaids. [SPEAKER_04]: That Jesse Bells. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, anyway, there are directions we could go with that part of the conversation, but because there may be children listening, we won't, just say. [SPEAKER_08]: But look, lots of costumes, lots of fun, lots of haunted houses out there as well.

[SPEAKER_08]: After we do the drink of the day, we'll do another Halloween story. [SPEAKER_08]: I'll tell you this one. [SPEAKER_08]: It's fun. [SPEAKER_08]: This is one that I've been waiting to tell you guys here, since this summer, when I first referenced it. [SPEAKER_08]: So for those of you who have been listening since then, it's coming tonight. [SPEAKER_08]: I'll tell you that story. [SPEAKER_08]: But for now, today's drink of the day is... [SPEAKER_08]: It's a widows kiss cocktail.

[SPEAKER_08]: Windows. [SPEAKER_08]: By the way, that was a movie kind of a be grade movie with Beverly DeAngelo, I believe. [SPEAKER_08]: For some reason, I actually remembered that that was when I saw that you'd made this the widows kiss and I was like, wait a minute, when they're moving, I looked it up and it's like, oh yeah, it was like 87, 88, bad be grade movie with Beverly DeAngelo. [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know why I ain't remembered that. [SPEAKER_04]: Never saw it.

[SPEAKER_08]: So what is in a widow's kiss cocktail? [SPEAKER_04]: Okay, you're going to need a mixing glass. [SPEAKER_04]: You're going to need some ice, a pre-chilled Nick and Nora or coupe glass. [SPEAKER_04]: One and a half ounces of Calvado's Brandy or another Apple Brandy. [SPEAKER_04]: So it's an Apple Brandy because that's the flavor that we're going for. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm excited. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: It's three quarters of an ounce of Benedictine.

[SPEAKER_04]: Not the stuff you put on booboos. [SPEAKER_04]: No, that's backteen. [SPEAKER_04]: It's not backteen, Benedictine. [SPEAKER_04]: Three-quarter ounces of yellow shark truce. [SPEAKER_04]: Two dashes of angostura bitters. [SPEAKER_04]: And an optional garnish of a cherry. [SPEAKER_04]: You don't have to, but you can. [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [SPEAKER_04]: So you added the ingredients to the mixing glass. [SPEAKER_04]: Add and stir to chill.

[SPEAKER_04]: Now, you may want to stir a bit longer to dilute it because the flavors are very strong. [SPEAKER_04]: Some advocating small amount of water. [SPEAKER_04]: a quarter ounce or shaking is that will dilute it more than string so that's all up to you on how you want to how you want to taste. [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [SPEAKER_04]: So if you've never had it before do it as written or then if it's too strong, add a little water to your drink.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, no big ones. [SPEAKER_04]: Um, straining to the pre-chilled cocktail glass, garnished with the cherry if desired. [SPEAKER_04]: And if you want to reduce the sweetness of the drink, change the proportions of the original ratios of 2 to 1, 1, and 2, 8 to 1, 1 by using 2 ounces of Calvado's brandy or an quarter ounce of each, the Benedictine and the Yellow Chartres. [SPEAKER_04]: It's, again, it's a taste issue. [SPEAKER_08]: Right.

[SPEAKER_08]: You kind of, you can make it to taste and if you want to be a little less strong, just, you know, change, change a few of the amounts. [SPEAKER_08]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_08]: Whatever you do in a night, celebrate safely, whatever you do in this weekend, celebrate safely and, you know, stay in the light. [SPEAKER_08]: Don't become a maggot. [SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_08]: vote correctly which vote yes on 50 this week coming up exactly we'll talk about that hey if you missed any part of the drink of the day remember just subscribe you can get it all there the politics bar dot com so since we are talking about the elections um have you seen some of the polls from yes on 50 [SPEAKER_04]: We're it's going to it's going to pass in fact apparently the governor is like going look we don't need more money.

[SPEAKER_08]: Just vote Well, and that's the thing whatever you're doing out there for God's sake make sure if you have not voted early If you are not voting early this weekend get your ass out there and make sure that you vote It's one of the most important things that you can do seriously Look, there's a new poll that shows the Democrat Mikey Cheryl's holds an eight point lead over her Republican challenger great [SPEAKER_08]: I like those kind of polls.

[SPEAKER_08]: You know, the best poll that I like, that's the election day poll, the moment actually has the votes. [SPEAKER_08]: So look, if you are in Pennsylvania, keep your Supreme Court controlled by Democrats because there are lots of elections, and we know if it's Republicans, if it were old-fashioned Republicans who cared about the law, that would be different. [SPEAKER_08]: But anybody who's running now is a magnet.

[SPEAKER_08]: They are scary, and they wanna do whatever Donald Trump does, regardless of the law. [SPEAKER_08]: So you don't want that kind of bad stuff in your area of Pennsylvania. [SPEAKER_08]: So make sure that stays. [SPEAKER_08]: Main, remember, prop one, you want to vote no. [SPEAKER_08]: You like to be able to use your ability to fill out your ballot at home. [SPEAKER_08]: So vote no there, because duh, God, I have heard different measures of votes.

[SPEAKER_08]: There are tons of elections going on across the country, across the country. [SPEAKER_08]: learn the subjects that are going to be on your ballot. [SPEAKER_08]: Take this weekend for whatever you're doing. [SPEAKER_08]: Take this weekend and go to i will vote dot org or whatever one of those sites like that. [SPEAKER_08]: Find out what the ballot what is on the ballot what you're going to be voting for if you haven't already voted.

[SPEAKER_08]: And if you have already voted your job is to make sure that the people that you know your neighbors, your friends, your family, the people that you work with that they are going to vote. [SPEAKER_08]: And yes you can talk about it at work. [SPEAKER_08]: I don't say talk politics just talk about voting because voting is important and you can say to people, hey, you voted again.

[SPEAKER_08]: And if they go, now you go, well, you probably should, you know, because if you don't vote, I mean, you can't speak. [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly as my mom always used to say that I vote cannot bitch. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, it's five counties in California and one county in New Jersey You're going to have poll watchers sense by the DOJ so y'all be careful.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I think Governor Newsom is actually sending Watchers to watch the watchers [SPEAKER_08]: Right, which hell yeah, that was what I wanted to see, man. [SPEAKER_08]: That's why I don't know if Governor Murphy is doing that up in New Jersey, but I would hope that he does. [SPEAKER_04]: And if he doesn't, then you know, whatever county that I don't know that county off hand in Jersey, but be careful and don't be intimidated, bring the right IDs with you.

[SPEAKER_04]: If you have a passport, bring that. [SPEAKER_08]: Be prepared, make sure when you go to vote, be prepared. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes, it should be easy. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes, it should be fun. [SPEAKER_08]: And yes, you should have your say because that's how democracy works. [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_08]: But like everything else right now, because of Trump and these maggot Republicans, you got to make sure that you got your you know, peace and cues in order, got your eyes dotted, and your T's cross to make sure you do the things where your eyes crossed and your T's dotted. [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, I don't know if that works out well, Joe. [SPEAKER_08]: We'll get them in.

[SPEAKER_08]: Hopefully, you're not going to get the video actually going this weekend and then you'll be able to see it on our YouTube channel. [SPEAKER_08]: So yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: So then you'll be able to see us crossing our eyes and I think I'm going to start. [SPEAKER_04]: OK, that mask over there. [SPEAKER_08]: I can't. [SPEAKER_08]: I thought about wearing my fedora today because you know, it is after all Halloween. [SPEAKER_08]: But I cannot wear my fedora with the headphones.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, yeah, I've got the standard radio cans. [SPEAKER_08]: The nice big ones that go on your, on your overriggers and over your head. [SPEAKER_08]: And you can't really wear a hat over that, so whatever. [SPEAKER_12]: But hey. [SPEAKER_08]: happens, whatever, whatever, whatever. [SPEAKER_08]: Look, it is Halloween. [SPEAKER_08]: We are hoping that you guys are having fun. [SPEAKER_08]: Although there is some scary things out there, there's been some argument, but there it is.

[SPEAKER_08]: Variety has this story. [SPEAKER_08]: We have it in the news on tap in the entertainment section in the night. [SPEAKER_08]: Gayle King, the business CBS for ages, is Variety is saying that she is expected to depart CBS mornings in her anchor rule, amid the right wing destruction of CBS news. [SPEAKER_08]: CBS put out a little thing that said, and now we're actually going to keep her, but neither she or anybody else other than that one release from CBS has said much.

[SPEAKER_08]: Maybe she'll go, maybe she won't, either feeling she will, because Gail has integrity. [SPEAKER_08]: So I don't know. [SPEAKER_08]: We'll we'll we'll see. [SPEAKER_08]: It's it's disappointing. [SPEAKER_08]: Just remember right now. [SPEAKER_08]: Block off CBS news. [SPEAKER_08]: By the way, uh, didn't get this one in and I'm not sure if it's changed because it could change at any time.

[SPEAKER_08]: But at last check, if you have YouTube TV, you do not have access to any of the ABC Disney channels. [SPEAKER_08]: So you're local ABC affiliate or ESPN. [SPEAKER_08]: There's some sports that you want to watch this weekend. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, because they're having what's called a carriage fight. [SPEAKER_08]: Basically arguing over who gets how much of the money that you send.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well that you know like if you have cable like I still do and eventually I'm gonna get rid of it but if you have cable and say there's a blackout because years ago I was at my job [SPEAKER_04]: And they had a time Warner cable, which is now spectrum, and they were having an issue with CBS at the time. [SPEAKER_04]: And so negotiations weren't working. [SPEAKER_04]: So time Warner just cut CBS and you couldn't even get it on the internet if you were through their internet.

[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, they blew the IPs. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I didn't. [SPEAKER_08]: That's ridiculous. [SPEAKER_04]: It wasn't just, it wasn't just for your television because I went to check and I'm like, yep, this thing came up saying we are no longer carrying anything CBS related. [SPEAKER_08]: Because they blocked their IPs, which they shouldn't be able to do, but that's, yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: So there is, there is some of that going on.

[SPEAKER_08]: Look the simple thing that you can do is send messages, send emails and send phone calls if you can to both of them and say, get over yourselves, figure it out, you've got customers figured out.

[SPEAKER_08]: uh... some possibly good news in the uh... in the media world to netflix is now exploring buying one of brother's discovery and that could keep it out of the hands of elison that would be great yeah well see we will see uh... look we've got more news on tap uh... we do occur in and need a coming back and uh... yet and how the wind story that i told you about uh... i can't what was it july jodied i think that i first mentioned that story

[SPEAKER_08]: All right, Jody. [SPEAKER_08]: We do have more news on tap and there's some other things going on. [SPEAKER_08]: Some of these things are kind of kind of scary, kind of weird. [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, yes, it's Halloween. [SPEAKER_08]: But someone is just just regular level scaring us. [SPEAKER_08]: Okay, so Trump's nuclear stupidity this week. [SPEAKER_08]: We mentioned we're going to talk about this.

[SPEAKER_08]: Experts have confirmed that [SPEAKER_08]: the Trump pushed to restart nuclear tests could take many years and cost millions. [SPEAKER_08]: So, around here, you know what that means? [SPEAKER_08]: Jodie is right. [SPEAKER_08]: Literally, that's what you said yesterday. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I read it, so I was just reading what was being reported. [SPEAKER_08]: But, um, uh, so I mean, you were saying yesterday, what's common sense and you're also correct.

[SPEAKER_08]: It's just nice that the experts, you know, did that you were reading and are keep going and they keep going. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes, please talk about it. [SPEAKER_08]: You were correct in saying so. [SPEAKER_04]: No, I mean, it's just like, dude, you can't just start this. [SPEAKER_04]: There's people involved. [SPEAKER_04]: There are bombs to move around. [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's regulation regulations. [SPEAKER_04]: You don't want to murder people.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, he already did. [SPEAKER_08]: It's called COVID. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, there's there's, there's, you've got stories about that, too. [SPEAKER_08]: We're in the news on tap that.

[SPEAKER_08]: keg breath is doing that stuff that there is a nice piece informed commentary which we've told you guys about before Tom Nichols says that Trump is very confused about the nuclear weapons and he details the whole thing in a great piece at the Atlantic if you're not subscribed to the Atlantic don't worry we have a gift link for you can go check it out and read that over the weekend if you want something to read over the weekend you can always do that by the way with any of the stuff in the news on tap you can read it whenever so if you just want to catch

[SPEAKER_08]: Um, something else that's, uh, well, it's not scary to you and me, but I think it's hilarious, actually, but it is scary to Donald Trump. [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, newly confirmed by the New York Times, also in a gift link if you're not subscribed. [SPEAKER_08]: You can check that out at the news on tap. [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, after FCN's 2019 death, JP Morgan, the big ass bank and investment firm alerted the federal government. [SPEAKER_08]: Who's president 2019, Jody?

[SPEAKER_08]: I believe that would be Donald. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: They alerted the government of Donald Trump of more than $1 billion in suspicious transactions related to human trafficking. [SPEAKER_08]: Conveniently we haven't heard a whole lot about that. [SPEAKER_04]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_04]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_04]: Also, did you read the I didn't send it to you, but the Huffington Post article after Donald was shot.

[SPEAKER_04]: But the first thing he said to the doctors was how is this playing? [SPEAKER_08]: I believe Jonathan Carl, I think that's from his new book, it's talking about that. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it definitely gives more questions to the rumors around whether it was staged or not. [SPEAKER_08]: Again, it's it's rumors. [SPEAKER_08]: We don't know. [SPEAKER_08]: And obviously we wouldn't want anybody to kill him. [SPEAKER_08]: If for no weather reason, then it would make Trump a martyr.

[SPEAKER_04]: No, we don't want that. [SPEAKER_04]: No, I want him alive and imprisoned. [SPEAKER_08]: Dying old age look I have said before I wouldn't mind if he, you know, and I'm not saying that I wish him ill, but you know, he's old. [SPEAKER_08]: So if you happen to have like a big seizure, big massive stroke, and, you know, was basically semi vegetable. [SPEAKER_08]: He mentally he was there, but physically he wasn't able to do anything.

[SPEAKER_08]: Of course, they'd have to, you know, 25th Amendment him and would then JD Vance. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, it's a good question. [SPEAKER_08]: They could do a weekend at Bernie's thing, but I think they actually probably would 25th Amendment him at that point. [SPEAKER_08]: And then he would just have to sit there and watch as everything that he'd done so far would be messed up by JD or overturned by Democrats and he'd be screaming internally and wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I know. [SPEAKER_08]: Some of you are like, damn, that's that's hardcore and like, well, this is one of the many reasons why there are people out there who have some positions of power who've talked to me and gotten in Tussles with me and they're like, we never want to piss you off. [SPEAKER_08]: Cause I just, Yeah, any who. [SPEAKER_08]: Bye.

[SPEAKER_08]: one of those actually a friend of mine he called me he was talking about Husker stuff Husker Sports stuff yes we we call he's a Husker fan and and he talked to me about it and he's like he was talking about Bill Burn who used to be the athletic director at the University of Nebraska that was actually when I was going there as a student journalism student and I did a nice little in-depth expose and after I did that the journalism college used to be right there at the south end of the football stadium now it's a whole different

[SPEAKER_08]: I did this whole ex was a, there were a lot of people talking about it. [SPEAKER_08]: It's a newspaper talked about it. [SPEAKER_08]: It was my partner and I, we did a big thing. [SPEAKER_08]: That's fine. [SPEAKER_08]: So I come out of that like a week later after they, they aired on the college radio station. [SPEAKER_08]: And I see Bill burn and then I see him see me. [SPEAKER_08]: And then I see him walk across the streets to avoid walking my baby.

[SPEAKER_08]: This is how I let a director. [SPEAKER_08]: which I later found out it did piss him off. [SPEAKER_08]: But, you know, look, the solution to, you know, that kind of thing is don't do the wrong thing in the first place. [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: All I did was I did the thing that journalists do and and he didn't like that it got reported, which too bad. [SPEAKER_08]: So said. [SPEAKER_04]: So what about this Halloween story?

[SPEAKER_08]: Do you want me to wait until Karen and you? [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, let's wait for them. [SPEAKER_08]: OK, because I can tell that. [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, it is a good story. [SPEAKER_08]: It actually spans what, like, 15, 20 years of my life. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, wow. [SPEAKER_08]: And it involves spirits and a Ouija board. [SPEAKER_08]: Okay, I'm just, I'm just leaving it there. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm just leaving it there.

[SPEAKER_08]: I know I'm teasing you guys, but it's a Halloween story and it is kind of fun. [SPEAKER_08]: And it, it, it gives, it gives another look at at the aspect of, of who is this Sean Smith Pierce guy? [SPEAKER_08]: Which, you know, whatever, I mean, I've been here my whole life, and so. [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know any other. [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know how to be anybody other than me. [SPEAKER_08]: So that's just make sense. [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: Andrew.

[SPEAKER_08]: Can't call him Prince Andrew now. [SPEAKER_08]: Andrew. [SPEAKER_08]: Mount Mount Batten Windsor also happens to be the same person. [SPEAKER_08]: He's always been. [SPEAKER_08]: Although now he's in trouble. [SPEAKER_08]: We've got this story also in the news on tap under the Epstein files section, which of course Trump is scared us hell about.

[SPEAKER_08]: uh... so Andrew mount button wins our uh... fondly prints Andrew uh... younger brother king charles got stripped of all of his titles and uh... he gets to get tossed out of his house by the way um... he and further you're still living together okay so the place the place where they're living is i guess it's like a thirty some odd room mansion [SPEAKER_08]: It's a freaking castle. [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, it's, you know, it's one of the Windsor's castles.

[SPEAKER_08]: They've got a pile of them. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, they have. [SPEAKER_04]: And I think he's staying with his one of his brothers, private homes. [SPEAKER_08]: Right, right, exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: Charles has some private homes that they're moving into and Fergi is moving out of her own thing. [SPEAKER_08]: But they literally had this mansion, this castle that they had had separate wings. [SPEAKER_08]: Of course. [SPEAKER_08]: So she lived in her wing.

[SPEAKER_08]: and he lived in his wing and then there was like the middle portion of the wing that was empty. [SPEAKER_08]: Basically if you think of it like the White House, the shield lived in the west wing and he lived in the, oh well, that's gone anyway. [SPEAKER_08]: But um, [SPEAKER_08]: Sorry.

[SPEAKER_08]: Anyway, but yeah, so they're they're getting tossed from their little castle because Andrew Andrew just couldn't stop being himself and hang out with Jeffrey Epstein and I'm very glad Virginia is you free. [SPEAKER_08]: I wish that she had not committed suicide but her. [SPEAKER_08]: Her memoir seems to be. [SPEAKER_08]: Catching a lot of the wrong people, or the right people, depending on how you look at it.

[SPEAKER_08]: Catching the people who did the bad things, so I'm kind of glad about that, that's it. [SPEAKER_08]: That is some kind of justice for her or accountability for those people who did things. [SPEAKER_08]: Justice would be she'd still be alive, so whatever it's, it's [SPEAKER_04]: But I am just as it would be none of that ever happened to her exactly and then she would still be alive. [SPEAKER_08]: So exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: Hey, look who I'm seeing coming in. [SPEAKER_08]: Holy cow.

[SPEAKER_08]: What do you see? [SPEAKER_08]: I see Karen coming in. [SPEAKER_03]: I thought a second. [SPEAKER_08]: And I go for half a second. [SPEAKER_03]: Earfong, then. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, you look so cute. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, you do have you do have your cat ears on Karen. [SPEAKER_08]: We see Karen is coming in. [SPEAKER_08]: She's kind of a class of dover. [SPEAKER_08]: Where are you? [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know. [SPEAKER_08]: Maybe she's in Ireland. [SPEAKER_08]: It's entirely possible.

[SPEAKER_08]: She's in Ireland. [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know, I saw Anita come in and then she turned around and she went back out, but hopefully she'll come right back. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, she's got none with me right now, hold on a second. [SPEAKER_08]: Okay, okay. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, we are seeing you with your cat ears, Karen. [SPEAKER_08]: Happy Halloween.

[SPEAKER_08]: All right, Friday night means Karen and any of the from true blue politics are here and of course we always have to ask because you know Karen you are always out of the broad view facility and of course Um, Christine to know was a monster this week.

[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, I'm sure you guys, I'm joining, we talked about this an hour one and I'm sure you all have seen this that Governor Pritzker requested that Christykeeper, DHS, CBP, and Ice Monsters basically pull him back this weekend over Halloween weekend and she said screw that. [SPEAKER_08]: We're going to do even more. [SPEAKER_03]: Yep, we're going to send parents when they're trying to go out, trick or treating with their kids.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I mean, they really are monster man there. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, well, I mean, she shot her dog. [SPEAKER_08]: So right there. [SPEAKER_08]: That's true. [SPEAKER_10]: She's a monster dog. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I was in her daughter's dog. [SPEAKER_10]: And it was a puppy. [SPEAKER_10]: No, little girl asks where is my dog? [SPEAKER_10]: What's up? [SPEAKER_10]: Yes, that's she's. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, she's. [SPEAKER_10]: She's horrible.

[SPEAKER_08]: Monsters is about the nicest thing that we can say on broadcast rating. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, she's. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: So how, how are things in Chicago, Garen? [SPEAKER_08]: I realize that's kind of like the, uh, so Mrs. Lincoln other than that, how was the play? [SPEAKER_08]: How long can you visit Chicago? [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's, it's just, it's continuing. [SPEAKER_03]: You know, the, the cruelty is continuing.

[SPEAKER_03]: Um, [SPEAKER_03]: things have been a little quieter at the detention facility as far as the protests. [SPEAKER_03]: I have not, there hasn't been as much helicopter activity over her head. [SPEAKER_08]: And, you know, following the rules, that's a, that's a problem. [SPEAKER_08]: You talked about it. [SPEAKER_08]: We are here with you on that that they need to be following the rules. [SPEAKER_08]: If you're going to have to just wear every [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: So about a month ago, the mayor of Broadview, Katrina Thompson put in place hours of operation for the protesters and they set up barricades so that people could. [SPEAKER_03]: be within certain, you know, a certain area. [SPEAKER_08]: You've made good points about that before, and I want you to make it again, why did the mayor set those rules up for protesting? [SPEAKER_08]: Because some people think that, oh, well, that's, that's just wrong.

[SPEAKER_08]: I should be able to protest whatever I want. [SPEAKER_03]: That's a violation of my free speech, right? [SPEAKER_08]: What was her reasoning for it? [SPEAKER_03]: So her reasoning was that she was hearing from a lot of her residents who were being traumatized. [SPEAKER_03]: by the helicopters overhead, all the police activity, the street closures. [SPEAKER_08]: Love these, like, in a residential area, right?

[SPEAKER_03]: It is, so it is, so where the facility itself is, it's industrial, there are a bunch of warehouses over there, but right across 25th Avenue, it's in a residential area, if you go the other direction, it's a residential area. [SPEAKER_08]: Okay, so it's been bordering on a residential area. [SPEAKER_03]: So it's, yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: So when things happen, like you can't even access [SPEAKER_03]: because what was happening was they were blocking off 25th, which is a main thoroughfare that feeds right on to the Eisenhower Expressway. [SPEAKER_03]: And so if you're like if I was going home, I wasn't able to get to my house. [SPEAKER_03]: If I got off of the Eisenhower and tried to go down 25th. [SPEAKER_03]: And they weren't letting us. [SPEAKER_08]: That leads to residential area.

[SPEAKER_08]: It's a residential area. [SPEAKER_08]: You were saying, in our one about the guy that they pulled out from the car. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: What the Halloween parade when they threw tear gas. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh my god. [SPEAKER_04]: And then they pull the sky. [SPEAKER_04]: It was just coming home from a jog basically. [SPEAKER_04]: Right. [SPEAKER_04]: 67 year old man trying to just get home and I stop him. [SPEAKER_04]: Paul breaks his window if I'm remembering.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Paul's giving the card that broke six ribs. [SPEAKER_10]: I heard about that. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh my god. [SPEAKER_10]: These people. [SPEAKER_10]: He was trying to turn around. [SPEAKER_08]: and he's a residential area. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes. [SPEAKER_08]: I get the rules on protesting around residential areas because sure to you, it might be, well, it's just the warehouse that's here.

[SPEAKER_08]: But all the neighbors around it, I mean, you know, if you're imagine looking at the crossroads on corner of it is an industrial and the other three corners might be residential, those are still the neighbors, man, people live there. [SPEAKER_03]: So well, and not only that, but Mayor Thompson is African American woman, she is responsible to majority black and brown community.

[SPEAKER_12]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: And so for me, and I've said this before, I'll say it again, as a white woman, as a white ally, I measure every single thing that I do, how I show up based off of the fact that how if I cause problems, if I make it, you know, like if I show up and I'm agitating or I'm doing whatever. [SPEAKER_03]: that that is going to directly impact the people that I say that I'm showing up for. [SPEAKER_04]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_10]: And remember the George Floyd protests?

[SPEAKER_10]: Everything happened after dark back. [SPEAKER_10]: Remember the writing, the destruction of property, that was all late at night. [SPEAKER_10]: It's beneficial to our cause when these things end before it gets dark. [SPEAKER_08]: Great. [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: So, the things you can't see what's going on. [SPEAKER_08]: It's more dangerous. [SPEAKER_08]: Everybody.

[SPEAKER_03]: All kinds of people come out and eyes and the ice monsters are coming out and they're doing whatever they want. [SPEAKER_03]: They were tier guessing people. [SPEAKER_03]: They were shooting pepper pellets directly at people. [SPEAKER_08]: I can religious leaders literally were just asking to pray. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: And there's a lot of this was happening after dark. [SPEAKER_03]: And so. [SPEAKER_03]: you know, you don't even see it coming.

[SPEAKER_03]: So that's the other thing. [SPEAKER_03]: It's for the safety of the protesters that sit for the safety of the community. [SPEAKER_03]: And like the residents too, another part of this, was that these are chemical munitions that are getting into the air and apparently, and I just found this out, the tear gas that they were using is military grade tear gas. [SPEAKER_10]: that doesn't.

[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, and what about this guy, this, uh, but one Vino, is that a Vino, yeah, for Vino, that now has to, um, report to this judge every day. [SPEAKER_10]: Is that a happening still? [SPEAKER_08]: I didn't check back. [SPEAKER_08]: Uh, uh, yeah, I sure was.

[SPEAKER_08]: He was supposed to have, well, he was supposed to have basically detention every day at 6 p.m. And then the 7th Circuit somewhat intervened, but they only intervened for Wednesday, and then he was supposed to be there Thursday. [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know if they're turning the detention back on. [SPEAKER_08]: I guess his hearing is what is November 11th. [SPEAKER_08]: long short.

[SPEAKER_08]: Last time I checked there were only turning it off for Wednesday and Thursday, which meant that in theory, he should have been back there tonight at 6 p.m. And basically he's supposed to report to this judge every day at 6 p.m. [SPEAKER_08]: Even if even if that's not the case, he's supposed to have now a body cam. [SPEAKER_10]: But they have to wear identifying uniforms, right?

[SPEAKER_08]: Um, correct, they have to, they have to, I don't know where labels like on their hands or their shoes. [SPEAKER_10]: They have to wear the body cams. [SPEAKER_10]: So what about that? [SPEAKER_10]: What about that stuff? [SPEAKER_08]: Is that, you know, that's still an effect regardless. [SPEAKER_08]: The only thing that the seven circuit somewhat paused was his, his having to do. [SPEAKER_08]: Study hard. [SPEAKER_08]: School detention. [SPEAKER_08]: Study hard.

[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_10]: report every day to this judge. [SPEAKER_10]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: You know, in person six p.m. Go to the court room and say, OK, today, judge, my guys beat up this person and grab the person out of their car and no gold star for you. [SPEAKER_08]: I think it's more than that. [SPEAKER_08]: I think the reason that she's doing it is because they are clearly operating at his command.

[SPEAKER_08]: So she is hopefully going to say, look, if you don't get control of your people, all take contempt and throw your ass in jail and you will be in jail. [SPEAKER_08]: And that, I mean, I personally, if that would affect his behavior, I would say go for it. [SPEAKER_03]: Do you think that they will actually be able to do that? [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I mean, if she's in a courtroom, and he's in the court, and he is reporting her as an only person.

[SPEAKER_08]: And she comes in and says, uh, she says, you know, what happened? [SPEAKER_08]: And he says, well, my officers, you know, uh, you're going to have to back your kids beat up an 86 year old woman and exactly tear to guys to bunch of kids and she gets pissed, and she's like, well, did you tell them not to? [SPEAKER_08]: And he says something effective.

[SPEAKER_08]: No. [SPEAKER_08]: Do I think that she, I mean, do I think legally do I know legally that she has the right to give him a contempt? [SPEAKER_08]: Yes. [SPEAKER_04]: And then the bailiff can just take him right there. [SPEAKER_08]: Correct. [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: It's not a question. [SPEAKER_08]: It's not a question. [SPEAKER_08]: At that point, the bailiff will take him. [SPEAKER_08]: They will relieve him to court or his gear and they'll take his ass down.

[SPEAKER_03]: Do you think they would put him in a cruiser? [SPEAKER_03]: And if so, do you think that they could bang his head while they're putting him in? [SPEAKER_10]: Don't, what was it? [SPEAKER_10]: Don't be so nice. [SPEAKER_10]: Don't be so nice. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, that's right. [SPEAKER_10]: You guys. [SPEAKER_08]: What you said? [SPEAKER_08]: No, you're, you're, look, look.

[SPEAKER_08]: And if, if that kind of thing works, um, you know, I, I, I, I, but what was seven circuit reasoning? [SPEAKER_10]: Um. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm trying to remember. [SPEAKER_04]: I think it wasn't the whole panel. [SPEAKER_04]: It was only three judges. [SPEAKER_04]: One dissented.

[SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: But I think the reasoning, something of the effect of that he's got other things to do and he shouldn't necessarily have to show up every day at 6 p.m. [SPEAKER_10]: They shouldn't be vibing in the law. [SPEAKER_10]: I mean, they've got him on. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, they've made it to that. [SPEAKER_10]: I know. [SPEAKER_10]: But you know what the judge looks at it that way. [SPEAKER_10]: That he's violating the law.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, and I think it's important for us to look at it that way too. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes, it is fun that we sometimes are a little bit snarky, but the fact is, is that we shouldn't say things like how you, you still push and think that there's going to be elections. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, the law doesn't matter anymore. [SPEAKER_08]: Right, but the law does matter and there will be elections.

[SPEAKER_08]: And we need to make sure that we're saying those kinds of things because, you know, having, being snarky about it, yeah, sometimes it's fun, but the fact is is that we need to be the ones who are setting the example for everybody else.

[SPEAKER_03]: And they want us to feel hopeless and that will make them saying, Oh, there's not going to be another election, I, you know, I think the open, I think the open defiance of the law is not sitting well with the majority of people, so I mean, of course, they're going to break the law and so we just have to keep pointing it out. [SPEAKER_03]: And these judges keep having to do what they're doing.

[SPEAKER_03]: And when they, yep, and when they defy the law, and the rulings, then we keep a list of that. [SPEAKER_03]: I think Glenn Kershner was on with Stephanie today and, you know, saying that they need to keep a list. [SPEAKER_03]: So that when these Normberg-style trial start, we have a list of all of the things that they've done in the AMC followers. [SPEAKER_08]: We're wearing a Glenn next week. [SPEAKER_08]: The journey got Glenn and that is definitely the question.

[SPEAKER_08]: The biggest one that I want to ask him is about the Possecombatata stuff because if Donald Trump, as I looked it up, and as a couple of legal people that I reached out to said, that's why it looks, but as it looks, we'll ask Glenn next week. [SPEAKER_08]: If Donald Trump tells National Guard to do police action, they are not allowed to do police action because of Possecombatatus and they do, they're following an illegal order.

[SPEAKER_08]: So they are violating Possecombatatus and as myself, you know, I took a few minor legal courses. [SPEAKER_08]: I think you did too, Jody. [SPEAKER_08]: I did.

[SPEAKER_08]: But as I've looked, as we've looked, [SPEAKER_08]: It looks like there's no statute of limitations, which basically means these people if they're, for example, in their thirties, and they're going to live to their seventies, they could be arrested at any point in time for the rest of their lives for violating post-ecombatatus.

[SPEAKER_08]: So if you're an national guard, and you follow the illegal order to do some police action when you're not supposed to, at some point down the road, when we actually get a more organized government back again, which will probably be in their lifetimes, [SPEAKER_08]: their ass could end up going jail.

[SPEAKER_08]: So my personal thought would be if it's something like that that you are a member of the military or the guard and you know that it is an illegal order, it would really be who of you to not follow the illegal order otherwise it could be your ass spending five years in jail.

[SPEAKER_08]: I know that people like John Johnson last night here that he doubted that a democratic thing, a democratic administration would go after them, but I'm not [SPEAKER_10]: I definitely have to be held accountable. [SPEAKER_10]: They have to. [SPEAKER_04]: The Dems made a mistake with not going after Dick Cheney and George W Bush. [SPEAKER_04]: I agree. [SPEAKER_10]: And the way that we didn't really go after a Donald Trump, Nixon, he should be imprisoned.

[SPEAKER_04]: Nixon getting pardoned started all of this. [SPEAKER_08]: A man. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: Show to you 100%. [SPEAKER_04]: I know what you're all for. [SPEAKER_04]: And did it. [SPEAKER_04]: And I want to rip it. [SPEAKER_04]: I want to make it.

[SPEAKER_08]: There's a recent story that's been out there that we haven't talked much about that I guess there's some some one of the people who doesn't like Joe Biden is doing a let's punch the Joe Biden administration again thing but saying that Merrick Garland didn't he was most do and Biden didn't do what they were supposed to do as far as the DOJ and [SPEAKER_08]: And maybe they move slower.

[SPEAKER_08]: My personal thing is right now I'm I'd literally be a little bit more concentrated on what the Trump regime is doing as opposed to what the Biden administration did or did not do. [SPEAKER_08]: But yeah, what I'd like to have seen accountability. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, Biden was frustrated with America. [SPEAKER_10]: He was. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: He was. [SPEAKER_10]: So, I mean, I don't blame, but you know what?

[SPEAKER_10]: I hate people bashing Joe Biden. [SPEAKER_10]: I really mean he was the most progressive president in my lifetime. [SPEAKER_10]: He actually accomplished more than any other Democratic president in my lifetime. [SPEAKER_08]: He did. [SPEAKER_08]: He was fantastic. [SPEAKER_08]: And look, I love Barack Obama. [SPEAKER_08]: And I think Barack Obama had a lot of great things to do. [SPEAKER_10]: But yeah, but not as much as Joe Biden. [SPEAKER_10]: He did it for years.

[SPEAKER_10]: And I think it's a vision cast. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Barack Obama was navigating a lot. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you have to navigate the first black president. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, there's that, too. [SPEAKER_08]: All right, it is Friday night. [SPEAKER_08]: We got last call coming up. [SPEAKER_08]: I have not told that story. [SPEAKER_08]: It's my promise.

[SPEAKER_08]: And I was just not too far from the other side of the tracks, but I was on the quote unquote good side, whatever. [SPEAKER_08]: And, uh, but I had friends there and whatever, and Rustin, we had a sleepover.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, we can, you know, you got to watch Friday night videos on NBC and you have fun. [SPEAKER_08]: Rustin from, I think, his cousin got a wager board. [SPEAKER_08]: So how old are you? [SPEAKER_08]: That's fourth grade. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, it's the perfect time for a weed you bored. [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, like children play with spirits. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, right. [SPEAKER_10]: She was like a gig in the exorcist when she whipped out that weed. [SPEAKER_10]: I know.

[SPEAKER_08]: Well, we, we, we had a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a

[SPEAKER_08]: Do it again and I put my hands on his stop and and dance like all you're ruining it Rust and it's like you're laughing it up, but I'm like whatever fine. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm gonna go get a drink So I went upstairs to go get a pop which is what we call them in the Midwest suck at that [SPEAKER_08]: What is up, soda, soda pop, soda pop, soft drink, Coca-Cola, so I went upstairs to get one of those.

[SPEAKER_08]: And Rustin asks the magic Ouija board says, you know, why do you stop every time he touches it? [SPEAKER_08]: And the Ouija board puts out this wonderful little message and it says, he knows too much. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, he knows too much. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, forward, he knows too much. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm like, okay, whatever, so I get back downstairs, they tell me that, I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, bite me, let's do something else.

[SPEAKER_08]: So I don't know, I think we, you know, probably turn on the TV or whatever, because we do whatever, maybe turn on the Atari. [SPEAKER_10]: The Atari was going to say, the Atari didn't go back to the exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: So Flash forward, I'm in the Navy now, and I am in San Diego, USA's Lake Champlain, CG57, and we are in port, and you do things, whatever. [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, you live on the ship, and I live on the ship.

[SPEAKER_08]: And you're birthing it's the area where a lot of the racks are, but there's also kind of a little corner where there's a little table and there was a TV and people could do cards or whatever. [SPEAKER_08]: And I sometimes was there, but at this particular evening, I wanted to go read a book. [SPEAKER_08]: I I love to read. [SPEAKER_08]: I I had several in my locker.

[SPEAKER_08]: I had taken my book from my rack walk past the living area as we called it's up the ladder down the hall down to the mess We're nice and bright and I could read and I get there and I open the book and I'm like crap. [SPEAKER_08]: I've read this one. [SPEAKER_08]: I finished this one damn it [SPEAKER_08]: So I go back down the hall, back down the stairs, back past the living area, back to my thing.

[SPEAKER_08]: The whole time I'm doing this, each time there were some of the guys that were in my birthday area who were sitting there and they were playing with a wager board. [SPEAKER_08]: And I'm like, OK, this one. [SPEAKER_08]: And every time I walk, so I went downstairs, got my second book, my other book, which I knew I hadn't read this one.

[SPEAKER_08]: So I grabbed that book and I go past, I walk past the living area, and I go up the ladder and down the hall, back down to the mess and my book, whatever. [SPEAKER_08]: Later, I was talking to one of the guys in my birthing area that I lived with, and he said, dude, something really freaky happened. [SPEAKER_08]: And I was like, okay, what? [SPEAKER_08]: And he's like, okay, well, we were messing with the wagerware. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm like, hey, whatever.

[SPEAKER_08]: And, and he says, every time you walk past a damn thing, stop. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, okay, and he said so, I think it was Jeff, asked the wager board. [SPEAKER_08]: It was like, you know, why do you stop every time he goes past? [SPEAKER_08]: The wager board says he knows too much. [SPEAKER_10]: Shut off. [SPEAKER_10]: Have you figured out what it is you know too much about?

[SPEAKER_10]: I've never figured, I don't know what about it or having tried to figure out on it. [SPEAKER_10]: Is it national secrets? [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: I think he knows too much. [SPEAKER_10]: It was a really good game. [SPEAKER_10]: Okay. [SPEAKER_10]: That's it. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes. [SPEAKER_08]: I know what who shot JFK was meeting up. [SPEAKER_08]: I, everybody has their personal beliefs and I have my own beliefs as far as faith and spirituality.

[SPEAKER_08]: And I don't want to burden everybody with that, but I do believe to some degree in reincarnation. [SPEAKER_08]: I do know that that. [SPEAKER_08]: I know things that I, and I look up everything. [SPEAKER_08]: I've looked at everything long since before the internet. [SPEAKER_08]: I grew up in, and libraries were my friend. [SPEAKER_08]: I've always loved libraries, and encyclopedias. [SPEAKER_10]: In psychopathias, yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: And I've always asked a lot of questions.

[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, boy, my mom drove her nuts. [SPEAKER_08]: My dad, too. [SPEAKER_08]: But there are things that I know that I've known, like, [SPEAKER_08]: My dad and I, uh, back when he lived in Denver, um, so we were walking through Lotto, lower downtown. [SPEAKER_08]: And we, God, this must have been 94, I think. [SPEAKER_04]: I just left three years earlier. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, hey, okay, so yeah, so you know, you know, exactly.

[SPEAKER_08]: So we're walking through, we're walking through Lotto. [SPEAKER_08]: And my dad and I are walking. [SPEAKER_08]: And I'm like, Dad, wasn't this, whatever that particular building was, wasn't this this and wasn't this this? [SPEAKER_08]: And I just started naming the things that had been there. [SPEAKER_08]: Except they were there about a hundred years ago and I was naming the names of the businesses and what they were as we're walking by.

[SPEAKER_08]: I hadn't looked it up, I had no knowledge of it. [SPEAKER_08]: I just, my dad was like, you're getting very detailed about this, and I don't know. [SPEAKER_04]: When I first went to the London, when I was 13, my mom and I went separately from the rest of the family. [SPEAKER_04]: And so we land, we get to the hotel, and I just said, I'm going to walk around. [SPEAKER_04]: She's like, OK. And so I started, and I knew exactly where to go.

[SPEAKER_04]: And I'd never been to London in my life and I didn't study a map or anything else before the internet, too. [SPEAKER_04]: Way before this is 1980, 80. [SPEAKER_04]: Right. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, 1981. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, 80. [SPEAKER_04]: And so I'm walking around and I ended up in Soho and found my way back to where we were. [SPEAKER_04]: And this is, you know, this is a bomb city. [SPEAKER_04]: So it wasn't the grid it used to be. [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: It's not like New York or you know. [SPEAKER_04]: avenues, it's really easy to navigate around New York. [SPEAKER_04]: So I ended up far from the hotel and came back and I was just like, well, I know this town. [SPEAKER_04]: She goes, what do you mean? [SPEAKER_04]: There's just something about it. [SPEAKER_04]: I know this town. [SPEAKER_04]: And same when I went to Santa Fe the first time. [SPEAKER_04]: I was driving down from Denver to see my brother.

[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't even realize I was in the city yet because there was no city welcome to Santa Fe sign, but all of a sudden my body just was going don't be here. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, wow, that's weird. [SPEAKER_04]: And I had a great time there. [SPEAKER_04]: I visited my brother, went to the set of young guns, too. [SPEAKER_04]: It was lovely. [SPEAKER_04]: And there was just something about that town that made me euki. [SPEAKER_04]: And my mom bought a place there.

[SPEAKER_04]: I never visited. [SPEAKER_04]: I was like, no, I can't. [SPEAKER_08]: It's human beings are the world greatest pattern recognition machines. [SPEAKER_08]: And there are things that are beyond, this is, this is one of those really, what about people, what all don't want to, what about people who know foreign languages sometimes?

[SPEAKER_10]: They start speaking of, and they're, and they're from, you know, some little place in the United States and the South, and all of a sudden right [SPEAKER_10]: Swedish. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you know, children, especially usually since children and not adults because we kind of lose that the older weekend. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, my son Jimmy, I remember when he was six years old and I was dropping him off at school and he said, Mom, and I said, what he goes, I've been here before.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think I've been here before. [SPEAKER_03]: And I said, well, yeah, we're going to school. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you've been here before. [SPEAKER_03]: And he goes, no, I mean, I've been here [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: But I said, I go, you know what, I think you have been because he's always been this old soul. [SPEAKER_08]: You know. [SPEAKER_08]: People who are perceptive oftentimes pick up on these things.

[SPEAKER_08]: And this is a thing that goes with Charles Sanders Pierce. [SPEAKER_08]: C.S. [SPEAKER_08]: Pierce. [SPEAKER_08]: Father of Semiotics. [SPEAKER_08]: And there is some very high-end math that reaches out there if you guys want to research it you can find it. [SPEAKER_08]: But one of the things that he has basically documented is he, he liked to take science to the edge.

[SPEAKER_08]: And one of the things that he took it at to the edge with was some of these type of paranormal things. [SPEAKER_08]: And they know they can prove that there are energies out there that the closest thing that they can think of is they they bond to living beings and they can't really measure it. [SPEAKER_08]: So we know the stuff is there. [SPEAKER_08]: We have the math to know that it's there. [SPEAKER_08]: We don't know how it works. [SPEAKER_08]: We don't know.

[SPEAKER_08]: But so do I think that it's possible? [SPEAKER_08]: Sure. [SPEAKER_08]: Do I think do I have days of who a lot like a lot a lot, especially I can I can make that I can I can dream. [SPEAKER_08]: I can force myself to do some guided dreaming and then I can get bits and pieces. [SPEAKER_08]: There's a particular dream that I had when I was younger.

[SPEAKER_08]: I knew something bad was going to happen if I wore a particular color blue in a particular place, so I never again wore that color blue when I was young. [SPEAKER_10]: Isn't it Buddhism that believes that you're reincarnated over and over again to learn like right and to like be part of the universe?

[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, and then you can move on as soon as you've learned whatever it is in light and meant exactly as soon as you've learned whatever problems that you manifested this time or the last time or the last time. [SPEAKER_04]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_10]: Every time you learn something. [SPEAKER_04]: Right. [SPEAKER_04]: That's why I [SPEAKER_04]: when Cherna McClain is in the reincarnation playing that early favorite part because she got the fact that people made fun of her, so she did it.

[SPEAKER_04]: But defending your life is a really, really good film of you want to look at something like that. [SPEAKER_04]: I've never seen that, but I remember she was playing. [SPEAKER_08]: You're watching this way. [SPEAKER_03]: I bought all her books. [SPEAKER_08]: But for those people who say they're always like, gosh, I don't know. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, literally the spirits who were out there roaming around in this Halloween literally agree with you.

[SPEAKER_08]: They think I know way too much. [SPEAKER_08]: So, and no, I am not going to stop learning things because stopping learning things would be bad. [SPEAKER_08]: No, Karen's got these paw. [SPEAKER_08]: They're so close. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm not going to pause. [SPEAKER_08]: We're not going to pause. [SPEAKER_08]: We're going to take this to the after hours, which is where you guys should join us. [SPEAKER_08]: You can find that at the politics bar dot com.
