Hello, my friend. And everyone listening, Happy Friday and it's time for you to share your good news with us.
- [01:30]
B
You guys, I almost did it last night except I was like, oh, no, this is embargoed. Someone who works for out is listening to the podcast. So just want to thank everyone who wrote in, everyone who voted, everyone who supported my career, everyone who appreciates what I do for the community. I am officially an out 100 honoree for 2025, joining the likes of Rosie O' Donnell and Rashonda. Oh, God. If you follow Rashonda V esper from under the Desk News, who we know and love so many other incredible people. Niecy Nash, Kristen Press, Tobin Heath, if you are a sports, the bros with their pink hair if you're a sports fan. But I'm just really proud and thank you for everyone who helped make this happen.
- [02:15]
A
Congratulations. Well deserved, my friend.
- [02:18]
B
Thank you.
- [02:19]
A
So well deserved.
- [02:20]
B
And you know who else is on the list?
- [02:21]
A
Who? Who's that?
- [02:22]
B
You remember the trans person who put the flag, the trans flag up in Yosemite. Oh, yeah, Shannon, SJ. They're on the list.
- [02:31]
A
Ah, excellent.
- [02:32]
B
SJ's amazing. I know they're on the list. So many incredible people. But please continue. I wanted to make sure I give them a shout out, though. I just love that they were nominated.
- [02:41]
A
That's incredible. And yeah, you definitely want to follow Dana over on Instagram G Comedy and share that with everybody.
- [02:48]
B
Yeah, you can see a picture of my face if you don't know what I look like.
- [02:53]
A
So that is just wonderful, wonderful news. And I needed that to buoy me for the rest of the shit that I'm going to tell you. Today.
- [03:00]
B
Oh, boy. Thank you.
- [03:02]
A
And we also have some. This is a bright spot here. John Fugelsang is going to join us later in the show because it's Fuglsang Friday. So I'm looking forward to that. Federal immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras. This is according to Judge Ellis. And she ordered this on Thursday after seeing tear gas and other aggressive steps used against protesters. U.S. district Judge Sarah Ellis said she was a little startled after seeing TV images of clashes between agents and the public during Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. And this is because she issued a restraining order saying, you can't shoot priests in the head with pepper balls. You can't arrest journalists or tackle them or detain them unless they're breaking the law. And the same with protesters. Right? And she also, in that order, said, if you're going to deploy tear gas, you have to give multiple warnings. And they didn't do that. And so she was very mad. And she said, quote, I live in Chicago, if folks haven't noticed, and I'm not blind. Right? And seems clear, yeah, she's real mad about this. And, you know, I pointed this out on that, you know, the breakdown, the show I do over on Midas, I'm like, ice is violating a court order when they attacked and dragged down and handcuffed and almost pantsed that WGN producer, that TV producer on the ground. They aren't allowed to do that stuff. And she's pissed, all right.
- [04:27]
B
And I do have a little good news, because I hate this guy. Oklahoma's new public schools superintendent announced Wednesday. I don't hate that person, by the way. Their new superintendent announced Wednesday he is rescinding a mandate from his predecessor, the bigot, that forced schools to place Bibles, not just any Bible, Trump Bibles in classrooms and incorporate the book into lesson plans for students. Superintendent Lindell Fields said in a statement he has, and I quote, no plans to distribute Bibles or biblical character education curriculum in classrooms. The directive last year from former Superintendent Ryan Walters. I love to watch porn during meetings. Hey, you can watch porn, but not if you're trying to ban it. Drew immediate condemnation from civil rights groups and prompted a lawsuit from a group of parents, teachers and religious leaders that is pending before the Oklahoma Supreme Court. It was to have applied to students in grades five through 12. So that is good news. In my book it is.
- [05:25]
A
And that Bible, by the way, the 69, 99 made in China Trump Bible didn't include like most of the amendments, including the one that the Reconstruction amendments, due process and the stuff where women can vote like that was just not even in there. So interesting.
- [05:43]
B
Yep.
- [05:44]
A
All right, next up from the Associated Press. This is fun. A Florida judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked the planned transfer of prime downtown Miami real estate for Trump's future presidential library. I don't even know what a Trump library would look like. This move by Circuit Judge Mavel Ruiz came after a Miami activist challenged that officials at a local college violated Florida's open government law when they gifted the sizable plot of land to the state, which then voted to transfer it to the foundation for the planned library. Quote, this isn't an easy decision, the judge said on Tuesday when explaining her ruling from the bench finding that the college did not give the public reasonable notice ahead of the vote last month.
- [06:27]
B
Okay. And oh, I get to give more good news. A unanimous panel of the 7th Circuit made up of a Bush appointee, an Obama appointee and a Trump appointee walked into a bar. It was the legal bar declined to step in and block a lower court order barring the deployment of the National Guard in Chicago. And this is a quote, we conclude that the district court's factual findings were not clearly erroneous and that the facts did not justify the president's actions in Illinois. So these are some wins. We're having some wins, everyone.
- [07:01]
A
Yes, that's good news. Now, the first story up in the hot notes depends on how you feel about John Bolton. So let's, yeah, let's get to it. Let's hit the hot notes. Hot notes. First up from Politico, former National Security Advisor John Bolton, half man, half mustache, was charged Thursday with illegally sending classified information to unauthorized people while he worked at the White House and keeping similar documents at his home after leaving the government. The 18 count indictment contends that Bolton regularly sent more than 1,000 pages of diary like entries to two people related to him while he was handling the nation's most sensitive military, intelligence and diplomatic matters. Many of the messages contained information designated as classified up to the top secret and sci or sensitive compartmented information level. Unlike the bare bones indictments against Comey and Letitia James, which Halligan alone signed, the slew of charges against Bolton were obtained by a veteran national security prosecutor in Maryland, Thomas Sullivan. The case was also endorsed by the career federal prosecutor the Trump administration named earlier this year as the interim U.S. attorney for Maryland, Kelly O. Hayes. The backing of career prosecutors for this case against Bolton was underscored by the optics of the brief late afternoon court session Thursday where the indictment was handed up to a federal magistrate judge. The indictment attempts to singe Bolton with his own words by quoting public commentary he offered in recent years condemning officials involved in controversies over cavalier handling of sensitive information, including the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server and the more recent blow up over Trump administration national security officials use of a signal chat to discuss planned military operations. So they're like, oh, you were seemingly, you know, talking about Hillary Clinton using a private email server, but so did you. And, oh, you were talking about Kegseth using signal chat, but so did you. So Bolton's case was assigned to U.S. district Judge Theodore Chuang as an Obama appointee who joined the bench in 2014. Dana, I've read this indictment. It's not just signed. It's not like a Lindsay Halligan thing. It's a serious indictment. And if what it alleges is true, John Bolton is in a lot of trouble because he was supposed to return all that classified information after his book review and he didn't. He kept it.
- [09:37]
B
Oh, boy.
- [09:38]
A
He didn't have a skiff in his house and he sent classified information to two members of his family using a private email server.
- [09:46]
B
Yeah, that does seem pretty serious.
- [09:48]
A
Yeah, I was looking through it like, where's the bullshit? This has got to be bullshit, right? It's just. No, this is. Oh, he's in trouble.
- [09:57]
B
Yep, we'll find out. This is from the Oversight Committee. Today Rep. Robert Garcia, ranking member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, demanded that Attorney General Pam Bondi end her efforts to obstruct the committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and cease the White House cover up of Epstein's connections to wealthy and powerful individuals. For months, Bondi has refused to comply with the Oversight Committee's lawful congressional subpoena to release the full Epstein files and must cooperate with the committee's investigation into a corrupt quid pro quo between DOJ and Galene Maxwell. This comes after the Department of Justice has refused to provide additional production from the Epstein files or shared details about the full scope of Epstein related materials in its possession. It's also failed to respond to the Committee's investigation into preferential treatment for convicted sex offender Galene Maxwell. And this is a quote. Each day Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice fail to comply with our subpoena to release the full Epstein files to is another day Donald Trump continues his White House cover up. That was from ranking member Robert Garcia. He went on to say, survivors of Epstein and Maxwell's crimes deserve justice. The American People demand transparency and under no circumstances will oversight Democrats tolerate defiance of Congress lawful subpoenas or any efforts by the Trump administration to collude with Galene Maxwell and further this cover up. We're demanding Pam Bondi and DOJ comply with our subpoena, stop protecting pedophiles, and fulfill their legally bound commitment to our committee so that we can review the full Epstein files. We will not stop fighting until we get the truth and those implicated are head accountable.
- [11:39]
A
Yeah, good one. And I noticed, by the way, in this article that's on their website that they put quid quo pro.
- [11:50]
B
Let me tell you, as I was saying this, my brain was going, what's the right way to say that? Did I say it right? Am I supposed to rehearse those things? Is that the right way to say it? I almost had a little breakdown.
- [12:00]
A
My brain short circuited there too. I'm like, quid pro quo. Quid pro. It's pro quo, right? It's quo. That's why we called it squid pro crow when we did the Mueller investigation.
- [12:11]
B
Weird things happen. And Alison will attest to this. Comedians. As I'm speaking, I can think about the next thing that I'm gonna say. Like, as I'm telling a joke, even if I'm in the moment, my brain is thinking about the next thing coming out. So as I was reading the script, the other part of my br. Brain was going, I don't think that's right. But I said it right. Didn't I say it right?
- [12:28]
A
But the words, you did say it right. You know, script be, you know, website be damned, where we pulled this from.
- [12:39]
B
A dude on my own, people.
- [12:41]
A
That is so true. Like, when I'm telling jokes, I'm actually thinking about other things. I'm like, okay, so they laughed at the dick jokes, that they like dick jokes. But do they like clever dick jokes? Should I tell the, the, the heady dick jokes or should I go down a different. And go for the really kind of, you know, low brow dick jokes? And, and meanwhile, I'm talking, I'm telling jokes.
- [13:07]
B
It's bizarre.
- [13:08]
A
It is bizarre how the. I do it with songs too. Like, I'll just be playing a song and I'll be thinking like, did I turn the stove off? What's going on? You know, and it's, it's, it's a real thing that happens when you're a comedian. You can do that. You can, I think, two separate things at once. It's amazing. All right, next up from the BBC. Oh, this is Horrible. I hate to take this harsh left turn from fun comedy chat to the Supreme Court, but they heard oral arguments on Wednesday in a case that could dramatically reshape the electoral politics of the American South. The court heard a challenge to a central pillar of the Voting Rights act, which was originally designed to protect the electoral power of black Americans in the face of state sanctioned. Although this session was scheduled for only an hour, it stretched for more than twice that long, with the nine justices peppering lawyers in the case with questions. Once the legal dust had settled, it appeared possible that a majority of the court was open to a substantial reinterpretation of the landmark civil rights era law. If the challenge is successful, it could lead to the redrawing of congressional districts across the south that, by some estimates, could flip more than a dozen seats from Democrat to Republican. Given the current narrow partisan divide in the US House of Representatives, such a ruling has the potential to give Trump's party a decisive advantage in retaining their majority in next year's midterm congressional election. Although I remember in 2018 when we flipped, like, 50 seats, so. Or netted, I should say, like 50 seats, but, you know, we're already seven points down on the general ballot because of gerrymandering. To throw 12 more seats that way, that's a lot. Yeah, it's just. It's like, fuck, can we just fuck?
- [14:59]
B
Yeah.
- [15:00]
A
According to a UCLA law professor named Rick Hansen, it would reverse decades of court precedent and amount to an earthquake in the American political system. As if to underline the tectonic shift such a move would represent, Louisiana's Republican officials flipped from defending their state's legislative maps, which they had said was drawn to be in compliance with the Voting Rights act, to asking the court to do away with the law's black district requirements entirely. This would be the last bit of the Voting Rights act to be gutted. The Trump administration joined the case to make a similar request. And during oral arguments, Janai Nelson, who represents the original group of black Louisiana voters, warned that abandoning the Voting Rights act protections would be pretty catastrophic. While the Supreme Court is not expected to issue a decision in this case for months, maybe next spring or June, Wednesday's oral arguments indicated there may be a majority on the court who favor discarding or at least substantially paring back the current Voting Rights act requirements, Brett Kavanaugh considered one of the court's swing votes. Okay, the BBC thinks he's a swing vote. The repeater vote, a swing, okay, swinger vote.
- [16:15]
B
Hey, listen, that's the wrong swingers. But there's something wrong with Brett Kavanaugh.
- [16:19]
A
There's something real wrong with Brett Kavanaugh. He repeatedly expressed concern about whether there were any limits on how long the law's minority district requirements might stay in effect. In 2013, the Supreme Court had struck down a separate provision of the law requiring federal approval for voting procedure changes as no longer necessary. That's the pre clearance requirement that, that was like if, if Mississippi wants to change, you gotta clear it with the Department of Justice because you got a history. Chief Justice John Roberts authored that ruling and he's also seen as a potentially decisive vote in this case as well. So.
- [16:54]
B
Oh, man, oh man.
- [16:55]
A
Not looking forward to it. And I don't know, I've had a lot of people ask me, if they do gut the rest of the Voting Rights act and they do that in the spring, summer, is there enough time for Republicans to redraw maps for the midterms? And I don't know the answer to that question.
- [17:11]
B
I know we're going to find out, unfortunately. Okay. We're going to keep on moving. We've got good news coming in the second segment. You all know that. So let me. Let's just get through the hot notes. This is from the Wall Street Journal. The Trump administration is preparing sweeping changes at the Internal Revenue Service that will allow the agency to pursue criminal inquiries of left leaning groups more easily. According to people familiar with the matter. Senior IRS official involved in the effort has drawn up a list of potential targets that include major Democratic donors. Okay. The undertaking aims to install allies of Trump at the IRS Criminal Investigative Division, or irsci, to exert firmer control over the unit and weaken the involvement of the IRS lawyers in criminal investigations. The proposed changes could open the door to politically motivated probes. You think?
- [18:00]
C
No.
- [18:00]
B
And are being driven by Gary Shapley. He's the advisor to the Treasury, Scott Besant, who apparently likes to get in fights. Shapley. Or Shapley could be. Shapley has told people that he is going to replace Guy Fico, the chief of the Investigative Unit who has been at the agency for decades. And that Shapley has been putting together a list of donors and groups he believes IRS investigators should look into. Among those on the list are the billionaire Democratic donor George Soros and his affiliated groups. That's according to a senior IRS official and another person briefed on the list. It could be determined upon what ground Shapley would seek to begin such an investigation. The effort within the IRS coincides with a larger administration effort to probe left leaning groups for helping to finance organizations that the President says are creating anarchy in Democratic led cities. Trump has directed Besant, who is also acting IRS commissioner. I know there's no conflict there to identify financial networks that the President says are fomenting political violence. Democrats say the effort is politically motivated and not based on any real evidence. Yeah.
- [19:14]
A
Or in reality at all. Yeah. And Gary Shapley. Shapley, you might remember him from the Hunter Biden tax investigation. Him and that other IRS agent were the ones who were like, he needs to be indicted for 2014 years, 2014 and 2015. And they're like, no. And you know, he should be indicted for not paying taxes even though he paid the taxes back and all that other stuff. He also filed a defamation lawsuit against Abby Lowell, who was an attorney for Hunter Biden in that tax case, and that got thrown out by a judge today. So that's interesting timing that he, they were like, no, Gary Shapley, you're full of shit. And we're throwing out your lawsuit. And you can't sue a lawyer for defamation for stuff that they put in court filing that is based on evidence. Sorry. So anyway, he's a real douchebag. And Besant being the Treasury Secretary and the IRS commissioner, this, he's the sixth or seventh one, by the way. Nobody was willing to do Trump's bidding. But I think Besant will be. I think he's been guaranteed a pardon from breaking all these laws. All right, everybody, it's time for some good trouble. What are you guys doing? Your good trouble assignment today, should you choose to accept it, is if you can, and if you are able, get out to your local no Kings rally tomorrow. Saturday, the one in San Diego starts at the waterfront, 10am I'll be there. And I think we all need to show up. If you have an American flag, bring it because they're calling this an anti America, Hate America rally.
- [20:58]
B
It's so ridiculous. Oh, it's in tube. It's Hamas. They're saying Hamas and antifa. And it's awful. It's awful. Awful.
- [21:04]
A
Yeah. And yeah, I think it's going to be amazing. I think we're going to set records, even break the record that we set in June for no Kings 1. So I will see you all out there and would love for you to send in your photos of your no Kings rally where you go to the good news. And we're going to get to the good news, but first we're going to talk to John Fugelsang. So everybody stick around. We'll be right back after these messages.
- [21:29]
C
We'll be right back.

The.
- [23:50]
A
What is it? The Fugal Stack.
- [23:51]
C
The Fugal Stack. We're. We're still playing with that. Yeah. That's more you pushing that on people than me.
- [23:55]
B
I know.
- [23:56]
A
Yes, I know. That's.
- [23:57]
B
That.
- [23:57]
A
It is. It's all me. But we, we really appreciate you joining us. Our good friend John Fugal saying, hey, John.
- [24:03]
C
Thank you, Dr. Gill. It's such a pleasure to be here in your little corner of sanity talking us all off the ledge as you do so Well, I don't know about.
- [24:11]
A
That today, but we can talk. We can talk about a lot of stuff going on. First of all, J.D. vance is saying.
- [24:18]
C
What a guy, huh? What a guy.
- [24:19]
A
Nazis in the chat groups, they're just kids, you know, they're just kids and they don't know what they're doing. 12 year olds should carry babies to term, but these guys. Yeah, no, they don't know.
- [24:34]
C
Why don't you understand that these people are just kids and college kids in their 30s and 40s, some of whom are elected officials in governance, and they don't know what they're doing. They're just talking about how much they love Hitler and making jokes about, you know, gas chambers and, and calling black folks watermelon people. It's not like they did anything evil like, quote Charlie Kirk's actual words, which then means you have to get them fired. I mean, J.D. vance is really this guy. This is the guy, of course, who spread the racist lie about the Haitians eating pets. This is the guy burying his face in the lap of a racist he once called Hitler and he's now screaming at all you woke anti racists. Stop criticizing these grown racists over their harmless pro Nazi racism. And I just want everyone to stay alive as long as possible to watch JD Vance's kids grow up and discover who their dad really is. Because again, he, he was saying a month ago to get people fired from their jobs if they speak critically of Charlie Kirk. And now he is telling you to not trust anyone who doesn't enjoy hearing Hitler being praised in a group chat. And by the way, 28,000 racist messages. Like, think about that. 28. How long does it take Dr. Gill to send 28,000 racist. That's not a lapse in judgment. That's like a doctorate's curriculum. 28,000. I mean, this is the future of the Republican Party. And it looks a lot like Berlin in 1939.
- [26:02]
A
Yeah, but they're just kids. You know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of 80s teen movies like Just One of the Guys or Can't Buy Me Love or Karate Kid where everyone in the high school was in their 30s.
- [26:15]
C
Yeah, it's a youthful indiscretion. You've like George bush in his 40s. A youthful indiscretion is all right.
- [26:22]
A
Locker room talk, that's all it is. And then we've got that Republican rep on a zoom call with an American flag with a swastika in it, and they're trying to say, oh, it's just an optical illusion. Your eyes were deceiving you.
- [26:34]
C
That's right.
- [26:35]
A
And by the way, don't read Animal Farmer 1984. Don't. Just don't.
- [26:40]
C
And I want to point out there's very fine Nazis on both sides. Please don't lose sight of that. There's very fine Nazis on both sides. But Donald Trump's been pretty quiet about this. Have you noticed? The only time I've ever heard Trump condemn a Nazi is when the guy was late to a rally. That's it. So, yeah, look, they're showing us who you are. And the one thing we can count on is like the Haitian pet racist lie. The media won't care, but this is who they are. And I predict I, I will praise the Republicans who have denounced this. It's been a lot more than I thought. But I don't think it's going to take a week for us to start hearing that some of these poor folks are just victims of the woke mob. And I guarantee you will see some of these people, I guarantee you, you will see some of these racist Nazis trying to advance their careers on this, running for office based on this, making appearances all over OA and the Newsmax based on this, as victims of the woke mob for free speech and locker room jokes. Just like the January 6th terrorists. There will be people who will try to build on this. And the very act of them trying to gain celebrity from this is how right wing media legitimizes freaking Nazis. And they're gonna do it.
- [27:53]
A
And either that or they'll blame it on the government shutdown. I mean, we had the DOJ arguing all that shutdown's fault in court today, that the reason they can't get body cams on all of the ICE agents in Chicago is because the government is shut down. Sorry, you, Honor, we can't, can't do it. The government is shut down.
- [28:10]
C
All we can do is send $20 billion to Argentina and send troops and $40 billion to Argentina and deploy troops in our cities. But beyond that, we're powerless. Our hands are tied to.
- [28:21]
A
Yeah, so it's all the Democrats fault. And they're putting Kristi Noem out on televisions around the country in airports to make sure that travelers. An audience that is kind of stuck there in line waiting for tsa. But a lot of airports are refusing to play the video, saying it's a violation of the Hatch act, which is nice. Indeed. We've seen Seattle, Tacoma, Portland Airport, Newark, LaGuardia, JFK, all in the New York area. Airports, Arizona. The Lindbergh Field. No, not Lindbergh Field. That. It's the Arizona Phoenix International Airport. Sky Harbor.
- [29:02]
C
Well, they got a Democratic governor and two Democratic senators in that state, don't they?
- [29:06]
A
Yeah. And I was talking to my lawyer, like, trying to figure out who owns these TVs and if there was any sort of lawsuit I could file to get it to stop. But not really, because it's, you know, not a lot of. Of, quote, irreparable harm. But that's the propaganda. They went in and changed furloughed government employees emails to say that this was the Democrats fault and they don't need a single Democrat to open the government. And they're pulling the whole. Trust me, bro. They're like, hey, just open the government and we'll come in and talk about extending the ACA tax credits. Just trust us.
- [29:37]
C
Well, I had this quarrel last night on CNN with our buddy Dan Crenshaw, who showed up, and he was just telling me how it's the Democrats fault. The Democrats fault. We're all doing, you know. And I was like, well, you know, the Democrats are in D.C. y' all don't want to use reconciliation to open this up. Marjorie Taylor Greene is literally telling the truth about why you guys don't want to use reconciliation to open this up. And. And I said to him, I said, it's really great to have you here in New York, though. And he's like, well, we're doing constituent work. And I'm like, I'm glad you're doing constituent work in New York City. For the folks of Texas, I don't expect to be seeing any constituent work that looks like town halls. But this Kristi Noem thing, I love it because, you know, when I'm having my dignity taken away and having my toothpaste checked by an unpaid TSA agent, it's great to see her Face this. Here's the thing that no one in the media has talked about. This video of Kristi Noem. It's actually not about travel safety. It's got nothing to do with travel safety. There's 63,000 federal workers unpaid, 40,000 flight delays. It's all to pay for billionaire tax cuts and the Hatch Act. As you pointed out, Dr. Gill literally says that federal officials can't use government resources for partisan messaging. So, logically, Kristi Noem, who was banned, I believe, from walking on about 30% of her own state because the indigenous population banned her from the reservations. This is before she ever began shooting dogs. And by the way, if I had shot a dog, I'd probably have an affair with Corey Lewandowski just to have something less disgusting than that on my resume. But, I mean, she's doing this, filming a campaign.
- [31:13]
A
Weren't they just in Argentina?
- [31:15]
C
Yeah, but she's doing this on government property using government employees. So while these thousands of TSA workers are unpaid, they're also forced to watch this video all day long. The victims of this propaganda are forced to show the propaganda. It's like. Like fascist performance art. Kristi Noem is the first person in history to turn airport security into a Fox News segment. And we know that the Justice Department will do nothing about it. So it's just going to get added to the long hall of fame is how lawless this administration was. And when Ken Burns finally makes his movie, it's going to have to be 700 hours long.
- [31:52]
A
Yeah. And the thing is, though, they aren't just stopping there with their propaganda. And I want to kind of bring this up because, you know, you're on Sirius xm. I think we're both over on Spotify with a couple of things, and podcasts, Patreon. All of these platforms have ICE recruitment ads running on them, and they aren't letting us block them. So I just want to let everybody know, if you hear an ICE recruitment ad, email us@helloullerscharote.com, let us know what market and what time, what city you were in and when you heard it, and we'll see if we can whack a mole, block these ads. But we're having. It's. It's kind of overwhelming right now, and we're having a hard time stopping them.
- [32:37]
C
I know. But in fairness to the ICE recruitment ads, you know what? There's lots of men out there who don't have direction in life, and they're amoral, brutal bullies, but they're also Complete, dickless, unmanly cowards. And really, when you have those traits, when you're a bully and a completely dickless coward, working for ICE is for so many mediocre men, their only opportunity for employment, Allison. So please, have a little sensitivity for those guys. You gotta be a coward who's too unmanly to show your face. And you've also got to get off on abusing people. It's a real sweet spot.
- [33:11]
A
Yeah. And if you don't get laid, it's clearly because of the government shutdown.
- [33:15]
C
Well, no, it's also Hunter Biden's fault if you don't get laid. Come on, now. And the trans kids and the migrant crisis. That's all. That's why.
- [33:20]
A
And antifa, Right?
- [33:21]
C
Yeah. Well, then that's why these. These women aren't as accommodating as the ones in porn.
- [33:28]
A
Well, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if you saw an ICE recruitment ad during the Zoran Mandani debate tonight. That's gonna be happening now. This is, of course, this. This show comes out Friday. The debate's Thursday night, but it hasn't happened yet. I'm looking forward to watching it. And he was on Fox News recently.
- [33:44]
C
He went on Fox and did the smartest thing he could have done. He turned to the camera and openly addressed Donald Trump and explained why Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo are punks.
- [33:54]
A
And.
- [33:55]
C
And he did it in the warmest way possible. This guy is young. He can talk policy, but still be warm like Obama and Buttigieg can. This guy brings people together. He's the most popular candidate with young voters in New York City history, and he stands up to Trump. So I. I can see why Democrats want to keep him at arm's length. My God. I mean, Bernie nailed it on the CNN town hall the other night. This guy is everything you want. He's incredibly popular. Oh, you're looking for a 20th century Democratic candidate model, I understand, but the future is multiracial. The future is multicultural. And I get in a lot of trouble for saying this, but on poverty, this guy Mamdani is so much closer to the actual teachings of Jesus than any of these filthy, fake Christians who are smearing him for being Muslim. And Trump said, this guy's never worked a day in his life. And that's because helping people and organizing tenants and fighting for justice, that doesn't count as work in Trump's world. But again, it's just like mlk. He's so full of humanity that the right doesn't know what to do. So they see compassion, and they immediately go communism. I mean, that's all they got for him. And so all he has to do.
- [35:06]
A
Empathy is a sin.
- [35:07]
C
Yeah. So he shows up and he's charming and he's full of compassion and he's articulate, and he cares about people, and he's gonna keep on showing over and over again that they're lying about him. And you know what? It's sad that there are Democrats that are still too frightened to endorse this guy. I mean, even if he loses, at least they'll respect you for taking a stand. But trying to have it both ways. Trying. Oh, maybe Cuomo can do it after you call for Cuomo to leave office. I mean, and you're afraid to support this guy. Have you seen all the videos of him with Orthodox Jews in New York? Is it just apex that you're afraid of?
- [35:44]
A
I mean, my question, John, because the amount of money that AIPAC donates to some of these candidates, let's say it's around the $800,000 mark. If you would stand up to AIPAC and stand up for candidates like Mamdani or anybody, you know, the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, the whatever's going on in Florida 1 and Florida 6 early this year in Iowa, if you would stand up for the. These candidates. Platner up. Up in Maine, if you would stand up for these candidates, you will make up that difference in donor dollars that you will lose from AIPAC in. In a day.
- [36:21]
C
You would. And again, I think American Jews would like the policies of Mamdani a lot more than the policies of Netanyahu, because Netanyahu has lied to Israeli people for decades. He promised to keep them safe. Promised to keep them safe while propping up Hamas. He's done this deliberate starvation to keep his corrupt ass out of prison. And he's been telling the entire world for 20 years that Iran is two years away from having a nuke that'll kill us all. This guy's a grifter like Trump. And the worst part of this peace deal, that's really a ceasefire. That's not actually a ceasefire because they're still shooting Palestinians. Is, you know, like, everyone gets all gaga because I guess for 24 hours, the world thought, we're supposed to believe Donald Trump, Hamas, and Netanyahu.
- [37:04]
A
At the same time, some Republicans said, why are there no women hostages being released? And I guess they just forgot that Biden got all the women hostages.
- [37:13]
C
Biden got them all out. And, yeah, and again, look, Trump, if Trump gets credit okay, if that's all these people care about, he gets credit for strong arming Netanyahu in ways that Biden did not. But I'll say it happened because Netanyahu was so stupid and bombed the Hamas representatives in Qatar. So Qatar, which just bribed what we call the living hell out of Donald Trump with a plane that we're all paying to upgrade Qatar, put the screws to them, and that's what they used to eventually force Netanyahu to capitulate. But again, they're still slaughtering people. It's back to January 5, 2023. Nothing's changed for Palestine, except they don't have houses anymore, and 24% of them have been murdered. You know, Hamas sucks. Hamas is going away, no doubt, but there's nothing changed in the moral infrastructure of the region. So the problems that we have been living with our entire lives wondering why, how this occupation makes life better for America, how this occupation makes America's economy or America's people safer, you know, again, and, and Mamdani, when they. They asked him about Gaza, and he said the only standard he's recognizing is international law, that justice applies to everybody, to Hamas and Israel and the United States. He's not a communist. He's got a conscience. He's competent with a conscience. And that's why it's so confusing. The folks at Fox.
- [38:30]
A
Yeah. And in return, Qatar got to. They get part of our military base in Idaho.
- [38:36]
C
So don't they, though? And then. And then Hegseth lying about it. I mean, can you imagine if Barack Obama had said, well, Cutter's been such a loyal, staunch ally in the war on terror and let us use their bases. We're going to give them a base. I mean, my God.
- [38:49]
A
Or if he brought the Taliban to.
- [38:50]
C
Camp David, can you imagine if he tried? But for the 911 anniversary. Anniversary.
- [38:53]
B
Yeah.
- [38:54]
C
And this is why the no kings protest is so brilliant right now. And they're why they're so scared. Like, they're. They're blaming. They're blaming the protest for shutting down the government. They're blaming a protest against tyranny that hasn't happened yet. Causing tyranny. Yeah, hasn't happened yet. But. But you know, it's called no kings because we're sick of Trump acting like one. We're sick of this presidential immunity lies. And Republicans heard that. They're like, he's not a king. And just to prove it, we'll give them total control of the budget while we're closing down the government. I mean, Alison, These are protests announced in September, and they're telling us it's responsible for a shutdown that began October 1st. It's like blaming your hangover on a wedding you're going to next month. And Trump is using the shutdown to bait or to. But again, they want the shutdown. Mike Johnson could call the Republicans back. He's not. They could use reconciliation to do it. They're not. Trump is getting off on firing people. That's all this is about.
- [39:52]
B
Yeah.
- [39:52]
A
And they don't even have to use reconciliation. They can just do a rule change for this particular continuing resolution and then sew it up at the end so that it doesn't kill the filibuster in the future. But they don't want to do that, and that's because they don't want to swear in Adelita Grijalva and, you know, get a vote. Not even just release the Epstein files, just get a vote on releasing the Epstein files. They're terrified of that.
- [40:16]
C
They are protecting child rape. And Mike. Mike Johnson is protecting child rape for Donald Trump. And that's the narrative that is not going away.
- [40:24]
A
Well, I'll be at no Kings on Saturday. Where are you gonna. Where are you gonna be?
- [40:27]
C
I'm gonna be in Myrtle beach because I'm going to be the keynote speaker at the Freedom From Religion foundation convention. Mary Trump's going to be there, and I'm just so honored that they would. You know, I wrote a book about how atheists and believers need to band together and form coalitions to beat back Christian fascism. And it took me 13 years of pitching this, and finally, Simon and Schuster took the idea. It's a bestseller. And I couldn't be more proud to go talk to a bunch of atheists doing the Lord's work.
- [40:55]
A
Yeah. And before I let you go, just some breaking news that I thought you might want to hear about. A unanimous per curiam order of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals made up of a Bush appointee, an Obama appointee, and a Trump appointee were unanimous in declining to step in to block a lower court order that bars the deployment of National Guard in Chicago, saying we conclude that the district court's factual findings were not erroneous and that the facts do not justify the president's actions in Illinois.
- [41:26]
C
So you're saying the. The woke. Extreme left hates America? That's. That's what I'm hearing, yes.
- [41:31]
A
Yeah, that's why we're going to do that hate America government shutdown rally on Saturday.
- [41:35]
C
Yeah. These guys would call Thomas Jefferson Antifa. These guys would call the cast of Saving Private Ryan antifa. Antifa.
- [41:41]
A
And Jesus Christ as well. Jesus too.
- [41:44]
C
And you know what? It's really simple. Just say to them what I always say. I'm anti violence and anti fascism. Aren't you? Try that one on your uncle and watch him squirm.
- [41:53]
A
Aren't you antifascist?
- [41:55]
C
I'm anti violence and anti fascist. Aren't you? They're not. Because their Christianity has nothing to do with Christ. Their whole religion is power. And that's what my book is about. That Jesus's whole thing was about humility and they can't stand that. Their whole thing is about domination. That's their religion. And that's the surest sign that their Christianity is fake. Because they've always got to be better than someone else. And if that's your spirituality, buddy, I'm not going to put any trust in you.
- [42:23]
A
Yeah, and you can read all about it in the New York Times Best selling books.
- [42:26]
C
That's right.
- [42:26]
A
Church and Hate.
- [42:27]
C
Hell yeah.
- [42:28]
A
And make sure you order like I do from my local bookstore and order a bunch of them. Put them out in your little free libraries around your neighborhood. Give them out as well. Holiday gifts. And see how that goes at the Christmas dinner table with Uncle Frank.
- [42:43]
C
I don't recommend giving my book to your racist uncle. This is a book for people who have to live and deal with the racist uncle. The racist uncle will not read it and will throw it at you.
- [42:51]
A
So give it to everyone but the racist uncle. Give it to everyone who knows where his is. You can say, this is for us to talk to you.
- [42:59]
C
Everyone who has to deal with the racist uncle should get this book. But the race, it's not for them. If they're not going to read the actual Jesus parts, they're really not going to read my take.
- [43:08]
A
Nope. And while you're at it, grab everybody's phone at Thanksgiving and Christmas and make sure to subscribe to the Daily Beans podcast and to Tell Me Everything and the John Fugelsang show podcast. And you can also catch him weeknights, 9:00pm Eastern, 6 Pacific, on Sirius XM progress channel 127. My good friend, John Fugelsang. Good to see you.

This is from Kent. Pronouns he and him Good day. Beans Queens I have some good news. Follow up to a Good Trouble submission from a few days ago regarding Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noemes. Insert vomit noise. That's my cue to go. TSA Propaganda Video Shortly after emailing External affairs at Detroit Metro Airport, I received a response stating the monitors are located in TSA leased space at dtw. You will need to connect with TSA Public affairs for more information. Yeah, right. But here's the good news. Wayne County Airport Authority put up a sign denouncing the video. Not just not showing it, denouncing the video. This is amazing. I've attached a photo. It's a small win, but a win nonetheless. For pophead Tariff, I've included the newest member of our pack, Olaf. At only nine weeks old, guessing his breed may be tricky, but I'll give you a hint. He's not a mix. And the sign says the views expressed in this TSA controlled video do not represent the views of the Wayne County Airport Authority. The Wayne County Airport Authority does not engage in partisan political politics. Thank you.
- [47:33]
A
Oh my God. That's cool. Okay.
- [47:35]
B
Oh my God. This. It looks like a great mastiff. A mastiff.
- [47:39]
A
It looks like a mastiff. That's a huge.
- [47:42]
B
It's gonna be a big ass dog. There's no answer given, which means I'm right. That's a mastiff.
- [47:47]
A
It's a mastiff. It's a giant mastiff. Ken. Giant Master, let us know. Let us know what Olaf is. He's great, by the way. So cute. Oh, I love it. Thank you for that. That's great. I love that sign. Well done. Next up, from Rena Bo Bena pronoun. She and her hello Queens of the Beans. I'm an avid listener who retired several years ago from teaching science at a special education alternative school. Working with students for whom the regular school setting is unable to meet their needs, I filled my newfound time with sewing, hiking, traveling, et cetera. However, I couldn't stay away and now find myself volunteering as a mentor at the school to begin an apiary with the students. We're learning beekeeping. This provides purposeful learning about ecology and environmental issues, the importance of pollination, and working with the community. When I'm not mentoring, I design and create poseable dolls for Commemorating special occasions. Rather than sell the dolls, I offer patterns and instructions for sewers and crafters to make their own. In preparation for this weekend's and future no Kings rallies, I'm offering 50% off all my peaceful protester doll patterns at my Etsy shop here. Just use the code word beans to get the discount. Oh my gosh. It's posemydollpatterns.etsy.com I love this. And just use the word beans to get a discount. I follow you both everywhere. I appreciate all you do to leguminate us by sharing and shining your light on all that matters.
- [49:20]
B
Look at this is such a good little tiny sign that says silence is not golden for seeing me.
- [49:26]
A
Oh my gosh, I love this. Thank you, Rena Bobina. Oh my God.
- [49:34]
B
I know this is from Tanya Love. Tanya Love. No pronouns given. Thank you for what you do and how you do it. I listen daily faithfully and I share your channel constantly. Just to let DG know when she's in Minneapolis if she has time to go visit Loring Park. It's the best park in Minneapolis. Park board system. This is 16 year old Daisy.
- [49:54]
A
Oh my God. I love Daisy.
- [49:57]
B
Thanks, Tanya.
- [49:57]
A
Love.
- [49:58]
B
Let's see, I'm going to put this in my map right now I'm looking at Loring Park. Okay.
- [50:02]
A
Best park in the park board system. All right. Next up from Kat Pronoun. She and her I'm coming to the end of my one year contract as a home care organizer in Minnesota. It has been a tremendously enriching experience. I started the day after the general election and I was so grateful to have someplace to go that day. I planned to stay in touch with the resistance coalition contacts I've made and I look forward with hope to whatever comes next. I am Marshaling for no Kings 2 Twin Cities. I'm so excited to hear you will have a presence there. My podpet tax is my dearest kitty Jane Doe. That's a great name. Cat. She was rescued from a plumbing fabrication shop in Oakland, California, and is very intrigued by the difference in wildlife that she sees outside our windows now. She went from a view of a tightly spaced Bay Area home with pigeons and raccoons and the occasional coyote to a pond with ducks and geese and the occasional rabbits and deer. She helped my whole family maintain sanity during the height of the pandemic. I'm so grateful for her every day. Thank you all for what you two do. I'm glad to hear news that cuts through the bullshit and gives a call to action. Kat, thank you so much for those kind words. Look at this beautiful baby torch.
- [51:18]
B
So sweet.
- [51:20]

I want to pet. And that's a really nice crocheted little afghan there. Sure is. Keeps my toes warm.

All right, this is from Rob. Pronouns he and him goodest news and shout out greetings and salutations. First, I have a quick correction. It seems that everyone is mispronouncing Saturday. Well, it looks like it's pronounced no Kings. It's actually my birthday. Sadly, I won't be rabble rousing as my wife started planning my birthday camping trip before either of us heard of the rally date. But we'll be celebrating in our own way and standing up for our democracy every day. Secondly, I'd like to shout out this awesome woman who has called me her husband for 25 years. Rachel's beautiful and smart and is genuinely a great person. She's made the tough times bearable and the good times phenomenal. What a great statement. I played an episode of the Beans while we were driving, and now she's a regular listener. I'm sharing a photo of our newest adoptee. These Tito and Tea are litter mates and waited for someone to adopt them together. They are sweet and terrific and troublemakers in equal amounts. And they're absolutely adorable little Chihuahuas.
- [52:31]
A
Oh, my God. Look at that little girl dog.
- [52:35]
B
Oh, they're very sweet.
- [52:38]
A
Okay, Rob, here's what you do. You just make a couple of signs, protest signs, or bring the stuff to make signs at your campsite. And just the two of you walk around the tent one time, take a photo, set up a no Kings rally there at your campsite.
- [52:56]
B
People would join you. I bet that. I bet they would@nokings.org and just have.
- [53:02]
A
It be you two.
- [53:03]
B
Oh, my God, he's so funny.
- [53:05]
A
That's something I would do. That is something I would do. Oh, can't be at the no Kings rally because we already went camping. All right, we'll do it at the campsite. And it's here. Everyone RSVP Number of people. Two. Anyway, that's so awesome. Happy birthday, sir. Next up from anonymous pronoun she and her. I have some good news and good trouble for you ladies. For your listeners here in Colorado this fall, there are two important measures on our ballot propositions LL and mm. These measures will support and extend Colorado's Healthy School Meals for All program. Oh, excellent. Excellent. I know. They've just. They just recently did that with Tim Walls, where you are right now, Dana. These programs have been game changers for children here providing free breakfast and lunch for every student, regardless of income. Proposition LL lets the state keep 11.3 million in excess revenue already collected for the program plus 1.1 million in interest, rather than refunding it to taxpayers. Proposition MM proposes a modest income tax increase on households earning over $300,000 a year to ensure continued funding for these meals. $1,000 for a single tax return filers and $2,000 for joint tax return filers. These measures don't affect most taxpayers, but they make a huge difference for kids who rely on school meals. Voting yes means no child goes hungry at school. Families get relief from rising food costs. Schools can serve healthier, locally sourced meals using foods from Colorado farms and ranches. School food service workers get fair wages. So let's keep Colorado a leader in supporting students and families. Vote YES on LL and MM this November and we'll have a link to the explainers in the show. Notes for my podbet tariff. Please see attached photo of our newest family addition, Raven May. Great name. She is a breeder surrender that we adopted from a local rescue. Shout out to Big Bones Canine Rescue in Windsor, Colorado for being a great nonprofit and tireless advocate for our furry family members. Raven is four months old and is complete chaos in the typical mode of a puppy and has made our family heal a little after we lost our 16 year old dachshund this spring. Her main breed is pretty obvious, but we're pretty sure there's one or two others in there as well. Doggy DNA test is pending. Raven, her doggy brother Hank and I listen to you on our daily walks to keep a bit of levity while staying informed. Keep up the great reporting and we'll get through this together. P.S. i also attached a photo of Hank. He has previously been featured on the podcast for his cucumber thievery. Oh boy. Other doxies think he's a supermodel with extra long legs. He enjoys their envy. Look at this new baby.
- [55:43]
B
Look at this puppy that looks like a, like legit. Just a black lab puppy that is.
- [55:49]
A
Oh no, I think that's Hank. Oh my God. So the long legs. Unless Hank is. Unless Hank is the brown one. Anyway, they're both adorable. Oh no, you got it. Raven is a black lab.
- [56:01]
B
Oh, you got it.
- [56:03]
A
You got it.
- [56:05]
B
I got one right?
- [56:06]
A
I'm like, no, I'm sure that's a dachshund with long legs, Dana.
- [56:09]
B
I know. I was like, those are some serious long legs.
- [56:13]

Driving home, I had a flash of inspiration for the Big Trouble idea to call House Speaker Mike Johnson. I got home and started writing lyrics for a great musical message to leave to his voicemail. Sung to the tune of Mr. Sandman by the who is it? The Chordettes. Lyrics attached. Cordette. Oh, my God, Dana. What is wrong with you? Cordettes. No one yell at me right now, please. I'm ashamed. Lyrics attached for immediate public use. No royalties needed. I wish I could do an awesome acapella rendition to share, but I am unable to do so at this time. Maybe you and Dana can crank it out. Or perhaps some beans Listeners might pick up the baton where I dropped it. Keep up the amazing work. I love all that you do. Allison just cleared her voice. Cause she's getting ready to sing. I love all that you do to keep the light democracy burning fiercely Perchance one day we'll burn through all this insane fuckery all right, you ready?

It's going to be spectacular. I remember how I felt after the last one, Dana, and it carried me through to this one.
