1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Other voices considered, it's one more thing. 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 2: I'm strong and one more thing, So we're gonna do. 3 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: A PBS segment here. That's what that sounds like. That 4 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: sounded like I was auditioning for NBR, didn't it. 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 2: Joe texted me last night because he was watching the 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 2: news and I saw it later. So the news breaks 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 2: yesterday that eight times doctors have visited the White House 8 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 2: of Parkinson specialist and the ABC Evening News teases that 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 2: and then goes to weather. We'll have that for you later. 10 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: But now it's raining hard in Texas? 11 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: Right with the rainstorm? 12 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 2: What the hell is the deal with national weather and newscasts? 13 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,639 Speaker 2: Did they really get the ratings out of that? It's 14 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 2: one of Regardless of that as a journalist, don't you, 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: as David Muir whoever, think the fact that the president 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: might have Parkinson's and have to step down as president 17 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: is a bigger story than rain in Texas? 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: I think, and I'm not making a joke. I think 19 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: it is. And I say this as an old guy, borderline. 20 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: Old people like weather, they like weather coverage. Yeah, I know, 21 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: it's crazy. So other voices considered, we just happen to 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: have some audio and thoughts and little many topics to 23 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: get to that have no relationship to each other. We 24 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: will bounce up and down between the frivolous and the serious, 25 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: and this, that and the other. Let's start with Bill Maher. 26 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: Was it a clip ten Michael that we haven't gotten to. 27 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: Let's do it. 28 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 3: Did you see the debate? And in case you missed it, 29 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 3: don't worry. So did one of the contestants. I mean, 30 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 3: Trump told lie after lie after lie. He never would 31 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 3: have gotten away with that if Joe Biden was there. 32 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 3: Oh wow, Oh Joe, Joe. You know Joe, he famously 33 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 3: loves trains, but apparently not of thought. 34 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: Wow. They just keep telling. 35 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 3: It's just all night, confused and halting and trailing off. 36 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 3: I've seen beauty patcheant contestants answer questions better. 37 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: Playing that's true. 38 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe some US Americans don't have maps. So 39 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: let's stick with politics for just a moment. Oh, coming up, 40 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: the infamous Marjorie Taylor Green tweet. If you haven't heard 41 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: about this, this is Jack. Would you like to describe 42 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: the Katie Britt clip. 43 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 2: First of all, you might not know who she is. 44 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: She is a senator from which of your Southern States, 45 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. But she was being hailed as like really 46 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: short list VP possibility for Donald Trump. She's a Republican, 47 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: she's cute, she's smart, she's a conservative. She has that 48 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: happy warrior thing going. And that's why she was picked 49 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: to give the response to the State of the Union address, 50 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: which is a death sentence and everybody should recognize that. 51 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: It is ruinedy one knows it. 52 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: It has ruined so many careers. But anyway, she was 53 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: horrible on that thing. But here is she is being 54 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 2: charming yesterday, So some liberal activist catches her in the hallway, 55 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 2: pretends she's a fan and wants a selfie, then hits 56 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 2: her with a gotcha question, or so the liberal activist thinks. 57 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 2: And I just thought this was worth playing because Katie 58 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: Britt handled it so well, And the lib activist posted 59 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 2: on their website like, got her naileder folder? Oh hah, 60 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: I mean the expression on her face was like, ah, 61 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 2: isn't that great? Okay, Well, do you see how it 62 00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: played out? Listen to it here twenty five Hi, I'm 63 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: here at the congressman. I was wondering how much money 64 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: I would take to buy you back from big oil. 65 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: From Big Oil. Yeah, oh, and. 66 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 3: You look at how dishonest that was. 67 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: You ask if you could take a sefie selfie and 68 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: I were asking questions and tell me, what is it? 69 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: What do you think that big oil? Talk to me 70 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 2: about that? I think that the climate crisis is hearing 71 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: getting worse, and you're being funded by the people who 72 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: are making that happen. Listen, we've got to be not 73 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 2: only energy independent, but energy dominant. We do a better 74 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 2: than we lead back and she was getting gotten an 75 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 2: elevator and left, but I thought she handled that really well. 76 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: Oh look at you. You're being dishonest. You pretended you 77 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: wanted selfie and you wanted to ask me a question. Okay, 78 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: so what is it do you think needs to happen 79 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 2: with the big Oil? I thought that was great. 80 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. I actually have some great stuff on that very 81 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: question that we just haven't gotten to during the radio 82 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: show because Slash Podcast because of the whole Biden deterioration story, 83 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: but we will probably later on this week. The long 84 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: and short of it is that with all of the 85 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: trillions of dollars invested in green energy, they everybody the 86 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: world is using more fossil fuel than we were a 87 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: few years ago. Because the economies are growing and there 88 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: are more people and more energy. It's not like we 89 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: had enough energy for everybody to do what they wanted 90 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: to do around the globe. So if you add to 91 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: the energy supply, it just grows economies and they use 92 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: even more energy. So the idea that we're cutting out 93 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: on fossil cutting out fossil fuels, in some way, it's 94 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: just it's fictional. But more on that another time. A 95 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: couple of straight thoughts on Katie britt As we're leading 96 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: up to playing that, I was thinking, you know, she's 97 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: still got a future. Yeah, she floundered on the response 98 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: to the State of the Union. It was pretty terrible 99 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: and weird and off putting. But come on, now, that's 100 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: behind us is bride and blah blah blah. 101 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: It was terrible, weird and off putting. But as a 102 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: couple of guys who've been terrible, weird and off putting 103 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: a number of times and are still in the business, 104 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 2: it can happen. You bounce back. But then I. 105 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: Thought, well, wait a minute, why am I looking at 106 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: her purely through the lens of like national politics or 107 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: the presidency or advice presidency, if she's an effective senator, 108 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: if she's a mayor, if she's a governor. With me, 109 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: of all people, thinking the only thing that matters is 110 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: if you got a shot at the White House, it's 111 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: just so wrong. I apologize for thinking that even behind 112 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: the scenes. Friends, I apologize one more political note before 113 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: we end with a charming real life bit of audio 114 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: Michael Overre leading up to the fifteen But so Marjorie 115 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: Taylor Green I guess. On July fourth, tweeted that the 116 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: here it is the average age of the signers of 117 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: the Declaration of Independence on July fourth, seventeen seventy six, 118 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: was forty four years old, but more than a dozen 119 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: worth thirty five or younger. She wrote, then listed eight 120 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: names and ages Thomas Jefferson thirty three, John Hancock thirty nine, 121 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: James Madison twenty five, Alexander Hamilton twenty one, James Monroe eighteen, 122 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Burr twenty, Paul Revere forty one, Hamilton twenty one, 123 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: Madison twenty five. That's amazing those shouldn't they been living 124 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: in their parents' basement complaining about how they can't find 125 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: a job. And finally, George Washington forty four. Well, the 126 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: only problem with that tweet, as the good folks on 127 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: Twitter I've refused to call it X pointed out, is 128 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: six of the eight people listed did not sign the 129 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence at all, including Madison, Hamilton Monroe, Burr Revere, 130 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: and George Washington. Other than that, it's a pretty good, 131 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: pretty good tweet, let's see. And the responses were rather funny, 132 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: as they can be on Twitter. I probably don't agree 133 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: with a lot of the people on politics, you responded, 134 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: but in the final signature was applied by Ben Franklin, 135 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: who was president of the time. How did you forget 136 00:07:53,480 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan and Ronald Reagan. Let's see, somebody 137 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: somebody used a I to uh have a Tyrannosaurus rex 138 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: in Independence Hall and said, fun fact, one of the 139 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,679 Speaker 1: signers was a literal dinosaur and I have the picture 140 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: to prove it. And and does everyone know it? 141 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: Michael are you? Are you okay? 142 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: I'm okay, all right, I'm okay, You're okay. Finally, this 143 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: at charming, yo, lad, I saw I saw responses to that, 144 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: but I didn't know what the original was. 145 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 2: So now that makes sense. The tweet I saw it, 146 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 2: said other people that signed the declaration depends on it 147 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 2: was Captain kirnk. You know well, and this one's pretty good. 148 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: Not only did MTG list six people who didn't sign 149 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: the declaration, she conveniently left out that Nicholas Cage stole it. 150 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: That made me laugh, didn't hassle off. I don't know 151 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: why I found that funny, but it did. And everyone 152 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: knows it. 153 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 2: Everyone knows it. 154 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: Does our final charming pole a clip needn't set up there, Michael, 155 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: in your opinion, that's not mine?
