[SPEAKER_09]: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha- [SPEAKER_09]: And it's not a fake, nice, we're also kind, which I think matters. [SPEAKER_09]: So even one or not, this is early, nice, we're still kind.

[SPEAKER_09]: The folks who are in Mago World, the folks who kiss Donnie's ass, the folks who worship at his gold statue. [SPEAKER_09]: That thing. [SPEAKER_09]: I cannot freaking believe this. [SPEAKER_03]: Do you know the other people that created and are writing this season of the boys? [SPEAKER_03]: There's literally a gold statue of homelander, and they're like, I cannot believe he just did that.

[SPEAKER_09]: I can't believe that they actually, he had one of his fake religious, and I say they're fake because as John Fugosanks says, they're not actually Christian, but one of his pastors be like, oh, no, it's perfectly fine, it's like, it's a golden God's people, it's in the Bible. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, if you're a Christian and the Bible is your thing, there's literally a big huge story about do not worship a golden God, and that is litre.

[SPEAKER_03]: The Golden Path, I believe, is what they call it. [SPEAKER_03]: It's just, it's so like, and apparently the sculptor has yet to get paid. [SPEAKER_09]: Why does that not surprise me?

[SPEAKER_09]: and he said it was a pain in the ass to do if they wanted to make him look thinner that that that that that that that that that I mean is there are by the way a i multiple a i images of a a fatter uglier dumber Donald trump uh... and while he is doing kind of a hand salute it's not the nazi salute so if he wanted these right he's doing of he's he's he's giving you a fisting well no he's doing what he did when he came up after he got shot right right but that's it he'll jokingly say that he's he's giving a fisting which

[SPEAKER_09]: for those of you who don't really like it. [SPEAKER_09]: This is true, Josh Malay is a fish thing. [SPEAKER_09]: Fisting, a fishing option. [SPEAKER_03]: He is. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes. [SPEAKER_09]: Anywho. [SPEAKER_09]: We actually, we decided not to put that one in the news collage today. [SPEAKER_09]: It was, it was there. [SPEAKER_09]: It was an option. [SPEAKER_09]: But I'm sure, you know, you guys, there is a story that's in the news on tap today.

[SPEAKER_09]: And you guys can click on that one. [SPEAKER_09]: Happens to be able to even the miscellaneous section. [SPEAKER_09]: I just, what the hell? [SPEAKER_09]: Seriously? [SPEAKER_09]: The mythical writers who are writing the reality that we're living in, it's like, you got to be kidding me. [SPEAKER_05]: Really? [SPEAKER_09]: I've said for a while now, for example, the Secretary of Transportation. [SPEAKER_09]: I've just called him a Secretary of Road Rules.

[SPEAKER_09]: Because I remember hearing about this when they talked about it. [SPEAKER_09]: And like, nobody talked about it for months. [SPEAKER_09]: I was waiting for somebody here in the bar. [SPEAKER_09]: I was waiting for somebody somewhere to be like, oh, yeah, yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: He's actually doing like a road rules thing. [SPEAKER_09]: No, he really is. [SPEAKER_09]: He spent seven months of your tax dollars. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think he was out every day for seven months first off.

[SPEAKER_03]: But secondly, I remember I listened this morning to Stephanie, Chris kept going, wait, he had a trailer and it had the logo on it. [SPEAKER_03]: It's like, no, no, no, there is a trailer to watch. [SPEAKER_03]: They released a video trailer because this is going to be advertised a lot. [SPEAKER_09]: Right, this is supposed to be like a reality show and I'm sitting here going needs driving a gross country with this family and gas, oh yeah, okay.

[SPEAKER_09]: So today, the AAA average for gas prices for today, let me see here. [SPEAKER_09]: I believe it is $4.52 same price today is yesterday. [SPEAKER_09]: So at least there's that one month ago was 413, one year ago, it was 313. [SPEAKER_09]: It's 58% higher than at the start of the war and Republicans do not want to talk. [SPEAKER_03]: I can't do not talk about that.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, we've got those stories in the first round of news on tap tonight by the way Trump rejected Iran's latest offer, which was basically similar to the JCPOA a couple of the things The Trump regime was demanding of Iran that they not have anything nuclear including nuclear power no no nuclear for 20 years [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to increase that.

[SPEAKER_09]: No, no, no, no, even the JCP always said that they could have for nuclear power, but this is not yet no. [SPEAKER_09]: So they're like, you know, we're not going to take that. [SPEAKER_09]: And he's like, well, if you don't take it, then fine, I'm not going to do the deal here. [SPEAKER_09]: They're like, okay. [SPEAKER_09]: We'll be back again tomorrow.

[SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_09]: in the meantime everybody else is spending thousands and thousands of dollars more on energy while the rest of the world rapidly moves to green energy and continues to pay less we're continuing to pay more. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, and by the way, Trump and Rubio are still looking at Cuba for an all new shiny war because he's tired of money has. [SPEAKER_03]: It's just like how much money do they want us to spend? [SPEAKER_09]: They don't look at that.

[SPEAKER_09]: It's it's nothing that they look at. [SPEAKER_09]: They don't care how much [SPEAKER_09]: because they're not spending it. [SPEAKER_09]: It doesn't affect them. [SPEAKER_09]: The Republican Modern Republican Model, remember, I've got mine FU. [SPEAKER_09]: They don't care how much it hurts you. [SPEAKER_09]: They don't care how much it hurts me. [SPEAKER_10]: They don't care how much it hurts anybody and it's what they don't care about us. [SPEAKER_09]: Ha ha ha, us?

[SPEAKER_09]: They know they don't care about us. [SPEAKER_09]: And any Republican who kisses Donald Trump says and bows it as stupid as gold statue, they don't care about us either. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, and he doesn't care about them.

[SPEAKER_09]: Right, right, this is the, like I said, I've got mine, F.U. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, I mean, all those Republicans think and as long as they each individually have their own, they couldn't, if you put [SPEAKER_09]: The Republican members of Congress in a, you know that that horror movie saw never saw it, but I know of it. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: If you put him in like a puzzle room and you said, look, you each have a piece of the puzzle.

[SPEAKER_09]: You all have to work together to get out of the room. [SPEAKER_09]: They'd all die. [SPEAKER_09]: And I'm not recommending that, but they'd all die because they can't work together. [SPEAKER_09]: Like the the first one to put the piece together would be like, I'm out close the door. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, I've been complaining for decades about how we spend our money in this country.

[SPEAKER_03]: And my biggest complaint is we spend too much on defense and not enough on things that the country needs. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know, bridges that don't fall down, planes that don't hit pedestrians on the runway, health care, health care, gets family leave. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, basic basic things that are good for everybody. [SPEAKER_03]: No matter what your station is in life.

[SPEAKER_09]: I don't think this is, I'm going to be talking at a school when I say this, but my brother Matthew, he's made this somewhat public. [SPEAKER_09]: In fact, actually, there was an article in it and I was starting line about it actually. [SPEAKER_09]: So I can perfectly make it. [SPEAKER_09]: I can perfectly talk about it because it's out there. [SPEAKER_09]: His biggest single reason that my brother, my brother, my next youngest brother,

[SPEAKER_09]: is moving it's is in Germany now is is there he's going to be you know he's starting his life there he's landing on you know living there for the rest of his come back and visit occasionally but he's got crones disease close okay um he takes a medication that just the medication this doesn't cover the office visit the class of the office visit or the cost everyone's a while for the the uh check up and yet it just medication 85 thousand dollars a year here in the

[SPEAKER_09]: What are what he pays over there, Germany? [SPEAKER_03]: Nothing or very little. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, nothing. [SPEAKER_09]: Zero. [SPEAKER_09]: Squad. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, yeah, I mean, one of my dad had cancer and this isn't late 80s. [SPEAKER_03]: Early 90s, mind you. [SPEAKER_03]: His medications were 50 grand a year. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: And even though people say, oh, what we're going is insurance.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, but that's part of my brother's issue is that because your insurance is either through a job or it's through the ACA. [SPEAKER_09]: But of course, you have to deal with all kinds of secondary and tertiary costs and juggling. [SPEAKER_09]: And if you want to move from here to there, and it's still a massive pain in the ass as much as much benefit of the ACA was.

[SPEAKER_09]: And it was great before the Republicans [SPEAKER_09]: It's still $85,000 a year, is the line item cost when you see it on the thing. [SPEAKER_09]: And my brother says, I'd wake up every single day, worried that I'd lose my job, worried that I couldn't afford the ACA payments, worried that, you know, what the hell do I do, every because it's not a medication that he can be without. [SPEAKER_09]: Without it, his system goes, hey, wire. [SPEAKER_09]: And then he really can't eat.

[SPEAKER_09]: And then you die in a very painful way. [SPEAKER_09]: And he's really not into that. [SPEAKER_09]: So he moved to Germany. [SPEAKER_09]: So that he doesn't have to worry about that. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Tom Harman lived there for a while. [SPEAKER_03]: He always touts German health care.

[SPEAKER_09]: Right, but the point is is that we shouldn't have to have our family members and our friends literally pick up their entire lives and move to a whole other country just because our goddamn government can't get their heads out of their ass and instead of putting money into stupid ass wars and Iran, which we knew we didn't need to go through any way. [SPEAKER_09]: One of the other stories, it's in that first round. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm glad you had it, Jody.

[SPEAKER_09]: It actually was of all places in from Fox. [SPEAKER_09]: The Fox propaganda network that occasionally has some news. [SPEAKER_09]: This particular counterterrorism chief former Trump counterterrorism chief. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm trying to remember his name I don't off top my head, but he confirmed the U.S. Intel community agreed that before the war Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon and we knew it. [SPEAKER_09]: And they confirmed it.

[SPEAKER_09]: Also, by the way, this story about Israel built into finnities, secret Iran war base in Iraq Before we ever went into the war, so [SPEAKER_09]: Israel was planning on it, some of the Iraqis accidentally found out about it. [SPEAKER_03]: A shepherd saw, I guess, initially. [SPEAKER_09]: Sure, some of the Iranians knew about it. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, I'm sure. [SPEAKER_09]: So everybody knew about it except Donald Trump.

[SPEAKER_09]: And baby said, hey, and then, of course, here's the kicker. [SPEAKER_09]: Net Yahoo on 60 minutes. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, yes. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, on that channel, CBS. [SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_09]: For the first time, he openly admitted that he wants Israel to quote, draw down to zero. [SPEAKER_09]: The financial support from the U.S. [SPEAKER_09]: Which basically means he's going to leave Donald the U.S. Holding the bag.

[SPEAKER_09]: Meanwhile, my brother moved to Germany because he can't get health care in this country. [SPEAKER_09]: So just, for those of you who were like, you guys have fun at the bar, you guys, you know, but this stuff doesn't touch you. [SPEAKER_09]: No, no, no, it actually does. [SPEAKER_09]: It actually does. [SPEAKER_09]: We have some more stuff we get to talk about. [SPEAKER_09]: There's obviously the war against democracy, the Republicans are aiming at everybody here.

[SPEAKER_09]: We obviously, we have a very solid drink of the day. [SPEAKER_09]: It's a little bit unusual. [SPEAKER_09]: But, you know, look, what fresh in your drink come on back, it's Monday night with Jody and me and you. [SPEAKER_09]: Here's the politics bar.

[SPEAKER_09]: He posted a link to a story about men trying to, and I kid you not quote, I saw that. [SPEAKER_09]: I saw that. [SPEAKER_09]: You saw that. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: I said it's your fault. [SPEAKER_09]: He said he said, hey, Jody, look what you made me post. [SPEAKER_09]: Look at this.

[SPEAKER_03]: Allison Gill said it's a gender-affirming care. [SPEAKER_09]: I'll go with that, AJ. [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what that is. [SPEAKER_03]: It's just, I read the, Lonnie was like, why? [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, I don't know. [SPEAKER_03]: And then this one guy goes, I think women would like that. [SPEAKER_03]: No, not at all. [SPEAKER_03]: Not even a little bit. [SPEAKER_03]: No. [SPEAKER_03]: And if you think it makes your, [SPEAKER_03]: other parts of your body look bigger.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's not it's going to make that thing look smaller. [SPEAKER_09]: Smaller, uh, per perspective for those people who don't understand perspective drawing to go go read about it. [SPEAKER_09]: I, uh, look, women are not beating down the door to to date guys with elephant Titus. [SPEAKER_09]: They're just. [SPEAKER_03]: No. [SPEAKER_09]: Go look that up. [SPEAKER_03]: And have you ever seen mice when they're adult males? [SPEAKER_03]: They're basically the same size as human males.

[SPEAKER_03]: So they drag them. [SPEAKER_03]: These poor things, it's just like, oh, babies. [SPEAKER_09]: You know, I'm just going to say it's not anything that I think any normal pain. [SPEAKER_03]: It's a useful, they're very useful. [SPEAKER_03]: They're important. [SPEAKER_03]: But they're not the most attractive things on the planet. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: They have a function. [SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely. [SPEAKER_03]: They're necessary.

[SPEAKER_03]: Wow. [SPEAKER_10]: Put me really guys. [SPEAKER_03]: It's just like, what are you guys thinking? [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, they watch Fox. [SPEAKER_03]: So. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, then you can tan them like, uh, Tucker Carlson, right? [SPEAKER_03]: Remember that? [SPEAKER_09]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: I, any who, okay, yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry Tom, I'm sorry Tom. [SPEAKER_09]: It's okay, I, Tom, I'm still blaming you.

[SPEAKER_09]: Go to the same, you know, time and not time and about. [SPEAKER_09]: Anyway, uh, back to the news, uh, it's on behalf of work today. [SPEAKER_09]: In the second round, the uncivil war at home, this is the rights war on democracy. [SPEAKER_09]: Um, and this is, this is one of the big things that I have a very big issue with. [SPEAKER_09]: She's a Democrats. [SPEAKER_09]: This is not complicated, man.

[SPEAKER_09]: Virginia Democrats are appealing the redistricting ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. [SPEAKER_09]: So thank you for that. [SPEAKER_09]: It shows that that's basic stuff. [SPEAKER_09]: But, Span Broder, my governor, who I've applauded for everything. [SPEAKER_09]: We've said this before. [SPEAKER_09]: Praise when do and criticism too. [SPEAKER_09]: And the fact of the matter is, the hell are you thinking Abigail? [SPEAKER_09]: She's like, well, we don't want to push it too much.

[SPEAKER_09]: The hell is wrong with you? [SPEAKER_09]: The hell is wrong with you? [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, but is it legal for her to bring a special session in and vote it in with the legislature, then that that should be not.

[SPEAKER_09]: In fact, what what Carolyn said last week is absolutely true, Carolyn said that they could, they could, in fact, bring a special session redo law there, there was a, there's a length that we have in the second round and night and innovative idea on how Virginia Democrats can overturn the redistricting ruling, they could just lower the age of basically that the ceiling for the Supreme Court of Virginia. [SPEAKER_09]: But then some time it they could set it at say 54 and all of them.

[SPEAKER_09]: Sorry. [SPEAKER_03]: But didn't somebody also post that if you did that you'd get rid of three good judges. [SPEAKER_09]: This is true and also the only African American judge that's on the scuba right now spring court of Virginia, huh? [SPEAKER_09]: Which I get that and that's fine. [SPEAKER_09]: But the idea is for God's sake, show up and fight. [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, Jesus, Democrat. [SPEAKER_03]: Are there any of those judges up for reelection?

[SPEAKER_03]: Because they're not appointed. [SPEAKER_03]: They're elected. [SPEAKER_09]: Two of the douchebag Republican judges within the next two cycles. [SPEAKER_09]: One this next cycle and so one this fall and one in 28 are going to be up. [SPEAKER_09]: And that's fine. [SPEAKER_09]: We absolutely should get rid of them. [SPEAKER_09]: But that's not, it's not even necessarily the point, Joe. [SPEAKER_09]: It's the fact that, and I'm with you on this.

[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, I get looking at the details. [SPEAKER_09]: This is what folks like you and I do. [SPEAKER_09]: We're Democrats. [SPEAKER_09]: We look at the machine. [SPEAKER_09]: We see, okay, well, how could we make machine work? [SPEAKER_09]: But, and especially since, you know that the stage graph, the show portion of the show is Democrats really need to relearn political stage graph. [SPEAKER_09]: what Democrats can do. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, in Ohio, we've got a link today.

[SPEAKER_09]: Happens to be in the news on tap in that second round. [SPEAKER_09]: Virginia Jams can just ignore the Supreme Court of Virginia ruling, because Ohio were pumping on 2022. [SPEAKER_09]: Their map that they have, it's still, it's an illegal map, and they go, what you're going to do? [SPEAKER_09]: Make me. [SPEAKER_09]: And the Supreme Court of Ohio has not changed it. [SPEAKER_09]: The US Supreme Court has not changed it because they don't have anybody that could go and force it.

[SPEAKER_09]: They just go, well, it's illegal, okay? [SPEAKER_09]: And what you going to do about it, boy, make me. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, can the legislature read your own maps if they wanted to legally? [SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely, they could go back in and they could redraw it with this particular thing. [SPEAKER_09]: They could, I mean, they're all. [SPEAKER_03]: That's what I would do. [SPEAKER_03]: Because they, one, but the votes were there. [SPEAKER_03]: So the electorate wants it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Therefore, it's not like Florida or Tennessee or other places that didn't even go to their voters. [SPEAKER_03]: We're at least at this point. [SPEAKER_09]: Virginia legislature be called into a special session and do what Florida and Texas.

[SPEAKER_03]: if that's legal in their state under their state constitution, which unless it's not legal then they can't do it because I know that there was the two sessions that had to happen but that happened and all this stuff has been illegal now for at least four years under under Ohio's constitution or under a court order under a court order and under their own God station both. [SPEAKER_09]: Well that's ridiculous.

[SPEAKER_09]: Well but yeah but the the question is what's you going to do? [SPEAKER_09]: How are you going to enforce it? [SPEAKER_09]: So the idea of the Democrats go well you know [SPEAKER_09]: Shut up about Roberts rules of order and shut up about being nice, stop being nice enough. [SPEAKER_09]: Enough of that. [SPEAKER_09]: I love Katie Faggot love to have her here in the bar we said before we've reached out to her heard her on stepshell.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh no, when Stephanie said the producer before Chris, I'm like, I emailed her so many times. [SPEAKER_09]: I felt you trying to reach out and smack the radio at that point, anyway. [SPEAKER_09]: But Katie said, look, you know, that ignoring the ruling is an option, but Virginia Democrats should still try to stay within the law. [SPEAKER_03]: Why? [SPEAKER_03]: Because if we, okay, counterpoint, if we don't follow the law, then we have no laws in this country.

[SPEAKER_09]: even if then I can I can go out and I can I don't matter what we do, Jody law or no law. [SPEAKER_09]: We still have more integrity in our pinky finger than the current Republican party does. [SPEAKER_03]: I know that. [SPEAKER_09]: I know that. [SPEAKER_09]: I know because we give a damn about how people deal with life, about how they're represented, about how their government works or doesn't work for them.

[SPEAKER_09]: So. [SPEAKER_09]: I understand that this would be a situation where you'd say normally this is bad, but you know what, at this point, there are a ton of Democrats, and I got to say, I'm included with this, and a bunch of independence, and even a few of those, Michael Stiller publicans who are saying, you know what, but really don't give a damn about the laws anymore, because you know what, Republicans don't give a damn.

[SPEAKER_09]: So if we're going to do stuff to actually make things more fair, because remember, slavery was legal. [SPEAKER_09]: It was. [SPEAKER_09]: Women being second class citizens was legal. [SPEAKER_09]: They want those back. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, that's what the Republicans now want. [SPEAKER_09]: So at some point, if that's what they're saying, well, we're going to make this the law, we're going to say, you know what? [SPEAKER_09]: That's not fair. [SPEAKER_09]: So FU and FU laws.

[SPEAKER_09]: I have no problem with that. [SPEAKER_09]: What I have a problem with is Democrats going, well, but you know, the rules say, [SPEAKER_03]: Well, the difference between say what see what my issue is is Virginia did what California did and it was upheld in the United States Supreme Court. [SPEAKER_09]: So basically the Virginia Supreme Court technically the vote itself was not up for debate. [SPEAKER_09]: They didn't decide on the vote.

[SPEAKER_09]: They just said, well, procedurally technically the way you went about it skipped this thing, which is why it's being appealed to the Supreme Court because, you know, as Carol [SPEAKER_09]: If you believe, if you actually hold to the literal meaning of the words that the Republicans of the Supreme Court of Virginia said, so they said, and then of course you actually have to look at Virginia law, which it says this in multiple places, which is what Carolyn said.

[SPEAKER_09]: So they said that there's the election day, and then there's something that's called early voting, then legally separate from election day. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because I just, okay, so I voted for the California primary. [SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_03]: Um, ballot PDF got back to me and said my vote has been accepted and will be counted on election day. [SPEAKER_09]: Right.

[SPEAKER_09]: Here in Virginia, according to the stupid ass Republicans on the Supreme Court, State Supreme Court, they said that no, no, no, that election includes all of early vote, except Virginia law says that whatever you call an election is required to have an early voting period before it. [SPEAKER_09]: follow me on this one. [SPEAKER_09]: If every election includes not just the election day, which is legally what it says in Virginia law, but also the early vote.

[SPEAKER_09]: But there must be an early vote before every election. [SPEAKER_09]: So I take the election day and I extend it out three weeks to the early vote, except that's now election day. [SPEAKER_09]: So now I have to extend it out another three weeks beforehand. [SPEAKER_09]: But now that's actually election day. [SPEAKER_09]: So now I have to extend it out another three weeks before I'm now that's election day. [SPEAKER_09]: It's actually happening.

[SPEAKER_03]: Is that was at their argument that if you have early voting and no, but that's what their argument means in reality. [SPEAKER_09]: If you believe the actual words that they used and you live and you apply Virginia law, Virginia law says there is an early vote period before every election fine.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, but if the election isn't just the election day, but it also includes the early vote period, then you have to put an early vote period before the election, which is now three weeks plus a day, so you include another early vote and then it goes even further back I don't see how that says that because there has to be an early vote period for the election there was right hang on, but here's the thing election in Virginia law, regardless of what the Supreme Court of Virginia said is one day.

[SPEAKER_09]: So let's ignore what the Supreme Court of Virginia said for a moment. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_09]: Election is one day. [SPEAKER_09]: You have an early vote period of three weeks. [SPEAKER_09]: Fine. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: Now, according to this stupid ruling of the Virginia Supreme Court said, you have three weeks and a day is the entire election. [SPEAKER_09]: Now that's the election.

[SPEAKER_09]: except wait a minute if that period is the election quote unquote you still have to have an early vote period before the election so now it's six weeks and a day except because it's connected now six weeks and a day is the election so now you have to put another three before that that makes sense it means that you have a perpetual election forever going backwards in time which is stupid because that's literally not how it works

[SPEAKER_09]: You mean that every time you said another election day, every day is election day, which I get we like to vote here in Virginia But that's just not how that works That's why election is only one day and not what the Supreme Court of Virginia said which is three weeks in a day Well, there's To me the election day is the deadline.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's the last day [SPEAKER_09]: You are correct, Jodie, because you have read the law and you understand the words, but the Republicans in the Supreme Court of Virginia say, no, no, that three weeks plus a day, that has to be the whole election. [SPEAKER_03]: So conceivably, I could vote the day after it, because then the new election cycle hasn't just begun. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, we're in perpetual election forever, right?

[SPEAKER_09]: it's the stupidest decision and it's and it's the fact that they didn't rule on the merits of the bill. [SPEAKER_09]: They didn't rule on the merits of the vote. [SPEAKER_09]: The 1.6 million Virginians, I think it was voted. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, let's let's temporarily change the maps and 1.4 said no, but overall 3 million people voted and they went, yeah, your votes don't go. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they throughout the election itself.

[SPEAKER_03]: They didn't they throughout the votes. [SPEAKER_03]: They they overturned the overturned an election based on [SPEAKER_09]: right and Republicans have been trying this and they're going to do what they're going to do with throughout the Confederate south. [SPEAKER_09]: They're doing all of this type of stuff.

[SPEAKER_09]: So with Republicans are going to find a technicality here and a technicality there and ignore the law at every single moment they can just so they can ram through whatever they want, then F that. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry, but when the other team has flamethrowers and machetes and nuclear bombs and you're standing there with a pocket knife. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, I got my other stuff in home.

[SPEAKER_09]: You bring the right weapons to the fight Democrats, and you stand up and you do the performative stuff. [SPEAKER_09]: You do the stagecraft that's necessary. [SPEAKER_09]: Even if you as the Governor Governor Spanberger know that, you know, maybe that's not necessarily the right thing. [SPEAKER_09]: What, guess what? [SPEAKER_09]: You still do the performative stagecraft anyway.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I think that our current governor is talking to our legislature about temporarily doing [SPEAKER_03]: the whole state blue and again everybody that's freaking out everybody that's freaking out about what happened and might stick in in Virginia just because their old map might go through does not mean that those red districts are going to be red all we got somebody in South Carolina who knows all about that [SPEAKER_09]: Jim Clyburn.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, he's had in Georgia Tyrant, but he's basically been a member of the house since Bethuse, a little walk the earth. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's he's he's not a youngster anymore. [SPEAKER_09]: Anybody who knows North Carolina knows Clyburn knows this stuff. [SPEAKER_09]: And well, we North Carolina's a purple state. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, very much. [SPEAKER_09]: It's, it's, it's basically 50, 50. [SPEAKER_09]: It's South Carolina, pardon me. [SPEAKER_09]: I can get my Caroline.

[SPEAKER_09]: He's mixed up some 360. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, I'm, I'm thirsty. [SPEAKER_09]: Can, can we do drink the day coming up? [SPEAKER_03]: Sure. [SPEAKER_03]: I say 12, my mustache. [SPEAKER_09]: For those of you who know, you know, and for those of you who don't, you should get subscribed, but just wax it up into a little curl. [SPEAKER_09]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: We're a floppy clock. [SPEAKER_09]: That too. [SPEAKER_09]: That'll work. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, drink the day coming up next.

[SPEAKER_09]: And we'll play a little Clyburn too. [SPEAKER_09]: Hang on. [SPEAKER_09]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar. [SPEAKER_09]: you know, whatever your mother figure, I don't mind. [SPEAKER_09]: It's not a judge on any of that. [SPEAKER_09]: So maybe maybe you gave your mom a subscription to the politics bar dot com podcast. [SPEAKER_09]: It's really easy.

[SPEAKER_09]: Look, you're listening on your favorite radio station right now, but maybe your mom listens one of her great affiliates and then she just sometimes gets busy. [SPEAKER_09]: You know, has dogs, cats, whatever. [SPEAKER_09]: So look, you can get her, even though it's past Mother's Day. [SPEAKER_09]: You can get her for her. [SPEAKER_09]: You can get her for your dad.

[SPEAKER_09]: With Father's Day coming up, it's really simply you can get it as a gift if you want as a gift subscription to the politics bar. [SPEAKER_09]: Just go there at the politicsbar.com and check all the details there. [SPEAKER_09]: All right, Jody, I meant to play this.

[SPEAKER_09]: I really want to play this, because this is Representative James Clyburn, a former member of Democratic leadership in the house, and I was, you know, I'm not a big fit of Jake Tapper, but he was talking with Tapper over the weekend, and, well, here's what he said. [SPEAKER_01]: This was a frame code two years ago, a spoke to this district and said, it was not unconstitutional. [SPEAKER_01]: But the president says, he wants them to redraw the lines anyway.

[SPEAKER_01]: All I'm going to say to that is, be very careful which you pray for, because what I believe is that when they finish with the redistricting, there will be the possibilities of LH3, Democrats getting elected here in South Carolina to the United States Congress. [SPEAKER_01]: A man. [SPEAKER_09]: Jim Clyburn. [SPEAKER_09]: Tell me. [SPEAKER_09]: And if anybody knows after you're on a better Jim Clyburn, please let me know.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well I mean it's not even just South Carolina, it's Texas, it's Florida, it's guys. [SPEAKER_03]: Just because it looks like you're picking your voters, doesn't necessarily mean you are. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, and especially, um, so today, okay, you know, uh, a Rasmussen polling there. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, generally not exactly reliable. [SPEAKER_09]: Very, very friendly to Republicans. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they skew heavily for a public end.

[SPEAKER_09]: Right, Rasmus and Poland today I believe has a plus nine Democrats plus nine the generic ballot 541 Rasmus which basically means that, you know, if you adjust it for them being so biased, it's probably somewhere closer to like plus 13 plus 15, which conveniently is the PVI that we've been talking about lately. [SPEAKER_09]: Told you guys that PVI is is right there. [SPEAKER_09]: It's a 13 and 15 and Republicans had been adjusting their maps based on a PVI of five.

[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_09]: So good luck with that Republicans. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, even in Tennessee, when they broke up the Memphis district, which they should not have done. [SPEAKER_03]: It could get three new Democrats. [SPEAKER_03]: They don't know. [SPEAKER_03]: They don't know. [SPEAKER_09]: And if every, here's the biggest thing. [SPEAKER_09]: You know this, Jody. [SPEAKER_09]: I don't know if anybody here in the bar went a guess.

[SPEAKER_09]: No. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_09]: Jody, you know. [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, you don't have to guess. [SPEAKER_09]: Who is the biggest single group of voters? [SPEAKER_09]: every year. [SPEAKER_09]: Is it Republicans? [SPEAKER_09]: Is it Democrats? [SPEAKER_09]: Is it independence? [SPEAKER_09]: Who is it? [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, just space. [SPEAKER_03]: I was going to say people over the age of 60. [SPEAKER_09]: But it's non-voters. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.

[SPEAKER_09]: It's people who are registered of vote or who could vote. [SPEAKER_09]: They haven't registered. [SPEAKER_09]: But they set the asses out and they didn't do a damn thing. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes. [SPEAKER_09]: The biggest single group of voters is people who don't vote. [SPEAKER_09]: If we can get some of those, if you guys want to know why the Republicans are still so wedded to the MAGA world, this is pretty simple.

[SPEAKER_09]: Before MAGA, before these nut jobs started to be pulled out of the woodwork by Newt Gingrich and mid-90s, Republicans knew if things continued on the line that they were, [SPEAKER_09]: They're going to get their asses kicked, probably by about 2004, they were going to be a party that couldn't win dog catcher race. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, they couldn't hold the house until the 1994. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, from 1940 something to 1994.

[SPEAKER_09]: And as they were getting more extreme, they knew if everybody who could vote did vote, Republicans would lose their asses everywhere. [SPEAKER_09]: But because so many people sit out and say things like, I don't know if I could vote for the black woman.

[SPEAKER_09]: folks, you got to get, if you're on the side of the good folks, you got to get registered and if you are, if you know somebody who is, they've got to get registered and you got to get every one of your good people out in vote. [SPEAKER_09]: Just how that's got to be. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, I realize vote harder is not the kind of solution that we want and there are other things that we can do, but vote harder is part of the solution.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, I get out the vote really was when MTV was actually music television. [SPEAKER_03]: The 1992 election. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that got people under the age of 30 out because they were watching MTV. [SPEAKER_09]: Right, and look, there are things I keep seeing. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm out to Kat to see if she wants to come in and talk about Capau. [SPEAKER_09]: Kat, Abigail Huu, you know, is listening to us on WCPT. [SPEAKER_09]: Thank you very much.

[SPEAKER_09]: And she's got this great organization, Capau, that is doing stuff. [SPEAKER_09]: You can go on her social media. [SPEAKER_09]: She's always got updates on what they're doing to help. [SPEAKER_09]: But it's a, it's a social community organization that is helping out people in a Chicago area. [SPEAKER_09]: That kind of thing, when you get out there and you're helping people, then you also say, well, what are you doing?

[SPEAKER_09]: And I'm sure a lot of those people are democratic voters and they will say, hey, you've got a vote for the person that's closest to me, which is going to be a democratic who will vote to help us out. [SPEAKER_09]: Like you were saying earlier about the monies going, you know, we don't want it to go to war. [SPEAKER_09]: We wanted to go to things like child care, like health care, like transportation, like New York City, with Mayor M. Danny, I mean, that's.

[SPEAKER_09]: And you know, we want the money that we're paying in to go to us for the things that we want to make our communities and our cities and our states and our wherever we live better. [SPEAKER_09]: There's no reason that that we shouldn't have better community transportation public transportation rural areas. [SPEAKER_09]: There's no reason that we shouldn't have. [SPEAKER_09]: There's no reason that we shouldn't have universal health care.

[SPEAKER_09]: There's no reason legitimately no reason other than will it would be complex.

[SPEAKER_09]: not really I think the current insurance system is way more complex than a simple well but the transition between this and that would be really complex but i'm also like okay so the Hoover down um exactly how easy was getting to the moon yeah uh that kind of thing hmm uh getting the civil rights act uh getting uh 13 14 and 15th amendments [SPEAKER_09]: There's a long history of us in America doing things that are really complex that are not easy to do.

[SPEAKER_09]: So the idea of it's hard, all it's hard. [SPEAKER_03]: Are they worried about people losing their gigs? [SPEAKER_03]: No, we expand everybody gets insurance from the time they're born to the time they die. [SPEAKER_03]: All the people that work for insurance companies now, guess what? [SPEAKER_03]: They get gigs. [SPEAKER_09]: Right, because somebody has to process the people. [SPEAKER_09]: And they would understand it.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, funny how that works just because they don't happen to have the gig with the same people look in Germany, one of the funny things that my brother told me about this and yes, we'll get to the drink of the day we'll do that soon, but you know, look the drink of the day days a little bit weird. [SPEAKER_09]: So if we do it in a little bit weird time, it's perfectly fine. [SPEAKER_09]: Those of you who don't know you'll get it anyway.

[SPEAKER_09]: So my brother was telling you about German healthcare and he says that their health insurance companies over there are all by law. [SPEAKER_09]: to be. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: When I was a kid, it was nonprofit. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, there's are. [SPEAKER_09]: And they don't make big tons of money.

[SPEAKER_09]: And they happen to have, like, if your family has, uh, cancer, you can still get separate insurers if you want on top of the the same in England, same in most places that have a universal health care system. [SPEAKER_03]: If you [SPEAKER_03]: more concierge service, or private service, you're going to get that if you pay. [SPEAKER_09]: Or if you have a family history of one disease or another that happens in a specialty care.

[SPEAKER_09]: But even then their health insurance that is especially health insurance isn't that much of an addition. [SPEAKER_09]: Now, so the fact that there are lots of complicated things that we could do, but it's the fact that our money right now is going to, I mean, just the tax cuts for the rich alone. [SPEAKER_03]: That's going into their pockets.

[SPEAKER_09]: The tax cuts from W. [SPEAKER_09]: from the W. Bush era, remember we had two of those because they had them and then they re-opt them because Trump had to re-upt them and then the Trump tax cuts from 2017 and then the big ugly bill tax cuts here from last year. [SPEAKER_09]: That is depending on the measurement that you look at, anywhere from 40 to 60% of the massive debt deficit that we're holding, they'd be massive amount of, oh my God, where the hell do we get this?

[SPEAKER_09]: Our national credit card that we're holding is tax cuts to the rich and to big corporations that we don't need. [SPEAKER_09]: We wipe all that out. [SPEAKER_09]: Wow, man. [SPEAKER_09]: We said, let me just go, you know what? [SPEAKER_09]: We can't afford your tax cuts. [SPEAKER_09]: Because tax cuts actually do cost money. [SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_09]: So, let's not spend the money that we don't have on tax cuts for people who don't need it.

[SPEAKER_09]: Or, you know, benefits too, say, big oil. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_09]: We'll give the benefits to green energy, which will actually multiply out the benefits that we give. [SPEAKER_05]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_09]: There's lots of things that we can do. [SPEAKER_09]: And yes, anything between then and now is going to be complicated and complex. [SPEAKER_09]: None of this is going to be easy, but lots of the stuff that we've done as a country before has happened.

[SPEAKER_03]: We already have Medicare, and that can be the model, and we already have veterans care, another model. [SPEAKER_03]: So we already have the patch works that we can just go model that, like we were talking about earlier with contracts, can we get a generic version of this contract so that we can give it to the person when they are going to, that's the model. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, there's the pandemic stuff that's going in, but the hunt of Iris, it's not like COVID.

[SPEAKER_09]: It's a little bit more spreading than they thought, but it's not anywhere near like COVID. [SPEAKER_03]: It's difficult to get. [SPEAKER_03]: But still. [SPEAKER_09]: I know this because you know, Nebraska. [SPEAKER_09]: The medicine in Omaha. [SPEAKER_09]: Um, they literally have a whole area that is equipped specifically for pandemic preparedness. [SPEAKER_09]: When the COVID pandemic started, when remember Ebola came from Africa, and here for a little bit, they handled that too.

[SPEAKER_09]: This is something where they are always prepared and always ready, and I can guarantee you that 99% of America doesn't know about it and doesn't think about it, and that doesn't mean that there aren't people who literally are in Omaha who [SPEAKER_09]: every single day. [SPEAKER_09]: They go through when they make sure that everything is prepped and everything is ready.

[SPEAKER_09]: They've been all the supplies are there that all supplies are refreshed that they work properly that they are up to date because they are prepared not for if there is another disease outbreak. [SPEAKER_09]: But for when? [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: And there are people who do that in all kinds of other things like you said like a blank contract. [SPEAKER_09]: That's what it is. [SPEAKER_09]: It's a blank contract [SPEAKER_09]: Great.

[SPEAKER_09]: But we also need to, you know, plan for the other things that are the basics in life. [SPEAKER_09]: Making sure that everybody has health care, making sure that our elderly are taken care. [SPEAKER_09]: Making sure that our kids are taken care of, that they get universal child care. [SPEAKER_09]: You know, there are lots of things that pretty much every other advanced nation has done.

[SPEAKER_09]: Every first world nation, some second world nation tells some third world nations have found some of these things. [SPEAKER_09]: They may have lived in dirt and squalor, but hey, they have medical care and you can get it. [SPEAKER_09]: We don't. [SPEAKER_09]: And it's a high pass time that we did long pass. [SPEAKER_09]: Wait, wait, wait. [SPEAKER_09]: And I'm just, you know, about this, just like the voting thing, any Democrat who isn't willing to be bold.

[SPEAKER_09]: And isn't willing to, if necessary, do a little stagecraft and say, you know what? [SPEAKER_09]: And yeah, maybe you're scrambling behind the scenes, but at the same time you're out there and saying, by God, we're going to fight, we're going to find a way to do it, do it. [SPEAKER_09]: And anybody who is not willing to be bold and stand up and not just take, but make some punches on this stuff, you don't need to be running for offices here.

[SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry, if you just sit there and go, well, we'll just do things the way we've always done them. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, you can go find something else to do. [SPEAKER_09]: not the time. [SPEAKER_09]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: Go on. [SPEAKER_09]: He's right. [SPEAKER_10]: Amen. [SPEAKER_09]: All right. [SPEAKER_09]: So we do need to do that drink of the day. [SPEAKER_09]: Um, and I do know the Brooklyn dad defined is coming in. [SPEAKER_03]: He is.

[SPEAKER_09]: So look, uh, I think what we'll do is we'll clean up a few of the drinks that we have around here. [SPEAKER_09]: Uh, we'll come back. [SPEAKER_09]: We'll do the drink of the day. [SPEAKER_09]: Uh, maybe talk to the entertainment. [SPEAKER_09]: Do you believe that, baby? [SPEAKER_09]: I'm always good with her music. [SPEAKER_09]: And of course, then by that point, Brooklyn dad will probably be rolling in the door. [SPEAKER_09]: So sound like a good plan. [SPEAKER_09]: Sounds great.

[SPEAKER_09]: And I saw you got a nice little picture there of Salvador Dolly as well. [SPEAKER_09]: Born in 1904. [SPEAKER_09]: So it would have been 122 mm-hmm.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Which, you know, he'd be like, okay. [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, weird concepts were not anything on New to Salvador Adale. [SPEAKER_09]: It's a great bio that you got in here. [SPEAKER_09]: I dropped in a couple of pictures extra that I found out there, the Dolly family. [SPEAKER_03]: I saw that. [SPEAKER_09]: The mom and dad, the, yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: I mean, you know, he had an interesting life. [SPEAKER_09]: That's for sure.

[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_09]: And I like the fact that you have a couple of his movies in there as well. [SPEAKER_09]: So those people who were like, what movies? [SPEAKER_09]: Yes. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Salvador Adale did. [SPEAKER_09]: He did cameos too in a bunch of different little movies, too. [SPEAKER_09]: You used to enjoy freaking people out. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes. [SPEAKER_09]: It's appearing in, you know, punk.

[SPEAKER_09]: Hey, mainstream movie, the hell's out of our dolly doing here. [SPEAKER_05]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_05]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_09]: So, you know, very cool. [SPEAKER_09]: And of course, obviously, like, you know, his most well-known painting, the persistence of memory, the melty clocks thing. [SPEAKER_09]: It's it's all good. [SPEAKER_09]: It's all it's it's very neat and I like the background that you did there for it I didn't do it. [SPEAKER_03]: I got it from his website.

[SPEAKER_03]: So that's all on that. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, I mean I you didn't actually know is biography.com Do I got it from them? [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, excellent. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, I did I did add the the picture there of the museum by the way that is there The Dali Tato Museum I have to say the museum it kind of looks it reminds me of Mario World a little bit Yeah [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, with the castle thing and the eggs, I'm almost expecting Yoshi to pop out.

[SPEAKER_09]: Which I mean, it's Dolly, so... You never know. [SPEAKER_09]: He probably like, that's cool. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: But what is cool is the drink? [SPEAKER_09]: I like this moondream cocktail. [SPEAKER_09]: it's a little bit different. [SPEAKER_09]: You may not have all the stuff, which is why I noticed that you linked to all the different things. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, certain things.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, yeah, you're going to kind of want to figure out where to get one of those. [SPEAKER_09]: So what is in a moon dream talk deal, Joe? [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, you're going to need a pre-chilled coop glass, a mixing glass, some ice, two fluid ounces, two ounces of Hayman's London dry-gen or any decent dry-gen, doesn't have to be Hayman's.

[SPEAKER_03]: Two thirds ounces of loose, loose-style manzanilla, papiru-sa, cherry, it's a cherry, a sixth [SPEAKER_09]: Okay, no idea what that is um, and let's see difference says let's see here that it's a Wait, it's kind of made of peaches. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, okay. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, made of red peaches. [SPEAKER_09]: That makes sense. [SPEAKER_09]: As a lot of peaches and citrus flavor.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that makes sense with the sherry I'm a six ounce of any driver remove face suggestural cheap, but you know, any driver myth [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I'm, and then your garnish is a peach wedge and you take out all your ingredients. [SPEAKER_03]: You stir it and you're mixing glass with the ice. [SPEAKER_03]: You strain it into your coop glass and you garnish with the peach wedge on the rim. [UNKNOWN]: Nice. [SPEAKER_09]: Simple to make.

[SPEAKER_09]: If you are a fan of peaches, this is very definitely the drink for you, which in some ways makes sense because, you know, the Dolly Museum kind of looks like Mario World and peaches Mario's girlfriend. [SPEAKER_09]: Just saying what? [SPEAKER_09]: You got to know you Mario. [UNKNOWN]: Anyway. [SPEAKER_09]: You guys missed out on the drink of the day. [SPEAKER_09]: You're like, God, that seems a little strange.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, today it was, but if you missed out on it, you can subscribe and check it out yourself any time at the politics bar dot com in the news on tap in that sixth round today with the entertainment section.

[SPEAKER_09]: So box office, [SPEAKER_09]: Finally, starting to get back and getting some money in, which is good for our friends who live in L.A. and in the Hollywood area, Prada got to the second one and the Michael Jackson biopic, did okay, moral combat to sheet detectives and the Billie Eilish movie also did pretty good, so yay for that. [SPEAKER_09]: The Red Hot Chili Peppers did something that I was kind of surprised, but nice paycheck.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, they sold their entire music catalog to one of music group for $300

[SPEAKER_09]: if they're all credited as writers they all have a nice paycheck coming right and also the fact is that they probably do what a lot of artists do these days which is basically they have some that they sell it to them to warn them music owns it but that they still have some rights to do with the things they want to do with it while they're alive whatever whatever I mean it's kind of cool I mean if they if they sold it for that kind of thing they got good lawyers

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, well, I'm sure they have good lawyers. [SPEAKER_09]: So next time you see flea, you just be like, hey, how's your lawyer? [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, I could use some money. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm doing a radio show. [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you, flea, flea, flea, flea. [SPEAKER_10]: We have not all drinks here, flea. [SPEAKER_03]: We know where he lives. [SPEAKER_03]: We saw him pull out of his driveway. [SPEAKER_03]: That's what I'm saying. [SPEAKER_03]: He's gonna be.

[SPEAKER_03]: And he's not gonna store high. [SPEAKER_09]: Hi, would you like to? [SPEAKER_03]: You just made a lot of money. [SPEAKER_03]: Can I have some? [SPEAKER_09]: Well, do a leap is hopefully going to get some files of 15 dollars lost you to get Samsung for their unauthorized use of her face to sell TVs, which I'm with her. [SPEAKER_09]: I do not understand. [SPEAKER_09]: This is one of those things as as somebody who's done graphic design many times in my life for pay.

[SPEAKER_09]: You, you can, like, all of, one of the things you guys may notice about our news collages is that the graphics interact with each other. [SPEAKER_09]: You have people looking. [SPEAKER_09]: Like today you have Donald Trump and she looking over at the war in Iran. [SPEAKER_09]: You have the Secretary of Road Rules kind of leering at Duilepa, people are really here.

[SPEAKER_09]: artistic creation, which then gets past some of the worries about somebody says, well, what about this, the rights on this one, the rights on that one, most of the rights are free rights anyway, but hey, as a unique original creation, that kind of voids that issue. [SPEAKER_09]: Wonderful. [SPEAKER_09]: That's how the law works.

[SPEAKER_09]: if you just put up a picture of like the dual loop of thing like they put on their TV boxes Well, that's selling something different than just a website. [SPEAKER_09]: Right, but that's just it's like If you were the person who is doing a graphic design for the TV box

[SPEAKER_09]: you know well enough, or you should know well enough the laws not to just go we know there's this copyrighted picture of the NFL or basically baseball or the NHL or NBA I'm just gonna slap that sucker on here nobody's gonna bother right I mean it's fine it's not like anybody's ever seen this is only on the box that's gonna go on thousands and thousands of televisions across the country and every major retailer.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think that like they can put the Netflix logo and the Hulu logo and not because all of those things are probably in that smart television and those companies are very happy that they're being advertised for free on that box.

[SPEAKER_09]: And if you look oftentimes on on the graphics that are on some of those TV boxes and things, [SPEAKER_09]: Anybody who knows what they're doing, it's in small type, it's things like if there's a picture of the NFL, it says, you know, NFL, pictures of logo. [SPEAKER_09]: Legally, yeah, with use, with permission, or whatever. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, I did a music video years ago, and we shot part of it at a donut shop, and the donut shop had a Pepsi logo on it.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so my DP and I sat down and you guys, [SPEAKER_03]: because it looks like Pepsi's now endorsing this music video. [SPEAKER_03]: So we need to cover that and I said, let's talk to them or can we shoot around it because we can shoot around it. [SPEAKER_03]: So we just shot around it. [SPEAKER_03]: You know, and because the donut shop was fine when we did the crane shot, but it was very much like, okay, we don't, because donut shops fine with this. [SPEAKER_05]: Right.

[SPEAKER_03]: You know, Pepsi may not be where they may hate this artist for all we know and they won't want their logo anywhere because they they also pay for that You're also losing money if like Pepsi wanted to invest in that music video.

[SPEAKER_03]: We would have saved $10,000 But Wasn't that it was five but all of this all of this stuff is it's it's about [SPEAKER_09]: there are times when you can say f the law like we talked about last hour like we'll talk about again with Brooklyn dad to find when he gets here.

[SPEAKER_09]: There are times when when I'm somewhat more okay with it and then there are other times when it's very basic stuff like to you have the right to use the logo or do you have the right to use do a leap as picture when you're selling your TVs. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, there's a right to publicity in the state of California, which is where she's suing out of, and the right of anybody that's famous to say, you can't use my name and likeness or my voice or anything like that.

[SPEAKER_03]: So, and that's a right for that person to make money with their visage and their voice and everything else. [SPEAKER_09]: or as people who are college sports fans know N.I.L. [SPEAKER_09]: name image likeness. [SPEAKER_03]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: Yep. [SPEAKER_09]: That's where it all goes, too. [SPEAKER_09]: So it's like, um, no, I just don't understand why they've, I don't understand, and I don't understand why the folks at Samsung all the way up the list.

[SPEAKER_03]: They're legal department and go wait what? [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, I, I'm like, did you get the authorization? [SPEAKER_09]: Did you ask to Alipa? [SPEAKER_09]: First small fee, she'd probably be like, sure. [SPEAKER_03]: go ahead and it's not like they're not it's not like Sam's I'm going to have the money and the other thing is according to her lawsuit there are people that actually bought Sam's songs because they thought she was endorsing the product.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's that they lose that lawsuit right there. [SPEAKER_09]: They're gonna be like, you know what, we're gonna settle this at a court. [SPEAKER_09]: Here's a bunch of money. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, they're gonna pay her fortune to settle it at a court. [SPEAKER_03]: Which they could have just paid for the rights. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm probably a lot less money. [SPEAKER_03]: Uh-huh. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [UNKNOWN]: Jesus.

[SPEAKER_09]: There are times when you say no, and then there are other times when you go, you know what? [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, we should just pay the bill. [SPEAKER_09]: That would be a good idea. [SPEAKER_03]: everybody I hate this phrase. [SPEAKER_03]: Don't ask permission to ask for forgiveness. [SPEAKER_03]: No. [SPEAKER_03]: I've always hated that phrase. [SPEAKER_03]: I think that's the most ridiculous thing on the planet. [SPEAKER_09]: It seems kind of rapied to me actually.

[SPEAKER_03]: A little bit. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, that's Brooklyn Dad to find what he thinks when he is coming in. [SPEAKER_09]: He is just getting off the train coming in, so look, fresh in your drink, come right back. [SPEAKER_09]: It's a Monday night with Brooklyn Dad to find Jody Hamilton, me, shots with Pierce and you, hanging out here at the politics bar.

[SPEAKER_09]: It is Monday night here at the politics bar and you guys know what that name is, the one the only Brooklyn identifying to Mr. Machine, put it in. [SPEAKER_09]: It's Monday's with machine. [SPEAKER_09]: How you doing man? [SPEAKER_09]: How was your weekend? [SPEAKER_08]: My weekend was cool and groovy. [SPEAKER_08]: I did pay tribute to the most important person in my life and that is my wife. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes. [SPEAKER_08]: She's a mom.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yay. [SPEAKER_08]: And yeah, one of the best things I got from her aside from the gift cards for Lowe's because she likes planting and stuff like that was a an LED facial mask thing. [SPEAKER_08]: Then I just learned I just learned is is a really big deal. [SPEAKER_08]: I didn't know. [SPEAKER_08]: My my daughter was like dad. [SPEAKER_08]: It's good. [SPEAKER_03]: It's good. [SPEAKER_08]: It's good. [SPEAKER_08]: It's good. [SPEAKER_08]: It's good.

[SPEAKER_08]: Nice. [SPEAKER_03]: No, they help with acne and wrinkles. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's everything. [SPEAKER_03]: They help with so much stuff. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: It's really. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Whatever people do for their moms for Mother's Day. [SPEAKER_09]: It's much appreciated. [SPEAKER_09]: And remember, Father's Day's coming up, too. [SPEAKER_09]: So there, you can always, by the way. [SPEAKER_03]: We can get BDD, an LED mask.

[SPEAKER_09]: You could, or you get a subscription to the politics bar as I'm saying, subscriptions are good. [SPEAKER_09]: Or you can subscribe to BDD stuff. [SPEAKER_09]: We have the most subscribed to Brooklyn Dad Defiance podcast, which are there in the guest section today?

[SPEAKER_09]: Honestly, we know it's sometimes you're a little bit more on the entertainment side, so we have to ask, there was this thing with Dua Lipa, where Samsung decided to slap her picture on a box, [SPEAKER_09]: and not ask her permission. [SPEAKER_09]: And so now she's seeing their ass off. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm on her side. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm team Dua Lipa. [SPEAKER_09]: Me too. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: We figured you'd, we figured you'd say that too.

[SPEAKER_09]: Cause it's like, this is to me. [SPEAKER_09]: It's very basic. [SPEAKER_09]: This is not very complex. [SPEAKER_09]: Great. [SPEAKER_08]: Well, that's also expanding into a bigger issue where AI is easily repurposing people's faces. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm seeing a lot of AI Slap on like, let's say YouTube where they'll show somebody how they look now and then they do this face peel thing and then they show them like how they how they look 30 years ago.

[SPEAKER_09]: I can't remember which social media platform it was. [SPEAKER_09]: I think I saw it on two of them. [SPEAKER_09]: I think it was threads and Twitter where something had the same video where they were doing the Jackson family members. [SPEAKER_09]: And it was then and now, as close to now as you can, since Michael's gone. [SPEAKER_09]: Right, right. [SPEAKER_09]: But for Randy Jackson, they morphed it into Randy Jackson, the guy who's been on American Idol.

[SPEAKER_03]: Can't look anything like that Randy. [SPEAKER_03]: That's the wrong one. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's Randy Jackson, but not that Randy Jackson. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my god. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, you know, you've seen those, the actor, Gregory Harrison, you remember from Trapper John, and right? [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: So he's in one of these weird videos where they have people sit like on a bench, and it was everybody from Trapper was the whole idea.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so they had him, it didn't even look like him. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it sort of looked like him back in the day. [SPEAKER_03]: So it was an AI version of him, [SPEAKER_03]: when Trapper John was on. [SPEAKER_03]: And then an AI version of him sort of how he looks now. [SPEAKER_03]: And he goes, this is just creepy. [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, yep, completely and utterly creepy.

[SPEAKER_03]: Because they have them like walking like with dead, like their dead cells, like with angel wings. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, that's just weird. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, yeah, there needs to be a lot more regulation to see. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, that's been one of the things today, BDD. [SPEAKER_09]: We've been talking about the fact that especially with regards to Republicans' war on democracy.

[SPEAKER_09]: And then trying to basically cut out any black and brown people's right to vote, including yours, for example. [SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_09]: And the fact that [SPEAKER_09]: some Democrats are already like some of the Democrats have already said in Virginia that they are repealing the attorney general here. [SPEAKER_09]: Jay Jones has said that he is appealing that Supreme Court decision here to the U.S. Supreme Court, which is great. [SPEAKER_09]: That's fine.

[SPEAKER_09]: It's it's a very basically for those of you missed it. [SPEAKER_09]: It's an hour one. [SPEAKER_09]: We talked about how stupid it is. [SPEAKER_09]: And it's it's worth going back and rolling back. [SPEAKER_09]: If you're listening on the radio, it's worth getting the podcast. [SPEAKER_09]: You can roll back and hear the explanation.

[SPEAKER_09]: But [SPEAKER_08]: I just was like, I like the fact that we are fighting back to the nail and I absolutely believe that that is the way to go, whether it's, you know, I guess it's got to be in the courts, right? [SPEAKER_03]: Right now. [SPEAKER_08]: Beyond beyond that, we have to have a plan B. [SPEAKER_08]: We cannot, and we cannot rely, we cannot rely on this compromised Supreme Court.

[SPEAKER_08]: No. [SPEAKER_08]: what's what's our plan B, you know, we have to rally the troops basically and and turn out like we've never turned out before and start don't don't wait until the 11th hour we got to start now and let and get people fired up and know they are trying to

[SPEAKER_08]: disenfranchise you they're trying to take away your vote in so many different ways mm-hmm you know they're trying to remove your right to representation by your choice we want to thrust who they want you to uh they want to um they don't want you to vote for who they want you to vote right right and that goes for and that goes for Republicans too they don't care who you want to vote for they want to tell you who's going to be elected

[SPEAKER_09]: They want to choose their voters instead of the voters choosing you elected. [SPEAKER_08]: And I just better. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, you know, fine, it's fine. [SPEAKER_09]: But my biggest thing is just the fact that there are still some Democrats who are not fully meeting the moment. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, I love my democratic governor here in Virginia Abigail Spanberger has been pretty good about a lot of things. [SPEAKER_09]: She's got a lot of stuff done.

[SPEAKER_09]: But yeah, this happened. [SPEAKER_09]: She's like, well, I don't know. [SPEAKER_09]: And I'm like, no, the entire reaction from every, yeah, she was, she was a little bit merely mouth a little bit soft on it. [SPEAKER_09]: And I'm going every single Democrat needs to be even if they're just a little bit of performative needs to be we're going to go hammer on tongs at these bastards.

[SPEAKER_09]: And we're going to, you know, rip them up by their toenails and kick the crap out of them. [SPEAKER_09]: And we'll go. [SPEAKER_09]: And I go, because here's the thing that absolutely pisses me on off you see it on, especially the mainstream corporate media, your MS now, your CNN where they go. [SPEAKER_10]: But you know, what if Democrats fight back? [SPEAKER_10]: And you know, the smart decision would be to just water everything down and pick middling centers to eliminate.

[SPEAKER_09]: Hell, no, that is absolutely not what Democrats want. [SPEAKER_09]: Democrats want people who have bold ideas, moots, and even if they go, you know what, I don't know if this is going to work, but let's try it. [SPEAKER_09]: Let's fight. [SPEAKER_09]: Let's get out there and kick some ass instead of, well, I don't know, Robert's rules of order say, no, no more of that. [SPEAKER_09]: Done with that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Whatever, whatever Virginia can do legally speaking, whatever, and I know you're, you're an advocate potentially of, [SPEAKER_03]: outside the law outside the law like what ohio did and I I am on the fence if I understand it I get it [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know if you know this beauty. [SPEAKER_08]: Don't let me know what it, oh, what it, oh, what it, oh, I would do. [SPEAKER_09]: So 2022, 2022, we have a link. [SPEAKER_09]: It's in the news on tap in the second round today.

[SPEAKER_09]: Ohio basically had screwed up maps. [SPEAKER_09]: And they were told by the court by the Ohio Supreme Court and also it's in their, their, their, because they constitution that they need to fix their maps. [SPEAKER_09]: And Ohio Republicans who control everything went, nah. [SPEAKER_10]: And they said, oh, but the day comes up and you have to change the map by then. [SPEAKER_10]: And they went, nah. [SPEAKER_09]: And people go, but that's what the law says.

[SPEAKER_09]: And they go, make me, make me. [SPEAKER_09]: And that's for the last four years. [SPEAKER_09]: So they're running their congressional elections on illegal maps, but they're going, make me. [SPEAKER_09]: What are you going to do about it? [SPEAKER_09]: Make me. [SPEAKER_09]: And nobody's met that moment. [SPEAKER_09]: I don't think he's got the state.

[SPEAKER_09]: The people who should do what I mean, this Supreme Court of Ohio, just like the Supreme Court of Virginia, just like the Supreme Court of the U.S. Supreme Court. [SPEAKER_03]: Get some marshals out there and start arresting people. [SPEAKER_08]: Exactly, you could but but who's in charge of of all the modules and everything the governor who's a Republican right [SPEAKER_03]: See, and now, Jerry Manoring doesn't affect statewide. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, like, a governor should.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's more, I mean, it's one person voting, the entire state votes for you. [SPEAKER_03]: So, Ohio, find somebody better. [SPEAKER_03]: Sherrod Brown, better be your next senator. [SPEAKER_03]: Also difficult to, you can't, Jerry Manoring states a United States senator. [SPEAKER_03]: You can, the state senators, but not the U.S. senator. [SPEAKER_09]: Senator, and their next governor should definitely not be Romans warming.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my God. [SPEAKER_03]: God, no. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: But look, that's sufferable. [SPEAKER_09]: That's the thing is that Brian Tyler Cohen has a piece that we have in the second round. [SPEAKER_09]: And he said the title piece is the left is good governing itself into obscurity. [SPEAKER_09]: That's got to stop.

[SPEAKER_09]: Because we understand we would like to do things by the rules, K-Fang, who we still want to get into the bar here, but she was on step show this morning BDD. [SPEAKER_09]: I don't know if you heard it. [SPEAKER_09]: And she was saying that, you know, ignoring the Supreme Court of Virginia's ruling is an option. [SPEAKER_09]: And Virginia Democrats should try to stay within the laws. [SPEAKER_09]: And my response to that is, no, I don't care at this point if it's within laws.

[SPEAKER_09]: I don't care what they, there are people who have suggestions of lower the Supreme Courts of Virginia's age, of their here in Virginia, you get to certain age, you have to get off the court. [SPEAKER_09]: They can suddenly lower to 54 or 56, whatever it is, wipe out like half the court. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but that's the half we like. [SPEAKER_09]: I know, but I'm just saying, there are lots of different ways to do this. [SPEAKER_09]: and the idea of that.

[SPEAKER_09]: Well, we came up with one alternative idea and that didn't work. [SPEAKER_10]: So we're done. [SPEAKER_08]: No, we've tried nothing and we're out all out of my teeth. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm glad that I am as much as you're not trusting this current U.S. Supreme Court. [SPEAKER_03]: No. [SPEAKER_03]: They did uphold California's Registration, which was voted on by voters. [SPEAKER_03]: So if for, I think that's Virginia's argument is like, Hi, exactly the same.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it is. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it's exactly the same journey because just like you said that in California there were Republicans there tried to say that it was a small procedural thing, which was that was where they went to the U.S. Supreme Court and they said it was a small procedural thing and the U.S. Supreme Court looked at California state laws and went, no, no, the Democrats did their things right there. [SPEAKER_03]: Good. [SPEAKER_03]: It was under our constitution.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was very legal. [SPEAKER_09]: Let me let me see. [SPEAKER_09]: I explained it earlier last hour for those people who just came into the bar a little later I hear I'll explain it for you again, BDD. [SPEAKER_09]: Let me see if you get this because juddy was like at first this seems insane.

[SPEAKER_09]: It isn't saying By the letter of the law in Virginia on election is one day Okay, just one day also by the letter of the law in Virginia and this was thankfully explained to me by Carolyn Fiddler who we had in the bar last week but [SPEAKER_09]: In Virginia law, every election also has to have an early election period. [SPEAKER_09]: So let's say that's three weeks. [SPEAKER_09]: So the early election period is three weeks before the day and the election is one day.

[SPEAKER_09]: Now if you believe the Virginia Supreme Court's ruling, according to the way that the Virginia Supreme Court ruled, they said, well, that three weeks is also part of the election. [SPEAKER_09]: So first you have one day and you add the three weeks before and because there has to be an early voting period. [SPEAKER_09]: But now, if it's three weeks in a day, that's the election. [SPEAKER_09]: Is that whole three weeks plus one day thing?

[SPEAKER_09]: Well, but if that's the election, you still have to have an early voting period before that. [SPEAKER_09]: So you add on another three weeks before that. [SPEAKER_09]: And now you have six weeks in a day, except if that's the election, then you have to add on another early day voting period before that. [SPEAKER_09]: And then it's nine weeks in a day. [SPEAKER_09]: And then that. [SPEAKER_03]: That's what this stupid court said. [SPEAKER_03]: It makes no sense.

[SPEAKER_09]: It would, but, but, but there needs to be an early voting period before every election. [SPEAKER_09]: So if you expand the legal definition of election from just the day to the day, plus the early voting period, well, okay, fine, legally then that's the election, except if that's the election, you still legally have to have another early voting period.

[SPEAKER_09]: Well fine, we keep having early work keep going to we're going to extend into infinity infinity That there needs to be early voting forever. [SPEAKER_09]: So in other words, we've always had an election and we're going to continue having election forever We've always been at war with East Asia. [SPEAKER_09]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_09]: We've always been at war with the election booth [SPEAKER_09]: Which according to the way there the Republicans or the Virginia Supreme Court, that's their thought and I'm like well that's great Except that's also as an I will make sense right and that's one of those things where you I'm I'm pretty sure you could take that Supreme Court and they'd be like Hmm is election defined and you go yes in Virginia law election is defined as the day

[SPEAKER_08]: And you can't the fun it is adding the other part out right here's here's what I want to know What about the other Democratic states now that we see all of the other red states like Luis Anna all of a sudden and all these other my southern states right are trying to redistrict [SPEAKER_08]: What about our blue states? [SPEAKER_08]: What's up with that?

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, we did, but I'm hoping that my current, my governor who will not be next year is talking to his assembly and Senate and saying, okay, guys, the voters already voted for Prop 50 and we already re did some of the mapping. [SPEAKER_03]: Let's do the whole state. [SPEAKER_03]: We already voted for it. [SPEAKER_03]: We're already fine with it. [SPEAKER_09]: And we'll just do it. [SPEAKER_09]: Wait, that's not what you guys want to say.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, no. [SPEAKER_03]: We just, they just redistricted like five different seats. [SPEAKER_03]: They didn't do all 52. [SPEAKER_03]: We didn't go Tennessee. [SPEAKER_03]: We went. [SPEAKER_03]: This is fair. [SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, so we, we unfairly mannered a couple of Republicans, basically our state like the whole country should be normally is drawn by a non-partisan commission. [SPEAKER_03]: That's how it's normally, so it's very fair in this state.

[SPEAKER_03]: Like in Michigan, like Michigan has a non-partisan map too. [SPEAKER_03]: That's how it should be. [SPEAKER_03]: So California said not today, Satan. [SPEAKER_03]: we will keep this new map only until 2030 when we're going to rewrite it properly. [SPEAKER_03]: Michigan can do the same and I think they should because they have the Democrats run Michigan now because fair voting. [SPEAKER_03]: So I think the Michigan should be thinking about that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Going, okay, just until 2030 we're going to re-district New York and do it Illinois, Jersey, [SPEAKER_03]: Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, wherever Colorado can should be. [SPEAKER_10]: And if the question is, well, is this proper? [SPEAKER_10]: It's not proper, but we have to fight. [SPEAKER_08]: But how many seats do we get, Jody, if they do the whole state? [SPEAKER_03]: That would be 52 potential. [SPEAKER_03]: Democrats just from California. [SPEAKER_09]: See, BDD's loving this.

[SPEAKER_09]: I love this. [SPEAKER_09]: BDD, we're going to keep you around for one more round. [SPEAKER_03]: I like the zoom camera just zoomed in on it.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's American band stand. [SPEAKER_09]: There you go. [SPEAKER_09]: Anyway, look, I do. [SPEAKER_09]: There are some plans that I will give more applause to than others.

[SPEAKER_09]: I do say the Democrats need to be innovative. [SPEAKER_09]: They need to not hold back. [SPEAKER_09]: They need to make bold moves. [SPEAKER_09]: They need to be unafraid at whatever they're doing. [SPEAKER_09]: Look, the wind is at the Democrats' backs. [SPEAKER_09]: The polls are all in Democrats' favor? [SPEAKER_09]: Even at Rasmussen. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, Rasmussen, the right-leaning one, BDD. [SPEAKER_09]: Wow. [SPEAKER_09]: Generex, pallet. [SPEAKER_09]: Generex, pallet.

[SPEAKER_09]: We're Trump's. [SPEAKER_09]: Trump's poll, right? [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: Plus nine, plus nine for Dems, 50 to 41.

[SPEAKER_09]: yeah that's huge which means that new realities probably closer to like say 13 to 15 which is what we've said the pvi generally is right now yeah yeah look this democrats need to be bold like you were saying Joe you're your your your your you could other governors can mm-hmm [SPEAKER_03]: And I know they're getting, I'm sure they're getting indicated with calls from certain folks. [SPEAKER_03]: In fact, you know, you had a clip from AOC about Presidenting that I think is great.

[SPEAKER_09]: She did, she did a little interview over the weekend. [SPEAKER_09]: It was on C-SPAN if you, if you guys missed it, you go to C-SPAN.org and you can check that out with David Axel-Raw. [SPEAKER_03]: Who is, you is not the most left-leaning human on the planet by any stretch of the imagination. [SPEAKER_09]: He's very centrist in the same way as in he was saying that a lot of people would like you to run for president in twenty twenty eight rep a She says well here.

[SPEAKER_09]: This is what you said. [SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's funny because in this opin that Jeff Bezos paid for in the Washington Post [SPEAKER_02]: It was this line that you have mentioned earlier that was as a potential 2028 content or XYZ. [SPEAKER_02]: And in the context of that, it was very clear that it was a veiled threat, right? [SPEAKER_02]: It was the elite saying, if you want this job, you just stepped out of line. [SPEAKER_02]: And we want you to know where the real power is.

[SPEAKER_02]: And it's in the modern day barrens who own the post and own the algorithms. [SPEAKER_02]: And we're going to, we'll make an example of you. [SPEAKER_02]: And what's funny about that is that they assume that my ambition is positional. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: They assume that my ambition is a title or a seat. [SPEAKER_02]: My ambition is way bigger than that. [SPEAKER_02]: My ambition is to change this country. [SPEAKER_08]: Wow. [SPEAKER_08]: Listen to this line.

[SPEAKER_03]: It gets better. [SPEAKER_03]: It gets a lot better. [SPEAKER_02]: Come and go. [SPEAKER_02]: Send it how seeds selected officials come and go. [SPEAKER_02]: single pair of health cares forever. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Uh-huh. [SPEAKER_03]: Uh-huh. [SPEAKER_03]: Uh-huh. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I don't think she should run in 28. [SPEAKER_03]: I think she stole a little young. [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[SPEAKER_03]: And we'll be pilloried for that. [SPEAKER_03]: Um, once she hits 50 though. [SPEAKER_03]: I like it. [SPEAKER_08]: I like it. [SPEAKER_08]: I like it. [SPEAKER_08]: She's smart. [SPEAKER_08]: He always likes it. [SPEAKER_08]: She's very smart. [SPEAKER_08]: She's not the lot from Nancy. [SPEAKER_03]: Nancy's helped and she will always get, I mean, as long as Nancy's with us. [SPEAKER_03]: She's going to have her ear.

[SPEAKER_09]: But it's nice that she has, it's nice that, I mean, even though the further left wanted AOC to go hammer and tongs at Pelosi. [SPEAKER_09]: No, look, she's smart. [SPEAKER_09]: She learned a lot from from Speaker Mayor Pelosi and you should learn a lot from

[SPEAKER_09]: that's the thing you need to be it's it's great to be good like you know basketball player it's good to be a good basketball player have the skills that's fine but it's also helpful to have the wisdom of somebody else like you know brownie isn't the greatest basketball player but his dad LeBron is pretty great now if his dad continues to teach him brownie could probably be a lot better than he is well even Charlie Pierce equated aoc to a young Michael Jordan

[SPEAKER_10]: There you go, exactly. [SPEAKER_10]: Thank you, Charlie. [SPEAKER_03]: So that's me. [SPEAKER_03]: Praise him. [SPEAKER_03]: He's like, she is, she is a politician to watch out for, but not yet. [SPEAKER_03]: Give her another few, because she's what 36, 37. [SPEAKER_03]: She's very young. [SPEAKER_09]: Remember, Michael Jordan needs to be in college, even in high school. [SPEAKER_09]: That is hell.

[SPEAKER_08]: So I don't think Speaker of Meritop Pelosi gets enough credit to shop that she did. [SPEAKER_03]: She was an amazing speaker. [SPEAKER_08]: I mean, we can see, [SPEAKER_08]: as we watch you know Mike Johnson, you know we can go back to Banner his job but I'm saying like he's got nothing to come in while Speaker Pelosi had the exact same challenges of a narrow margin. [SPEAKER_08]: She did.

[SPEAKER_08]: She [SPEAKER_08]: she knew how to count and she knew how to get those votes going and she didn't bring something before unless you knew she had the vote for it and you know she was she was very good at what she did. [SPEAKER_08]: AOC you can see is very savvy politically. [SPEAKER_03]: She was a polyside manager. [SPEAKER_03]: She knows I mean everybody gives her grief for some strange reason because she was a bartender.

[SPEAKER_03]: She's putting herself through school as a political science major. [SPEAKER_03]: This woman is not stupid. [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: I love her. [SPEAKER_08]: But I don't, but I don't want her to run in 2020. [SPEAKER_08]: No, I feel like she's right now. [SPEAKER_08]: She's a bit too polarizing. [SPEAKER_08]: Yes. [SPEAKER_08]: Like if people want to use short hand for radical left to say AOC.

[SPEAKER_08]: And they're going to do that to her, no matter how old she is, just like they tried to do with Biden. [SPEAKER_03]: It's like dude, he's such a centrist Democrat. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, Joe Biden, Joe Biden, that would be sure. [SPEAKER_09]: Well, Joe Biden, you did the most him aggressive. [SPEAKER_03]: He was great, right? [SPEAKER_09]: But Joe Biden used to be shorthand for milk toast, middleing Democrats, especially among Republicans.

[SPEAKER_09]: And so for them to turn and go, and that's the thing is that people go, like, you know, this this race that's going on in Iowa for Iowa said, I was talking about brother a little bit this weekend before he, he headed off to Germany. [SPEAKER_09]: And, uh, [SPEAKER_09]: Um, he gave me some heads up on some things I didn't know, which doesn't surprise me. [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, the Josh guy at Versa's Zach. [SPEAKER_09]: Uh-huh.

[SPEAKER_09]: Josh and Zach and that they both have different benefits and different deaths. [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, absolutely. [SPEAKER_09]: But he gave me some, but it's interesting to see how the national media is trying for, and it's like, they don't have a clue as to what the voters on the ground actually are thinking or why they're thinking with things that they are. [SPEAKER_09]: Um, [SPEAKER_09]: Now, it doesn't mean that the national mainstream media couldn't.

[SPEAKER_09]: All they had to do is, I could literally give them a list of a half dozen people that they could call, that are not working on the Turk campaign, they're not working on the walls campaign, that do not, they're Democrats, they're independents, they're in Iowa, and they could tell them the same things that my brother told me. [SPEAKER_09]: And if you're in mainstream news media, you absolutely should be getting out there. [SPEAKER_09]: You should be paying attention to what's online.

[SPEAKER_09]: You should be paying attention to people actually make things that matter and have sense as far as that goes. [SPEAKER_09]: But most of the crap that we're hearing from them is it's it's Pablo. [SPEAKER_09]: It's garbage that tells me that they don't actually know what the hell's going on. [SPEAKER_03]: Well in Katie Fang talked about that this morning on Stephanie show. [SPEAKER_03]: She's like, I was a political analyst and I was told not to be political.

[SPEAKER_09]: Well, right, because they try to, we don't want a fan of something. [SPEAKER_08]: And I'm like, screw it up so crazy. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: You want my political opinion, but you're telling me not to say it. [SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_08]: That's so crazy. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, because we don't want to have a fan, sir. [SPEAKER_10]: It's like shot. [SPEAKER_03]: They don't want to offend the overlords that own MSNow, or used to, Comcast, or CNN, or whatever.

[SPEAKER_03]: They don't want to offend the folks that are getting [SPEAKER_09]: Well, and also they say, well, we don't want to offend the advertisers and my thought on this is then they don't advertise and find right.

[SPEAKER_09]: My thought on this is the same thing that it has always been with media advertisers, which you go if it's that big of a deal, you put a little disclaimer as you are heading out of a segment that says we're going to pay some bills now and the people who are advertising do not necessarily agree with any of these ideas,

[SPEAKER_03]: That's what stations that's what stations do when somebody has an opinion the opinions of this next thing are not necessarily reflected on the management of this company But I can't I tell you how much it drives me nuts when I see an ad for Trump on MS now Yes, just drives me bonkers like [SPEAKER_08]: Who are you guys selling this to? [SPEAKER_08]: Why are you taking this to you?

[SPEAKER_09]: Here's the thing, is that there are multiple places in this country, New York, Florida, Washington, DC are primarily the three right now. [SPEAKER_09]: If you are in any one of those of you, if you're in Florida media markets, primarily South Florida, if you are in New York, New Jersey, and if you are in the Washington, DC Metro,

[SPEAKER_09]: uh... you will see trump adds on you will see that as i don't see them well you see them on right but you'll see them on cnn you'll see them and s now you'll see them on like the nbc new screen so it's local cable stuff that's putting that in it's well it's it is yeah it's it's whatever though the local provider is but it's the reason they're doing it is because he watches those

[SPEAKER_09]: and his people, and the people who give money have made sure that his stuff is in all the ad breaks. [SPEAKER_09]: So even if he's watching, like we all know, Lawrence O'Donnell has said that Donald Trump says, you know, he watches Lawrence O'Donnell sometimes.

[SPEAKER_09]: And one of the ways that you know this is here, if you're in the DC area, the bar here and you're watching, you go, oh, there's a, you know, pro-Trump or something that Trump likes, you know, you know, ice is great and immigrants suck and whatever, because of the fact that Trump is watching that. [SPEAKER_09]: You go to, you know, Iowa here. [SPEAKER_09]: You go to California, Colorado, Don't say it. [SPEAKER_09]: State. [SPEAKER_09]: You won't see it because he's not there.

[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_09]: It's a local ad by and they do it just to make sure that Donald feels good in the break because he says, see, see, it's me. [SPEAKER_10]: It's my people. [SPEAKER_10]: See, I'm there. [SPEAKER_10]: I know. [SPEAKER_10]: You're like, you're like, oh, my blood. [SPEAKER_10]: You just like a fine. [SPEAKER_10]: The, it's me. [SPEAKER_10]: I'm over the. [SPEAKER_09]: Right. [SPEAKER_09]: Uh-huh. [SPEAKER_09]: You're right. [SPEAKER_09]: That is right.

[SPEAKER_09]: But that's that's why they do it and it's like that is so Child it's they're wiping his butt. [SPEAKER_03]: It's just it's super. [SPEAKER_03]: We need some young child to go the emperor has no clothes at this point We need a child to tell everybody else that this guy is a de-hole Exactly and we just need the networks to stand up and say none of this and those ABC finally is [SPEAKER_09]: Which is great.

[SPEAKER_09]: I'm loving seeing ABC, but I think more of them need to absolutely. [SPEAKER_09]: And of course, like we're saying, there's some online stuff that's out there. [SPEAKER_09]: Maybe you don't know, but look, BDD, can we keep you the ass? [SPEAKER_09]: I know it's a formality, but we do need to ask. [SPEAKER_09]: We want to ask. [SPEAKER_08]: So you're absolutely. [SPEAKER_09]: We ask for permission. [SPEAKER_09]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_09]: We don't just grab.

[SPEAKER_09]: We ask for permission here. [SPEAKER_09]: So we actually asked for [SPEAKER_09]: We asked tomorrow. [SPEAKER_09]: We haven't had it. [SPEAKER_09]: It's true. [SPEAKER_09]: It is true. [SPEAKER_09]: All right. [SPEAKER_09]: We asked tomorrow. [SPEAKER_09]: Pete Dominated to come in. [SPEAKER_09]: So Pete is coming in tomorrow. [SPEAKER_09]: We just love having him here as well.

[SPEAKER_09]: But look, for those of you listening on the radio, you're going to need to tune over to the politics bar.com. [SPEAKER_09]: Because that's where we're going now for the after hours. [SPEAKER_09]: We're Brooklyn dad to find for those of you who are heading out on the radio side. [SPEAKER_09]: Hey, tomorrow night Tuesday. [SPEAKER_09]: Pete Dominic here.
