Kegbreath's Crimes December 2, 2025

[SPEAKER_09]: But let it go, thank you, let it go. [SPEAKER_09]: You think it's the fun, wherever you are, the politics must. [SPEAKER_02]: Shotsmith Pearson, Jodie Hamilton. [SPEAKER_09]: Jodie, Jodie, Jodie. [SPEAKER_14]: Shishishishani. [SPEAKER_14]: How are you doing today? [SPEAKER_14]: I'm doing better. [SPEAKER_14]: I went all the way to Stephanie's house all by myself. [SPEAKER_07]: Which is good, that's important. [SPEAKER_07]: And I have any house.

[SPEAKER_14]: And I have a Bob's place. [SPEAKER_14]: Exactly, and I haven't been out of breath yet today, and so that's good. [SPEAKER_07]: So what you're saying is you haven't seen Lonnie all day. [SPEAKER_14]: No, I saw him, so he's right over there. [SPEAKER_07]: And then he just looks at you and says, the Pollock's bar. [SPEAKER_07]: And you get all kind of, you know, hot and bothered. [SPEAKER_07]: It's fine, you know, it's good. [SPEAKER_07]: You know, he's a handsome man.

[SPEAKER_07]: He's a attractive man. [SPEAKER_07]: Whatever, I get it. [SPEAKER_14]: I mean, I'm going to attempt to walk at least a couple of miles tomorrow. [SPEAKER_14]: We'll see how it goes. [SPEAKER_07]: All right, for those of you who are walking and listening to us or for those of you who are listening from wherever you happen to be listening Thank you very much for listening on all of our great radio affiliates.

[SPEAKER_07]: Whether you are listening on AM9 50 miniapolis say Paul or maybe WCPT AMA 20 Chicago Maybe you're listening on George and now radio on the ATL or D2 were talking Tennessee or progressive voices radio worldwide wherever you happen to be or you know Maybe you want this future people in your pretty cool [SPEAKER_07]: Okay, Jari. [SPEAKER_07]: I mentioned Tennessee. [SPEAKER_07]: I have to mention Tennessee. [SPEAKER_07]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_07]: Just because okay folks.

[SPEAKER_07]: Here's the deal. [SPEAKER_07]: If you happen to be in Tennessee, 07 and you have half a brain or three quarters of a brain or any active brain cells whatsoever. [SPEAKER_07]: And you have not voted. [SPEAKER_07]: You need to get your ass out there and vote. [SPEAKER_07]: Head to the polls. [SPEAKER_07]: You can vote for Afton Bane. [SPEAKER_07]: You know, if you wanted to be dumb, you could vote for somebody else, but I do recommend that you vote for Afton Bane.

[SPEAKER_07]: It's my recommendation. [SPEAKER_07]: Jody, I believe that yours as well. [SPEAKER_14]: Yes, absolutely. [SPEAKER_07]: We're telling you we're just saying this is who we think it would be a good idea for you to vote for. [SPEAKER_07]: And you can vote until 7 p.m. central time. [SPEAKER_07]: So if you are in line. [SPEAKER_07]: Stay in line. [SPEAKER_14]: Yes, please. [SPEAKER_07]: Do not get out of line. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, don't get out of line.

[SPEAKER_14]: Don't ever get out of line, but you know, besides that. [SPEAKER_07]: Right, exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: But yes, do go and vote if you are there. [SPEAKER_07]: Look, it's going to be, there are winds and there are peric victories, but I mean, it's going to be, if it is anything less than a double digit blow out by the Republicans, it's going to be a loss. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Because, [SPEAKER_07]: if after been went great.

[SPEAKER_07]: Fantastic. [SPEAKER_14]: Tiny Johnson is even smaller, which oh my god and yesterday did you see how sweaty he looked and he was called Donald on the phone and had him on speaker to talk to people. [SPEAKER_07]: Did you see that Republicans brought their tiny Johnson all the way to Tennessee and then they were waving this tiny sweaty ugly little thing around at the people there. [SPEAKER_07]: And it was speaking with the voice of Donald Trump, it's because Johnson had his phone.

[SPEAKER_07]: And which I'm like, do you not have advanced people who will hook you up a sound system with that anyway? [SPEAKER_07]: So yeah, they looked pedophile. [SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_07]: You know, let's see Republicans in their tiny Johnson. [SPEAKER_07]: So that's understandable. [SPEAKER_07]: You look at, especially when it's shrinking, potentially. [SPEAKER_07]: So, hey, we don't have a problem with shrinkage in the Democratic Party.

[SPEAKER_07]: We have plenty of people who sometimes step on themselves, but, but, you know, we're not talking about the Democrats right now, other than the fact that Afton Bain is awesome, and we should say please vote for her please, please vote for her, we'll talk about the results on that tomorrow, we won't talk about him tonight because by the time we leave the bar, not all the votes will be counted, they may not even be counted by the time we get to the bar tomorrow.

[SPEAKER_14]: Well, hopefully it will hopefully it won't be so close that don't need to recall or recall, you know, recount. [SPEAKER_14]: Hopefully she'll win by like seven or eight points. [SPEAKER_14]: That would be even worse. [SPEAKER_07]: I'll take a one, I'd take a one or two point win. [SPEAKER_07]: I'll take a W, any, well, not a George W, but I will take a win. [SPEAKER_07]: And any way that we could get it there, which would be great.

[SPEAKER_07]: So just remember also one of the big things about the election there. [SPEAKER_07]: In Tennessee, zero seven is affordability, Donald had a cabinet meeting today when which he actually fell asleep a couple of times. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, this is one of the clips from that here. [SPEAKER_07]: Link played this on the DVR. [SPEAKER_08]: And, you know, there's this fake narrative that the Democrats talk about affordability. [SPEAKER_08]: They just say the word.

[SPEAKER_08]: It doesn't mean anything to anybody. [SPEAKER_08]: You just said affordability. [SPEAKER_08]: I inherited the worst inflation in history. [SPEAKER_08]: There was no affordability. [SPEAKER_08]: Nobody could afford anything. [SPEAKER_08]: The prices were massively high. [SPEAKER_08]: You were never when we took over eggs. [SPEAKER_08]: You did a great job in that Madam Secretary. [SPEAKER_08]: eggs were four, five times higher than they'd ever been.

[SPEAKER_08]: We said, don't order eggs for Easter at the White House. [SPEAKER_08]: And we ended up doing it and we got it. [SPEAKER_08]: The egg prices way down lower. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, he drives me nuts. [SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_07]: Fact check on that, Jodie. [SPEAKER_07]: Was it in fact the worst inflation ever? [SPEAKER_14]: No, I believe the worst was the right around more warm one. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, Jodie is correct.

[SPEAKER_14]: And it was bad in the 70s and in the 80s, wait worse than it is now. [SPEAKER_07]: Right. [SPEAKER_07]: So no, Donald Trump is wrong, that inflation was. [SPEAKER_07]: He's also wrong that affordability is a ridiculous word that doesn't matter to Democrats. [SPEAKER_07]: Affordability actually matters a lot. [SPEAKER_14]: To everybody. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, Democrats, Republicans, independence, even if you are not registered to vote affordability matters.

[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_07]: Donald Trump is wrong, for usual. [SPEAKER_07]: Somebody actually was correct today that I meant you would be shocked was correct. [SPEAKER_07]: I'll give you two guesses. [SPEAKER_07]: She's got three K's in her name. [SPEAKER_14]: Hey girl. [SPEAKER_07]: Ha ha ha ha. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, she was actually right about something once.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was surprised she said this today in her little presser, but overwhelmingly the fake news that we see pumped out of this building on a day-to-day basis. [SPEAKER_00]: It's honestly overwhelming to keep up with it all. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh my god, Caroline was correct. [SPEAKER_14]: Yes, because she's one of the biggest liars out of there. [SPEAKER_07]: Jody is correct, too. [SPEAKER_14]: You know, somebody, I think you saw Richard Schuke.

[SPEAKER_07]: I think Richard Schuke's right twice a day. [SPEAKER_14]: I think Richard Schuke's this morning, one of his guests said, yes, she can't move the cross because it's burned. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, I heard that that was great and I was sitting there going on and I'm like yes, maybe he was listening to us here at the bar Maybe he'd been listening to Steph or John Fuegel's tank.

[SPEAKER_07]: Oh speaking of John Fuegel's tank by the way John's semi-permanent co-host, you know, he's he co-hosted with John for the first few years Tell me everything on series XM and he's on the ton of other stuff. [SPEAKER_07]: We had the one and only Frank Conf coming in today [SPEAKER_07]: Which did you know the move from New York City to the Twin Cities issue? [SPEAKER_14]: I did not, so hopefully he'll sign in at the right time because I gave him each of the numbers and not CT numbers.

[SPEAKER_14]: Well, she's because signs in when we're off. [SPEAKER_07]: That would be that would be good. [SPEAKER_07]: Maybe during one of our breaks, we could text him and be like, hey, Frank, just remember it's this time central because we know you're in the city. [SPEAKER_14]: I think he understands ET, but you know, he's smart.

[SPEAKER_07]: He gets all that, but just in case you know, it's always it's always good to be like, hey, come to the barn at this time because otherwise you know, well, you know, obviously if we don't see him come in at the appropriate time, then [SPEAKER_07]: This is true as well. [SPEAKER_07]: This is true as well. [SPEAKER_07]: But yes, Frank Connor will be with us tonight, which is pretty cool. [SPEAKER_07]: So of course, Rick Connor's going to be an hour or two.

[SPEAKER_07]: And if you happen to be on WCPT, you're kind of bummed because you've been only getting one hour. [SPEAKER_07]: You haven't been getting a whole show starting next Monday. [SPEAKER_07]: December 8th on WCPT, you will in fact be getting both hours. [SPEAKER_07]: And the new starting time on that Jodie will be starting at 7 p.m. 7 is central. [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: So there you go.

[SPEAKER_07]: So remember, if you miss any of the show, you can always download the podcast at the politicsbar.com or you can download it from your favorite podcast player. [SPEAKER_07]: But remember, today is supposed to be giving Tuesday. [SPEAKER_07]: You know, they have all these days, uh, uh, what is it up? [SPEAKER_07]: Black Friday, small business Saturday, a Cyber Monday, Cyber Monday, right.

[SPEAKER_07]: Today's supposed to be giving Tuesday when you give to an organization that you think could really use the money. [SPEAKER_07]: Then quite frankly, you know, I think that Jody and I would really appreciate it. [SPEAKER_07]: If you subscribe to the politics bar podcast, $6 a month, get to the podcast, add free. [SPEAKER_07]: You don't have to listen to the ads that way. [SPEAKER_07]: If you do it free on your phone, you have to listen to the ads.

[SPEAKER_07]: This way you get an ad free, then you also get the drink of the day with the recipe, and you get the news on tap for free. [SPEAKER_07]: So it's giving Tuesday. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm just suggesting that you might want to give some money to Jody. [SPEAKER_07]: And if some of it falls my way, I'm okay with that too. [SPEAKER_07]: Just something.

[SPEAKER_07]: All right, we have been avoiding a little bit of the ugly news today just because of the fact that I mean, you know, war crimes are not exactly my favorite topic of the world, you know, nor should they be. [SPEAKER_07]: What crimes? [SPEAKER_07]: Let's do murder. [SPEAKER_07]: We chew about it. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, that's, that is a, a big no no. [SPEAKER_07]: But unfortunately, not everybody thinks the same way we do.

[SPEAKER_07]: A game Jeffries this morning, he called out Hegseth and I'm glad he pointed the media to the right clip. [SPEAKER_07]: We'll play a game and then we'll play Kegbreath. [SPEAKER_07]: Here, listen. [SPEAKER_10]: The White House is lying, but that's no surprise because they lie for a living in the American people know it. [SPEAKER_10]: It's my understanding that Pete Hacksett, the so-called Secretary of Defense, was absolutely involved.

[SPEAKER_10]: I think he may have even recently acknowledged that because the facts [SPEAKER_10]: are incapable of being disputed. [SPEAKER_12]: In fact, the game Jeffries is correct. [SPEAKER_12]: Here's his peak kick breath on Fox. [SPEAKER_12]: I can tell you that was definitely not artificial intelligence. [SPEAKER_12]: I watched it live. [SPEAKER_12]: We knew exactly who was in that boat. [SPEAKER_12]: We knew exactly what they were doing.

[SPEAKER_12]: And we knew exactly who they represented. [SPEAKER_12]: And that, yeah. [SPEAKER_14]: And even if, say all that's true, that's not how you do this. [SPEAKER_14]: That's not how this is supposed to work. [SPEAKER_14]: First off, we're not at war with Venezuela. [SPEAKER_07]: Correct. [SPEAKER_14]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_14]: And two, even if we were, there were two people apparently left alive that you let be murdered. [SPEAKER_07]: And we're pretty much wounded.

[SPEAKER_07]: And we don't kill prisoners of war. [SPEAKER_14]: We don't kill prisoners of war. [SPEAKER_14]: It's against a lot. [SPEAKER_14]: There are people that have been put on trial and convicted of said war crimes before. [SPEAKER_07]: But you know, Donald disagrees with us, Jody. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm sure you're not surprised about that. [SPEAKER_07]: Cause you know what he thinks about Pete Higgseth? [SPEAKER_07]: Pete's doing a great job.

[SPEAKER_14]: It's like doing a great job, Brownie. [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: Pete's doing a great job. [SPEAKER_07]: Hey, Donnie. [SPEAKER_07]: Did you know that Pete Higgseth committed war crimes? [SPEAKER_07]: What do you think about that? [SPEAKER_14]: Pete's doing a great job. [SPEAKER_14]: You're just gonna have too much fun with that. [SPEAKER_07]: I think I'm gonna have to put that on the button bar just because of the fact that you are.

[SPEAKER_07]: You know, I mean, you know, honestly, the guy commits war crimes and Donald's reaction is [SPEAKER_07]: Pete is not doing it. [SPEAKER_14]: No, he is not. [SPEAKER_14]: He's terrible. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, you're secretary of defense. [SPEAKER_07]: First of all, there's a reason that we change it from the Department of War to the Secretary of Defense. [SPEAKER_07]: Right.

[SPEAKER_07]: When you call something a Department of War, you are actively telling the world that you are willing and able to be more. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, be a aggressor. [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: This [SPEAKER_07]: It's kind of like in the United States. [SPEAKER_07]: There are, what is it now? [SPEAKER_07]: Three or four guns per person, every man, a child infant, elderly person. [SPEAKER_07]: You got somebody's in a coma. [SPEAKER_07]: Hey, here's four guns. [SPEAKER_07]: Right.

[SPEAKER_07]: So there are certain things that it is really not wise to do. [SPEAKER_07]: I've heard of this TikTok trend where they go and try to kick somebody's door, like run it somebody's door and turn around to the back and kick your front door. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, kids are trying this. [SPEAKER_07]: It's really dumb. [SPEAKER_14]: We had some kids a few years ago. [SPEAKER_14]: We were watching TV, it was nice, you know, had a fire going, we're watching time.

[SPEAKER_14]: And then bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, on our door. [SPEAKER_14]: And it's like, scared the crap out of us. [SPEAKER_07]: Right, that's the idea. [SPEAKER_07]: Except for the fact that people these days have guns. [SPEAKER_07]: You could do that and you may end up like that kid in, well, like, too many kids who've done similar things and ended up with holes or dead.

[SPEAKER_07]: So not a wise idea, which is why you don't go around saying, yeah, you know, we're the biggest swing and you know what in the world. [SPEAKER_07]: And we got the biggest arm supply. [SPEAKER_07]: We're the got the Department of War, right, right? [SPEAKER_07]: Because you do that and somebody else goes, all right, you won't play, boy. [SPEAKER_14]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_14]: I mean, it's, you know, I mean, we had them on tape too, because we have cameras.

[SPEAKER_14]: I put it up on next door. [SPEAKER_14]: Anybody know these little buggers? [SPEAKER_07]: See, technology, times change, things advanced. [SPEAKER_07]: Don't do stupid things. [SPEAKER_07]: If you are in Tennessee, though, do a smart thing. [SPEAKER_07]: If you're in Tennessee, O7, go and vote for after Maine to have until 7 p.m. central time. [SPEAKER_07]: So, [SPEAKER_07]: Make sure you're there. [SPEAKER_07]: All right, look, we have more news on tap.

[SPEAKER_07]: We will talk more about Kick Breaths War crimes. [SPEAKER_07]: We got other news to talk about as well. [SPEAKER_07]: Fresh enough your drink. [SPEAKER_07]: Frank Con, I've come in a little bit later, and of course, a really good drink of the day. [SPEAKER_07]: You'll have to sleuth about one out yourself. [SPEAKER_07]: Fresh enough your drink and come right back. [SPEAKER_07]: It's Tuesday night here at the Puffx Bar.

[SPEAKER_15]: We'll be right back after we'd pay some bills at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_07]: Tuesday night here at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_07]: Thank you very much for joining us from wherever you happen to be we always have a bunch of you folks coming in and joining us from all my great social media platforms and yes from the bar phone as well You can find us on blue sky and threads Instagram Facebook sub stack [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, we're still on Twitter as well.

[SPEAKER_07]: We're all those places and YouTube. [SPEAKER_07]: We can find us at the politics spot, which conveniently is where all of us are right now. [SPEAKER_07]: You, me, Jody, we're all at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_07]: Of course, maybe you're not. [SPEAKER_07]: Maybe you're elsewhere. [SPEAKER_07]: You just want to call in. [SPEAKER_07]: You can always call the [SPEAKER_07]: six seven seven.

[SPEAKER_07]: Salt. [SPEAKER_07]: You know, what can you margarita like we had in the drink of the day yesterday's drink, which is a lovely drink. [SPEAKER_07]: I love that drink. [SPEAKER_07]: It was a very good one. [SPEAKER_07]: Obviously celebrating Mr. Rosa Parks who kicks ass.

[SPEAKER_07]: We did have somebody Texas, Gene and Oregon tip to some of the barline said, why the hell would anybody in Tennessee vote Republican when Trump Republicans denied them disaster funds from FEMA when the devastating floods and tornadoes hit them. [SPEAKER_07]: So vote after Maine. [SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, I mean, why would you vote for these people? [SPEAKER_14]: They're voting. [SPEAKER_14]: I mean, Nancy Mace taking credit for Joe Biden stuff that she voted against.

[SPEAKER_07]: Nancy Mace is she got well. [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know what is wrong with her, but I do wish that she would get some help. [SPEAKER_14]: She needs some serious help. [SPEAKER_14]: I mean, she's been re-traumatized with the Epstein file, so there's that problem. [SPEAKER_07]: I get that, and I don't, you know, I don't wish her ill because of that. [SPEAKER_14]: No, no, no, no, she needs to, she needs to sit down and, and speak with somebody.

[SPEAKER_07]: That serious, gets serious mental health. [SPEAKER_14]: She does. [SPEAKER_14]: She needs it badly. [SPEAKER_07]: Call, call better help or somebody, but for God's sake, it's help, because she's. [SPEAKER_07]: Even there were even Republicans, even some who, I think, what was it? [SPEAKER_07]: Did I just see another member of who re-election campaign committee just, I thought she was going to run for governor too? [SPEAKER_14]: Wasn't she going to run for governor?

[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know. [SPEAKER_07]: I just, I know that Republicans right now are scrambling like hell. [SPEAKER_07]: In part because they are terrified that the holes are awful for them. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, they should be, at least.

[SPEAKER_07]: As far as I think about it, yeah, they are, they are, and, and they are reacting, let's just say poorly, I mean, so look, if you go to the election land section of the news on tap today, the second round, Tennessee special action does have Republicans nervous and Democrats get it because even if Democrats get within a single digit, it's going to be great and even outside of Tennessee, Democrats are now starting to feel both heating and red areas, right, which.

[SPEAKER_07]: It makes sense to me, at some point, at some point, we should probably get Jane Kleben here. [SPEAKER_07]: She's the head of the Nebraska Democratic Party. [SPEAKER_07]: I've known Jane for a long time. [SPEAKER_07]: Jane and I don't always agree, just so that you know what I do like, I do like Jane. [SPEAKER_07]: And Jane has been saying this for the whole time, I've known her probably before, which is just run.

[SPEAKER_07]: If you're a Democrat, even if you're a little, especially, exactly. [SPEAKER_14]: Just one. [SPEAKER_14]: Got nothing. [SPEAKER_14]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_14]: I mean, yes, it takes a toll on your body and your family and all that stuff, so it's not like you're not going to be stressed out and it costs a lot of money, unfortunately still. [SPEAKER_14]: But just if you got C'mon DNC, come on, D triple C, come on DCC, support these people. [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_07]: We don't win the fights that we don't take, and if if you're bitching about, well, we don't have a whole lot of Democrats in rural areas. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, are you a Democrat in rural area? [SPEAKER_07]: You know a Democrat in rural area. [SPEAKER_07]: Do you know somebody in rural area who you go, man, this person would be a really good legislator or maybe they'd be a good governor? [SPEAKER_07]: Great.

[SPEAKER_07]: Can that them with the people who you think might say the same thing, who might have some reach into other political avenues to try to get them, if you don't run anybody, [SPEAKER_07]: you can't be somebody with nobody. [SPEAKER_07]: Right. [SPEAKER_07]: So I'm glad that after Baine is running and whether she wins a loses, I'm glad that she ran. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Because it means the next time that a Democrat runs and remember she's running for house seats.

[SPEAKER_07]: That's every two years. [SPEAKER_07]: Which basically means actually whoever is running is going to be running to finish the term of the guy who quit early. [SPEAKER_07]: And then they'll have to get elected next year. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: So literally it'll be like six months or less. [SPEAKER_07]: If she loses, she may just roll it into another campaign and try to get to see it again.

[SPEAKER_07]: But in areas where Democrats have that kind of a thing, the best thing to do is you try. [SPEAKER_07]: And the next time it'll be a little easier for you or for somebody else. [SPEAKER_14]: Look at Mississippi. [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_14]: You know, because a lot of Republicans really, really upset too. [SPEAKER_14]: It's not just Democrats that are upset. [SPEAKER_14]: Little Republicans in a lot of independent rate. [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_07]: Just because you are registered for as as an independent or you can be registered in New York City as a working family's party member. [SPEAKER_07]: Uh-huh. [SPEAKER_07]: Who, uh, hi, Sarah. [SPEAKER_07]: I know she works for working part of your working family, so that's friend of mine there anyway.

[SPEAKER_07]: Um, but, um, [SPEAKER_07]: you can be registered and you can vote for whoever you could be previously unregistered and go to the polls and register that day and vote for whoever you want. [SPEAKER_07]: Just because you're registered for a particular political party does not mean that you have to vote for that party.

[SPEAKER_14]: No, I mean, I have friends that when Biden was running a long time old school Reagan Republicans mind you, and they voted for Joe Biden, of course, because they're not idiots. [SPEAKER_14]: You know, and it's like, no, and they're still registered Republicans for some strange reason, but that's, you know, their identity. [SPEAKER_07]: And here's one of the reasons why you might not want to be a registered Republican.

[SPEAKER_07]: So, at least 11 Republicans were targeted with threats on swatting attacks. [SPEAKER_07]: uh... because they weren't standing with Donald Trump in the redistricting war that's what republicans are saying this is we also have uh... for the dead because it's a little bit different this wasn't quite as election related this is a miscellaneous section in the fourth round uh... that uh... senator shumer said that multiple of his offices had been receiving maga bomb threats

[SPEAKER_07]: That's, if you're a Republican right now, like it or not, that's who you're standing with. [SPEAKER_07]: And you can change your administration or not. [SPEAKER_07]: But you probably should not be voting for people who don't want to have that as the face in the image of their party. [SPEAKER_14]: Well, the thing is, is like, when mags three toes started getting upset with Donald, she started getting threats, she never got them from us. [SPEAKER_07]: Right.

[SPEAKER_07]: This is something you and I've talked about this on and off [SPEAKER_07]: long time. [SPEAKER_07]: I can't even before we start the bar. [SPEAKER_07]: Um, I've talked about it with people for years. [SPEAKER_07]: Virtually every producer of a left-leaning talk radio show that I know of has gotten not just a little death threats, not just have you or to kill you legitimate viable death threats that you have to worry about. [SPEAKER_14]: Well, that's you call the FBI for yes.

[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: And I want you to call the cops at the FBI for Chris and Travis. [SPEAKER_07]: I do a bolder one for the Tom Hartman's police. [SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, God. [SPEAKER_07]: Stephanie Randy. [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, the host themselves as well as, but I'm talking the host. [SPEAKER_07]: I hate to say this, but you would almost expect it. [SPEAKER_07]: Like I would expect that Laura and your him had gotten such things before.

[SPEAKER_07]: Sure. [SPEAKER_07]: Like it or not. [SPEAKER_07]: And I don't like her. [SPEAKER_07]: Could even though I worked for her. [SPEAKER_07]: But [SPEAKER_07]: But you producers, you're like, hey, you know, like when I work for Randy, I was just the idiot who answered the phone at the first time that I got my first verifiable death real when I worked for. [SPEAKER_07]: And yet I got him. [SPEAKER_07]: John Manzy produced Randy before me. [SPEAKER_07]: He got him.

[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know of a producer on a left-leaning talk show on a major national left-leaning talk show who hasn't. [SPEAKER_07]: And yet, as I worked for Laura and I worked for EWTN, they really haven't started to get these until Trump popped up about 10 years ago on the right. [SPEAKER_07]: And then it was anybody who was MAGA and didn't see other Republicans as sufficiently MAGA enough, they were threatening those Republicans.

[SPEAKER_07]: Just like these Republicans in Indiana are getting threatened now, it's the same thing. [SPEAKER_07]: It's the same group of people.

[SPEAKER_07]: Now aren't there now three state senators in Indiana that are going to vote no one that registered to I believe so three that have that have publicly announced there are several others that have not but they simply don't have the numbers there's not trying to they're going to push through with it anyway I think in part so that they can show Donald Trump we tried but we didn't have the numbers right one of them in part because of you but we didn't have a numbers so this is now a dead issue

[SPEAKER_07]: at least in Indian. [SPEAKER_14]: Well, I mean, Indian is bright red anyway. [SPEAKER_14]: I don't understand that. [SPEAKER_07]: Because this is how magica does politics at the point of a gun, at the barrel of a gun, because that's how they think it works. [SPEAKER_07]: It's not politics to them. [SPEAKER_07]: It's bullying. [SPEAKER_07]: And as anybody who has talked about bullying and understands it knows, there is a spectrum. [SPEAKER_07]: Bullying is no great terrorism.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, that's all it is. [SPEAKER_07]: It is terrorism all the same. [SPEAKER_07]: Your kid or your grand kid or your niece or your nephew. [SPEAKER_07]: They are at school and they are especially in early elementary school. [SPEAKER_07]: The terror that they feel from the class bully if they are bullied. [SPEAKER_07]: And I hope they're not. [SPEAKER_07]: But if they are the terror that they feel real. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's terrorism all the same.

[SPEAKER_07]: So it is terrorism. [SPEAKER_07]: It's just a misleading scale between, you know, third grade bully and, you know, plain into the world trades center. [SPEAKER_07]: Right. [SPEAKER_07]: The big scale there, I get it. [SPEAKER_07]: But it's a sliding scale. [SPEAKER_07]: And there's all kinds of versions of terrorism there. [SPEAKER_07]: It's still terrorism. [SPEAKER_07]: And that's what Margaret thinks is politics. [SPEAKER_14]: They do, they're just so.

[SPEAKER_07]: I just, I, you know, and the fact that they constantly keep pumping out a bunch of BS and a bunch of lies, I was, I was just, I was so astounded to hear that Caroline actually said this today, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

[SPEAKER_00]: big news that we see pumped out of this building on a day-to-day basis. [SPEAKER_00]: It's, it's honestly overwhelming to keep up with it. [SPEAKER_07]: It is, you know, because when we quote you, it's just, yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: It would help if they told the truth, but yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: The truth does not serve them very well. [SPEAKER_07]: And I understand that, they have problems with the truth, which is why we suggest voting for Captain Bay because she knows the truth.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, just saying. [SPEAKER_07]: So in the war crimes of Trump land, we played you a bunch of stuff there. [SPEAKER_07]: That is still the first round of this action of the news on tap, which you can get for free at thepoliticsbar.com. [SPEAKER_07]: And we played you a few of those clips. [SPEAKER_07]: But Caroline actually, [SPEAKER_07]: wasn't just Pete Higgs at the admitted it.

[SPEAKER_07]: Caroline admitted it's actually gay good to hear as of NBC asked her and and for once she didn't berate him or treat him like crap she actually told him the truth. [SPEAKER_07]: Here let me let me play this on the GDR2. [SPEAKER_01]: The administration denied that second strike happened or did it happen and the administration denied that secretary Higgs said he had [SPEAKER_00]: The latter is true aim and I have a statement to read for you here.

[SPEAKER_00]: President Trump and Secretary Hegsev have made it clear that Presidentially designated Narco Terrorist groups or subject to lethal targeting in accordance with the laws of war. [SPEAKER_00]: With respect to the strikes in question on September 2nd, Secretary Hegsev authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. [SPEAKER_14]: I have a question. [SPEAKER_14]: Yes. [SPEAKER_14]: Are they going to name the Narco Terrorist gangs?

[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Not only that, there is nothing in law that gives a specific legal designation to narco terrorism. [SPEAKER_14]: Well, and the other thing is, David Ferguson was explaining this and it's just obvious. [SPEAKER_14]: He does drug dealers and drug smugglers just want to make money. [SPEAKER_14]: They don't want to topple governments. [SPEAKER_14]: They don't, especially government like ours. [SPEAKER_14]: There's no way they could.

[SPEAKER_14]: And it's like, yeah, they control small towns and things like that for sure, but [SPEAKER_14]: They're they're not gonna try to control the United States they're in a business. [SPEAKER_14]: They're in a business. [SPEAKER_14]: They want money money They want people to be happy with their product Well, they many of them don't necessarily care about that. [SPEAKER_14]: Well, they want them to be buying it [SPEAKER_07]: That's true.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yes. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: They're not necessarily, uh, uh, uh, they don't necessarily care about the, the happiness of the customer. [SPEAKER_14]: They just want the customer to keep coming back. [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: And they want to make money. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: And it to make money. [SPEAKER_07]: They're not in it.

[SPEAKER_07]: right there it's not ideological for most of them has nothing to do with ideology they don't care if you're rich or you're poor or you're Republican independent or democratic they don't care if you're American or from some other country are you willing to buy great that's what they care about so well obviously Donnie you know it's been said before and I'll say it again I haven't said it before I don't think but Donald is going after Venezuela a he doesn't like Maduro and

[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, exactly, Jerry's right. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, and you have said it, you see, yeah, I think you said it maybe last week or maybe yesterday, but yeah, it is the fact is it's that he wants he wants the well from Venezuela, which is stupid, there's a whole list of reasons at some point we can go on about that, but

[SPEAKER_07]: The thing for me, so the guy who actually had his hand on the button, if you will, this was the communications button, not necessarily the individual airman or flying sailor, whatever you want, depending on who made the shot. [SPEAKER_07]: It was a guy named Admiral Bradley, Admiral Mitch Bradley. [SPEAKER_07]: Now, Bradley used to be a head of J-Sock. [SPEAKER_07]: I know for those of you who are, oh, oh, Marvel fan. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I know, J-Sock.

[SPEAKER_07]: For that, a lot of people don't necessarily know. [SPEAKER_07]: J-Sock is the joint special operations command. [SPEAKER_07]: It's basically the special forces of the special forces. [SPEAKER_07]: And some people, me included were wondering, maybe did he get his promotion to four-star Admiral this year because he did Higgs S. bidding? [SPEAKER_07]: The answer to that is no, he was actually approved for his four-star by the Senate this summer prior to these.

[SPEAKER_07]: Prior to this, yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Now, did he feel some? [SPEAKER_07]: loyalty or or guilt or whatever the headset maybe. [SPEAKER_07]: But the fact is you don't get to be the head of J. Sock or the head of now now he's the commander of the US special operations command so com those of you know that one. [SPEAKER_07]: You don't get to be that without understanding the rules and especially without understanding when somebody is trying to back up the bus or in this case the boat.

[SPEAKER_07]: and put the blame on you. [SPEAKER_07]: And I'm pretty sure Admiral Bradley knows all about that. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm sure he does. [SPEAKER_07]: What's off a little bit more about that? [SPEAKER_07]: I am, as you can tell, a little bit parts. [SPEAKER_07]: So I think we should do the drink of the day coming back next. [SPEAKER_07]: For those people who couldn't sus it out, maybe you're like, man, I'm trying to investigate. [SPEAKER_07]: What's wrong with your voice?

[SPEAKER_07]: I need a drink. [SPEAKER_07]: So we're going to do the drink of the day and you will figure out what are little investigative references for all about coming up. [SPEAKER_07]: fresh to your drink. [SPEAKER_07]: Don't you got to do? [SPEAKER_15]: Come on back in just a couple minutes here at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_07]: Tuesday night here at politics bar. [SPEAKER_07]: You got your joke Hamilton.

[SPEAKER_07]: You got your me Sean Smith pairs and later the night you're gonna have Frank Conniff coming into the bar which I'm not excited about. [SPEAKER_07]: That'll be fun. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, we'll be a good time. [SPEAKER_07]: So haven't talked to Frank since it's been a couple of years since he was on John Show. [SPEAKER_07]: We'll talk about that. [SPEAKER_07]: By the way, if you do miss anything, you're like, wait a minute. [SPEAKER_07]: I miss that interview.

[SPEAKER_07]: I didn't hear it. [SPEAKER_07]: The best thing you could do is subscribe to the politics bar podcast. [SPEAKER_07]: $6 a month less than a buck 50 a week. [SPEAKER_07]: That way, you get the podcast ad-free. [SPEAKER_07]: You can listen to it twice the speed if you want. [SPEAKER_07]: We're not your parents. [SPEAKER_07]: We don't tell you how to listen to it. [SPEAKER_07]: But you do get the podcast ad-free. [SPEAKER_07]: You do get the drink of the day with the recipe.

[SPEAKER_07]: And you also happen to get that news on tap for free. [SPEAKER_07]: We throw that in nice gift. [SPEAKER_07]: You could give it to yourself. [SPEAKER_07]: Somebody else. [SPEAKER_07]: Solid A season. [SPEAKER_07]: So check it out. [SPEAKER_07]: It's there at the politics bar dot com. [SPEAKER_07]: All right, Jody. [SPEAKER_07]: It is Tuesday night and I'm thinking, you know, the drink of the day today. [SPEAKER_07]: It's How should I phrase this?

[SPEAKER_07]: it's something you can be curious about exactly the best way to figure it out is just to subscribe absolutely that's it for those people who didn't subscribe and they're just listening in their cars or sitting in the bar or whatever they are here what is the drink of the day and what is it you [SPEAKER_14]: The drink of the day is called a Sherlock Holmes cocktail, which is inspired by the birthday of Dr. Joseph Bell, who was the inspiration for the sleuth.

[SPEAKER_07]: That's very cool. [SPEAKER_07]: So this Dr. Bell, gentlemen, but when was it? [SPEAKER_07]: What was he born? [SPEAKER_14]: He was born today in 1837. [SPEAKER_07]: Obviously, not around anymore, got it. [SPEAKER_14]: He got his medical, well, you never know. [SPEAKER_14]: He got his medical, okay, how smart a doctor was he? [SPEAKER_14]: He got his medical degree in 1859, so young, and he was a brilliant doctor and a professor at the Edinburgh Rail Infirmary.

[SPEAKER_14]: He was known to emphasize the importance of making small close observations to his students. [SPEAKER_14]: So like picking up little things and figuring stuff out, you know, to figure out what's going on. [SPEAKER_14]: And so Scotland Yard actually did bring him some cases because he was a very good forensic doctor. [SPEAKER_07]: So he really was like the real life inspiration for Sir Arthur Conan Doyles by the way did he didn't he know Arthur Conan Doyle is like

[SPEAKER_14]: I, 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, no, no, no

[SPEAKER_07]: But I mean, look, he obviously, Sherlock Holmes was an interesting character. [SPEAKER_07]: Had some vices, you know, some wines of cocaine, obviously. [SPEAKER_07]: The Johnny Depp version of modern version I don't think did cocaine. [SPEAKER_07]: But I mean, Sherlock Holmes has always been a brilliant, but flawed character. [SPEAKER_07]: There are people, I think, I've seen debates that say, you know, oh, so was Sherlock Holmes on the spectrum?

[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know, he could have been. [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, there are people who are on the spectrum who are brilliant about a certain, you know, certain things like Dean Kales, and yet they don't necessarily handle certain social interactions and social, you know, Sherlock Holmes was not always the best at social interactions. [SPEAKER_07]: So I don't know, could have been on this spectrum. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm not Arthur Conan Doyle. [SPEAKER_07]: And you can write your own fiction too.

[SPEAKER_07]: You can take it and do, what was it? [SPEAKER_07]: Well, there was a show. [SPEAKER_07]: I think it was on, was it CBS or on? [SPEAKER_14]: There's a show right now called Watson on CBS. [SPEAKER_14]: It's about a doctor who worked with the same name Sherlock Holmes. [SPEAKER_14]: Yes, but more stress at plays him. [SPEAKER_14]: He plays Watson. [SPEAKER_14]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, C. That's just it. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's done.

[SPEAKER_07]: You knew exactly what I was thinking of. [SPEAKER_07]: Because you had, you know me so well, and you had assessed the small details. [SPEAKER_14]: And well, I like Watson. [SPEAKER_14]: It's a good show. [SPEAKER_07]: see. [SPEAKER_07]: Good TV is fun and we like that and we will talk with Frank. [SPEAKER_14]: Frank, little bit like TV, Frank. [SPEAKER_07]: TV, Frank. [SPEAKER_14]: TV, Frank. [SPEAKER_14]: TV, Frank.

[SPEAKER_07]: For now though, with the drink of the day, how do we make a sure like home, Scott. [SPEAKER_14]: You're going to need a shaker, some ice, a pre-chilled coupe glass, a half ounce of Scotch whiskey, single mop, please. [SPEAKER_14]: an ounce of ordinary black tea. [SPEAKER_14]: Don't use green tea. [SPEAKER_14]: It will not taste right if you use green tea. [SPEAKER_14]: It's very specific.

[SPEAKER_14]: One ounce of honey syrup just makes equal quantities of honey and warm water to create the syrup. [SPEAKER_14]: It's easy. [SPEAKER_14]: Three quarters of an ounce of fresh lemon juice. [SPEAKER_14]: And so what you do is you add all of that fun stuff to your shaker with some ice and you shake it until it's cold and then you strain it into your preshial coop glass and it's Simple to make and it sounds like it's yummy too.

[SPEAKER_14]: Sounds like a really good combination of taste. [SPEAKER_07]: I like I like to different Sherlock Holmes quotes why you know I stuck that in I said that at the bottom because I know you did the other day. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, you know, I like this because it honestly reminds me somewhat of Donald Trump and those who are not Donald Trump.

[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, the, the extra lock home quote that I like was mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius, which makes sense, because Donald Trump is definitely mediocre, and he thinks nothing is better than himself, yes, which, yeah, sorry, Donnie, a lot of things better than you anyway. [SPEAKER_07]: Uh, look, if you guys missed any part of the drink of the day, the smart thing to do to get subscribed, the politics bar. [SPEAKER_07]: All right.

[SPEAKER_07]: There is, of course, more stuff in the news on tap. [SPEAKER_07]: We will obviously come back a little bit to the work crime stuff because it is important. [SPEAKER_07]: But there is some other stuff important as well, including in the third round news on tap tonight in the Republicans can't govern section because well, well, it's can't govern.

[SPEAKER_14]: I'm with Costco on that because they're the biggest company suing right now and they've got the money and they're a good company. [SPEAKER_07]: They are they are generally really good. [SPEAKER_07]: I think I want to hear that they, um, Trump regime tried to, you know, oh, DEI stuff and they're like, yeah, we like DEI. [SPEAKER_07]: It gives us a good in place of bite me in Costco. [SPEAKER_07]: So yeah, I'm I'm glad.

[SPEAKER_07]: They're pretty good, although they may start a chain reaction issue in other companies may suit too, which we'll see about that. [SPEAKER_07]: It'll be interesting. [SPEAKER_07]: The latest from I believe it's from Reuters says that US manufacturing is stuck in the doldrums as the tariff headwinds persist. [SPEAKER_07]: I don't understand why other than the fact that Donald thinks the tariff's are a good thing. [SPEAKER_07]: He is stuck in that. [SPEAKER_07]: That is his.

[SPEAKER_07]: if he has any ideology at all, that's that's part of it. [SPEAKER_14]: Well, the thing is is like tariffs used properly, strategically, surgically, but passed by legislation and you know it's going to be law for the next 15, 20, 30 years. [SPEAKER_14]: Well, you've been in slow and very slowly. [SPEAKER_14]: Yes, I mean, it can work fine. [SPEAKER_14]: It's just he's doing it in a williness. [SPEAKER_07]: It's a tiny scalpel. [SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, it's kind of a tiny little thing.

[SPEAKER_07]: And he's, welcome all exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: You know, we both did that at the same time, it just shows great minds.

[SPEAKER_07]: It is, it is, and I'm sure you guys, I'm sure, so be here in the bar, yes, I see you, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're in the whole Donkey Kong thing too, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you

[SPEAKER_07]: Housing affordability is now considerably worse than five years ago.

[SPEAKER_07]: That's story according to newsweek You definitely should check that out, but if you're wondering why There are a lot of reasons for it and I you remember one of the big things that Kamala was campaigning on a year ago Was making housing affordability better Conveniently it's now worse Looks like the people who voted for Donald vote the wrong way sugar [SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, and a lot of them anecdotally are taking down the Trump flags saying no to this.

[SPEAKER_14]: I mean, it's it's not Is this early trend, but I'm glad I'm glad there's some of them are waking up [SPEAKER_07]: admitting that you're wrong is not a sign that you're stupid. [SPEAKER_07]: It's not a sign of being bad. [SPEAKER_07]: Admitting you're wrong is actually to me at least, I think, a sign of maturity. [SPEAKER_14]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_07]: Bigger wrong is you say, I used to think this. [SPEAKER_07]: And then, you know, I was a kid.

[SPEAKER_07]: I thought maybe that the moon was made of green cheese. [SPEAKER_07]: that I know it's not. [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, there's nothing wrong with admitting that you didn't know something and that you were smart enough and curious enough to learn about it. [SPEAKER_07]: So now you're smarter. [SPEAKER_07]: Wouldn't you don't you think it's kind of a bragging thing? [SPEAKER_07]: You know, I used to be kind of dumb on this particular subject, but now I'm smarter.

[SPEAKER_14]: Well, I learned, well, like, I used to think before I learned that a flat tax would be a good idea. [SPEAKER_14]: And then a friend of mine learned, schooled me on and it goes, and that my view is now a flat progressive tax. [SPEAKER_14]: So it's at this point in this point. [SPEAKER_14]: And that, so you don't have as much paperwork and not so much write-offs because that would make it more equal for everybody.

[SPEAKER_14]: But, you know, a flat, you know, say 30% tax across the country. [SPEAKER_07]: But I still think one of the big things we need to do is go back to doing what we did. [SPEAKER_07]: Basically, post World War II until about 1980, which is, we did this crazy thing where we taxed the rich, and we taxed corporations, you know Massachusetts, especially Boston. [SPEAKER_07]: They have done that. [SPEAKER_07]: They did it in Massachusetts's home and they did it in Boston as well.

[SPEAKER_07]: Gay mayor, woo. [SPEAKER_07]: God, she's great. [SPEAKER_07]: And they actually believe have more people who are wealthy. [SPEAKER_07]: Move to Boston.

[SPEAKER_07]: so it's because you've got better schools you've got all sorts of things that improve better public right that the because you're you are lifting the floor of poverty when you lift the floor of poverty and make sure that the people who are there are earning living wages they are less likely to commit crimes to get the basic needs that they have [SPEAKER_07]: It's, you see, and, and if you lift the floor, it's one of the reasons why university health care works so well.

[SPEAKER_07]: If you're not having to do crazy things in order to get health care, then you'll be healthy. [SPEAKER_07]: You'll report to work more often, instead of calling out sick. [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, the, [SPEAKER_07]: The idea that we are not tied together, which I know is a Republican idea, you know. [SPEAKER_07]: I am a self-made person. [SPEAKER_07]: No, you're not. [SPEAKER_14]: Nobody is. [SPEAKER_07]: Judd is right. [SPEAKER_14]: Nobody is.

[SPEAKER_14]: I had a discussion with a friend of mine who's a libertarian, and he was like, well, my dad did everything on its own. [SPEAKER_14]: I said, really, did he pave his own roads? [SPEAKER_14]: exactly I can just start with that did he pay the roads for himself and when he went to school did his parents pay for school or did he get to the electricity? [SPEAKER_14]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_14]: I mean these are things he's aware I think is dad and it was like dude your dad got help.

[SPEAKER_14]: You know, my mom got help. [SPEAKER_14]: My dad got help. [SPEAKER_14]: I got more help than they both did combined because they were better off than their respective parents. [SPEAKER_07]: Right. [SPEAKER_07]: But that's that's how it is. [SPEAKER_07]: We all get. [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, we exist as part of a whole.

[SPEAKER_07]: and the idea that even the people who you know those those TV shows that you have in the discovery channel of you know person who is you know living in middle of Alaska middle of nowhere or whatever except they send out for stuff parts and things that are occasionally shipped to them they go into town once in a while to get things that they can't do themselves. [SPEAKER_07]: even they know. [SPEAKER_14]: Quincey Melch made people had some sort of help again with the balloons.

[SPEAKER_14]: Some sort of help on the way and you look at Tom Harman was talking about Bill Gates senior. [SPEAKER_14]: He interviewed him years ago and he said, you know, my son is smart, you know, when it comes to computers and stuff, but he had a leg up. [SPEAKER_14]: more than other people because we were not super wealthy, but we were well off. [SPEAKER_14]: So he was able to do what he did. [SPEAKER_14]: The opportunities he was given were better than this upper middle class.

[SPEAKER_14]: Jeff Bezos, upper middle class. [SPEAKER_07]: You know, it's harder when you're not self-made people. [SPEAKER_14]: No, it's harder when you come from say where my mom came from and where my dad came from and they both had help and they both, my mom keeps paying it forward because [SPEAKER_14]: That's what she wants. [SPEAKER_14]: My dad did the same thing. [SPEAKER_07]: Your mom is notorious for paying it for it, which is fantastic. [SPEAKER_07]: And we love her for that.

[SPEAKER_14]: And that's because she understands. [SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: But that's, that's just it. [SPEAKER_07]: Nobody is in this life by themselves. [SPEAKER_07]: Nobody. [SPEAKER_07]: And the idea that people go, well, I can do it all myself. [SPEAKER_07]: No, you can't. [SPEAKER_07]: No, you can. [SPEAKER_14]: No, you can. [UNKNOWN]: No, you can. [SPEAKER_07]: No, you can. [SPEAKER_07]: It's crazy. [SPEAKER_07]: Joining, I know this fact is we do this.

[SPEAKER_07]: We help each other all the time, because that's just how this works. [SPEAKER_07]: And we help you guys, too, which is good. [SPEAKER_07]: In fact, we're going to help you get Frank Connaff. [SPEAKER_07]: Here in the bar, we got to clean a few things up here. [SPEAKER_07]: So it is the top of the hour. [SPEAKER_07]: What we're going to do, we're going to clean a few things up. [SPEAKER_07]: If you've got to clean yourself up, whatever, down the hall, left, right, center, look.

[SPEAKER_07]: Most of the time, I think, when I have spoken to Frank, is when he was on John Fugel's saying show early on, when he was on every episode of John Show. [SPEAKER_07]: And I would call in to John Show at that point, because I think I was, what was I doing?

[SPEAKER_07]: I think that was the interim between the time that I was working for Randy and the time I was working for Bill Press. [SPEAKER_07]: Okay. [SPEAKER_07]: So, what I would, you know? [SPEAKER_07]: Anyway, it'll be fun to see Frank. [SPEAKER_07]: He'll be here. [SPEAKER_07]: So, there you go. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, you have more news on tap. [SPEAKER_07]: Obviously, we will be talking a little bit more about Pete Kegbrett and his war crimes because that is a huge story.

[SPEAKER_07]: But of course we want to hit the entertainment a little bit obviously there is some medium matters to attend to paramount skydances latest bid for Warner Brothers Discovery is backed by three middle eastern wealth funds of course it is yeah I when we get a decent government again we definitely have to get a handle on all this money yeah because wasn't Fox News owned by a lot of people in like Saudi Arabia [SPEAKER_07]: Well, we'll have to figure some of these things out.

[SPEAKER_07]: Anyway, the Supreme Court is also this week, weighing in on liability. [SPEAKER_07]: I think they had the thing that heard the case yesterday of internet providers that they're looking to liability of internet providers for users, music piracy. [SPEAKER_07]: which I would also apply then to like movie piracy and book piracy. [SPEAKER_14]: Well, you, I mean, YouTube clamped down on that. [SPEAKER_14]: Like when I uploaded the sketch that I sent you guys yesterday, right.

[SPEAKER_14]: They do a quick copyright sketch check on everything before you upload. [SPEAKER_14]: Because I have another thing up there that they've allowed me to put up, but I can't make any money off of because the music that we're using, even though the story is mine,

[SPEAKER_07]: the music that we're using is not so we can't make we can't monetize off of that so that's fine with me it's like all right this is copyright material i want to take any i'm fine with that and i get that i get that for you know if it's just a personal youtube page or or it's something like that i absolutely get that but for businesses you know the the number of shows that i work with whether it's randies or staffs or bills and and you put stuff up on youtube and it is a commentary show

[SPEAKER_07]: ours is a it's an informed commentary show here at the politics bar that's why we give you the news on tap for free so that way you can be informed when you come and talk and hang out with us and it's fun but commentary shows oftentimes refer like we played a bunch of clips last hour we may play some again this hour but we played a bunch of clips last hour. [SPEAKER_07]: And sometimes there are, for example, if you try to play a clip, any clip from 60 minutes.

[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, forget about it. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: A channel four from the UK, anything from them gone. [SPEAKER_07]: They will immediately be like, no, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, yeah. [SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, don't play any eagles because Don Henley will come after you. [SPEAKER_07]: Right. [SPEAKER_07]: And you're like, all I'm doing is I'm referencing this particular thing.

[SPEAKER_07]: I need to be able to show it and have the audience hear it so that when I say I'm reference thing, this particular thing, this is what I'm referencing because not everybody comes in now when the same stuff. [SPEAKER_07]: People come into the bar all the time and they're the same stuff we do. [SPEAKER_07]: That's, again, why we provide the news on taps that way you come into the conversation and be like, oh, you know what I'm talking about?

[SPEAKER_07]: For example, when it comes to entertainment, I know that a lot of people loves foranger things and I have seen tons of clips over the years. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, man. [SPEAKER_07]: I have not seen a full episode of Stranger Things ever. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_07]: Dude, I've been busy the last few years. [SPEAKER_14]: Well, you've got to come up with a week's off coming up, you know? [SPEAKER_07]: Which I'm going to use to put up more video. [SPEAKER_07]: Of course you are.

[SPEAKER_07]: What does he say? [SPEAKER_07]: I am, you know? [SPEAKER_07]: I'm working for you here, people. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm working here, I'm working here. [SPEAKER_07]: $60 a month. [SPEAKER_07]: Help us out, come on. [SPEAKER_07]: the politics bar.com. [SPEAKER_07]: Anyway, but yeah, I'm most of the last 10 years. [SPEAKER_07]: I've been trying to make sure that the orange monster and his fascist minions did not drive the entire society into the flaming mob health forever.

[SPEAKER_07]: Unfortunately, there were a bunch of mega idiots and stupid people who didn't vote to have been stymying my efforts. [SPEAKER_07]: But [SPEAKER_07]: There are a lot of us who are working hard to try to actually save the, you know, save your corner of the universe. [SPEAKER_07]: You don't have to save the whole damn world. [SPEAKER_07]: Ain't nobody's Superman, anybody Wonder Woman. [SPEAKER_07]: But if you save your neighborhood, you save your neighbor.

[SPEAKER_07]: You like, like you said, what was it? [SPEAKER_07]: Was it to Mindy last week that you were talking about? [SPEAKER_07]: I'm just saying. [SPEAKER_07]: He talked with the neighbor and that you had or maybe maybe it's yeah and you know the neighbors.

[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I didn't I didn't know that about labor or whatever Like yeah, I mean it's it's very simple Savior corner the world save save your neighborhood Start there we've everybody did the same thing Then it's going to end up saving the world

[SPEAKER_07]: But some of us have to operate a little bit higher up than make sure that, yes, okay, we've taken, we've stood in the inside the fire hose of news and unfortunately because of that, there's a lot of entertainment that I missed over the last decade or so, including stranger things. [SPEAKER_14]: Because that is a decade old now, because they're all all the characters that have 10 years older. [SPEAKER_07]: I saw that Millie, Bobby Brown. [SPEAKER_14]: She said, Molly.

[SPEAKER_07]: Bobby. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, she's changed her name now. [SPEAKER_07]: Now she is, what is it? [SPEAKER_07]: Millie actually because her her her her maiden name was Millie Bonnie Bobby Brown and then it was Millie Bonnie Bobby Brown Ponjiovie and she changed it and she just got rid of the so it's now it's Millie Bonnie Ponjiovie or she calls herself Millie Bond Bond. [SPEAKER_14]: There you go. [SPEAKER_07]: which I'm like, okay, that's cute. [SPEAKER_07]: She's adorable.

[SPEAKER_14]: And she's really good actor and all of them. [SPEAKER_07]: She's a mom now. [SPEAKER_07]: She's a mom. [SPEAKER_14]: She's amazing. [SPEAKER_14]: And these four episodes that just dropped and they were dropping the rest of the season on Christmas. [SPEAKER_14]: Oh. [SPEAKER_14]: Merry Christmas, everybody. [SPEAKER_14]: The last episode was jaw dropping.

[SPEAKER_07]: It was just like I will have to I will have to when I get some time go back and and watch like I said I you know I I've watched enough clips that I understood what's going on. [SPEAKER_07]: Just because you understand what's going on, I mean, you can you can understand an entire movie or an entire book or an entire song. [SPEAKER_07]: And then when you go back and re-experience it, you get a whole different thing from that.

[SPEAKER_07]: Speaking of which Apple music has their year-end replay, what was the number one song on their 2025 music songs chart? [SPEAKER_07]: It's got to be a Taylor Swift song. [SPEAKER_07]: Nope, it's from Rosé and Bruno Mars. [SPEAKER_14]: No, okay. [SPEAKER_07]: App, [SPEAKER_14]: It's good. [SPEAKER_14]: It's good. [SPEAKER_14]: I love Bremarz. [SPEAKER_14]: He's an amazing singer. [SPEAKER_07]: Bremarz is, I think, on there, like, two or three times in their top 25.

[SPEAKER_14]: He's surprising. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: He's pretty good. [SPEAKER_07]: He's very good. [SPEAKER_07]: Some sad news, unfortunately. [SPEAKER_07]: Full-hars, full-hars, starting to be in Dave Cooleyay. [SPEAKER_07]: Cut. [SPEAKER_07]: It out. [SPEAKER_07]: Really? [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: He diagnosed with tongue cancer seven months after beating non-Hodgkins lymphoma. [SPEAKER_14]: That poor man.

[SPEAKER_07]: which sucks hopefully he won't have to have his his tongue removed because that would really suck that would hopefully they can treat it yeah i can't so sucks yeah and and by the way if you think cancer sucks uh just to make sure you understand the trump regime has done a bunch of stuff thank you rfk junior to cut uh cancer fighting research

[SPEAKER_14]: Because he doesn't like mRNA vaccines and mRNA technology, which might cure so many diseases HIV, I mean all sorts of things hepatitis Oh, that's just that just put it under control actually cure it cure it [SPEAKER_07]: So, just saying. [SPEAKER_07]: Anyway, speaking of things that people don't necessarily know about. [SPEAKER_07]: Have you heard anything about Lane Kiffin? [SPEAKER_07]: I happen to know a little bit about Lane Kiffin.

[SPEAKER_07]: I know some stuff I can't even say about Lane Kiffin. [SPEAKER_14]: Then don't. [SPEAKER_07]: Don't fear. [SPEAKER_07]: He's a very controversial head football coach. [SPEAKER_07]: And basically he took Ole Miss to an 11-in-1 football season this year. [SPEAKER_07]: College football for those of you who don't know. [SPEAKER_07]: then he left to go be the head coach of rival LSU. [SPEAKER_07]: They're in the same conference and he's leaving before the bull game. [SPEAKER_07]: What?

[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah big huge stink and the school is stuck with a what is it 54 million dollar bill they have to pay him? [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_14]: Oh that seems like a lawsuit to me to LSU. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I can bet there's going to be lawsuits. [SPEAKER_07]: I can get this story in Colorado. [SPEAKER_07]: Actually, University of Colorado is now having financial trouble because of the money that they are ending up paying their head coach. [SPEAKER_14]: Hi, kids.

[SPEAKER_14]: I mean, they're important. [SPEAKER_14]: I know they're bringing money into the school, but being in school is more important. [SPEAKER_07]: There's a reason why I used to say, when when I would get when I ran the Husker sports radio network and you get these people, and they're all like, oh, you know, treat treat all these athletes and they would, they'd want to like blow off the volleyball team, which is like no, but they didn't want to blow off the track team.

[SPEAKER_07]: or the wrestling team. [SPEAKER_07]: And I, of course, I traded all of the coaches and all the players with the same level of respect because when you run an at work, and that's, that's what you do people go okay. [SPEAKER_07]: You also understand that it is college athletics. [SPEAKER_07]: It's not college athletics. [SPEAKER_07]: Right. [SPEAKER_07]: And it's not college athletics. [SPEAKER_07]: It's college athletics.

[SPEAKER_07]: They're going to school and their good at sports. [SPEAKER_07]: That's great. [SPEAKER_07]: But you need to have the respect for them as the person, as an athlete, and as a student. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes. [SPEAKER_07]: And if you can't, then go watch postports. [SPEAKER_07]: There's a lot of great postports out there. [SPEAKER_07]: Go do that. [SPEAKER_07]: That's what they do. [SPEAKER_07]: That's what they do for a living. [SPEAKER_07]: Go deal with that.

[SPEAKER_07]: But do not treat college athletes the same way that you treat pro athletes. [SPEAKER_07]: Right. [SPEAKER_07]: That's well. [SPEAKER_14]: Well, and they do, I mean, they sell the kids' numbers and they do, there's a lot of stuff that these kids are not profiting from that I think they should. [SPEAKER_14]: Yes. [SPEAKER_07]: It's certain divisions in certain levels of play, but... And that is all part of the whole NIL thing.

[SPEAKER_07]: It's all part of the thing that they're doing with money these days. [SPEAKER_05]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: It's as complicated as entertainment finances, which is always one of those weird topics. [SPEAKER_07]: We could talk about that forever, okay? [SPEAKER_07]: Hey, look who's coming into the bar here as I weren't talking about this other thing. [SPEAKER_07]: And we are seeing TV's Frank is joining us. [SPEAKER_07]: He's got to get his coat off.

[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, he is in the cities after all. [SPEAKER_07]: He is Minneapolis Saint Paul. [SPEAKER_07]: It's called up there. [SPEAKER_07]: There is a lot of snow. [SPEAKER_07]: It is after all December in the cities. [SPEAKER_07]: But TV's Frank is he is coming in and will join us momentarily. [SPEAKER_07]: We're going to have to ask him about a few things. [SPEAKER_07]: Obviously, we could talk about MST3K. [SPEAKER_07]: We could talk about Sabrina.

[SPEAKER_07]: And there, he's already, he's in the barn out to me, Frank. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_13]: He's doing nice. [SPEAKER_13]: Okay. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_13]: I love Frank. [SPEAKER_13]: All right. [SPEAKER_13]: I'm good. [SPEAKER_13]: I'm delighted to be here. [SPEAKER_13]: Great to meet you, people, and... You too. [SPEAKER_07]: It's good to stay. [SPEAKER_07]: You're good to hear it from you again.

[SPEAKER_07]: You know, when you used to join John on his show like every time, I used to call in occasionally. [SPEAKER_07]: This is when I was between the Randy Roadshow and I think the Bill Press Show I worked on. [SPEAKER_07]: What a song. [SPEAKER_07]: It's good to hear from you. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, it's great to be here and I still do John show Friday nights I call it. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, you do. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, you do which is it's fun.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's it's good and and and you are still going out and doing the Mads Which you know do that occasionally, which is fun, which is awesome. [SPEAKER_07]: We're gonna talk about all of that here [SPEAKER_07]: We have to go pay some bills though. [SPEAKER_07]: It is a break after all, but you know, Frank's here. [SPEAKER_07]: He's got his coat off. [SPEAKER_07]: He dusted off from the snow. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, so he is here at the politics bar.

[SPEAKER_07]: We're going to talk to Frank on after about the things he's doing. [SPEAKER_07]: The books he's writing. [SPEAKER_07]: We got several of those linked in the guest section in the news on tap. [SPEAKER_07]: So if you didn't know that Frank had been writing books. [SPEAKER_07]: I'll check them out. [SPEAKER_07]: We got links to them there. [SPEAKER_07]: You can go and maybe give them as a gift. [SPEAKER_07]: Is that for all Giving Tuesday and giving a Frank would be a good thing?

[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, you can buy podcasts from us here at the politics bar and give us as well. [SPEAKER_07]: Same. [SPEAKER_07]: So we will have more with Frank on it when we come back. [SPEAKER_07]: And of course, you know, we'll talk a little entertainment. [SPEAKER_07]: Maybe we'll talk about the politics, you know, Frank knows his politics as well. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, it is, after all, the politics bar on a Tuesday night, you got Jodie, you got Frank on a, you got me, I apologize for that.

[SPEAKER_07]: First, I'll be drinking, come right back, hang on. [SPEAKER_15]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_07]: It is a Tuesday night here at the politics bar and we have the one the only friend caught up here in the bar with us Yes, he have MST3K.

[SPEAKER_14]: Although, although Stephanie is supposed to be on something tonight at 12.30 a.m. Eastern. [SPEAKER_13]: Oh, I have to have to tune in to that because I assume the reason she isn't on it that often is because she's so good on it that they don't want She was great on Fox.

[SPEAKER_07]: She was great on Fox. [SPEAKER_13]: She was great on Hannity. [SPEAKER_07]: She just burns the place down That's what I love about I think she makes her laugh and pretty single time on that [SPEAKER_07]: which is awesome. [SPEAKER_07]: I was shocked earlier this year on social media when I saw that you Frank Connoff, Frank Connoff, the iconic Frank Connoff it goes with New York, at least in my mind.

[SPEAKER_07]: And you said you're moving to the cities and I'm like, like, the twin cities, like many apples Saint Paul. [SPEAKER_13]: I love it here. [SPEAKER_13]: You know I started my stand up I grew up in New York City, but I standard I started my stand-up comedy career here in Minneapolis in the 80s. [SPEAKER_13]: Where this is where I met all the mystery science data people that's where I met Liz Winston and all of these Al Franken. [SPEAKER_13]: Well, Al had left.

[SPEAKER_13]: I met Al at [SPEAKER_13]: You can go with Randy and Liz and yeah, yeah, so, you know, I So I have a history here and but I've been living in New York for like 17 years But as you know New York is incredibly affordable [SPEAKER_13]: Despite that, I decided to move here and it was just a circumstances where I had to move out of my apartment and stuff and so rather than go through the nightmare of real estate in New York, it's so appropriate.

[SPEAKER_13]: the Donald Trump comes from the world of New York real estate because it's it's all evil all of it and uh so i i said hey i have friends in Minneapolis i love it there and it's it's more way more affordable so i'm going to move back and that's what i did it's a lovely town i love that city so that's you but it's another thing it's a beautiful city [SPEAKER_14]: it is. [SPEAKER_14]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: It's, I mean, and honestly, Minnesota, nice place to live.

[SPEAKER_07]: A lot of bent enough hits there. [SPEAKER_07]: A lot of support there, as far as the government is very, you have great people here. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, the great governor. [SPEAKER_07]: And who's running for governor. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, a piggy planet again, who I'm definitely going to vote for next year for Senator, you know, [SPEAKER_07]: So by the way, by the way, you also have a fantastic progressive station that we are on there.

[SPEAKER_13]: A. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R. R [SPEAKER_13]: and Democratic people like Uber Humphrey who made us meet on behalf of civil rights at the 1948 Democratic Convention. [SPEAKER_13]: Very brave thing to do at the time.

[SPEAKER_13]: And you know, so we have that kind of history here. [SPEAKER_07]: Love it. [SPEAKER_07]: I love Minneapolis. [SPEAKER_07]: It is. [SPEAKER_07]: There are things that will help. [SPEAKER_07]: Balls was on, wasn't it? [SPEAKER_07]: Meet the press the other day. [SPEAKER_07]: And so, was talking about the MRI that Donald Trump got. [SPEAKER_07]: And then he said, what do you say, Jody, that he didn't even know where he got the MRI on the ground?

[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, Donald didn't know where it was on his body. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, it's hard to tell, you know, though. [SPEAKER_13]: When you're in that tube. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, they gave him a liquid MRI. [SPEAKER_13]: He's not sure what he's going to be about it. [SPEAKER_13]: And you know what I love? [SPEAKER_13]: The Tim Waltz and Democrats need to do this more often as he goes, show us the results of the MRI. [SPEAKER_13]: Let's see them and, you know, Exactly.

[SPEAKER_13]: Put that up fourth. [SPEAKER_13]: And that's what Democrats need to be doing every day is that kind of thing. [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: Here, let me play this on the DVR because this is hilarious. [SPEAKER_07]: This is exactly the cut that you're talking about right here. [SPEAKER_11]: Well, here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families. [SPEAKER_11]: We ate, we played yachts, see, we cheered for all of whatever.

[SPEAKER_11]: This guy is apparently in a room, ranting about everything else. [SPEAKER_11]: This is not normal behavior. [SPEAKER_11]: It is not healthy and presidents throughout time have released a couple of things.

[SPEAKER_11]: They've released their tax returns, not Donald Trump, and they've released their medical records, not Donald Trump, and look, the MRI is one thing, but I think what's most [SPEAKER_11]: As your viewers out there are listening, has anyone in the history of the world ever have an MRI assigned to them and have no idea what it was for? [SPEAKER_11]: He says. [SPEAKER_11]: So look, it's clear the presence fading physically.

[SPEAKER_11]: I think the mental capacity, again, granting, you know, crazily at midnight on Thanksgiving about everything else. [SPEAKER_11]: There's reasons for us to be concerned. [SPEAKER_11]: This is. [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_11]: It's right. [SPEAKER_11]: It's right. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: You know, and and Donald Trump just keeps throwing stuff at him.

[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, did you see Frank the other day that Donald Trump tried to hit Tim Walts, but he did it in the way that a bully like Trump does. [SPEAKER_07]: So we tried to insult his son by using the order word, but doesn't you don't know retired. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes. [SPEAKER_07]: And by doing that, he shoots himself in the foot because there's an Indiana Republican who has a daughter who has learning disabilities.

[SPEAKER_13]: and they're in the end of a public it was one of those that they needed to change the map in the end and that guy's like ah you you you you insulted my daughter right i don't read and map yeah yeah that's kind of the uh... republican like you can finally like with with uh... with gick chaney and gay rights you can finally get them on board with stuff when it affects them personally you know right exact well that's what happened with maged retos and uh... a c a

[SPEAKER_07]: Judy is right exactly and what's in effect at her and her kids can't get insurance suddenly it's now it's a big deal to her yeah yeah but we were we were talking earlier tonight Frank about how it's one of those things and I'm sure in a lot of things because you you are an unapologetic liberal in your [SPEAKER_13]: comedy in a apologize for everything else in my life. [SPEAKER_07]: Not your cat, not my cat, well they they want me to apologize for their cats.

[SPEAKER_07]: But it's the whole thing of being an unapologetic liberal to me is I think it's what more Democrats should be doing. [SPEAKER_13]: Right. [SPEAKER_13]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_13]: And I think being a Democrat now and you know, I'm I've always considered myself a loyal Democrat with all the problems that the parties have had through the years, but I come from a [SPEAKER_13]: kind of a democratic family, my dad ran for Congress.

[SPEAKER_13]: And some Democrat, my grandmother served in the Connecticut State Legislature. [SPEAKER_14]: Wow. [SPEAKER_13]: Wow. [SPEAKER_13]: And I have a grandfather who I never met because he died of cirrhosis of a liver in 1937. [SPEAKER_13]: But anyway, he worked with, he was an FDR and Al Smith. [SPEAKER_03]: Wow. [SPEAKER_13]: That's how far back we're going here. [SPEAKER_13]: Al Smith appointee.

[SPEAKER_13]: So I'm a loyal Democrat, but I feel like right now at this time, [SPEAKER_13]: I don't like to take focus away from the Republicans who are the real villains, but as a loyal Democrat, I have to be very critical of the leadership of the Democratic Party Tuesdays of Chuck Schumer, and I came Jeffries, the really kind of reckless leadership

[SPEAKER_13]: They try to silence him when he improvise president, you know, so all of these consultants, you know, they have to like find other work, you know, not not starting not starting their own podcast, by the way. [SPEAKER_13]: But they need to find something else to do because they're kind of useless and you know, and I was in, you know, I was still living in New York for most of Mondamis, the mayorial campaign. [SPEAKER_07]: What did you think of him?

[SPEAKER_13]: What was going to happen? [SPEAKER_13]: The excitement that people who previously had no interest in politics, I did this shoot in Central Park, and these young women on the shoot, they were so excited because when we were done, they were going to go canvas for a month, dummy, they were like really fired up about him.

[SPEAKER_13]: And the idea that Chuck Schumer would not support him and not even admit, [SPEAKER_13]: because he didn't vote for, he voted for Donald Trump's candidate, Andrew Cuomo, so that to me is just on a level of unforgivable. [SPEAKER_13]: It's kind of like, you know, it's kind of like the Beatles are on the scene and Schumer is Mitch Miller. [SPEAKER_13]: You know, he has no clue about anything [SPEAKER_13]: it's going through the society as no idea about it, you know?

[SPEAKER_07]: Look, the whole thing that, I mean, you plastic TV and classic music, obviously, but you also understand and enjoy, like, stranger things we were talking about that earlier. [SPEAKER_07]: You are always, you always are a great critic of new movies, and when I think about [SPEAKER_07]: I think there's a way for Democrats to be more constructively critical of our leadership. [SPEAKER_07]: I think we need to be constructively critical of our leadership.

[SPEAKER_13]: Yes. [SPEAKER_13]: Yes. [SPEAKER_07]: But there are so many who, especially if they are on the further left, they're not constructively critical. [SPEAKER_07]: They go out there and they give fuel to [SPEAKER_07]: Maga to Republicans, to the business groups who don't want Democrats to do things like, you know, make the rich pay more taxes. [SPEAKER_07]: And it's like, you got to think of it as part of a whole. [SPEAKER_07]: You can't just go out and say, well, you suck.

[SPEAKER_07]: Well, great. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Do you, you know, criticize when it's deserved, but praise when it's like, for example, Cory Booker, [SPEAKER_07]: He's, you know, acquaintance of mine. [SPEAKER_07]: He's good. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm glad that he got married here. [SPEAKER_07]: That's great. [SPEAKER_07]: Whatever. [SPEAKER_13]: I'm also tough. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, exactly.

[SPEAKER_07]: There are times when when he's frustrated with Jesus and me and there are other times like when he stood up and did his whole, uh, you know, filibuster. [SPEAKER_13]: We're actually didn't do that at the wedding. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm betting Alexis is glad he didn't do that at the wedding either. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm glad that the press man did not give a speech that went on eight minutes.

[SPEAKER_07]: But I mean, you know, that's that's the thing is is be constructable like like for example, Schumer today. [SPEAKER_07]: We've got a story in the news on tap about how multiple of his offices have been targeted by these market idiots with bomb threats. [SPEAKER_07]: And sure instead of doing like a number of politicians the number of democratic politicians have done where he kind of hides it and oh We don't want to do that.

[SPEAKER_07]: He actually came out and he said it and he said that the reason that he thinks that we need to talk about it is because They have a lot of violent tendencies those mock-a-people like that and we need to be watching for it And we need to be saying that this is not acceptable Okay, that's that's I will I will praise him for doing that.

[SPEAKER_07]: I will say on that Chuck Schumerin [SPEAKER_07]: But there are a lot of the things that I disagree with them on including not backing my family because I mean, man, he's going to be a great mayor for New York City and it's just, you know, you know, you can, you don't have to be all in on every single politician.

[SPEAKER_07]: And I think I think a lot of Democrats out there these days are like, no, you stand with them or not, I mean, some of the people who I find is I've been very kind of, [SPEAKER_13]: I've said some hurtful things in the past about third party, third party people. [SPEAKER_13]: And the thing that I love about like Mamdami and AOC is there is their running as Democrats. [SPEAKER_13]: And they're really trying to be effective.

[SPEAKER_13]: And sometimes that involves compromise, and they're just trying to weave their way through the system that we have. [SPEAKER_13]: And they're both being voices for reason and hope. [SPEAKER_13]: And what's going on now. [SPEAKER_13]: But I find like a lot of very [SPEAKER_13]: far left. [SPEAKER_13]: And as you know, some people go so far left. [SPEAKER_13]: They end up on the right. [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: Matt Tauy, I believe is one of them.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_13]: Well, and I, you know, and I, you know, I was they, [SPEAKER_13]: I was on the Jimmy Dorsho, like, you know, 15 years ago, and Jimmy's in a couple of that, where he's gone so far left, that he's turned up right.

[SPEAKER_13]: But, you know, but it seems to me, like a lot of these people who support the Jill Stines, like they don't even want them to win, it seems like, because once you win, you're a sellout, you know, but as long as you don't win, [SPEAKER_13]: being the savior. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, being the savior. [SPEAKER_13]: If something we talk about on their home foods, check out live. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, no, your, your, your, your, Frank, on a, is correct.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yes [SPEAKER_07]: You know, it's, it's always fun actually when you're looking for mocktails. [SPEAKER_07]: There are a lot more than these, these days than they're ever used to be.

[SPEAKER_14]: Well, there's a lot of non-alcoholic things that taste like alcohol for people that are trying to get off the, on the wagon, you know, and, and trying to do it, and it's not exact, but it's close enough. [SPEAKER_14]: I mean, there's a non-alcoholic wine that I really like. [SPEAKER_14]: It's, it's good, you know, tastes like a decent Pino Grigio, so. [SPEAKER_13]: My favorite cocktail is called Diet Coke. [SPEAKER_13]: Mine is Coke Zero. [SPEAKER_13]: Oh, that's true, that's true.

[SPEAKER_13]: I'm the Charles Dukowski of Diet soda. [SPEAKER_07]: There you go. [SPEAKER_07]: For those of you who don't know his references, you absolutely need to know Frank's references. [SPEAKER_13]: So there's a baseball Google folks. [SPEAKER_07]: exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: Frank is correct. [SPEAKER_07]: One of the things that people honestly find on Google is they'll find old clips of MST3K.

[SPEAKER_07]: Obviously they'll then sometimes I've heard of people going down a Frank conifer at what rabbit hole, you know, rabbit hole, whatever you call it, where you go down and you're like, you know, that K hole, sometimes people vote whatever and you go and you're like, okay, so I started watching clips of Frank here and then [SPEAKER_07]: I think there was one was like a Saturday morning show or something like that. [SPEAKER_07]: Somebody showed me a weird clip.

[SPEAKER_07]: Somebody sent me one once and I was like, okay. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm like, you've done a lot of stuff over the years. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_13]: I've done a few things. [SPEAKER_13]: I, you know, I, I was very lucky to get started on Mystery Science Theater as my first ever job in television. [SPEAKER_14]: Wow. [SPEAKER_13]: Nice to meet you.

[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_13]: And then I kind of was really curious about [SPEAKER_13]: What would be like to write on a, you know, like every one of my generation, I grew up watching a Rob Petrie, you know, the defend like show the poverty brighter. [SPEAKER_13]: And so, so I, I moved out to LA and I worked on Sabrina the teenage wish I worked on the jury show.

[SPEAKER_13]: I worked on a really great animated show called Invaders in that yes people are very into and I worked on the Tom Green Show and and so I just really got to work on a lot of different different kinds of things which was great and and one of my favorite shows I did. [SPEAKER_13]: was people to know about it was a show that Liz Winston did for the oxygen channel called O2B, which was a pet which was like a daily show but a parody of daytime opera type shows.

[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, how fun! [SPEAKER_13]: And that was really fun. [SPEAKER_13]: Of course, it was only six episodes, but that was one of my favorite things. [SPEAKER_07]: Let's go. [SPEAKER_07]: See if I can find that. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Speaking of dumping in a YouTube and checking to look at that. [SPEAKER_14]: So when you're off wait, hold on. [SPEAKER_14]: Before we go, when you were watching the Dick event I showed, did you want to be more of your Rosemary?

[SPEAKER_13]: And I think, I think to be honest, I really wanted to be Rob Petrie. [SPEAKER_13]: I mean, come on, you know, he's married to Mary Tyler Moore, and he lived in her show, which when I was a kid, we lived in her show too, and around the same time. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, but I mean, I, when I watch it now, I love both Rosemary and Mori, Mori Amsterdam's just making a joke about literally everything is just, I just love it, you know.

[SPEAKER_07]: I love the fact that Dick Van Dyke is still around. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm hoping he reaches 100 on the 13th of this month, which is great. [SPEAKER_07]: I think he will. [SPEAKER_13]: Oh, I think he will. [SPEAKER_13]: That's very exciting. [SPEAKER_07]: He did like a two hour I heard like a benefit or something for his, his foundation here, just after Thanksgiving. [SPEAKER_07]: Like this last month.

[SPEAKER_13]: And another thing I've heard about Dick Van Dyke is, he's a lefty. [SPEAKER_13]: Yes, I didn't know that sports very liberal. [SPEAKER_13]: He was a Bernie guy in 2016. [SPEAKER_13]: No, I knew lefty politics. [SPEAKER_07]: That's not true. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_13]: Well, he's so versatile. [SPEAKER_13]: I bet he's right. [SPEAKER_14]: He probably probably.

[SPEAKER_07]: But yeah, no, he is and and he's not really ashamed to to put his politics out there. [SPEAKER_07]: Not at all. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: I think that that has become a big problem. [SPEAKER_07]: I think with [SPEAKER_07]: living during the Trump era or era era is better. [SPEAKER_07]: Uh-huh.

[SPEAKER_07]: I tend to think so too because there are so many people who become afraid and I'm like you can't You can't be worried about especially if you're in entertainment and you know for those people who are conservative great If you're if you're omega that there are people who will be interested and there are people who will not care So long as you don't put it or it's not supposed to be right like in all writing the you've done a

[SPEAKER_07]: uh... you've done i mean you've done a lot of different types of entertainment and yet you don't put the wrong thing in the wrong place you don't try to write a serious piece and drop in a stupid joke uh... or vice president of the leave me the the stupid jokes are gonna get dropped in [SPEAKER_13]: I do that's that's the neighborhood. [SPEAKER_07]: Okay, most of your jokes are not stupid. [SPEAKER_07]: Most of your jokes are good.

[SPEAKER_07]: So my jokes are bad, play your jokes are good. [SPEAKER_07]: You're a pro at that, and I'm just a amateur when it comes to jokes. [SPEAKER_07]: But honestly, and I think that's something that we see some of this with entertainment. [SPEAKER_07]: We see it with a lot of the right wing talk hosts, especially the idiots on Fox. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, what did I see? [SPEAKER_07]: Gutfeld was on the field. [SPEAKER_14]: Gutfeld, you got to be, you know, the exclamation point.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, kind of like, yeah, and he was on and Jessica Tarloff was doing this whole thing going on doing kind of an in-depth explanation and like every two minutes. [SPEAKER_07]: He was trying to inject all with that kind of a voice and you're going, dude, she's trying to be for a moment serious. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, well, I don't think, um, [SPEAKER_13]: I don't think you can prove in a court of law that that field has ever said anything funny.

[SPEAKER_13]: I'm not a guy who comes from command or standing is that he came from he was an editor at Maxim Magazine, which immediately takes him really a feeling. [SPEAKER_13]: And he happened to be sitting on a flight with Roger Ailes and they got into a conversation and Roger Ailes liked him and he just a series of very lucky things that happened to this guy. [SPEAKER_13]: But he has no gravitas whatsoever as a comedian or someone who is funny.

[SPEAKER_13]: And even on his show, he doesn't even really seem to do that well. [SPEAKER_13]: his eco fans don't even laugh at him you know it's it's it's pretty sad you know he should he should ask bill more where billmark gets his applause machine so he can get like applause breaks for every joke like billmark does but yeah we see CBS studio 33 has a really good applause thank you going on [SPEAKER_07]: I do know that that you have been doing a mad stuff.

[SPEAKER_07]: Are you guys going to be doing a U. [SPEAKER_07]: A Trace Ballou or are you guys going to be doing some more mad shows coming up in the new year?

[SPEAKER_13]: In the new year, we're going to be [SPEAKER_13]: We're gearing up for a whole new thing now, but now the trace will you and I who's my partner, Dr. Clayton Forester, he, we're both in the same city now, so that's going to come and he's building a studio now out of his, his cabin in the woods, oh nice, he, he, Ted Kuzinski is his technical advice. [SPEAKER_07]: So you're saying he lives in the western suburbs of the city sky now. [SPEAKER_13]: Oh, he's not even in a suburb.

[SPEAKER_13]: He's he's border border of Wisconsin Wow, I won't I won't I won't I won't I won't I won't doxin but he's way out there and But in a beautiful place and we're he's building a studio and he's literally in his garage there and We're going to clean

[SPEAKER_07]: I just, it's, to me it's, the world of entertainment is so, [SPEAKER_07]: different now than you know the world of news entertainment used to have to be in New York City or Washington DC or LA now you can be almost anything you can do show business from anywhere now which is why I was able to uh [SPEAKER_13]: to move from New York to Minneapolis.

[SPEAKER_13]: It's also, you know, why I was able to move from LA to New York, although I moved from LA because the show business asked me to leave. [SPEAKER_07]: So I had to go, but, okay, who did you have any favorites to work with when you were working on Sabrina, which was that was how it was at an LA, if I remember, right? [SPEAKER_13]: Oh, yeah, that was an earlier.

[SPEAKER_13]: We had some well first of all in the on the staff, Nick Bakaai, who was the voice of sailing the cat, one of the funniest people and greatest people ever, and Holly Hester, friend of mine. [SPEAKER_13]: wrote on the show and but but I got to meet guest stars who were delightful like Shirley Jones and Steve Allen and my favorite was the cast of laugh in as many as them as we could get [SPEAKER_13]: came and came and did a show.

[SPEAKER_13]: So I got to hang out with Joanne Worley and moved Busy and Alan Suez. [SPEAKER_13]: And you know, there were all kinds of people like that Johnny Mathis did a cameo on the show. [SPEAKER_13]: You know, that was amazing. [SPEAKER_07]: Come on, Sarah, why? [SPEAKER_07]: Was she fun to work with? [SPEAKER_13]: He was great. [SPEAKER_13]: And you know, she's hilarious. [SPEAKER_13]: And I run into her every now and then. [SPEAKER_13]: And she was wonderful to work with.

[SPEAKER_07]: Last week, something like this, when we knew you were coming in.

[SPEAKER_07]: It wasn't, you're writing.

[SPEAKER_07]: It wasn't you playing a character. [SPEAKER_07]: It was, uh, [SPEAKER_07]: you it was prank. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah yeah that was that was wonderful to just be able to sit there and you know I love being a sidekick you know John is the host he has to do all the work he has to read all the copy and I'm just standing there saying whatever stupid comes into my head you know that that was for me that was a great job. [SPEAKER_07]: It's always fun. [SPEAKER_07]: It always fun.

[SPEAKER_07]: The fact that Jody and I are both producers and hosts. [SPEAKER_07]: We have two producers, two hosts, no waiting. [SPEAKER_07]: It tends to make it a little bit different, you know, this way. [SPEAKER_07]: We are each other sidekick, I guess. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, I guess.
