It's Been A Busy Week

[SPEAKER_03]: It's political, thank you, credit card. [SPEAKER_02]: You think it's a part where we won the politics bar. [SPEAKER_03]: Sean Smith Pearson showed you Hamilton. [SPEAKER_00]: Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny. [SPEAKER_08]: Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny. [SPEAKER_00]: Holy been a morning. [SPEAKER_00]: It's been a morning. [SPEAKER_00]: It's been a day. [SPEAKER_00]: It's been an evening. [SPEAKER_00]: It's been a hell of a week. [SPEAKER_00]: Holy cow.

[SPEAKER_00]: Lot of chaos this week. [SPEAKER_00]: But we are able to draw clarity from it for all of you who are joining us here at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_08]: So, and all y'all remind me not to stay up past 9 p.m. [SPEAKER_00]: on a school night. [SPEAKER_00]: That's how I was going to say. [SPEAKER_00]: No, don't you dare stay up late again because that school nights are for preparing for school the next day.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's one of the reasons I don't generally drink a whole lot on school nights because you got to wake up the next day. [SPEAKER_00]: That's why we call the school day. [SPEAKER_09]: Are you sure you go to bed at Lake? [SPEAKER_09]: Stupid o'clock and then went to bed at normal o'clock last night, which is stupid o'clock for me. [SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, yeah, yeah, you went to bed way lay, but we had a fantastic time on tell me everything with John Fuegel saying on serious XM.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you missed that and you have serious XM, you can check it out on the podcast there. [SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of podcast by the way, thank you by the way.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you're listening to the detour talking, Tennessee or progressive voices radio worldwide, wherever you want to be.

[SPEAKER_09]: And thank you to House Sparks. [SPEAKER_00]: big time was going to mention that too we were on house parks earlier today and it was a hell of a news day we're rambling you so so you stayed up late to hang out with John and then you you got a little bit later and I got about the same time around I got up around 3 a.m. [SPEAKER_09]: you got up around 6 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, somewhere on there. [SPEAKER_00]: somewhere in there, and I tried to get you stuff.

[SPEAKER_09]: And I was like so tired. [SPEAKER_09]: And I normally walk between the time I send you stuff. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: And I was like, no, take an nap. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: So while you were taking a nap, that's when they started to do the press conference about the, the, also they found Charlie Kirk, killer, whatever. [SPEAKER_00]: And so we had to juggle a whole bunch of stuff.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then we had to stop everything we went on with how, which is going on house bar worldwide is great. [SPEAKER_00]: Big thanks, of course, obviously, to John and to how and also big thanks to their producers, Chris and Thia over John's place and Andrea, yes, absolutely. [SPEAKER_00]: Big thanks to all y'all, or, you know, making us look in sound good and having a good time. [SPEAKER_00]: We, we appreciate all. [SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_09]: That was very nice of them.

[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, it's, it has been a very busy day. [SPEAKER_00]: We should get to that part of the news. [SPEAKER_00]: So the chaotic aftermath of the two shootings. [SPEAKER_00]: And we do have an update for the Colorado shooting as well. [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, let's do that now. [SPEAKER_00]: First of all, Sean was wrong. [SPEAKER_00]: and Johnny was right because thankfully the three Colorado high school shooters the shooter himself killed himself.

[SPEAKER_00]: But the other two last check are still in critical condition. [SPEAKER_00]: One has been publicly identified by authorities. [SPEAKER_00]: But we do have some more details about that Colorado high school shooter. [SPEAKER_00]: Would you be surprised, Jodie, if I told you that he was radicalized by right wing hate speech embraced [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, seriously, I'm not shocked about it. [SPEAKER_09]: And I'm sad about it.

[SPEAKER_09]: This kid needed help, obviously, um, his parents did something wrong. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know. [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's just it. [SPEAKER_00]: These parents, some people have mental health issues that their parents can help them with maybe he was one of those. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know. [SPEAKER_00]: But the systems, multiple systems, clear them. [SPEAKER_00]: Let him down and let those. [SPEAKER_00]: There are three of these people. [SPEAKER_00]: Right, exactly.

[SPEAKER_09]: Everybody that was traumatized by what he did. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: So, speaking of traumatization, the obviously, the suspect in Charlie Kirkkilling has been identified officially by officials trying to buy a dad. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he took himself in. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't necessarily like using the names of the shooters because oftentimes they do like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: But I will mention it once, authorities have named Tyler Robinson, the suspect. [SPEAKER_00]: They're holding in a jail in Utah without bond, which, obviously. [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, of course, as soon as they identified people started coming out and this is in the midst of a storm of hate speech, driven in many cases by Donald Trump himself and Maga last night, we were on John Fuckel saying show.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned to you then that I had seen this because I was I grabbed it so we'd have it for today for the news on tap, which if you missed the story, maybe guys have had your own busy week, you can check it all out for free in the news on tap at the politicsbar.com. [SPEAKER_00]: So Thursday night Trump said that we have to quote beat the hell out of the radical left lunatics.

[SPEAKER_00]: on the comfy couch of fox and fiends uh... Donald Trump first of all let out oh yeah well we we got him [SPEAKER_00]: And today, you should never do. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and he made some comments about him, too. [SPEAKER_00]: And we'll talk about why you don't do what he did, and why you don't do a cash-patel did. [SPEAKER_00]: We'll definitely talk about that today. [SPEAKER_00]: So Donald lets that out.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then he threatens the vicious radical articles on the left, claiming that they're the problem after the Kirk assassination. [SPEAKER_00]: No. [SPEAKER_00]: No. [SPEAKER_00]: So this person, the suspect in the Charlie Kirk killing, [SPEAKER_00]: from a conservative Utah family. [SPEAKER_00]: Yep. [SPEAKER_00]: They were hunters. [SPEAKER_00]: Dad still had an active hunting license, mom did not. [SPEAKER_00]: There's some still some un corroborated stuff out there.

[SPEAKER_00]: Some pictures started coming out. [SPEAKER_00]: And obviously, if you guys saw us earlier on Halespark's Mega World Wide, how put them up there? [SPEAKER_00]: There's a picture of this suspect in a Halloween customer in 2017. [SPEAKER_00]: had one of those where where Donald Trump is kind of many Donald Trump and he was standing on a shoulders weird is weird, but [SPEAKER_00]: There's another one where the suspect was mimicking a, it's a meme, you know, you know it, Jody.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if everybody here. [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if everybody here knows Pepe, the Frogs, weird green frog. [SPEAKER_00]: It became a right-wing meme. [SPEAKER_00]: Kertunis didn't necessarily want it to be, but kind of didn't. [SPEAKER_09]: When was that like, 2010 or 2012? [SPEAKER_00]: It's gone a long, yeah, it's been quite a long time, yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, the thing is, a specific subset of the right has taken even more ownership of it, specifically Nick Fuentes, and the very far right nut jobs, white nationalistic extremists. [SPEAKER_00]: And if you didn't know, you said this yesterday, Jody. [SPEAKER_00]: You're talking about Laura Limer, remember?

[SPEAKER_09]: and how she was blasting um she was blasting Charlie Kirk for a long time because he was he wanted the Epstein files released and she's like he's no longer a trumper and she started a scrub. [SPEAKER_09]: her tweets about it. [SPEAKER_00]: That seems Charlie was killed right right well Nick Fuentes and Charlie Kirk have had a big hate fest between the two of them for quite a long time too.

[SPEAKER_00]: Told you just because they're all right wing nut jobs doesn't mean that they all are on the same bus. [SPEAKER_00]: They hate each other's guts. [SPEAKER_09]: Some do well. [SPEAKER_00]: And apparently the suspect was mimicking a particular peppy the frog meme that has become very popular among the Nick Fuentes crowd.

[SPEAKER_00]: and several people who know some of the online stuff said there may be some ties to Nick Fuentez and then that would explain why because Nick Fuentez hated Charlie Kirk and then you go oh okay but long and short this suspect had absolutely nothing to do with left was not a liberal no not even close was was registered nonpartisan which you can do in some states you can do it in Nebraska you can do it in California you can do it in Utah that's where they

[SPEAKER_00]: But long and short, this has nothing to do with being liberal. [SPEAKER_00]: What it has to do is being radicalized by right wing hate mongers. [SPEAKER_05]: Yep. [SPEAKER_00]: And guess what? [SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly who killed another right wing hate mongers. [SPEAKER_09]: And now the right wing will just never talk of it again. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, and the media already, um, earlier this afternoon, uh, I was thinking, oh, they'd be on this for a while.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, the mainstream media is already as soon as it's MAGA on MAGA violence, they're like, and moving on. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, we'll do updates, but we'll move on. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're moving on. [SPEAKER_00]: We don't need to talk about it. [SPEAKER_00]: It's MAGA on MAGA. [SPEAKER_00]: It's nothing important. [SPEAKER_00]: Nothing to see here, right? [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: They move on very quickly.

[SPEAKER_00]: And look, there is plenty of stuff to move on to. [SPEAKER_00]: This is one that we didn't have. [SPEAKER_00]: I just got it into the news on tap here this afternoon. [SPEAKER_00]: After we talked to Hal, I don't know if you've seen it. [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, there was one immigrant killed in an Ice Age and injured in an immigration arrest near Chicago. [SPEAKER_00]: So I did not see that.

[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, my God. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's we we got the live blogs if there are live updates. [SPEAKER_00]: You guys can check that in the news on tap as well. [SPEAKER_00]: There is still a 12 hour protest going on our friend Kat Abogazala has been part of that at the the ice facility there as has Karen from Chicago. [SPEAKER_00]: We really talk to her. [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, because we want to update from Karen on that. [SPEAKER_00]: See what's going on there.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's more news with Trump dynamics as well. [SPEAKER_00]: Some bad economic news which [SPEAKER_00]: kind of new was common. [SPEAKER_00]: And there's some interesting foreign news too. [SPEAKER_00]: I'll just say this. [SPEAKER_00]: We are screwing up when it comes to democracy. [SPEAKER_09]: No kidding. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Brazilian Supreme Court has now sentenced former president, Jair Bolsonaro, to more than 27 years in prison for their coup attempt for a coup attempt.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, good. [SPEAKER_09]: We should do that. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, wait. [SPEAKER_09]: We couldn't.

[SPEAKER_00]: We could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have, we could have

[SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Also, there's some other stuff going on with the foreign stuff as well. [SPEAKER_00]: There's so much news today. [SPEAKER_00]: One of the reasons that we put all this stuff in there at the news on tap for you guys is so that you can, in fact, take a look at it at your leisure. [SPEAKER_00]: It's great. [SPEAKER_00]: We put the news on tap there so that it's free.

[SPEAKER_00]: You got a busy day, you go, you have fun, you want to come to the bar here, you're at the end of the day, but you kind of want to still be informed, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: We put little video clips in there too, because some of those are important. [SPEAKER_00]: Some of them funny.

[SPEAKER_00]: I stuck in a one from the Daily Show last night where they were making fun of Trump threatening the left, even though we know the volume violence is from the right. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't waste again. [SPEAKER_09]: And they just went on an Emmy, does he light it? [SPEAKER_09]: I think it's her name. [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. [SPEAKER_00]: And she went to the end.

[SPEAKER_09]: I would go with an ounce or an ounce and a half because two ounces is a lot of booze [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so an ounce of vodka. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay, let's see her. [UNKNOWN]: There you go. [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. [SPEAKER_09]: Hello. [SPEAKER_09]: I have a giant cat. [SPEAKER_09]: See? [SPEAKER_00]: It's not so much that she's a giant cat. [SPEAKER_00]: She's just, it's like that old joke about being closer. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, objects in the review mirror are closer than they fear.

[SPEAKER_09]: They fear. [SPEAKER_00]: Objects in the camera are closer than they fear. [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, she looks like a panther. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, and she is black. [SPEAKER_00]: So she could be the black. [SPEAKER_09]: No, she's a gray panther. [SPEAKER_09]: She's a gray tuxy. [SPEAKER_09]: The boy is a black Panther. [SPEAKER_00]: It's just that the shot is, you know, makes a noise. [SPEAKER_00]: It's not perfectly well lit. [SPEAKER_00]: It's blown a bar.

[SPEAKER_00]: But he died again. [SPEAKER_00]: We're on a bar. [SPEAKER_00]: But what am I? [SPEAKER_00]: What are on video? [SPEAKER_09]: People are going to be like, what is that giant thing? [SPEAKER_00]: Which we have been practicing with the video stuff. [SPEAKER_00]: And that will be happening soon as well. [SPEAKER_00]: Back to the news on tap for the day. [SPEAKER_00]: So, um, the hate speech stuff Donald Trump obviously as you mentioned, uh, blaming the left not the left's fault.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, but it is causing all kinds of problems. [SPEAKER_00]: Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle have been fearing for their safety, um, representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez cancel her stuff in North Carolina. [SPEAKER_00]: I guess, Nancy Mays canceled everything, whatever.

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but look, yes, these people actually have security and they're still concerned and rightfully so because of the the hateful speech that's out there, um, there has been mentions of civil war have surged online, but guess where the sources are mostly, do you think they're more from the left or more from the right, Jody? [SPEAKER_09]: Uh, what hand do I use? [SPEAKER_09]: Uh, right. [SPEAKER_00]: Jody is right.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, look it's the comments claiming that this all of this violence is coming from Left, it's not and it never has been not too long times 60 years ago, maybe but not now [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you've been on Steph's show. [SPEAKER_00]: You've been, you've been a guest on Steph's show. [SPEAKER_00]: You worked there for, what, two and a half years. [SPEAKER_09]: There were two years as her producer, but I've been on her show for almost 10. [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[SPEAKER_00]: So. [SPEAKER_00]: So you've been privy to, you've been aware of some of the, the death threats and things. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: And she's Ron literally told her you're not doing any more events for a while. [SPEAKER_00]: Right now, recently, yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Like once that happened, once Charlie Kirk got killed, murdered, Ron texted her and she didn't know what had happened yet because she was, you know, not watching the news.

[SPEAKER_09]: And she's like, why am I not doing any social events? [SPEAKER_09]: And she didn't know why he texted that to her and then she found out why. [SPEAKER_09]: And yeah, she's not going to do any public events for quite a while. [SPEAKER_09]: And I don't blame her. [SPEAKER_00]: And I've said this for years. [SPEAKER_00]: I've said this here in the bar, I believe.

[SPEAKER_00]: Virtually, everybody I know in mainstream left-leaning political talk, all of the principles, as they're called, all of the people whose names you know, Stephanie, Tom, Randy, have all had, I can't, the number of legitimate death threats, not even just the lame ass ones, where it's some loser on Twitter who goes, [SPEAKER_00]: But ones where you actually have to be concerned. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, when the FBI is called, when the if the cops are called, when you need to pay attention.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, but it's not just that, it's producers, too. [SPEAKER_00]: And I know because I literally had to deal with that. [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know if you have, but it wouldn't. [SPEAKER_09]: So far, it's not so much. [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for that. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm sure Chris has, and I'm sure Travis did. [SPEAKER_00]: And I know Sean over at Tom Show has. [SPEAKER_00]: Look, this is, this is, we all have fun of the bar here.

[SPEAKER_00]: We'd love to have fun with you guys. [SPEAKER_00]: But there are people who really do get very scared about the things that we do. [SPEAKER_00]: They get scared about us telling the truth. [SPEAKER_00]: They get scared about us laughing and having fun.

[SPEAKER_00]: They get scared about LGBTQ people and anybody who is a minority, black Hispanic, Asian, South Asian, Native American, [SPEAKER_00]: that terrifies them and they have gone to links that are way out of part of the reason that that I am still a big fan of Kamla Harris. [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I told you this. [SPEAKER_00]: Um, so. [SPEAKER_00]: When I was on Randy show, this was second time, I think, was down in Florida. [SPEAKER_00]: I got a very horrible death threat.

[SPEAKER_00]: I won't go into it, but it was extremely graphic. [SPEAKER_00]: Had to get, sorry, had to get people involved, the law enforcement officials involved, and they weren't that much help on the local level. [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I had, uh, I still have a cousin, um, uh, but he at the time was working for Sprint. [SPEAKER_00]: And that's who I had for my cell phone service and, um, uh, oh, they could track this person.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he was, he was in the division that that was able to track and he tracked it. [SPEAKER_00]: And it was somebody who was actually spoofing their number and trying to make it seem like it was coming from Vegas, but it actually was coming from California. [SPEAKER_00]: And I was in Florida. [SPEAKER_00]: And this was a legitimate death threat. [SPEAKER_00]: And when you do that, that's a federal crime. [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely.

[SPEAKER_00]: But the Florida cops wouldn't really do anything. [SPEAKER_00]: So I contacted the Florida Attorney General's Office. [SPEAKER_00]: Um, Kamala Harris was at the time the Attorney General of California. [SPEAKER_09]: She was a hell of an issue.

[SPEAKER_00]: And the people in her office, she and the people in her office, basically sent a very nasty, nasty grant to this guy and said, we have everything and, you know, [SPEAKER_00]: But what we're going to ask you to do is to never, ever, ever contact anyone from that show, ever again. [SPEAKER_00]: Or, oh, I will pin your ass to the wall. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: Anyone away? [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Which is great.

[SPEAKER_09]: Now, she was, she actually prosecuted somebody that was sort of in my family. [SPEAKER_09]: So. [SPEAKER_00]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_00]: You know, mess around. [SPEAKER_00]: Nope. [SPEAKER_00]: Come on, don't mess around. [SPEAKER_00]: Nope. [SPEAKER_00]: But that's, uh, look, that's, you know, she did her job, and it's great. [SPEAKER_00]: But it is scary sometimes, the, the, the links that we have to go to just to be able to have fun to talk about to, to be ourselves.

[SPEAKER_09]: To bounce your boobies. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, as you used to do on Randy's show on a Friday on a Friday because that's what's true.

[SPEAKER_00]: But and I don't I don't want this to be burdened on anybody else in the bar and I don't want this to but but this is the kind of thing that so when when we talk about the right wing saying that these threats come from the left part of the reason that many of us are so vehement about it is because we have direct personal experience [SPEAKER_00]: I I'm one of the few people who worked in both left leading talk and right leading talk. [SPEAKER_09]: Same with Chris.

[SPEAKER_09]: He did both as well. [SPEAKER_00]: We work. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think there's like three of us me and I think there's an iron two of them. [SPEAKER_09]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, um, but when I worked, um, on the lower anger, I'm show. [SPEAKER_00]: And I would tell them this. [SPEAKER_00]: And I would tell them I said, pretty everybody left. [SPEAKER_00]: We're all aware of this. [SPEAKER_00]: Where this is, this is just part of the job.

[SPEAKER_00]: We don't like it, but we all know it. [SPEAKER_00]: And they were like, well, no, we haven't had this. [SPEAKER_00]: And this was pre-trop. [SPEAKER_00]: This was like 2015, early 2016. [SPEAKER_00]: And they're like, well, we just haven't experienced that. [SPEAKER_00]: We just don't know. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, you guys are crazy. [SPEAKER_00]: And we said, no, you guys are spreading hate. [SPEAKER_00]: You guys tell your people to hate us.

[SPEAKER_00]: You guys tell your people to come after us. [SPEAKER_00]: But Hammer and Tongue, sometimes literally. [SPEAKER_09]: Literally. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: And the people who are actually the most violent, the ones who are, you know, you can look it up in the FBI records going back. [SPEAKER_00]: They do their regular things and they always say, you know, yes, extremists are a problem, but the right way extremists are far more of a problem.

[SPEAKER_00]: Christopher Ray said so. [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_00]: It's not a both sides thing. [SPEAKER_00]: Nope. [SPEAKER_00]: So when people like us get pissed.

[SPEAKER_00]: when we're saying don't both sides it we're saying don't both sides it because look we've been on the other end of it and it's not both sides now there's a lot more people on the right these days who are is a who are experiencing hate but as we've seen from Charlie Kirk they hate that they're experiencing are from other people on the right exactly it's not the left targeting them which [SPEAKER_00]: Does it make sense to you, Jody, the caricature that they make of us on the left?

[SPEAKER_00]: Where they say, well, you guys are about to earthy, crunchy, free love, hippie. [SPEAKER_00]: He huggers, right, who also want to kill us all.

[SPEAKER_00]: that doesn't make sense right it's it's like when they would say well you know Joe Biden is old and confused and you know he couldn't count his eyeballs and get the same number twice and also he's diabolical and evil and he has a plan to destroy yes he's playing 17-dimensional chess but he's daughtering right and I'm like no that no no no because you can't have [SPEAKER_09]: But their cognitive dissonance is so strong that they believe that they do.

[SPEAKER_00]: And they're right wing media that claims it's news that's not news. [SPEAKER_00]: And we talked about that with how exactly exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: And that's and that is part of the reason why if you as a normal person, if you are, what did John call it last night, team good, team positive? [SPEAKER_09]: And Bob also calls us the normies. [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, exactly.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love the, I love the Cesca Colors that you're, we are, we are the ones that the people who are your non-Trump Republicans, your independence, your centrist, your, even some of your corporate leftists, and your, you know, your pragmatic leftists, and your further left of liberals. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's a big tent we got on our side. [SPEAKER_00]: But one of the things we tend not to do, yeah, we get mad sometimes.

[SPEAKER_00]: And man, we can use some colorful world, colorful words, David. [SPEAKER_00]: Ooh. [SPEAKER_09]: We did today on House show. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, we use some because, you know, that's it's not broadcast. [SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, we're also, you know, I'm left especially, we tend to be, you know, great with words and colorful descriptions. [SPEAKER_00]: But we don't tend to enact violence because in general, we tend to realize that violence is a bad thing.

[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't, it doesn't get us what we want. [SPEAKER_09]: It doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't move your point forward. [SPEAKER_09]: It just moves you back. [SPEAKER_00]: right. [SPEAKER_00]: It's it's not it's not progress. [SPEAKER_09]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: Which is the whole point of us on the left. [SPEAKER_00]: So I agree. [SPEAKER_00]: I agree.

[SPEAKER_00]: I've been really pleased with what Karen with what catabacazella with what the folks there in Chicago have been doing, protesting that ice facility, bringing along knitting. [SPEAKER_00]: And so and yet if you go to cats feed from earlier today, they picked her up and practically threw her on the side one. [SPEAKER_00]: She's tiny. [SPEAKER_00]: She's very tiny, she's very tiny, so it's not, I could literally carry her on my shoulder if I need to do.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like pick her up and have her sit and carry her on my shoulder. [SPEAKER_00]: I can probably do that to you too. [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's, you know, I got big shoulders. [SPEAKER_00]: whatever. [SPEAKER_00]: But I have been really proud of how Chicago and Illinois residents been handling it. [SPEAKER_00]: And we got to say, you folks in Memphis, you guys need to take some lessons from the folks in LA.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, Matt. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm Jody and her team at the end of the bar there for the folks in DC and our friend Jared Rizzi, definitely there. [SPEAKER_00]: And we need to, you know, pass those on folks in Chicago because it looks like Trump says he's going to be trying to send the National Guard to Memphis for his cost playing on crime. [SPEAKER_00]: So, which is [SPEAKER_09]: But Tennessee is going to probably embrace that.

[SPEAKER_00]: There are a lot more liberals in Tennessee than people think. [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think they are. [SPEAKER_09]: I think the government embrace it. [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, it's the power. [SPEAKER_00]: It's the power. [SPEAKER_00]: The power is that the powers that be will okay it. [SPEAKER_00]: But I don't necessarily know that the people themselves. [SPEAKER_09]: I agree. [SPEAKER_09]: I don't think the people, especially Memphis.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, big kudos, by the way, to claw makers in California, they did pass a bill to ban ice agents from wearing masks. [SPEAKER_00]: So that's not just a city law, like it is in Chicago now, or it came from the mayor. [SPEAKER_00]: This is a state law in California. [SPEAKER_00]: No more playing. [SPEAKER_00]: You want to be, you want to be a monster, show your face. [SPEAKER_05]: Yep. [SPEAKER_00]: Because I way, everybody going to know exactly who you are.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yep. [SPEAKER_00]: So there are ways to fight these things. [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, we're trying to help you out there fight this shambling half a half ashes and let us out there because, yeah, it ain't great. [SPEAKER_00]: Look, there is something that is great though. [SPEAKER_00]: We have a great drink of the day on your Friday evening. [SPEAKER_00]: It is, um... It's dessert. [SPEAKER_09]: It's like, and, um... Sweet, sweet, sweet, and yummy.

[SPEAKER_00]: Jody um it is definitely it's it's Friday night it's been a long week [SPEAKER_00]: We need something that is really nice and really sweet and brings all the girls and boys and all the personal ways to the art. [SPEAKER_00]: For those of you who remember that song was it's I had to look it up. [SPEAKER_00]: I had to look up 2003 that yeah, that's been a while from that song from police. [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's great. [SPEAKER_09]: That was born the same year that song came out.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, seriously. [SPEAKER_09]: Or maybe a year earlier because she's going to be 23 this month. [SPEAKER_09]: So yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, she's so young. [SPEAKER_09]: I have granted nieces older than she is so we're just going to stop right there. [UNKNOWN]: Wow. [SPEAKER_00]: Wow. [SPEAKER_00]: Wow. [SPEAKER_00]: But look, if you do remember that, it happens to be part of the drink of the day. [SPEAKER_00]: What is the drink of the day?

[SPEAKER_00]: And what is the reason for the drink of the day? [SPEAKER_09]: The drink of the day is called Death by Chocolate. [SPEAKER_09]: Because it is national's chocolate milkshake day today. [SPEAKER_00]: Excellent. [SPEAKER_00]: Hence the reference to Khaleesi's song Milk Shake. [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: And so you know what I think you can probably make a good milk shake at your house and I can make a good shake at my house, too, but here at the bar, damn right.

[SPEAKER_00]: This one's better than yours. [SPEAKER_00]: It's totally better than yours. [SPEAKER_09]: It's so much hotter than yours, too. [SPEAKER_09]: And cool kind of way. [SPEAKER_00]: Jody is right. [SPEAKER_00]: So what do we need for this one? [SPEAKER_09]: We need a blender. [SPEAKER_09]: because we're going to shake it up. [SPEAKER_09]: We need crushed ice, which you can make in the blender. [SPEAKER_09]: Fire it to that if you need to. [SPEAKER_00]: I make sense.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, take the ice, put it in, blend it, then take the ice out and you have a pile of crushed ice. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: And then you need to pre-chilled hurricane glass because it's a pretty drink, an ounce of vodka, one and a half ounces of Irish cream lacure, which is very heavy, an ounce of dark cran de cacao lacure, which is also [SPEAKER_09]: And then there's a more chocolate, three scoops of quality, chocolate ice cream.

[SPEAKER_00]: What is your favorite ice cream, Jodie? [SPEAKER_09]: Bryers. [SPEAKER_09]: I think, because it's made with actual milk. [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, if you can get it in the store, definitely it's Bryers. [SPEAKER_09]: Because it's milk or cream, and then whatever flavor, and that's pretty much it. [SPEAKER_00]: Personally, though, I have another favorite, the University of Nebraska Lincoln Dairy Store. [SPEAKER_00]: I know.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I mentioned Nebraska again, but it's also one of my favorite places, and they have an absolutely fantastic dairy store, and it's there's this chocolate ice cream there anyway. [SPEAKER_00]: It would be perfect for me. [SPEAKER_09]: I love thrifties, but they're gone. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, those used to be fun. [SPEAKER_09]: I miss the rifties. [SPEAKER_09]: So, what you do is you combine all of these things. [SPEAKER_09]: You preach all the hurricane glass, like we said.

[SPEAKER_09]: And you blend all the ingredients with the seven ounce scoop of crushed ice, seven ounces of crushed ice kids. [SPEAKER_00]: Not too much, not too much. [SPEAKER_00]: Not too much. [SPEAKER_09]: It's basically a glass full. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: And then you blend that all. [SPEAKER_09]: And then you pour it into your hurricane glass. [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I would recommend blending it twice because you want it nice and smooth.

[SPEAKER_09]: You want to be able to drink it properly with a straw, potentially. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: As opposed to making it too thick. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: This isn't a malt. [SPEAKER_09]: No, it's not a malt. [SPEAKER_09]: And you want it just to be because we didn't add malt to it. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm not a malt person. [SPEAKER_09]: Do you like malt? [SPEAKER_00]: You know, some days I do some days I don't. [SPEAKER_00]: It kind of depends on the mood.

[SPEAKER_09]: My dad liked malt. [SPEAKER_00]: I like them, you know, if you have the right burger with it, you know, burger fries and malt, yes, I'm very, very, you know, old fashioned American. [SPEAKER_09]: I was always chocolate shake, never a chocolate malt person. [SPEAKER_00]: Yep. [SPEAKER_00]: I could do it, but I can do it in one. [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, I didn't like a malt meal. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, malt one is not bad. [SPEAKER_00]: I love that.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, depending on the flavor, but malt in meal is not part of this drink. [SPEAKER_00]: But there is, this is a very good drink of the day, death by chocolate. [SPEAKER_00]: If you missed the drink of the day any part of it, you missed it. [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you maybe you didn't subscribe yet. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry about it. [SPEAKER_00]: If you subscribe tonight, you can still get the drink of the day for today and everyone we've done in the past. [SPEAKER_00]: So many.

[SPEAKER_00]: Check them out. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: The politics bar.com. [SPEAKER_09]: Five days a week. [SPEAKER_09]: We have five different drinks a week. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, look, you know, 52 weeks. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I don't know what we'll do in December holidays. [SPEAKER_00]: We'll figure that out when we get there. [SPEAKER_00]: We will. [SPEAKER_00]: All right, so news of the day, there is more news of the day.

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I got to say this one, Trumponomics is not doing well at all. [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, grocery inflation is now the highest since 2022. [SPEAKER_00]: And remember Joe Biden, Commelaheers and the Democrats brought that down. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, now Trump's tariffs are making you more expensive again. [SPEAKER_09]: Shocked face. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I bet you won't be shocked either.

[SPEAKER_00]: At this one, the consumer confidence for the U.S. [SPEAKER_00]: has dropped for the second straight month in September as inflation fears grow. [SPEAKER_00]: Shocked pace. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's, we could say we told you so. [SPEAKER_00]: And most of you here in the bar would be like, dude, I was with you on that. [SPEAKER_00]: But the idea is that you then need to go out and tell your friends and their friends, because you don't want them to fairly soon.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're going to run some of the people go, I don't believe that, you go, well, [SPEAKER_00]: look if you subscribe to you know the news on tap for free you don't already know that there's a story we talked about on how to show earlier today in L.A. [SPEAKER_00]: where this child has died from a rare measles complication I kind of know I was glad that you sent me the story just because I think I think it points out what how pointed out earlier

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, for those people who maybe weren't over at House Place, would we were talking earlier? [SPEAKER_09]: It basically, this child got measles before he could get vaccinated. [SPEAKER_06]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: And then years later, succumbed because of measles. [SPEAKER_06]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: And it's like, and now people don't want to vaccinate their, he couldn't get vaccinated because he was too young before he, you know, so that's a problematic anyway.

[SPEAKER_09]: because he was too young. [SPEAKER_09]: So it's not his parents fault per se, right. [SPEAKER_09]: But other people's fault that he got it. [SPEAKER_00]: That's how herd immunity is supposed to work. [SPEAKER_00]: There are people who are infants and the elderly or people who are immunocompromised and they can't necessarily get certain vaccines.

[SPEAKER_00]: And the way that vaccines work is when a high enough percentage of the population is vaccinated against a particular disease. [SPEAKER_00]: It actually creates a shield for everybody, yes, the vaccinated, but also those few who are unvaccinated. [SPEAKER_09]: Or who can't? [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, it's like a friend of mine during COVID. [SPEAKER_09]: who also unfriended me later.

[SPEAKER_09]: But during COVID, he said, hey, I can't get vaccinated because I'm, you know, why are you saying all this stuff about people that aren't getting vaccinated? [SPEAKER_09]: I said, I'm protecting people like you. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: Anybody that is not like you must get vaccinated. [SPEAKER_09]: And how dare they not to protect you.

[SPEAKER_09]: And it was like, it just went over his head for some [SPEAKER_00]: There, a lot of this media stuff has really poisoned a lot of people's friends, and it's, and look, as we get more unfunctional government, there's another article in the news on tap, the Trump administration destroyed $10 million in contraceptives for the poorest countries to protect the, quote unquote, unborn, that's not going to, no, any, it helps nobody.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: And that's the thing, um, government, when it works, [SPEAKER_00]: helps everybody. [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. [SPEAKER_00]: Media. [SPEAKER_00]: When it's done properly, news media. [SPEAKER_00]: When it's done properly, helps everybody. [SPEAKER_00]: There's way too much news media this week who has been both sides. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: These gun attacks. [SPEAKER_00]: They always both sides.

[SPEAKER_00]: But more than ever, because the target was obviously, you know, right wing talking head. [SPEAKER_00]: And that's just crap. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: There's only one side that's doing it folks. [SPEAKER_00]: And yes, there are exceptions to every rules. [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not saying out of the seven, but almost eight billion people on the planet earth, there's an end of us yes. [SPEAKER_00]: That there aren't violent lefties. [SPEAKER_00]: Of course they are.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: But you can't pick out the exception and say, Jesus, no, that's why there are exceptions and rules. [SPEAKER_00]: Exceptions are exceptions because they're not the rule. [SPEAKER_09]: It's like when a woman commits mass murder or a serial killer, that's the exception to the rule. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: You can't then say, well, see, also who's all serial killers, that's murderous or women. [SPEAKER_09]: No, I leave war notes with the exception.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: And Charlie Staring was exceptional when she was, wasn't she? [SPEAKER_00]: She's great. [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, Emmy awards coming up this week. [SPEAKER_00]: I was slightly different, but okay. [SPEAKER_00]: Do you have any favorites for the Emmys come up this Sunday? [SPEAKER_09]: I'm an Emmy voter.

[SPEAKER_00]: So you can't really say I like what I like what we've got a piece in the entertainment section in the news on tap pardon me. [SPEAKER_00]: I need another drink. [SPEAKER_00]: There is a note in there that says who will likely win and who may be probably should win. [SPEAKER_00]: So you could check that out as well. [SPEAKER_00]: W Emmy playoffs, New York is obviously aiming to repeat. [SPEAKER_00]: Minnesota. [SPEAKER_00]: They the links could possibly do some stuff there.

[SPEAKER_00]: You can check out that story as well and Aaron judge Major League baseball he hit his 360 first home run to tie Joe Joe Demagio for fourth place Wow, that's that's big. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, no and so is Aaron judge. [SPEAKER_00]: He's what like seven feet tall He's well, that's easy then for him to just kind of click Bangping head another one me [SPEAKER_00]: He is a good player, but, you know, I'm not, I'm just not really a Yankees fan, you know, I'm a Dodger fan, so.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know, and you don't have to worry about that, because you're, you're dodging to be like, oh yes, we are, we are perfect. [SPEAKER_09]: And Carlos Salas Rocky would be like, but they pay for it, well, yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, they do. [SPEAKER_09]: I don't like how it's done, but hey, [SPEAKER_00]: this is true. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm with Carlos on how it's done, but I'm also right.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, look, you can cheer for your team and still not always like the way the situation is. [SPEAKER_00]: Look, the Emmys are going to be on CBS. [SPEAKER_00]: I am having the issues with CBS, obviously, being taken over by the L. S. [SPEAKER_00]: But that's why we suck a clip for the Emmy Awards preview of CBS mornings in there today. [SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of the Elisans, Paramount Skydance is now preparing a new Elisans back bid for Warner Bros. [SPEAKER_00]: Discovery.

[SPEAKER_00]: Not good, absolutely horrible, and there are a number of people. [SPEAKER_00]: We mentioned it briefly yesterday, but there are a number of people, I think, I think we're going to see a lot more splits among the folks on the right. [SPEAKER_00]: And there are a lot of them that are there with us, they're with us good folks on the anti-corporateism. [SPEAKER_00]: They don't like them in Apolis. [SPEAKER_00]: They're anti-benopolis sick. [SPEAKER_09]: They should be.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm hoping that some good people like Elizabeth Warren will be able to control some of the folks to vote against it because from a right to vote against it. [SPEAKER_00]: Because yeah, this is a good one. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, technically there are laws against it. [SPEAKER_09]: We just aren't enforcing them. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of like some of the gun laws.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: There are, there are rules about the monopolistic behavior and we definitely should enforce those because we should not have one great big corporate media corporation that owns all of the entertainment and all of the news companies because that don't work for anybody. [SPEAKER_09]: It's in the Sherman anti-trust laws. [SPEAKER_09]: Was that it?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, if you have, if you have the right president and right congress in there and good age, you absolutely can go further on the Sherman Anti-Trust laws and we've been going in a long time. [SPEAKER_00]: And we should. [SPEAKER_09]: We should. [SPEAKER_09]: It's bad that we haven't. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: All right. [SPEAKER_00]: We have you need something. [SPEAKER_00]: I need another drink.

[SPEAKER_00]: So we're gonna do we're gonna go make some more drinks We're gonna get Karen and Anita in here for blue politics and we're gonna go over more of the news on tap We are so glad that all of you are here with us on a Friday night. [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for coming in for more ever you happen to be [SPEAKER_00]: and joining us here at the politics bar.

[SPEAKER_00]: The politics bar, and you'll find this more about it. [SPEAKER_00]: We'll be in. [SPEAKER_00]: All right, drink for me, drink for you, and drink for these folks. [SPEAKER_05]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_03]: It's political, thinking, radical.

[SPEAKER_02]: You think it's a part of what you want, the politics part. [SPEAKER_03]: Shotsmith, Pearson, Jodie, Hamilton. [SPEAKER_09]: Jodie! [SPEAKER_09]: No! [UNKNOWN]: Haha. [SPEAKER_09]: How's your heart just frog in your throat? [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, the frog in my throat, uh, I gave him a beer and he's fine now. [SPEAKER_00]: He's actually left my throat. [SPEAKER_00]: He's sitting in the corner. [SPEAKER_00]: Right on.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, look, you give a free beer to people and they will do almost and this is something I know from years of music radio where if you would say something like free beer just take your clothes off and run down the street and all of a sudden you'd get these people going. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't ask me whether that happened or not. [SPEAKER_09]: It's not in New Orleans, it's a very normal. [SPEAKER_00]: No, there was not in New Orleans, but yeah, it is a Friday night.

[SPEAKER_00]: We are glad you're listening. [SPEAKER_00]: If you happen to be listening in New Orleans, that's fine. [SPEAKER_00]: If you happen to be listening in Minneapolis, say, Paul, on AM950, we thank you for that. [SPEAKER_00]: If you are listening on a detour talk in Tennessee, thank you as well. [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you are listening on WCPT in Chicago, thank you. [SPEAKER_00]: Or if you're listening at progressive voices radio worldwide, thank you.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if you're listening, [SPEAKER_00]: remotely, maybe you're listening on tuning in in Georgia. [SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry, Georgia now, Radio will be coming soon. [SPEAKER_00]: Really part of that as well. [SPEAKER_00]: So, and thank you, by the way, all you future people, don't want to ignore you. [SPEAKER_00]: We love you. [SPEAKER_09]: We love that. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: Many of them actually pay us money and work. [SPEAKER_09]: They do.

[SPEAKER_09]: We like that about them. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh goodness. [SPEAKER_00]: So there's plenty of other stuff in the news today. [SPEAKER_00]: We were talking a little bit about some of Trump's comments as well. [SPEAKER_00]: Some of his other stuff on the comfy couch this morning.

[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, if you're looking for an update on the shutdown fight, it looks like [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to put my money on Schumer on any of this, but it looks like Schumer knows that there are Republicans in the House who will absolutely refuse to vote for the extension of the ACA. [SPEAKER_00]: And Schumer isn't going for a version of the ACA extension, the Democrats really want. [SPEAKER_00]: So it looks like he's kind of throwing a little bit of a bone out there.

[SPEAKER_00]: So then Democrats can say, Hey, we said if you do this, you do it. [SPEAKER_00]: But since you're not screw you, so. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, that's just saying that potentially good politics. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: That's, yeah, it's, look, I won't 100% say that he's doing, but we will. [SPEAKER_00]: We'll see. [SPEAKER_09]: We'll see soon enough. [SPEAKER_00]: There is some good politics going on in New York.

[SPEAKER_00]: And some people are, oh, you know, and yes, Bloomberg in the Democratic primary in was that 2020. [SPEAKER_09]: Twenty six. [SPEAKER_00]: 16 was no, no, I think it was 2020. [SPEAKER_00]: I think it was before the before the pandemic started.

[SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_00]: and uh... and uh... and uh... uh... and it was war in just totally dunked on him which was beautiful she was great oh yes i remember that now uh... yeah i remember that it was twenty-one limber has the money blimber has a lot of money and the fact that mendedani is meeting with him just shows you know look he's a he's a smart politician i think he'll make an excellent mayor for New York City to my my home i'd love to vote for him

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, we do have another story. [SPEAKER_00]: We mentioned a little bit briefly. [SPEAKER_00]: Was it last night's on John Show or was it here at the bar? [SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember that Republican Josh Kraft is any of this campaign for Boston Mayor. [SPEAKER_00]: So Mayor Michelle Wu, current mayor of Boston, looks like she's going to run on a post. [SPEAKER_00]: Yay. [SPEAKER_00]: Awesome. [SPEAKER_00]: So let's see here.

[SPEAKER_00]: So there are a couple of foreign things we should get to. [SPEAKER_00]: And then some of the Trump hate stuff because that's that's important. [SPEAKER_00]: Pollan told Donald Trump that the Russian drone incident was not a mistake. [SPEAKER_00]: He was claiming it was.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure his boss of LAD told him to say that, but in Gaza news, the U.N. [SPEAKER_00]: General Assembly, including the Arab states, is looking to publicly support a Palestinian state at their next meeting, which is coming up very soon here. [SPEAKER_00]: As long as it's Hamas, a Hamas for governments. [SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_09]: I agree with that.

[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of the Arab states like you know what we're tired of these jerks so yeah they're even so it it looks like that will actually be a real thing and we'll probably go through at the UN which is that's that's kind of cool I'm pretty I'm pretty so if Israel keeps attacking the West Bank then look that would be a real problem so [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, it's, it's, it's a Netanyahu, I'm just gonna, that's the biggest problem with Israel right now is Netanyahu.

[SPEAKER_00]: So he's, he's not exactly my, let's just say that he is the Donald Trump of Israel. [SPEAKER_09]: He's not gold. [SPEAKER_09]: He's, he's just, he sucks. [SPEAKER_09]: He's terrible for them and I'm sad for that country that they have him. [SPEAKER_00]: Yep. [SPEAKER_00]: Yep. [SPEAKER_00]: And so it is interesting to note that democracy does work and Brazil just showed everybody how it did.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's how my God I wish they had the Brazilian Supreme Court sentence former president, Jair Bolsonaro, to more than 27 years in prison for his coup attempt. [SPEAKER_06]: Good. [SPEAKER_00]: Which is great. [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, fantastic stories there. [SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk more about those. [SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk more about the the Trump hate thing coming up. [SPEAKER_00]: But I am seeing the one and only Karen and she's here early. [SPEAKER_00]: Come and in.

[SPEAKER_00]: Look, you know, they're pretty picture. [SPEAKER_00]: There are three women that I can say this about and two of them are here in the bar with me. [SPEAKER_00]: Karen is actually just coming. [SPEAKER_00]: There she is. [SPEAKER_00]: There she is. [SPEAKER_00]: There's a pretty lady. [SPEAKER_00]: So there are three women that I can say this about and you two are two of them.

[SPEAKER_00]: I went to bed with you last night and I woke up with this morning and I'm with you here tonight again. [SPEAKER_07]: And you probably don't know this, but it was actually a three sum because I was listening to you guys. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's what I'm saying. [SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm saying because I heard you this morning. [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. [SPEAKER_00]: On Richard Tucho.

[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, obviously, you know, wake up and Jody and I are, you know, come as rating back to us. [SPEAKER_00]: And then today. [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, especially last, last night at John's, then how's and yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: So it's just funny where I'm sitting there going, well, and then of course, you know, the third one is my wife, sir, which, you know, that's obvious. [SPEAKER_00]: But of course. [SPEAKER_09]: And then you don't be here later.

[SPEAKER_00]: we have got a message by the way from Anita that we brought all the way from Robert and Florida who was called into John Show last night. [SPEAKER_00]: We had to give her that meeting that message as well. [SPEAKER_00]: We're obviously talking about some of Trump's hate speech today, Karen, and some of the ridiculousness. [SPEAKER_00]: about. [SPEAKER_00]: So he was on the Fox comfy couch for those of you in the bar who didn't necessarily know this.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he was saying that basically that American justice would work a whole lot better if it just worked faster. [SPEAKER_00]: If we had faster trials. [SPEAKER_07]: Nope. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, gosh. [SPEAKER_07]: He really doesn't get it. [SPEAKER_00]: No, he doesn't understand. [SPEAKER_00]: Of course not. [SPEAKER_00]: Of course not. [SPEAKER_00]: He, no. [SPEAKER_00]: No, this is Donald Trump. [SPEAKER_00]: He thinks that the justice system works like law and order.

[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry, but doesn't he abuse the justice system to get out of stuff? [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, absolutely. [SPEAKER_09]: So if it were faster than he would have been in prison already.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[SPEAKER_00]: right exactly he wants he wants the law to be applied to everybody else but not to him because that that's exactly who Donald Trump is unfortunately that's frustrating is all get out folks but that is exactly how that goes I believe Anita is coming into the bar here I think I see her in the enter room there but I'm not sure that she's in the green room at the moment [SPEAKER_00]: Yep. [SPEAKER_00]: She's getting here. [SPEAKER_00]: She's getting here.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe she's doing a little case. [SPEAKER_00]: It happens. [SPEAKER_09]: It happens. [SPEAKER_00]: It's a Friday. [SPEAKER_00]: It's been a long week. [SPEAKER_00]: I've got to ask you here. [SPEAKER_00]: And how how has this stuff I know there was a protest today? [SPEAKER_00]: Like a 12 hour protest. [SPEAKER_00]: We know obviously was kind of an update that there was an immigrant killed and an ice agent injured at an immigration arrest in the Chicago area.

[SPEAKER_00]: Can you give us a little more of an update on that? [SPEAKER_10]: Hey, Nina. [SPEAKER_10]: I need to see you. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_10]: No, no, I was just because I can't read it. [SPEAKER_10]: I can't see it. [SPEAKER_10]: And so there's some things that came up. [SPEAKER_10]: And I didn't know what they were. [SPEAKER_10]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. [SPEAKER_10]: Obviously, I tapped the right thing. [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, you did. [SPEAKER_00]: You tapped the door.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're in the bar here. [SPEAKER_00]: And we're getting an update from Karen. [SPEAKER_00]: Karen, what exactly happened in Chicago that you know of today? [SPEAKER_00]: Because you were there. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, I was not there because I am in an undisclosed location at a good week at for my ideas for my safety anniversary. [SPEAKER_00]: We all have been you've been at the protest site this entire year. [SPEAKER_00]: We know you've been up on it.

[SPEAKER_07]: so that where that happened though that's in Franklin Park so it's not where I have been posting and yes so protesters who are who are where you've been posting at that ice facility like cat abacasala they are at least they were not around this incident no because it's in a different [SPEAKER_07]: completely different suburbs. [SPEAKER_07]: So what I understand is that was in Franklin Park, which is not far from Broadview, but it is not there.

[SPEAKER_07]: And apparently they were pursuing somebody who either they suspected was undocumented, but whatever he would not stop for them. [SPEAKER_07]: And he ended up [SPEAKER_07]: apparently dragging the ice agent, which by the way, I mean, it is one thing to see it on TV, see these guys on TV, it's something else to be right in front of them. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, they literally, it feels like you're looking at January 6th insurrectionist.

[SPEAKER_07]: And yeah, it's extremely intimidating. [SPEAKER_07]: And this is where we get into that part when we talk about how dangerous the way they're going about it is, because when you send masked people that do not have insignia, there's no name identifying main tags. [SPEAKER_10]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_10]: That's what I would think. [SPEAKER_07]: But you get dragged, you get dragged. [SPEAKER_07]: But unfortunately, these masked criminals have guns too.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: And so apparently this gentleman was shot and killed. [SPEAKER_00]: I, you know, I, no, go ahead. [SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, no, it's just that why did he shoot at him? [SPEAKER_10]: I mean, this guy was into dangerous criminal. [SPEAKER_10]: I mean, was it, have you heard anything about what we've got? [SPEAKER_00]: We've got a link in the story in the news on tap.

[SPEAKER_00]: It sounds like that they, they tried to stop the guy, the guy, [SPEAKER_00]: continued the the immigrant continued on dry the ice agent because the ice agent, you know, grab the car, whatever, and didn't, and of course, at that point, then they shoot the person because they're like hey, oh, I see. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I see. [SPEAKER_10]: Okay. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, that's what I get to get the license plate, then find where he was dragging him, they were trying to stop him.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_10]: But you have the lens plate, you'll stop. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm sure I'm sure they probably did, but I'm sure that the immigrant was also terrified. [SPEAKER_10]: But they're putting themselves in these situations that this kind of stuff is going to happen. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: I was going to tell you, so I had this story because they used to do this in Lincoln Nebraska all the time when I was teenager.

[SPEAKER_00]: Don't know if they do it these days, but so you'd have the speed trap for the cop. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, I'm here right exactly yeah, but the cops in Lincoln what they would do is they would have somebody with a gun and somebody else who was a little bit closer and the person who was close once they pinged you and they knew that the cop who was closer would literally step out into traffic and hold up their hands stop

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, and the people, I mean, nobody, to my recollection, nobody ever actually hit a cop, but I was always like, damn, that's ballsy, man, you're going, you're going, you're going to hurt. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, it's kind of a trap, man. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but they don't already, they're already ding them because they had somebody, they already know it, but don't let them out there. [SPEAKER_10]: If you hit the cop, yeah, it is kind of entrapment, isn't it?

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, because it was for it for sure. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but anyway, that was, that was, and I was always like, damn, man. [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's just, it's like with Charlie Kirk. [SPEAKER_00]: I get it. [SPEAKER_00]: Some of these ice monsters are awful, but that still doesn't mean that we do violence to them. [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: That's right.

[SPEAKER_00]: That, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that

[SPEAKER_00]: Get your drink fresh enough. [SPEAKER_00]: If you got to do your thing, you know where it is, down the hall to the left to the right. [SPEAKER_00]: Look, you know, we ain't pleased. [SPEAKER_00]: You ain't too pleased, all right? [SPEAKER_00]: Come on back for another round. [SPEAKER_00]: Here, at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_00]: Friday night here at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you very much for joining us for wherever you happen to be coming in.

[SPEAKER_00]: We have the wonderful Karen and the wonderful Anita here, by the way, Anita, we have a message for you last night. [SPEAKER_00]: Robert called in when Jody and I were hanging out at John Fugelsang's place. [SPEAKER_00]: And Robert and Florida said to say hello to Anita as Robert really, you know, Robert really digs. [SPEAKER_00]: You think you're great.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's we think you're great too, but it's one of those things where I'm like, wait a minute, we're carrying mail for a needle. [SPEAKER_10]: No, thank you. [SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of cool. [SPEAKER_10]: You're a coffee boy. [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you very much. [SPEAKER_00]: I will be a coffee boy any day of the week. [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. [SPEAKER_00]: Very good messages that way. [SPEAKER_00]: So, we have been getting some messages.

[SPEAKER_00]: Just Karen, you were saying that you were getting some messages about some stuff going on at Chicago. [SPEAKER_00]: We double-checked from earlier, the protest that is the Broadview facility in Chicago appears to be, that was mostly safe. [SPEAKER_00]: The only real violence seemed to be that death in Franklin Park. [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, but it's been scary. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and you were there. [SPEAKER_00]: You've been there like my bank.

[SPEAKER_07]: I've been there most of the week. [SPEAKER_07]: Um, I think I was even there. [SPEAKER_07]: Wait, was I doing yesterday? [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, it was yesterday. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, but very briefly. [SPEAKER_10]: Um, but the day before yesterday, with there, I was there. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, for quite a while. [SPEAKER_07]: And I'm meeting some people that are really going through a lot right now.

[SPEAKER_07]: Um, one woman was there looking for her brother Emma, who had been [SPEAKER_07]: civilians sit in. [SPEAKER_07]: There were ice agents in. [SPEAKER_07]: He had noticed them and they followed him for several miles until he left the Chicago City limits and they pulled him over. [SPEAKER_07]: They didn't have a warrant. [SPEAKER_07]: They took his wallet, took his phone, brought him to the detention facility.

[SPEAKER_07]: He [SPEAKER_07]: was not able to call his family until two days in. [SPEAKER_07]: And when he did, they said, or he told his family, that they were refusing to give him a case number, apparently. [SPEAKER_07]: He has been going through the legal channels to become a citizen. [SPEAKER_00]: So he's an immigrant, but he's an immigrant. [SPEAKER_07]: He's an immigrant. [SPEAKER_07]: And he has, yes, and he has an immigration attorney.

[SPEAKER_07]: However, they would not provide him with the case number so that he could provide it to his immigration attorney. [SPEAKER_07]: Right. [SPEAKER_07]: So, and they informed him that he would be transported for hours away. [SPEAKER_07]: from Chicago. [SPEAKER_07]: I got another update from her stating that there was a 630 departure from the facility via bus. [SPEAKER_07]: They took him to the airport and they flew them to Louisiana where the judges have no problem deporting people.

[SPEAKER_10]: There's just such cruelty, you know, the South Koreans that they were trying to, um, they, they, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did, they did,

[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks for better theater. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: They're legitimate South Korean citizens. [SPEAKER_00]: We're actually. [SPEAKER_10]: Engineers and tech people. [SPEAKER_10]: They were leading Americans. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, not only that. [SPEAKER_00]: They were the battery factory. [SPEAKER_00]: They were helping to build in Georgia.

[SPEAKER_00]: uh... senator offs off was big in bringing that there but some of the republicans in congress also wanted it because it brings job yes of course 85 hundred jobs would have been there and apparently the woman that like tried to you know i'm not sure what the story is up there was some

[SPEAKER_10]: suggestion that she said that they were dead bodies buried there at the Hyundai plant and she yeah and that she told the ice they are the she reported them and we laid this crazy story and they went there that I heard somebody else say they were looking for four undocumented people Hispanic and they went in there and they weren't giving any real instructions and so they just [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to make sure it is. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, and that's that's just it.

[SPEAKER_00]: We always, we have to sus it out these days. [SPEAKER_00]: It is not as easy as turning on the news, but also the thing is, there are going to be some allies in that area, some Republicans who want it, because like you said, Jody, 8500 jobs. [SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of jobs. [SPEAKER_00]: That's a lot. [SPEAKER_00]: Actually, I didn't, I didn't put this in the news on tap. [SPEAKER_00]: That's what we had, we had so many, well, but the thing is, is Hyundai is pausing.

[SPEAKER_00]: that factory and the South Korean government basically put out kind of an alert to the whole rest of the world. [SPEAKER_00]: It says if you have companies right if you got companies who are trying to bring jobs over here you all best be careful bring your people because you cannot trust they better be white and blunt. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, and they are so angry South Korea. [SPEAKER_10]: I listen to Chris Nolan, who's from he's in South in South Georgia, South Korea.

[SPEAKER_10]: South Korea, he lives there. [SPEAKER_10]: His wife is Korean. [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. [SPEAKER_10]: And so, [SPEAKER_10]: He's talking about how angry the Koreans are, they're, they're, they're, they're, yeah, they're a protest going on.

[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, there are things in F and G, they're beating Trump, you know, well look, we have, we have, we have our people who went over there Republicans and Democrats, multiple levels of government go to other countries when when when people say what, what are what are congressmen? [SPEAKER_00]: What are mayors doing going to these other countries?

[SPEAKER_00]: what they're doing is meeting in person with the legal authorities and these other countries and oftentimes the business authorities in those other countries on their turf so that they feel comfortable trying to woo them, trying to say look. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: It's just a bit of a shame. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: That's why my name was out of town in in another country during the beginning of the fires in January.

[SPEAKER_09]: She was out of town trying to bring business to Los Angeles. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: And she got one of their jobs. [SPEAKER_00]: That's one of the jobs that elected officials that we have is to try to bring businesses. [SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_00]: You all remember the idiotic, the ass-and-eye thing with Donald Trump, you know, Gary and cats and dogs.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: But those all those immigrants were being brought to a a town where they were. [SPEAKER_00]: They were invited there. [SPEAKER_00]: They were invited there to actually take jobs up because a lot of the white people who used to live there moved away because they're weren't in jobs. [SPEAKER_00]: And now they were bringing new jobs in because they had gotten other companies [SPEAKER_10]: And that they were really helping regenerate that town.

[SPEAKER_10]: It was just it was flourishing with them. [SPEAKER_10]: They needed them there. [SPEAKER_10]: And now I'm from what I understand they're gone. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and that's and that's that you you're seeing that in a lot of places all over the country where The economy the local economy is suffering because The immigrants who are a key part of the economy aren't there anymore.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yep. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes. [SPEAKER_10]: I don't know what anybody want to come here right now [SPEAKER_07]: No, and that's the financial standpoint, and then it's, you know, the community, you know, the decimation of these communities, the human factor and the decimation of these communities.

[SPEAKER_07]: And I mean, you know, we talk about, you know, Charlie Kirk and his family being hurt by, you know, his death, senseless death, [SPEAKER_07]: This family that I was just talking about, he has a wife and kids here. [SPEAKER_00]: Right, equally heard, right. [SPEAKER_07]: They just don't, they don't see them as now. [SPEAKER_00]: They don't see them as human. [SPEAKER_00]: And that's, that's a special thing, especially especially people like Stephen Miller.

[SPEAKER_00]: And Stephen Miller is really, in many ways, Stephen Miller is the guy I was talking to. [SPEAKER_00]: That's right, right now. [SPEAKER_10]: He's been saying that. [SPEAKER_00]: I've been saying that. [SPEAKER_10]: I've been saying that from the very beginning for months now. [SPEAKER_00]: You're not in need of. [SPEAKER_00]: You're not in need of. [SPEAKER_10]: Now, of course, finally catching on.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, but I, you know, a lot of us have been saying that he's, he's been doing a lot of the stuff. [SPEAKER_00]: it hasn't been as obvious as it has been in certain other uh... with other governors or other presidents and and Stephen Miller doesn't want it necessarily to be as obvious yet he wants to have his metaphorical hand-up trumps but sorry for that uh... so he can be his puppet master

[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't make you a spin to kind of, I made you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make you a spin to kind of make

[SPEAKER_00]: When Donald Trump dies, whatever point that is, when he dies, J.D. [SPEAKER_00]: Vance is not going to have that power. [SPEAKER_10]: No, he doesn't have to worry about what he doesn't. [SPEAKER_10]: But also, one of the things that Donald Trump is shameless, and he just says it out loud. [SPEAKER_10]: And I don't know who else has that kind of shamelessness that I've never seen that politics.

[SPEAKER_10]: And usually, there are a little bit more, like, [SPEAKER_10]: on the down a little about the race. [SPEAKER_07]: I know. [SPEAKER_07]: But like look at Nancy Mace just in the course of 24 hours. [SPEAKER_10]: She's shameless, but she's a woman and she sounds crazy. [SPEAKER_10]: Because if you were a woman, let me tell you something. [SPEAKER_10]: But what's your name that ran for a vice president from Alaska?

[SPEAKER_10]: South Carolina, Maryland, and all of a sudden, but you know what, she was a woman and she was treated differently. [SPEAKER_10]: Donald Trump is just a stupid and crazy. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, I think Sarah Payba. [SPEAKER_10]: more crazy and stupid than she was. [SPEAKER_10]: I don't know. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, I think I think I'm going to give him the presidency. [SPEAKER_10]: She probably would have been crazier.

[SPEAKER_07]: She was a fan girl of Putin long before we knew how much true Republican Party loved Putin. [SPEAKER_10]: But they bashed her to media bashed her. [SPEAKER_10]: You know, the, well, her stupidity. [SPEAKER_00]: And they should because she wasn't eating. [SPEAKER_00]: They should have known you were in your presence. [SPEAKER_10]: They won't do that for white men. [SPEAKER_10]: they don't do it for man.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, the drooping.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god. [SPEAKER_00]: He, if they looked like he clearly had a stroke on one side. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, that's how he strokes happen. [SPEAKER_09]: It's, yes, I mean, it's a whole thing. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: And I mean, it's, he looked. [SPEAKER_10]: He was terrible and he'd live a stroke during the interviews yesterday. [SPEAKER_10]: Yes, he was confused. [SPEAKER_10]: He was like, kind of, yeah, he just, there's something wrong.

[SPEAKER_10]: And I think, you know, that week that he took off, I don't know what kind of drugs they're pumping them up with anyway. [SPEAKER_00]: Sterling that's all that ties back to the fact that he has that individual power that that all the people around him That's why they want to keep puppeting him because they don't want him. [SPEAKER_00]: He is their meal ticket That's right with that. [SPEAKER_00]: I am they got nothing.

[SPEAKER_10]: Well Stephen Miller certainly can't take the reins [SPEAKER_10]: creepiest. [SPEAKER_10]: He's older than I am and he's like 20 something years he's hurting now.

[SPEAKER_10]: He's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's

[SPEAKER_00]: He is well, he makes you ugly, but he doesn't make you stupid. [SPEAKER_00]: And with respect to the suspect, I don't certainly want to name him. [SPEAKER_00]: The suspect that killed Charlie Kirk. [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, so Donald did something really stupid with respect to that today, and started cash potential. [SPEAKER_10]: A lot of super thanks.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: But when, when, when have the three of you ever heard a president of the United States speak about an ongoing case? [SPEAKER_10]: Well, which in Nixon and everybody went, oh my god, you know, when he said that about Charles Manson, he said he's guilty, right? [SPEAKER_10]: Well, and it was on such a thing, and it was in the trial, and it was used against, you know, it was used on the defense side, the defense was that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Some of the rulings were Donald Trump has lost in court, and then because he opened his big flap, and he just talked about stuff, and they've used it against him. [SPEAKER_00]: When Donald Trump this morning, let's have a bag on Fox and friends and say, Oh, yeah, they got him. [SPEAKER_00]: And he was trash talking a little bit. [SPEAKER_00]: And he was saying some of these things. [SPEAKER_00]: Not not as much as Donald normally would.

[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, somebody had you could tell had advised to not say too much. [SPEAKER_10]: Why would he announce again in the first place? [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_10]: It's a reality show for him. [SPEAKER_00]: Totally. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: But then Cash Patel, when he talked about it, talked about how Charlie was his good friend and all this. [SPEAKER_00]: I know. [SPEAKER_00]: They're going to go for the death penalty on this suspect.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to go for it. [SPEAKER_00]: But here's the thing. [SPEAKER_00]: Any lawyer worth their salt will say this has all been biased because it's right both the president and the head of the FBI we're talking about their personal connections to this guy and and any judge who who is any integrity yeah right exactly is going to say 100% sorry so this this kid this is not a kid he's a young man this young man yeah this young man

[SPEAKER_00]: he may end up getting off because Donald Trump cash would tell flat their lips and couldn't keep their mouth shut. [SPEAKER_00]: Which that's part of the job. [SPEAKER_00]: There are there are things that the whole rest of the world is not supposed to know. [SPEAKER_00]: Some people were saying, you know, um, why is Donald Trump, uh, why if they knew that they had the suspect last night, why didn't Donald Trump?

[SPEAKER_00]: I said to somebody I said, [SPEAKER_00]: You know why Donald Trump didn't say anything until this morning, I'm bet you're asked that they didn't tell him. [SPEAKER_00]: It didn't tell him. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: Because if they would have targeted out, yeah, it would have been on trotential. [SPEAKER_10]: He could have wouldn't be able to help himself. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: He wouldn't be able to have sensual data or something.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: And that's a whole thing is that when you have a job with a lot of responsibility like that, there's a lot of things that you just simply cannot say. [SPEAKER_10]: It's the same reason why foreign countries don't tell them anything. [SPEAKER_10]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: Yep, 100%, 100%. [SPEAKER_00]: All right, y'all. [SPEAKER_00]: We are hitting the break here. [SPEAKER_00]: I apologize for that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I just, I got busy talking to you. [SPEAKER_00]: I got distracted, but look at what we do. [SPEAKER_00]: Hang out the bar with our friends. [SPEAKER_00]: We talk, we have fun. [SPEAKER_00]: It's Friday nights. [SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna talk a little bit of a little bit of fun stuff coming up because it's been such a serious week. [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, you know what I'm saying? [SPEAKER_10]: We love this flow. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we'll have to talk about Texas.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: I like, you know, when I was a kid, when I started playing around with sound, Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: So I had to borrow my sister. [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I have a story. [SPEAKER_00]: Another one. [SPEAKER_00]: So I have to borrow my sister. [SPEAKER_09]: You can buy this.

[SPEAKER_09]: Sean has a story. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_00]: You can buy shirts like that. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Comment the story that we, we launched this week. [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, Jodie. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you did not get it, so you have two different versions of the shirt that says Jodi is right. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I like that. [SPEAKER_00]: So my sister had one of these little, little record players.

[SPEAKER_00]: He was orange and had kind of a top and he could play a 45. [SPEAKER_00]: You could play long play. [SPEAKER_00]: You play the full size records on a two. [SPEAKER_00]: I like you said long play. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I know LP, that tells you, that tells you how long I've been around, man. [SPEAKER_10]: And I would do the same thing, you know, played a different speaking. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_10]: I love you.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't

[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't get the record scratch thing because I didn't want to mess because the records were my sisters and I knew if I was going to go. [SPEAKER_00]: If I mess up her her original soundtrack recording of Greece, I won.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no [SPEAKER_10]: I wish the world was your life. [SPEAKER_10]: I think I had a shot Cassidy.

[SPEAKER_07]: My first 45 was Danny Asman, puppy love. [SPEAKER_07]: I got it at the Woolworth. [SPEAKER_09]: My first 45 was, I'm happy I'm Barbie. [SPEAKER_09]: It was it was a little 45 and it came with the doll. [SPEAKER_09]: Wow. [SPEAKER_09]: So I don't remember that. [SPEAKER_09]: That sounds cool. [SPEAKER_09]: I did actually music video with unhappy and Barbie a couple of years ago. [SPEAKER_09]: I'll send it to you guys. [SPEAKER_07]: The one that you could get in cereal box.

[SPEAKER_07]: Oh yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: This thing will square. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Yep. [SPEAKER_10]: I don't remember that. [SPEAKER_00]: I just don't like dust. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: Like a penny or a corner on it. [SPEAKER_00]: It's going to weigh it down. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh absolutely absolutely. [SPEAKER_00]: I love playing with sound. [SPEAKER_00]: I love it. [SPEAKER_00]: That's part of the reason that I ended up in radio is because you know what I mean.

[SPEAKER_00]: I like playing with sound. [SPEAKER_00]: I like playing with voices. [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of fun. [SPEAKER_00]: I do not like playing with the media though. [SPEAKER_00]: I like being part of the media. [SPEAKER_00]: I am proud that we have some pretty high standards of integrity here at the politics bar, because that's it's fun. [SPEAKER_00]: But little, little pissed off of the Wall Street Journal. [SPEAKER_00]: Um, absolutely.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, this whole thing with the, the, this is one of the reasons we say, look, I, I, I copped this earlier. [SPEAKER_00]: I will copped this again. [SPEAKER_00]: Having integrity means admitting when you were wrong. [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I, I said yesterday, I said, yeah, yesterday, that the two of the victims in the Colorado high school shooting were dead. [SPEAKER_00]: And I was wrong. [SPEAKER_00]: The last write-up that I had, they weren't. [SPEAKER_00]: And no, no, no, oh, wow.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but no, in fact, the two color high school shooting victims last check, they were still in critical condition, one was publicly identified by authorities, so you admit when you're wrong, the Wall Street Journal, they put out this thing about the messages that were scrolled on the shooting suspects, right now, and they said that it was an anti-trainer, yeah, it was a anti-trainer. [SPEAKER_09]: Trans it was a trans-trainer, anti-trainer, anti-allidly.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right, which, which, first of all, the, the transgender people that I know, the only ideology they have is to live an normal life have fun, uh, no, no, by the way, we, we're right. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, did you hear this? [SPEAKER_07]: Now, this was the liberal agenda that I knew it would be something this stupid. [SPEAKER_07]: So it's out. [SPEAKER_07]: The reason they reported that the shooters bullets were marked with antifa and transmessaging.

[SPEAKER_07]: the bottom of the bullet cases had T. R. and stand for them. [SPEAKER_07]: T. R. N. is the mark of a very common to the market Turkish bullet manufacturing brand. [SPEAKER_07]: I give you Trump's FBI, everybody, please and they have an arrow or something and they throw. [SPEAKER_00]: They have an anti-LGBTQ message on one of them. [SPEAKER_00]: And it's in the, you can, you can move through some of the some of the stories we have linked at the news on tap.

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, they actually go through it. [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, there is actually a clip from CNN that goes through the messages that were scrolled. [SPEAKER_00]: So there was an anti-LG. [SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't anti-K. [SPEAKER_00]: If you're, if you're, but if you, if you know anybody who knows who knows bullets and shooting, we had Frank Fagluse here in the bar last night.

[SPEAKER_00]: If he had known that and I don't know that he did but I mean T. R. R. N. The bottom of the bullet is not uncommon. [SPEAKER_00]: It's a manufacturer that has nothing to do with it has nothing to do with trans people whatsoever. [SPEAKER_10]: The HAL, somebody with a mouth, yeah, yeah, well, that's just did. [SPEAKER_00]: So he said that last night, there's a place to be able to come out and knock it down. [SPEAKER_00]: The Wall Street Journal didn't take that article down.

[SPEAKER_00]: They had it up for, I think it was something like 12 hours. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, they should have taken that down immediately once the HAL. [SPEAKER_10]: Over the place, it was already spread. [SPEAKER_10]: It was too late anyway, because once that's the narrative is set, and this is what they wanted. [SPEAKER_10]: My problem with that at the whole thing was that the FBI [SPEAKER_10]: trying to fit this as a, you know, they'd already decided on a narrative, right?

[SPEAKER_10]: And they were trying to prove that. [SPEAKER_10]: Like the arrest they made at first were to help fit that narrative. [SPEAKER_10]: They weren't looking for a white, you know, Republican kid. [SPEAKER_10]: Good night. [SPEAKER_07]: which they should have been looking for really because that's a profile of the FSA said it was an old man that they had to say I'm like sir I saw the picture like is that Bernie Sanders?

[SPEAKER_10]: Well apparently he had a lot of problems politically and he was more from what I understand. [SPEAKER_00]: He was, you know, we're saying we're in the first the first suspect that they, that they picked up. [SPEAKER_10]: They seem to be kind of a lefty or he at least is spouse somewhat, you know. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, there's anything that's, that's, that's exactly the point. [SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly the point is that that they are trying to frame that.

[SPEAKER_00]: We have to double check and triple check and we have to double check and triple check our new sources. [SPEAKER_00]: We have to be willing to say when when we, you know, made a mistake. [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but.

[SPEAKER_00]: the things that we've counted on, especially when it comes to the federal government, we have to understand that at least for now, we can't count on them, and we can't trust them, even try competent, even to actually do the right thing, because as we mentioned earlier, cash betel may have sank this case. [SPEAKER_00]: already. [SPEAKER_00]: Even before the case gets to court. [SPEAKER_00]: They're not even.

[SPEAKER_00]: I guess state charges are scheduled now in Utah for to come out Tuesday. [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously the feds will probably try to Bigfoot and put their charges in as well. [SPEAKER_00]: But it doesn't matter whether it's federal or state, you know, with the way that cash Patel and Donald Trump made their comments on this, they could actually have sank the case already. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, he was out to bragging about what a great job they did.

[SPEAKER_10]: They didn't get that. [SPEAKER_10]: They didn't solve that case. [SPEAKER_10]: No. [SPEAKER_10]: The kid was turned in by like a family friend. [SPEAKER_00]: No, it's a family friend. [SPEAKER_00]: No, it's a family friend. [SPEAKER_10]: No, it wasn't a staff. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: It was it was dad and his pastor. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_00]: That's okay. [SPEAKER_00]: I took a different story. [SPEAKER_00]: Walk it up.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Here's the problem. [SPEAKER_10]: Once again, I heard two different stories. [SPEAKER_10]: And I don't know what to believe. [SPEAKER_10]: Because there's so many, you know, we don't know who to trust anymore. [SPEAKER_10]: If the news sources are going by with the government, tell us them. [SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's part of the reason that I've been such a stick in the mud, such a pain in the ass that some people say about ethics and integrity in media for such a long time.

[SPEAKER_00]: And look, there are [SPEAKER_00]: not every state has great uh... has a great governor look at taxis i'm sorry needy and yeah no okay i said all the time and while there there's some good democrats there uh... you know hats off to james telewreco who in the sense of i think the race between him and colon all red is going to be fantastic i think they're too uh... it has been announced yet

[SPEAKER_10]: That's what I heard, to get better I think it's running and still as a keen cash show. [SPEAKER_00]: Well, look, that would be a fantastic race. [SPEAKER_00]: Those would be great candidates all. [SPEAKER_00]: And that's the thing is that there are places where there are a lot of places. [SPEAKER_00]: And some of you here in the bar are probably listening from some of those places where you feel like you haven't really had a shot. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: And you do.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I have my issues with a mandalipment of run for something. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she, her attitude on certain things sometimes turns me off a little bit. [SPEAKER_00]: I do get what she's saying and I agree with the basic premise, which is, [SPEAKER_00]: Democrats and independence if that's your thing.

[SPEAKER_00]: We should all be running against these these agamonsters and every election in every corner, even if it's a place like this place in Utah where they picked up this suspect. [SPEAKER_00]: I think they voted for Trump by like 65% there. [SPEAKER_00]: And let's fix from there Republican, but the idea is even there, Democrats should run.

[SPEAKER_00]: And in fact, they should run right now because the way that Donald Trump and his regime are screwing up the federal government, so badly, they're screwing up the FBI. [SPEAKER_00]: They're screwing up the IRS. [SPEAKER_00]: They're screwing up parts of the government that have never been screwed up before under Bush or Cheney or anybody. [SPEAKER_09]: The CDC economy, and these are a lot of me. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm sorry.

[SPEAKER_10]: Go ahead, Jody. [SPEAKER_09]: I was a CDC in the HHS for being screwed up. [SPEAKER_09]: That's true. [SPEAKER_09]: It's a building. [SPEAKER_09]: You have a lot of bothered to do that. [SPEAKER_10]: Those people in those weird areas are getting hurt the most. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: So Democrats, the Democratic Party should be running candidates in every single one of those districts where they're having those town halls.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it's where it makes more sense to run an independent like Nebraska. [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, look, Auburn is Osborne is running there and there is kind of a a tacit agreement by Jane Cleb in the and the Nebraska Democrats that he's probably the the the candidate with the shot across the shot.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so they're saying, you know what, you do you move and you run and if there are things that we agree on great we'll support you on those and if there are things we don't well still you do you because that you're probably the best person to try to beat Pete Ricketts and going that's that is that smart polyticking.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it brass because having a real hard time right now just like Iowa just like a lot of the farm the big farm crisis is is coming and a lot of that is because of Trump and his ridiculousness on tariffs. [SPEAKER_10]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, it's horrible. [SPEAKER_10]: Look at the Arkansas farmers. [SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_00]: Yep. [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're all aware, but the idea that that [SPEAKER_00]: If you think you can run or you know somebody who says, I don't know if I should run. [SPEAKER_00]: Look, the people who are in federal government right now, who are, and I'm not saying everybody who works in federal government, but especially people who got their jobs because they kissed up to Trump or because they're a great trumper.

[SPEAKER_00]: They are so incompetent, they literally cannot count their eyeballs and get the same number twice some of them. [SPEAKER_00]: And they're not working for us. [SPEAKER_00]: They're not working for the people. [SPEAKER_10]: They're working for him. [SPEAKER_10]: They just want to hold on to power and they don't care that they're sacrificing the democracy, they're sacrificing the good of the American people. [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, they're neighbors and they're friends.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, try it. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah. [SPEAKER_00]: So if you know somebody, by God, run man. [SPEAKER_00]: Because I mean, you know, with the best way and just make sure then you vote for the best candidate and no, they aren't going to pass your purity test. [SPEAKER_00]: They aren't going to pass everything.

[SPEAKER_00]: But by God, you know, if we can have Zorn Man Danny win in New York City, if we can have Abigail Spambert or Wayne here in Virginia, and my share in New Jersey, and down Florida, David Jolly could win next year. [SPEAKER_00]: Look, we want the best damn candidates in every damn corner of this country. [SPEAKER_00]: And the ones who will win and will help us fix this absolute mess, the Trump and his monsters have made.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah absolutely a great news a great great note great news notes end of the week cuz man it's been a busy week holy freaking I need a nap I need another drink I'm gonna stick around for a little bit afterwards Sure, yeah if I'm still standing
