[SPEAKER_10]: Some great wins across the country. [SPEAKER_10]: Arkansas, in Texas, in Arkansas. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, and in North Carolina, and quite frankly, well, Harry Anton said it best. [SPEAKER_10]: We like Harry. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, we'll just roll him up here. [SPEAKER_10]: We are here. [SPEAKER_03]: I would say the word to describe it for Democrats tremendous tremendous turnout.

[SPEAKER_03]: I mean I mean Texas Democratic Senate primary turnout the highest ever the highest ever was this primary we're already up to 2.3 million and that's only with 92% of the estimated vote and that will climb ever higher than 2,000 average.

[SPEAKER_03]: was less than a million, they more than doubled the average turnout for Texas Senate Democratic primaries, the Democrats came out and voted this beats the old record, which was 2.2 million, and that was in a presidential primary year between Obama and Clinton, and this beat a Democrat really enthusiastic, as I said, the word to describe this is tremendous. [SPEAKER_05]: I just love his enthusiasm. [SPEAKER_10]: it's enthusiasm. [SPEAKER_05]: He's got the mole.

[SPEAKER_05]: He's very Brooklyn on occasion. [SPEAKER_10]: He does when he's when he's excited when he's having a good time. [SPEAKER_10]: And that's really when he's he's most fun to watch, which he's often excited. [SPEAKER_10]: I know I am too, but anyway, the fact of the matter is he is great to watch and listen to, he's fun that way. [SPEAKER_10]: And obviously, voters were having a lot, well, most voters were having a lot of fun.

[SPEAKER_10]: We tell the details [SPEAKER_10]: are you surprised that there was some um, um, chicane or some messing around for me. [SPEAKER_10]: Yes, uh, uh, uh, and in Dallas County, we're uh, crock it was big surprise. [SPEAKER_05]: I am so shocked. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Um, we got to talk about a few things today, folks, one of which is there, there's some great things.

[SPEAKER_10]: We want to, we, we obviously want to celebrate because we know most of the mainstream media today has been, yeah, yeah, Democrats did good

[SPEAKER_10]: Warwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwarwar

[SPEAKER_05]: or what is it good for absolutely nothing to say it again. [SPEAKER_10]: Uh-huh. [SPEAKER_10]: No, it was somebody making it. [SPEAKER_10]: It was like a parody. [SPEAKER_10]: I can't remember which movie it was from. [SPEAKER_10]: And it was, it was a guy duplicating the old NBA thing. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, NBA. [SPEAKER_10]: It's fantastic. [SPEAKER_10]: And they just did it in a movie. [SPEAKER_10]: You went, whoa, it's fantastic.

[SPEAKER_10]: And you're like, oh, wait, but, you know, because at the time, it's kind of like, you know, taking any modern slogan that you see from any ad and just substituting war in there. [SPEAKER_05]: And you're like, let it go with those in 80s movie? [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I wish I could remember. [SPEAKER_10]: If any of you here in the Marrow now, you know, please let us know. [SPEAKER_05]: Because it sounds like something in the 80s, not in the 70s because we were at war in the up to 75.

[SPEAKER_10]: This is true, this is true. [SPEAKER_05]: I'm gonna go with the 80s. [SPEAKER_10]: And he's a good guy and liners as a guess no, I think you're probably right and figure it out. [SPEAKER_10]: Anyway, the elections last night. [SPEAKER_10]: We're very, very good. [SPEAKER_10]: And the turnout was fan free fantastic across the country North Carolina had record turnout levels as well. [SPEAKER_10]: I don't know about Arkansas, but I think Arkansas Democrats did.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_05]: Well, Democrats want to see. [SPEAKER_10]: We have that also in the news on tap in the first round. [SPEAKER_10]: The 2026 election begins. [SPEAKER_10]: Obviously we've got all the Texas results and the North Carolina results, but yes, Jody is right in the results from Arkansas Democrats flipped a Republican state house seat in deep red Arkansas. [SPEAKER_10]: They had to sue Sarah Huckabee Sanders to force the vote.

[SPEAKER_05]: She was trying to delay it out until the the budget has to go because she's 75% to pass her stupid budget. [SPEAKER_10]: Right. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, guess what? [SPEAKER_10]: No, no, they suitor. [SPEAKER_10]: They said, hey, just do it. [SPEAKER_10]: And then the Democrat won. [SPEAKER_10]: And this particular Democratic race down there in Arkansas. [SPEAKER_10]: This isn't one that was common. [SPEAKER_10]: I think you could say that this isn't one that that's they had.

[SPEAKER_10]: thought about it. [SPEAKER_10]: They've had one whole lot of there. [SPEAKER_10]: I guess he was a two point one it was Kamala and Tim. [SPEAKER_10]: I guess they only lost in that particular district by two points if I remember right. [SPEAKER_10]: But I mean, the fact of the matter was is that Democrats were overperforming everywhere again last night.

[SPEAKER_10]: A Democrat Roy Cooper in North Carolina and Republican Michael Watley guy used to be the head of the RNC now set to face off for Senate there. [SPEAKER_05]: I think [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, God, I hope so. [SPEAKER_10]: That would be great. [SPEAKER_05]: They're like in there. [SPEAKER_10]: They do. [SPEAKER_10]: Former Governor Cooper should be Senator Cooper now. [SPEAKER_10]: He knows this stuff. [SPEAKER_10]: North Carolina Democrats. [SPEAKER_10]: We have one story.

[SPEAKER_10]: There were multiple, but one specifically, who voted for a pro ice bill. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, don't do that. [SPEAKER_10]: She got it. [SPEAKER_10]: Look, this is one of these things that we should be telling people. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm sorry, but the polls are very, very clear. [SPEAKER_10]: If you are a Democrat who is wishy-washy, nearly mouth quiet, mouthy, you best get to hell out the way you. [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, look at her. [SPEAKER_05]: She's a black lady.

[SPEAKER_10]: Black lady, don't matter. [SPEAKER_10]: This has been the case. [SPEAKER_05]: She was stupid. [SPEAKER_05]: She was stupid with that vote. [SPEAKER_05]: She's, well, but I'm gonna try to count them out. [SPEAKER_05]: No, not with that.

[SPEAKER_10]: no more compromise no not with that we will compromise with them when they are worth compromising with this this this stuff about this Nazi Plattener up in Maine some of the other ridiculous there are a few not that many oh in fetterman oh my god i heard him online uh it was either CNN or MS now earlier today

[SPEAKER_10]: he's voting to let Donald go to the war, he's he is spouting it's like they plugged fox the fox propaganda network into his brain and he's just spouting Republican talking boys if it's changed parties any time I don't care at this point because I'm like you know what fine get out no he went after the stroke [SPEAKER_10]: I'm aware of that, I'm a way that Pennsylvania voters need to let him go retire so that he can get better health care. [SPEAKER_05]: I agree.

[SPEAKER_05]: And he just has everything changed. [SPEAKER_05]: Just changed you. [SPEAKER_05]: They can't. [SPEAKER_05]: Like it changed him. [SPEAKER_10]: I know disagreement there. [SPEAKER_10]: But it is it is that we're not going to be doing this in this election. [SPEAKER_10]: And this is what Texas really showed among other things. [SPEAKER_10]: So former rep Colin all read and read Julie Johnson. [SPEAKER_10]: So Julie Johnson is currently in the seat.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yes, they did some redistricting in Texas. [SPEAKER_10]: So basically the seat that I'll read used to have. [SPEAKER_10]: So already in Johnson, know each other and now they're in a runoff. [SPEAKER_10]: So, but that lots of voting there. [SPEAKER_10]: Refts, Al Green, and Christian Manifete, the same situation, Manifete's younger, Al Green's older. [SPEAKER_10]: Obviously, you know, the Republicans screwed up the map. [SPEAKER_10]: Those two are running off.

[SPEAKER_10]: Now, there is some funny stuff because, so the Texas Republican Senate primary, Corning and Pakistan are both on the ballot in a runoff. [SPEAKER_10]: A people, well, I love that too. [SPEAKER_10]: I love it because of the fact that Texas raw our phrases are going to be in May. [SPEAKER_10]: It basically is about three months from now. [SPEAKER_10]: The most expensive, oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Senate race in the history of the United States is this one. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, God, yeah.

[SPEAKER_10]: Between Paxton and Coran, 70 million already, 70, 80 million something like that. [SPEAKER_10]: they're literally getting numbers that Obama and Clinton spent for the presidency in the same amount of money. [SPEAKER_10]: That's also the, yeah, it is. [SPEAKER_10]: But that's just the Republican side. [SPEAKER_10]: The Democrats here remember Texas is an open primary state.

[SPEAKER_10]: So all of these votes that were coming in for for Tala Rico and for Croquette, they were not all registered Democrats. [SPEAKER_10]: There were a lot of independence and a lot of Republicans. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I mean, you know, I'm against open primaries.

[SPEAKER_10]: I am too I understand and and and I you and I think agree on that with open primaries because there can be a lot of rat f free yeah when somebody else comes in and try to pick the worst candidates I don't I if you're a pumpkin right but for in the Republican primary if you're Democrat if you're green party whatever [SPEAKER_10]: Right, if you've got in certain areas, Seattle, New York City, and you've got working families party on a primary line. [SPEAKER_05]: Right.

[SPEAKER_10]: Right. [SPEAKER_10]: That's fine. [SPEAKER_10]: It's, uh, what it, what it ran to you to say, fall in love in the primary fall in line in the general. [SPEAKER_05]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_05]: That's what Carlos Ellis Rocky says as well. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I think Carlos picked it up from Randy. [SPEAKER_05]: He might know. [SPEAKER_10]: He used Randy listeners, nothing wrong with that.

[SPEAKER_10]: But look, the fact of the matter is, the Republicans are going to have some real problems because they've been throw in a crap ton of money and a crap ton of crap at each other. [SPEAKER_10]: And they have three more months of this. [SPEAKER_10]: In the meantime, you got Jasmine and you got James. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, well, Kamala's already up here. [SPEAKER_10]: Here, this Jasmine's message to everybody here. [SPEAKER_01]: Let's play this. [SPEAKER_01]: excited.

[SPEAKER_01]: You may be as I was out on the trail, working to stretch people's imaginations. [SPEAKER_01]: It's clear we still have a lot of work to do even within our party about making sure that we invest in kind of just doing the right things at times. [SPEAKER_01]: It's all good though. [SPEAKER_01]: No matter what. [SPEAKER_01]: whether it's Kim Paxon or John Corneon, anyone would be better. [SPEAKER_01]: She's right. [SPEAKER_05]: She's right. [SPEAKER_05]: And I know she's upset.

[SPEAKER_05]: And she's kind of here. [SPEAKER_10]: She's right for Lisa. [SPEAKER_05]: And I get why she is. [SPEAKER_10]: Look, I'm upset too. [SPEAKER_10]: I want to talk to the folks in the bar about that, because I'm upset too. [SPEAKER_10]: I like Tella Rico. [SPEAKER_10]: Don't get me wrong. [SPEAKER_05]: I do too. [SPEAKER_10]: Don't anybody get sideways on us about this? [SPEAKER_10]: We're like a wolf.

[SPEAKER_10]: But I got a bone to pick with a lot of voters out there, especially on the idea of electability. [SPEAKER_10]: Y'all, the worst person in the world got quote unquote elected twice. [SPEAKER_10]: When anybody who had a brain said he couldn't get elected, don't talk to me about electability. [SPEAKER_10]: But we are going to talk with you about electability, because there's some things that we can change on that as far as that goes. [SPEAKER_10]: It is a fun night.

[SPEAKER_10]: We are going to talk obviously with some election stuff. [SPEAKER_10]: Bob Cesca is going to be in the house. [SPEAKER_10]: Yes, we will get some more updates because war. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, no, but we will. [SPEAKER_10]: There's some actual serious stuff you need to know on that. [SPEAKER_10]: Some immigration war stuff going on as well. [SPEAKER_10]: And as we mentioned, that's [SPEAKER_10]: It's a nice salute to a great drink.

[SPEAKER_10]: Even if it is evening, we'll talk a little about breakfast then, too, because breakfast is good. [SPEAKER_05]: I love breakfast for dinner. [SPEAKER_05]: Are you kidding me? [SPEAKER_10]: Me too. [SPEAKER_10]: Come on back. [SPEAKER_10]: It's a Wednesday night here at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_07]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_10]: It is a Wednesday night here at the politics bar.

[SPEAKER_10]: We are talking about that drink the day and about some of the food that we like. [SPEAKER_10]: Wait, time of day? [SPEAKER_10]: Exactly, look. [SPEAKER_10]: There are certain times of food you can eat at certain times a day. [SPEAKER_10]: Certain times that you can make phone calls as well to people do. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, I'm just saying, you know, if you want to call us, you can call us technically.

[SPEAKER_10]: You could call us anytime because we have the voicemail 21367775A 2136777258 that's 213677 salt. [SPEAKER_10]: Like in your Margarita, you can also leave us a message on any of our social media platforms at any time of day. [SPEAKER_10]: 24, 7365. [SPEAKER_10]: We're on all of the blue sky threads, Instagram, Facebook, Substack, and Twitter. [SPEAKER_10]: And of course you too as well.

[SPEAKER_10]: We are at all of those places at the politics bar, which conveniently happens to be where you guys are, which is great. [SPEAKER_10]: Scano and Darrell are both over here in the blue sky corner. [SPEAKER_10]: They're doing their usual things, throwing peanuts and laughing and having fun.

[SPEAKER_10]: uh... scanner said by the way he said uh... never get mad at yourself because you find yourself in agreement with an awful right wing person no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no

[SPEAKER_10]: awful. [SPEAKER_10]: Still are. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: In and right off. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, but they're going to sit there for the next three months and beat the snot out of each other and it's going to cost them billions and we're just going to sit there and laugh. [SPEAKER_05]: It's going to be interesting because the RNC doesn't really spend money for that. [SPEAKER_10]: Republicans have their own versions of the Democratic ones.

[SPEAKER_10]: And remember, the Democratic ones are not the same as the Republican ones, guys. [SPEAKER_10]: But the Republican ones are all more hierarchical and tied to the RNC, but they have their Senate committee and they have their house committee as well. [SPEAKER_10]: And yeah, they're [SPEAKER_10]: this is, this is one of the things that they're, they're, oh, they have another one too. [SPEAKER_10]: Um, so more results from the election in Crenshaw lost.

[SPEAKER_10]: So Crenshaw, a Fox favorites is out. [SPEAKER_10]: I patch Crenshaw. [SPEAKER_10]: Yes, which I'm not trying to be rude to him. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm just saying that way you guys know who I'm talking about when I say Crenshaw. [SPEAKER_05]: Didn't he? [SPEAKER_05]: I patch close on I out though.

[SPEAKER_10]: I don't remember the whole story behind it and I'm not going to denigrate him, but I am going to say, you know, if I, if I say Crenshaw, somebody doesn't know if I say that Republican Crenshaw from tech guy with the iPad, you'll go, oh, yeah, that guy, for example, also if I say that Republican from Texas, the guy who drove his staff or mistress to kill herself by sending herself on fire, you're like, oh, that guy, yes, that guy, Tony Gonzalez, he's going to be facing off against a YouTube gun nut in a district that includes

[SPEAKER_10]: Good job, Republicans. [SPEAKER_10]: Sorry. [SPEAKER_05]: This run isn't the guy that beat Prencha of Maca. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, yeah, the guy who beat Prencha is even more extreme than he is. [SPEAKER_10]: which is kind of funny. [SPEAKER_10]: Also, a former Texas State Senator and extremist Maga Don Huffines, the guy who owns Epstein's New Mexico Ranch. [SPEAKER_10]: He has won the Republican race for Texas Comptroller.

[SPEAKER_10]: So, you guys in tech, you Republican, well done, Texas Republicans, well done. [SPEAKER_05]: You got an Epstein guy. [SPEAKER_05]: Nope. [SPEAKER_05]: Magas, and a guy that who's wife, [SPEAKER_05]: They, they, they, they, they have a friend who says herself on fire. [SPEAKER_10]: Right. [SPEAKER_10]: They, they have people who are so rightly extreme. [SPEAKER_10]: They won't have them on Fox because they're nuts.

[SPEAKER_10]: They have them on like newsmax, even though it's not news, they call it, that's the name of the channel. [SPEAKER_10]: But yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: So these, these people are so wacko. [SPEAKER_10]: And those are the people going up against a various array of downloads. [SPEAKER_10]: Normal Democrats. [SPEAKER_10]: You know, human being. [SPEAKER_10]: That's broken in others. [SPEAKER_10]: Yes. [SPEAKER_10]: So this is this is going to be fun.

[SPEAKER_10]: And and Talerego, uh, he had his, um, uh, um, that he, he stayed up. [SPEAKER_10]: Jasmine was like, they weren't going to decide it. [SPEAKER_10]: And I think this was, I don't know, three in the morning, something like that, uh, Talerego was talking to the people here. [SPEAKER_10]: Here it is. [SPEAKER_02]: We are not. [SPEAKER_02]: We are not just trying to win an election. [SPEAKER_02]: We are trying to fundamentally change our politics. [SPEAKER_02]: And it's working.

[SPEAKER_02]: The number of young people who showed up to vote in this election is unprecedented. [SPEAKER_02]: The number, we know Harry, the number of Texans who have never voted before, but showed up in this election is unprecedented. [SPEAKER_02]: The number of independence and Republicans who voted in this democratic primary is unprecedented.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is proof that there is something happening in Texas tonight, the people of our state gave this country a little bit of hope and a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing. [SPEAKER_10]: 100% agree with that. [SPEAKER_10]: it is going to be so fun to watch Republicans try to hide out and power in their little bigoted racist misogynists little extremist quote unquote churches. [SPEAKER_10]: And well, we can't let Democrats in there.

[SPEAKER_10]: We'll let this deal Jesus boy in there and then he's going to go in there and what they ask. [SPEAKER_05]: It's like Jesus Christ Superstar, so it's happening. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, something's happening across the country. [SPEAKER_10]: And I'm glad that Tele Rico is the right guy. [SPEAKER_10]: For this, just like Jasmine would have been the right girl for this. [SPEAKER_10]: It would have been a great piece for Marcus Melissa's.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yes, coasts of daily coasts in the news on tap today. [SPEAKER_10]: And I retitled it because really when you read the piece, this is basically what he's saying. [SPEAKER_10]: It crock it could have won. [SPEAKER_10]: But Texas Democratic primary voters made the safer bet in Talorico based on their racist sexist state and it was probably the right call for them. [SPEAKER_10]: But it's not necessarily going to be the right call for everybody. [SPEAKER_05]: I agree.

[SPEAKER_10]: This is the thing that bugs me. [SPEAKER_10]: This thing, you're not going to talk about this earlier. [SPEAKER_10]: And you were glad that I get mad about this. [SPEAKER_10]: You're glad that I am incensed about this particular thing. [SPEAKER_05]: Yes, I am. [SPEAKER_10]: OK. [SPEAKER_10]: I have known some some black friends of mine, some Hispanic friends of mine, some Asian friends of mine, some Native American friends of mine, who they're like, you're the white guy.

[SPEAKER_10]: I'm like, you're like, no, you're the white guy. [SPEAKER_10]: Who like we'll get out there and yell about stuff like that is important us and I'm like well, shouldn't it be important to everybody? [SPEAKER_10]: I You know, but my folks my mom and my dad and then later my step dad. [SPEAKER_10]: It is all very clear.

[SPEAKER_10]: It's People are people and a-hones are a-hones and the a-hones do not represent everybody else like them and you take the people through they are Your mom [SPEAKER_10]: Carol, who we love here at the bar, um, some people at Carol Burnett, and she is as an icon of of comedy. [SPEAKER_10]: She's a freaking icon of comedy. [SPEAKER_10]: Holy crap. [SPEAKER_10]: She's she's great.

[SPEAKER_10]: There are a hundred comics, a thousand comics, ten thousand comics, who are guys who think they're better because they're guy, and they couldn't hold a candle to your mom on her worst day. [SPEAKER_10]: She is so much funnier. [SPEAKER_10]: Jerry, who said that women couldn't be funny. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, he was specific on pretty women couldn't be funny. [SPEAKER_10]: Hey, look your mom pretty no question. [SPEAKER_10]: No, no lie on that.

[SPEAKER_10]: It's very specific on that and she has, you know, bequeath that to you. [SPEAKER_10]: So that's we love that. [SPEAKER_05]: You know, that's you know, you need glasses or actual glasses. [SPEAKER_10]: That's not true. [SPEAKER_10]: Lonnie is is Jody pretty the politics boss. [SPEAKER_10]: You agree with me. [SPEAKER_05]: He's also blind so it's that I think in a facelift when he guys eyes done, are you kidding me?

[SPEAKER_10]: No, look look I think look it doesn't I didn't You did because you wanted for you which is great and there's nothing wrong with that, but look My my whole thing is there are people that people categorize they categorize Marilyn Monroe was pretty chick

[SPEAKER_10]: She's also a very funny right, but that's just it women are leaders in all their women are leaders in households all over the world if if women lead households all over the world and they do why the hell can't women lead all kind of they and they do in other countries they do in a lot of other places they've done it is law that countries yes I'm pretty sick of the idea that then oh well you know woman isn't electable

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, no, they're worried about women in their 60s having their period. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Also, I'm not going to buzz again, but yeah, that's a buzzworthy. [SPEAKER_10]: That's a what the hell are you thinking? [SPEAKER_05]: They don't men don't know anything about women when it comes to that BS. [SPEAKER_10]: Science doesn't either because we have an invested in women's health, nearly anywhere close to it. [SPEAKER_05]: You are correct.

[SPEAKER_05]: In fact, poor Bella. [SPEAKER_10]: Uh-huh. [SPEAKER_10]: Yep. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm, look. [SPEAKER_05]: They should have done, you know, set months ago. [SPEAKER_10]: Ages ago? [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_10]: Here's the thing. [SPEAKER_10]: People are electable if we elect them. [SPEAKER_10]: There's a hay seed farmer from Georgia. [SPEAKER_10]: I know our folks listen down in Georgia now. [SPEAKER_10]: No, who I'm talking about. [SPEAKER_05]: Love that man.

[SPEAKER_10]: There's a hay seed farmer down in Georgia. [SPEAKER_10]: And they said, ham, he's a hick. [SPEAKER_10]: He's a peanut farmer. [SPEAKER_10]: He never get elected. [SPEAKER_10]: He's not electable. [SPEAKER_05]: He gave up that farm. [SPEAKER_10]: And by the way, very electable. [SPEAKER_10]: And I held a great president. [SPEAKER_05]: He was. [SPEAKER_05]: He should have been elected twice. [SPEAKER_10]: They said that a good old boy from Arkansas could not get elected.

[SPEAKER_10]: They said because he was had some things, some dialiances, because he was just way too smooth and slick and he couldn't get it. [SPEAKER_10]: Bill Clinton got elected. [SPEAKER_10]: They said Barack Obama was a black man with a middle-leaster name, which is not true, but anyway. [SPEAKER_10]: But that's what the right said. [SPEAKER_10]: That's what the mainstream mean. [SPEAKER_10]: They said, Joe Biden, the old white man was not electable.

[SPEAKER_10]: People are electable if you elect them. [SPEAKER_10]: And here's the thing, here's the little thing that the mainstream media is not going to tell you, because their corporate masters and the folks who own them do not want you guys to know this. [SPEAKER_10]: Look at all the polling. [SPEAKER_10]: Look at the cross tabs. [SPEAKER_10]: Democrats and people who vote Democratic, 75% in a recent U.S. poll said they want Democrats who are fighters.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: And they didn't matter whether you were more centrist or whether you were more liberal. [SPEAKER_10]: What mattered was that you believed in what you say that you are not embarrassed about it like John Fetterman. [SPEAKER_05]: John Fetterman has other issues. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm just saying, well, okay, true. [SPEAKER_10]: But there are other Democrats who are afraid of of, well, somebody might think I don't care. [SPEAKER_10]: Nobody cares anymore.

[SPEAKER_10]: I want you to get out there, and most importantly, I want you to fight for the people that you are represented. [SPEAKER_10]: The guy I mentioned yesterday, Ernie Chambers, he did not agree with everything in his constituents wanted, but he went out there and he represented him more as I was leaving anybody. [SPEAKER_10]: And there are times I didn't agree with his positions either. [SPEAKER_10]: But I never disagreed with his... Forty years.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, and the way that he went about trying to represent his people. [SPEAKER_10]: Because that's the job. [SPEAKER_10]: If you are somebody or you know somebody who is not willing to go, look, I love Catama because they love a person. [SPEAKER_10]: Sometimes I disagree with her political positions. [SPEAKER_10]: But as a representative, I think she's she would be great because she is willing to go all in a hundred percent of the time to represent you.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, David Jolly. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, sometimes I think he's too quiet. [SPEAKER_10]: But he's also, he's got that quiet confidence and he is extremely firm. [SPEAKER_10]: And he is all in to represent you. [SPEAKER_10]: There are lots of people we know who are like that. [SPEAKER_10]: I want them to represent me. [SPEAKER_10]: And I want them to represent you.

[SPEAKER_10]: And if that makes you uncomfortable, y'all going to have to get uncomfortable folks, we've been saying this for a while now, you go and if it's uncomfortable, that there is a white man who is preaching, and he's a good Democrat, and he's going to win down there in Texas for Senate, then I'm sorry, y'all best get uncomfortable folks, because. [SPEAKER_05]: I think they will make a bunch of those evangelicals super uncomfortable.

[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, they're going to make a lot of people in those church views uncomfortable. [SPEAKER_10]: And you know what? [SPEAKER_10]: Good. [SPEAKER_10]: We'll talk with John Fugle's second about that tomorrow because quite frankly, there are a lot of those folks who need to be a lot more uncomfortable. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm just saying, women, lack women, brown women, all kind of women, good people, a lot of good people, they are electable if you elect them.

[SPEAKER_10]: And if you don't let them, I, then they're not, I mean, sorry, just, if frustrates the big Jesus out of me, the people who the electability argument, I like to be started. [SPEAKER_10]: No, I know, I know. [SPEAKER_10]: That's, I just had to get up in my soapbox here in the bar. [SPEAKER_10]: That's the one I keep here behind the bar, but it's just good to hear from a straight white man. [SPEAKER_10]: Thanks. [SPEAKER_10]: I look.

[SPEAKER_10]: My whole life there have been I have been blessed to know brilliant women, beautiful women, fantastic women, talented women, I have been blessed to know great people of every shape and color and background and I find it great. [SPEAKER_10]: because in my toolbox of things that I know, I can learn some stuff, and I can read some stuff, and Lord knows I read every damn fool thing, including the back of the cereal box.

[SPEAKER_10]: I, whatever I can get my hands on, have been since I could, you know, was Nehide or Grasshopper. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, man, I love that thing. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, I love that, man. [SPEAKER_10]: I know some of the people who didn't make a thing. [SPEAKER_05]: Hold it to the back, man. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, no, yeah, I know some people have done it. [SPEAKER_10]: But here's the thing.

[SPEAKER_10]: I've only learned all this stuff because I'm not afraid to get out and meet all of these different people and try to learn from them and try to get some perspective from these people.

[SPEAKER_10]: all the great diversity of people that I know makes me better at whatever I do and it makes you better what you do too everybody who's listening y'all know that I'm most do you do some of your probably is first on you may have a learning congratulations diversity makes you better because it's just you stuff you never yeah it's true so women can be elected even to the presidency and by god there should be at some point [SPEAKER_10]: God, yes.

[SPEAKER_10]: But look, people if they are the right candidates for that office and in that area, elect him. [SPEAKER_10]: And don't let some mainstream jackass and media say, well, you know, they're not electable. [SPEAKER_10]: You hear that? [SPEAKER_10]: Contact the media. [SPEAKER_10]: Just send them a message on social media wherever and be like, shut up, shut up. [SPEAKER_10]: They're electable if we elect them. [SPEAKER_10]: And if they're the right candidate, by God, go and do it.

[SPEAKER_10]: So [SPEAKER_10]: Ranton stepped off the soapbox. [SPEAKER_10]: I do need a drink though from that. [SPEAKER_10]: You got one there, Jody? [SPEAKER_10]: I do. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, see? [SPEAKER_10]: Look at this. [SPEAKER_10]: She's amazingly brilliant and helpful. [SPEAKER_10]: And I still say Lonnie is right. [SPEAKER_10]: You're very pretty. [SPEAKER_10]: That's my feeling. [SPEAKER_10]: Look, we are going to do the drink of the day next.

[SPEAKER_10]: And it is a great salute to a living masterpiece. [SPEAKER_10]: If you know, you know, if you don't come on back and we'll tell you here, just a couple minutes. [SPEAKER_10]: Here, politics bar. [SPEAKER_07]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_10]: It is a Wednesday night, Jody and I are having a ball with you here at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_10]: Bob Sesska is coming in and we will have even more fun because, you know, Bob's a fun guy.

[SPEAKER_10]: No, he's not a mushroom. [SPEAKER_10]: He's a fun guy. [SPEAKER_10]: What did you think they heard? [SPEAKER_10]: I'm sorry, that one over there as soon as I said it, when he, I'm like, yeah, a point again. [SPEAKER_05]: Well, if he was, that he'd be a bigger one than Donald's little one.

[SPEAKER_10]: It's like, why you subscribe Malcolm. [SPEAKER_10]: You get the recipe in there too. [SPEAKER_10]: So you can be like Malcolm Nance. [SPEAKER_10]: You can subscribe. [SPEAKER_10]: Check it out. [SPEAKER_10]: It's the politicsbar.com. [SPEAKER_10]: So. [SPEAKER_10]: All right, Jodie.

[SPEAKER_10]: The drink of the day is actually a little bit more political than a lot of our drinks. [SPEAKER_05]: It is. [SPEAKER_10]: It is very patriotic today. [SPEAKER_10]: And of course, there's a tie in who we were talking about earlier with the food [SPEAKER_10]: I really can't go any further until you tell the people what it is because otherwise I'll just be blabbering. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, okay. [SPEAKER_05]: So the name of the drink is called an American breakfast cocktail.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, and you thankfully did the mock tail as well [SPEAKER_05]: I had it in the mock-tail. [SPEAKER_05]: I appreciate that. [SPEAKER_07]: There's it's all good. [SPEAKER_05]: I was gonna do it. [SPEAKER_05]: Then I did it. [SPEAKER_05]: I forgot. [SPEAKER_05]: No, it's okay. [SPEAKER_05]: So thank you. [SPEAKER_05]: And it's the anniversary at the first day of the U.S. Constitution R's went into effect in 1789. [SPEAKER_05]: We thought it was a different day.

[SPEAKER_05]: Completely. [SPEAKER_05]: No, it was today. [SPEAKER_10]: Today, March 4th, 1789, it's the first day that it went into effect, the whole history is there. [SPEAKER_10]: And I absolutely, this was a very good thing. [SPEAKER_10]: You did an excellent job on this. [SPEAKER_10]: I had in a couple things, but I love the history, obviously George Washington had led the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, which we love you, Philly folks, that's a good thing.

[SPEAKER_10]: The big kicker that I really liked on this, though. [SPEAKER_10]: Um, so, yes, obviously we know the first five states are ratified the Constitution, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. [SPEAKER_10]: The rest of the states were hesitant, especially the folks who were the anti-federalists that had the Constitution. [SPEAKER_05]: And also that some slaves. [SPEAKER_10]: Right, right, right, right. [SPEAKER_10]: They wanted to bill of rights, though.

[SPEAKER_10]: So Madison said, okay, here's the deal. [SPEAKER_10]: I'll give you a bill of rights. [SPEAKER_10]: Did you know how many initial items were in his bill of rights? [SPEAKER_05]: a billion. [SPEAKER_10]: 20. [SPEAKER_05]: Wow. [SPEAKER_10]: And that would have been better might have been well, especially because okay, one of the actually the very first original because they had 20 and then the Congress narrowed it down first to 17 and then to the original 12 potential amendments.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yes, originally there were 12 amendments. [SPEAKER_10]: The went to the states to ratify the states did not ratify. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, they didn't ratify the first one. [SPEAKER_10]: And the first one is it's the one that [SPEAKER_10]: What's the what's the first amendment that they didn't ratify you they still could by the way no time limit on this so it could be right of I it's not timely like I don't know the ERA but

[SPEAKER_10]: The, by the way, if you click through, we've got it linked over to the archives, the, the original first amendment said after the first enumeration, the first counting required by the Constitution, it countered out how many representatives there could be and basically said one for every 50,000 people.

[SPEAKER_10]: right one for which would give us roughly about 7,000 members of the house which we do not need that because you're going to have a very strong proponderance of like Lauren Bobert's and and look you know I'm I enjoy when people are handy but [SPEAKER_05]: You know what? [SPEAKER_05]: I don't have a problem with that. [SPEAKER_05]: Race it to 500,000 then. [SPEAKER_05]: I don't care. [SPEAKER_10]: I just think we need to have better representation.

[SPEAKER_10]: We need to have better representation in that. [SPEAKER_10]: Yes, see this. [SPEAKER_10]: But that Jody, one of your ancestors, Alexander, actually, was I'm pretty sure in favor of this. [SPEAKER_10]: But they knew you would be here someday, but unfortunately the states didn't ratify it yet. [SPEAKER_05]: It could still happen. [SPEAKER_10]: I would I want to know where you live. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah urban areas rural areas and suburban areas.

[SPEAKER_10]: I would like to have this is one of the reasons why I am for multi-member districts because that way you've got Republicans and Democrats and independence all living on top of each other next to each other if it's in a most if it's in a populated enough area you should have a representative from each of those [SPEAKER_10]: And then if they're going to be jackasses, like the Republicans currently are, who, well, I'm not going to listen to you.

[SPEAKER_10]: You're one of my constituents, but I don't pay attention because you're not from my party. [SPEAKER_10]: Fine. [SPEAKER_10]: You won't be that way. [SPEAKER_10]: I have a representative who is from my party, who will listen to me, or somebody from another party who isn't a jackass like you, who will also listen to me. [SPEAKER_10]: So, I'm from multi-member, just to tell you. [SPEAKER_05]: My view is, especially California, because there's so many of us.

[SPEAKER_05]: And we only have 53 people in the House of Representatives. [SPEAKER_05]: which is not nearly represent 45 million people. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, they'll not even close. [SPEAKER_10]: Not even close. [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, we populate population-wise, I think, we're the biggest state. [SPEAKER_10]: I want to, California, Texas. [SPEAKER_05]: I think California's number one. [SPEAKER_05]: We have more reps so we are number one. [SPEAKER_10]: We need better representation.

[SPEAKER_10]: And that was that was that was the original first amendment, which like I said still hasn't been you guys can check the details on on those original 12 amendments. [SPEAKER_10]: Basically amendments 3 through 12 were actually the one that we consider the first 10. [SPEAKER_10]: So it's it's it's pretty good.

[SPEAKER_10]: And we've got that a great history that is in the drink of the day at the Baltics bar dot com, but we also have it have a great drink that American breakfast cocktail and mocktail and I can have breakfast anytime of the day. [SPEAKER_10]: Waffles, pancakes, eggs, real bacon, fake bacon, just not Don Bacon. [SPEAKER_10]: Easily, you kind of have to hand it away, it's fine. [SPEAKER_10]: And other than politics, he's an okay guy, personally, but anyway.

[SPEAKER_10]: But, you know, I can do cereal, I can do fruit, I can do Asian breakfast, I can do Middle East, I can do pizza, I like, but it's breakfast pizza. [SPEAKER_10]: So I'm saying, because you can eat pizza for breakfast, but I also like breakfast when you would have dinner. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm good, you know, I'm breakfast anytime. [SPEAKER_10]: Same. [SPEAKER_10]: So what is in an American breakfast cocktail or mocktail?

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay. [SPEAKER_05]: What you need is a shaker. [SPEAKER_05]: Some ice, a pre-chilled old fashioned glass for the cocktail. [SPEAKER_05]: You need two ounces of bourbon or with a mocktail. [SPEAKER_05]: Two ounces of liars bourbon alternative, which is yummy. [SPEAKER_05]: Either way, half ounce of pink grapefruit juice, always freshly squeezed. [SPEAKER_07]: Indeed. [SPEAKER_05]: A half ounce of maple syrup. [SPEAKER_05]: See that breakfast is coming in there.

[SPEAKER_05]: And you garnish with the grapefruit zest, so you shake all your ingredients for either one with ice. [SPEAKER_10]: It's the cocktail or the cocktail. [SPEAKER_05]: Either one, you strain it into your old fashioned glass. [SPEAKER_05]: You express the grapefruit zest over the cocktail and use it's garnish easy to make sounds refreshing. [SPEAKER_10]: It sounds really good. [SPEAKER_10]: It does sound like it would go good.

[SPEAKER_10]: You know, honestly, with some waffles and syrup, right? [SPEAKER_10]: Butter waffles and peanut butter and butter. [SPEAKER_10]: Some peanut butter syrup. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, that'd be good. [SPEAKER_10]: You'll cheese. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Some pepper, some beans and whatever. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, that's good. [SPEAKER_10]: It's all good. [SPEAKER_10]: If you miss any part of the drink of the day, especially the recipe.

[SPEAKER_10]: You know what to do? [SPEAKER_10]: Just go check it out. [SPEAKER_10]: It's there at the politics bar.com. [SPEAKER_10]: I am a little hungry. [SPEAKER_10]: I might have to get something here at the top of the hour just because, you know, I mean, it's Bob. [SPEAKER_05]: Bob will be here soon. [SPEAKER_10]: Bob will be here soon, which is awesome. [SPEAKER_10]: Some entertainment today in the fifth round of the news on tap. [SPEAKER_10]: I am disappointed in Giel King.

[SPEAKER_10]: She is inked a new deal at CBS. [SPEAKER_10]: She knows day there. [SPEAKER_10]: That's only going to hurt her reputation. [SPEAKER_10]: But she's, you know, near the point where she retired anyway. [SPEAKER_10]: I still, it's just unlikely.

[SPEAKER_10]: I don't I don't watch unless there's something that I can't get like a a basketball game or something like that on CBS I won't just like Fox I don't watch the Fox regular unless there's something that I absolutely really want and I can't watch any rails and even then sometimes I don't. [SPEAKER_10]: You know, like I described a paramount plus because I like Star Trek. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, now they're owned by those monsters.

[SPEAKER_10]: I don't which sucks But you know Bob does have Trek politics. [SPEAKER_10]: So that helps out. [SPEAKER_10]: That's kind of nice. [SPEAKER_10]: It's a good thing We'll talk we'll talk even about that today as well Barbara Streisand is in talks for the offer of potential Oscars performance to honor her friend Robert Redford Which would be interesting because so have to sing [SPEAKER_05]: No, I saw her perform for Barack Obama when he was running as a candidate and in a primary.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_05]: And he performed here in Los Angeles. [SPEAKER_05]: And I went with my friend Angela and her sister and her brother and some other friends. [SPEAKER_05]: And her brother went to Harvard with Barack Obama. [SPEAKER_10]: Nice. [SPEAKER_05]: And so we were sitting behind rock. [SPEAKER_05]: and what we call them rock. [SPEAKER_05]: Anyway, so Senator Obama at the time.

[SPEAKER_05]: Then Senator Ray comes around to shake everybody's hands after Mr. Eisen's saying songs. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Look, James Teller Rigo in Texas, that's one of the things they said that he was very good at is the retail campaigning. [SPEAKER_05]: Actually, it was number Obama. [SPEAKER_10]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_10]: And a number boy Cooper is great about the [SPEAKER_10]: Mm-hmm, one of the reasons they call them a big dog.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, there's retail politics or a good thing. [SPEAKER_10]: Speaking of bacon, like we just were Kevin Bacon, and your friend Ted Danson, Tom Selleck, and Dolph Lundgren, which that doesn't make sense to me. [SPEAKER_10]: That Kevin Bacon, Ted Danson, and Tom Selleck, all makes sense to me. [SPEAKER_10]: And then throwing in Dolph Lundgren, no offense, Dolph.

[SPEAKER_10]: I just, usually, that's not the same kind of movies, but the four of them are going to front some docu-series for the history channel. [SPEAKER_05]: Hmm, maybe tofu do the Russian stuff. [SPEAKER_10]: possible possible. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, I have to see. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, the pair of the pair of the game's opening ceremony, which happened, I think, maybe as we're doing this right now. [SPEAKER_05]: Did they all get to Italy?

[SPEAKER_10]: There were a ton of, there were ton of nations. [SPEAKER_10]: Last check of his 14 or 16 nations that that boycott of the opening ceremony because they let the Russians go under the Russian flag. [SPEAKER_10]: But oh, shouldn't it done?

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, the World Cup may not happen.

[SPEAKER_05]: And it's going to screw my city up. [SPEAKER_10]: They made just shift them to north and south of the border, to Canada and to Mexico, because okay. [SPEAKER_10]: Look, she's she's great bass.

[SPEAKER_10]: We know that she's really good bass, but this what she's having to deal with right now It's it's some series logistics stuff [SPEAKER_10]: You know, and I know a certain young gentleman who has worked for her in the past and he might know a little about that. [SPEAKER_10]: We'll see if we get him in here. [SPEAKER_05]: I know. [SPEAKER_05]: I keep trying. [SPEAKER_05]: He's a busy man. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, look, we got a lot of busy friends.

[SPEAKER_10]: I still think she's gonna be the first one where they're gonna go. [SPEAKER_05]: She's a lady.

[SPEAKER_10]: And in fact, who needed boots when you could do it in the water, US Navy submarine today, off the coast of Sri Lanka, use the torpedo and sunk one of Iran's biggest warships in international waters. [SPEAKER_05]: That's not good. [SPEAKER_10]: No, it is actually the first time since World War II since 1945 that we have sunk a that we have used a US Navy fast attack submarine to sink an enemy combat and ship with torpedo.

[SPEAKER_10]: That from chairman of George Eves General Dan Kane. [SPEAKER_05]: It sounds like an escalation to me. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, it not exactly the wisest thing in the world. [SPEAKER_10]: Also, NATO air defense is shot down in a rainy and missile headed towards Turkey. [SPEAKER_10]: And if you guys forget, we have that article five of NATO. [SPEAKER_10]: So if Iran hits Turkey, then the entire of the entirety of NATO will have to get involved in the next four or three.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Really stupid. [SPEAKER_05]: Seriously. [SPEAKER_10]: double this. [SPEAKER_05]: No, he's not idiot. [SPEAKER_05]: He wants to not make us pay attention to his pedophilia. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, there's part of it is absolutely that part of it is is that I'm sure, but it's also the fact that that BB Netanyahu said, Hey, Donnie, you're worse, but you won't do it, but you won't do it. [SPEAKER_10]: You [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, I wouldn't be surprised given given PB.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Um, but here's here's the thing. [SPEAKER_10]: We were not ready for this war. [SPEAKER_10]: And this is what any of the people who were experts, Malcolm said this off air yesterday. [SPEAKER_10]: We're not ready. [SPEAKER_10]: The US has now lost nearly $2 billion worth of military equipment in the first. [SPEAKER_10]: That that that was just the first four days of strikes. [SPEAKER_10]: One of these is a it's a a basically radar system.

[SPEAKER_10]: If you click through the link in the news on tap. [SPEAKER_10]: You'll see it's a billion dollars for each one of these systems. [SPEAKER_10]: We've lost two. [SPEAKER_05]: And we can't afford health care. [SPEAKER_10]: Jodie is correct. [SPEAKER_10]: They say we can't afford. [SPEAKER_10]: We absolutely couldn't afford health care if we weren't out, you know, going around, you know, punching people in the face that don't need to be punched.

[SPEAKER_05]: For public high schools, public grade schools, public universities, we can't afford those. [SPEAKER_10]: For those people who do the, well, but they were bad guys. [SPEAKER_10]: They've been bad guys forever. [SPEAKER_10]: Right. [SPEAKER_05]: And the other bad guy is his son.

[SPEAKER_10]: who now looks to be the guy that the Iranians may actually install and plus it makes sense plus because we have all of these specialty guided munitions our stuff is really high tech and super expensive and Iranians are going back to uh old school to Japanese did in World War 2 comacosies basically let's strap on some dynamite stick it on to a drone light a really long ass fuse and rather than just stuff you like boom I mean it's I'm over [SPEAKER_05]: without people.

[SPEAKER_05]: Because they're calm because he's without humans. [SPEAKER_10]: They're what's known these days as one way drones, because they ain't coming back. [SPEAKER_10]: Nope. [SPEAKER_10]: So, uh... [SPEAKER_05]: And Iran has the capability, that's the problem, it's not Iraq, it's not Afghanistan. [SPEAKER_10]: Which we talked about with Malcolm history, if you guys missed that conversation, is in the podcast, you guys can go check that out as well.

[SPEAKER_10]: Unfortunately, six Americans are dead, they released the four names and we actually have a gift like you can see the names and their pictures. [SPEAKER_10]: They came from a unit that was in Council Bluffs, I know, well, it's off an air force base. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, well, basically, what it is. [SPEAKER_10]: which off it is, I mean, that's where W went during 9-11. [SPEAKER_10]: It's, I mean, off it is one of the big bases.

[SPEAKER_10]: So, you know, growing up in Nebraska in that corner of the world as everybody in the area knows off it. [SPEAKER_10]: So, don't stick to the families of those, those folks. [SPEAKER_10]: Just know, even if the war was completely worthless and stupid, which it is, your service members or not, they were good people doing their job as well. [SPEAKER_10]: And clearly, I don't even think we had room for this other story that I didn't see this one.

[SPEAKER_10]: So the location where these people were at, some of the experienced military people were like, there's not enough protection for them from Iran. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and they spread out to different buildings. [SPEAKER_10]: different stuff, but yeah, it's the whole thing is that that some of the higher ups who've been replaced by Trump's significance just said, Oh, it's fine. [SPEAKER_10]: It'll be fine. [SPEAKER_10]: You'll be fine.

[SPEAKER_10]: So this is for those people who voted for Trump just to understand if you ever run into the families, or those dead service members, the first thing that you should do is get down on the ground and beg there forgiveness of you worthless bag of slime. [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, people have said that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were war mockers. [SPEAKER_05]: In fact, Stephen Miller said that.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, but, you know, you got a very funny video that I saw on one of the social meetings he was stealing. [SPEAKER_10]: And I thought it was funny. [SPEAKER_10]: The thing is is that I thought he actually might like it because it was funny. [SPEAKER_05]: He looked good in it. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, see, that's a problem. [SPEAKER_10]: He doesn't. [SPEAKER_10]: He looks like no one. [SPEAKER_05]: But he's still in A-hole. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, big A-hole. [SPEAKER_10]: Big A-hole.

[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I like the video. [SPEAKER_05]: That's why I repose. [SPEAKER_10]: You know, he's an awful man who basically puppets Donald Trump and I... [SPEAKER_05]: I know he's awful and I want him. [SPEAKER_10]: gone out. [SPEAKER_10]: Not there. [SPEAKER_05]: I want him in prison. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, I would like that, too. [SPEAKER_10]: I mean, I don't know what to do. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, right. [SPEAKER_05]: I've heard this done last year. [SPEAKER_10]: He's done something.

[SPEAKER_10]: I would prefer we look. [SPEAKER_10]: I'll just do a trade. [SPEAKER_10]: Good people from Russia will bring them here. [SPEAKER_10]: And they can take people like Stephen Miller and Christie. [SPEAKER_10]: No, I'm I'm perfectly fine with that. [SPEAKER_05]: And all the Donald's.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah, all the people like Donald Jr is number one for running for his dad's [SPEAKER_10]: yet no no no he doesn't have the flare well especially after okay so hundreds of thousands americans have been stranded in the middle east there's only somewhere between uh three hundred and uh six hundred thousand i believe the americans yeah um the trump regime help mega influencers who are over there and who do you think is dog walker

[SPEAKER_10]: But the lots of regular Americans are still stuck. [SPEAKER_10]: And if you're one of them, listen to us, we're really sorry. [SPEAKER_10]: The best thing I recommend is if you know somebody who is over there, for some reason, the State Department phone line, which I do not currently have, you can Google that real quick forward this particular thing. [SPEAKER_05]: Just call to a 222-4-3121 and they will send you there.

[SPEAKER_10]: Exactly, it can connect from the United States really well, but the people who need it are in the Middle East, for some reason it's not connecting from the Middle East very well. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, so if you know somebody, I know it's going to be obviously one of those time things, you'll be up late or they'll be up early, whatever, but just do it on a joint call. [SPEAKER_10]: You call from here in the States, connect them, loop them in.

[SPEAKER_10]: and then you just go on mute yourself and they'll have a conversation. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, if you have a friend's in Israel, Jordan, anywhere in that neighborhood. [SPEAKER_10]: Who can't get out, especially if you know a UAE, what happens? [SPEAKER_05]: Yes, UAE, Dubai. [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, all of it.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's just like... [SPEAKER_10]: If you got people you know over there and they're having problems, but they can connect to you, you can connect to the state to part of a number and then you can connect them that way. [SPEAKER_10]: That's that that's that whole merge button on your on your cell phone where you merge calls. [SPEAKER_10]: That's what it's for. [SPEAKER_10]: And when you mute, it won't mute them. [SPEAKER_10]: They can talk to each other.

[SPEAKER_10]: They just want to hear you. [SPEAKER_10]: So there you go. [SPEAKER_10]: Be help. [SPEAKER_10]: Find a friend. [SPEAKER_10]: Do a good thing. [SPEAKER_10]: Yes, get them out and I'm hope you safely if you think the Iran War is stupid don't worry Donald has more Donald hasn't told the military to open up military action in Ecuador Yeah, I was today, right?

[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, yeah, just just like we did in Venezuela quote unquote terrorist organizations Because what you're not doing enough wars what is it nine or ten nations now it's a minimum of eight now [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I think it's eight, nine, or ten. [SPEAKER_10]: Someone in there that that that we have messed with. [SPEAKER_05]: Bombed. [SPEAKER_05]: Every continent except Antarctica. [SPEAKER_05]: The peace, the peace president is mom and everybody.

[SPEAKER_10]: Well, he is a piece of what I'm saying. [SPEAKER_10]: Sorry. [SPEAKER_10]: He is. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm just saying. [SPEAKER_05]: You're not wrong on that. [SPEAKER_10]: that is my perception of him. [SPEAKER_10]: I don't think most of the people in the bar would disagree with me on that, but I'm like good lord, man. [SPEAKER_10]: Just drives me nuts. [SPEAKER_10]: So anyway, Trump regime also is still turning up the heat on Venezuela.

[SPEAKER_10]: And now they're threatening to indict the new leader, Delcy Rodriguez. [SPEAKER_05]: I know. [SPEAKER_05]: And they liked her, didn't they? [SPEAKER_10]: Well, when she was kissing their ass and doing what they wanted, but she's a majority person. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, but also she's a woman. [SPEAKER_10]: And they want her subservient because, you know, they don't like women. [SPEAKER_05]: Well, she's also a majority person, so. [SPEAKER_10]: Right.

[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, she was, she was a majority of his vice president. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: And she still says he's still the president. [SPEAKER_10]: He's just not currently available to do his job. [SPEAKER_10]: So with the way that they have their constitution, she is running the country in a sense, kind of like the 25th amendment, basically.

[SPEAKER_10]: And the 25th amendment doesn't say, well, when the vice president takes over the president is done, it's you take over while the person is indisposed and then the regular, which that's how they're, that's effective. [SPEAKER_05]: Well, though, the 25th amendment could get rid of a president completely. [SPEAKER_10]: You can, or you can just say, you know, they're, I'm sorry, this person is currently indisposed. [SPEAKER_05]: They'll be back at a near time.

[SPEAKER_10]: Right, exactly. [SPEAKER_10]: Look, Dick Cheney did that for W, you know, it's happened a lot of times. [SPEAKER_05]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_10]: You know, that's, but, and that is for Venezuela, that's what Dolce Rodriguez is doing for them from a D'Roll. [SPEAKER_10]: It's the same. [SPEAKER_10]: People don't seem to understand it, though. [SPEAKER_10]: I don't know why they don't understand it. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm like, you've seen this unlike all kinds of things.

[SPEAKER_05]: We've seen this movie. [SPEAKER_10]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_10]: You are correct. [SPEAKER_10]: We've seen this movie before, folks. [SPEAKER_10]: So, I don't know. [SPEAKER_10]: Who's here, everybody? [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I'm late. [SPEAKER_05]: That's okay. [SPEAKER_09]: We're ready to leave. [SPEAKER_09]: You were probably doing some track stuff. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, no, actually, I was talking to Buzz Burbank on my podcast. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, hey, Buzz is gabbing.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, we know Buzz is on your show today. [SPEAKER_10]: Yes, I have that. [SPEAKER_10]: I can't get enough buzz, Burbank. [SPEAKER_10]: Also the fact is, you can pretty much drop at any 60 seconds from you and that's a liner from you and buzz, your conversation. [SPEAKER_10]: Rana, pick a random 60 seconds of Bob and buzz. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, there's a liner, thank you. [SPEAKER_10]: So, you know, look, it's good conversation.

[SPEAKER_10]: So obviously, we're gonna have a good conversation with you, obviously, about the election and of course about Donnie's new wars. [SPEAKER_10]: Plural. [SPEAKER_10]: Plural. [SPEAKER_10]: I'll tell you about that in the break here. [SPEAKER_10]: Bobcester is here. [SPEAKER_10]: It's a Wednesday night. [SPEAKER_10]: So, fresh in your drink. [SPEAKER_10]: Do what you got to do. [SPEAKER_10]: Maybe you want to go get a t-shirt. [SPEAKER_10]: We've got those at the politics bar store.

[SPEAKER_10]: Go to politicsbar.com, click on store, or you know you go to Bobcester.com and get one of his t-shirts. [SPEAKER_10]: They are also fantastic. [SPEAKER_10]: And you can get a Jody T-shirt over at Bob's place as well as here. [SPEAKER_10]: Get your Jody on, get yourself a t-shirt. [SPEAKER_10]: We'll be back with Bob Sasker. [SPEAKER_10]: Hang on. [SPEAKER_04]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_10]: It is a Wednesday night at the politics bar.

[SPEAKER_10]: And you guys know what that means. [SPEAKER_10]: The idea of a Pope Bob. [SPEAKER_10]: What, whoa, it is Bob Sasker. [SPEAKER_09]: Bless you, my son. [SPEAKER_09]: Ha ha. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm done. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, I'm having a new mom to go and go. [SPEAKER_10]: Even even when I, even when I don't, you know, when I, when I hit the wrong button and do the little helium thing, which is, I'm older than both of you. [SPEAKER_05]: So I cannot be anyone's daughter in this room.

[SPEAKER_10]: I, then, then, then now you do not look like you are older, Jody. [SPEAKER_10]: That's just it. [SPEAKER_10]: You don't look like you're older. [SPEAKER_05]: I'm pushing 60 kids. [SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to be 60 in less than a year. [SPEAKER_10]: So, no, no, not according to the Stephanie Miller rules, according to Stephanie Miller rules, you are in your 40s, Jody. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, no, no, no. [SPEAKER_05]: I never lie. [SPEAKER_09]: That's just chronological age of memes enough.

[SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_10]: Right. [SPEAKER_10]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_10]: You know, it's it's it's it's like Michael Jackson for Jeffrey Epstein. [SPEAKER_10]: You know, they said. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm just saying. [SPEAKER_10]: You know Michael Jackson's favorite date for dates by was right. [SPEAKER_10]: Minor point. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh my god. [SPEAKER_10]: Sorry, brought that joke back from the 80s. [SPEAKER_10]: Yes, bye. [SPEAKER_09]: Good night.

[SPEAKER_09]: I don't want to leave button on my Zoom window. [SPEAKER_10]: Look, I'm still thinking of that stupid slogan from the 80s. [SPEAKER_10]: I cannot figure out where that came from. [SPEAKER_10]: Words, fantastic. [SPEAKER_10]: I cannot, if any of you figure out what 80s movie that came from, I... [SPEAKER_05]: I don't recall that, but it has to be the 80s.

[SPEAKER_09]: it has to be and I will I will do I will do a deep dive after we get to the market I need to take a look at the you know what I thought of I thought of that episode of signfeld where someone suggests instead of worn peace they that uh... dust to ask dust to ask he should have re-named it war was a good for I think a lane makes that suggestion I think so and then they didn't isn't that the same one where they do the dance and she's doing the really it's I think I think

[SPEAKER_10]: Like a Stephanie Miller dance that damn yeah, yeah, exactly. [SPEAKER_05]: I've been in a room with her dancing trust me. [SPEAKER_09]: It's a lane This point just yes, I meant toll story. [SPEAKER_09]: There you go. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_09]: It's okay. [SPEAKER_09]: Let's find [SPEAKER_10]: I'm sorry, how is this live? [SPEAKER_10]: It was good.

[SPEAKER_10]: We actually, you know, speaking of dancing, we do know there were people dancing last night in Texas and in North Carolina and in Arkansas where there were some great wins for Democrats. [SPEAKER_10]: And we were talking all about that this first past hour here, Bob, because [SPEAKER_10]: got to say I I was geeked up, um, you know, I wanted Jasmine Croc to win, but I'm really okay with Tallahureka winning too. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: He's he's he's he is no good.

[SPEAKER_09]: I just, I feel bad for Jasmine Croquette, but I'm not going to tell Rico winning too. [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, I just, I don't have a favorite between the two of them. [SPEAKER_09]: I have reasons to love both of them as great, and I would have been satisfied with either one of the winnings of the nomination. [SPEAKER_09]: I like, I mean, but now the Tallah Rico is the guy.

[SPEAKER_09]: Obviously, what he brings to the table is I think a serious push toward Legislating against the oligarchy. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, he's going to legislate the way he's campaigning We can feel pretty good about that. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, he is he is I think there are not a lot of white people Yeah, um who think that oh cuz he's he's the nice young white man that he's nice and calm And he's he's just gonna go in there and he'll just be like a weak little meek Democrat

[SPEAKER_10]: Man, I think they are going to have a real awakening when they actually start the general campaigning and they hear some of the stuff he says and they're like, you know, and especially as you noted earlier, Joe, do some of the the churchy people, especially the people on the right who are like, you can't preach those words from the Bible and be a Democrat, he's an actual Jesus follower. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, he's like a fugal saying Jesus.

[SPEAKER_05]: Exactly, yes, actual Jesus followers. [SPEAKER_05]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: There have been some moments in interviews that I swear, Talrico is quoting John. [SPEAKER_10]: It's possible. [SPEAKER_10]: It wouldn't surprise me. [SPEAKER_10]: I wouldn't be surprised if he had his book, although I would love to hear an eating bet that at some point, Talrico is probably going to go on John show. [SPEAKER_10]: What to ask John when he comes to the bottom of the show?

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, John could get him for sure. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, no, that's going to happen. [SPEAKER_10]: That's going to be so much fun because Jasmine is going to bring all of her people and be like, look, even if you don't like Tallahureka, what you should, because most of the stuff that he's for, she's for, you know, that they're both very progressive in that way. [SPEAKER_10]: And I know there are some people on the the purity left who are, you know, she wasn't progressive enough.

[SPEAKER_10]: Shut up. [SPEAKER_10]: She was very progressive anyway, but she's going to have all her people be like, [SPEAKER_10]: go and kick everybody's ass and get him elected for me. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, she's going to be all in on it. [SPEAKER_05]: Comwell Harris was supporting her, so she's going to be all in. [SPEAKER_05]: She's already sent me an email.

[SPEAKER_10]: call a sent me an email saying okay tell Rico you didn't do you didn't do the the typical producer thing joting and i think you've done any of their bob work you know when i started with a producer thing i'll find a sign for the stupid ask i don't know my phone and i've canceled them all that doesn't matter they still send you taxes i got three texts this morning from tele Rico's folks like i'm like nice hello wow i'm like you know they're they're they're on it

[SPEAKER_10]: What list are you on? [SPEAKER_09]: I haven't gotten any of those. [SPEAKER_05]: And I got to tell you, I'm not going to call a Harris about Talarica. [SPEAKER_10]: I try to get off those lists and they still are like, no, no, no, you're you're you're producer. [SPEAKER_10]: You're you're now you're you're you're a talent and a producer on a political talk show. [SPEAKER_10]: We must get your information. [SPEAKER_10]: I don't know where to help you get anything.

[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, because I get a ton. [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, I have an entire email address that is flooded with those same PR emails Yeah, my author on your show, etc. [SPEAKER_09]: That kind of thing, but not once lucky you Sean Thanks a pantload yet anyways

[SPEAKER_10]: So I happen to get, and the funny thing is that while we're all having fun and working really hard to get Democrats and independence and non-Trump Republicans out to vote for Chalorico and to vote for all the great Democrats who are in Texas and across the country, um, you're going to have a corner in Pakistan. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, spending bajillions, beating the living's not out of each other for another three months. [SPEAKER_05]: I cannot wait for corn and to go after him.

[SPEAKER_10]: I keep thinking, look, if they really want to get rid of that much money, it's just, you know, they could, they could give it to Salarico. [SPEAKER_10]: Give it to them. [SPEAKER_10]: But I say they should give it to us. [SPEAKER_10]: Give it to you, me and Bob and the other folks here in the bar. [SPEAKER_10]: Because if nothing else, if nothing else, it's Texas. [SPEAKER_10]: They like fireworks. [SPEAKER_10]: They like flames.

[SPEAKER_10]: Take it out in a wheelbarrow in the street and just have a big freaking bonfire. [SPEAKER_10]: Because if you're going to spend money and if you've got to burn it, that's stupidly. [SPEAKER_10]: At least make it fun for everybody else. [SPEAKER_10]: You know, I mean, come on, give me break. [SPEAKER_09]: Put the bonfire. [SPEAKER_06]: Nice. [SPEAKER_09]: But if you put it, I have a question for both of you.

[SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_09]: School of thought that suggests, boy, do we want Paxton to win this nomination? [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, because he's crazy. [SPEAKER_09]: And that means he's going to lose. [SPEAKER_09]: And it's going to make it more likely that Talarico is going to win in November. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, Paxton is so crazy. [SPEAKER_09]: Is that a really a gamble that we want to take? [SPEAKER_05]: Because I understand your problem.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's very Donald Trump versus Hillary, so it's not a lady running against him now. [SPEAKER_05]: It's a man. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, we talked about that too. [SPEAKER_05]: So there's that issue that's not there. [SPEAKER_05]: I understand your problem. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, completely. [SPEAKER_05]: In fact, Anita from San Antonio was married by John Cornean. [SPEAKER_10]: Right. [SPEAKER_10]: John Court of the American. [SPEAKER_05]: John Court of the American.

[SPEAKER_05]: And her husband. [SPEAKER_10]: If he were, if he were in a normal Congress, a normal Congress without, he'd probably want to be one of those people that Democrats would work with to get things done. [SPEAKER_05]: Yes. [SPEAKER_05]: He used to be. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: But in order to keep his job, which he's had for 20 some odd years, he's, you know, I understand your concern too, like Jody Bob. [SPEAKER_10]: But I think. [SPEAKER_10]: This is this is one of things.

[SPEAKER_05]: I think Cornan's going to beat up Paxon so much that if he gets the nomination, tell Rico has all those doors opened. [SPEAKER_10]: Plus all the money. [SPEAKER_10]: Plus, here's the other thing. [SPEAKER_05]: Tell Rico just now to spend money right now. [SPEAKER_05]: They do. [SPEAKER_10]: Tell Rico is a great candidate for Texas. [SPEAKER_10]: James, tell Rico, I do not think would work in Southern California. [SPEAKER_10]: No, he could.

[SPEAKER_10]: maybe, but I don't think he'd work as well. [SPEAKER_10]: There are candidates that work well in different places. [SPEAKER_10]: I think Jasmine Crocket, because of certain things, was great in what it worked well in Texas too, for certain measures of things, although damn misogyny. [SPEAKER_10]: Anyway. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, and racism.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yes. [SPEAKER_10]: But the whole thing with Paxton is [SPEAKER_10]: You've got the people who voted for Donald Trump because they wanted their tax cuts. [SPEAKER_10]: Yep. [SPEAKER_10]: The corporate repubs. [SPEAKER_10]: Then you've got the people who voted for Donald Trump because they wanted their tax cuts. [SPEAKER_10]: And they're a little bigoted, a little racist, a little misogynist. [SPEAKER_10]: So you're going further down the spectrum.

[SPEAKER_10]: Then you have your [SPEAKER_10]: Now they're calling themselves America firsters put America first and they're fighting against the maggots because the maggots are you know if Donald Trump says go outside and Gurgle your own spit until you choke. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, you should do that America first you say wait a minute wait wait wait wait wait you said no new wars [SPEAKER_10]: And you got a bajillion, what's going on?

[SPEAKER_10]: This is some of the crap you're saying isn't computing. [SPEAKER_10]: So, but then like I said, you got the maggots who are, you know? [SPEAKER_10]: You don't have to jump, whatever you do, right? [SPEAKER_10]: So, this is your spectrum. [SPEAKER_10]: The further down the spectrum you go, the fewer of the people on the right who would vote for Republican land, you get.

[SPEAKER_10]: Paxton is somewhere between [SPEAKER_10]: Corporate Republican who is a little crazy and full-out megaville and he's closer in many ways to full megaville. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, yes, which means all of those people to his left Especially the corporate Republicans are like and especially the religious Republicans who actually believe In actual Christianity like John Fugel saying to us, who by the way he'll be your mark, but those people

[SPEAKER_10]: Look at Paxton and they go I'd like to have a conservative candidate to vote for they're like a shared jacobas they're like Joe walls you know they're like I'm actually conservative that guy as two or three mistresses his wife divorced him for biblical reasons he has been indicted he is correct we know he's absolutely he's he's dirtier than [SPEAKER_10]: we know that he is a dirty bastard in so many ways and they look and they go for all of these reasons.

[SPEAKER_10]: I couldn't vote for him. [SPEAKER_10]: Now, they lie to themselves and they say, well, I couldn't vote for a Democrat because they're a Democrat. [SPEAKER_05]: And this is how Rico is. [SPEAKER_10]: Because Tala Rico is a church boy like them. [SPEAKER_10]: And for all the reasons that they've been telling themselves for years, I couldn't vote for a Democrat. [SPEAKER_10]: They look at him and they go, well, he's white. [SPEAKER_10]: He's not black, he's a man, he's not a woman.

[SPEAKER_10]: And he's got those gone far out. [SPEAKER_10]: He's really church going. [SPEAKER_10]: I think this is an important election. [SPEAKER_10]: And you're gonna get some. [SPEAKER_10]: You're not gonna get all, but you're gonna get some. [SPEAKER_10]: And that's the key, because if you get all the Dems, [SPEAKER_10]: and most of the independence and some of the Republicans game over a cowboy. [SPEAKER_05]: I think he could beat Cornan too.

[SPEAKER_10]: I think he can too, but I think especially if it happens to be Paxton. [SPEAKER_05]: Can you see the debate? [SPEAKER_05]: Ha ha ha ha. [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, think about it. [SPEAKER_10]: Tell the Rico would probably bring with him a Bible as well. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, you never seen one of these? [SPEAKER_05]: Do you know what that is? [SPEAKER_10]: Three-time flanderer.

[SPEAKER_10]: So I get what you're saying and I kind of understand it and look everybody here at the bar if if you want to weigh in honestly You know, you can weigh in at any of our social media platforms and and loop Bob into he's most of them He's at Bob's escort or some variation thereof and of course we're at the politics bar But you can answer Bob's question honestly Whether you think it's a good idea to be kind of pushing to get Paxton or whether the you You would like it and letting him just let them beat each other up.

[SPEAKER_05]: I think they're going to be each other up [SPEAKER_10]: What's what's what's your take on it? [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, why I just feel like we need as many firewalls between Elected office and people like Ken Paxton as possible. [SPEAKER_09]: So I'm a little bit more small sea conservative on this not politically conservative obviously But in terms of Making a judgment call on this issue.

[SPEAKER_09]: I would much rather go with the devil we know Yeah, yeah Right then some crackpot who is going to further be clown [SPEAKER_09]: the Senate and be responsible for voting on things like filibusters and Supreme Court nominees and I get that too. [SPEAKER_10]: I think I mean, I still think I still agree. [SPEAKER_10]: Go ahead and can beat him. [SPEAKER_05]: I do too. [SPEAKER_09]: I mean granted there are a couple of trueisms here.

[SPEAKER_09]: People who are going to vote for John Corne and are probably also going to vote for Ken Paxon. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm talking about Texas Republican. [SPEAKER_10]: So people who the people who would vote for a dead chicken with an R staple do it's asked. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: So we're really talking about a finite number of people who might not vote for Ken Paxton, who would otherwise vote for John Corne and Microsoft.

[SPEAKER_09]: And then when it comes to a voting record in the Senate, I think Corne and Paxton would generally be similar as far as their voting. [SPEAKER_08]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_09]: Probably, but Ken Paxon is just crazy and we also have to bear in mind in addition to the electoral concerns, legislative concerns. [SPEAKER_09]: We also have to be concerned about tone and decorum.

[SPEAKER_09]: And now with every member of Congress who's like Ken Paxon and some of the freaks and weirdos in the house side, you're respective of how they end up voting.

[SPEAKER_10]: the fact is is that their overall behavior is worsening our politics and I know we're well beyond that threshold but I also think because there are so many things that have happened with Donald Trump especially now that American service members are getting killed in this stupid ass war and that we're getting you know Americans killed in the street by ice monsters there are a lot more Americans who are aware of that worsening and going you know what

[SPEAKER_10]: Maybe we shouldn't go with a person who is eating their own underwear and you know taking a crap in the middle of the street And they want tigers to eat our faces [SPEAKER_10]: We have one more round with Bob Cesca here to the Wednesday night here at the politics bar.

[SPEAKER_10]: It's like, Bob, he's just, you know, this guy who, you know, talks and does authentic kinds of fantastic stuff. [SPEAKER_05]: He's practically Nelson Gill.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I'm a I'm a walking talking linked in page Well look you know and and besides that I mean, you know you've got a great set up at your place, you know you've you've got Your coffee's not too far away of course [SPEAKER_10]: And you have the refrigerator that you and Kimberley go have fun in, and that's a few more steps. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, yes, that's also the entire thing is a freelance. [SPEAKER_10]: This is true. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, of course.

[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_05]: I started that. [SPEAKER_05]: It's all my fault. [SPEAKER_05]: That started with he had a problem with his refrigerator and I said, were you having sex and that just went on from there? [SPEAKER_09]: Did you also reprogram the Google AI to say that Stephanie Miller and I are married? [SPEAKER_05]: No, I did not do that, but I did not do that, but I did not refer to her sex thing. [SPEAKER_05]: I did not do that, I take complete.

[SPEAKER_10]: I did not refer to her sexuality for the refrigerator sex, but not for Stephanie Miller be a little Bob Saskar on the AI. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Hey, I think that AI is now being incorporated into or the American actor and I was to go wrong. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, or like for example today, I don't know if you caught this one, Bob, maybe when you were talking with buzzes happened, but Missile shot from Iran.

[SPEAKER_10]: They don't know if it was meant to be shot at Turkey or if it was just an accident. [SPEAKER_10]: But it kind of went over Turkey and part of Iraq and so they're like it maybe I'm going great great because if it actually if they do fire at anything that hits anything in Europe Um hello, then we got World War III because article five NATO hello Jackasses. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, they kind of already did because I didn't a missile hit Cyprus Is Cyprus part of NATO?

[SPEAKER_09]: Cyprus is [SPEAKER_10]: So this is, I mean, we're, we're in that, we're in that. [SPEAKER_10]: This is this whole thing with Donald going around. [SPEAKER_10]: And oh, did you hear that he's sending military people into Ecuador now because, you know, we didn't have enough war going on. [SPEAKER_10]: We need more war in South America too. [SPEAKER_09]: You know, okay, you know what cypress is a member of the EU, not right. [SPEAKER_10]: See, I was going to say okay.

[SPEAKER_10]: There we go. [SPEAKER_10]: Cypress. [SPEAKER_10]: E. You got winning track record today with my. [SPEAKER_05]: No, look, look. [SPEAKER_05]: You're fine. [SPEAKER_10]: And you've had a couple of drinks. [SPEAKER_10]: It's fine. [SPEAKER_10]: You're right. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, the alcoholism, which isn't. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, I think it's not a thing for him at all. [SPEAKER_10]: Bob is not an alcoholic at all, but, but, you know, look, some respect is water.

[SPEAKER_10]: It's fine for the lemon in it, whatever it's all good. [SPEAKER_10]: But my, my whole thing is just the fact of just the stupidity, of the way that they are handling this. [SPEAKER_10]: You can go to the just the people. [SPEAKER_10]: You've got somewhere between, depending on how you count it, 300,000, I think, 600 or 700,000 Americans that live in the area. [SPEAKER_10]: They decide to go, we're gonna start a war. [SPEAKER_10]: Everybody needs to close down their airspace.

[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, and by the way, if you're an American, you need to get out of there. [SPEAKER_10]: Go find a commercial flight or something, even though there's no commercial flights because you just closed down on the airspace. [SPEAKER_05]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, by the way, people got out. [SPEAKER_09]: There are UK military bases on Cyprus. [SPEAKER_05]: There are.

[SPEAKER_10]: There are, but there's also the fact that the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, basically a lot of our allies are saying, you can't use our air bases for jumping off points for your war in the ran. [SPEAKER_05]: The Spain and the UK for sure. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I heard Germany earlier today too, because I was... And France is stepping up their nuclear stuff. [SPEAKER_10]: Yes, stepping up their nuclear posture. [SPEAKER_10]: I think we had that in yesterday's news on tap.

[SPEAKER_10]: I, this is just not good. [SPEAKER_10]: This is so, not good. [SPEAKER_10]: This is so stupid. [SPEAKER_10]: And we're not helping ourselves in, no, one of the universities isn't helping economically. [SPEAKER_10]: No, it isn't helping with, you know, if they're worried about our war footing, [SPEAKER_10]: Um, Iran is basically, you know, strapping bombs to the bottom of a drone that they bought off of Amazon and making what they call a one way drone.

[SPEAKER_10]: And we're, I've got guided missile, whatever, blah, blah, blah, how much did that cost? [SPEAKER_10]: About $11 million. [SPEAKER_10]: Really? [SPEAKER_10]: Well, you know, 30 bucks at Amazon and we stuck this piece of C4 on it. [SPEAKER_10]: And yeah, we did some damage. [SPEAKER_10]: And you're going, this is just, this is deep. [SPEAKER_10]: This was the dumbest thing. [SPEAKER_10]: And yet, sure enough, hey, Donald Trump, dumbest thing.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, you said yesterday, Bob, about how we, uh, the Kuwaiti shot down three of our F-15s. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, friendly fire, right. [SPEAKER_05]: Right. [SPEAKER_05]: And so it costs as much as doesh saved. [SPEAKER_10]: Malcolm doesn't even think that it was an accident. [SPEAKER_10]: He thinks it might have been on purpose, too. [SPEAKER_10]: Which? [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, the Kuwaiti's are shooting us down.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yay. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, that, that individual pilot, right? [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, and you know, this whole thing, this whole attack against Iran was supposed to be because Iran was about to attack the United States and Israel and our bases. [SPEAKER_09]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: And here they are. [SPEAKER_09]: And here they are. [SPEAKER_10]: They're sort of street.

[SPEAKER_09]: We're being, yeah, then here they are attacking our bases and they're attacking Israel. [SPEAKER_09]: So. [SPEAKER_09]: What were they what I don't understand the pre-just remember any remember.

[SPEAKER_10]: I was also supposed to be Remember we absolutely totally obliterated their nuclear program and also we were attacking them to prevent their nuclear program from doing damage because And you put a graph up today Bob about how the nuclear stuff Well, and then went way up [SPEAKER_10]: on your socials. [SPEAKER_10]: I saw I think I I think I reposted that on a couple of different social your social channels on that too.

[SPEAKER_09]: So the JCPOA, the Iran nuclear Israel, the Obama land deals it's known, something that Donald Trump, I'm sure has not read a single word of. [SPEAKER_09]: He can't read. [SPEAKER_09]: Never defined what the acronym JCPOA stands for. [SPEAKER_09]: Joint comprehensive plan of action is what it stands for. [SPEAKER_09]: But this was an agreement that severely restricted Iran's ability to enrich uranium down to below. [SPEAKER_09]: I think 3.67% nuclear enrichment uranium enrichment.

[SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: And when Donald withdrew from the JCPOI, the Iran deal, a fast forward a couple of quarters after that, the Iran nuclear enrichment of uranium [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_10]: And so and climbing and no longer no longer have any restrictions on it. [SPEAKER_10]: Why not? [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: And we did not annihilate or obliterate any all of its nuclear capabilities like July. [SPEAKER_09]: That did not happen.

[SPEAKER_09]: That was a Donald Trump lie. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: Lead obvious by the fact that we had to go back in now. [SPEAKER_09]: And who would it go? [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: And he was justifying it by saying there were still dust leftover or whatever BS. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry, because there's no adequate pretext for any of it. [SPEAKER_10]: No, you know, did either of you guys see the, the presser earlier today, the media has been really stupid about this, too.

[SPEAKER_10]: Anytime they're going on, they're going back to, let's just turn on the camera and walk away. [SPEAKER_10]: They had on Carolina, and they did that earlier, and they, and they, when they had on Kegbreath and, um, uh, General Kane.

[SPEAKER_10]: So the, the contrast between the two, [SPEAKER_10]: as somebody on social media camera who was noticed the the sobriety level between uh... it was actually you know you have general can't who was very sober and very you know fact based and you have keg breath and you're like oh my god just [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, he, he, he exact is like a YouTube cometer. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, I mean, that's about the level he's at. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, he'll never stop being like a local news weatherman.

[SPEAKER_09]: That best to local news weatherman. [SPEAKER_10]: Even if he had not a funny or pretty, well, even if, well, when I'm saying, even if even if Donald never picked him for this, the best that he could ever have been was a weekend host at Fox. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_10]: And so they can run in the morning? [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, no, not the morning's not not comfy couch.

[SPEAKER_10]: Nope. [SPEAKER_10]: He's not even good enough for that comfy couch on the weekends Because he's not that good. [SPEAKER_10]: He wasn't good enough for the daily Fox and friends. [SPEAKER_05]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_10]: He wasn't good enough for the five second stringer He was like the you know Dealist F-list although I personally have him on my f-u list if I've ever seen him on this with a few but that's [SPEAKER_10]: But yeah, he was, I mean, what a jackass.

[SPEAKER_05]: He lives there some friends of mine, by the way. [SPEAKER_05]: They see him jog. [SPEAKER_10]: Hmm. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, really? [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I just, I'm like, she wants to punch him. [SPEAKER_05]: And so does her husband. [SPEAKER_05]: And it's like, that's, that's not jogging, Jody. [SPEAKER_09]: I hate to break it to your neighbors. [SPEAKER_09]: But not jogging.

[SPEAKER_09]: This is Pete Higg's death running to the next nearest bar. [SPEAKER_05]: Probably with a serious service.

[SPEAKER_05]: Definitely six a.m. [SPEAKER_10]: no that absolutely makes sense that's that's the thing your your neighbors if they actually really wanted to do something especially if he jogs on that that same route every day they could do things like put bubble gum on the sidewalk they could you know banna peels I mean you know my two friends are also deaf so they could do it without anybody knowing because they know how to be quiet

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, this is true as much as people think that deaf people are allowed. [SPEAKER_05]: No, no, no, no, no, they know how to be quiet. [SPEAKER_10]: I think is as if he ran into them. [SPEAKER_10]: If he actually, you know, caught them doing it and he yell at them. [SPEAKER_10]: And they just deaf. [SPEAKER_10]: Sorry, I'm deaf. [SPEAKER_10]: I don't understand. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm deaf.

[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: But, of course, he'd probably just think, they're just waving their hands. [SPEAKER_10]: What are they doing? [SPEAKER_10]: What's the sign for war fighters? [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I can do so many times for that, but they're not the right times. [SPEAKER_10]: Right. [SPEAKER_10]: And also, I'm sure your friends would have a sign for him that he would understand. [SPEAKER_05]: There is no, he's not.

[SPEAKER_05]: This, which is a lot of war fighter. [SPEAKER_05]: It just means a whole, there's so many a whole signs, so I can show you. [SPEAKER_10]: Usually I think when a whole sign is if it's as fox behind them, that's just a whole sign. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, true. [SPEAKER_09]: There it is, yep. [SPEAKER_10]: He is. [SPEAKER_10]: God, I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_10]: I did not realize that about your neighbor's journey. [SPEAKER_10]: They're good people. [SPEAKER_05]: They are.

[SPEAKER_05]: They're my best. [SPEAKER_05]: My best lady girlfriend and her husband whom I love. [SPEAKER_10]: Which is, it's good. [SPEAKER_10]: It's good. [SPEAKER_10]: There are, there are, I just, I would not have hired Pete as, as somebody who does media stuff, I would have never hired Pete Higgs-F for anything. [SPEAKER_10]: No. [SPEAKER_10]: I wouldn't have hired him as a talent, and I sure as hell wouldn't have hired him as a producer. [SPEAKER_10]: No. [SPEAKER_10]: And yet.

[SPEAKER_09]: But now he's secretary of defense that war in the Middle East that's expanded to other nations and could bring in the I miss runs felt. [SPEAKER_10]: I miss runs felt. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: Okay. [SPEAKER_10]: Okay. [SPEAKER_10]: He made you miss Rumsfeld. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_05]: That's how bad he is. [SPEAKER_09]: good lord. [SPEAKER_09]: It's horrifying and we're giggling here because it's easier to do that.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, look, it's something you just need to distract. [SPEAKER_10]: So here's my thought. [SPEAKER_10]: People if they need a distraction, they can go and actually, you know, for example, listen or watch track politics. [SPEAKER_10]: Because you and Mary, what are you guys talking about on this week's episode of track politics?

[SPEAKER_09]: what well the most recent episode we talked about uh... mudge women right nice one next week we're this coming up Sunday we're talking about uh... i mud which is the mud episode that's the other okay yeah it's the other other one of your talking about like that well we're doing a whole series on my body

[SPEAKER_10]: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't

[SPEAKER_10]: You have a little lemon in his water, he's fine, and he's going to see it next week. [SPEAKER_10]: Tomorrow, John Fuego will be back in the bar, and we will see you back in the bar as well. [SPEAKER_10]: See you tomorrow night, here's the politics bar.
