[SPEAKER_11]: So it was like a [SPEAKER_11]: really kind of nice thing, right?

[SPEAKER_11]: So, Mr. Leno got finished, they emptied out the nightclub, they had comedy club, and then they let you back in, and so how was there, and Brian Keram was there, and we met a friend of Hal's, and so we sat with this guy, and it was, he was very, very, very funny. [SPEAKER_11]: So anytime you get a chance to see him just go, I recommend that. [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, he's amazing, and I got to meet Brian Keram in person after the show, which was very nice.

[SPEAKER_11]: He did his Rodney Dangerfield for Lonnie. [SPEAKER_11]: you mentioned you mentioned that on the best of show yesterday so so honestly though did Lonnie do his the politics bar not he did not but Brian was like oh you're the guy um and so that was so you know we got home just after midnight and I said all the way until six a.m. [SPEAKER_11]: and I'm like where did my day go

[SPEAKER_09]: you know and I know because normally you're up early normally you go to bed after you know after you get down to the bar here you go home and you go to bed which is fine but honestly yeah no I can I it definitely staying up to to see how and you know see brine caravan person totally worth it who else did you see over the weekend you got you know you protest or like did not because we had family over yesterday and it was really indigrees yesterday [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah, it is.

[SPEAKER_09]: If you are in the western areas of the bar, it is very, very hot. [SPEAKER_09]: It's a cool and watch out for those fires out there, especially folks out in the northwestern. [SPEAKER_11]: Which is when I came home from Stephanie's, there was thunder. [SPEAKER_11]: Now, this is the summer. [SPEAKER_11]: This is not normal, like, what do you mean? [SPEAKER_11]: Rainy season for California. [SPEAKER_11]: Like that.

[SPEAKER_11]: It best fits in the winter, at least when I was growing up. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_11]: You want Vinny? [SPEAKER_11]: Um, and so I came home today. [SPEAKER_11]: I'm like, it's looking cloudy. [SPEAKER_11]: And then as soon as I got out of the car, [SPEAKER_11]: Wow. [SPEAKER_11]: It was up high. [SPEAKER_11]: I didn't see any lightning strikes. [SPEAKER_11]: So it was just up in the clouds. [SPEAKER_11]: So we're like Phoenix weather now.

[SPEAKER_09]: Well, DC, DC is there was a stretch here earlier this summer. [SPEAKER_09]: Thankfully, by the way, it is starting to head towards fall. [SPEAKER_09]: Some people say it's unofficially fall since Labor Day's done. [SPEAKER_09]: But earlier this year here in the DC area of the bar, it was acting a lot like Florida. [SPEAKER_09]: where for years, even when we're working in Randy show, right about three o'clock, it started raining.

[SPEAKER_09]: But it was a the Florida rain for those of you who have never lived in Florida and ever been there. [SPEAKER_09]: It's kind of like a mostly blue sky and then you get one cloud that gets its pants in a bunch and it stops over and it rains real quick and then it runs off. [SPEAKER_11]: That's a Hawaii. [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, we can laugh a few minutes. [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[SPEAKER_11]: Because we'd like, okay, so every beach in Hawaii, at least when I live there, I'm not sure if it's is public, even if it's in front of a hotel or in front of somebody's home. [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's like the case. [SPEAKER_00]: Right. [SPEAKER_11]: So we would. [SPEAKER_11]: grab towels from say a hotel, and we would get a beach chair as if we were staying at the hotel, right? [SPEAKER_11]: It was just Sunday. [SPEAKER_11]: It was, you know, it was fifteen.

[SPEAKER_11]: And I remember several times being on a weekend, being on the beach on a thing, and it would start raining, and all the tourists would go running in the hotel, and the locals would be like, yeah, what, and then they knew we were local. [SPEAKER_09]: Right, because the locals would be like, wait fifteen minutes, it's done. [SPEAKER_11]: not even that long. [SPEAKER_11]: And literally, they started going, no kids, you live here. [SPEAKER_11]: You're not running in like tourists.

[SPEAKER_09]: You gotta always look the part whether you're on the beach or behind the concert venue that's just how that goes. [SPEAKER_11]: And we did, Lonnie and I had dinner with Richard Chu of WCPT. [SPEAKER_09]: pitch and that's awesome. [SPEAKER_09]: I knew it was coming out to visit. [SPEAKER_09]: That's fantastic. [SPEAKER_09]: So by the way, I heard Richard a little bit this morning. [SPEAKER_09]: I was trying to get things going, you know, doing a few things.

[SPEAKER_09]: Obviously, we are trying. [SPEAKER_09]: We're hopefully going to open the store this week. [SPEAKER_09]: You guys can buy some shirts. [SPEAKER_09]: We are obviously always trying to, you know, get a little bit more money. [SPEAKER_09]: Get some advertising because, you know, we would like to eat and get paid. [SPEAKER_11]: If anyone ever ties on her show.

[SPEAKER_09]: If you do you know you can always just to you know find a find our link it's in the podcast just in your favorite podcast player you'll see the link and you can advertise there. [SPEAKER_09]: All right lots from the news on tap. [SPEAKER_09]: A lot of stuff this weekend. [SPEAKER_09]: What was what was your favorite thing because I mean there there was a ton of stuff.

[SPEAKER_11]: Do you want me to just hit the highlights of your life in the home everybody thinking that he was gone. [SPEAKER_09]: We will talk with Brooklyn dead fine about that because he wrote a whole piece on Define dispatches his sub-stack page But yes, there was a whole big thing for those of you who were not online this weekend started on Twitter, blood to the other social media sites about Oh rumors that Trump was gone. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm like do you I thought it was dumb.

[SPEAKER_09]: I thought it was dumb because quite frankly if Donald Trump was dead You would know because like most of the country would be cheering so just the champagne would be I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_11]: That's wrong [SPEAKER_09]: No, it's not wrong. [SPEAKER_09]: It's just reality. [SPEAKER_11]: It's not that I think that way, buddy. [SPEAKER_11]: Another human being. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, there have been some evil people.

[SPEAKER_09]: You know, I know a few people who when Charles Manson died, you know, they did a big drink to him dying. [SPEAKER_09]: You know, I would certainly say I'm sure back in the day when Hitler died, you know, and that news came out. [SPEAKER_11]: I mean, people were in the streets for that. [SPEAKER_11]: And I just thought it was gross. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, but there are certain people who have decided that they no longer want to be humans, and they want to go beyond that.

[SPEAKER_09]: Stephen Miller, for example, if you got hit by a car, I, you know, I feel bad for his kid and maybe his wife, but I would be thrilled for the rest of the country because he's just long back. [SPEAKER_11]: That's exactly that's how I felt about Bin Laden. [SPEAKER_11]: I felt about his hundred and seven thousand children. [SPEAKER_09]: And that doesn't make, and that doesn't make us bad. [SPEAKER_09]: Like I said, BDD has a whole thing.

[SPEAKER_09]: We'll talk about that with him a little bit later this evening. [SPEAKER_09]: But for those of you who are just kind of decompressing, getting back into things, maybe got back at a little bit later, here's a quick run down of some of the news. [SPEAKER_09]: So there were anti Trump protests this weekend, as well as Labor Day protests, protests against billionaires. [SPEAKER_09]: Trump did a few things. [SPEAKER_09]: We'll talk about that.

[SPEAKER_09]: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an order to fight Trump's potential invasion of the city and J. B. Pritzker went on the media and talked about it. [SPEAKER_09]: We'll talk about that. [SPEAKER_09]: Let's see what else. [SPEAKER_09]: Trump lost a big case in immigration. [SPEAKER_09]: They were trying to ship unaccompanied migrant children to Guatemala and do it in the dead of night.

[SPEAKER_11]: Did we know that these children were from Guatemala or they're just undocumented children? [SPEAKER_09]: There are a lot of details. [SPEAKER_09]: We'll talk about that too. [SPEAKER_09]: Nine former CDC directors including from Trump's first term did a great big thing in the New York Times and we have a gift link you can check that out in the news on tap today.

[SPEAKER_09]: uh... because archa juniors still trying to kill people but guess what some states are doing like ne Mexico were there saying screw what the trumper james doing so we'll talk about that to congress is back starting to come back today and they're gonna have to deal with the republican caused government shut down or the potentially [SPEAKER_09]: The potential Republican cause government shutdown and the absteen drama. [SPEAKER_09]: That stuff is ramping up.

[SPEAKER_09]: We'll talk about that too. [SPEAKER_09]: And yes, more on the redistricting wars. [SPEAKER_09]: Election type news as well. [SPEAKER_09]: There's some foreign news with Putin and she and Modi. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay, so hopefully that gives you guys a very quick run through of the news. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, the idea is we do the news on taps you guys can click through read the headlines, take like, you know, a minute, two minutes, buzz through the headlines.

[SPEAKER_09]: You can subscribe for free to the news on tap at the politics bar.com. [SPEAKER_09]: All right. [SPEAKER_09]: So of all of these fun stories, where do you want to go first? [SPEAKER_09]: Do you want to recap the weekend, the protests? [SPEAKER_11]: Sure. [SPEAKER_09]: Those were good.

[SPEAKER_09]: They were good. [SPEAKER_09]: They were anti-Trump protests and workers against billionaires protests in a lot of places. [SPEAKER_09]: Trump, of course, answered by marking Labor Day by attacking union workers and stripping collective bargaining for workers at all kinds of places, including national weather service and NASA. [SPEAKER_11]: Because that says screams Labor Day.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, nothing screams that you support workers more than taking away a worker's right for collective bargaining. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I Donald Trump and any for for anybody that you guys know that are here in the bar if you if even if if you're a former maga view that look he's never been for workers. [SPEAKER_11]: I don't know why anybody I don't know why any union worker ever voted for this person.

[SPEAKER_09]: I don't even, I don't know why anybody ever thought that he would be good for it. [SPEAKER_09]: The tariffs by the way, that was another big thing that happened in the news. [SPEAKER_09]: So thrilled about this. [SPEAKER_09]: Donald Trump got his ass handed to him on the tariffs, which was very funny. [SPEAKER_09]: Federal Peel Score ruled late Friday that Donald Trump's tariffs overstepped the presidential powers and they're illegal.

[SPEAKER_09]: Now, they've given this jackass until I think October to kind of whine this stuff down most of the tariffs that he has done completely illegal. [SPEAKER_09]: which is great, except that they're still in effect right now. [SPEAKER_09]: They haven't wound down. [SPEAKER_09]: One of those of course was the de minimus terror. [SPEAKER_09]: Do you remember what the de minimus is? [SPEAKER_09]: The de minimus basically says anything under eight hundred dollars.

[SPEAKER_09]: They wave that. [SPEAKER_09]: But that's why right. [SPEAKER_09]: That's why postal services around the world stop sending stuff to the United States. [SPEAKER_09]: last week that will likely get waived as well with this ruling. [SPEAKER_09]: So big thing is with all of the problems that Trump has been jacking around with the tariffs and all of that and and quite frankly a lot of the Republican right wing economic policies. [SPEAKER_09]: There's a new Wall Street Journal NORC poll.

[SPEAKER_09]: That finds most Americans agree hard work no longer guarantees economic gain. [SPEAKER_09]: Basically, they're about seventy percent of the American people now think that the American dream is out of reach. [SPEAKER_11]: It is. [SPEAKER_09]: Because of the corporates. [SPEAKER_11]: It is. [SPEAKER_09]: I agree. [SPEAKER_09]: I agree for most, but here's the thing.

[SPEAKER_09]: While Donald Trump and the current Republicans, especially with the big ugly Bill, have made it so much worse, this started going all the way back to Reagan in nineteen eighty and the data reflects that. [SPEAKER_09]: We can talk about that and more. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, it's a Tuesday night. [SPEAKER_09]: It feels like a Monday for some of you. [SPEAKER_09]: I know feels like a Monday here too. [SPEAKER_09]: Take a breath. [SPEAKER_09]: Get yourself a drink.

[SPEAKER_09]: Jody and I will, in fact, get you a drink. [SPEAKER_09]: We have a good drink of the day today. [SPEAKER_11]: It's a refreshing. [SPEAKER_09]: It is very refreshing and actually it's a little nuts. [SPEAKER_11]: It is a little nutty. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, exactly. [SPEAKER_11]: A little hairy and a little nutty. [SPEAKER_09]: Which Donald Trump is a little less hairy. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, we'll talk about all of that kind of stuff.

[SPEAKER_09]: Look, it's a Tuesday night at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_09]: Get your drink refreshed and come all back. [SPEAKER_09]: All right. [SPEAKER_09]: All right. [SPEAKER_03]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_09]: It is a Tuesday night. [SPEAKER_09]: Here at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_09]: I know. [SPEAKER_09]: It feels like a Monday. [SPEAKER_09]: It is not. [SPEAKER_09]: It's a short week.

[SPEAKER_09]: So, you know, even if you had a rough day getting back into things, take a breather and remember, you get done with today. [SPEAKER_09]: There's only three more left.

[SPEAKER_09]: the politics bar. [SPEAKER_09]: Thank you, by the way, to everybody who interacts with us on social media, whether you were at Blue Sky, or Threads, or Instagram, Facebook, Substack, or Twitter. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, we're all there. [SPEAKER_09]: We're at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_09]: By the way, Joe, we had, we had a few interactions over the weekend. [SPEAKER_09]: Tom, via Facebook, had a very long post because he was very animated.

[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sure that maybe he had a little extra time in his hands at being liberty weekend and all. [SPEAKER_09]: We love you Tom. [SPEAKER_09]: He said, you know, when Democrats take back power and bring sanity to our federal government, there are a few laws that we need to change. [SPEAKER_09]: And we need to be assertive about this. [SPEAKER_09]: And I, you, you and I have to happen. [SPEAKER_09]: I've been very big about people needing to be assertive.

[SPEAKER_09]: I hate a friend kind of, um, um, disconnect from me on one of the multiple social media, but not another, which I didn't quite understand because I was stressing that here last week, but the things that Tom was stressing, he said, [SPEAKER_09]: Okay, I'm going to read you some now because I don't think we agree with everything that he put up on it. [SPEAKER_09]: I don't know if you saw the post that he probably did.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, okay, but this is at least four of the big highlights. [SPEAKER_09]: He said first of all, we need to make sure that no conflicted convicted felons are allowed to be present anymore. [SPEAKER_11]: Okay, then you have to define felon and what kind of felon because you could be a felony.

[SPEAKER_09]: pot dealer from nineteen seventy two I get it I get it but I'm I'm fine with restricting it and basically saying look if if you've done things like you know like fraud like a fraud is important I'm with fraud murder all right exactly right you know rape sexual assault sexual assault I mean you're certain things tax fraud tax evasion yep yep so I'm I'm with what I think we're with you on that Tom next one overturned citizens united absolutely

[SPEAKER_09]: hundred percent right uh he also says we should uh Democrats and independence and non-fremper publicans if you want to join in the sanity need to expand the house in the Senate for better representation period absolutely need to admit I know we need to expand the house I don't think you can really expand the Senate unless you also offer statehood to places like DC and which I think we should do I think

[SPEAKER_09]: get rid of all the territories and say, look, if you're part of the US, you got to be a state and that includes DCs, so that way Trump can't play or anybody can't play the stupid games they do with that. [SPEAKER_09]: The fourth one by the way, he says we need to get rid of the Electoral College. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, totally. [SPEAKER_09]: So Tom on some of these things, we think Tom is right.

[SPEAKER_09]: Just saying all of those by the way that we highlighted just there are about accountability. [SPEAKER_09]: And that's what we've been saying is that the two big watchwords are affordability and accountability and Democrats who are pushing those things. [SPEAKER_09]: It's it's it's not exactly in line, you know, we're jumping around a little bit in the news on tap today.

[SPEAKER_09]: But we do have some news and the election land section of the news on [SPEAKER_09]: And Abigail Spanberger here in Virginia. [SPEAKER_09]: Uh, a poll that was sponsored by a right leaning group. [SPEAKER_09]: So you know the poll is usually skewed a little bit to the right. [SPEAKER_11]: Anybody like that? [SPEAKER_09]: You can you can read it. [SPEAKER_09]: It's in there. [SPEAKER_09]: And I don't know if you got that.

[SPEAKER_09]: Um, it says she's up twelve points says other Democrats are up five points right. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: I didn't mean to make you do a spit take. [SPEAKER_09]: She's up somewhere between eight and twelve points and there's only two months until the election. [SPEAKER_09]: There is however a special election for the district that I am in here in northern Virginia next week.

[SPEAKER_09]: exactly September ninth to fill late representative Connelly seat because he was he was my congressman and so look I mean that there's some good oh there's another good piece of good news by the way represent Jerry nadler who you know I've had some arguments with him too but in general he's he's done some good things he's he's pushed some policies that that were a little bit more progressive that he didn't necessarily believe but he thought that might be good in the past

[SPEAKER_09]: He's also finally done the smart thing that more Democrats seem to be doing during Adler is saying that he is going to retire. [SPEAKER_09]: Some of the media is saying, well, he saw what happened to Biden. [SPEAKER_09]: If you read his statement, it's that he saw what basically the media did to Biden. [SPEAKER_09]: And he also recognizes that it's not just the Democratic Party, but the United States as a whole, the government here in the United States.

[SPEAKER_09]: Needs to get fresh ideas, young blood. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, some people have some experience, but not too much experience if you know what I'm saying. [SPEAKER_11]: Well, I mean, and he is the guy that was going to primary him was very nice about Mr. Nadler and getting out of the race. [SPEAKER_11]: And it's just like, you know what? [SPEAKER_11]: Good for the younger guy. [SPEAKER_11]: I think he's my age. [SPEAKER_11]: So we ain't that young.

[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, you know, fifties is fifties is fifties is better than I think Jerry Nadler's on the stage. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, he's pretty. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: So which is fine. [SPEAKER_09]: And if he's there for, you know, a decade, maybe twelve years, and then he hops out and give somebody else a chance. [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, that's we need to have a better better thing. [SPEAKER_09]: I've got Mamdeni is still doing fantastically well in polling in New York.

[SPEAKER_09]: Let's see who else. [SPEAKER_09]: David Jolly is making another push in the media stuff. [SPEAKER_09]: Maybe we'll see about we can get him. [SPEAKER_09]: We're getting more great guests in by the way, Jared Rizzy, who filled in for you. [SPEAKER_09]: Jared will be in this week as well. [SPEAKER_09]: We are also getting lead politics girl is going to be in two weeks.

[SPEAKER_09]: two weeks and obviously like you said house coming in there you go Brian Keram we got a lot of good people coming into the bar so you know it is it's it's been a busy weekend but it's been a good weekend and and we're glad if you guys had a good weekend this way and I didn't throw anything out of a second story window that shouldn't open [SPEAKER_09]: So yeah, there is a video out there. [SPEAKER_09]: White House is not as last check.

[SPEAKER_09]: You haven't seen anything of what they. [SPEAKER_09]: It's you're not supposed to to open the windows of the White House for security reasons. [SPEAKER_09]: Obviously, and there is video out there that's been confirmed that it wasn't faked that they were putting stuff out. [SPEAKER_09]: Here's the thing. [SPEAKER_09]: I am not as concerned about that as as some people are because I've worked at a number of different radio stations over the years.

[SPEAKER_09]: If you're doing something as simple as, well, what you would think is as simple as tearing up the carpet, tearing up carpet is actually not simple at all. [SPEAKER_09]: It makes a huge forgiveness. [SPEAKER_09]: And when you're dealing with going through like secured areas, especially because it's got metal and it literally, what is recommended in most cases like that is to throw it out the window.

[SPEAKER_09]: And oftentimes they'll put a shoot there or whatever, but that's that is a normal remodeling procedure. [SPEAKER_11]: And according to people on the internet, because you know, as Lincoln said, because it was next to his bedroom. [SPEAKER_11]: He said it on the internet, but apparently it was the sitting room off of the Lincoln Bedroom. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_11]: So is he going to make it gold to?

[SPEAKER_09]: Who knows what's we won't know that yet, but I look at it and I say there are far more important things to be worried about than that to be honest. [SPEAKER_11]: Now people are joking that it was his diapers.

[SPEAKER_09]: well that like I said we were definitely since since Brooklyn that defiant wrote a whole big piece on that we will have to talk to him an hour to because that there was that the big internet rumors about Donnie died there was no rumor however about Mayor Brandon Johnson over the weekend this was this was no joke folks Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed an order with a blueprint for fighting Trump's potential invasion of the city [SPEAKER_09]: And Illinois Governor J.B.

[SPEAKER_09]: Pritzker is calling for everybody to stand up to the potential invasion. [SPEAKER_09]: There's no joke. [SPEAKER_09]: Now, there's been some advancements on that today. [SPEAKER_09]: I don't know if you saw Sunday. [SPEAKER_09]: Secretary Christie, the gnome was out saying, oh, yeah, ICE is going to expand operations in all these big cities. [SPEAKER_09]: And then earlier today, a federal judge ruled that Trump's use of the military and Los Angeles violated the Pasi Commitatus Act.

[SPEAKER_09]: I was very, very glad about that. [SPEAKER_09]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, you know, happened sometimes you get allergies, but, um, no, honestly. [SPEAKER_09]: So, uh, it was, it's very clear. [SPEAKER_09]: I went through this. [SPEAKER_09]: Um, I asked a couple questions of a couple lawyers. [SPEAKER_09]: Uh, one of which, hopefully, we will have coming up here in a couple of weeks here. [SPEAKER_09]: I'll give you details when we confirm them.

[SPEAKER_09]: But, um, long and short, uh, the ruling from Judge Breyer, yes, the, the brother of the former Supreme Court. [SPEAKER_11]: I thought it was a son. [SPEAKER_11]: It's his brother got it. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, believe it's his brother, right. [SPEAKER_09]: And here's the thing.

[SPEAKER_09]: So what he said was that Trump and the Trump regimes, use of military in Los Angeles, violated the Pasi Comitatis Act, there were two big quotes in the ruling, fifty two-page ruling from Judge Breyer. [SPEAKER_09]: Here's the first one. [SPEAKER_09]: He says, quote, there was no rebellion nor was civilian law enforcement unable to respond to the protest and enforce the law. [SPEAKER_09]: And quote, that's the first big one.

[SPEAKER_09]: What that means is, so Trump can get around the Pasi-Kalata swirling, or any president could, if there are two things, if there's an invasion or an insurrection, an obvious one, and he declares it. [SPEAKER_11]: I knew where there was one. [SPEAKER_09]: Jody calling on you. [SPEAKER_09]: Where was the insurrection? [SPEAKER_11]: January six, twenty twenty one. [SPEAKER_09]: Jody is right. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, but unfortunately, Trump was also president then too. [SPEAKER_09]: Anyway.

[SPEAKER_09]: But unless that happens, a president is not allowed to have the military do civilian law enforcement simply not. [SPEAKER_09]: Here's the other thing with the law. [SPEAKER_09]: It's not just the letter of the law, which that's the first quote from Judge Breyer. [SPEAKER_09]: Here's the second quote from Judge Breyer. [SPEAKER_09]: This involves intention. [SPEAKER_09]: His quote is this. [SPEAKER_09]: quote, this was intentional.

[SPEAKER_09]: Defendants instigated a months-long deployment of the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles for the purpose of establishing a military presence there and enforcing federal law and quote, what is posse comatata say you are not to lose, you are not to use the military to enforce federal law. [SPEAKER_11]: or civil law. [SPEAKER_09]: Domestically. [SPEAKER_11]: Domestically. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I mean, you just cannot enforce domestically.

[SPEAKER_09]: Nope. [SPEAKER_09]: Nope, not a lot. [SPEAKER_09]: Nope. [SPEAKER_09]: So yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: So basically that kind of, but it's also nice to see like, well, here's here's Mayor Johnson, in Chicago this weekend at Adirali basically saying exactly what he had done with his more formal signing. [SPEAKER_01]: No federal troops in the city of Chicago. [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to defend our democracy in the city of Chicago.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to protect humanity of every single person in the city of Chicago. [SPEAKER_01]: And we got the baddest freaking labor movement in the city of Chicago here right here. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to take this fight across America. [SPEAKER_01]: But we got to defend the home front first. [SPEAKER_01]: And the best way we defend the home front is to make sure that every single worker has a livable wage.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's why we abolish the sub-middle wage in Chicago for ground and black women. [SPEAKER_01]: They get raises on top of their tips. [SPEAKER_01]: This is the city of Chicago where we have given pay time off for over a million workers ten days off the biggest city in America to ever do it. [SPEAKER_01]: This is the labor movement you all.

[SPEAKER_09]: I know that the Chris Levois says he's not always the best speaker and sometimes on media, sometimes on media, maybe he's a little Joe Biden wasn't the best speaker period, but Joe Biden was a hell of a legislator and Joe Biden was a very excellent president in a whole lot of ways. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, God, yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: So, and look, on top of it, for those of you who are listening in the WCPT area, you know, you got a hell of a governor there, too. [SPEAKER_09]: Pritzker has been fantastic. [SPEAKER_09]: He went on CBS's Sunday morning blather stuff. [SPEAKER_09]: And really, he laid out exactly what Trump wants to do with all of this sickening the National Guard and sickening ice more importantly on all these cities.

[SPEAKER_08]: If that happens, deploying in Washington where he has federal control is one thing. [SPEAKER_08]: But if he sends military forces into a major American city in a state that they've asked for it, beyond Los Angeles, what Americans make of that? [SPEAKER_10]: Well, they should understand that he has other aims other than fighting crime. [SPEAKER_10]: That's the first thing they should understand.

[SPEAKER_10]: The second is it's an attack on the American people by the president of the United States. [SPEAKER_10]: Now, he may disagree with a state that didn't vote for him. [SPEAKER_10]: But should he be sending troops in? [SPEAKER_10]: No. [SPEAKER_10]: You said he has other aims. [SPEAKER_10]: What are the other aims? [SPEAKER_10]: The other aims are that he'd like to stop the elections in twenty twenty six or [SPEAKER_10]: frankly take control of those elections.

[SPEAKER_10]: It'll just claim that there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control. [SPEAKER_09]: Pritzker is right. [SPEAKER_11]: Absolutely right. [SPEAKER_09]: And look, that's the whole thing. [SPEAKER_09]: This is, but if you notice, Brandon Johnson is out there fighting. [SPEAKER_09]: Pritzker is fighting. [SPEAKER_09]: There are a lot of people in a lot of places around the country who are fighting back.

[SPEAKER_09]: That's what a lot of the protests this weekend were about. [SPEAKER_09]: So it's nice to see that a lot of people are saying, in fact, we'll talk with Jared Rizzi about this later this week, because you know, he lives down in DC, but there's been this wonderful thing. [SPEAKER_09]: DC's private citizen night patrols. [SPEAKER_09]: are showing a lot of other Americans how to fight about it. [SPEAKER_09]: We have an article news on tap today that talks about it.

[SPEAKER_09]: Basically everybody's got a camera on their phone. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: And they're organizing with their local neighborhood watch, and they are filming all of these federal agents and everybody else.

[SPEAKER_09]: And they're doing it for the same reason that the DA and Philly Larry Crasner said, which is basically, you guys get out of line, you do anything illegal, and we will have recordings, and they're all kind of statutes of limitation that extend and we'll get jazz.

[SPEAKER_09]: which there are now a growing number of national guard people growing number even of of unspecified but there are reports that there are other federal agents FBI and ICE who are more and more uncomfortable because they're like oh we're being watched and filmed and recorded and it's like oh no yeah exactly because yeah guess what folks you can't just go ramping around everywhere and tramping and breaking the lock is that's not what you're there for so

[SPEAKER_09]: See, some good news from this weekend. [SPEAKER_09]: We got more good news for you from the news on tap. [SPEAKER_09]: We have a drink of the day as well. [SPEAKER_09]: It's a little bit of a nutty drink. [SPEAKER_09]: Johnny has a good story, too, to go along with that. [SPEAKER_09]: Let's do that next. [SPEAKER_09]: Let's do the drink of the day next. [SPEAKER_09]: And then we'll get to more of the news on tap and of course, Brooklyn, Dad, to find coming in.

[SPEAKER_09]: Well, we've been handing out since the beginning of the show. [SPEAKER_09]: Today's drink of the day is one to go nuts over, especially if you like coconut. [SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_09]: So it is. [SPEAKER_11]: It is a Coco de Agua, which is inspired today. [SPEAKER_11]: It's World Coconut Day. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay, World Coconut Day is awesome. [SPEAKER_09]: Although you have a story that is not so well, I mean, it's awesome. [SPEAKER_09]: The ending of the story is good, but the story itself is scary. [SPEAKER_11]: Well, yes, when I lived in Hawaii, we were living on the big island at the time. [SPEAKER_11]: I wanted it.

[SPEAKER_11]: I was fifteen, so in nineteen eighty two. [SPEAKER_11]: And we were visiting some friends of ours, their parents managed the Kona Hilton at the time. [SPEAKER_11]: And so we would always just go and kind of visit because they would let us use the pool and all that stuff, you know. [SPEAKER_11]: And we drive in because we live far from the beach. [SPEAKER_11]: And so we go there not every weekend, but a lot of weekends. [SPEAKER_11]: And so I was walking through the hotel.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: And I was getting to where my sister and everybody else we knew were. [SPEAKER_11]: And there were all these, because if you've ever been in the Conan Hilton back in the eighties, it's a very open air like most Hawaii hotels. [SPEAKER_11]: It's a very open air. [SPEAKER_11]: They have trees in the middle of places, but I was closer to them. [SPEAKER_09]: So lots of palm trees and lots of coconut trees. [SPEAKER_11]: Lots of vegetation everywhere.

[SPEAKER_11]: And so I was walking, and I had walked this area many, many times prior to that. [SPEAKER_11]: And I just [SPEAKER_11]: came to a dead stop for no apparent reason. [SPEAKER_11]: And literally a foot or less in front of me, a coconut had fallen from this one tree. [SPEAKER_11]: A good thirty foot tall tree. [SPEAKER_09]: So like that thing could have killed you. [SPEAKER_11]: Oh, it could have.

[SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: I certainly would have had a concussion if not killed me. [SPEAKER_09]: Thanks. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_09]: Very glad. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm very glad it didn't. [SPEAKER_11]: But it was just like, okay. [SPEAKER_11]: That was looked up. [SPEAKER_11]: The mall was there a monkey. [SPEAKER_11]: Was it a peacock? [SPEAKER_11]: Because there's peacocks there. [SPEAKER_11]: But it just, you know, it just got loose. [SPEAKER_11]: They fall.

[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, they actually fall. [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, that's, that is literally what works with coconuts. [SPEAKER_09]: They get to a certain point. [SPEAKER_09]: They fall off. [SPEAKER_09]: That's how the whole, that's how coconut trees work. [SPEAKER_11]: and that you could see the coconut milk in it. [SPEAKER_11]: It was actually a very ripe coconut. [SPEAKER_11]: It was kind of cool. [SPEAKER_09]: Probably why it fell. [SPEAKER_11]: Probably why.

[SPEAKER_11]: Because it was super ready to go. [SPEAKER_11]: And so, and I love coconut juice. [SPEAKER_11]: I love drinks with coconut in it. [SPEAKER_11]: If you're in it in a dessert drink mode. [SPEAKER_13]: Right. [SPEAKER_11]: And you can get a virgin pina colata. [SPEAKER_11]: You can get a virgin chechier basically the same thing. [SPEAKER_09]: But, right. [SPEAKER_09]: But, today's drink is the coconut diagua. [SPEAKER_09]: And that is also a drink that happens to have.

[SPEAKER_11]: Coconut water, not coconut syrup. [SPEAKER_11]: There's a difference. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: So what is what is in the coconut water? [SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: What you're in the need is a colon's glass, which is your taller one's not a taller glass. [SPEAKER_11]: Got it. [SPEAKER_11]: And you're going to ice for the trick or and ice for your drink. [SPEAKER_09]: Got it, two piles of ice rates.

[SPEAKER_11]: Two ounces of light rum, whatever you desire. [SPEAKER_11]: Got it. [SPEAKER_11]: A half ounce of fresh lime juice. [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: A half ounce of simple syrup. [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: One and a half ounces of coconut water. [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: Club soda.

[SPEAKER_11]: any club zone and mince break for the garnish now it's just listening to the recipe sounds yummy and freshing right doesn't it sound like it sounds good sounds like a like a nice summerish late summer drink with me now we're in that kind of period yeah [SPEAKER_11]: So what you do? [SPEAKER_09]: For those of you listening in the northern hemisphere. [SPEAKER_11]: Exactly, because it's more in terms of going to be summertime down there.

[SPEAKER_11]: So you add your rum, your lime juice, your simple syrup, and your coconut water to the shaker with the ice, and you shake it until it's cold, then you strain it into the ice-filled cauldons glass, and then you just top it with the club soda and garnish with the mint sprig. [SPEAKER_11]: It's just not super interesting, right? [SPEAKER_09]: It's a simple easy drink. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: So capture those summer memories now folks.

[SPEAKER_09]: because my favorite season the autumn is coming. [SPEAKER_09]: So I look, you know, I love a lot of things about autumn. [SPEAKER_09]: Of course, I enjoy Husker football. [SPEAKER_09]: The Huskers, you know, as I mentioned the other day, they won. [SPEAKER_09]: So that was a good thing. [SPEAKER_09]: Husker volleyball is now ranked number one. [SPEAKER_09]: All the votes went to number one, which is great. [SPEAKER_09]: And they beat God, who was it over the weekend?

[SPEAKER_09]: Kentucky that gave him run for their money. [SPEAKER_09]: So I was like, that's good. [SPEAKER_09]: Also Penn State lost. [SPEAKER_09]: So [SPEAKER_09]: I'm happy that way. [SPEAKER_09]: Sorry for you folks who heard Pennsylvania. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, the only reason the Penn State is doing any real good as far as that goes. [SPEAKER_09]: And volleyball is that they have three players who had ties to or at least played formerly on Nebraska.

[SPEAKER_09]: So I'm just saying, you know, I appreciate that you that you took these young ladies who were great, but not great enough to be on Nebraska's team. [SPEAKER_09]: But I know, I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_09]: I know some of you are going to be like, some of you are giving me death looks. [SPEAKER_09]: Whatever. [SPEAKER_09]: fine. [SPEAKER_09]: I'll get off the sports. [SPEAKER_09]: We'll go back to politics after all. [SPEAKER_09]: This is the politics.

[SPEAKER_09]: Mark in the immigration wars Trump had another like he had a lot of losses this weekend. [SPEAKER_11]: Jody and he usually does lose. [SPEAKER_11]: He's a loser. [SPEAKER_09]: He's a loser. [SPEAKER_09]: That he is federal judge blocked the Trump regime deportation of unaccompanied migrant children to Guatemala as the flights ready to take off and a power from law fair. [SPEAKER_09]: She did a whole thing about this.

[SPEAKER_09]: The judge stayed up for basically twenty four hours. [SPEAKER_09]: because the Trump regime there their DOJ people kept being oh we're gonna do this and the judge was like okay jackass I want to report on it I want to report when it's done and I want to report right now or else and they they're okay okay so literally she they woke her up at like two in the morning because somebody found out about it woke the judge and she called a hearing on a holiday Sunday she sure did

[SPEAKER_09]: So that way she stopped and and here's one of things, um, it appears that at least one of these airplanes that had kids on it had taken off. [SPEAKER_09]: They were doing the same damn thing that they did with the prisoner, sending people out of the war. [SPEAKER_11]: And these are unaccompanied minors. [SPEAKER_11]: These are children.

[SPEAKER_09]: Unaccompanied minors and there is confirmation from multiple of the parents, I guess, that are in Guatemala that are like, no, no, no. [SPEAKER_09]: We wanted our children sent to the US. [SPEAKER_09]: There is there, so that they could try to be sent us. [SPEAKER_09]: I think it tried to be in a safe place.

[SPEAKER_09]: We didn't want them sent back to Guatemala, which, of course, that was the Trump regime's thought is they were like, oh, no, no, the parents all want them sent back. [SPEAKER_09]: And the parents were like, no, no, no, and the judge was like, okay, you lied to me about that. [SPEAKER_09]: You first of all, you lied to me and you tried to put these kids on it like two in the morning and get them shipped out of the country. [SPEAKER_09]: And you lied to me by what the parents want.

[SPEAKER_09]: That's why she was like, every step along the way, I want your ass to report it to me or I'll have your ass because I'm a judge and I can do that. [SPEAKER_09]: And I guess the Trump DOJ guy was like, sorry, sorry, sorry. [SPEAKER_11]: Sorry. [SPEAKER_11]: Actually, lawyers were, we'll listen to a judge. [SPEAKER_09]: I've got some messages on here from from a friend.

[SPEAKER_09]: Rebecca Buckweller Poza who is she's she's one of the lawyers that I mentioned in our our growing slate of lawyers that we have here the politics bar and she's been looking over the uh... the posse comatatus act stuff she's she sent me a few things here i will have to go over them with you guys a little bit later since we talked about an hour one here there's more stuff we'll go back to the posse comment had a stuff in act two but just to say act to an hour two i love that

[SPEAKER_11]: Act two, sorry, hour two, but look, we're Shakespeare. [SPEAKER_09]: The fact is that Trump, the whole Trump regime is so half-assed. [SPEAKER_09]: RFK, Jr. [SPEAKER_09]: is half-assed.

[SPEAKER_09]: The lawyers who are still sticking around many of them at DOJ are half-assed, that's one of the keys if you are out in front of things, like [SPEAKER_09]: like Mayor Brandon Johnson to Chicago like J.B. [SPEAKER_09]: Pritzker if you are assertive and even aggressive like Governor Newsom has been in punching back in standing up and saying back off here's the law they fold [SPEAKER_09]: The Trump bullies fold. [SPEAKER_09]: The Trump bullies fold.

[SPEAKER_09]: They run and they get beat because they don't have their ducks in a row. [SPEAKER_09]: They're trying to operate this gigantic machine that is the US federal government and they're the keystone cops trying to do it. [SPEAKER_09]: They're idiots.

[SPEAKER_09]: they're smarter than the the keystone cops the three stuages and all of Benny Hill's people smarter combined then many of the trump people yes and even even when some of the trump people actually have half a brain so uh... the uh... we have this little bit further down in the news on tap under the shambling trump executive branch section so the social security whistleblower uh... who i guess was involved with those

[SPEAKER_09]: But then, you know, it was like, no, I don't want anything to do with those people. [SPEAKER_09]: Notified federal officials that doge uploaded personal information more than three hundred million people from social security, basically their social security numbers to an unsecured cloud. [SPEAKER_09]: And after three days, because he's so frustrated and wasn't getting it, he quit. [SPEAKER_09]: Even people who were on their side before like this crap is too far.

[SPEAKER_09]: So, uh, oh, speaking of too far, that same category, uh, attorney general Pam Bondi, fired a DOJ staffer for allegedly giving the bird to national guard members. [SPEAKER_11]: So there's no free speech in the government anymore. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, not if you work for Trump. [SPEAKER_09]: which actually, yes, there is free speech. [SPEAKER_09]: They can't really do that.

[SPEAKER_09]: She'll probably, of course, have to sue and then they'll have to pay her extra and all that comes out of your tax money. [SPEAKER_09]: Remember, all these unnecessary legal crap is coming out of, exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: You and me, it's our our tax money.

[SPEAKER_09]: They could just, you know, follow the law and not f things up, but no, no, no, no, no. [SPEAKER_09]: This, this is the Trump regime where are just going to barrel through [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, that is how he operated his business. [SPEAKER_09]: So for those people, you know who say it's better operate the government like business?

[SPEAKER_11]: No, no, no, no, no, no. [SPEAKER_11]: And Donald now wants to move space command to Alabama from Colorado, which is going to cost us money in according to people that are in security. [SPEAKER_11]: They're like, no, no, no, Colorado Springs safer. [SPEAKER_09]: Do you want to know one of the reasons that Colorado Springs is safer for things like space command. [SPEAKER_09]: There are multiple reasons.

[SPEAKER_09]: First of all, one of the big mountain hideouts for the federal government. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: You want to know another reason? [SPEAKER_09]: The mountains. [SPEAKER_09]: The mountains, and I say this, not wrong. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, not as a protective thing. [SPEAKER_09]: There's something in a lot of people. [SPEAKER_09]: So I used to, God, there was a summer that I lived in Denver back in the day when I was going to college.

[SPEAKER_09]: And my dad worked for satellites, TV, company, whatever, and so he got me a job doing tele services. [SPEAKER_09]: And this was the big CBAN satellites, the big huge ones that he's doing in the backyards. [SPEAKER_09]: But there are a number of telecommunications companies that have sites out in Colorado. [SPEAKER_09]: And the reason why is, is if you put those telecom units on the top of some of the Rocky Mountains, you can hit China directly.

[SPEAKER_09]: You kind of hit over the curve of the earth. [SPEAKER_09]: You don't have to worry necessarily about it. [SPEAKER_09]: It's a nice, easy shot, straight shot, very easy. [SPEAKER_09]: You know, very easy for satellites, all kinds of things like that. [SPEAKER_09]: And when you're dealing with, I don't know, space command.

[SPEAKER_09]: It might be helpful to be able to deal with not just to the west across all the way to China, but also all the way to Europe, basically covering about two thirds of the earth, which they can do from Colorado Springs. [SPEAKER_09]: They cannot do that from Alabama, which is one of the reasons that space command isn't Colorado Springs. [SPEAKER_11]: Well, he, I think it was just a proof of life video for him today. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, well, yeah, he was he was out.

[SPEAKER_09]: Donning was proving he was a lot. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, well, we'll talk about the whole rumored death of Donald Trump that happened this weekend over social media. [SPEAKER_09]: We got Brooklyn down to find coming in. [SPEAKER_09]: We will talk about that because he wrote a big piece at Defiant Dispatches, which you can find a link in the guest section of the news on tap at the politics bar dot com. [SPEAKER_09]: It is Tuesday night. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, get your drink or fresh.

[SPEAKER_09]: Do what you got to do. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, you got to go down the hall, use of sillies, turn left, turn right. [SPEAKER_09]: You know what you got to go, just to remember. [SPEAKER_09]: We end, please. [SPEAKER_09]: You end two, please. [SPEAKER_09]: So we don't have to clean up that much. [SPEAKER_09]: All right. [SPEAKER_09]: All right. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, take a couple minutes. [SPEAKER_09]: Do your thing. [SPEAKER_09]: Come on back. [SPEAKER_09]: We got more news.

[SPEAKER_09]: And we got Brooklyn Dad to fight. [SPEAKER_09]: It's Joni and me here at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_12]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_04]: It's Tuesday night here at the politics mart.

[SPEAKER_05]: I am very glad to have Jody here with you and me and Jody's very glad to have me here with you [SPEAKER_09]: it's a it's a Tuesday that sounds like a Monday it seems like a Monday we have our drinks handy hopefully you caught the drink of the day if you missed it look the best thing you can do is subscribe at the politics bar dot com of course you can also subscribe if you missed any of the show on your favorite podcast player thank you by the way for those you listening live

[SPEAKER_09]: wherever you happen to be coming in from, whether that is America one radio in Lantern or AM-Nine-Fifty Mini Apple St. [SPEAKER_09]: Paul, maybe you're listening on the detour talk in the Tri-City's area of Tennessee or WCPTA in May, or maybe you are listening on progressive voices radio worldwide wherever you happen to be. [SPEAKER_09]: Thank you very much for that.

[SPEAKER_09]: All right, Jody. [SPEAKER_09]: So I said there was going to be some more stuff coming in obviously from the the Posse Comotatus case because there there actually is more of this type of step. [SPEAKER_09]: So and Donnie did a proof of life. [SPEAKER_09]: video today or appearance, I guess you could say he, um, uh, well, here. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, let me play this, uh, I have this one on the DDR here. [SPEAKER_09]: Basically, he's threatening to send troops back to California.

[SPEAKER_09]: No, I'm not. [SPEAKER_06]: But I watched Newsom get up and say, uh, he's doing a great. [SPEAKER_06]: He's not with the ones that did it. [SPEAKER_06]: And that's okay. [SPEAKER_06]: Whatever it takes. [SPEAKER_06]: But the main thing is we, but he got up and said, we did it. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, he didn't want us there. [SPEAKER_11]: No. [SPEAKER_06]: And he's going to need us again because it's starting to form again. [SPEAKER_06]: I see it.

[SPEAKER_06]: It's starting to form again. [SPEAKER_11]: What is starting to form? [SPEAKER_11]: I live here. [SPEAKER_11]: What the hell is he talking about? [SPEAKER_09]: Not only is he incomprehensible, but he's saying that Newsom is going to need us again. [SPEAKER_09]: No, Newsom didn't. [SPEAKER_09]: And actually today, Pritzker answered Donnie back, literally like within minutes after Donnie did his little dog and pony show.

[SPEAKER_09]: JB Pritzker, Governor Pritzker got up and said this. [SPEAKER_10]: So in the absence of significant federal coordination, we've gathered information from unauthorized patriotic officials inside the government and from well-sourced reporters about Donald Trump's plan, which is to deploy armed military personnel to the streets of Chicago. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm aware that the president of the United States likes to go on television and beg me to call and ask him for troops.

[SPEAKER_10]: I find this extraordinarily strange as Chicago does not want troops on our streets. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, see? [SPEAKER_11]: Look, we don't know. [SPEAKER_09]: Exactly, exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: And some of the legal notes that I've got some of this stuff, it is exactly, it is confirming from multiple layers. [SPEAKER_09]: I got a bunch of text coming in where I'm as you're sitting here, you're looking, you're going, what are you scrolling through on your phone?

[SPEAKER_09]: I'm scrolling through several legal opinions about this. [SPEAKER_09]: All boils down to the notes that I took earlier that you and I talked about when when, you know, I believe in first hour and we came in, which long and short says this. [SPEAKER_09]: Judge Breyer in the Posse Comotatus case that came down today. [SPEAKER_09]: The ruling came down at a first. [SPEAKER_09]: It's set up that it is currently just for California.

[SPEAKER_12]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: However, Breyer wrote it really, really, really, really. [SPEAKER_09]: And I'm both people that I thought that I have texted my phone from here, are saying that he wrote it so that when when the Trump regime tries to appeal to the Supreme Court, [SPEAKER_09]: They'll be able to basically roll this out to the rest of the country.

[SPEAKER_09]: So it's actually probably going to be really stupid for Donnie to try to appeal this because if he does, the court will roll against him on this because it's very, possibly Comotonus is very clear. [SPEAKER_09]: And then it will block Trump from being able to push these ice units in the National Guard units out to the rest of the country. [SPEAKER_09]: Actually, in the lock-in from pushing the ice units out, but it may pardon me.

[SPEAKER_09]: The lock-in from pushing the National Guard units out in May. [SPEAKER_09]: It may hinder his ability because of what he did. [SPEAKER_09]: So the two things that were noted by these two different lawyers, they said first of all was the first quote that I quoted to you last hour from Judge Breyer. [SPEAKER_09]: Judge Breyer said, quote, there was no rebellion, nor was civilian law enforcement unable to respond to the protest and enforce the law.

[SPEAKER_09]: That's what J.V. [SPEAKER_09]: Pritzker was talking about there. [SPEAKER_09]: One of the things about Posse-Calitatis, one of the things about insurrection or rebellion is that a governor needs to ask. [SPEAKER_09]: That's one of the things about calling the National Guard is that you have to get the permission of the governor of the state.

[SPEAKER_09]: The only one where Trump doesn't need the permission is Washington, D.C. [SPEAKER_09]: because Washington, D.C. [SPEAKER_09]: is not a state. [SPEAKER_09]: But otherwise, this even includes territories. [SPEAKER_09]: If you're in the territory of Guam, he has to get the permission because they're their own legal animal. [SPEAKER_09]: not like the DC. [SPEAKER_11]: Look, LA had the National Guard come in in nineteen ninety two during the riots.

[SPEAKER_11]: When the city literally was on fire, I can attest to that. [SPEAKER_11]: I was living here at the time. [SPEAKER_02]: Right. [SPEAKER_11]: And so yes, we needed them, but by the time they got in, and the entire city was on fire. [SPEAKER_11]: I mean, seriously, from the beach to not, I'm [SPEAKER_09]: It was it was clearly and obviously needed there. [SPEAKER_11]: And that is that's the day with the day it was pretty much squashed. [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[SPEAKER_09]: Well, one of the one of the lawyers here says, okay, DHS and companies sank themselves. [SPEAKER_09]: She says Los Angeles was the first U.S. [SPEAKER_09]: city where President Trump and Secretary Hegith Seth deployed troops, but not the last. [SPEAKER_09]: Following criticisms by Trump of the crime rate in DC Secretary Hegith Seth announced that National Guard troops would be deployed to DC [SPEAKER_09]: to quote stand with their law enforcement partners.

[SPEAKER_09]: Remember when we said that that was stupid that he said that? [SPEAKER_09]: In fact, is actually one of the things that was nailed in this case that Judge Breyer said. [SPEAKER_09]: And look, she says, when somebody's quoting Marbury versus Madison against you, you're in trouble. [SPEAKER_09]: That was on page sixteen. [SPEAKER_09]: And they even quoted Scalia, long and short.

[SPEAKER_09]: It's the fact that Trump and Kegbreath all said, you know, we're going to use the military to them as well. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, right. [SPEAKER_09]: And here's the other thing. [SPEAKER_09]: That was that was the other quote that I noted from Judge Breyer earlier today. [SPEAKER_09]: He said in his ruling today, quote, this was intentional.

[SPEAKER_09]: Defendants instigated a months-long deployment of the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles for the purpose of establishing a military presence there and enforcing federal law and quote. [SPEAKER_09]: And Posse Comitatis says, no, you cannot do that. [SPEAKER_09]: So look, this is very, very clear. [SPEAKER_09]: And we are extremely glad of this kind of thing. [SPEAKER_09]: But this, this is the kind of thing that happens when people stand up and they fight back.

[SPEAKER_09]: And obviously, this is exactly what has happened in this particular case. [SPEAKER_09]: Look who is dancing his way in with no music at all. [SPEAKER_09]: It is Brooklyn Dad to find Mr. Majid. [SPEAKER_09]: How you doing this evening, brother? [SPEAKER_07]: I am doing well. [SPEAKER_07]: Thank you very much. [SPEAKER_07]: You're doing well.

[SPEAKER_09]: I'm guessing I'm guessing because you had a great weekend or maybe it's because you heard about the possibly comatatus case ruling we were just talking about or maybe you heard about Donald Trump little Donnie getting smack down on immigration. [SPEAKER_09]: Of course, we also know that you wrote this great piece that we've been meaning to talk about about everybody thinking Donnie was dead a lot of reasons to be happy this weekend.

[SPEAKER_07]: Indeed, I was, we all had a moment where like, you know, when, when there's actually, you know, there is a one billion dollar jackpot and the lottery, right? [SPEAKER_07]: Look, I got my power ball ticket to somebody. [SPEAKER_11]: One, one and a half million dollars, three miles from my house on Saturdays. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay, so you're going to go there and buy your power ball ticket.

[SPEAKER_11]: No, because that means your odds are no. [SPEAKER_11]: Oh, don't go to the same place. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, that's true. [SPEAKER_09]: Don't go to the same place. [SPEAKER_09]: All right, lightning striking twice. [SPEAKER_07]: But you know that moment where right after you bought your ticket, you allow yourself to kind of daydreaming, think about, you know, how how your life would change if you were the big winner.

[SPEAKER_07]: You know, so [SPEAKER_07]: millions of Americans across America had that kind of what if moment when we were wondering where the heck is is Donald Trump? [SPEAKER_07]: And is he still amongst the living? [SPEAKER_07]: What did he do? [SPEAKER_11]: He's defiant. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry, but he's a hundred percent. [SPEAKER_07]: BD is correct. [SPEAKER_07]: Just saying. [SPEAKER_09]: You know, look, as the old phrase goes, you know, you can dream.

[SPEAKER_09]: You can dream about it. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: And look, I totally understood it. [SPEAKER_09]: But it also, it was one of those things where, you know, I saw some odd references to it at first on Blue Sky. [SPEAKER_09]: And I over the weekend and I was like, whatever. [SPEAKER_09]: And then I flipped over to Twitter and Twitter was this raging fire of, oh my god, Donnie's dad and then like whatever. [SPEAKER_09]: I looked over at threads and there were a couple.

[SPEAKER_09]: And then as time went on, it filtered more into threads. [SPEAKER_09]: It filtered more into Blue Sky and Instagram and some on Facebook. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm like, good Lord people. [SPEAKER_09]: It's like a contagion.

[SPEAKER_07]: you know my my Friday nights when they kick off right after I do my my show story time with BDD and I immediately jump into my pizza and movie night and and I love it you know that's that's that's all I'm about for the next several hours and then occasionally I will [SPEAKER_07]: open my phone to see what the heck I've missed because I'm it's always when I decide to shut off, you know, you have that phomo, the fear missing out.

[SPEAKER_09]: It's almost like it's almost like being on the Bob sesco show because as Jody knows from experience, the moment the show is done, there's like ten pieces of news that blow up and Bob like, son of a bitch. [SPEAKER_01]: So [SPEAKER_09]: You know, totally understand that that FOMO, you know, you're, you're wondering on Friday night, but so you've done Friday night, you saw your phone blowing up. [SPEAKER_07]: And well, it's not that my phone was blowing up.

[SPEAKER_07]: It was just, I looked on Twitter and the, the top three, uh, this was very funny. [SPEAKER_07]: The top three trending topics where is Trump dead. [SPEAKER_07]: That was number one number two was Trump died and number three was no one mourns the wicked which I thought was That was savage [SPEAKER_09]: There are a lot of there are a lot of maggots or former maggots. [SPEAKER_09]: I don't want to be called there. [SPEAKER_09]: They're non-Trump maggots.

[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know, but they're mad at him. [SPEAKER_09]: They're mad at him for a lot of legitimate reasons because among other things he's been tanking the economy. [SPEAKER_09]: He keeps running into stupid things and and okay. [SPEAKER_09]: So one of the things that I said earlier in our one, I told you guys here in the bar that we were going to mention. [SPEAKER_09]: There is some discussion, nothing firm, about certain regions of the country doing their own mini-CDC thing.

[SPEAKER_09]: But something that did actually happen was the New Mexican co-governor, Governor Ray Luhan. [SPEAKER_09]: She's great. [SPEAKER_09]: She's fantastic. [SPEAKER_09]: Health officials there have signed an order to ensure access to COVID vaccines regardless of what the Trump administration does.

[SPEAKER_09]: Because you see a lot of the reason that you're having that you may be having problems in like, you know, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen states is because insurance companies are waiting for certain things from from another agent from which is controlled by RFK junior and they got to worry about this and that like like for example, here in the DC area of the bar in Virginia, you'll need a doctor's I think of Virginia DC right, but if you go to Maryland,

[SPEAKER_09]: You can go to like CVS and Walgreens there and or you know any local pharmacy and you'll be able to get it just fine. [SPEAKER_09]: It literally depends on where you live as to what healthcare you're getting. [SPEAKER_09]: This is everything. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it is it's stupid. [SPEAKER_11]: And it's expensive. [SPEAKER_11]: It's like a four hundred dollar shot. [SPEAKER_09]: Jody is right.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, but see if I if I just go to the Maryland area of the bar like if I go for Bob seske is I'll be fine. [SPEAKER_09]: I can I can get it no problem just like I did you know like before Trump was in so A lot of poor people are going to die by this unfortunately and and they're going to be his supporters. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, and that's the thing.

[SPEAKER_09]: But for the rest of us who are trying to protect ourselves, that's what we're going to need to do is get it where you can. [SPEAKER_09]: And if that means that you got to go visit a friend in a neighboring state. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, well, and I don't have any problem with that. [SPEAKER_11]: And there's only a list last Friday about who can get it. [SPEAKER_09]: We did. [SPEAKER_09]: We put that list in the news on tap under on last Friday.

[SPEAKER_09]: You can look up in the archives at the politics bar dot com. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay, BDD heard the music now. [SPEAKER_09]: He's like, you know, what off his chair at the bar. [SPEAKER_09]: And he's just dancing around. [SPEAKER_09]: Jody's got her a little kitty. [SPEAKER_09]: I hope you have your drink ready because we have a whole bunch more we are going to talk a little bit more about Brooklyn Dead Defiance piece at Defiant Dispatches and of course more of the news on tap.

[SPEAKER_09]: It is a Tuesday night. [SPEAKER_09]: I know you're you're thinking wait a minute. [SPEAKER_09]: It feels like a Monday. [SPEAKER_09]: I had one of those days. [SPEAKER_09]: You did, Joe. [SPEAKER_09]: You definitely. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_09]: All of us made me break there as funny. [SPEAKER_09]: Look. [SPEAKER_09]: It's your drink refresh. [SPEAKER_09]: Dude, you gotta do.

[SPEAKER_09]: We will come on back and talk about more than news on tap with the one and only Brooklyn Dad to find here at the politics bar on a Tuesday night. [SPEAKER_09]: Hang on. [SPEAKER_03]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_09]: Toos, did I? [SPEAKER_09]: Here at the politics box. [SPEAKER_09]: Thank you by the way for all of your comments and your voicemail messages.

[SPEAKER_09]: Remember if you want to leave a voicemail message, look at the phone's good. [SPEAKER_09]: You got a good question. [SPEAKER_09]: Maybe we'll bring you back into the bar. [SPEAKER_09]: Easy. [SPEAKER_09]: The number two one three six seven seven seven seven seven seven two five eight, but it's two one three six seven seven. [SPEAKER_09]: Salt like in your margarita.

[SPEAKER_09]: Thank you by the way for all the messages you leave on Blue sky and Facebook and Substack, Threads and Instagram and Twitter. [SPEAKER_09]: We are there at the [SPEAKER_09]: the politics bar.com. [SPEAKER_09]: I was busy looking at my notes. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_09]: It's how it goes. [SPEAKER_09]: I want people in the bar to think that I know what I'm talking about.

[SPEAKER_09]: Also, yes, I was trying not to break because Michigan was having fun dancing and being silly. [SPEAKER_09]: He got you to break. [SPEAKER_09]: We are very glad that you are taking a break different kind of break with us here at the politics mark. [SPEAKER_09]: So I I got one more note on a posse comatata stuff here from my friend Rebecca who thank you very much for listening and thank you for giving us some some great advice.

[SPEAKER_09]: We're going to have to have her back in the bar. [SPEAKER_09]: She's got a great piece coming up. [SPEAKER_09]: Can't remember where it's at. [SPEAKER_09]: Maybe it's at the advocate and we will get her in the bar here.

[SPEAKER_09]: uh... very soon for that but um... she said that the uh... the ruling from judge briar today the posicometatus uh... basically violation the trump and keg breath and christie the gnome tried to do uh... she said that uh... bryers ruling does a very thorough job of writing the road map for other courts which is exactly what we said while ironically acknowledging

[SPEAKER_09]: that is really all that they can do right now, but it really basically sets it up so that if Trump decides to appeal this thing to the Supreme Court, which is his wants, you know, I'm going to appeal it till I get the way I want, because the Supreme Court, even the Supreme Court is likely going to punch him in the face and be like, no, no, no, no, no, no. [SPEAKER_11]: So let's hope. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I'm just sitting there going, it's dude never learns.

[SPEAKER_09]: He is so stupid. [SPEAKER_09]: He never, never learns. [SPEAKER_11]: Well, I mean, we were saying earlier, sorry, but she said that, okay, so the stupid announcement today was basically just a proof of life video. [SPEAKER_11]: Okay. [SPEAKER_09]: And he was, it was kind of, yeah. [SPEAKER_11]: I mean, you know, he literally said Asian has the audio. [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[SPEAKER_11]: He said the reason that he's moving space command, which literally should have just been a press release, to Alabama. [SPEAKER_13]: He can say that name. [SPEAKER_11]: It's the only way. [SPEAKER_11]: They went to all, they're moving from Colorado to Alabama, because Colorado went to all male and voting, so they have a chance. [SPEAKER_09]: I've got the clip if you want to play. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay, here is.

[SPEAKER_06]: And this would be there for hopefully hundreds of years, that's where it's going to be. [SPEAKER_06]: No. [SPEAKER_06]: I will say I want to thank Colorado, the problem I have with Colorado, one of the big problems, they do mail-in voting. [SPEAKER_06]: They went to all mail-in voting, so they have automatically crooked elections. [SPEAKER_06]: And we can't have that when the state is for mail-in voting, that means they want dishonest elections because that's what that means.

[SPEAKER_11]: Utah, Utah, Utah. [SPEAKER_09]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: And other states do. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, and that's why he's saying that he can't move space. [SPEAKER_11]: That's why he wants to move space, whatever it is. [SPEAKER_09]: He's moving. [SPEAKER_11]: He says, from Colorado because of elections. [SPEAKER_09]: Do you want to know why he's actually moving it to Huntsville, Alabama?

[SPEAKER_09]: What is what is related to space that's in Huntsville, Alabama and was big in the nineteen eighties. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, I was going to say the space in between Tommy two reveals years, but now. [SPEAKER_09]: We would also accept that answer, but it's space camp. [SPEAKER_09]: Space camp. [SPEAKER_09]: Remember like they had that movie in space camp, you know, it's where kids go to have the experience of like being on the shuttle and everything.

[SPEAKER_09]: Space camp was a big huge thing if you remember in the nineteen eighties. [SPEAKER_09]: Wow, I didn't know that. [SPEAKER_09]: That's why he wants to because Donald Trump is still stuck in the freaking eighties. [SPEAKER_09]: As opposed to the reason that that space force command was in Colorado Springs, which is before it was called space force, and it was just a division of believe the air force.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it was also there because of the fact that you can reach two thirds of the earth from the communications equipment that they have up on the mountain there. [SPEAKER_09]: You can reach two thirds of the earth without having to worry about going all the way to satellites on the other side. [SPEAKER_09]: And in fact, because there is less satellites to bounce to, you can get signals faster around.

[SPEAKER_09]: That's one of the reasons that a lot of that communication equipment is up there on the Rocky Mountains outside of Colorado Springs. [SPEAKER_07]: I was going to say earlier that one of the best things about what's been happening is that the courts have managed to hold fast when it comes to taking a stand for our democracy.

[SPEAKER_07]: And I'm hoping that somebody raises a court challenge to this thing, because what I've seen is that [SPEAKER_07]: even though it seems like, oh man, here he goes again, he's, you know, doing something that's unconstitutional and it's illegal and he shouldn't have the right to do it. [SPEAKER_07]: Other people tend to agree with us on that note and they're like, yeah, you know what, I'm gonna mount a court challenge to that.

[SPEAKER_07]: And despite the fact that he kind of, it does kind of seem like he has the Supreme Court in his pocket, there are still enough people in America who give a damn. [SPEAKER_07]: You are like, you know what? [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I am going to take the time and energy needed to make a stand right here. [SPEAKER_07]: So that's it's encouraging to see that about this posse camp Comitatist thing. [SPEAKER_07]: Very encouraging to see it about the tariffs thing.

[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know if you guys talk you must have talked about that. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, but that hour one. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, that he got slapped down on the tariffs thing too. [SPEAKER_07]: And yeah, I say let's keep keep it going. [SPEAKER_09]: Keep it [SPEAKER_09]: There's a whole there was even a story we didn't get an news on tap today, but Amy Coney Barrett has a new book out.

[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry, but John Fiegelsang's book is a lot better separation of church in the out of week from today. [SPEAKER_09]: September nine to get your copy now at all of your favorite booksellers, including the audio book which John voiced. [SPEAKER_09]: Anyway, but the the Amy Coney Barrett has a new book. [SPEAKER_09]: And I guess the Trump White House is pissed because basically she takes kind of a [SPEAKER_09]: set my straight down line and she barely mentions him.

[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm looking at it going, well, first of all, it's her book about her. [SPEAKER_09]: So the fact that the Trump regime is like, but you didn't mention me. [SPEAKER_09]: Did you even say thank you. [SPEAKER_09]: exactly exactly the whole JV van's thing. [SPEAKER_09]: But here's the thing is that even bear it other than her being a handmaiden on the the issue of roby way, which is absolutely inexcusable as far as I'm concerned, but yeah other than that.

[SPEAKER_09]: she is actually able to to some degree hold a somewhat same. [SPEAKER_09]: I don't agree with her positions, but you know, you you could at least understand where she's coming from as opposed to the Calvin ball positions of like a Lito where a Lito's positions are not all Trump is a God and whatever he says is fine, but I can't actually say that. [SPEAKER_09]: So I'm going to change my justification here and there. [SPEAKER_09]: She actually has some kind of she's I don't like her.

[SPEAKER_09]: I don't agree with her, but at least she can say [SPEAKER_09]: here's where I stand because of the kind of like we talked about John Bolton and we've been saying recently you know I don't agree with him on his foreign policy stuff and his foreign policy ideas are very billing the cat they wouldn't actually work in reality but at least he's intellectually consistent with what he believes he's wrong just as bear it is wrong

[SPEAKER_09]: But they're not so far not job, like a Lito, that they're out of the bounds of reality. [SPEAKER_09]: When you bring legal things to them, like you can guarantee this Pasi Commitatus thing is gonna come before them. [SPEAKER_09]: And she wouldn't more than likely look at it and look at the justification that was written by Judge Breyer and go, you know what?

[SPEAKER_09]: He's right, Pasi Commitatus says this, Constitution says this, no, Donald Trump and Pete Kegbreath and Chris, you know. [SPEAKER_11]: She's done that a couple of times already, even Kavanaugh has. [SPEAKER_09]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_11]: That's what we always found interesting with with, okay, so I'm on the Supreme Court. [SPEAKER_11]: Life time appointment. [SPEAKER_11]: It's right. [SPEAKER_11]: No Supreme Court justice or any federal judge as far as I know has ever been impeached.

[SPEAKER_09]: Not to my knowledge. [SPEAKER_09]: It could be wrong. [SPEAKER_09]: We have to check them. [SPEAKER_11]: But it'd be a hundred years at least. [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, you guys, not in the modern era, right? [SPEAKER_11]: My thing is it's like, once I'm on the bench, thank you for giving me the job. [SPEAKER_11]: Now I can do what I want. [SPEAKER_09]: And that's kind of because they have no ethics clause in it.

[SPEAKER_09]: That's one of the other things we we had earlier Tom via Facebook over the weekend left us some messages BDD he said there are things that Democrats are going to have to be assertive about when we get in whether people like it or not we're going to have to do it kind of like [SPEAKER_09]: when president Obama democrats said screw it, we're going to try to get the ACA in because people need health care.

[SPEAKER_09]: And the same way, democrats are going to have to come in and say, look, we need to make some changes. [SPEAKER_09]: No convicted felons allowed to be potent, especially about things like fraud and right overturning citizens united, gone, expanding the house, getting rid of the electoral college. [SPEAKER_09]: We, we've got, and whether people like it or not, we're going to have to say, you know, what suck it? [SPEAKER_09]: This is just how it has to be.

[SPEAKER_09]: You have to be assertive to get something and I realize there are a lot of very good [SPEAKER_09]: ocratic people, but very, very good people who are registered, registered to Democrats, they're nice people. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm friends with a number of them who they get really, they get the shivers. [SPEAKER_09]: They get, uh, about challenged the norms. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: And when you and when you say, you have to be assertive.

[SPEAKER_09]: When you say to them, you have to punch the bully in the face. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: They get scared about it. [SPEAKER_09]: But that is what we're going to have to do. [SPEAKER_09]: are going to have to as John Fugle saying has said numerous times here in the bar that we're going to have to have some kind of truth and reconciliation committee.

[SPEAKER_09]: We are going to have to have some kind of thing like that and it is there are going to be things in there that and we are going to have to among other things something that Tom didn't mention, but I fully mentioned is that we are going to need to as as a media industry.

[SPEAKER_09]: we are going to need to cleave the entertainment from the news a lot more sharply than it is and we are going to need to set standards and practices as an industry because right now it's the equivalent of of anybody being a street food vendor or of a vendor at the fair you go to the county fair the state fair [SPEAKER_09]: Right now, we don't have the equivalent of food laws.

[SPEAKER_09]: If what you're taking in as information was food, I could be selling you dog crap and call it a hot dog and you ain't going to know the difference and you ain't going to be able to complain to nobody. [SPEAKER_09]: If you get sick and you're anti dies. [SPEAKER_11]: Well, I mean, the FCC has control, but cable streaming like what we're doing. [SPEAKER_09]: FCC has control over broadcast. [SPEAKER_09]: That's it. [SPEAKER_09]: You're right. [SPEAKER_09]: That's it.

[SPEAKER_11]: They want to expand it because the internet is begging for it. [SPEAKER_09]: There needs to be some, there needs to be some control, but here's the thing. [SPEAKER_09]: I don't necessarily want the government to come into control. [SPEAKER_09]: I want the industry because the news industry itself, there are a lot of industries that have set down standards because everybody thought they did with rating. [SPEAKER_09]: There's a perfect example.

[SPEAKER_09]: MPAA is is the movie, an organization that sets up the ratings. [SPEAKER_09]: They're not controlled by the government. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, they work with the government on some things, but they are the agency that sets whether it's a g rated and are rated a PG- thirteen and x rated, whatever the rating for the movie is. [SPEAKER_11]: Then C- seventeen, no, not x. Right. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: You're right. [SPEAKER_09]: Jody is right. [SPEAKER_11]: But look.

[SPEAKER_09]: And I was like to call it X because I was like, you know, is it? [SPEAKER_09]: One X two X or three X, you know, whatever, but. [SPEAKER_11]: Remember those triple X movies go. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: But the idea, the idea behind this is when you see a movie and you see what it's rated, you automatically have some idea of whether you can take your family to it, whether you can take your teenage kids to it, whether you could go to it if you are a kid.

[SPEAKER_09]: It's something that's done so that people can trust the entertainment districts. [SPEAKER_09]: That's why on TV entertainment shows. [SPEAKER_09]: They put on the little letters that are in the top corner. [SPEAKER_09]: It tells you if there's S for sex or V for violence. [SPEAKER_09]: So you as a parent can look at that and say, I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_09]: This is not for you as a kid. [SPEAKER_09]: It's so that private companies can say if you want to set up the parental ratings.

[SPEAKER_09]: on whatever viewing or if you want to set up parental ratings on on several of the social media things and YouTube or whatever that you can set those up to. [SPEAKER_09]: It's so that you have a little bit more control in your life over what you and your family and your friends are looking at and taking in. [SPEAKER_09]: We don't have anything like that in the news industry. [SPEAKER_09]: We need that. [SPEAKER_09]: We need something that says this is trustworthy stuff.

[SPEAKER_09]: These are organizations or individuals that are proven they're worth to be trustworthy. [SPEAKER_11]: and the eighties with the fairness uh... the fairness doctor and right and a very fair use that's copyright my brain went there no no we're in the other thing is is with the uh... clinton signed it in a lot of the basically what makes us telecom deregulation act in ninety four ninety six you also did that too [SPEAKER_09]: And that's a lot, that's another thing we need to do.

[SPEAKER_09]: I agree. [SPEAKER_09]: We need to go in and make sure that big corporations can no longer own a bajillion different things, especially with radio stations, TV stations and newspapers. [SPEAKER_11]: I guess it's what six companies know, own everything or something. [SPEAKER_09]: It used to be that you could own basically like a newspaper or an FM. [SPEAKER_09]: I think you could own like one newspaper and one radio station. [SPEAKER_09]: And then they changed it.

[SPEAKER_09]: You could own an AM and FM and a newspaper. [SPEAKER_09]: And then after the telecom act of ninety four and ninety six, they really blew things up. [SPEAKER_11]: And that was how the internet get born. [SPEAKER_11]: And I understand that, but it's screwed the rest of us up. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Yep. [SPEAKER_09]: I understand the good intentions. [SPEAKER_09]: But as I've said before, my mother has had a phrase since I was a small child.

[SPEAKER_09]: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. [SPEAKER_09]: Yep. [SPEAKER_09]: And so I would come on mom and she'd say, you know, you do this and she'd be really mad at me and I get in trouble. [SPEAKER_09]: And I'd be like, but I meant to do this. [SPEAKER_09]: And she would say, Sean, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. [SPEAKER_09]: It's like, oh crap, I got to think about how this will actually affect things and not just what I wished it would do.

[SPEAKER_07]: I was listening to what you were, what you were describing with the movie standards. [SPEAKER_07]: You know, and I would love to see something like that with Fox News because in my opinion, I think Fox News has done more damage to America than some wars history. [SPEAKER_09]: Amen. [SPEAKER_09]: The propaganda of the right and propaganda of the far left. [SPEAKER_09]: Exactly, Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch have done more damage to the US than many foreign adversaries have.

[SPEAKER_09]: BDD, you are one hundred percent correct. [SPEAKER_11]: So that's, it should be a lie to call themselves news. [SPEAKER_09]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Showed you as right, too. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, we'll talk more about that. [SPEAKER_09]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: Say you can call whatever you want. [SPEAKER_09]: We'll talk about it more. [SPEAKER_09]: We've got one more round. [SPEAKER_09]: I know BDD is sticking out. [SPEAKER_09]: I don't even have to ask you.

[SPEAKER_09]: I know you're dancing. [SPEAKER_09]: He ain't taking his jacket, he ain't going, he ain't leaving yet. [SPEAKER_09]: Hopefully you are not leaving either Tuesday night with Jody and me and Brooklyn Dad to fight here at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_09]: Thank you very much for joining us. [SPEAKER_09]: Come on back one more round. [SPEAKER_09]: Last call on the Tuesday night. [SPEAKER_03]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.

[SPEAKER_09]: Tuesday nights here at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_09]: Let's call for alcohol. [SPEAKER_09]: How are you here? [SPEAKER_09]: No, sorry. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, we do have a little bit alcohol here. [SPEAKER_09]: We also have some dancing because the music is fun and no I am not going to break even though I am looking right at you.

[SPEAKER_09]: Brooklyn identified here with Jody Hamilton and these shots with beers on a Tuesday night y'all are wondering how I am able to keep my composure so well I have brothers who are eight and ten years younger than me and sister three years older so you learn you learn to keep composure at certain times like when you are reporting to your parents on things you are supposed to be doing and you know your mother is trying to find Tim Conway to try to break up so

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, well, yeah, but she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she

[SPEAKER_09]: I know, I was like, you know, I'm letting out. [SPEAKER_09]: I am liking nothing else that's on TV at this particular moment in the day. [SPEAKER_09]: And I wanted some background noise. [SPEAKER_09]: And so then I just, I was like, Oh, no, no, it was funny. [SPEAKER_09]: It was great. [SPEAKER_09]: I clicked to it there. [SPEAKER_09]: And then I had to shut it off because I was actually ending up watching that more than the stuff I was supposed to be working on.

[SPEAKER_09]: So I was like, you know, I was like, I'll have to help you. [SPEAKER_09]: You know, that I watched Carol and it was great. [SPEAKER_09]: So tell your mom, thank you, buddy. [SPEAKER_07]: the dentist's get on the calburned show where Tim Conway inadvertently a jab himself with the know-the-cane multiple times and Harvey is just completely lost it. [SPEAKER_07]: It was written well. [SPEAKER_11]: But it wasn't that funny.

[SPEAKER_11]: and so they shot it to the page for the dress rehearsal which was in front of one audience okay and so they would shoot [SPEAKER_11]: They would shoot the show twice on a Friday. [SPEAKER_11]: They would shoot it at five in the afternoon, be done at six, thirty, and then seven, thirty. [SPEAKER_11]: I think was the air show so they'd shoot that until about nine.

[SPEAKER_11]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: And that's usually when Tim would just go, he would just go to the director and say, I'm going to do this at this point. [SPEAKER_11]: I'm going to do that at that point. [SPEAKER_11]: Make sure that your cameras because it was a shot like a sports event. [SPEAKER_11]: Okay. [SPEAKER_02]: Right. [SPEAKER_11]: There was no ISO. [SPEAKER_11]: There was one thing. [SPEAKER_11]: It all fell into one tape.

[SPEAKER_11]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: Because, you know, this was, yeah, the dentist sketch was in the nineteen sixty seven or sixty eight. [SPEAKER_11]: And so basically, it was already funny, but then that's way Harvey broke because he had no idea. [SPEAKER_11]: He was going to do that to his leg and that's his arm and, you know, he had no clue. [SPEAKER_09]: And so the reactions were real. [SPEAKER_11]: Genuinely real. [SPEAKER_09]: That's funny. [SPEAKER_09]: That's hilarious.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: That is always good. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, we do. [SPEAKER_09]: We did. [SPEAKER_09]: You pointed out. [SPEAKER_09]: So getting back to the news on tap. [SPEAKER_09]: It is actually kind of goes along this because we were laughing at this here in the break as well. [SPEAKER_09]: Brooklyn dad defined does have a very good piece up at defined dispatches. [SPEAKER_09]: His sub stack called is Trump finally gone. [SPEAKER_09]: Why we're secretly cheering.

[SPEAKER_09]: We've got that linked in the guess section of the news on tap today. [SPEAKER_09]: But so Donnie did a little. [SPEAKER_09]: What were you calling earlier, Jody, a proof of life? [SPEAKER_09]: kind of a thing. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it was exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: And Steve Dushi or not, pardon me, that's Steve Peter, the younger, he's more Dushi. [SPEAKER_09]: He kind of gave Trump the softball here during his proof of life, presser earlier today.

[SPEAKER_09]: And BDD, you caught this here. [SPEAKER_09]: I got it up in the DVR. [SPEAKER_00]: But a big viral social media trend over the weekend. [SPEAKER_00]: How did you find out [SPEAKER_00]: people in C for a couple days one point three million user engagement says of Saturday morning about your demise.

[SPEAKER_06]: Now here I'm stopping a second because he said Peter said did you see that and he said no okay okay here let me play the rest you know it's sort of crazy but last week I did numerous news conferences all successful they went very well like this is going very well and then [SPEAKER_06]: I didn't do any for two days, and they said, there must be something wrong with him. [SPEAKER_06]: Biden wouldn't do him for months. [SPEAKER_06]: You wouldn't say him.

[SPEAKER_06]: And nobody ever said there was ever anything wrong with him, and we know he wasn't in the greatest of shape. [SPEAKER_06]: No, I heard that. [SPEAKER_11]: First off, did you see Biden over the weekend? [SPEAKER_11]: Amazing shape. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I'm having a high screen and you know, perfectly fine. [SPEAKER_09]: And here's here's the difference. [SPEAKER_09]: Twenty seconds between the time when Donald Trump said, no, I didn't see that.

[SPEAKER_09]: And the time that he said, yeah, I saw that. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, twenty seconds. [SPEAKER_07]: The reason I didn't just catch that Sean, I was watching it live and screaming because. [SPEAKER_07]: Understandably because the way do see framed it, it allowed him to a escape answering. [SPEAKER_07]: direct questions about his own frail fragile health.

[SPEAKER_07]: Number one, number two, it allowed him to like to jujitsu the thing and flipping on to Biden and make it seem like oh, Biden was so frail he hasn't didn't didn't do one in four years. [SPEAKER_07]: Which we all know was garbage. [SPEAKER_07]: And then three. [SPEAKER_07]: one reporter, followed up. [SPEAKER_07]: Not one reporter asked about the bruises on his hands, the cancels. [SPEAKER_09]: They got it, but he thinks he's missing.

[SPEAKER_09]: You know, you got to remember that most of the press corps now, especially when there's, when there are these limited oval office kind of a thing. [SPEAKER_09]: So what, what, but some people understand. [SPEAKER_09]: And well, we'll talk to Jared Rizzi about this who, you know, he's for White House press reporter. [SPEAKER_09]: He'll be in Thursday. [SPEAKER_09]: I think we have him this week. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, you do.

[SPEAKER_09]: Um, here's the thing, when you do a press availability that's in the White House press room, you have, what is it? [SPEAKER_09]: You have a bunch of seats. [SPEAKER_09]: You have a ton of seats, tens of seats, lots of different organizations there. [SPEAKER_09]: When you do a press availability that's in the Oval Office, small. [SPEAKER_09]: It is very small. [SPEAKER_09]: It's often handpicked. [SPEAKER_09]: Maybe maybe just one maybe three, four, five, six.

[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, I saw the press release. [SPEAKER_11]: They didn't get the AP in there and there was somebody from like CNBC and maybe somebody from NBC, but that was. [SPEAKER_09]: But here's the thing, especially because they know these days. [SPEAKER_09]: that if they say something that upsets Trump for whatever reason, if he says the sky is red with purple flex and they say, sir, we can see at the window behind you and it's blue and that and it makes Trump have a tantrum.

[SPEAKER_09]: They're gone. [SPEAKER_09]: They're the media will be poof gone. [SPEAKER_09]: So the fact that some of these reports and that that has been the whole purpose of Donald Trump and BS Barbie and all these dumbasses trying to limit the press thing is because when something like this happens, they don't say that the emperor doesn't have any clothes.

[SPEAKER_09]: Because if you say the Emperor doesn't have any clothes, you will be relegated to not being able to cover it, which as far as I'm concerned, J. Rose and Professor J. Rose and is one of the best. [SPEAKER_09]: And he said this early on. [SPEAKER_09]: He said there is no reason to send any good journalists to the White House press room anymore.

[SPEAKER_09]: Send the damn interns because the fact of the matter is A. [SPEAKER_09]: If you send an intern and they do something bad and the intern gets banned, they're an intern. [SPEAKER_09]: Have them do something somewhere else. [SPEAKER_09]: It's not going to be like, and that can be your excuse. [SPEAKER_09]: Just like there are a lot of people in the DC area here who drive around with these student driver stickers on their cars and then it actually student drivers.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it's it's oops, dumbass didn't know. [SPEAKER_09]: So that's one of the things. [SPEAKER_09]: But the other reason is if you have good journalists, they're going to go out and they're going to find other stories. [SPEAKER_09]: They're going to find facts. [SPEAKER_09]: They're going to look at these things. [SPEAKER_09]: They're going to actually find real journalism because you ain't going to get any of that from the press room at the White House.

[SPEAKER_07]: And the irritating thing is that they're choosing to protect their access over choosing to protect the integrity of what they do, what they're supposed to do, at least. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: No. [SPEAKER_09]: And that's something I've screamed about for years. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, you can't worry about the access. [SPEAKER_09]: You have to do your damn job, right?

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Jodi, in all the times that, I mean, you've told me a number of stories and all the times that you've been a PA that you've worked on TV and movies and been a producer and that kind of thing. [SPEAKER_09]: If you have the decision over whether to keep doing your job or even if it's the people who hired you and say, you know, they're telling you, hey, let's do this thing that's inappropriate or illegal. [SPEAKER_09]: Do you keep doing your job or do you do?

[SPEAKER_11]: No, I was on a set of while ago when they offered me beer. [SPEAKER_09]: The people who actually were running the set and you were like, no, thank you. [SPEAKER_11]: I'm like, I'm working. [SPEAKER_11]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_09]: You didn't you didn't say that you're working for you who are offering you the beer, but you did literally was like, no, no, come sit and have. [SPEAKER_11]: I'm like, I'm working. [SPEAKER_11]: I was just asking you if we could get a third meal.

[SPEAKER_11]: That's integrity. [SPEAKER_09]: That's integrity. [SPEAKER_09]: Doing the right thing when nobody is looking is integrity. [SPEAKER_09]: That's what everybody who was involved in journals. [SPEAKER_09]: And quite frankly, we were talking earlier about how the industry should be setting things up.

[SPEAKER_09]: There are a lot of people, especially in the media industry, especially people who've been there a long time, who when you talk about regulating self-regulating the industry for integrity and ethics, [SPEAKER_09]: who, they act as though you, you know, sprayed their crotch with, you know, some type of fire retardant. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh my God. [SPEAKER_09]: They're here on fire.

[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, because they're like, well, first amendment, the first amendment is nothing to do with it. [SPEAKER_09]: What you're dealing with is right now people, people don't believe in the American dream and people do not believe in the American media. [SPEAKER_09]: They do not believe in news media is worth a damn. [SPEAKER_11]: True. [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_11]: And twenty five years at least. [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[SPEAKER_09]: But if you wanted it, how was the movie industry perceived in the nineteen, what's seventies when they really started changing things around and putting those labels and how was the movie industry perceived, Jodie? [SPEAKER_11]: People did not like that. [SPEAKER_11]: Some of them that worked in the industry. [SPEAKER_11]: They were very upset about it. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: But how did the public perceive the movie industry?

[SPEAKER_11]: I think they were okay with it. [SPEAKER_11]: But they were against the PMRC. [SPEAKER_11]: Now remember that. [SPEAKER_09]: Right, right, but they were also a lot of people looked at the movie industry as kind of sleazy. [SPEAKER_09]: They looked at it as sleazy. [SPEAKER_09]: They couldn't entirely be trusted, especially when you were trying to put out PR for a movie and they're like, they're going to say it's this and then it was that they didn't trust the industry as a whole.

[SPEAKER_09]: And now they trust the industry because the industry decided to self regulate for integrity so that they could sell more tickets so that they could produce and create more movies so that the audiences who wanted to see the stuff that they were putting out there would be able to find this stuff that they're putting out there. [SPEAKER_07]: I would love to see a stick channels like CNN and MSNBC.

[SPEAKER_07]: I would love to see them put up chirones and graphics to like live during these press briefings to say the president's claim that he ended seven wars is false. [SPEAKER_07]: president's claim that the gas is a dollar ninety nine in certain states is false. [SPEAKER_09]: I think they need to do it all the time.

[SPEAKER_09]: They have to do it all because that's the job and I know that there are people who are in our industry and the news and journalism industry who say, but you can't know, but in fact, that is your job. [SPEAKER_09]: That's right. [SPEAKER_09]: Your job is to tell the truth and to protect the truth and to promote the truth. [SPEAKER_09]: Your job is not to have the access.

[SPEAKER_09]: And if you are sacrificing access, if you're sacrificing truth for access, then you need to get the hell out of the business. [SPEAKER_09]: And that's been my position for a long time, but I think a lot more people are starting to come around to it. [SPEAKER_09]: And they're coming around to it in part because they're comparing things like the movie industry.

[SPEAKER_09]: And for those of you who, you know, are older or for those of you who are younger, you can ask some of the folks who are older. [SPEAKER_09]: They can confirm what we're saying here that the movie industry was not well respected. [SPEAKER_09]: Now the movie industry is a lot more respected and they respected because they decided to clean up their act and self-regulate properly.

[SPEAKER_11]: But they also had censorship from the government prior to self-sensoring and getting the ratings. [SPEAKER_09]: and the way that they were able to get rid of the rate, the censorship from the government was to do it properly themselves to say and doing things the right way is actually benefit, not a detriment. [SPEAKER_09]: All right, it's Tuesday and I, BDD, I know we don't usually get here, get you here on a Tuesday.

[SPEAKER_09]: It is the end of the evening, but as we're cleaning up here, you want to hang around a little bit and we'll clean a couple other questions that we've got out there. [SPEAKER_09]: Sure thing. [SPEAKER_09]: Cool. [SPEAKER_09]: All right, look. [SPEAKER_09]: For those of you who are listening in the podcast or listening on any of our radio affiliates, don't worry about it. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, you can go to the politicsbar.com later and check out the after hours.

[SPEAKER_09]: We'll leave it up there for you for free. [SPEAKER_09]: And then you can check that out. [SPEAKER_09]: BDD, thank you as always for coming in. [SPEAKER_09]: Even if it is on a Tuesday and on a Monday, like usual. [SPEAKER_09]: I know it's my pleasure. [SPEAKER_09]: Jody, who do we have tomorrow? [SPEAKER_11]: We have the lovely and talented Bob Cesca. [SPEAKER_09]: Bob Cesca, heck yeah, absolutely idea of a pop Bob. [SPEAKER_09]: Whoa. [SPEAKER_09]: He'll be here tomorrow.

[SPEAKER_09]: We want to see you here tomorrow as well. [SPEAKER_09]: Come back tomorrow night here to the politics bar.
