00:01.671 --> 00:07.395
[SPEAKER_08]: The following program contains graphic material, including offensive language, your discretion is advised.
00:07.775 --> 00:17.803
[SPEAKER_05]: You are moving into a dimension, not only of sound and politics, but of absurdity, a journey into a land where facts are fiction and reality is up for debate.
00:18.183 --> 00:20.885
[SPEAKER_05]: Up is down, lies, disguised as truth.
00:21.326 --> 00:23.367
[SPEAKER_05]: And logic is a distant memory.
00:23.787 --> 00:26.630
[SPEAKER_05]: You've just crossed over into opposite world.
00:27.030 --> 00:30.212
[SPEAKER_05]: Fortunately, one voice dares to call it like it is.
00:30.573 --> 00:32.834
[SPEAKER_05]: Welcome to the Nicole Sandler Show.
00:33.195 --> 00:38.519
[SPEAKER_05]: You're refuge from the madness, where truth still matters, even in opposite world.
00:38.859 --> 00:40.381
[SPEAKER_02]: Howdy folks, Mangy Fedlux here.
00:40.401 --> 00:43.386
[SPEAKER_02]: I got a song, but it's not a Donald Trump song.
00:43.426 --> 00:49.575
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a song about Senator Eric Schmidt from Missouri, who is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
00:53.864 --> 01:18.207
[SPEAKER_02]: Senator Eric Schmidt is one dumb shit He tried to take Jack Smith down Plamed Jack was in Atlanta town But Jack had been nowhere around Senator Eric Schmidt, too quite a hit He thought he'd lead the perfect trap But turns out he was full of crap He needs to learn to shut his, yep
01:19.450 --> 01:42.326
[SPEAKER_02]: It often works out poorly, but a moron gets the micre and starts a speech, devoid of any facts, hoping that the internet reacts, thinking he's a whiz as he play acts,
01:45.515 --> 01:49.936
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's pointed out to him, his premise has a flaw.
01:51.337 --> 01:54.798
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing in his narrative occurred.
01:57.219 --> 02:03.761
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just the dumbest sheep in the whole herd.
02:03.961 --> 02:06.742
[SPEAKER_02]: Such stupidity cannot be.
02:09.101 --> 02:23.706
[SPEAKER_02]: Son it to Eric Schmidt needs to admit that Jack Smith is by far the better man dumb Eric and a faulty plan he should slink away while he can Oh, yeah.
02:24.066 --> 02:25.367
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, there was my applause there.
02:25.387 --> 02:27.127
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be so so for sure.
02:27.287 --> 02:30.268
[SPEAKER_02]: It is like Eric Smith is an amazing soul
02:39.367 --> 02:40.008
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't shoot.
02:41.229 --> 02:41.509
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
02:41.529 --> 02:43.431
[SPEAKER_01]: That is Mayngee Fetlocks, everybody.
02:43.611 --> 02:43.832
[SPEAKER_01]: Whoops.
02:43.912 --> 02:44.092
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope.
02:44.232 --> 02:45.053
[SPEAKER_01]: Also better known.
02:45.293 --> 02:45.673
[SPEAKER_01]: Stop.
02:45.974 --> 02:47.035
[SPEAKER_01]: And oh my god.
02:47.095 --> 02:48.316
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to win those update.
02:48.957 --> 02:49.938
[SPEAKER_01]: All of a sudden, everything.
02:50.238 --> 02:50.478
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
02:50.758 --> 02:51.739
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to commercial either.
02:52.000 --> 02:52.921
[SPEAKER_01]: So thanks, Mayngee.
02:53.561 --> 02:55.643
[SPEAKER_01]: A couple of things before I bring drift glass on.
02:56.404 --> 02:57.525
[SPEAKER_01]: We have an answer.
02:58.146 --> 02:58.846
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, one answer.
02:58.947 --> 02:59.847
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, two answers.
03:00.603 --> 03:10.667
[SPEAKER_01]: yesterday, I went, I told you, I had to leave right on time, which was unusual for me, because I had to get this weird, nerve-conducting test.
03:11.447 --> 03:13.488
[SPEAKER_01]: And let me tell you something, it hurts.
03:14.488 --> 03:18.229
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been hit with pain lately, like never before.
03:18.249 --> 03:20.370
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so they put these,
03:21.007 --> 03:26.493
[SPEAKER_01]: the send electrical shocks to you through you on your body and everything.
03:26.954 --> 03:30.418
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's painful, but the doctor does the test.
03:30.578 --> 03:33.941
[SPEAKER_01]: And while he's doing it, he shocked me a number of times.
03:36.704 --> 03:37.705
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, you lost it.
03:37.725 --> 03:38.465
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, sounds back.
03:38.485 --> 03:39.445
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just looking at the chat room.
03:39.686 --> 03:40.366
[SPEAKER_01]: We're all good, right?
03:40.626 --> 03:41.166
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
03:41.346 --> 03:52.172
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, he did like five like extremely painful shocks up and down my right arm and he said carpal tunnel you have carpal tunnel.
03:53.032 --> 03:59.755
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I always thought carpal tunnel was a thing that, you know, you get from typing and I didn't think it was as painful as it is.
04:00.576 --> 04:03.997
[SPEAKER_01]: And the cure for carpal tunnel syndrome.
04:06.345 --> 04:08.968
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, it's very minor surgery.
04:08.988 --> 04:17.579
[SPEAKER_01]: They cut like a little slit right here, and they snip whatever is impacting the nerve, because it is a nerve thing, and you're good to go.
04:19.078 --> 04:19.659
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, great.
04:20.239 --> 04:22.502
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, so I'm still pondering that.
04:22.522 --> 04:25.746
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to see the doctor next week.
04:26.426 --> 04:30.651
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, I'm taking Gabba Panton which helps, but my God, move my hand the wrong way.
04:30.671 --> 04:37.859
[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, okay, the other thing, you know, we have to do the mallady segment before we get to the good stuff.
04:38.993 --> 04:43.536
[SPEAKER_01]: the day before, I had the upper GI, was that just Monday?
04:43.996 --> 04:52.021
[SPEAKER_01]: Whenever it was, anyway, they found a lot of inflammation, a lot of irritation, inflammation mostly.
04:52.461 --> 04:58.164
[SPEAKER_01]: And the biopsies they took, all benign, so that's good.
05:00.205 --> 05:02.266
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I knew I had a high-edal hernia.
05:03.187 --> 05:04.147
[SPEAKER_01]: However, now,
05:07.236 --> 05:08.796
[SPEAKER_01]: I've somehow developed an ulcer.
05:10.337 --> 05:16.739
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm so, so, so, you know, of course I did, uh, and what else?
05:17.079 --> 05:20.580
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I know exactly how I got it.
05:20.800 --> 05:22.501
[SPEAKER_01]: I know exactly where it came from.
05:22.981 --> 05:27.682
[SPEAKER_01]: The fucking orange idiot in the White House gave me a goddamn ulcer.
05:29.063 --> 05:29.283
[SPEAKER_01]: Right?
05:29.583 --> 05:33.624
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, so, uh, there's still other things going on, but triflast, welcome back.
05:34.532 --> 05:35.012
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
05:35.072 --> 05:36.773
[SPEAKER_04]: You sound like a 1950s ad executive.
05:36.933 --> 05:37.333
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't I?
05:37.674 --> 05:40.495
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I've got my ulcer, I've got my hurry, uh, no.
05:40.535 --> 05:43.316
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's my, my carpal tunnel syndrome.
05:44.137 --> 05:45.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my God.
05:45.097 --> 05:45.958
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
05:46.398 --> 05:51.680
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, I, oh, I, I, I, I, I, I did the, I did the upper GI last week.
05:51.700 --> 05:52.541
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I have the results.
05:52.961 --> 05:53.341
[SPEAKER_01]: I did it.
05:53.561 --> 05:58.483
[SPEAKER_01]: The neck MRI on Monday, I think, Tuesday, whenever.
05:59.164 --> 06:00.244
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so yeah.
06:00.284 --> 06:00.905
[SPEAKER_01]: Time is a mystery.
06:00.925 --> 06:01.465
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't worry about it.
06:03.106 --> 06:09.009
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a walking, I should do a show called the Malady, because I am a walking malady.
06:10.790 --> 06:13.191
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you just, I'm gonna get you, I know I'm gonna be at you for Christmas.
06:13.352 --> 06:15.433
[SPEAKER_04]: I know now, I'm gonna be at you for Christmas.
06:15.513 --> 06:17.014
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm gonna take it shot of your face.
06:17.214 --> 06:17.674
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
06:18.234 --> 06:24.418
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm gonna impose it on an old operations game for every piece of the freezer, tell me my gift to you.
06:24.938 --> 06:25.318
[SPEAKER_01]: Love it.
06:26.579 --> 06:27.540
[SPEAKER_01]: that's hysterical.
06:28.420 --> 06:33.543
[SPEAKER_01]: You can remove half a lung, you know, the left lobe of the lungs because that's already gone.
06:34.263 --> 06:34.463
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
06:34.744 --> 06:34.944
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
06:35.284 --> 06:40.667
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, we got some unintentional comedy yesterday.
06:41.407 --> 06:42.008
[SPEAKER_04]: This way, dude.
06:42.268 --> 06:44.169
[SPEAKER_01]: I was watching the whole thing live.
06:44.489 --> 06:45.850
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm sitting right here.
06:46.230 --> 06:46.330
[SPEAKER_01]: It's
06:55.255 --> 06:57.217
[SPEAKER_01]: And he was oblivious to it all.
06:57.758 --> 07:00.120
[SPEAKER_01]: It is an action myth that stupid.
07:00.500 --> 07:02.983
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we all saw it before he did.
07:03.523 --> 07:12.132
[SPEAKER_01]: And they had this whole setup to have a gacha moment and he was so sharp himself.
07:12.898 --> 07:15.640
[SPEAKER_01]: And you could see the staff are sitting right behind him going.
07:16.340 --> 07:32.790
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, shit, where, where, oh, 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,
07:33.671 --> 07:35.672
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't notice the bait is wrong.
07:35.792 --> 07:38.493
[SPEAKER_04]: You have screwed up the actual bait for your trap.
07:39.113 --> 07:42.295
[SPEAKER_04]: And the problem with that, of course, is it's on live television.
07:42.795 --> 07:47.037
[SPEAKER_04]: It was staged as a giant gut shemalment, so there's a lot of drama around it.
07:47.697 --> 07:51.799
[SPEAKER_04]: And of course, it was part of an entire domino effect.
07:52.439 --> 08:01.984
[SPEAKER_04]: Because the next questionnaire Republican was going to follow him and, you know, he's over at Axios and, but after they're talking about his Vice Presidential Timber, what a genius he is.
08:02.004 --> 08:04.565
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a whole bunch of horror lyrics to this thing.
08:04.605 --> 08:04.905
[SPEAKER_04]: Right?
08:04.945 --> 08:09.648
[SPEAKER_04]: This is going to be his resume, his debut, like, oh, this is the guy that could be Vice President.
08:09.968 --> 08:11.048
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, he's a genius.
08:11.249 --> 08:11.789
[SPEAKER_04]: He caught him.
08:12.029 --> 08:19.213
[SPEAKER_04]: Finally, after all these years, he finally snatched him and he, I don't, there's no bigger screw outside of my cousin Vinny.
08:20.233 --> 08:22.895
[SPEAKER_04]: No cousin, there's no courtroom scrub bigger than this.
08:22.975 --> 08:31.202
[SPEAKER_04]: I've ever seen in my life based on a giant stupid, avoidable error that you were so anxious to get this guy you never even noticed.
08:31.982 --> 08:32.823
[SPEAKER_04]: Amazing.
08:33.003 --> 08:33.904
[SPEAKER_01]: It is amazing.
08:34.645 --> 08:35.745
[SPEAKER_01]: It is truly amazing.
08:35.765 --> 08:36.626
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I pulled up.
08:38.387 --> 08:40.769
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I went looking.
08:40.809 --> 08:44.972
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, okay, so who put a microphone in Eric Smith's face, right?
08:45.012 --> 08:49.556
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's find out and TMZ did and right?
08:49.636 --> 08:50.837
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just this episode.
08:51.217 --> 08:53.619
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to just play this because it is.
08:54.299 --> 08:55.140
[SPEAKER_01]: It is priceless.
08:55.200 --> 08:57.041
[SPEAKER_01]: So, okay, here we go.
08:57.482 --> 08:57.842
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully.
08:57.902 --> 08:58.382
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go.
08:58.402 --> 08:59.423
[SPEAKER_09]: It's good to see you, man.
08:59.443 --> 09:00.384
[SPEAKER_09]: Good to see you, man.
09:00.404 --> 09:00.904
[SPEAKER_09]: Good to see you.
09:02.487 --> 09:04.908
[SPEAKER_03]: about what we did about Jaxman.
09:05.228 --> 09:06.588
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, Jaxman, well, I don't think about that.
09:06.628 --> 09:12.090
[SPEAKER_03]: We asked him if he was at a basketball game in the 9th, the only NBA game that was going on that night was in Atlanta.
09:12.250 --> 09:12.550
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh.
09:12.990 --> 09:13.971
[SPEAKER_03]: So I asked him if he was there.
09:14.031 --> 09:15.071
[SPEAKER_03]: He already lied twice.
09:15.611 --> 09:25.014
[SPEAKER_03]: He'll try it about not seeing the content and why it about not filing, not getting advice, not to file a super-seeking indictment within 60 days.
09:25.034 --> 09:25.674
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, Jaxman?
09:25.694 --> 09:27.375
[SPEAKER_03]: Jaxman is not credible.
09:28.627 --> 09:30.509
[SPEAKER_03]: He gave his answer, and I guess that's his answer.
09:30.689 --> 09:34.172
[SPEAKER_09]: It just looked like you had a gut chip for him, like you're going to purge yourself, are you dying now?
09:34.192 --> 09:36.333
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, he was at a basketball game.
09:36.714 --> 09:38.655
[SPEAKER_03]: But they asked him if he was in the land.
09:38.695 --> 09:39.836
[SPEAKER_03]: He said, no, he said it was the other game.
09:39.856 --> 09:40.457
[SPEAKER_03]: That's his answer.
09:40.537 --> 09:42.718
[SPEAKER_03]: So, that's true.
09:42.738 --> 09:45.361
[SPEAKER_03]: I asked him if he was in the land of the only NBA game going on.
09:45.741 --> 09:50.505
[SPEAKER_03]: That actually the only NCAA men's game or NBA game with the 7.30 tip-off was in Atlanta.
09:50.765 --> 09:52.086
[SPEAKER_03]: So I asked him if he was in Atlanta that night.
09:52.106 --> 09:54.268
[SPEAKER_09]: But it seemed like you were trying to get him, rather than you.
09:54.288 --> 09:55.149
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I asked him if he was in Atlanta.
09:55.329 --> 09:56.950
[SPEAKER_03]: I asked him if he was in the hockey game in Atlanta.
09:57.288 --> 10:00.810
[SPEAKER_03]: because we're trying to figure out how much coordination took place between him and the Atlanta Prosecure.
10:00.990 --> 10:06.493
[SPEAKER_09]: So no, no heads are going to roll like, it's sort of thing like, who have a gaping that information isn't like, if it's right as a jeopardy.
10:06.593 --> 10:08.374
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I asked him a question like, were you in Atlanta?
10:08.474 --> 10:10.876
[SPEAKER_03]: He answered, no, it's like, no, that's not one.
10:10.896 --> 10:12.777
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm going to take him in his word that he wasn't in Atlanta.
10:12.797 --> 10:16.419
[SPEAKER_03]: He's making that, because I wasn't like you embarrassing moment or something from where you'll stay.
10:16.439 --> 10:17.239
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I asked questions.
10:17.740 --> 10:19.721
[SPEAKER_03]: I asked questions, and we'll see if he answered truthfully.
10:19.741 --> 10:21.201
[SPEAKER_03]: He's not answered completely before.
10:21.262 --> 10:21.982
[SPEAKER_03]: So, no.
10:22.102 --> 10:23.643
[SPEAKER_03]: Inside of, that's the truth or not.
10:23.663 --> 10:23.863
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean,
10:24.317 --> 10:42.901
[SPEAKER_03]: I suppose that the Department of Justice can ask him really where he was that night, I don't know, I asked him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him to ask him
10:43.101 --> 10:45.743
[SPEAKER_03]: and the only NBA game that night was in this shit.
10:45.883 --> 10:46.804
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, got your men here.
10:46.824 --> 10:47.524
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you, Eric.
10:47.544 --> 10:48.245
[SPEAKER_03]: I appreciate your men.
10:48.265 --> 10:50.927
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, does he said, got your man, gotcha?
10:52.088 --> 10:52.828
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know that.
10:52.848 --> 10:53.749
[SPEAKER_01]: Fucking liar.
10:54.129 --> 10:54.789
[SPEAKER_01]: What a liar.
10:54.809 --> 10:55.010
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
10:55.370 --> 10:56.010
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
10:56.290 --> 10:59.913
[SPEAKER_04]: And this will, this will get snipped up and it's already gotten snipped up and fed.
11:00.333 --> 11:02.055
[SPEAKER_04]: And little bites to Fox News audience.
11:02.395 --> 11:03.596
[SPEAKER_04]: They're never going to hear about this.
11:04.396 --> 11:09.843
[SPEAKER_04]: It'll come across that you we got him we got him we put you was lying You know, this is all just it was one question.
11:09.924 --> 11:10.544
[SPEAKER_04]: It was one thing.
11:10.584 --> 11:22.099
[SPEAKER_04]: It doesn't even matter and you know, and and so we will all know what happened Yes, but we know because we saw it you saw it we saw it Yeah, and we're stunning
11:22.725 --> 11:27.306
[SPEAKER_04]: It was, I mean, we have to change the expression to Schmidt the bed now, because he Schmidt the bed.
11:27.346 --> 11:28.526
[SPEAKER_04]: He Smith the hell out of that bed.
11:30.646 --> 11:34.847
[SPEAKER_04]: And he got caught, and he did, and this was the thing, this was, this was the peak moment.
11:34.887 --> 11:46.449
[SPEAKER_04]: This was his great moment, he was going to deliver for the dear leader, he was going to deliver Jackson's head on a plate, and this was the proof, the final proof, and then God, Amy
11:52.190 --> 11:52.811
[SPEAKER_01]: All guys.
11:53.011 --> 11:53.311
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
11:53.331 --> 11:54.773
[SPEAKER_04]: That's all different.
11:55.053 --> 11:55.233
[SPEAKER_04]: No.
11:55.493 --> 11:55.793
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
11:55.934 --> 11:56.794
[SPEAKER_01]: Amy Klobuchar.
11:57.315 --> 11:58.556
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is the video.
11:58.776 --> 11:59.096
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, here.
11:59.116 --> 11:59.917
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all to put.
11:59.937 --> 12:00.137
[SPEAKER_06]: There's.
12:00.197 --> 12:01.338
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, wrong one.
12:01.539 --> 12:02.479
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
12:02.539 --> 12:03.400
[SPEAKER_01]: I hate when I do that.
12:03.440 --> 12:03.741
[SPEAKER_01]: Hold on.
12:03.761 --> 12:04.882
[SPEAKER_01]: I just had Amy Klobuchar.
12:05.382 --> 12:06.323
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was the, um,
12:09.003 --> 12:10.244
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a lot of it.
12:10.284 --> 12:11.606
[SPEAKER_00]: We have come back to that.
12:11.746 --> 12:18.991
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, you were right, Mr. Smith, Iowa, the Iowa Hawkeyes, played Maryland on February 3rd, 2024.
12:19.352 --> 12:21.914
[SPEAKER_00]: The final score was 93 to 85, Iowa 1 and Caitlin Clark scored.
12:28.065 --> 12:29.866
[SPEAKER_00]: over scored 30 points.
12:29.926 --> 12:31.348
[SPEAKER_00]: So it must have been a pretty good game.
12:31.608 --> 12:34.050
[SPEAKER_00]: The game was, in fact, in Maryland, Mr. Smith.
12:34.390 --> 12:36.291
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would just say for a U.S.
12:36.311 --> 12:56.126
[SPEAKER_00]: Senator to have false information and imply based on a confusion about the name of a team, which I knew, knowing my Midwestern sports and imply that you were in another city that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia and then call you a dirt bag is something that deserves an apology.
12:56.470 --> 12:59.152
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, Mr. Smith, you who she was great.
12:59.673 --> 13:00.633
[SPEAKER_00]: You want it?
13:00.653 --> 13:02.395
[SPEAKER_04]: She was, and they had to think fast.
13:02.835 --> 13:03.336
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah.
13:03.596 --> 13:11.462
[SPEAKER_04]: She and her staff, and the staff that got her the information right away that delivered you know what happened when and who's there and so on and so forth, they had to move swiftly.
13:11.502 --> 13:12.563
[SPEAKER_04]: And she had to think on her feet.
13:12.663 --> 13:13.044
[SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
13:13.184 --> 13:19.109
[SPEAKER_04]: And she really just, and was that nice soft Midwestern Minnesota dagger to the heart, you know?
13:19.549 --> 13:20.770
[SPEAKER_04]: This is sweet as can be.
13:21.551 --> 13:23.993
[SPEAKER_04]: Now of course, if this had been a Democrat,
13:24.633 --> 13:24.793
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes.
13:24.833 --> 13:32.440
[SPEAKER_04]: This would be the only talking point on ABC news won't meet the press for weeks.
13:32.680 --> 13:34.162
[SPEAKER_04]: This would be the story.
13:34.262 --> 13:34.462
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
13:34.482 --> 13:42.729
[SPEAKER_04]: But it was public and since everyone knows Republicans are liars may allow the time they lied to TMZ and they lied to their their people and they just want to get coffee just lie then.
13:43.590 --> 13:47.093
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like, well, I guess another Republican got caught lying, you know, filmed at 11.
13:47.113 --> 13:47.674
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's move on.
13:47.774 --> 13:48.755
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, no, no, no.
13:49.095 --> 13:50.755
[SPEAKER_01]: Did anybody cover it last night?
13:50.775 --> 13:51.876
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't watch local news.
13:52.196 --> 13:53.676
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't really watch network news.
13:53.896 --> 13:55.117
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know what happened.
13:55.517 --> 13:56.417
[SPEAKER_01]: David's here, yeah.
13:56.797 --> 13:58.498
[SPEAKER_06]: Hi, pardon me.
13:58.518 --> 14:03.839
[SPEAKER_06]: Saying, Amy Clay, saying she was great is not something that I generally say much about Amy Club of Charbich, you guys.
14:04.479 --> 14:06.620
[SPEAKER_06]: And for those of you who may not be aware of it,
14:07.620 --> 14:08.141
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
14:08.301 --> 14:16.504
[SPEAKER_06]: Amy Klobuchar's father was a sports writer for I can't remember it was either the sink Paul Pioneer press or the Minneapolis Star Tribute.
14:16.884 --> 14:23.487
[SPEAKER_06]: So it doesn't surprise me that she knows who the Iowa Hawkeyes are considering that Iowa and Minnesota share a border.
14:25.062 --> 14:25.923
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, thank you, David.
14:25.943 --> 14:28.465
[SPEAKER_01]: No, apparently she is a sports fan, too.
14:28.625 --> 14:30.026
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe she got it from her father.
14:30.827 --> 14:32.728
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, who knew?
14:33.148 --> 14:35.610
[SPEAKER_01]: No, you know, my dad, my dad wasn't a sports fan.
14:35.630 --> 14:36.791
[SPEAKER_01]: He was a sports gambler.
14:37.572 --> 14:37.692
[SPEAKER_01]: Ah.
14:38.072 --> 14:42.175
[SPEAKER_01]: He would have, on Sundays, he would have like three TVs in the den.
14:42.936 --> 14:45.738
[SPEAKER_01]: Or three, three TVs in a radio going.
14:46.058 --> 14:51.843
[SPEAKER_01]: So, he, you know, he actually, he wrote a book called How to Beat the Bookies of Pro Football.
14:52.683 --> 15:10.259
[SPEAKER_01]: And because he came up with a whole system, he had his cards and his numbers and I a couple of years ago, I was trying to recruit somebody who knows football to update the system because this was like in 1972 and so much has changed.
15:10.339 --> 15:16.425
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, between the players, the roles of the game, the numbers, the games they play,
15:16.945 --> 15:25.195
[SPEAKER_01]: So we tried to do it and like he was going to try to write a program and automate it all to which I'm sure is possible now.
15:25.535 --> 15:26.436
[SPEAKER_01]: That was 1972.
15:26.496 --> 15:32.944
[SPEAKER_01]: We didn't have computers, personal computers, but I don't think it's possible because too much of about the game has changed.
15:33.505 --> 15:35.187
[SPEAKER_01]: But if anybody wants to try and let me know.
15:36.185 --> 15:47.532
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sure all those sports betting outfits have teams of programmers to make sure they know the odds making sure you can bet anything one that's been a little bit.
15:47.612 --> 15:56.377
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh yes, you can and so on and they don't like to lose so I'm sure they have the odds calculated to affair the well and every little details are going to take care.
15:56.497 --> 15:58.258
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably better than my dad's system.
15:58.824 --> 16:07.013
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I never got I never got the pleasure of gambling I never got that like playing cards like shooting pool I will take your money when you shoot pool, but that's not gambling.
16:07.033 --> 16:15.442
[SPEAKER_04]: That's just me being better than you I I never got the allure of gambling It was like well winning is fun losing some mix
16:15.882 --> 16:16.642
[SPEAKER_04]: Wait, it's fun.
16:17.123 --> 16:18.163
[SPEAKER_04]: Every election is a gamble.
16:18.183 --> 16:23.886
[SPEAKER_04]: So I guess I get my gambling fixed with, you know, breaking my heart, living in Chicago with the with the cubs for years and years.
16:23.906 --> 16:24.246
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
16:24.987 --> 16:29.629
[SPEAKER_04]: And every election is like down to the freaking wire, you know, who knows who knows who knows.
16:29.669 --> 16:37.913
[SPEAKER_04]: And the stakes are all with, you know, possibly higher, but the people I used to work at CNA insurance as a computer program a million years ago downtown Chicago.
16:38.533 --> 16:54.063
[SPEAKER_04]: And there were like three or four guys and we'll take the red eye to Vegas every Friday and come back broke and hung over every Monday And that was their thing that was their whole thing is get down to a hair take the plane out blow a bunch of cash Maybe win some stuff and this was
16:55.406 --> 16:56.127
[SPEAKER_04]: This is what you did.
16:56.427 --> 16:57.287
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, this is what you had.
16:57.307 --> 16:59.209
[SPEAKER_04]: And we had good programming pain pretty good.
16:59.749 --> 17:00.850
[SPEAKER_04]: And I love doing that sort of thing.
17:00.930 --> 17:02.832
[SPEAKER_04]: And we had a long grade on every other level.
17:02.852 --> 17:04.293
[SPEAKER_04]: But I just, I never got the allure.
17:04.313 --> 17:06.474
[SPEAKER_04]: I never understood what it is that drives them.
17:06.494 --> 17:12.499
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I see, and I was never wealthy enough to be willing to part with my money.
17:12.519 --> 17:19.825
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I had a few good years when I was in Los Angeles I did very well, but still not enough that I wanted to risk losing my money.
17:19.845 --> 17:23.948
[SPEAKER_01]: And if when I was in Vegas, I would give myself, okay, you can take 50 bucks.
17:24.765 --> 17:25.565
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's it.
17:25.645 --> 17:31.448
[SPEAKER_01]: When you lose that, you're done and I was done because I was, you know, not good at it.
17:31.769 --> 17:36.631
[SPEAKER_04]: So, right, I have, I have, in my life, never been to a casino.
17:37.591 --> 17:38.312
[SPEAKER_04]: Why?
17:38.772 --> 17:39.632
[SPEAKER_04]: Never in a new casino.
17:39.713 --> 17:42.474
[SPEAKER_04]: I have no interest in going to a casino.
17:42.494 --> 17:47.737
[SPEAKER_04]: I am an admirer of the genre of gambling and con man movies.
17:48.097 --> 17:49.017
[SPEAKER_04]: Deeply my ring.
17:49.137 --> 17:49.397
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
17:49.517 --> 17:51.739
[SPEAKER_04]: I love the slim flame man with George C. Scott.
17:51.759 --> 17:52.679
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I like the whole genre.
17:55.040 --> 18:01.867
[SPEAKER_04]: Because you know, just like these are just a way to separate people from their money while surrounding the bright lights and sheep food.
18:02.348 --> 18:04.810
[SPEAKER_04]: So I never got like I said, wow.
18:05.011 --> 18:05.611
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
18:05.791 --> 18:06.632
[SPEAKER_01]: That's interesting.
18:07.053 --> 18:07.934
[SPEAKER_01]: That is interesting.
18:09.035 --> 18:09.375
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
18:09.555 --> 18:13.699
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, so were you were you not at Network's Nation in Vegas?
18:14.821 --> 18:16.682
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I met you that year.
18:17.003 --> 18:22.268
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was my first time there and we had a little little gathering and I know you're occasionally on Brad Friedman's show.
18:22.728 --> 18:23.950
[SPEAKER_01]: So yes, you are.
18:24.470 --> 18:27.053
[SPEAKER_00]: And so Brad, Brad's a gambler.
18:27.693 --> 18:28.434
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no.
18:28.534 --> 18:28.694
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
18:28.995 --> 18:33.039
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, he was trying to show us all how to play video poker.
18:34.022 --> 18:38.224
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it was me and Jason Leopold and a couple other people.
18:38.765 --> 18:42.927
[SPEAKER_01]: And Jason was getting the hang of it.
18:43.187 --> 18:49.311
[SPEAKER_01]: And he had like the winning hand and Brad's like, you was about to tell me what?
18:49.371 --> 18:52.853
[SPEAKER_00]: And he had to read, you know, read, give do the hand.
18:53.935 --> 18:59.261
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, now Brad says when somebody really like screws up on a belt, like he would have won some money.
18:59.721 --> 19:00.922
[SPEAKER_01]: He had something.
19:00.962 --> 19:04.065
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember what I'm a full house or a flush or a something there.
19:04.406 --> 19:08.590
[SPEAKER_01]: And he hit read, you know, redraw or something, whatever it says.
19:08.730 --> 19:10.372
[SPEAKER_01]: You pulled it, you pulled a leopold.
19:12.066 --> 19:22.329
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so there's a new new synonym for my ex is aunt Will go every year and come back five grand six ran a richer every time.
19:22.349 --> 19:26.470
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well always will a little bit not never got never got rich But thoroughly enjoyed it.
19:26.650 --> 19:30.651
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't fault anyone If that's your thing if it gets you off that's great.
19:30.711 --> 19:31.312
[SPEAKER_04]: Go and enjoy.
19:31.332 --> 19:31.972
[SPEAKER_04]: I have a great time.
19:31.992 --> 19:36.193
[SPEAKER_04]: There's certain things my wife Is is is a cruise person.
19:36.233 --> 19:36.793
[SPEAKER_04]: She likes to go.
19:36.813 --> 19:38.854
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, just for you know a couple of days.
19:38.874 --> 19:39.414
[SPEAKER_04]: She put a cruise
19:40.114 --> 19:41.755
[SPEAKER_04]: I can never saw the lure in that either.
19:41.775 --> 19:47.516
[SPEAKER_04]: I never understood why you wouldn't just go to the place you're going, rather than you've got an opponent.
19:47.536 --> 19:47.736
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
19:47.756 --> 19:49.217
[SPEAKER_01]: See, I've never done a cruise.
19:49.657 --> 19:54.398
[SPEAKER_01]: The main thing is not only, I'm not claustrophobic, but you can't leave.
19:54.758 --> 19:56.279
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like being stuck in a hotel.
19:56.739 --> 19:58.819
[SPEAKER_01]: If I go to a city, you know, great.
19:58.839 --> 20:01.800
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to be in a nice hotel, but I want to leave.
20:01.840 --> 20:04.261
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to be able to open the door and go, but on a ship.
20:05.092 --> 20:06.013
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.
20:06.453 --> 20:08.895
[SPEAKER_04]: But big water, calm certain people.
20:08.975 --> 20:11.577
[SPEAKER_04]: I love live, I live like most of the time with Chicago.
20:11.597 --> 20:13.598
[SPEAKER_04]: I live in football, watch from like Michigan.
20:14.019 --> 20:15.340
[SPEAKER_04]: Big water is very calming.
20:16.480 --> 20:21.304
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the people around you where nice, there's plenty to eat and you quiet in the plenty of libraries in entertainment.
20:21.684 --> 20:22.865
[SPEAKER_04]: I, okay, that's cool.
20:23.165 --> 20:24.186
[SPEAKER_04]: I think that's great.
20:24.266 --> 20:27.549
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think, you know, once we put together enough scratch,
20:28.189 --> 20:31.930
[SPEAKER_04]: you know every couple years that she can go to take a little mental health break.
20:32.010 --> 20:32.710
[SPEAKER_04]: That's terrific.
20:32.730 --> 20:33.491
[SPEAKER_04]: That's wonderful.
20:33.551 --> 20:35.191
[SPEAKER_04]: That's an investment in her mental health.
20:35.211 --> 20:35.451
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
20:35.611 --> 20:37.272
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like me going to a beach somewhere.
20:37.632 --> 20:38.512
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll go to a beach.
20:38.672 --> 20:48.495
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, look, I grew up from 11 to, you know, when I went to college in Hollywood, Florida, 10 minutes, if that from the beach.
20:48.595 --> 20:49.456
[SPEAKER_01]: We're right now.
20:49.836 --> 20:50.796
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you saw this.
20:51.476 --> 20:52.156
[SPEAKER_01]: My town.
20:52.397 --> 20:54.197
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I was used when I lived there.
20:54.237 --> 20:56.938
[SPEAKER_01]: Miami would flood when King Tide came in.
20:57.398 --> 21:01.701
[SPEAKER_01]: And we'd see like, like, South Beach, the streets would be flooded.
21:02.221 --> 21:07.264
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, now it happened in a Hollywood beach where, you know, there's the broadwalk.
21:07.844 --> 21:11.286
[SPEAKER_01]: And when that's our old hangout, there's the ban shell of Johnson Street.
21:11.686 --> 21:15.749
[SPEAKER_01]: And I saw a video of water coming up to the ban shell.
21:15.769 --> 21:18.670
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, oh my god, our old hangouts.
21:19.031 --> 21:21.752
[SPEAKER_01]: And it went further, further west than that.
21:21.772 --> 21:23.333
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it never happened before.
21:23.773 --> 21:24.994
[SPEAKER_01]: And that gets used to it.
21:26.773 --> 21:29.435
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the new super-alignew, or what time is sure.
21:29.936 --> 21:30.276
[SPEAKER_01]: It is.
21:30.576 --> 21:31.697
[SPEAKER_01]: It was from the El Nino.
21:31.737 --> 21:39.224
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, the interesting thing, though, about the El Nino, is it's stopping, today is September 30th.
21:39.865 --> 21:42.247
[SPEAKER_01]: Burnt Cain season ends November 30th.
21:42.587 --> 21:43.828
[SPEAKER_01]: This is late in the season.
21:43.868 --> 21:46.831
[SPEAKER_01]: If you haven't had one by now, something weird is going on.
21:47.151 --> 21:50.874
[SPEAKER_01]: Florida has not been threatened by a single hurricane this season.
21:51.575 --> 21:53.036
[SPEAKER_01]: That's never happened before.
21:53.416 --> 21:56.519
[SPEAKER_01]: However, the West Coast is getting hit.
21:56.979 --> 22:02.603
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a hurricane like right at around Cabo, San Lucas, just south of California.
22:03.404 --> 22:05.665
[SPEAKER_01]: There's an arbitrary line drawn there.
22:05.926 --> 22:09.988
[SPEAKER_01]: And they say after it hits Cabo, it will threaten the West Coast of the states.
22:10.089 --> 22:12.210
[SPEAKER_01]: I forget a name, low bow or something.
22:12.490 --> 22:13.651
[SPEAKER_04]: There's like, yeah, there's low.
22:19.075 --> 22:20.816
[SPEAKER_04]: you know, the terrible twins.
22:21.136 --> 22:28.160
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you know, I, I, my, my old hangouts in Chicago are gratefully inland by several miles.
22:28.641 --> 22:35.264
[SPEAKER_04]: So I don't need to worry that the ginger man will be flooded or but you know, writing down the lake front on a bike on a sunny day.
22:35.284 --> 22:38.586
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just, just, just, oh, yeah, yes, right.
22:38.786 --> 22:39.167
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
22:39.207 --> 22:40.407
[SPEAKER_01]: No, see, I love the water too.
22:40.467 --> 22:41.408
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't want you.
22:41.468 --> 22:42.489
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to be able to leave.
22:43.209 --> 22:48.653
[SPEAKER_01]: like I want to at the end of the day when I'm done with the sand and the water, I want to be able to go home.
22:49.033 --> 22:52.615
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it's the one thing I miss here in Arizona is the beach.
22:53.736 --> 22:59.620
[SPEAKER_01]: I hear there's a beach in Mexico, a place called Rocky Point that I'd never heard of before.
23:00.020 --> 23:09.126
[SPEAKER_01]: Apparently it's about a four-hour drive from here and it's where like the college kids from ASU would go on spring break and I only know this.
23:10.067 --> 23:18.830
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, well, I know about Rocky, Rocky Point because, you know, we've been house hunting, we have to move again because we're renting out here, right?
23:18.890 --> 23:20.770
[SPEAKER_01]: And it what a pain in the ass.
23:20.850 --> 23:34.534
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, in one rental we looked at the tenant who's moving out was there and it was this woman who looked kind of like a, you know, kind of like a beach person and turns out she owns a dive shop in
23:38.050 --> 23:38.811
[SPEAKER_01]: is in the army.
23:39.391 --> 23:41.173
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's actually right now in Israel.
23:41.953 --> 23:42.254
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay.
23:42.294 --> 23:42.614
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
23:43.174 --> 23:48.298
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, she's leaving here and going back to Rocky Point to, you know, teach people diving.
23:48.318 --> 23:49.079
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm a diver.
23:49.379 --> 23:50.460
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't gone diving in years.
23:50.620 --> 23:55.604
[SPEAKER_01]: It might be one of the my most favorite things in the world to do scuba diving.
23:56.125 --> 23:58.627
[SPEAKER_01]: She said, oh, God, I love it.
23:58.927 --> 24:02.190
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's been since before my lung cancer surgery,
24:03.030 --> 24:03.911
[SPEAKER_01]: that I've been diving.
24:03.931 --> 24:05.211
[SPEAKER_01]: And I want to, you know, I'm getting old.
24:05.471 --> 24:06.512
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to do it again.
24:06.632 --> 24:09.773
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I'm going to have to take a trip down there because it is great.
24:10.794 --> 24:11.354
[SPEAKER_01]: Scoopa diving.
24:11.374 --> 24:16.977
[SPEAKER_01]: When you're around like a cool, re-faria, it reminds you go somewhere else.
24:17.377 --> 24:26.741
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I'd imagine I'm in an old western, you know, like an old western, because the fish come darting out from behind the coral, you know, that looks like a cactus.
24:27.122 --> 24:29.483
[SPEAKER_01]: The darting out and they go in and out and
24:30.423 --> 24:31.385
[SPEAKER_01]: it's a whole world.
24:31.485 --> 24:41.316
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a different world and you're flying over it all and seeing it because it feels like you're flying when you're swimming under the deep water.
24:41.757 --> 24:44.480
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's sort of trippy, but it's awesome.
24:45.600 --> 24:48.381
[SPEAKER_04]: my best friend from high school who passed away school with diving.
24:48.501 --> 24:48.821
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh no.
24:48.901 --> 24:49.802
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
24:50.122 --> 24:51.322
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of the wrong ones are regulators.
24:51.342 --> 24:54.063
[SPEAKER_04]: He's taking us to an experimental equipment that couldn't get him in time.
24:54.303 --> 24:54.763
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh shit.
24:54.783 --> 24:55.584
[SPEAKER_01]: That happens.
24:55.784 --> 24:57.584
[SPEAKER_04]: But he loved it.
24:57.604 --> 24:57.785
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
24:57.845 --> 25:00.365
[SPEAKER_04]: He would, he would, he would live for that sort of thing.
25:00.385 --> 25:01.146
[SPEAKER_04]: He lived in Florida.
25:01.326 --> 25:03.147
[SPEAKER_04]: He would, he would work on boats.
25:03.187 --> 25:03.527
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
25:03.587 --> 25:05.587
[SPEAKER_04]: School ofiving was his sanctuary.
25:05.607 --> 25:07.048
[SPEAKER_04]: His, you know, way to find peace and water.
25:07.248 --> 25:07.468
[SPEAKER_01]: right.
25:07.508 --> 25:08.971
[SPEAKER_01]: So he died doing what he loved.
25:09.431 --> 25:09.712
[SPEAKER_01]: He did.
25:10.793 --> 25:12.276
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just I'm just my friend every day.
25:12.416 --> 25:13.417
[SPEAKER_04]: So he was a great guy.
25:13.437 --> 25:15.761
[SPEAKER_04]: My was my debate partner in high school for one year.
25:15.841 --> 25:16.562
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah.
25:16.863 --> 25:18.044
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm sorry for your loss.
25:18.205 --> 25:23.012
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, but because you said it now, David is going to at least.
25:23.512 --> 25:27.135
[SPEAKER_01]: You really shouldn't go, you know, he's very, very protective.
25:27.195 --> 25:29.176
[SPEAKER_04]: This was an experimental equipment.
25:29.236 --> 25:30.577
[SPEAKER_04]: Environmental requesting out.
25:30.677 --> 25:31.518
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
25:31.858 --> 25:35.200
[SPEAKER_04]: And it was very much, you know, the kind of, like, cutting edge.
25:35.260 --> 25:36.561
[SPEAKER_04]: No, this is going to work, right?
25:36.581 --> 25:36.941
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
25:36.961 --> 25:37.842
[SPEAKER_04]: And you just couldn't get into it.
25:39.723 --> 25:42.807
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, God, there's all kinds of levels of safety.
25:42.827 --> 25:50.355
[SPEAKER_01]: If your main thing doesn't work, you have a reserve and there's stuff, and I, well, I used to go deep, but I wouldn't go that deep.
25:50.395 --> 25:53.519
[SPEAKER_01]: Now because I haven't been in a long time, so, anyway, you know.
25:54.820 --> 25:58.082
[SPEAKER_04]: At our age, we racked up losses of friends and family.
25:58.263 --> 25:59.804
[SPEAKER_04]: So these things happen.
26:00.204 --> 26:04.747
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the price we pay for being a lot of human on the roof and keeps having and you know.
26:05.048 --> 26:18.918
[SPEAKER_04]: And what we hope at least this is I believe the hopeful all liberals everywhere because I speak as you know for all liberals everywhere is we want to leave this place at least as good or better than we found it for our children and our grandchildren and every for everyone.
26:19.058 --> 26:19.658
[SPEAKER_04]: Right everyone.
26:20.058 --> 26:22.060
[SPEAKER_04]: That is the liberal ethos in like one sentence.
26:22.220 --> 26:22.501
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
26:22.601 --> 26:23.282
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're not.
26:23.463 --> 26:25.266
[SPEAKER_01]: That's that's the really sad thing.
26:25.787 --> 26:26.649
[SPEAKER_01]: We are not trying.
26:26.909 --> 26:27.611
[SPEAKER_04]: We're trying hard.
26:27.671 --> 26:27.791
[SPEAKER_04]: But
26:28.983 --> 26:50.274
[SPEAKER_01]: and the odds these these the people who don't want to do that people just want to burn the planet to the ground is trying everything did you hear the latest so the the fuel standards on cars by whatever 20 35 we're supposed to be it almost just under 50 out 50 miles per gallon and motor vehicles right.
26:51.235 --> 26:54.696
[SPEAKER_01]: He decided to change it to just under I think 35.
26:56.311 --> 26:58.492
[SPEAKER_01]: Why, why on earth would you do that?
26:59.072 --> 27:01.813
[SPEAKER_01]: Gas is now fucking $5 a gallon here.
27:02.153 --> 27:05.574
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and because of him, that's the only reason.
27:06.034 --> 27:08.895
[SPEAKER_01]: That he, usually it's not the president's fault.
27:08.935 --> 27:11.756
[SPEAKER_01]: The president is nothing to do with the price of gas.
27:12.076 --> 27:18.878
[SPEAKER_01]: This time it does, because he started this war when everybody told him not to.
27:18.898 --> 27:22.019
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, everybody told him not to, and he did it anyway.
27:22.559 --> 27:23.620
[SPEAKER_04]: One guy told him to do it.
27:25.515 --> 27:25.775
[SPEAKER_04]: No.
27:26.455 --> 27:31.498
[SPEAKER_04]: Bibi, tell them, Bibi, tell them, Bibi, of course, Bibi, right?
27:31.838 --> 27:33.419
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, his hit.
27:33.539 --> 27:42.783
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a great cartoon today of Trump as an auto pen, and it shows Bibi as the auto pen, controlling him.
27:43.183 --> 27:47.245
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the other one shows G, controlling the auto pen, that is Trump.
27:48.305 --> 27:49.766
[SPEAKER_04]: I think you might be talking about my blog.
27:49.926 --> 27:51.308
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I did see it on your blog.
27:51.608 --> 27:57.955
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it was on it was that drift glass that blog spot calm Look that was that was yeah, actually was it's then it was um.
27:58.356 --> 27:58.556
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
27:59.096 --> 28:00.458
[SPEAKER_01]: I probably have it right here then.
28:00.798 --> 28:01.639
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh and David's back.
28:01.779 --> 28:02.060
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes
28:02.370 --> 28:04.111
[SPEAKER_06]: You and I had this discussion last night.
28:04.191 --> 28:09.533
[SPEAKER_06]: BB is not solely responsible for telling Comrade Cankles to start the war in Iran.
28:09.673 --> 28:09.933
[SPEAKER_06]: No.
28:09.973 --> 28:10.994
[SPEAKER_06]: It is very viable.
28:11.034 --> 28:12.775
[SPEAKER_06]: You can look it up on the Washington Post.
28:13.255 --> 28:19.077
[SPEAKER_06]: MBS told Trump he wanted him to hit Iran and hit them hard.
28:19.517 --> 28:21.758
[SPEAKER_06]: More than one time MBS did this.
28:22.159 --> 28:27.621
[SPEAKER_06]: And MBS owns Comrade Cankles, La Stock and Barrel.
28:27.821 --> 28:31.229
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that is not at thriftclass.plugs.com.
28:31.249 --> 28:35.418
[SPEAKER_01]: Just tell you what I saw on that brilliant blog that everybody should read.
28:35.438 --> 28:37.463
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're she all and there's Putin.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, so didn't I see someone else who did I say it was you said it was baby.
28:43.534 --> 28:46.576
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I said it was baby and baby's not either one of those Look at that.
28:46.596 --> 28:47.277
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
28:47.297 --> 28:47.917
[SPEAKER_01]: I got it wrong.
28:48.838 --> 28:49.078
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
28:49.418 --> 28:53.181
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, well see I We correct ourselves in the time.
28:53.201 --> 28:54.062
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't we this is all right?
28:54.082 --> 28:55.443
[SPEAKER_04]: This is already when we're wrong.
28:55.463 --> 28:58.185
[SPEAKER_04]: We make a little mistake We correct ourselves.
28:58.265 --> 28:59.626
[SPEAKER_01]: We say I was wrong.
28:59.966 --> 29:00.667
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.
29:00.707 --> 29:01.107
[SPEAKER_01]: I fucked up.
29:01.127 --> 29:01.527
[SPEAKER_01]: You're right.
29:01.748 --> 29:06.211
[SPEAKER_01]: It was the hot guys my bad We asked him if he went to a basketball game
29:08.288 --> 29:09.445
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, when you're stuck, you're stuck.
29:10.430 --> 29:11.370
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's true.
29:11.911 --> 29:31.899
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll tell you what, we got to take a break here, but when we come back, an example of Eric Schmidt, not willing to admit, he was wrong, not willing to admit, he fucked up, TMZ caught up with him today.
29:32.940 --> 29:35.021
[SPEAKER_01]: And we've got the video, all right?
29:35.121 --> 29:38.162
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'll give that to you in just a moment, stick around, I'm Nicole Sandler.
29:42.583 --> 29:49.405
[SPEAKER_07]: These are the sounds of despair from former radio personalities, languishing in the purgatory of corporate consolidation.
29:50.285 --> 30:01.149
[SPEAKER_07]: These former radio personalities have lost their livelihoods, and because they don't need today's corporate terrestrial broadcast standards of being smelly overweight douchebags, seizing with vain popping hatred.
30:01.189 --> 30:03.609
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, wait, now wait a minute, that's a bit much.
30:03.949 --> 30:07.750
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not all smelly, certainly not all overweight, so stop.
30:08.331 --> 30:09.331
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, continue.
30:10.011 --> 30:18.457
[SPEAKER_07]: These radio refugees and their audiences have since migrated to the internet, but their struggle continues as the quest for monetization and sues.
30:19.017 --> 30:20.898
[SPEAKER_07]: Nicole Sandler is leading the way.
30:21.239 --> 30:26.642

[SPEAKER_07]: Won't you help?
30:49.215 --> 30:49.515
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
30:54.017 --> 30:54.958
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get back into it.
30:55.703 --> 31:00.468
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm just, I don't know about you, but I'm just counting the days until the midterm elections.
31:01.028 --> 31:02.630
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, right now we're kind of limbo.
31:02.690 --> 31:05.453
[SPEAKER_04]: The balls are all in the air, et cetera, everything is in motion.
31:06.013 --> 31:09.657
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm trying not to be too hopeful.
31:10.498 --> 31:19.066
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm trying not to be, you know, I just, there's a line from, you know, touchables where they're waiting to raid a bridge in Canada.
31:20.009 --> 31:28.636
[SPEAKER_04]: And Sean Connery and his guys are there and his guys are all nervous and he goes, look, don't want it to happen, don't wait for it to happen.
31:28.876 --> 31:33.319
[SPEAKER_04]: Just basically do your job, relax, whatever's going to happen is going to happen.
31:33.460 --> 31:46.630
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm going to keep my head in that space right now, which is, whatever's going to happen, I can't control it, I can't steer it, the ball is in the air, and I think it's going to bounce very favorably for the Democrats.
31:47.701 --> 31:56.090
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, and I, I'm sort of, but I'm really hoping there are people who are doing strategic planning for, okay, when Democrats win, then what?
31:56.231 --> 31:56.551
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
31:57.192 --> 31:59.174
[SPEAKER_04]: If Democrats win both houses, then what?
31:59.774 --> 32:03.599
[SPEAKER_04]: If Democrats win both houses, what are the first five things you're going to do?
32:04.540 --> 32:12.913
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, those sorts of, I really do hope that there are people somewhere in a room somewhere thinking this through going, you know, that in midterms there are D-Day.
32:13.073 --> 32:13.294
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
32:13.354 --> 32:14.676
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope it's the right way over.
32:14.896 --> 32:18.322
[SPEAKER_01]: The right people like Jamie Raskin, I'm sure is thinking about those things.
32:19.383 --> 32:46.115
[SPEAKER_01]: But others, I'm not so sure, but that's why we vote to make sure we put in the right people to take control, to do things, you know, there's so many things that need fixing all the shit that he's torn down and not only, you know, buildings that I'm talking about, but norms that he's torn down, restoring the rule of law, restoring, you know,
32:46.595 --> 32:55.242
[SPEAKER_01]: that following the orders of the courts, you know, restoring the integrity of the country and our reputation around the world.
32:55.782 --> 32:56.963
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, that's important.
32:57.283 --> 32:59.785
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's going to be, well, I'm now I'm thinking ahead to 28.
33:00.405 --> 33:06.270
[SPEAKER_01]: We need, we're going to need a great secretary of state who can repair the relationships that these people fucked up.
33:06.852 --> 33:12.117
[SPEAKER_04]: And I want because you know, they gave Obama all kinds of shit for going on in his apology tour, which is not an apology tour.
33:12.137 --> 33:13.999
[SPEAKER_04]: It was, it was a repair tour.
33:14.039 --> 33:14.299
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
33:14.740 --> 33:19.985
[SPEAKER_04]: I want the next president of the next Secretary of State who's a Democrat to lean into the apology, said of course on the poll.
33:20.025 --> 33:20.946
[SPEAKER_04]: You guys fucked everything up.
33:21.106 --> 33:22.527
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything that guy was a moron.
33:22.768 --> 33:24.269
[SPEAKER_01]: He had no business being there.
33:24.930 --> 33:28.673
[SPEAKER_01]: The country, you know, lost their shit for a few years.
33:30.195 --> 33:31.335
[SPEAKER_04]: But we're about, right?
33:31.415 --> 33:39.520
[SPEAKER_04]: Say, we, we, I'll tell the, what Democrat Republican voters, I have to go around the world of apologizing for you, fucks because you broke everything.
33:39.721 --> 33:40.701
[SPEAKER_04]: This is your fault.
33:41.041 --> 33:41.802
[SPEAKER_04]: You screwed up.
33:42.022 --> 33:43.923
[SPEAKER_04]: And now we, once again, have to clean up your mess.
33:44.223 --> 33:44.904
[SPEAKER_04]: No more of this.
33:45.264 --> 33:46.585
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's all move forward together.
33:46.825 --> 33:47.626
[SPEAKER_04]: Just all hold hands.
33:47.726 --> 33:50.828
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, no, those days are over now, as far as I'm concerned.
33:50.868 --> 33:52.609
[SPEAKER_04]: They've been over for me for like three years.
33:53.109 --> 33:55.090
[SPEAKER_04]: But it appears people are sort of catching up.
33:56.011 --> 33:57.012
[SPEAKER_04]: Here in the Midwest,
33:57.592 --> 34:01.854
[SPEAKER_04]: There's still an impulse to say, this isn't about Democrats and Republicans.
34:02.474 --> 34:03.755
[SPEAKER_04]: This isn't about left and right.
34:04.155 --> 34:11.618
[SPEAKER_04]: What it metaphesely is, so I'm sort of a stinker around here, who says, no, no, it's about Republicans.
34:11.678 --> 34:13.359
[SPEAKER_04]: It's entirely about Republicans.
34:14.060 --> 34:21.083
[SPEAKER_04]: And because people don't want people to have to live next door to people who have Trump flags and are currently like,
34:21.803 --> 34:44.579
[SPEAKER_04]: pretending they didn't vote for them or pretending that there's nothing to do with them or pretending that it was just some weird circumstance and they're they're they're using all this kind of passive deflective language that we last heard in 2006 about George Bush yeah and right this is what I voted for I didn't support him yeah yeah and they got away with it in 2006
34:45.780 --> 34:49.801
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and then Obama said, well, we're going to look forward, not back, bullshit.
34:49.881 --> 34:54.743
[SPEAKER_01]: I call bullshit then and now I'm telling you ahead of time, there is none of that.
34:55.043 --> 35:02.805
[SPEAKER_01]: We look back and we fix everything he broke and we apologize to the world for being the assholes of the planet.
35:03.746 --> 35:14.260
[SPEAKER_04]: If you got a chance, my Senator Tammy Duckworth was being interviewed about what's what's we do going forward and she and she said and she used a lot of language she learned in the military.
35:14.441 --> 35:14.841
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh good.
35:14.941 --> 35:16.764
[SPEAKER_04]: A lot of naughty language she learned in the military.
35:16.784 --> 35:19.047
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I like Tammy Duckworth when she breaks loose.
35:19.067 --> 35:19.268
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
35:19.688 --> 35:23.691
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh yeah, she was totally loose and she says, I'm sick of fixing her public and shit.
35:24.091 --> 35:26.153
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm so they break shit in the Dubai demonstration.
35:26.173 --> 35:28.454
[SPEAKER_04]: We spent all the whole time every time out there fires.
35:28.534 --> 35:29.555
[SPEAKER_04]: We couldn't get anything done.
35:29.575 --> 35:30.416
[SPEAKER_04]: We couldn't put out their fires.
35:30.776 --> 35:33.038
[SPEAKER_04]: We're done with that.
35:33.118 --> 35:34.899
[SPEAKER_04]: And she concluded with fuck that shit.
35:35.239 --> 35:37.881
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I got to get that tape.
35:38.481 --> 35:39.241
[SPEAKER_01]: I need that tape.
35:39.302 --> 35:40.702
[SPEAKER_01]: It can go along with bullshit.
35:41.083 --> 35:42.263
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and come on.
35:42.503 --> 35:42.944
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, man.
35:43.304 --> 35:44.565
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I need that.
35:44.605 --> 35:45.205
[SPEAKER_01]: I will find it.
35:45.245 --> 35:45.986
[SPEAKER_01]: Tammy Duckworth.
35:46.006 --> 35:49.187
[SPEAKER_01]: Fuck that shit because, you know, that's my kind of talk.
35:49.508 --> 35:53.990
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and she'll be joining a little set by Julianne Stratton who will win a walk in the fall.
35:54.010 --> 35:57.112
[SPEAKER_04]: See, Illinois is like not just not a lot of pressure.
35:57.152 --> 35:57.993
[SPEAKER_04]: We know who's going to win.
35:58.693 --> 36:00.714
[SPEAKER_04]: We're pretty sure it's going to be Jamie Pritzker.
36:00.994 --> 36:05.815
[SPEAKER_04]: We're pretty sure the Democrat Party is in Democratic Party's going to control the state house completely.
36:05.835 --> 36:09.156
[SPEAKER_04]: We're pretty sure you're going to send a bunch of Democrats to Congress except for a few.
36:09.736 --> 36:14.378
[SPEAKER_04]: So all the drama is happening around us, you know, outside of us.
36:14.418 --> 36:19.039
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're the blue spot in the red Middle East, middle Midwest, sorry.
36:19.359 --> 36:23.700
[SPEAKER_04]: That's why, if you want to know, but mad at people are thinking, come ask me.
36:23.800 --> 36:24.460
[SPEAKER_04]: I will tell you.
36:24.741 --> 36:26.021
[SPEAKER_04]: Because you see them all the time.
36:26.421 --> 36:31.505
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'll toggle I'm down to Harbor Freight and ask him for you, and I'll tell you exactly what we have Harbor Freight here too.
36:32.225 --> 36:32.565
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I know.
36:32.786 --> 36:33.826
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm in Phoenix.
36:33.846 --> 36:43.433
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it is purple here, so you don't know, but you do see the houses with the flags that like, I mean, we're house hunting, you know, we're looking for a new house.
36:43.453 --> 36:46.075
[SPEAKER_01]: So, we see them everywhere, it's like, do you see the what's on the corner?
36:46.355 --> 36:47.716
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
36:48.076 --> 36:54.341
[SPEAKER_01]: But, and some of the people are rapid, but, bunny, we have a democratic governor.
36:55.245 --> 37:14.957
[SPEAKER_01]: two democratic senators, although, but and and hopefully this red district that we currently live in, I'm hoping is going to flip because Elizabeth Lee is pretty great and her opponent, the guy who's here now, Andy Biggs is running for governor against Katie Hobbes.
37:15.637 --> 37:17.038
[SPEAKER_01]: Andy Biggs, we all know it's horrible.
37:17.318 --> 37:20.120
[SPEAKER_01]: He's gonna lose and lose hard.
37:21.220 --> 37:40.570
[SPEAKER_01]: because there are too many smart people here who go, we don't want that shit, we were driving in an area, obviously looking for a house and turning point, you'll love this, Drift Glass, put up all these signs, they're everywhere, giant signs on like every corner, Democrats for bigs.
37:41.416 --> 37:42.617
[SPEAKER_01]: There is no such thing.
37:43.058 --> 37:45.961
[SPEAKER_01]: If you Google it, it says this does not exist.
37:46.462 --> 37:48.805
[SPEAKER_01]: It is, it is all bullshit.
37:49.185 --> 37:58.296
[SPEAKER_01]: It's fake news and on just tiny, tiny print that you cannot read from your car or unless you write up on it, paid for it by turning point USA.
37:58.897 --> 37:59.077
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
37:59.298 --> 37:59.958
[SPEAKER_01]: And so everywhere.
38:00.138 --> 38:08.747
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're driving through a neighborhood and somebody went with a can of roots spray paint and wrote BS on like every every sign on both sides.
38:08.887 --> 38:10.269
[SPEAKER_01]: It was awesome.
38:10.709 --> 38:12.031
[SPEAKER_01]: So I want to see more of that.
38:12.965 --> 38:17.468
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's a final tradition of, you know, I mean, it goes back a century.
38:17.488 --> 38:22.511
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, in Chicago, ripping down your opponent's signs, couldn't up your own.
38:22.531 --> 38:25.813
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't think taking it, but I think taking them down is not legal.
38:26.113 --> 38:29.155
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think, yes, what would be questionable.
38:29.215 --> 38:30.076
[SPEAKER_01]: They did do it anyway.
38:30.336 --> 38:32.457
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think you would have a good argument here.
38:32.838 --> 38:34.419
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a real campaign sign.
38:34.459 --> 38:35.179
[SPEAKER_01]: It's bullshit.
38:35.379 --> 38:38.341
[SPEAKER_01]: This Democrats for, for, for, uh, uh,
38:40.063 --> 38:41.704
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just fact checking here, that's all I'm doing.
38:41.724 --> 38:42.245
[SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
38:42.445 --> 38:43.285
[SPEAKER_01]: So people know.
38:44.466 --> 38:57.215
[SPEAKER_01]: But the guy who's running for, so to take his place in this district, it's Arizona's fifth, is Mark Lam, who is the former mayor of Penal County, which is right next to Maricopa.
38:57.655 --> 39:01.518
[SPEAKER_01]: It's West, I'm sorry, it's East and itself of us.
39:02.258 --> 39:03.959
[SPEAKER_01]: I get confused still with the East West stuff.
39:04.420 --> 39:08.803
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I'm in East Coast, or usually, and when I'm on the West Coast, I have to think which direction is the ocean.
39:09.343 --> 39:17.350
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but he, he, if you Google him, Mark, Mark Lam, Sheriff, there's all kinds of allegations against him.
39:18.051 --> 39:19.232
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a sexual predator.
39:20.353 --> 39:24.096
[SPEAKER_01]: He's, you know, he does group sex and group sex chats.
39:24.156 --> 39:26.439
[SPEAKER_01]: And I guess his wife is in on it too.
39:26.639 --> 39:30.142
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and they just last year, I think, bought a ranch in Tennessee.
39:30.722 --> 39:31.143
[SPEAKER_01]: We're there.
39:31.363 --> 39:32.324
[SPEAKER_01]: They appear to live.
39:33.532 --> 39:39.717
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm hoping the people of Arizona's fifth will see through them when you have Elizabeth Lee who's a nurse.
39:40.338 --> 39:43.420
[SPEAKER_01]: She's spent her whole career helping people.
39:43.700 --> 39:45.862
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what she's in it for is to help people.
39:46.222 --> 39:46.863
[SPEAKER_01]: And she's great.
39:47.363 --> 39:48.124
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know.
39:48.824 --> 39:53.466
[SPEAKER_04]: The number of nurses and professional people who are running for office.
39:53.486 --> 39:57.828
[SPEAKER_04]: We have Jennifer Todd, he running against Mary Nazi Miller in our adjacent district.
39:58.408 --> 40:04.051
[SPEAKER_04]: And because they crowded all the Republicans into like to redistricts here, they're real red, they're like our plus thousand.
40:04.591 --> 40:06.892
[SPEAKER_04]: But her opponent is Jennifer Todd.
40:07.352 --> 40:08.653
[SPEAKER_04]: Jennifer Todd is a nurse.
40:09.353 --> 40:10.674
[SPEAKER_04]: And I've been to Fundraises for her.
40:10.734 --> 40:13.777
[SPEAKER_04]: I saw her speak and we got to sit with her around table with her.
40:14.157 --> 40:15.238
[SPEAKER_04]: And she's practical.
40:15.278 --> 40:16.119
[SPEAKER_04]: She's framing West.
40:16.359 --> 40:26.989
[SPEAKER_04]: But her focus is on health care, delivery for people, and the fact that the system is broken, and a whole bunch of private equity companies own all the medical, everything, they own the main role.
40:27.069 --> 40:28.230
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's why your prizes are so high.
40:28.570 --> 40:49.794
[SPEAKER_04]: But she really understands the issue way down deep and there's something very attractive about that Which is here's somebody who's who's clearly competent who saves people's lives on a regular basis No system very well has a practical approach to solving the problems that we all know exist in the healthcare system That alone should be enough for her to get elected.
40:49.854 --> 40:56.435
[SPEAKER_04]: She probably won't unfortunately because but that that blue wave is a funny thing It does some funny things when it comes along and
40:56.995 --> 40:58.536
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm hoping it'll sweep a few people.
40:59.036 --> 40:59.336
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
40:59.356 --> 40:59.936
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't expect.
41:00.137 --> 41:02.778
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, uh, Kansas, like Adam Hamilton and Kansas.
41:02.878 --> 41:03.178
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
41:03.498 --> 41:04.719
[SPEAKER_04]: We need a Kansas.
41:04.959 --> 41:06.840
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, you know, he's a Methodist pastor, right?
41:07.000 --> 41:07.200
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
41:07.220 --> 41:08.681
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw an interview with him the other day.
41:08.721 --> 41:09.421
[SPEAKER_01]: He was great.
41:09.997 --> 41:37.931
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I don't know if I mentioned this to a bunch of us gathered in our church basement to watch a video of him and the subject was Christian nationalism, why it's a bad thing and he was unsparing in his very, very pastoral approach to what's wrong with this whole concept and how dangerous it is and how destructive it is and but this is this is like the clan, this is like the Nazis, this is the sort of people that they are.
41:38.512 --> 41:44.499
[SPEAKER_04]: What about the sort of thing you hear coming from in Midwestern pasture of a mega church very often?
41:44.739 --> 41:56.074
[SPEAKER_04]: You hear it all the time on the other side where you have people screaming from the pulpit that were a bunch of baby killing monsters and devils and so forth, but you don't really hear like your average Methodist pastor.
41:56.674 --> 42:02.581
[SPEAKER_04]: taken down the Republican Party as the source of destruction, destructive energy in this country.
42:03.142 --> 42:08.909
[SPEAKER_04]: And doing it like on a fact-based level, here's statistics, this is what happens, this is the number percentage of people.
42:09.510 --> 42:11.312
[SPEAKER_04]: Here's what they say, here's who they are.
42:11.852 --> 42:16.138
[SPEAKER_04]: And I thought it was like incredibly refreshing to see that from that kind of person.
42:16.657 --> 42:34.857
[SPEAKER_01]: right well it it is refreshing but the and more and more uh... you know people from the world of religion i in a way want country where religious leaders are the leaders and they but right which is what trump wants now he wants this to be a christian nation
42:35.377 --> 42:53.628
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's nothing wrong with someone who's a religious leader taking their principles and bringing it to the thing is, and why I call it one another example of opposite world, is, you know, the evangelicals all jumping on the dump bandwagon, and it broke something in me.
42:53.648 --> 43:04.595
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, I thought these, I'm not religious, but I thought religious people are supposed to be moral and have, you know, they always talked about, you know, family, oh, that mark
43:05.358 --> 43:06.108
[SPEAKER_01]: his thing is like
43:07.241 --> 43:10.763
[SPEAKER_01]: family God and probably guns.
43:10.904 --> 43:15.206
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's his slogan, but it's, you know, we're family first, but bullshit.
43:15.627 --> 43:23.992
[SPEAKER_01]: If you support Donald Trump, you're supporting a rapist, you're supporting somebody who we all saw on video tapes, a grab them by the pussy.
43:24.552 --> 43:26.754
[SPEAKER_01]: And when your famous, they let you do it.
43:27.174 --> 43:28.255
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, ew.
43:28.935 --> 43:30.636
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well, ew.
43:30.796 --> 43:32.597
[SPEAKER_04]: The modern conservative, the evangelical
43:36.960 --> 43:55.315
[SPEAKER_04]: trying to set up segregation academies to flee you know to flee integrated schools that didn't play very well so they switched to abortion because that you could fundraise a lot better on abortion yes you can that led to that led to the Pat Robertson's the jury fallwells who were welcomed into the Republican party in the very highest levels by Ronald Reagan
43:56.015 --> 43:58.017
[SPEAKER_04]: Reagan invited them into the party.
43:58.217 --> 44:04.442
[SPEAKER_04]: And the right wing evangelicals have been a force for absolute evil in this country for 50, 60 years.
44:04.502 --> 44:06.283
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe maybe longer.
44:06.403 --> 44:10.667
[SPEAKER_04]: My own personal knowledge of it based on my reading only goes back that far.
44:10.687 --> 44:11.528
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm sure it goes back.
44:11.548 --> 44:12.248
[SPEAKER_04]: I have a lot further.
44:12.528 --> 44:13.990
[SPEAKER_04]: The entire slave states.
44:14.690 --> 44:17.051
[SPEAKER_04]: of the south were based on the Bible, right?
44:17.071 --> 44:22.452
[SPEAKER_04]: Based on the biblical, the alleged Bible says that race should be separate and black people are inferior.
44:22.752 --> 44:32.274
[SPEAKER_04]: God says so, that the loving verses for Junior that would have made my first marriage illegal was all based on God and His wisdom as separated the races.
44:32.834 --> 44:34.874
[SPEAKER_04]: So that this strange been around forever.
44:35.214 --> 44:37.435
[SPEAKER_04]: But in the Republican Party, what cracked me up was,
44:38.375 --> 44:42.357
[SPEAKER_04]: The liberal bloggers are writing about the dominionists and evangelicals now, dangerous.
44:42.377 --> 44:45.419
[SPEAKER_04]: They are 20 years ago, 20 years ago, 20 years ago, really.
44:45.679 --> 44:46.880
[SPEAKER_01]: And now they're embracing them.
44:47.520 --> 44:50.121
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, they were, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they were terrifying.
44:50.141 --> 44:57.005
[SPEAKER_04]: But, but they were all part of the conservative coalition, and they believe that abortion is some murders and we're all communist and so forth.
44:57.025 --> 45:00.147
[SPEAKER_04]: They were just very clear about it when they broke for Trump.
45:01.269 --> 45:06.070
[SPEAKER_04]: the people like Michael Curson and David French going, oh my god, these are my friends.
45:06.530 --> 45:07.431
[SPEAKER_04]: What have happened to them?
45:07.491 --> 45:09.391
[SPEAKER_04]: Dude, they've always been this way.
45:09.571 --> 45:10.672
[SPEAKER_04]: They've always been biggest.
45:10.692 --> 45:11.732
[SPEAKER_04]: They've always been morons.
45:11.752 --> 45:15.193
[SPEAKER_04]: They've always used the Bible as a bludgeon to beat their enemies.
45:15.613 --> 45:17.293
[SPEAKER_04]: How the fuck did you notice that?
45:17.593 --> 45:18.854
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that's right, you were part of them.
45:19.574 --> 45:26.838
[SPEAKER_04]: You were, they weren't aiming their weapons that you, they were aiming them at me, and as long as they were aiming at me and my friends, you were okay with that.
45:27.198 --> 45:29.079
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of them are bashing days, you were okay with that.
45:29.539 --> 45:37.383
[SPEAKER_04]: The minute they turned their guns on you, you were shocked to discover that all your evangelical friends are horrible people who believe horrible things.
45:37.843 --> 45:43.209
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you should've listened to Liberals 25 years ago, but you were busy demonizing those 25 years ago, and you couldn't be near us.
45:43.289 --> 45:48.936
[SPEAKER_04]: And all the writings about, they're agonizing writings about what happened to my beautiful ephagetic movement.
45:48.996 --> 45:51.579
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, Michael Derson passed away, so that happened.
45:51.979 --> 45:53.821
[SPEAKER_04]: But Dave and Fred, she's given a call in the nearer times.
45:54.622 --> 45:54.882
[SPEAKER_01]: Right?
45:54.962 --> 45:55.843
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I'm like...
45:57.129 --> 46:03.472
[SPEAKER_04]: Jesus, how I given a column of the year times to five liberals who've been right about the right for the last 30 years.
46:03.512 --> 46:04.012
[SPEAKER_04]: How about that?
46:04.352 --> 46:06.593
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's a good idea.
46:06.893 --> 46:11.815
[SPEAKER_01]: No, something terrible happened to the corporate media.
46:11.835 --> 46:17.197
[SPEAKER_01]: Money, the billionaires bought them and go figure the families no longer run them.
46:17.237 --> 46:18.418
[SPEAKER_01]: The grand family is gone.
46:18.438 --> 46:19.398
[SPEAKER_01]: So the grams, right?
46:19.418 --> 46:21.179
[SPEAKER_01]: Who owned the Washington Post?
46:21.259 --> 46:24.200
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and now it's Jeff Bezos, who started out?
46:24.932 --> 46:27.956
[SPEAKER_01]: with democracy, dyes, and darkness.
46:28.436 --> 46:31.159
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he was going to be okay.
46:31.580 --> 46:40.350
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he kind of did it gradually, and then he went, and was in the front row for El Dumpos inauguration.
46:40.370 --> 46:42.753
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, when you fight, you fight Trump because you're going to lose.
46:44.052 --> 46:46.193
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, he just he just bet this again.
46:46.213 --> 46:47.353
[SPEAKER_04]: This is just casino life.
46:47.653 --> 46:53.234
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I think Trump's going to lose and I think this movement is going to tie as I'm going to bet on the democracy side.
46:53.294 --> 46:53.794
[SPEAKER_04]: He won.
46:53.834 --> 46:54.874
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I'm about on him now.
46:55.334 --> 46:55.494
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
46:55.514 --> 46:56.735
[SPEAKER_04]: It's completely immoral.
46:56.815 --> 47:00.995
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just like whoever's winning is the one I'm backing because they can screw up my business.
47:01.095 --> 47:01.295
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
47:01.315 --> 47:03.456
[SPEAKER_04]: They can regulate my little space program.
47:03.476 --> 47:05.096
[SPEAKER_04]: They can really take away a lot of things from me.
47:05.556 --> 47:09.057
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm going to back even though he's obviously a fascist.
47:09.957 --> 47:13.321
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm a guy and he'll be my guy into the winch shifts and I go someplace else.
47:13.661 --> 47:17.806
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, there is some good news at the very local level.
47:17.926 --> 47:21.430
[SPEAKER_04]: You have this, we have a giveaway paper here in Springfield.
47:21.491 --> 47:22.372
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the Illinois Times.
47:22.632 --> 47:22.952
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
47:23.052 --> 47:24.534
[SPEAKER_04]: Once a week it's the liberal paper.
47:24.614 --> 47:24.854
[SPEAKER_04]: Nice.
47:25.555 --> 47:35.521
[SPEAKER_04]: and it's the guy who ran it has been running it since 1977, he bought it in 1977, he just restructured it and gave it to a non-profit, which is all about supporting local journalism.
47:35.541 --> 47:36.242
[SPEAKER_04]: Nice.
47:36.282 --> 47:37.683
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, rather than other 50 years.
47:37.763 --> 47:39.324
[SPEAKER_04]: I can get some, that's wonderful.
47:39.904 --> 47:46.909
[SPEAKER_04]: If you want to read about like Donald Trump stole the election or lies about the election, they will write that story.
47:46.929 --> 47:50.131
[SPEAKER_04]: They will not write it in the daily paper, because that's an opinion.
47:50.771 --> 47:56.676
[SPEAKER_04]: We can't have liberal opinions in our local paper, but they do the really good that they do the the Innocence projects.
47:56.716 --> 47:57.756
[SPEAKER_04]: They do hallowest issues.
47:58.017 --> 47:59.498
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a very liberal publication.
47:59.618 --> 47:59.798
[SPEAKER_04]: Awesome.
47:59.838 --> 48:05.802
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's arranged it so that it will survive another 50 years or 20 years, which is awesome, which is great.
48:05.822 --> 48:06.303
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah.
48:06.543 --> 48:16.811
[SPEAKER_01]: No, we need more of that, and because the trend is with newspapers, they're all being bought up by hedge funds, who don't care about the journalism, they just want to make money.
48:16.831 --> 48:17.591
[SPEAKER_01]: So what did they do?
48:18.032 --> 48:28.039
[SPEAKER_01]: Cut, cut, cut, cut, you know, combine news rooms with other papers and, you know, use each other stuff.
48:28.319 --> 48:29.180
[SPEAKER_01]: It's horrible.
48:29.200 --> 48:30.361
[SPEAKER_01]: They've turned.
48:30.621 --> 48:33.163
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember we used to subscribe to first
48:33.663 --> 48:38.128
[SPEAKER_01]: The Fort Lauder, the Hollywood, no, I'm thinking way back.
48:39.849 --> 48:46.655
[SPEAKER_01]: The Broward County paper, I can't remember the name of it, no, sunset, no, woo, the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
48:47.216 --> 48:48.237
[SPEAKER_01]: And he would then wish it.
48:48.497 --> 48:51.099
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we subscribe to the Miami Herald.
48:51.822 --> 48:53.544
[SPEAKER_01]: And then one day David said, look at it.
48:53.824 --> 48:54.605
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a pamphlet.
48:55.045 --> 48:55.766
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a pamphlet.
48:56.066 --> 48:57.848
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not a new spring, more it's a pamphlet.
48:57.868 --> 48:58.909
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, we then we scrap that, you know?
48:58.929 --> 49:06.897
[SPEAKER_01]: Because it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's
49:07.706 --> 49:13.549
[SPEAKER_04]: The State Journal Register was the state, capital newspapers, where you'd send students to do internships, right?
49:13.949 --> 49:18.632
[SPEAKER_04]: And that was gutted and sold and the former editor.
49:19.252 --> 49:23.554
[SPEAKER_04]: Quit her job and ask that her salary would be used to spare some people who were being laid off.
49:23.574 --> 49:25.716
[SPEAKER_04]: So I thought it was a very noble thing to do.
49:26.316 --> 49:35.781
[SPEAKER_04]: Last very long, they go to the paper, they sold it to Gatehouse, who has, and now there's like a little office in a strip mall somewhere that's technically their office, they print out a peoria, I think.
49:36.681 --> 49:41.042
[SPEAKER_04]: And we're getting stories from Rock Island, which is, you know, 300 miles away and we do with us.
49:41.542 --> 49:43.783
[SPEAKER_04]: And a bit to your amazing local sports, and that's pretty much it.
49:44.143 --> 49:47.424
[SPEAKER_04]: It was a Republican rag before that, but it is absolutely good.
49:47.464 --> 49:51.065
[SPEAKER_04]: It is a shell of what it was because they sold it to a goddamn hedge fund.
49:51.505 --> 49:52.345
[SPEAKER_04]: It's shredded in the place.
49:52.445 --> 49:53.385
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an ad.
49:53.885 --> 49:54.765
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
49:54.805 --> 49:55.286
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an ad.
49:55.326 --> 49:55.926
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an ad.
49:55.946 --> 49:58.286
[SPEAKER_04]: So any good news about journalism.
49:58.426 --> 49:59.587
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm down for any time.
50:00.027 --> 50:00.647
[SPEAKER_04]: And frankly,
50:01.725 --> 50:08.628
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, people like you and Brad and Bob Syska and those folks are the journalists.
50:08.788 --> 50:11.248
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, your job is to keep that light burning.
50:11.429 --> 50:18.091
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, there are other, like Marcy Wheeler is a real journalist, Marissa, I forget her last name, a hand basket.
50:18.271 --> 50:21.072
[SPEAKER_01]: She's a journalist, Alison Gil is a journalist.
50:21.112 --> 50:21.972
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a talk show host.
50:22.333 --> 50:23.433
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't break news.
50:23.773 --> 50:28.317
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do present the news and discuss the news.
50:28.857 --> 50:32.080
[SPEAKER_01]: Fact-based discussions about what the fuck is going on.
50:32.420 --> 50:37.565
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's as important these days, especially because most people don't understand what's happening.
50:37.845 --> 50:39.987
[SPEAKER_01]: And I try to help us all understand it.
50:40.267 --> 50:45.849
[SPEAKER_04]: And we talked about ourselves as we don't break news, we contextualize it.
50:45.909 --> 50:46.129
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
50:46.629 --> 50:48.569
[SPEAKER_04]: We tell you, this is what's happening now.
50:48.589 --> 50:51.390
[SPEAKER_04]: This is what's happening in the context of what's happening for the last 20 years.
50:51.410 --> 50:52.891
[SPEAKER_04]: Here, the players involved.
50:53.151 --> 50:55.031
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you remember when this happened before?
50:55.411 --> 50:56.692
[SPEAKER_04]: And the same people got away with it.
50:56.732 --> 50:57.672
[SPEAKER_04]: That's why it's happening now.
50:58.192 --> 51:04.233
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of you are not typically going to get in a, you know, a one page or a one column story about something Trump did.
51:04.253 --> 51:09.654
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just these are the media reports them as sequential non related events.
51:09.894 --> 51:10.115
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
51:10.655 --> 51:11.055
[SPEAKER_04]: This happened.
51:11.075 --> 51:11.415
[SPEAKER_04]: This happened.
51:11.435 --> 51:11.835
[SPEAKER_04]: This happened.
51:12.515 --> 51:14.395
[SPEAKER_04]: We talk about this as the whole picture.
51:14.875 --> 51:22.077
[SPEAKER_04]: This is these are symptoms of a larger problem and a media will not talk about the larger problem because it'd be partisan and they'd be in trouble for them.
51:22.457 --> 51:29.599
[SPEAKER_01]: know that's so interesting because what you just described what came into my mind is what I wish I could get in terms of medical care.
51:30.020 --> 51:37.122
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what we do is we go I go to the hand doctor because I've been getting horrible pain in my hand.
51:37.682 --> 51:47.870
[SPEAKER_01]: I go to the gastroenterologist or whatever they call themselves, the GI doctor because my stomach has been a mess and it's been affecting other things.
51:48.311 --> 51:53.875
[SPEAKER_01]: I go to the orthopedic guy and the nerve guy form my neck.
51:53.995 --> 51:56.617
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I know what turned up in one of my
51:58.367 --> 52:11.648
[SPEAKER_01]: MRIs or ultrasounds is on my one of my kidneys there's the for years they've been everyone's telling you have a history of kidney disease is like no I don't but there's what some doctors say it's just a cyst.
52:12.307 --> 52:13.408
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's giant.
52:13.948 --> 52:15.389
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a giant cyst.
52:16.030 --> 52:19.252
[SPEAKER_01]: This half the size of one of the kidneys, sitting on one of the kidneys.
52:19.692 --> 52:22.814
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, if it's tiny, all right, I don't know.
52:23.034 --> 52:26.016
[SPEAKER_01]: But I start, finally, and this thing is giant.
52:26.056 --> 52:29.219
[SPEAKER_01]: No wonder doctors tell me that there's something up with my kidneys.
52:29.239 --> 52:33.281
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going in for another specialized ultrasound of my kidney.
52:33.642 --> 52:37.004
[SPEAKER_01]: But the doctors, and they all,
52:37.626 --> 52:51.097
[SPEAKER_01]: talk to the primary care doctor, but frankly isn't a specialist in any of it, but my doctor happens to be pretty good and she, you know, she actually called the oncologist about something she saw.
52:51.757 --> 52:58.563
[SPEAKER_01]: It might have been the cyst, you know, and ask if there is something to worry about there, but you know, but I've got all these different doctors.
52:59.243 --> 53:00.844
[SPEAKER_01]: I wish we would
53:04.207 --> 53:15.200
[SPEAKER_01]: how holistic doctors work because they look at the whole body they'll run all of these tests but you know what insurance will not pay one of those doctors.
53:15.541 --> 53:23.270
[SPEAKER_01]: So the only way you can see a doctor who looks at the whole picture and says why do you have all these things going on and I bet they're related because I think they are.
53:25.457 --> 53:27.719
[SPEAKER_01]: The insurance says, no, that's not a real doctor.
53:27.739 --> 53:30.701
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, both shit and will not pay them.
53:30.761 --> 53:41.491
[SPEAKER_01]: So I can't do that because I can't afford it because one, you know, the, well, the first appointment is $600 and we spend an hour together and then follow up.
53:46.435 --> 53:46.635
[SPEAKER_04]: No.
53:46.955 --> 53:47.035
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
53:47.075 --> 53:47.276
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
53:47.816 --> 53:48.476
[SPEAKER_01]: Can't do it.
53:48.496 --> 53:48.836
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
53:49.457 --> 53:52.058
[SPEAKER_04]: If you're lucky to get a primary care physician.
53:52.258 --> 53:52.438
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
53:52.638 --> 53:57.641
[SPEAKER_04]: Who is up on the literature who's done the reading, who's understood, and he's known you for a while.
53:57.761 --> 53:57.941
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
53:58.361 --> 54:01.063
[SPEAKER_04]: And can say, well, this, these things all seem related to one another.
54:01.083 --> 54:01.203
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
54:01.983 --> 54:04.864
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm gonna I'm gonna send you two people who can analyze them.
54:05.544 --> 54:15.447
[SPEAKER_04]: You're very lucky to have a but yeah, there's no there's no one who is taking the big picture right unless you are let at least it's unless it's house M.D.
54:16.667 --> 54:19.028
[SPEAKER_06]: And you come on here.
54:19.068 --> 54:20.628
[SPEAKER_04]: Take your pants off that was in your toes.
54:20.688 --> 54:21.409
[SPEAKER_04]: No whatever.
54:22.629 --> 54:23.309
[SPEAKER_04]: It's never loop us.
54:23.349 --> 54:24.630
[SPEAKER_04]: We know it's never never looped.
54:26.230 --> 54:31.312
[SPEAKER_04]: Unless you're on television and you're playing a super doctor, there is no such person in your life.
54:31.332 --> 54:38.274
[SPEAKER_04]: You can say based on all of your consolation of symptoms, it appears to me that this unusual thing is caused by this other thing.
54:38.294 --> 54:41.195
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, and maybe it has something to do with this.
54:41.475 --> 54:48.118
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, when I went and saw the kidney doctor, and after talking to him for a while, he said, you're a perfect candidate to see my wife.
54:48.838 --> 54:54.440
[SPEAKER_01]: His wife spent years as an internist, and she wanted to do more of this.
54:55.592 --> 55:03.280
[SPEAKER_01]: She had to quit, she quit her job, and I called her office, and she's up in Scottsdale, extremely expensive.
55:03.360 --> 55:05.823
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, she sounds great, like just what I need.
55:06.243 --> 55:14.573
[SPEAKER_01]: But the kind of money she's talking about, okay, I guess if I lived on the corner, or in my car, except I wouldn't be able to afford the car either.
55:14.893 --> 55:16.595
[SPEAKER_01]: So I can't get to see her.
55:17.477 --> 55:19.381
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, I know stupid.
55:19.842 --> 55:20.984
[SPEAKER_04]: The solutions are there.
55:21.104 --> 55:27.957
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just they're priced out of the market and they're not available and that's what across the board.
55:29.473 --> 55:35.340
[SPEAKER_04]: There are so many problems where there are solutions, but they're all, they're look only the only leap get them.
55:36.321 --> 55:37.001
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
55:37.422 --> 55:37.942
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
55:38.042 --> 55:44.189
[SPEAKER_04]: You get the spoke service for everything in your life if you're above a certain wealth threshold.
55:44.209 --> 55:44.409
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
55:44.429 --> 55:45.551
[SPEAKER_01]: You're below it.
55:46.051 --> 55:47.212
[SPEAKER_04]: You're stuck on the bus.
55:47.773 --> 55:51.834
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, with the rest of us, and it need not be that way.
55:51.854 --> 56:00.416
[SPEAKER_04]: There's no cure all, I mean, you can't magically invent 50,000 doctors who are thoroughly experienced and spread them out across the country, but we can make it better.
56:01.256 --> 56:06.877
[SPEAKER_04]: We can make this situation better, and that's what we're not doing is we're not figuring out, well, you know what this situation sucks?
56:07.377 --> 56:11.758
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's improve it 20%, let's do something that makes things better for people.
56:12.098 --> 56:16.559
[SPEAKER_04]: As opposed to, well, let's just burn the system down, let the rich have what they want, blame
56:17.679 --> 56:22.641
[SPEAKER_01]: and see how many people we can kick off of the Affordable Care Act, because they're doing it again.
56:23.282 --> 56:30.665
[SPEAKER_01]: They're trying to see how many more people they can push off and not have to help subsidize their healthcare.
56:31.305 --> 56:38.289
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, any other country, we are the only civilized industrialized nation that doesn't
56:45.490 --> 56:49.312
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm doing show prep after I get done talking to you for my show tomorrow.
56:49.392 --> 56:51.313
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, that's just a friend.
56:51.453 --> 56:56.655
[SPEAKER_04]: So me evening and we'll do it real quick, but tomorrow it's going to be like two pages of notes.
56:56.735 --> 56:59.317
[SPEAKER_04]: And one page is Fran talks about Medicare for all.
56:59.457 --> 57:00.157
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
57:00.177 --> 57:01.758
[SPEAKER_04]: Because she knows this subject very well.
57:01.778 --> 57:02.678
[SPEAKER_04]: She knows the inside and out.
57:02.758 --> 57:05.319
[SPEAKER_04]: And there's lots and lots of details about it there.
57:05.659 --> 57:06.240
[SPEAKER_04]: Very important.
57:06.680 --> 57:09.401
[SPEAKER_04]: And sometimes you just say, you're really good at this.
57:09.481 --> 57:10.862
[SPEAKER_04]: You had to learn all this because
57:11.362 --> 57:34.063
[SPEAKER_04]: you were taking care of a family and you were on the exchange and you had to know all this stuff you had to be a common navigator yourself and let's use that expertise to help some people understand the system as it exists now and what's and it's great right now it's great right now and and they're they're going to cut it it will not continue the benefits I have and I pay for it you know you get the you get the the Medicare part A
57:34.824 --> 57:38.326
[SPEAKER_01]: that you're given basically because you've lived to 65.
57:38.346 --> 57:42.388
[SPEAKER_01]: You survived and you've paid into it all these years with those phycataxes.
57:42.768 --> 57:45.149
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, but there's others.
57:45.449 --> 57:45.969
[SPEAKER_01]: Good for you.
57:45.989 --> 57:46.810
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yeah.
57:47.130 --> 57:54.614
[SPEAKER_01]: Then, you know, so that's, and so there's parts A and B, which comes automatically out of your social security.
57:54.654 --> 57:55.814
[SPEAKER_01]: So you do pay some for that.
57:56.094 --> 57:58.335
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like 167 a year or something like that.
57:58.556 --> 58:01.237
[SPEAKER_01]: But you don't see it because they take it out of your social security.
58:01.819 --> 58:07.903
[SPEAKER_01]: But you have a 20% stake because when they rode it, they're like, people have to have some skin in the game.
58:07.943 --> 58:09.184
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the only reason for that.
58:09.705 --> 58:17.750
[SPEAKER_01]: And but you can cover that 20% with a plan G policy, which goes up a little bit each year as you get older.
58:18.170 --> 58:20.592
[SPEAKER_01]: But so it's about 200 bucks a month for me.
58:20.892 --> 58:24.195
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's worth it because I don't have to pay for anything.
58:24.915 --> 58:27.097
[SPEAKER_01]: And I could see the doctors, I could get in MRI.
58:27.417 --> 58:29.959
[SPEAKER_01]: I can do, I can, I don't need a referral for a doctor.
58:30.459 --> 58:35.244
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, someone's got to write the order for the MRI, but they will, so it's great.
58:35.264 --> 58:38.427
[SPEAKER_01]: When people say, oh, I'm scared of a medicare here, it's horrible.
58:39.088 --> 58:42.352
[SPEAKER_01]: The best thing ever, the best thing ever.
58:42.732 --> 58:44.134
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're doing a show on that tomorrow.
58:45.486 --> 58:53.110
[SPEAKER_04]: about half, but I'm sure his friend going to be talking about Medicare for all, and just sort of the healthcare system because she now works in the healthcare system.
58:53.650 --> 58:59.413
[SPEAKER_04]: And she does phone calls at a local clinic, eight hours a day, 90 to a hundred phone calls from people every day.
59:00.454 --> 59:03.375
[SPEAKER_04]: And so she knows that and she knows what she knows.
59:03.395 --> 59:04.356
[SPEAKER_04]: So we're going to talk about that.
59:04.496 --> 59:05.476
[SPEAKER_04]: She's going to be most of the talking.
59:05.876 --> 59:09.938
[SPEAKER_04]: I will sit and listen to her in awe, because she's an amazing woman who knows all kinds of stuff.
59:13.625 --> 59:13.905
[SPEAKER_04]: I did.
59:14.125 --> 59:15.426
[SPEAKER_04]: I married way above my way class.
59:15.466 --> 59:17.608
[SPEAKER_04]: So, you know, I did, I did good.
59:18.068 --> 59:19.049
[SPEAKER_04]: One of my smart food.
59:19.769 --> 59:21.630
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you've been doing good all these years.

[SPEAKER_01]: One of the OG bloggers of the progressive blogosphere.
59:26.613 --> 59:30.156
[SPEAKER_01]: You've been doing it for so long and blogging is, is all it like a law store?
59:30.196 --> 59:33.698
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, there's, you know, there's people who do sub-stack that they write news letters.
59:33.738 --> 59:35.019
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not blogs anymore.
59:35.319 --> 59:39.004
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, you know, what you do is a gift to us.
59:39.905 --> 59:42.028
