[SPEAKER_03]: He said, Mika and Joe are wired a bit too tightly on politics. [SPEAKER_03]: And they said, you remember when Steph and Mika were talking and they almost came to blows. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that anyway.

[SPEAKER_03]: He also said, if Trump had nothing to do with Epstein, how does helping Maxwell make Trump look less guilty? [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, what he, he pulls right and Paul, I've got him on scholarship and on Tom show, Tom Hartman's program. [SPEAKER_08]: And he's right, obviously. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: And of course he said the other thing he said, if we were actually being invaded as some Republicans are saying, why hasn't Congress got involved? [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you're right Paul. [SPEAKER_03]: Just say we get a double ding today. [SPEAKER_03]: Heather and Michigan. [SPEAKER_03]: By the way, she she called in and she said I don't have the Jersey voice, but she just wanted to say KKK Caroline is a whoa. [SPEAKER_08]: She is a whoa. [SPEAKER_03]: She is a whoa, thank you. [SPEAKER_03]: It's thirty four after yet. [SPEAKER_03]: It's not actually thirty four after, but yes.

[SPEAKER_03]: Last check as far as I know, she's still fighting cancer. [SPEAKER_03]: It's fights still going on. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: So, uh, you know, look, if you're not still subscribed to Randy's, you know, socials, you should go do that too because she's a friend. [SPEAKER_03]: You know, Randy, Steph, Bob Cesca, Tom Hartman, you know, get your stuff connected in all those socials. [SPEAKER_03]: Um, Allen's. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm sure you listen to the Bob Cesca show.

[SPEAKER_03]: We appreciate that. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm going to I'm going to text him over the weekend. [SPEAKER_03]: Alan reached out to us. [SPEAKER_03]: Julie reached out to us had via substax.

[SPEAKER_03]: She said she's very glad to see Dems finally fighting as we should be and that brings us to the first big story of the news on Taffer today. [SPEAKER_03]: Governor Gavin Newsome. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, cheers to that. [SPEAKER_03]: Let's raise a glass to that man. [SPEAKER_03]: Hello, honestly, I've had my issues with him to be honest on certain things, but you know what, he is he is stepping up as far as this goes.

[SPEAKER_03]: Honestly, the presser went on little close to when we were getting into the bar last night so we didn't have time to get up all the cuts and stuff. [SPEAKER_03]: Honestly, here, let me, let me get to the DVR here because I think that there were a couple pieces that he really, God, he was really good about a couple of these things. [SPEAKER_03]: And he's great. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, he's really good at this. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, he's good.

[SPEAKER_03]: He laid out the stakes right here. [SPEAKER_03]: Here, let me play this for you. [SPEAKER_09]: They want to rig these elections. [SPEAKER_09]: and they want the power that Jeremy Annereen provides because they know what Donald Trump knows. [SPEAKER_09]: He's going to lose the midterms. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: He knows the fact of his presidency ends in seventeen months. [SPEAKER_09]: Let's speak to Jeffrey's husband. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: He knows it.

[SPEAKER_09]: Why else would you try to rig this system? [SPEAKER_09]: Why else would you make the phone call? [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: He's a failed president. [SPEAKER_09]: Who else sends ice? [SPEAKER_09]: Same time. [SPEAKER_09]: I have a conversation like this. [SPEAKER_09]: Someone is right. [SPEAKER_09]: Someone is broken. [SPEAKER_09]: Someone is weakness is masturbating his strength. [SPEAKER_09]: The most unpopular president in modern history.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yep. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: An economy that's collapsing all around him. [UNKNOWN]: Which sucks. [SPEAKER_09]: You know, the new wholesale price is going up almost a full percentage point today. [SPEAKER_09]: Inflation is going up. [SPEAKER_03]: Groceries up all the time. [SPEAKER_09]: Dog creation is going down.

[SPEAKER_09]: He's trying to rewrite history, Smithsonian, censoring historical facts, and in the spirit of what Adam Schiff said, he's trying to put America in reverse. [SPEAKER_09]: on voting rights, civil rights, LGBT, human rights, on women's rights. [SPEAKER_09]: You want to bring us back to a pre-nineteen sixties world. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh no, he wants to bring us to pre-Ateen sixties. [SPEAKER_03]: Jodie is right. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes, Jodie.

[SPEAKER_08]: They want, they don't want women about. [SPEAKER_08]: Pete Hegseth has a good friend that says women shouldn't vote. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh God, that whole thing. [SPEAKER_03]: He's got this, this, this, this, preacher that is at Heggsets, quote unquote church. [SPEAKER_03]: It's not a church. [SPEAKER_03]: It's a cult. [SPEAKER_06]: Yes. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, we, we really got to get, you know, I'm sorry, but if you, if you have a specific faith or religion, that's perfectly fine.

[SPEAKER_03]: But your religion does not belong in my politics. [SPEAKER_03]: That is why we have secular politics. [SPEAKER_08]: You know, get your religion out of my politics. [SPEAKER_08]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_03]: No, this is more like pure sodium and water. [SPEAKER_08]: What oil? [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, it's, you know, [SPEAKER_08]: They don't. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but if you if you know pure sodium and water, that's an explosive combination.

[SPEAKER_03]: And when you try to put you a religion in my in my secular politics, that's a problem. [SPEAKER_03]: And there's far more of us, especially on that issue than there are of you people who want a theocracy, you ain't going away on that folks. [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, there's a whole thing going on, but I'm not because they're not paying us so. [SPEAKER_03]: Now we will leave some of the business of the bar out of the public discussion.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's how that goes. [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, if you missed it, the board of the troll agents did show up outside of do some conference yesterday. [SPEAKER_03]: Look, there is a very specific thing. [SPEAKER_03]: And mate, they leaked a chart. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, this was political made a sound like, oh my god, somebody leaked a chart of California's research. [SPEAKER_03]: No, they did it on purpose. [SPEAKER_03]: You can find out exactly.

[SPEAKER_03]: Who's going to be targeted in which Republicans are going to lose their seats as a big. [SPEAKER_08]: It's a big tell. [SPEAKER_03]: It is a huge huge deal, but here's the thing. [SPEAKER_03]: This is not something contrary to what some of the folks political inclusion saying, Oh, California's don't want it. [SPEAKER_03]: California's do want it because they understand. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you're there, Jody, you're the California into the bar.

[SPEAKER_08]: And our governor is super duper popular as his lovely social media ladies telling us all the time. [SPEAKER_08]: I love her trolling everybody that's maga. [SPEAKER_08]: I think she's amazing. [SPEAKER_03]: Reminds me of Biden's old social media director who used to also be in New Jersey. [SPEAKER_03]: She's a Jersey girl. [SPEAKER_03]: She's fantastic. [SPEAKER_08]: But anyway, so no, he's a popular governor. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Gavin's popular, but also here's the deal.

[SPEAKER_03]: They're not getting rid of this fair redistricting forever. [SPEAKER_08]: No, it's a temporary issue until the rest of the country does the same thing. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: He explained it yesterday. [SPEAKER_03]: Here. [SPEAKER_03]: Let me lay it out morning. [SPEAKER_09]: And we'll be asking for the people on November fourth, a special election coinciding with a lot of local municipal elections to provide a temporary pathway temporary or congressional maps.

[SPEAKER_09]: We will affirm our commitment to the state independent redistricting after the twenty-thirty census. [SPEAKER_09]: But we're asking the voters for their consent to do midterm redistricting in twenty-twenty-six, twenty-twenty-eight in twenty-thirty for the congressional maps to respond to what's happening in Texas, to respond what Trump is trying to excite.

[SPEAKER_09]: And we'll do so in a way that also affirms our desire as a state to level the playing field all across the United States. [SPEAKER_09]: We believe in a national independent redistricting framework. [SPEAKER_09]: And we believe that's the right goal and the right thing to pursue. [SPEAKER_08]: That's the way to do it. [SPEAKER_08]: He's right. [SPEAKER_08]: And if they continue to do what they want to do, then California, Washington State, Illinois, New York, New Jersey.

[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, we can get way more than the fifteen offsets. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, I think if it's pushing that list that we had earlier in the week, and you can check that out. [SPEAKER_03]: From the earlier in the week archives in the news on tap the politics bar.com, I think it in the fifteen is I think probably a decent number. [SPEAKER_03]: But here's the deal. [SPEAKER_03]: Again, a, there's no guarantee that any of these seats in a lot of these places that we switch.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: There's no guarantee they're going to go democratic or Republican. [SPEAKER_03]: And that's the other thing. [SPEAKER_03]: Because of that PVI set up, there's especially in Texas. [SPEAKER_03]: Texas is the ones who are starting this. [SPEAKER_03]: And oh, yeah, that's also in the news on tap today. [SPEAKER_03]: So Texas Democrats got a win. [SPEAKER_03]: They got the first special session ended.

[SPEAKER_03]: Governor Abbott immediately called a second special session. [SPEAKER_03]: But Texas Democrats [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if Abbott and the Texas Republicans in their house, their State House will agree to it, but they said that they would start with flood relief. [SPEAKER_03]: They said they're still going to push for the change in seats, and that's fine.

[SPEAKER_03]: But any of the change in seats that they're going to do there is going to decrease Texas Republicans' chance to do this, and it's pissing off Texas Republicans. [SPEAKER_03]: And there are way more polls that say Republicans, independents, and Democrats in Texas across the line. [SPEAKER_03]: And especially if you add up Democrats, independence, and non-Trump Republicans in Texas, that's way more people if they come out and vote. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm looking at you, Texans.

[SPEAKER_03]: You got to get your asses out there and vote. [SPEAKER_03]: If that's the case and they do change these seats, those seats aren't guaranteed read by any stretch of the imagination and they shouldn't be. [SPEAKER_08]: No, and politicians should never be allowed to pick their voters. [SPEAKER_03]: Amen. [SPEAKER_08]: And that's why that's why my governor said, look, this is temporary. [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: We're just we're fighting fire with fire at this point.

[SPEAKER_08]: They were playing by their rules and they're so angry about it. [SPEAKER_08]: It's. [SPEAKER_03]: They are they are they are because [SPEAKER_03]: That's the thing. [SPEAKER_03]: With Maga Republicans with Trump Republicans, with Republicans in general, but especially the maggots, they really, really, really hate it. [SPEAKER_03]: When they have to play on a fair playing field, because they know they can't win. [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: They had the rip policies.

[SPEAKER_08]: They wouldn't have to gerrymander if people liked what they were selling. [SPEAKER_03]: Right, but they don't. [SPEAKER_08]: They would get voted in, which is why in California that has safe, it has a districts that are written nonpartisan like, which is why there's so few Republicans in our assembly and in the House of Representatives. [SPEAKER_03]: Right, there are there are areas of California. [SPEAKER_03]: Those of you don't know about there.

[SPEAKER_03]: There are areas of California. [SPEAKER_03]: There's super redding yet. [SPEAKER_03]: They oftentimes will still pick a Democratic house member Orange County voted for Hillary Clinton shockingly.

[SPEAKER_03]: an orange county for those of you who don't know in in California oftentimes people if they if they've lived there in the past they've said they live behind the orange curtain as opposed to the the iron curtain yeah so and and yet even then they vote for democrats because among other things they trust democrats and they can't trust republicans right and it's it's just if if we were super jerry mandered like everybody thinks we are then it would be fifty two seats

[SPEAKER_03]: even in those states that already are somewhat gerrymandered. [SPEAKER_03]: The problem, of course, is the problem that you're running into with Texas, which is you gerrymandered seats, so that you have safe seats for your opponent and lots more safe seats for you. [SPEAKER_03]: But you, there's a certain level beyond which it's like playing a pinball game. [SPEAKER_03]: You can, you can put a little English on the ball, but you throw that much weight into it.

[SPEAKER_03]: You want to tip the damn thing over. [SPEAKER_03]: It's called tilt. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you can't do that. [SPEAKER_03]: Some governor have it don't seem to understand. [SPEAKER_03]: So we will all have to teach him. [SPEAKER_03]: Look, we got more things to talk about. [SPEAKER_03]: There is plenty more news on tap. [SPEAKER_03]: There's the drink of the day, Karen and Anita.

[SPEAKER_03]: One from Texas, one from Illinois, Democrats standing up and fighting in both those states this week. [SPEAKER_03]: We will talk about that with them a little bit later. [SPEAKER_03]: Get yourself a very nice drink. [SPEAKER_03]: Come on back. [SPEAKER_03]: We got lots more rounds tonight. [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you for being here with us. [SPEAKER_03]: Jody and me here at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_01]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.

[SPEAKER_05]: It is a Friday night. [SPEAKER_03]: Here at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you very much for coming and joining us at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_03]: We really enjoy it. [SPEAKER_03]: We really enjoy also when you subscribe to the podcast. [SPEAKER_03]: Look, we know you're listening on great radio stations across the country, but the thing is [SPEAKER_03]: It's helpful to have kind of a DVR for your radio, which is exactly what the podcast is.

[SPEAKER_03]: Plus, you got your phone sit right there. [SPEAKER_03]: So the easy thing to do is you grab your phone, you go to your podcast player, and you just type in the politics bar boom. [SPEAKER_03]: Free subscription, get you there. [SPEAKER_03]: Perfectly fine. [SPEAKER_03]: And hey, then you can re-listen. [SPEAKER_03]: So if there's anything you missed, maybe you drive in. [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe you, I don't know, gotta go through a stairwell and you don't get good signal.

[SPEAKER_03]: Very simple. [SPEAKER_03]: Just subscribe to the politics bar. [SPEAKER_03]: And make it happy. [SPEAKER_03]: Don't worry about it. [SPEAKER_03]: All right, it is Friday night. [SPEAKER_03]: Jody, we have some more stuff going on. [SPEAKER_03]: So by the way, the Texas Democrats have forgotten to mention this in the last segment. [SPEAKER_03]: They got a boost from former president Obama because he called them last night and said, thank you for fighting on this type of stuff.

[SPEAKER_03]: So [SPEAKER_03]: He is doing a little bit more like multiple people this week. [SPEAKER_08]: He's even chatting with Memdani in New York. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm glad that Obama's turn to step up. [SPEAKER_03]: I want Obama and I want, look, I want Bill and Hillary stuff. [SPEAKER_03]: There are some people who are like, oh, Bill, they don't like Bill, whatever.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, there are people in this country that you can't talk to that Bill Clinton can.

[SPEAKER_08]: exactly and the thing is is I have a friend of mine that is like oh the DNC screwed Bernie okay first off get over it they didn't and secondly and he thinks that they're gonna try to screw up Mam Danny and I'm like wait [SPEAKER_08]: the penultimate dnc guy is president obama and he and David Axelrod who is so milk toast and so middle of the road like he's like I'm good with mame Danny so I'm sorry, but the dnc and the powers that be in the democratic party are behind this guy

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, there are Democrats who are very uncomfortable with it in New York City, especially in they are known as oftentimes as corporate or Wall Street Democrats and they're very uncomfortable with a lot of things. [SPEAKER_03]: They are also uncomfortable with the reality that we have pushed things towards the corporates as much as it can be before the system breaks. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes, and then what I love about Mamdanne is and the fact that Obama's talking to him an axle rod.

[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, seriously, I love a lot of things about him. [SPEAKER_03]: Look, he's willing to try a whole bunch of stuff and he's willing to push through and and but he's going to do it within the laws and the rules unlike the crap that's going on with the occupation [SPEAKER_03]: of D.C. [SPEAKER_03]: So you saw this, I know I saw it too for those of you in the barham may not have seen this.

[SPEAKER_03]: So last night, Trump's attorney general Pam Bonny tried to name the head of the DEA as the Emergency Police Commissioner for Washington, D.C. [SPEAKER_03]: But thankfully D.C. [SPEAKER_03]: is elected leaders pushback. [SPEAKER_03]: Jared yesterday, remember told us that the mayor was she actually had just left [SPEAKER_03]: for an evening because she had to go up to, I believe her, her kid was at some camp in Martha's Vineyard. [SPEAKER_03]: So she went up to her kid came back.

[SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: That's, that makes sense. [SPEAKER_08]: And like a vacation. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: No, no, no. [SPEAKER_03]: She wasn't going on vacation. [SPEAKER_03]: She went because she's a single mom. [SPEAKER_03]: She went to go get her kid from camp. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, her kid happened to be a camp at Martha's Vineyard. [SPEAKER_03]: That's, yes, that's how that works. [SPEAKER_03]: Whatever. [SPEAKER_03]: People go to camp all over the place.

[SPEAKER_03]: But she went up, got a kid came back. [SPEAKER_03]: That's what that was about. [SPEAKER_03]: Anyway. [SPEAKER_03]: more importantly. [SPEAKER_03]: So Pam Bondi tries to name the head of the DEA as the police commissioner for all of DC. [SPEAKER_03]: This morning, DC attorney general sued to block Trump's hostile takeover of the DC police department. [SPEAKER_03]: And then as we were prepping for the show earlier this afternoon, there was a court case going on.

[SPEAKER_03]: And the judge was none too happy about this because long and short, this was boiling out to be. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, [SPEAKER_03]: Trump's DOJ comes and says well we can we can do this because we have the power to take over the police and she says okay specifically what do you want the police to do yeah [SPEAKER_03]: If you're going to take over the police as a whole, that means you need to take over all of the functions of the police. [SPEAKER_03]: Everything about that.

[SPEAKER_03]: That means you have to do to take care of staffing and shifting a shift changes and routes and locations, reporting for court issues. [SPEAKER_03]: This is something that a lot of people don't realize. [SPEAKER_03]: If there are minor court issues, for example, certain types of parking issues. [SPEAKER_08]: Or tickets, any kind of ticket. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: And they don't have a cop show up. [SPEAKER_03]: You win.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: The best thing is when a cop doesn't show up. [SPEAKER_03]: But they plan that. [SPEAKER_03]: Police departments actually have a set schedule. [SPEAKER_03]: And they will not send a cop to it because they're like, it's not worth it. [SPEAKER_03]: It costs X amount to send the cop to cost X amount for legal things. [SPEAKER_03]: It's not worth it. [SPEAKER_03]: Finally, we'll let the person win. [SPEAKER_05]: Right.

[SPEAKER_03]: People say, oh, I said, that is part of efficient governing is when you look and you say it's not the point, we, we take it to the person. [SPEAKER_08]: The time of the cop being off for two hours. [SPEAKER_03]: Right, right, it's, we need them somewhere else. [SPEAKER_03]: We need them doing something else. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: thing is if you're going to take over all of police department, you need to do that. [SPEAKER_03]: And this is what the judge was saying.

[SPEAKER_03]: And she said, if you if you want them to do specific things, then you need to be specific about what you want them to do and what what resources you need and how you want them at, which is normally what any normal White House were they to do the same thing were they to take over the DC police. [SPEAKER_03]: They would say we need X number of officers for X number of days for these locations for this purpose. [SPEAKER_03]: That's not what the Trump White House is doing.

[SPEAKER_03]: The Trump White House is saying, we're taking over for the stuff that we want, but not the stuff that we don't unless of course we do. [SPEAKER_08]: It's not how it works. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: That is. [SPEAKER_03]: wrong. [SPEAKER_08]: It's not how any of this works Donald. [SPEAKER_03]: It isn't. [SPEAKER_03]: It isn't because you don't get to. [SPEAKER_03]: I've I've managed lots of things in my fifty some odd years.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I have often had people who will want to come in and manage some of it. [SPEAKER_03]: Oftentimes, you know, executives and things. [SPEAKER_03]: One of the other reasons that I'm known as an a-holes, I don't really have a whole lot of fear of telling these people. [SPEAKER_03]: And I will say to him, you want to do this? [SPEAKER_03]: I have literally said to people who were my boss or my boss's boss.

[SPEAKER_03]: I have said, turned with a very quiet look and wide open eyes and said, you want to do this, but you want to shut up and let me do my job. [SPEAKER_03]: And people get really, yeah, you're very surprised that too. [SPEAKER_03]: Because they couldn't count their eyeballs and get the same number twice when it comes to doing the job that I do. [SPEAKER_03]: And you here in the bar, you guys know that too. [SPEAKER_03]: You work your asses off.

[SPEAKER_03]: Most of your bosses and especially your bosses bosses wouldn't know what the hell to do if they were in your position. [SPEAKER_03]: They don't know. [SPEAKER_08]: I think that's what undercover boss was a hit show. [SPEAKER_03]: It was. [SPEAKER_08]: It was because realizes wait. [SPEAKER_08]: What? [SPEAKER_03]: I've always made it my job as a boss, when I am a boss, when I'm a manager, when I'm responsible is how I like to say it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Because, you know, people say, oh, you're a boss. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm thinking, no, I'm responsible. [SPEAKER_03]: Just means the buck stops with me. [SPEAKER_03]: When I'm responsible over a group of people, I like to make sure that if I don't know how to do everything they can do or at least do the majority of the major things that they can do, I at least understand what they're doing. [SPEAKER_03]: I do that.

[SPEAKER_03]: So among other things, if things are flying around and somebody says, hey, dank, dank, dank, they use shorthand. [SPEAKER_03]: And I go, fine, I know what you're doing now. [SPEAKER_03]: And I go on to the next thing. [SPEAKER_03]: I am aware of what the people in my orbiter are doing. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, absolutely. [SPEAKER_08]: The first movie that I produce, which is called Defying the Stars, it's on the YouTube's.

[SPEAKER_08]: It's a forty minute short that the first movie, my sister directed. [SPEAKER_08]: And I was the default producer. [SPEAKER_08]: because the guys that we wanted got work and got money. [SPEAKER_08]: So I'm like, okay, now I have to learn how to do this. [SPEAKER_08]: This is twenty six years ago. [SPEAKER_08]: And so what happened was we, my sister and our DP and I hired all the right people. [SPEAKER_08]: to know what they were doing.

[SPEAKER_08]: And at one point though, this, the one that Carrie loved, who she hired as an AD, the AD, didn't know how to hate. [SPEAKER_08]: He was a director, but not an AD, which is a production job, by the way. [SPEAKER_08]: It's in the director's guild, but it's a production job. [SPEAKER_03]: Assistant director, but for those of you don't know AD, yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: It's a production job. [SPEAKER_08]: It's both. [SPEAKER_08]: It's mainly a production job.

[SPEAKER_08]: And the first day of shooting, I'm literally getting breakfast for the crew. [SPEAKER_08]: Okay. [SPEAKER_08]: I've ordered, because I asked my DPS, like, what? [SPEAKER_08]: You guys just go to McDonald's and get a bunch of pancakes and stuff. [SPEAKER_08]: So I'm literally buying food for like, sixty people. [SPEAKER_08]: And they get a phone call. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, we push the call time. [SPEAKER_08]: When did you do that? [SPEAKER_08]: He goes last night.

[SPEAKER_08]: I'm like, why didn't you let me know last night? [SPEAKER_08]: Because I'm in the drive through and I'm sure other people now are work because call time is in like twenty five minutes because well, I didn't want to wake you. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm like, that's not how that works. [SPEAKER_08]: You can wake up anybody if you pushing the call time. [SPEAKER_08]: And so I said to my sister, I said, he can't [SPEAKER_03]: Do the job, right?

[SPEAKER_03]: And you have to make those kind of calls. [SPEAKER_03]: When you're somebody who has that kind of thing, you have to make the calls. [SPEAKER_03]: So if you're going to take over responsibility for everything as the Trump regime thinks they want to do with the DC police. [SPEAKER_03]: So I haven't caught yet. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think you have either what happened.

[SPEAKER_03]: We were kind of following Annabauer over at law fair as she was posting on Blue Sky about it and other social media too. [SPEAKER_03]: But the long and short is [SPEAKER_03]: This is not uncommon. [SPEAKER_03]: This is the kind of thing that Trump did under his first regime. [SPEAKER_03]: This is the kind of thing that they've done.

[SPEAKER_03]: This goes along with the sloppy half-ass way that they have Trump meeting his boss in Alaska today, which they might be done by now, depending on when you're listening to this. [SPEAKER_03]: Obviously if you're listening tomorrow, they're done with this. [SPEAKER_03]: But so check this on a normal meeting when you're meeting with a big foreign leader.

[SPEAKER_03]: You have, obviously, your secretary of states, or if it's another country, you're foreign minister, you have, usually something else, especially if it's a hostile country. [SPEAKER_03]: You have, for example, you would have the secretary of defense, you would have intelligence people. [SPEAKER_03]: Here's who Trump had with his meeting with his boss, Flattie Putin today. [SPEAKER_03]: Trump had commerce secretary Nutley, I mean, a lot of Nick.

[SPEAKER_08]: What the hell was he doing there? [SPEAKER_03]: Treasury Secretary Basant. [SPEAKER_08]: Why was he there? [SPEAKER_03]: Because there are sources that are saying that Trump and Putin are talking about business. [SPEAKER_03]: And also talking about how they can cut up business with Ukraine. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: Europe is not going to be happy about that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, and, and Trump has been all wishy-washy and what he's going to allow Ukraine and the EU are very, very firm on what they're going to allow, which is nothing. [SPEAKER_03]: Putin will get nothing. [SPEAKER_03]: You will get nothing. [SPEAKER_08]: You get nothing. [SPEAKER_08]: The day, sir. [SPEAKER_03]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: Bingo. [SPEAKER_03]: Jody is right. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, that's not allowed, but still. [SPEAKER_03]: Well. [SPEAKER_03]: I loved Gene Wilde.

[SPEAKER_03]: He was great when I figured out. [SPEAKER_03]: But Trump did bring along Rubio, which he drags him along, like, I don't know, like, like, toilet paper on his shoe. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you know, puppy at least you might want to feed. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, Donald doesn't like dogs. [SPEAKER_08]: So there's that. [SPEAKER_03]: And he doesn't like Rubio that much either.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: He else brought along CIA director Racklift, but he else brought along special envoy Steve Whitkoff, which Whitkoff basically seems to be Trump's everything guy. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, he is. [SPEAKER_03]: I send them everywhere. [SPEAKER_03]: In fact, it went off as met five times with Putin might be something, but whatever. [SPEAKER_08]: And they have taken his phone and they have cloned it and they're taking everything that he's doing.

[SPEAKER_03]: Putin brought along a finance minister, Anton Silliana, who's been with him since twenty eleven, foreign policy adviser Ushikov, who's been with Putin since [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, and of course, he brought along Lavrov. [SPEAKER_03]: They're foreign affairs minister, the equivalent to our Secretary of State. [SPEAKER_03]: Did you hear with Lavrov war this morning? [SPEAKER_08]: No, I did not. [SPEAKER_03]: Lavrov used to be KGB.

[SPEAKER_03]: Lavrov has never, as far as I'm concerned, probably ever really left the KGB. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm Putin KGB. [SPEAKER_03]: He left Lavrov walked into some of the stuff this morning with his coat open wearing a USSR t-shirt. [SPEAKER_08]: Wow. [SPEAKER_08]: That's super old school. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, that's Lavrov. [SPEAKER_08]: Wow. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's and and very very clearly basically saying yeah, we want to bring back the Russian Empire. [SPEAKER_08]: We want to get to Soviet Union, not even just the Russian Empire. [SPEAKER_08]: It's a Soviet Union. [SPEAKER_03]: True. [SPEAKER_03]: True. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: That's Lavrov is a real piece of work.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so that's that's yeah, something they're going this has not been serious and we won't know a hundred percent of what's going on with We're not going to know what's going on until Probably tomorrow the next day and even then there's going to be stuff.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure that we aren't going to know about what's happening what what happens or what is happening as far as the the Trump Putin meeting which we're not going to know so [SPEAKER_03]: Joe, he's looking at me strangely. [SPEAKER_08]: I am a Carlos just sent me a text. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_08]: He said, how came Jeffries again, declines to endorse Mamdoni.

[SPEAKER_08]: He's going to have to demonstrate a broader to a broader electorate, including many of the neighborhoods that I represent in Brooklyn. [SPEAKER_08]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: There's some, there is some, some intra-New York politics involved. [SPEAKER_03]: Like there, I don't care whether you happen to be in a small town in the Midwest, whether you are in LA or New York. [SPEAKER_03]: There's always somebody who's a little petty.

[SPEAKER_08]: I think how Kim is concerned because of his district. [SPEAKER_08]: But again, I think he just needs to talk to him, I'm Danny, and then he'll be on board. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I would hope so. [SPEAKER_03]: I would hope that that Hakeem is reading the room. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because this this type of of interparty crap is not except. [SPEAKER_08]: No, it's not it's not at all. [SPEAKER_08]: And no, no, it's it's I love Hakeem Jeffries.

[SPEAKER_08]: I look forward to him being our speaker. [SPEAKER_03]: If that's who they choose remember that is that is up to them the house whoever they they choose I like Jeffries, but I think he'd be great. [SPEAKER_03]: He's no I think I think it'd be fine.

[SPEAKER_03]: He's going to see but right Yes, she's amazing, but look if if he wants to be that petty, you know, I've got I always tell people you know, I just need to talk to our former president exactly exactly that's all [SPEAKER_03]: No, it's right. [SPEAKER_03]: And then Obama will tell him, look, you know what? [SPEAKER_00]: You know. [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: We have more news on tap. [SPEAKER_03]: We have the drink of the day coming.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think we will do that next. [SPEAKER_03]: We have Karen and Anita of True Blue politics as well. [SPEAKER_03]: And we got you. [SPEAKER_03]: It's a Friday night. [SPEAKER_03]: Here at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you very much for hanging out with us. [SPEAKER_03]: We'll be right back. [SPEAKER_01]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_03]: It's a Friday night here at the politics bar.

[SPEAKER_03]: We are very, very glad that you are hanging out with us. [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you very much for coming to the bar and spending some time with us. [SPEAKER_03]: Remember, you can always call us on the bar line as well. [SPEAKER_03]: The bar phone, two on three, six, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven.

[SPEAKER_03]: There are some fun numbers out there. [SPEAKER_03]: Fun phone numbers that you can look for. [SPEAKER_03]: That's why we have the two one three six seven seven salt number. [SPEAKER_03]: I have I have seen some interesting ones that have got what was it. [SPEAKER_03]: One of the radio stations I worked at had sex toy. [SPEAKER_03]: I believe as a number that they had gotten it was an eight eight eight eight number.

[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I told you that the first phone number that we got when my sister turned eleven, my parents were like, you can have a phone when you turn eleven. [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. [SPEAKER_08]: So we got the phone. [SPEAKER_08]: My sister carry got the phone. [SPEAKER_08]: And the phone number was two, one, three, five, five, zero, seven, six, six, two and seven, six, six, two, spell, snob.

[SPEAKER_03]: Look, there are a lot of ways that there are a lot of fun things you can do with those kinds of numbers. [SPEAKER_03]: But these days, getting those numbers is usually a little expensive. [SPEAKER_03]: So kind of a bummer that way. [SPEAKER_03]: But anyway, well, we did have somebody leave us a message last night, Daisy. [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you, Daisy. [SPEAKER_03]: Sure, the bar here. [SPEAKER_03]: She says, yes, cute, kitty.

[SPEAKER_03]: Although I think she probably predates your kitty. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just, you know, she's human versus kitty out. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, my cat's only sushi is so probably. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yep.

[SPEAKER_03]: uh... a days he said i think the thing that mangle moose lini hates most about gavin to some right now is not that news him is actually doing something to stand up to trump but that news him is so chill at telegenic doing it it's killing trump that news him looks like he's from quote and quote central cast oh my god i mean trump would love him if he were republican [SPEAKER_03]: because, you know, he looks fantastic.

[SPEAKER_03]: I, you know, and there are, there are Democrats who, and I look, I've met Gavin, I've told you number of times his eyes aren't in, in same blue as you know, but [SPEAKER_03]: Pretty people sometimes. [SPEAKER_03]: People who are really, really, really pretty. [SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes know it. [SPEAKER_03]: A lot of them know it. [SPEAKER_03]: Most of them know it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: But there are certain things where there are certain things with those kind of people that I'm always like, it's harder for me to trust somebody who is ultra pretty than it is if they are just playing or even ugly. [SPEAKER_03]: Because the rest of us who are not the rest of us who are, you know, we clean up good. [SPEAKER_03]: You and I clean up good. [SPEAKER_03]: We're not, you know, okay. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think you clean up great.

[SPEAKER_03]: You guys can check that movie out from a couple of Fridays ago. [SPEAKER_03]: We have then to be like, hello. [SPEAKER_03]: You'd be like, hello. [SPEAKER_03]: That's nice. [SPEAKER_03]: Hello. [SPEAKER_08]: Nice. [SPEAKER_08]: Anyway. [SPEAKER_03]: But look, I mean, you know, everybody knows, look, everybody here in the bar, most of us are that way.

[SPEAKER_03]: You just, you know, it's not that big, but there are some people who, when they're that pretty, and they know they can get a lot of things in life. [SPEAKER_03]: You're like, really? [SPEAKER_03]: But Newsom has, as a politician, done a lot of things he didn't necessarily have to do.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I think that is oftentimes what characterizes Democrats is, [SPEAKER_03]: Democrats do stuff they don't have to do for people that they won't even necessarily meet or if they meet them they're not you know it's that they do stuff for the people that need to the things need to be done and it they won't get anything out of it personally on that's that's that's very different these days I've I've said and this this angers some folks who are militantly atheist

[SPEAKER_03]: Where I say that the modern democratic motto, I mean, we talked about this. [SPEAKER_03]: We talked about this a couple times this week. [SPEAKER_03]: The modern Republican motto is five words. [SPEAKER_03]: I've got mine FU. [SPEAKER_03]: That's what Republicans think. [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm sorry if you're a non-Trump Republican, you probably still are think a little bit that way, because you're always worried about what somebody else is going to get.

[SPEAKER_03]: which is ridiculous. [SPEAKER_03]: The modern democratic motto is really somewhat biblical. [SPEAKER_03]: It is there, but for the grace of God, go on. [SPEAKER_03]: And that's that's why the militant atheists on who I said that to really hate that.

[SPEAKER_03]: But a lot of Democrats, they say, you want to get stuff fixed with the government so that if and when it is you who is homeless, who needs help, who needs social security, who needs Medicare and Medicaid and the ACA, who needs the National Guard to come help them out of a flood or with a tornado or a fire or an earthquake. [SPEAKER_03]: that you say, I want FEMA to be ready. [SPEAKER_03]: I want the guard to be ready.

[SPEAKER_03]: I want I want to have the National Weather Service have everything that they need to protect us from hurricanes like Erin who is she's not coming right up. [SPEAKER_03]: She's not going to make landfall. [SPEAKER_03]: She's going to Bahamas, but still. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's just it. [SPEAKER_03]: Democrats in general say, because you know what? [SPEAKER_03]: But for, but for an error, it could be us that's on the streets.

[SPEAKER_03]: It could be us who's significant other passes away. [SPEAKER_03]: It could be us who's kid gets shot. [SPEAKER_03]: It could be us who it could be us who. [SPEAKER_03]: So there, but for the grace of God, go I. He's really how the Democratic motto is these days. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to say there aren't some Democrats. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to say there aren't some independence.

[SPEAKER_03]: Independence do not have some kind of a halo because well, I'm not in one of the major parties. [SPEAKER_03]: There are corrupt independence to there are corrupt people in from every political background. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, big time big time. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Putin's friend one of his girlfriends. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but the fact of the matter is [SPEAKER_03]: Most of the Democratic Party is there to try to help you out. [SPEAKER_03]: That's just how that works.

[SPEAKER_08]: I'm with you on that. [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, I have some purest friends. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm really tired of it. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm really, I'm really, I'm tired of it. [SPEAKER_08]: It's like, okay, democracy or fascism. [SPEAKER_08]: Pick one.

[SPEAKER_03]: right right and you only get the one choice it's it's look we have choices ready is to say this all the time it should be glad yes we we're in a flawed democracy but be glad that we have a choice because when you're in a dictatorship there's only one choice whatever the dictator tells you it is [SPEAKER_08]: Well, I mean, she used to say, you know, you fall in love in the primary. [SPEAKER_03]: I love that you remember that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I couldn't remember that early in this week. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, fall in love in the primary. [SPEAKER_08]: And then you fall in line. [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, that's what she said and she is brilliant for that. [SPEAKER_03]: Just giving you some advice, uh, Mr. Jefferies. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: He's one of the nomination. [SPEAKER_03]: Fall in line. [UNKNOWN]: God. [SPEAKER_03]: Amen to that.

[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, he's not going to vote for Eric Adams and he's not going to vote for Andrew Cuomo. [SPEAKER_03]: So no, no, no. [SPEAKER_03]: No, no. [SPEAKER_03]: No, no. [SPEAKER_08]: He doesn't live in the city. [SPEAKER_08]: So. [SPEAKER_08]: But he actually lives in New York City. [SPEAKER_08]: So it's okay. [SPEAKER_08]: Jeffries does live in the city, but he won the nomination buddy. [SPEAKER_08]: You're gonna vote for Eric Adams again. [SPEAKER_08]: We were all there by him.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, and I don't think everybody was do it by him, but at the same time when Adams won the primary last time and he ran as a Democrat, that was a choice. [SPEAKER_03]: That was the choice. [SPEAKER_03]: And look, you have you have different subgroups in New York City that there aren't mainstream parties, but so you can run on different battle lines. [SPEAKER_03]: We've talked about that before too. [SPEAKER_03]: Working families party. [SPEAKER_03]: I have a friend, hello, Sarah.

[SPEAKER_03]: I have a friend who she works for them. [SPEAKER_03]: The fact of the matter is, [SPEAKER_03]: You're still probably going to end up with one of the people from the big parties because that's just how that works. [SPEAKER_08]: There's money involved in it. [SPEAKER_03]: And yes, we'd all all of us all of us good folks would like to get the money out of politics. [SPEAKER_08]: Um, and find gold tried and that kind of returned.

[SPEAKER_03]: Look, we've, we've tried to get money out of politics multiple times. [SPEAKER_03]: What we tried about a hundred and twenty some odd years ago or so, Teddy Roosevelt tried. [SPEAKER_08]: He tried. [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, we've all been trying it. [SPEAKER_08]: It's just the Supreme Court keeps going, no, money is cool. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, and and the fact of the matter is that we have to go back and revisit some of these things.

[SPEAKER_03]: We've got to go back and revisit some of those horrible decisions. [SPEAKER_03]: We need a better bigger Supreme Court. [SPEAKER_03]: I've I've advocated for rule of eighteen as you know. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm I'm about thirteen on the court and with term limits eventually. [SPEAKER_08]: I still said. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, you want term limits on the Supreme Court, but not on the Congress. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm like it's called elections. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[SPEAKER_03]: And look, the difference for that is we can do, we can first of all, people who say you can't do terminal limits, you can do terminal limits in the Supreme Court very easily. [SPEAKER_03]: And constitutional scholars Lawrence Tribe has talked about this for years now. [SPEAKER_03]: There is nothing that says that you cannot take somebody who is on the Supreme Court and move them to somewhere else on the federal bench.

[SPEAKER_03]: When you're Supreme Court judge, you are a federal judge, but it doesn't mean that you will get to be Supreme Court judge forever. [SPEAKER_08]: You can, you're just a judge for life. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, that, that you are. [SPEAKER_03]: You are a federal judge until you retire until you decide to retire or die. [SPEAKER_08]: That's fine, but you don't have to be on the Supreme Court forever. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: You can be moved down. [SPEAKER_08]: So now round.

[SPEAKER_03]: And that's part of the reason, too. [SPEAKER_03]: Why I say, eighteen is opposed to thirteen. [SPEAKER_03]: First of all, a lot of people don't realize how many cases there are backed up. [SPEAKER_03]: We've needed, we've needed a lot more house members. [SPEAKER_03]: Let's go with nineteen. [SPEAKER_08]: So it's uneven.

[SPEAKER_03]: I like it if it's eighteen just because then it divides evenly by three and then I think each course each each case should still be heard by nine with a possibility for on-bank. [SPEAKER_03]: That's why I like the rule of eighteen. [SPEAKER_03]: The rule of eighteen says you have six each and I know God who are we talking to. [SPEAKER_03]: Barb was it Barb or was it um Harry? [SPEAKER_03]: I think it was Harry. [SPEAKER_08]: It was the lawyers.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was just like yeah that they're they're all like how would you decide and the thing is [SPEAKER_03]: I bet we could get Harry and Glenn and Barb all in here and they could tell you whether a judge is left right or center.

[SPEAKER_03]: They don't necessarily want to do it publicly and I'm not asking them to, but I do think that it should be divided that way and I think it should be a random three because at that point, [SPEAKER_03]: Every time somebody decides, I'm going to take a case to the Supreme Court. [SPEAKER_03]: They're not choosing who's on the court. [SPEAKER_03]: That's the problem that we're having right now with this redistricting war, where the people who are elected are choosing their voters.

[SPEAKER_03]: In the same way, we have had for far too long. [SPEAKER_03]: People who have had [SPEAKER_03]: We're talking decades old ideas about women. [SPEAKER_03]: The women shouldn't have the right to vote or that women should be basically incubators for babies, which is not, sorry, that is. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: And yet they've waited until they had the right court so they could try to ram this crap through.

[SPEAKER_03]: But if it was every time that they put up a case at the Supreme Court, you pull that lever on a slot machining. [SPEAKER_03]: You have no idea who the hell you're gonna get. [SPEAKER_03]: There's going to be a lot fewer of those cases where they're sitting there waiting in the weeds to pounce. [SPEAKER_03]: When now I have the courts that will do what I want because I've paid a bajillion dollars to buy the people I want. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, it's that's it all boils down to money.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it does and and that's and that's we've got to get that fixed. [SPEAKER_03]: We will and we will we will. [SPEAKER_03]: But we got to win elections first, which is what exactly what do some is doing. [SPEAKER_03]: I love what he is doing with starting this. [SPEAKER_03]: I really want to see some of the other folks out there, some of the other big Democrats. [SPEAKER_03]: He had, he had that presser.

[SPEAKER_03]: He had a good piece after the presser, too, because they, they continued and they kept pressing asking questions. [SPEAKER_03]: And, and he said, look, this, this is what the stakes are really about. [SPEAKER_09]: Wake up America, wake up. [SPEAKER_09]: You will not have a country if you rigs this election. [SPEAKER_09]: You will have a president who will be running for a third term. [SPEAKER_09]: Mark my word.

[SPEAKER_09]: It wasn't exaggerating when I said that I received in the mail a Trump-twenty-twenty-eight act, or one as biggest supporters. [SPEAKER_09]: These guys are not screen around. [SPEAKER_09]: The rules do not apply to them. [SPEAKER_09]: The most corrupt president in history. [SPEAKER_09]: Doesn't believe in free enterprise, corny capitalism. [SPEAKER_09]: He is wrecking this country, wrecking the economy. [SPEAKER_09]: It's a lawless president, wake up America.

[SPEAKER_03]: Bingo exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: We tried to warn them. [SPEAKER_03]: We tried. [SPEAKER_03]: We tried. [SPEAKER_03]: Now we got to help everybody get out of it because we are still in the same boat with these folks. [SPEAKER_03]: We know we can't know. [SPEAKER_03]: We know we can't help you out. [SPEAKER_03]: We will help you out with the drink of the day that is coming up next. [SPEAKER_03]: If you are subscribed, you already know what it is.

[SPEAKER_03]: If you're not, you should subscribe to it at the politicsbar.com. [SPEAKER_03]: So we got the drink of the day coming up. [SPEAKER_03]: We got Karen and Anita coming in and we got more with you and me and Jody and Jody's cat because the cat is up on the bar right now. [SPEAKER_08]: She is totally just just pulled out one of my ear, but [SPEAKER_03]: Hi, Daisy. [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_08]: Daisy, you're throwing like crazy. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, thank you.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't even know how sometimes. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just I'm busy. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, you get behind the microphone a little bit and does because it's it is one of those things about the way that Zoom works, especially the background.

[SPEAKER_08]: If you were in a different, if it was just your background, it wouldn't happen. [SPEAKER_03]: Right, right, but we have a magic background and it tends to to make other things in the room disappear and sometimes it makes the actual people that are supposed to be just laughing at it. [SPEAKER_03]: It's fine. [SPEAKER_03]: All right, it is Friday and we are glad you did not disappear. [SPEAKER_03]: We are glad that you are still listening.

[SPEAKER_03]: We have a good drink of the day. [SPEAKER_03]: By the way, you, uh, we, we talk about it now. [SPEAKER_03]: You want to hear.

[SPEAKER_03]: All right. [SPEAKER_03]: So, um, [SPEAKER_03]: I drink five by the way, how many years ago today did this happen? [SPEAKER_03]: I don't I don't even remember how many years ago? [SPEAKER_08]: I think I have fifty six years ago. [SPEAKER_03]: And I think so. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that sounds about right. [SPEAKER_03]: Sounds about right. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: So for those of. [SPEAKER_08]: To this day, fifty six years ago was the start of Woodstock.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: Couple of day festival in Woodstock, New York. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay. [SPEAKER_08]: And I'm [SPEAKER_08]: a half a million people showed up. [SPEAKER_08]: They were not expecting that many. [SPEAKER_03]: It's like it's like a party.

[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, I don't know if you ever did this with with your folks or you knew somebody who did who was in high school and they had they had a party and they invited somebody who invited somebody who invited somebody and it up letting everybody in that didn't even pay for it. [SPEAKER_03]: Good old Max. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, as good. [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you, sir, for letting everybody hang out at your farm. [SPEAKER_08]: It got muddy. [SPEAKER_03]: There are a lot of naked people.

[SPEAKER_08]: Do not take the brown acid. [SPEAKER_08]: Do not. [SPEAKER_08]: That was literally announced over the P.A. [SPEAKER_03]: That is still good advice. [SPEAKER_03]: Do not take the brown acid. [SPEAKER_03]: Don't. [SPEAKER_08]: Don't. [SPEAKER_08]: But it was literally announced over the P.A. [SPEAKER_03]: So amazing bands there, including Janice Chaplin, Joan Bias, line the family stone, Jimmy Hendricks, the grateful dead, and one of Jody's all time favorite bands.

[SPEAKER_08]: the who, which date, what was funny was Jimmy didn't want to play after the who and the who didn't want to play after Jimmy Hendrix. [SPEAKER_08]: So, because they both knew that this was like, no, I can't follow that guy. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: In a modern, in a modern producers thing, what they might do is have them come out if it was a modern festival, they might have them come out together for us on. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, what happened was two different days is what?

[SPEAKER_08]: True true, but it's it's one of those it's one of those and that's that's just a modern producer's solution Exactly come up play so many other Jimmy you can play some Pete towns and stuff and Pete you can play some Jimmy stuff. [SPEAKER_08]: There you go in the crowd will go absolutely you imagine if Jimmy came on with the who? [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: That's what I say. [SPEAKER_08]: That would have been amazing.

[SPEAKER_08]: And so I did this side thing before we start the drink. [SPEAKER_03]: Sidebar before we give you the actual recipe. [SPEAKER_08]: I did go to high school in boarding school. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm Maui with somebody whose parents told her she was born at Woodstock. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, really? [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_08]: That's her name is Summer and she's the right age. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, entirely positive. [SPEAKER_08]: I looked it up.

[SPEAKER_08]: There was no proof that anybody was actually born at Woodstock. [SPEAKER_03]: And I can guarantee you there are a lot of people conceived there. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, definitely a lot. [SPEAKER_03]: What is the name of the drink of the day? [SPEAKER_08]: It's called a flower power martini. [SPEAKER_03]: There you go. [SPEAKER_03]: And it's inspired not only by Woodstock, but also the fact that Jody is going on vacation for a week. [SPEAKER_03]: And so, exactly.

[SPEAKER_08]: So, before we let the ladies in, that I see one is there. [SPEAKER_03]: In the lobby, yes. [SPEAKER_08]: She's, she's waiting to get in. [SPEAKER_08]: We, we need a chilled martini glass. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_08]: A glass or shaker to stir, not shaker. [SPEAKER_08]: Not shaker either. [SPEAKER_01]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: Ice. [SPEAKER_08]: And then you take two ounces of dry gin, a half ounce of dry vermice.

[SPEAKER_08]: order out of elder flower licor because of flower power thing and also an out which is really teeny tiny of rotten and winter creme de violette licor [SPEAKER_03]: I think that's also supposed to be kind of, um, um, earthy kind of flower. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: And then you need an orange zest twist for the garnish. [SPEAKER_08]: So what you do is you take everything except for the garnish and start all in that.

[SPEAKER_08]: In the shaker, shaker, whatever you've got with the, in the stir, in the stir, in the stir. [SPEAKER_08]: And then you find straight it into your chilled martini glass. [SPEAKER_00]: Got it. [SPEAKER_08]: And then you express the orange zest we've talked about this before. [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: And over the glass and then you use it as garnish and you will not have a bad trip with this drink. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it looks really good.

[SPEAKER_07]: Okay. [SPEAKER_07]: It's a pretty heavy fit.

[SPEAKER_03]: it was it was it was it was a good week for that but that is something you guys know on the ground what the stuff is we had we had Jared was a Jared will be here next week by the way filling in for joney and Jerry lives in the district so he was able to kind of give us a heads up of what's going on there it's still [SPEAKER_03]: Um, from what I heard he texted earlier said that that it's still a little funky.

[SPEAKER_03]: Um, because well, it's it they're going in areas that residential that are quiet that haven't had crime and yes, they don't know. [SPEAKER_03]: They have checkpoints. [SPEAKER_04]: They have checkpoints there. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but what are they checking for? [SPEAKER_04]: I don't even know. [SPEAKER_04]: I know. [SPEAKER_04]: Did you see that? [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, did you see that? [SPEAKER_04]: There's a lot of protests. [SPEAKER_04]: They're like getting out of our city.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's why streets. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they're saying all kinds of stuff. [SPEAKER_03]: There are probably the guy, by the way, the sandwich guy, the guy who, you know, whipped out here at me, yeah, whipped out the salami and hit the CBP agent and I'm not talking that. [SPEAKER_03]: You just, you know, had a subway sandwich. [SPEAKER_07]: It could have been a shoe. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but but anyway, um, so they charged him with a felony.

[SPEAKER_03]: I know it's it's massive. [SPEAKER_03]: It's it's penalty could have been eight years of the judge already released him. [SPEAKER_03]: We've got that story in the news on time today. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because she said there is no free. [SPEAKER_03]: It was ridiculous. [SPEAKER_03]: It was huge overreach. [SPEAKER_03]: If he had been charged the highest level misdemeanor, he still could have served a year. [SPEAKER_03]: But she said, this is freaking ridiculous.

[SPEAKER_04]: And you know what, January six, and those guys beating cops with serious tasers and polls. [SPEAKER_04]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_04]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_04]: I need it. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm sure that Michael Finone would have appreciated an Italian song. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but he had on like a vest. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but he had on like a vest. [SPEAKER_07]: A vest. [SPEAKER_07]: And then like grab is got get his gun get his gun. [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[SPEAKER_03]: That was a judge cited against in letting this guy who who hit the CBP agent with the sandwich. [SPEAKER_03]: She said the agent that you hit had on his body armor. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't injured. [SPEAKER_04]: There was no danger with it. [SPEAKER_04]: And there's one of the, somebody, somebody that works at the DOJ, there's somebody that was telling everybody to kill the police. [SPEAKER_04]: that was there on January.

[SPEAKER_03]: The guy who Trump wants to put in charge at. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, it be honest. [SPEAKER_03]: My brain is thinking BS, but yes, the boss says it's accurate. [SPEAKER_03]: Right, right, but had to be at us. [SPEAKER_03]: He was there. [SPEAKER_03]: I love how they say. [SPEAKER_03]: He was he was a tourist. [SPEAKER_03]: And they're saying that because they said he didn't go inside. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my, I'm sorry.

[SPEAKER_03]: If you were there at the insurrection, [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there was there was only two sides to be on either you were on this side of the insurrectionist or you were on the side of the police. [SPEAKER_03]: You shouldn't be working in government. [SPEAKER_04]: You shouldn't be sure that you shouldn't get a job in government. [SPEAKER_03]: Now, thankfully, I still have not heard back from Raskin's people because we're out to see if we could get Congressman Raskin on.

[SPEAKER_03]: But he did, I did some MSNBC last night, I think it was where the night before. [SPEAKER_03]: saying that his staff is keeping a rolling list of all of the insurrectionists who Donald Trump and his mega minions have snuck into the government. [SPEAKER_03]: So we now know that there is a list of these criminals, which is fine, because when we good people get back in all them folks, [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, first of all, everything that that they did is going to be looked over.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I want to know well, Mr. Primes, who's all that? [SPEAKER_04]: Who's right? [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, somebody came in. [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, let's take a rest. [SPEAKER_03]: The rest is, the rest can be really. [SPEAKER_03]: So at least we know that there, there is a list of these criminals out there. [SPEAKER_03]: So if you're worried, you're like, God, we don't know what they're doing.

[SPEAKER_03]: We don't necessarily know what they're doing now, but we will be able to find it at some point. [SPEAKER_08]: But we also know that a few of them have been re-arrested for other crimes. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not talking about the people who are in the government now that we know that some of the insurrectionists have been arrested but I'm talking about the people who were insurrectionists and then they assign them to jobs like Trump wants to do with this BS guy at the BLS.

[SPEAKER_03]: They actually, Rasca has, Rasca's people have a list and they're like, these are all the people. [SPEAKER_04]: What about the, I say, I say, so it's gonna say, I'm saying, how many of them are, you know, were there? [SPEAKER_04]: Or are there absolutely locked to the rab boys or something, right? [SPEAKER_04]: And we don't know where they are. [SPEAKER_04]: They won't even identify themselves now. [SPEAKER_03]: We don't, but we know, because they get their paychecks.

[SPEAKER_03]: So we know on paper and thank you. [SPEAKER_03]: We're gonna know. [SPEAKER_03]: Rasca's people are gonna end up, because they're getting paid. [SPEAKER_03]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_04]: So they're, we're, we're getting crimes. [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, they're kidnapping people. [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_03]: exactly.

[SPEAKER_03]: And the and the statute of limitations is going to go far beyond this this what three years three plus years that's left. [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Where's the defense of. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, we were just following orders. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, it's coming. [SPEAKER_03]: That defense does not work that defense does not work. [SPEAKER_03]: That defense does not work. [SPEAKER_03]: know.

[SPEAKER_04]: And I can't talk about how we have to let people who are going to who are going to run on holding these people accountable. [SPEAKER_04]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_01]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_08]: And I think that Jack Smith should be arresting Putin today. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I wish he was trying him at the hay. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes. [SPEAKER_07]: Another work criminal. [SPEAKER_07]: I know it would be amazing.

[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, maybe maybe now maybe Donnie and Vladie could get the cells next to each other. [SPEAKER_03]: Just just a thought. [SPEAKER_08]: Donnie, Vladie and Bibi. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, maybe. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, now it's like a sick house [SPEAKER_03]: We'll talk more about the odd quad more about the news of the day.

[SPEAKER_04]: I don't I've never called it X is a matter of fact on my phone when I go open because I have to you know do it by voice my open Twitter and I used it sometimes it would tell me you don't have an app name Twitter. [SPEAKER_04]: And I said open Twitter and eventually it figured out that I was not going to call it. [SPEAKER_03]: And so you can go in and reassign it if you want to. [SPEAKER_03]: It's kind of a pain. [SPEAKER_03]: But I just, I look at it.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, it is still that you can still type in Twitter and it rerounds to it. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: People still know that for what it is that that's one of the things we talked about this earlier this week multiple times how there are things that are in the public consciousness that cannot belong to you.

[SPEAKER_04]: It would be like renaming the Alamo something different I guess.

[SPEAKER_03]: We didn't put this in in the news on tap today because it was I was just it was kind of frustrating, but they are allowing the naming rights for some of the venues for the Olympics the twenty twenty eight LA Olympics. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, right. [SPEAKER_03]: That's what they're doing is they're like, they need them. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, I folks.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's been a long time. [SPEAKER_08]: It's been a long time. [SPEAKER_08]: It's been a long time. [SPEAKER_08]: It's been a long time.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, as long as it has audio narrative, I can watch it. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, the funny, the funny thing about it is James going HBO Max. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yep. [SPEAKER_03]: That's what it is.

[SPEAKER_03]: James Gunn is admitted that Superman is going to digitally so quickly because there is a blockbuster in season two of peacemaker. [SPEAKER_03]: So there's there's something that happens in peacemaker because there's still in the DC universe. [SPEAKER_03]: There's the two characters in this thing.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so he said they have to push it [SPEAKER_03]: to digital release faster, because otherwise it'll pop and people want and I was like, oh, that's the, I like that because Lonnie hasn't seen Superman yet, and I have an either. [SPEAKER_04]: I have an either. [SPEAKER_04]: It's, you know, you could rent it now. [SPEAKER_04]: I think I'm prime or happy. [SPEAKER_03]: You, you should be, I think tonight as of tonight. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think so.

[SPEAKER_08]: And it's, is it eight p.m. [SPEAKER_08]: I realize that if you're on the East Coast, that's you know, you already may be asleep by that.

[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, my friend Michael Cohen, who was a trans friend of mine, and was on Henry Danger, he was the scientist on Henry Danger, and everybody knows he came out years ago, and it was very funny. [SPEAKER_08]: But he's in this, and it's a musical, and so I'm like, I want to go, and he goes, you take it on at night, and I'm like, okay.

[SPEAKER_03]: So something that wasn't confusing. [SPEAKER_03]: The NCAA had this come in. [SPEAKER_03]: They talked about it for a long time.

[SPEAKER_03]: Came down hard on former Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh and the current coach Sharon Moore and the team. [SPEAKER_03]: They find Michigan over twenty million dollars. [SPEAKER_03]: They have several other types of penalties as well. [SPEAKER_03]: We've got the story that you can check it out in the news on tap.

[SPEAKER_03]: I have been telling people, especially in college sports fans for a long time, but a lot of college sports teams that college sports in general needs to watch their ass. [SPEAKER_03]: because if they didn't, the feds are going to start climbing into things. [SPEAKER_03]: And now we've got this Trump regime, and you got all these people who are big college football fans, and they were amaggers.

[SPEAKER_03]: And now they're like, wait a minute, wait a minute, what's you're crawling into my what's [SPEAKER_03]: They're not just crawling into college football either.

[SPEAKER_03]: Federal investigators reportedly are nearing indictments in point shading and game fixing scandals for college basketball and they're talking about and they're talking about setting up different things with the money and they're talking about all climbing up at everybody's college sports about this because it's a massive pile of money. [SPEAKER_00]: Yep. [SPEAKER_03]: And that's why I said this for years. [SPEAKER_03]: I said it's not about the sports guys.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's not about it. [SPEAKER_03]: It's business. [SPEAKER_03]: And unfortunately, because so many of these, especially Republican members of Congress are corrupt, especially the folks in the South. [SPEAKER_03]: Sorry. [SPEAKER_03]: I love you, Ted. [SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm sure. [SPEAKER_04]: But I mean, I'm doing Texas. [SPEAKER_04]: I know about corrupt. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, God. [SPEAKER_03]: That's, that's, that's where I was.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's where I love this. [SPEAKER_03]: You guys know where I'm going to have to time on this. [SPEAKER_03]: Speaking of corruption, yeah, now we get back to more of the hard news from the news on tap today. [SPEAKER_03]: So the Texas state house. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, well, they killed their first session. [SPEAKER_03]: The Democrats were able to kill the first session. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, right, right now. [SPEAKER_03]: But Abbott called the second session all day today.

[SPEAKER_03]: He already called. [SPEAKER_04]: Now, I don't know how many he's going to call. [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, keep calling him. [SPEAKER_03]: Did you see, did you see since it's your state? [SPEAKER_03]: Did you see if he was able to put out or what they put out as far as there? [SPEAKER_03]: Because Texas Democrats said that they had some of them were giving a hint or saying that they had had gotten Texas Republicans to put the flood assistance first this time.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's what they're aiming for, okay? [SPEAKER_04]: This is how they're they're trapping amant. [SPEAKER_04]: They're saying, look, we will come back. [SPEAKER_04]: But you have to dump. [SPEAKER_04]: Abbott is running around saying, they need to come back. [SPEAKER_04]: They don't care about the victims. [SPEAKER_04]: Right. [SPEAKER_04]: It's fun, right? [SPEAKER_03]: It's an absolute crap on that. [SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_04]: So what they're saying is they're saying, hey, look, drop the gerrymandering scheme and we'll come back to do the stuff about the flood. [SPEAKER_04]: Right. [SPEAKER_04]: So he's kind of trapped. [SPEAKER_04]: He's doing all these interviews. [SPEAKER_04]: You can tell he's panicking. [SPEAKER_04]: You can say really ridiculous thing. [SPEAKER_04]: Like the Supreme Court text is rolled. [SPEAKER_04]: I think in nineteen twenty-one.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think it's nineteen or twenty-one. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, because we don't have a filibuster. [SPEAKER_04]: Right. [SPEAKER_04]: So the minority, the only total they have is to bring quorum to lead. [SPEAKER_04]: Right. [SPEAKER_04]: Right. [SPEAKER_04]: So it says in the ruling, they have they're enabled. [SPEAKER_04]: right to be able to do that. [SPEAKER_04]: He says, well, it doesn't say him power. [SPEAKER_04]: It just says enabled.

[SPEAKER_03]: I heard I heard him say I heard that. [SPEAKER_03]: He sounds ridiculous. [SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely, some antics and here's the thing. [SPEAKER_03]: If he wants to, if he wants to say that, basically, the claim and I saw this in the, the first round of this, the first special session they had. [SPEAKER_03]: and I saw some of the legal ridiculousness that they were going through and I went through some of the documents on that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Basically, there's semantic argument was, well, we can kick the Texas Democrats out of their seats because they left to avoid voting on this, but also they're not doing their job because they're not here [SPEAKER_03]: And you go, OK, wait a minute. [SPEAKER_03]: These are two things that can't be. [SPEAKER_03]: They left in order to stop something from going through. [SPEAKER_03]: That is an active action. [SPEAKER_03]: So they are, in fact, active. [SPEAKER_04]: You can't leave.

[SPEAKER_04]: Go to use. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: That's just what you're saying. [SPEAKER_03]: But you can't also have that saying they left because they don't care. [SPEAKER_03]: In the care and they're leaving to actively try to stop something or they left and they don't care. [SPEAKER_03]: These two things are mutually exclusive.

[SPEAKER_03]: You can't have them happening at the same time and that was what Abbott was trying to say is that these two things are happening at the same time and you go, no, this is not the hypothetical Schrodinger's cat. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if you guys have ever heard of that. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Where you where you tie a piece of bread with peanut butter to the back of a cat and then drop them from a height of five feet. [SPEAKER_03]: And it will repeat forever.

[SPEAKER_03]: Because. [SPEAKER_03]: Right exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't. [SPEAKER_04]: That's why people didn't want to tell you about it here. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, and also, first of all, the cat would be an agile enough to grab the bread and lick the peanut butter. [SPEAKER_03]: Come on, it's a cat. [SPEAKER_03]: But anyway, that's amazing. [SPEAKER_03]: But that's what happened is an idiot. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, and you can tell he's panicking because he's in this battle.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes. [SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_04]: And he and he in the Texas Tribune just came out and talked like two years ago. [SPEAKER_04]: He said he really wasn't, you know, he really didn't want to do the redistricting. [SPEAKER_04]: He was reluctant to do any kind of new redistricting because people were talking about it that. [SPEAKER_04]: Now Donald Trump calls him and demands you find him five more seats here in Texas. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, sir.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, there is by the way, the Trump, the Trump regime is trying to take over all over the place. [SPEAKER_03]: And there are some protests this weekend. [SPEAKER_03]: I said this in the last last bit, Jodi, I didn't didn't have any of the stuff we said it earlier, but it is in the news on tap. [SPEAKER_03]: You can find a fight the Trump take over event this weekend. [SPEAKER_03]: If you just go to the news on tap at the politics bar dot com.

[SPEAKER_03]: There's not as many as some of the other protests, but look, if that's how you're doing it, do what you can wherever you happen to be. [SPEAKER_03]: I know in Chicago, Karen, near you. [SPEAKER_03]: You won't go and Catabagazella also has an event this weekend to help out some some people there who need some help. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going help who you can, but that's the thing. [SPEAKER_03]: Your Illinois Democrats, Karen, helped out the Texas Democrats.

[SPEAKER_03]: How was it this week there? [SPEAKER_03]: How was out was the atmosphere there in Chicago? [SPEAKER_07]: super great. [SPEAKER_07]: It was a long piece. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, and we have a tele Rico representative tele Rico is going to be at the protest tomorrow. [SPEAKER_03]: And Chicago in Chicago. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's been great. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's been great here. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's been great. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, you want to call like with him last night.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, there was a [SPEAKER_07]: You know, indivisible has just kind of educating people on what to do, know your rights if something happens. [SPEAKER_03]: By the way, for UDC people, if you want to know what your rights are, we've got that in the news on tap today as well.

[SPEAKER_03]: If you go to add to the fighting, the new occupation section there, remember [SPEAKER_03]: you have legal rights and we made sure yes it's a washing post article but we gave you a free link so you can go and check that out so as Trump and tries to push their illegal federal takeover you can know what your rights are and if you're the desire now you do so there you go yeah I I look at all of this and I just

[SPEAKER_03]: This is the kind of thing that I have said to these kinds of people for a very long time, which is this is not going to turn out the way you think it is. [SPEAKER_03]: You cannot win the way that you want to win. [SPEAKER_03]: And that's also, by the way, the reason that some magas are mad at Trump and they're mad at some of their Republican elected is because though you promise me this, you promise me this, you basically, you promise me that Democrats would back down.

[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like, you see the polling that just came out. [SPEAKER_04]: He is losing. [SPEAKER_04]: He is just hammering support. [SPEAKER_03]: We didn't we didn't put that one in there because there was other stuff, but yeah, the pupil I think had to go to thirty seven thirty six thirty eight. [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, he's got a fifty-six percent disapproval among non, non, I mean, only high score or lower. [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, people with high score, non college educated.

[SPEAKER_03]: The more the more than fifty percent. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's right. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, look, the part of the reason the fifty six percent of the non-college Americans are against Trump right now is the fact that in one month, vegetables went up thirty nine percent. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_04]: And he's hurting what they live. [SPEAKER_07]: That's getting hurt the most. [SPEAKER_07]: They can spin it any way they want and put out whatever numbers they want.

[SPEAKER_03]: that we know there's a lot of things that they did and Democrats too for all the things they did with the uh... the investment programs with the infrastructure programs and putting so many of those things in red areas they were going to have jobs there were jobs that were building there were new jobs there that we're talking about right [SPEAKER_04]: Well, the inflation under Biden was caused because we had global pandemic, and it disrupts these supply chains.

[SPEAKER_04]: John is causing this inflation. [SPEAKER_04]: He's really single-havenly doing this. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: It is not something that is a natural force. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: It's struggling on the side of the house. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Because he's a moron. [SPEAKER_08]: That's a nice. [SPEAKER_04]: That is very nice. [SPEAKER_03]: We can say on all of our radio stations.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's how you usually say. [SPEAKER_03]: We'll say some of those things when we are cleaning up the barn. [SPEAKER_03]: Here we got final round for this evening. [SPEAKER_03]: Look, we will do. [SPEAKER_03]: We can't get yourself your drink refreshed. [SPEAKER_03]: Come on back for last call.

[SPEAKER_08]: your head keeps this in disappearing again. [SPEAKER_03]: I know it's on the zoom. [SPEAKER_03]: We will be doing the zoom thing. [SPEAKER_03]: You can see some of the funky stuff. [SPEAKER_03]: We will be doing the video at some point here, but you know, it's going to be a little bit different, actually, because it'll be Jared Rizsey filling in for Jody. [SPEAKER_03]: He, by the way, thank you for giving him the red hair color, giving him that the die because he's great.

[SPEAKER_08]: It's going to, he's going to look great as a red head. [SPEAKER_03]: There we go. [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: He's wife will love that. [SPEAKER_04]: Turning him into a red head for the show. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, lucky. [SPEAKER_03]: Got to be a minute. [SPEAKER_03]: If he's going to pretend to be Jodie. [SPEAKER_03]: That's true. [SPEAKER_04]: He needs it. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: He needs to be a part.

[SPEAKER_03]: Although, although I'm sorry, nobody can actually ever truly. [SPEAKER_03]: That's true. [SPEAKER_03]: But that was on vacation for a week. [SPEAKER_03]: So, but yeah, Jared will be in next week. [SPEAKER_03]: We were talking with him earlier this week about the Putin thing. [SPEAKER_03]: He used to be the White House correspondent for Series X. And he worked for CBS News for a while.

[SPEAKER_03]: And one of the things that we mentioned is the fact that any other president would not have, first of all, they wouldn't have met Putin here on U.S. [SPEAKER_03]: soil. [SPEAKER_03]: But no, because presidential meats are, it's like everything that you have to do if you're going to sign some paperwork or you know, especially if it's a treating. [SPEAKER_03]: And I guess you say, whatever, everything is worked out beforehand.

[SPEAKER_03]: The meeting with the president is kind of like the frosting on the cake. [SPEAKER_08]: It's the cherry on top. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's it's you've earned this because you did the thing that we wanted you to do which Trump it's more meeting his boss and if any of you had a meeting with your boss that's a little fraught I'm sure that that's probably what it was today. [SPEAKER_03]: We still don't know all the details from this.

[SPEAKER_04]: We've bought some nice things to say about Putin, but nothing. [SPEAKER_04]: There were said anything nice about Zelensky or Ukraine. [SPEAKER_03]: No, he's actually he's put here's the thing. [SPEAKER_03]: So Trump has said some okay things and he has had said some things recently about Putin that made people kind of stand up because he's pissed that Putin has multiple times said.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm going to make sure that we get to some kind of agreement and then he bomb the hell out of them and then clearly moldy. [SPEAKER_04]: But it embarrasses him and you know what? [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's an also because he's talking to Europeans, right? [SPEAKER_04]: And you know, he could be so easily manipulated. [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not saying, you know, and they're talking about all these bad things that Putin's doing and he's embarrassing him.

[SPEAKER_04]: Then he's that's why. [SPEAKER_03]: That's why they're Donald Trump is embarrassed. [SPEAKER_03]: He's related it as I know of where media has been around at least twice where he made it very clear that Melania came up to him and basically said, you talked to Putin yesterday and Putin said that he was going to, you know, lift off a little bit. [SPEAKER_03]: off a little bit from from beating up Ukraine. [SPEAKER_03]: And here's the news today, dead kids, dead wives, dead whatever.

[SPEAKER_03]: And Trump's like, that SOB, he lied to my ass. [SPEAKER_03]: And then he's embarrassed. [SPEAKER_03]: He's embarrassed because he's embarrassed in front of his wife. [SPEAKER_03]: I doubt that. [SPEAKER_03]: I doubt him. [SPEAKER_03]: And he's embarrassed in front of other people. [SPEAKER_03]: The way that he tells you, you can tell it's not just that it's her that she's there in front of other people. [SPEAKER_03]: And that he's embarrassed.

[SPEAKER_03]: And he's pissed because Putin is embarrassing him. [SPEAKER_04]: I think he said, I have a feeling it was probably McCron or something, not his wife, and told him that. [SPEAKER_04]: Because I doubt that she talks about things like that. [SPEAKER_04]: I just don't see her doing that. [SPEAKER_04]: I think she's checked out. [SPEAKER_04]: I know, oh my god, you see, you can try to buy this response, though. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I was just perfect. [SPEAKER_03]: I was perfect.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm there for it. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, go, go Hunter on that. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not in the Stephanie Miller camp where I'm saying, Hunter Biden, twenty twenty eight. [SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, no, no. [SPEAKER_04]: But why not? [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, why not? [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well, that, you know, well, we have Jeffrey Fc's business partner.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, yeah, and and that whole thing with Maxwell that we we had we had somebody who who commented earlier actually got was it was it a post on social media. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm looking here earlier. [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, here it is. [SPEAKER_03]: No, it was Paul and Seattle left voicemail on the ball. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: We love him. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he said. [SPEAKER_03]: And he had a, he had a question that, you know, I posed this to Jody in our one, but it's true.

[SPEAKER_03]: This is what Paul said. [SPEAKER_03]: He said, if Trump had nothing to do with Epstein, how does helping Maxwell make Trump look less guilty? [SPEAKER_04]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_04]: And why is it that they haven't sued Michael Wolf? [SPEAKER_04]: They're going to sue Hunter Biden because he repeated what Michael Wolf wrote. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, they're not, but they never threatened to sue Michael. [SPEAKER_04]: Because they're afraid. [SPEAKER_03]: You got to go through discovery.

[SPEAKER_08]: That's right. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes, we're going to try to do is. [SPEAKER_04]: All right, sue me and let's go discovery. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but they don't want it. [SPEAKER_04]: They're not, they're not touching my cloth. [SPEAKER_04]: I just find that, you know, pretty telling.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, the fact that Michael Wolfe, the people who have been around, I mean, [SPEAKER_03]: I have my issues with Michael Wolf because some of the stuff that he said has been shown to be not true, but other stuff that he said has been true, but the biggest reason that I look at it and go, he's like TNT, he's like unstable TNT because

[SPEAKER_03]: So people people who knew when Michael Wolf was there around the White House basically said that he just followed Trump wherever the hell Trump went and was in all kinds of rooms that he was in. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, everybody talked to him. [SPEAKER_03]: But more importantly, he was in the room and sometimes they didn't talk to him. [SPEAKER_03]: He was just there. [SPEAKER_03]: Listen. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but a lot of them did talk to him.

[SPEAKER_04]: He was surprised at how many people [SPEAKER_04]: would talk to him and just call Donald Trump every name in the book. [SPEAKER_07]: Mostly, you know, but he, point being he became a piece of the furniture for some instances. [SPEAKER_04]: And then he's talked to Epstein. [SPEAKER_04]: He's got like hundreds of hours of tape of tape.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yep. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: And that's so I think all of that is is part of why they don't know what Michael Wolf has and they have no way of knowing what Michael Wolf has. [SPEAKER_03]: So I would say that that is [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that's, that's probably. [SPEAKER_03]: They're afraid of, yes, because they always, I mean, they're afraid of so many things.

[SPEAKER_03]: Good. [SPEAKER_03]: Lord, they're, they're always afraid of the perfect example, and they don't have their crap together. [SPEAKER_03]: So, I don't know if either of you two caught this earlier today, Karen Anita, Jodi and I were talking about an hour one. [SPEAKER_03]: How?

[SPEAKER_03]: So when Trump's DOJ, they had the court case earlier today, and I didn't get to see the the results of that yet, but Annabauer from law fair was following the court case where the DC attorney general sued and said, look, you can't do this. [SPEAKER_03]: And long and short, it came down to the fact if [SPEAKER_03]: Normally, if a president would federalize the DC police, they would say I need X number of officers for X number of days and hours. [SPEAKER_03]: I need them.

[SPEAKER_03]: I need them for whatever the purpose is. [SPEAKER_03]: We need them in this area. [SPEAKER_03]: This area. [SPEAKER_03]: We will be spending to the penny. [SPEAKER_03]: The amount that's what they would say is they would actually [SPEAKER_03]: They can go in for something home rule. [SPEAKER_04]: This is part of home rule and they can go in for thirty days and they can but what the judge was saying.

[SPEAKER_03]: And this is what the DC attorney general said is that you can't say that you're going to take over all of the DC police and then not take over everything that's involved. [SPEAKER_03]: If you're going to take over all of the DC police, what you're going to need to do, you're going to among other things, if you're actually taking over it, you're going to need to be in charge of staffing and shifts and routes and locations reporting. [SPEAKER_03]: Everything down to the Nats ass.

[SPEAKER_03]: So you're taking over all of it. [SPEAKER_03]: Or you have to give them an order that says you need your specifically you need the DC police for X, Y, and Z. Right. [SPEAKER_03]: But you can't, you can't have it both ways. [SPEAKER_03]: You can't say, I'm taking all of the DC police for everything. [SPEAKER_03]: Except for all the crap that I don't want to handle. [SPEAKER_03]: Except when I do want to handle it, except for when I don't. [SPEAKER_04]: It's their incompetence.

[SPEAKER_04]: And they don't understand how government works. [SPEAKER_04]: None of these people. [SPEAKER_04]: You would think that Pam Bonnie might know a little bit. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, she was, I think some, I think some of them know what they are afraid of making Trump angry because then he was going to tell Trump. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, who's going to, yeah, they're not going to do anything. [SPEAKER_07]: That's going to be their downfall. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.

[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, Karen, you're, you're, you're Chicago girl. [SPEAKER_03]: So you know, you know, the history of Chicago politics isn't clean. [SPEAKER_03]: No. [SPEAKER_03]: How many of those folks have been taken down by something basically tracks to them being sloppy and stupid? [SPEAKER_07]: Well, I mean, you know, we've had several last week. [SPEAKER_07]: So how many decades do you want to go back? [SPEAKER_07]: But you know, Anita was, I make this point.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, I've had, you know, I've had people that live here say like, oh, we're the most corrupt state in the union and, and you know, I was talking to Anita about and she goes, no, you guys aren't anymore corrupt than anywhere else. [SPEAKER_07]: You just investigate the corruption. [SPEAKER_07]: Wait, they told them accountable. [SPEAKER_07]: We don't hold them accountable. [SPEAKER_07]: We don't hold them. [SPEAKER_04]: Right. [SPEAKER_04]: We don't hold anybody accountable here.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: It's a lot. [SPEAKER_04]: Look at Ken Paxton. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: I love I love it when it was I think it was earlier this week. [SPEAKER_03]: Um, when it was I believe it was Pritzker. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was who said that Ken Paxton is a cheater and he left it pause and then he said in more than one way. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: I was just like, I love like that.

[SPEAKER_04]: And he said something about the Bible, too, are about Christians and there. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, John, John, you know, John having John Fughal saying in the bar last night, you know, his new book is coming out. [SPEAKER_03]: And they, they are, there are a lot of, there are a lot of these fake Christians down there in Texas, as you know, Anita, who are. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yes. [SPEAKER_03]: God trust God. [SPEAKER_03]: God wants us to steal these five seats.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's like, no, God didn't say anything about that. [SPEAKER_04]: I have the always huge mega churches here. [SPEAKER_04]: And these guys are so filthy rich. [SPEAKER_03]: Did you hear? [SPEAKER_03]: Did you guys speaking of speaking of somebody who is fake and pious? [SPEAKER_03]: Do you hear about the Oklahoma State's superintendents, state school superintendents? [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, the poor. [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, the poor. [SPEAKER_04]: They're meeting.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: They now want to roll out. [SPEAKER_03]: As of today, I believe they're starting to roll out this controversial test from the right wing propaganda that Prager you, that they are trying to weed out teacher applicants from so-called blue states because they don't want to. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not kidding. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, they're destroying the education system here in Texas too.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I firmly believe when when we good folks get back in that we need to make sure to no, that's I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_03]: If you're an ideological thing like that, you can be ideological, but you cannot be in public schools. [SPEAKER_03]: You can't have an ability to do that. [SPEAKER_03]: And if you have private schools, that's fine, but you're private school curriculum.

[SPEAKER_03]: Also the base core of it still needs to be based off of what the secular public school core bases you want to add on to it. [SPEAKER_03]: That's fine, but you gotta take away from it. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I do want religious studies. [SPEAKER_08]: I went to a religious school for boarding school for a year. [SPEAKER_08]: So we did have basic Christianity and some and we had to go to Chapel on Tuesdays and I mean it was a thing, but that was a private school. [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[SPEAKER_03]: But you're, but you're, but you're, but you're basic. [SPEAKER_03]: I've never made a presentation stuff was also probably still a lot of that was probably still in line with the public schools. [SPEAKER_07]: We're doing a really good job. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: It's the only way you can be accredited, right? [SPEAKER_04]: Yes. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, some of these so-called Christian schools, they're just not even teaching science.

[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, they're not teaching things like evolution. [SPEAKER_04]: That's for sure. [SPEAKER_03]: There are just one, six thousand years old. [SPEAKER_03]: Teaching actual education. [SPEAKER_03]: They are teaching indoctrination. [SPEAKER_03]: That is what PragerU crap is. [SPEAKER_03]: It's indoctrination. [SPEAKER_04]: We want to try to go. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_04]: Well, they, yes, at least they had jobs, right? [SPEAKER_08]: Play some live and sleep.

[SPEAKER_04]: And the auction block was a job fair. [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, what are they going to, what about these kids when they're from Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma? [SPEAKER_04]: And they want to go, when they want to go to college. [SPEAKER_04]: That's going to be their foundation. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm getting a second. [SPEAKER_03]: And that's, and that's part of the reason that they're trying to attack all the colleges in your versus two.

[SPEAKER_03]: It is. [SPEAKER_03]: All right, we're at the end of week. [SPEAKER_04]: So many problems. [SPEAKER_03]: Jody, when you go out on your vacation, have fun. [SPEAKER_03]: And if you want to call in the bar line and leave a voice to the message, you absolutely can. [SPEAKER_08]: I might just do that. [SPEAKER_03]: Next week, Jared will be in for Jody. [SPEAKER_03]: We will happen to have some good guests.

[SPEAKER_03]: We got, yes, Monday will have Brooklyn, Dad, the fight, but we'll also have Parker Maloy. [SPEAKER_03]: We got a few other guests coming later in a week. [SPEAKER_03]: I can't tell you about. [SPEAKER_03]: We will fill you in next week. [SPEAKER_03]: So look, go home. [SPEAKER_03]: Have a great weekend. [SPEAKER_03]: Relax. [SPEAKER_03]: Put away the news. [SPEAKER_03]: We'll fill you in on all that crap when we come back on Monday. [SPEAKER_03]: Relax. [SPEAKER_03]: Enjoy.

[SPEAKER_03]: Then come back and see us Monday nights here at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_03]: Have yourself a very good weekend. [SPEAKER_03]: Be safe. [SPEAKER_03]: Bye bye. [SPEAKER_03]: Don't do anything I would do and don't do some of the stuff I would either.
