Well, if you know how much I love wine, you know, how excited I am to talk to Damien from my favorite. Oh, my God, this is my favorite new rosé. Chateau August grand rosé. Hi, Damien. Hi, Tiffany. I thought I was a Chardonnay girl. You have won me over entirely. And I read a tweet, Janine said, um, the good news is I, my six bottles of Chateau August rosé arrived yesterday. The bad news is I may drink them all today. Can you get more offer codes, maybe the other varietals? Well, I think I may go through a lot of them by November. You make a lot of great wines. I, you know, I'm excited to get into the Reds as we get into fall. But I mean, this rosé is just a perfect summer wine, isn't it? Sure. No, it's a perfect summer wine. It's made with with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. So it's not usual for for a rosé because it's normally more for red grapes for red wines. And no, that's why we tried to change the techniques few few years ago, because we just want to to make something different. We get the right fruit, yeah, right color and right taste. One of the things I love is that you play music to the vines twice a day. This is a scientific process. Tell us about that. We work with with genetics with the company who made the box for the music on the on the vineyards. It's more frequencies and vibration. So and we played two times per day when when the sunrise and the size. Yeah, and it's at the vines to have a better immunity. So it's it's good for the health of the vines. I cannot recommend this grand rosé highly enough again. My serious XM listeners get over 50% off. Go to vs.wine six bottles for 98 bucks and three delivery.

It's serious XM progress. How's it going for you? I'm John Feudle saying welcome back the channel one 27. We are so happy to be with you. Once again, tell me everything, the little show here at what the hell o'clock is this bringing good trouble to the right wing bubble? I want to thank the mighty Thea Harper for running this piece of a show all last week while Chris and I were both away. Thank you again to the great Thea Harper and and and it was Joe said by filling in last week, right? Thank you, Joe. My God, we are so blessed. I am so blessed that when I'm gone, you guys get to know what a real broadcaster or a real journalist does with a time slot like this. So thank you all so much for listening. And I want to go back in time two weeks and thank Chris and Thea and everybody at Sirius XM once again for all the help in putting on these live shows at the convention. It was an insane, insane time. It's all been insane, folks. It's insane right now. That's why we are reaching out to all of you mind your own damn business voters and reminding you at 63 days, 63 days. Until we get to watch a new show, 63 days. North Carolina starts mailing out absentee ballots this week. Early voting starts in Pennsylvania. Two weeks, seven days till the debate. I'm John Fiegel saying this is tell me everything. Tomorrow's Trump bullshit tonight. There's so much to get to in the present and the past. The FBI arrested a former aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochl and Andrew Cuomo. They have charged Linda son with secretly wielding influence as a double agent of the Chinese government. Yes, wreaking havoc on the inner politics of the state of New York. We're going to carry that presidential debate, by the way, in a week live right here on Sirius XM progress with instant post debate reaction from listeners. And we'll see how many jokes they allow us to make during a live broadcast. You might have heard John McCain's son Jimmy has criticized the Trump campaigns disgusting attempt to use Section 60 in Arlington as campaign fodder, calling it a violation over the weekend. Trump tried to spread blame around telling one interview with the debacle was all the fault of the gold star family who invited him. Telling another interviewer was really all Kamala Harris's fault. He's flailing folks. He's flailing. We're going to talk about it tonight. You might have noticed protesters jam the streets of Tel Aviv and workers joined a general strike condemning Prime Minister Benjamin. Yeah, whose cruel mismanagement of the Israel Hamas war. It turns out the UK in a rare break with its allies announced they're going to suspend arms sales to Israel. Did you? Did you know countries are allowed to do this? I did you know country? Who is this Keir Starmer, this Prime Minister? When did he get the apparently this guy who just got the job so who claims he's a former human rights attorney shows up and says, you know what, we're, we're allowed to turn off the tap on this. Yeah. Yeah, you're, you're, you're slaughtering 40,000 civilians hasn't really gotten the hostages out safely. Let's try another way. He's faced a lot of pressure from UK voters to act on this issue. Sort of makes you wonder what it would be like here. If America had the power to say, you know what, we're still going to support you. We're, we're, we're going to stop sending you arms until people aren't starving anymore, maybe it's a crazy time to be alive, folks. Violent crime is at a 50-year low. Inflation is under 3%. Border crossings are now lower than Trump. Your 401(k) is probably at an all-time high. And under Biden, Harris, fewer soldiers have died in combat than in any administration since Jimmy Carter. So let's do a show. I've been gone for a week and I've missed everybody very much. I hope you've had a good end of your summer. That's been a really special Christian nationalist summer. And I'm sorry to see it end. I'm recovering from this marathon of nonstop work all year. I've been like my dad this year. I've been working three jobs at once. I've been writing a book coming here and and and testing the limits of the tolerance of the good people who run SiriusXM and then doing this tour with the sexy liberal show on the weekends. And it's been a very intense summer. I've been working every single day morning, noon and night. We went to, you know what happened. We went to Chicago and we had a big sexy liberal show at the, at the Vic theater and Mark Hamill came and Governor Pritzker came and it was a pay per view. You can still see that at sexy liberal.com. I got back to my hotel, wrote till six in the morning, changed hotels the next day, went to the convention hotel at 3 a.m. I finally turned it by book manuscript to Simon and Schuster. So I can sleep now. And then we had an amazing week at the Democratic National Convention at the United Center, the super spreader center as I called it. I want to thank Sean Bertolo and Jay Getz and Dave Gorab and Ron, uh, whatever that guy, Ron, who works on this show. I, I can never remember that guy's name. He works on Stephanie Show too. Thank you, uh, Nara Hawk, Stephanie Miller for joining us. Michelangelo Signorelli all joined us in the booth. Incredible thanks to Chris Hauselt and Thea Harper. God, I wish my producers had had a chance to be at this event. It was just insane, although I would have put you in a much elevated risk group for COVID. So maybe it's better than I took a week off. Had my first time off all year that I took a week off earlier in the year, but I was writing 24/7 during that week off. And I took my son down to Virginia Beach. My mom's sister is in her eighties now. So we went and went to the beach and the water park and the aquarium and did indoor skydiving and the funhouse. And I made my child go to my parents old house, all the things that make a summer trip excruciating for a 12 year old. Very happy to be back right now. We've got a big sexy liberal show coming up this weekend in Portland, Oregon, with our special guest, Mr. Tom Harbin. Let's bring it back to the campaign because I want to I want to start up by by having a bit of a funeral for a group of people. We we came to love this year and my love. I mean, we couldn't stand them. The double haters, the people who kept telling every poll. Nope, I hate Trump and Biden. Hate them equally because, you know, they're so similar. The double haters are no more. For the first time, this election cycle voters are trusting the Democratic candidate more than the rapist and felon on the economy. This is according to the polling by the Financial Times and University of Michigan. The share of voters who say they don't trust either candidate, the double haters. It fell by half fell by half. I don't think it's fair. Joe Biden's poll numbers. Joe Biden deserved much better poll numbers. We don't deserve Joe Biden, but what a sharp change. The fact that voters were more positive on Harris and on Biden says, look, Biden was doing bad with the polling and it's really sad and now he's out and we can spend the rest of our lives talking about how fair or unfair it was. But it is a whole new world and a whole new campaign. Democrats had a very busy Labor Day weekend. Kamala Harris and President Biden and Governor walls were appealing to union workers and major swing states. Kamala Harris was praising the labor movement in a Detroit speech. She vowed to ensure workers rights to unionize. And then she was joined by Joe Biden for an event in Pittsburgh, where they outlined plans to maintain strong American steel companies. Here is clip A1 out of rally in Pennsylvania. Vice President Harris had a pretty quick reply for an audience member who was a little bit exuberant over Donald Trump's legal woes. But as we fight to move forward, Donald Trump is trying to pull us backward, including back to a time before workers had the freedom to organize. She's going to jail. Well, the courts will handle that and we will handle November. We'll handle November. Let the courts handle another thing. Really good line. This is what Democrats do when they're smart. They don't focus on Trump's criminality. Do you remember way back in the midst of time, the 2018 midterms? I know it's it's quaint to think back our hearts were young and gay. That was when all of the scandals of Russia were brewing. And of course, Robert Mueller eventually produced a report that showed that Donald Trump committed obstruction of justice 10 times and no one cared. But Democrats were not campaigning on Russia during the midterms of 2018. They didn't talk about Donald Trump's personal scandals. They talked about education. They talked about health care. Now, we don't know what case that person's talking about. OK, I want to be very clear. We don't know if President Trump will be in jail. Let that and that could be for the campaign finance case he lost in New York City. It doesn't refer to the New York business fraud case, the tax fraud and insurance fraud case that he lost in New York City, nor does it refer to the Eugene Carroll sexual assault and defamation case that he lost. He really lost two of those because he, you know, sexually abused her and then and then defamed her and then he couldn't shut up because he has no impulse control. And again, he could be referring to the lawsuit he lost against the New York Times or the Trump University trial because he lost that and the Trump Foundation because he stole from charity or maybe he means the many appeals he lost or the 61 lawsuits related to the 2020 election that he lost. He's lost folks. He's lost a lot. OK, 91 criminal offenses. Then they knocked a few off. They put four back this last week. He's been found guilty of 34 so far. He owes hundreds of millions in civil penalties to Eugene Carroll and the state of New York and despite all that, despite the fact that he is encouraging Vladimir Putin to attack our allies, despite the fact that he's a rapist and a racist, despite the fact that he stole from goddamn vets with his fraudulent online university, he's tied the polls, first president and 129 years to lose a popular vote twice. And he may become the first president over 100 years to lose it three times. He's first president in what? 90 years to lose the presidency, the house and the Senate in a single term. This guy's gold. He lost the most jobs of any president since Herbert Hoover. Lost Arizona and Texas and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania twice. He technically lost Georgia three times. And here, Donald Trump confesses, I'm sorry, tells Fox News is Mark Levin. You know, Mark Levin, right? You know how Donald Trump's like a job of the hot and Sean Hannity's his little salacious crumb, you know, that little bird like rodent pet that sits by Java going, yeah, yeah. Well, Mark Levin is the salacious crumb to Sean Hannity's job of the hot. Here he tells Mark Levin that messing with elections is well within his rights. And quite frankly, it's been pretty good for his popularity. Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election, where you have every right to do it. What you get indicted and you poll numbers go up when people get indicted, poll numbers go down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby, baby, baby, blah, blah, blah, blah. But OK, well, here's some more from Trump. Nothing but criticism for ABC News, where Trump will debate Kamala Harris a week from tonight. Of course, if he does well in a debate, he'll have nothing but praise for it. But it seems like man, baby, knows how this is going to go. Look, ABC is probably the worst in terms of fairness. George flopadopoulos, the people they have there are just terrible. Jonathan Carl and that's the only one she'll go to. Now the other, the other one is the head of ABC is her best friend and her husband's best friend too. And I had to make a decision, do I want to debate? I'd like to debate. I mean, I guess I I guess I want a lot of debates because otherwise I wouldn't have been president. I had a lot of debates initially and then I had quite a few and the last one was with Joe Biden, I think I did a very good job. Yeah, no, you didn't do a job. No, you lied over 100 times in 40 minutes. Folks, every time Donald Trump has run for president, and that's twice, the majority of Americans have voted against him. It's a very simple fact that happens to be true. Now, let's talk about the money here because Kamala Harris is either extremely confident or they're extremely scared, but this is what I think amazing news. You might have heard this is a huge boost for Democrats running for the House and the Senate and various state legislatures. And it shows how little the Republican Party has left to stand on. But Kamala Harris and the DNC are going to transfer nearly $25 million of the gazillions she has raised to help down ballot candidates, chances. Kamala Harris knows she's going to need the Senate. She's going to need the house. If she has an agenda, she wants to move forward. It's going to have to be all hands. And so this is great news for the fight to hang on to the Senate, to retake the house, to gain more governors, to win the down ballot races. Because Democrats need to win. You got to win up and down the ballot, especially in swing states. This can help ensure they do that. And this is something Donald Trump would never do. Donald Trump doesn't care about Republicans. He doesn't care about the down ballot races. His money he's raising for his campaign, as we have pointed out, and smarter shows than me have pointed out, it's going towards his legal fees. That's why, like a dictator would, he installed his inexperienced daughter-in-law to be in charge of the RNC, to funnel donor money to his lawyers. But the Kamala Harris campaign and the DNC are sending $25 million to boost Democrats' efforts in down ballot races. This is the largest transfer of funds in the history of our presidential cycles, $10 million to the DCCC, $10 million to the DSCC, $2.5 million to the DLCC, $1 million to the DA, $1 million to the DGA. Do you see what a party can do when the nominee and his daughter-in-law aren't funneling donor money to his defense attorneys? You know who Donald Trump is giving $25 million to this year? Eugene Carroll. And he's doing it three times. This is a very smart strategy for the Democrats to put this historic sum into getting them up and down the ballot because it also helps mobilize voters in the races at every level. There is more money. That means there's more volunteers. That means there's more people knocking on doors. This is not about just ensuring a Democratic president. It's a Democratic Congress. It's never happened before. And Donald Trump is not allocating any money to any down ballot GOP races. Kamala Harris holds a narrow lead in six of the seven battlegrounds, all except North Carolina, according to 538. And before dropping out, President Biden trailed in every battleground state. In 40 days, she's already surpassed Trump in six of the seven. Here is man, baby, talking this weekend. This is what she's up against. Give a listen of San Francisco. It's an eye on a big building there. It's no, I shouldn't talk about this, but that's OK. I don't give a damn because this is what I'm doing. You're doing what? I should say it's the finest city in the world selling. Get the hell out of there, right? But I can't do that. I don't care. You know, I lost billions of billions of dollars. You know, somebody said, what do you think he lost? I said, probably two, three billion. That's OK. You're a shame businessman. They said, do you think you do it again? And that's the least of it. What nobody do. We always say that I don't know if you know, Lincoln was horribly treated. Yeah, Jefferson was pretty horribly. Andrew Jackson was the worst of all that he was tried worse than any other president. One. And I said, do it again, because I think there's nobody close to Trump. I even got shot. And who the hell knows where that came from, right? That came from a Republican, you fat lying bitch. You all listen to this bitch go off. A Republican used a Republican gun to shoot at the Republican nominee. And the bullet missed him. It killed a man behind him. So man, baby, plays victim and says he had it worse than Lincoln, who was shot in the back by a Confederate, a man who waves the flag Trump defends. Chris, that clip just reminds me that I got to stop hanging out in the bathroom line at Mar-a-Lago. Can you believe? Could you that's that's neck and neck, neck and neck with that. It's not so much an indictment of Donald Trump. It's an indictment of the collective American IQ. So Democrats are outspending Republicans by a more than two to one margin. And it's most apparent in the battleground states. Now, Pennsylvania, Georgia, it's about the same. Michigan Democrats are spending 55 million Republicans, six million. Arizona Democrats are spending 34 million Republicans, nine million. Wisconsin Democrats spending 33 million Republicans, three and a half. North Carolina Democrats are spending 26 million Republicans, two point eight. Nevada Republicans are only spending 1.4 million. Democrats are spending 20 million in Omaha, Nebraska. Democrats are spending 7 million and the Republicans are spending nothing. Now, I know this means nothing. Ads don't mean anything. Hillary Clinton's outspent Trump on ads in 2016. We understand this, but Trump only did seven campaign events in August. I don't mean over Labor Day weekend. I mean the month of August and two of them were in North Carolina showing he hasn't totally written it off, but with 63 days left and about half of that, people started voting. Donald Trump did no Labor Day appearances over the weekend or on Monday, at least. And he's not really showing up on the campaign trail. JD Vance is, and I'm all for that as a fan of comedy. My God, my favorite words have now become JD Vance and previous podcast appearance. Donald Trump had about $151 million cash on hand at the end of July. Now they say it's around 58 million. He raised money in August. You'll raise more in September and October. He's got plenty of time, but Kamala Harris's campaign has 220 million on hand. And they raised 82 million over the four days of the Democratic Convention. Donald Trump did no rallies in Michigan or Wisconsin. And he staged one in Montana. They spent money to have a rally in Montana where it's not even competitive. He's only got one event between August 30th and September 7th. And he's going to go to Wisconsin for the first time since June. Folks, the Harris Wall's campaign is expanding their staff in Florida. You don't expand your staff in Florida unless you think Florida is a state you can win. And before we hit a break, I just want to play you this. Someone on Twitter did this, and I really respect it. Jeremy Newberger, Lara Trump's new single. This is the woman who has no qualifications to run the RNC, running the RNC, funneling the money to Trump's legal fees, and she puts out pop songs like Tom Petty's songs that Tom Petty's family asks her not to play. This is her new song and the Jeremy Newberger, give him credit. He realized what the song needed, a live screaming from a goat. Lara, take us to break. Without your bravery, we're all out of love. You can't be denied, you've got to be special. I recommended very highly, there's a little video, just goat screaming over Lara. Folks, thank God Donald Trump is a nepotistic clown. And if he does somehow manage a second term, the only good part of it will be when he and his two sons start showing up in full military garb. It's going to be like a Klaus Kinsky movie. We got to take a quick break. We'll be back in just a moment with the great Waja Hadda Lee. We'll be joined later in the show by Alison Gill of Daily Beans and Keith Price. And hour three, this is progress. Have you ever covered a carpet stain with a rug?

Mm-hmm, they've got big savings on the latest fall styles. Seriously, you'll find the brands you want at prices you'll love at Ross. Yes, for less. As you may have seen on the news footage, hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets in Israel to protest the corrupt Netanyahu government's failure to secure any kind of ceasefire for hostages deal with Hamas. There were hundreds of thousands of people on the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and other sites around the country outraged by the killing and Gaza of six hostages. Netanyahu is accused of stalling any efforts for a deal by many of the hostage families and their supporters because Netanyahu is just trying to stay out of jail at this point when he was asked on Monday whether Netanyahu was doing enough to reach an agreement. Joe Biden said simply no, more than 100, including 35 who are believed to have died or still being held in Gaza, the vast majority of them taken during the October 7th attack on Israel. But these kind of protests by Israelis against Netanyahu have given me more hope than anything I've heard a diplomat say in a long time. And I want to go to one of the smartest guys in the game. Wajahar Ali is a great daily beast columnist, public speaker, former attorney, senior fellow at the Western State Center. He has a great sub stack called the left hook. I subscribe to it. You should as well. He also co-hosted a democracy-ish podcast with the great Daniel Moody and a brand new podcast with Jen Taub for a married Trump media called a Muslim and a Jew walk into a podcast. Waj, it's so good to have you back. Thank you, sir. You always make me feel like I'm awesome with that introduction. And I just want to say that I was one of the seven people who appreciated your Klaus Kinski reference. So that I was a target audience, sir, the niche audience for you and your pop culture references. Thank you. I try to find ways to repel Boomers and Genzi at the same time. So I'm grateful to you. I mean, am I, am I being pie in the sky here? I'm under no illusions that Hamas or Netanyahu are going to become decent people anytime soon. And I'm under no illusion that, you know, real changes possible with these agents in power, but to see hundreds of thousands of Israelis who've had it with this guy and don't believe his lies anymore, it's giving me not hope for a proper two state solution at least, but maybe a hope that this ethnic cleansing we're witnessing could be coming to an close. Considering the bar is in hell, yes, you have every right to be hopeful and with the temperate expectations. I do believe the fact that 300,000 people up to 300,000 Israelis came out on the weekend and we're protesting against Netanyahu in particular. Now Hamas killed the six hostages. So the question then for your audience that doesn't follow this as well. Why were the Israelis pissed off at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu? And the reason is is because they have realized that Prime Minister Netanyahu does not care about the hostages. Then Prime Minister Netanyahu does not care about Israel or Israel security. What he cares about is maintaining power. And the reason why he cares about maintaining power is much like another person running for president. Oh, I don't know. You could fill in the blank, John, just figure it out. He is deeply unpopular. He has massive corruption charges. And if the war were to end, you would most likely resign base accountability for these criminal charges and most likely end up in jail. Does that sound familiar with anyone? I wonder, I wonder, Donald Trump, who cares so much, of course, about sacrifice in the country and national security. And so here we have what I've been saying for a long time. And I've said this before on your show. You can praise President, President Joe Biden for them. A lot of great things he's done. I think once all of a sudden and done, you look back at his legacy and be like, he accomplished a lot in four years and he propped up Barack Obama, the first black president, hopefully handed the baton to the first female black president, a point of the first black female judge. And you look at infrastructure. Yeah, yeah. All deserve praise and not but and Gaza will be his moral failure, a moral stain, much like FDR, one of the most consequential presidents of all time. And oversaw the internment of innocent Japanese Americans. You could take it all into account. And what Joe Biden has been unable to do, and I think is due to these reasons, the lack of political will on his part because they're terrified of the upcoming election, balancing the status quo. They don't want to like, you know, they don't want to rock the boat. They don't want to get attacked by Republicans or interest groups. So they stay quiet and they pressure pressure Netanyahu. But like I just said, what interest is Netanyahu who have to end this war? He doesn't. Number two, President Biden on this is stuck in the 70s where the Democratic party in the world has moved on. That just fact, folks, if you listen to him, the way he talks, gold in my ear. You know, if you don't know her, this elderly Jewish woman, who was the leader of Israel in the early 70s, right? He's just ideologically committed. He can't shift on this. 50, a lot of stuff can't shift on this. And also I think the pressure from lobbyists and interest groups. So it has them locked in. And what I've always said is if you threaten Netanyahu who is hated by Israel as a disapproval rating of 80%, one of the most loath politicians. And you say I'm for Israel and the Israeli public. I'm against Netanyahu. It gives him an opening to pressure. And this is what I think that Israelis coming out have done. They've given a little bit of space through the Biden Harris administration to say enough is enough. It's not just us saying it. Look, it's the Israelis themselves and John Israeli security officials and Israeli intelligence officials who are saying enough is enough. And I hope that's right. He uses this to push. I mean, we should also point out that Joe Biden is far more popular among the people of Israel than Benjamin Netanyahu. And he's far more popular among American Jews than Benjamin Netanyahu, which begs the question, what would be happening if there wasn't a presidential election going on right now? And do you think a Harris walls administration would be able to succeed in ways that Tony Blinken and Joe Biden couldn't? Because I mean, those guys have really been trying. I think, yes. Again, it's about political will. I can tell you and you've been in this game for a long time. People know what's happening in Palestine. People know what's happening in Gaza and the West Bank. All right, the conversation that you have behind the public. Everyone knows Republicans, though, Democrats know. And I'll share a story. I don't know if I share this with your show before. My friend who worked in the government, who I won't name, when Obama was present, they used to do something called the White House of Thar. And back in those days, it was like 50 people. So Obama used to visit every table. And my friend said, you have to help the Palestinians and Obama leaned in and says, you have to make me do the right thing, which means he knows what's up. But they want you to build up the political pressure. And I feel if you look at the growing consensus, they look at the polls. I do not think Harris is stupid. He's seeing the shift in the Democratic Party. You're seeing even at the DNC, when she did that, you know, one minute talk about her talking point about Gaza and Palestinians, what got the biggest applause line, when she mentioned Palestine, ceasefire. I was there. I was there. They've got the, yep. You heard it. I heard it from out. I'm like, whoa. And then right when I tweeted that, other folks, John, who were there at the DNC, you saw my tweet were like, he's right. There was a roar. And so you're seeing this buildup of people saying, and not just people, it's also Republican independent voters who say enough is enough ceasefire. You're seeing the family members of the Israeli hostages. For months, blaming Netanyahu or sabotaging the peace deal that Biden announced and said, hey, this is Israel's peace deal. What he was saying was wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Netanyahu, I'm giving you an opening here. And then Yahoo is the one who keeps poo pooing it. And so you saw the family members of the hostages come to America to protest Netanyahu, giving that pathetic speech that you was Congress and some of them got arrested. So the Israeli public is not supporting this war. The family members of the hostages in our supporting this war, and you're seeing a growing multiracial, multicultural base. And I feel, and this is my cynic, you know, this is a cynic in me. Nothing's going to happen until the election, which means it's going to be carte blanche for Netanyahu and the extremist government to kill as many Palestinians take as much as land. I hate, I hope I'm wrong. I don't think I am. Because like I said, folks, if you're Netanyahu and hopefully inshallah, you never are, you're sitting there thinking I got them. They can't do anything to me until November. I'm going to play this out. And hopefully, maybe, maybe Trump wins Pennsylvania and gets to 270. And then I'm good because Trump's base loves me. White Evangel Christians and the extremists are like, you know, settlers and and also Miriam Edelson, who got the Medal of Freedom, not a veteran, folks. Much better than the Medal of Honor watch much much much higher. I mean, the Medal of Honor is kind of kind of garbage for low, you know, for losers and suckers. The losers and suckers or amputees in war who get caught. F them. How about a billionaire who inherited the money because she was married to Sheldon Adelson and said, quit pro quo. Okay, Trump, I'll give you $100 million. You promised to next the West Bank. The one reason why our embassy was moved to Jerusalem is because Donald Trump made it known that he is a whore who can be bought. Donald Trump spent all of this year boasting of how much he hated electric cars, thinking that would somehow endear him to the unions that know he's a scab, and as soon as apartheid Mick Bratface shows up with a checkbook, suddenly, man, baby loves him some electrical cars because he is a whore who advertises that he can be bought. And you open, you know, there's so much that if Kamala Harris, you know, if we just did a what if if Kamala Harris, oh, I don't know, praised a violent unhinged democratic voter who tried to attack the press corps and said, that's beautiful. That's beautiful. Oh, sorry. She said in a southern accent because she turned black in Pennsylvania. Suppose you said that, you know, that's beautiful. Look, that he's one of us. What would happen? And by the way, folks, that happened a couple of days ago. It's not even leading news. Trump praised an unhinged violent dude who almost scaled defense and beat up an innocent, just press member. And he said, that's beautiful. That's beautiful. He's one of us. So we say this because he's openly done this quid pro quo. He told billionaires, hey, I'll deregulate if you give me money. What he talks about it, I would think that's huge news, John. So he's done quid procos, which is to say, right? And again, we're most of us are kind of stuck here because we're like, this is a humanitarian crisis. It's an ethnic cleansing. 40,000 people have died. Israel is not safer. The regions not safer. Palestinians are screwed. The hostages are not safer. This should end. And then you go, Joe Biden is not the right leader for this, for this particular crisis. Let's hope for Kamala Harris. And then you say, God, but if Trump was here, it would be even worse. The bar would be even lower in hell. So it's one of those situations that you have a little bit of hope. And I really do hope that let's just be honest, John, you've been around. I've been around this country at this moment cares more about Israelis and Palestinians. It just does. So when it says always says when Israelis die and they cause a ruckus, people in power pay attention. And so I'm hoping Biden Harris and you saw what Biden said, right? Just yesterday when asked, is Netanyahu doing enough? What did he say? No, no. So I'm like you. I have a smidgen of hopes, sir. It's the most we've ever seen. You know, you mentioned LBFDR, but you make me think of LBJ and how he couldn't be the greatest president of civil rights in the 20th century until he was forced into the position. Barack Obama could not endorse marriage equality until he was forced by his vice president, whoever that guy was, to actually have to take a stance. And you're right. These men in power, in a way, they, they they're powerless to lead if actual leading can compromise their ability to govern. If they're, if the people aren't ready for women to have the vote yet, a president can't call for it. The people have to demand these rights. That's been the history of this country. The people have always had to demand and fight for the rights. The rights have never been given. And I think you and I are in agreement is that the political leadership right now does not understand that the people are there. And I believe if Harris and excuse me, Biden flexed and just threatened Netanyahu, I will stop arms temporarily. You know, they're so terrified. Oh, what will the, you know, because look, in the D.C. New York circuit, it's the same incestuous group giving them the worst advice. But I believe the base, Don, will actually, this will benefit the base. This will help Harris and this will, this will give her the padding in Michigan. In my opinion, I believe the people are going to, but I think a bigger picture than just our election, what Keir Starmer has done of actually a human rights lawyer who's listening to the will of the people of the UK and saying, no more. We're still going to support you. We're not going to send you more arms shipments right now until things change because clearly starving Palestine has not gotten the hostages back, right? What that's going to mean is the effect it has on the Israeli people, isn't it? I mean, Netanyahu's not terrified that he's not going to be getting weaponry from the UK. He's terrified that the voters of Israel know this, that they know the allies are beginning to abandon the mission. It wouldn't be hard for an American president to just say, that's it. No, no, no more new weapons. We'll still support you, but you're not getting any more guns to kill people. And UK did that wink wink nudge nudge with the support and knowledge of the United States, right? So people think, well, how can we have that? Trust me, that is a power play behind the scenes power play. But I'm with you, John. I'm old enough to remember and I was going to use that example. I'm glad you did. The people weren't with marriage equality until they were until it happened, until there was bold leadership. And yes, there was like, uh, the polls and it was divided. But guess what happened? It was the right thing to do and the people came along and they rewarded the party that led and that was the Democrats. And I believe if they happen right, if it happens right now, you're on the right side of history, you end a genocide, you help people, you help Israelis, you help the conflict. And I think most people say that's leadership and that will give her the padding that is needed to win over Wisconsin, Michigan and enthuse the base. I agree. And I think conservatives respect that as well. You know, I think conservatives always wanted to respect Mitt Romney. He never had the guts to risk being unpopular and say anything they wouldn't like. They don't want, they don't want to be pander to. I think the stronger this ticket is, the more Americans will respect that, especially as they see Donald Trump flipping like a crack house mattress. I mean, what is the man's position on abortion rights this week? He said four positions in the last week. Was how are you enjoying the campaign and what do you make of the lack of conservative outrage over Donald Trump, Benghazi, fall in the graves of fallen soldiers? Because Benghazi to me is now a verb that means to blame Americans for something terrorists did without actually blaming the terrorists while exploiting slaughtered Americans as cheap political pawns in the process. I mean, they never mentioned Benghazi again after Trump was inaugurated. Never mentioned it because it didn't need those dead bodies to exploit anymore. And I saw them go back to the well, exploiting war dead to try to hurt a political opponent. But this is where I given an analogy earlier today on another show where it's like when the bully bullies the most marginalized, the most weak black women, queer people, immigrants, Muslims, everyone's like, eh, it'll be okay. Eh, it'll be okay. But then he goes a step too far. And this is Trump going a step too far and exhibiting a type of arrogant, just idiocy, like after mocking veterans and after underplaying and pretty much disparaging the medal of honor to upplay the medal of freedom, right? What does he do? He goes to Arlington Cemetery, right? To try to win over the veterans. He even F's that up, John pushes aside someone breaks federal law, puts his thumbs up and then paints himself in a corner. And this is what he does, which is just chef's kiss. Thank you for being incompetent. I have video that backs it up. Well, that's like red meat to journalists. Oh, you have video? Oh, where's the video next day? He can't. Where's the video next day? Well, where's the video? And now it has become a lingering story that has actually stuck one of the rare things that has stuck because he has disparaged one of the, you know, this third rails, you never touch the veterans, you never touch the army. And he has gone above and beyond to mock them in a way, which is so dehumanizing and uncouth, like even a child knows you go to a cemetery, forget Arlington, it's just 15 minutes away from me. So what do you know about the history of section 60? You go to any cemetery, John. What do you do? Be respectful. People are paying, you know, praying. They're there. They're remembering the dead. You just be decent. He can't even afford to be decent. And this is a campaign, I think, in spiral. Let him spiral, let him F up, let him be racist, let him be misogynist, let him piss off veterans, let him piss off women. Let us just throw all in, you, you, you made these ditches for everyone else. You're stepping in them right now. And your base is not big enough and strong enough to help you. You're so right. Watch, I got to tell you, living in New York City, it used to be people would come in and say, Hey, how do I go to the Statue of Liberty? How do I go to Macy's? I'm like, I don't know. I live here. Now all people want to do is have me take them to Trump Tower so they can take a photo of them giving the selfie to a building. That's my life as a New Yorker. Cousins and friends and ex-girlfriends come in. Where's Trump Tower? I want to give it the finger and take a picture. Like, like everyone. Can you imagine when Donald Trump shuffles off this mortal coil and is laid to rest, they're not going to bury him in any place that anyone could ever visit because you'd have nothing but people giving a thumbs up sign next to his tombstone all day. They'll be pissing on his graves. Oh, I know. And I won't because he might like it. Um, watch, before I, before I send you off into that good night, I'd be most remiss if I didn't ask if you had any thoughts. On the acolyte, which was something we all experienced this summer, something very different in Star Wars world, something that I think probably improved over the course of its run more than any Star Wars show has improved over the course of one run, um, not picked up for another season. I don't think it needed to. They did kill off most of the major characters. There's just some villains left alive that we can see somewhere else. But once again, anything of Star Wars that is not white, heterosexual and male really freaks out a certain kind of guy as a, as a guy who's as versed on sci-fi as you are on politics. What did you make of what we saw this summer? When I, when I read recently about the cancellation, um, of acolyte, I thought immediately of our conversation because in the first two, three episodes, we said, man, we just hope the show gets better. But at the same time, it pains us to criticize it because all the wrong people are criticizing it, all the racist, misogynist. And it did get better. It got actually pretty interesting. And they took bold swings in bold risks. And what did Disney do? Disney, like Harley Davidson, like Ford, like every other corporation is answering to the threatening cause of an aggrieved white minority that wants to take us back to 1952 instead of going forward in the DeLorean. And they are angry that they are allegedly being quote unquote replaced. They need to have that adrenaline hit of nostalgia of whiteness and seeing like a black woman and a black Jedi and an like an Asian Sith was too much for them. And so Disney caved. They gave season two to like mediocre shows, but to act light, they, they asked it and the lead actress, I'm forgetting her name said, yeah, I expected this, but it shows cowardice and it's rewarding the worst aspect of the fan base, much like every institution caves and rewards the worst aspect of society, which is mega.

It's great to be back. I'm John Tiegel saying, uh, so there's, there's very few people in this sphere that I'm in awe of. And one of them is Alison Gill. She famously began the Mueller. She wrote podcast while working in the Trump administration. She was fired from there and she has been a hero on so many issues from basic justice to justice for women in the military. Alison Gill has educated me so much on the Mueller. She wrote podcasts and now on the Daily Beans podcast, which I'm honored to be a part of every week. We had the great pleasure of interviewing her live at the DNC two weeks ago. And I can announce that she is going to be our special guest live on stage for the sexy liberal comedy tour date coming up this 28th of September in Phoenix, Arizona. It is a great pleasure to welcome the endlessly fetching and obnoxiously brilliant Alison Gill back to Sirius XM. Good evening, Miss Gill. Wow. After that intro, I hope I hope I do good. I hope so too. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for joining us on stage. I'm so honored that you and Dana are going to class up our, our little vaudeville act in Arizona. Thank you for coming out for the show. Is Dana coming to? Oh, I thought Dana was coming. I didn't know. I thought she was part of it. I thought she was part of the deal. If it's just you, I'll be even about that'll be delightful too. I know. I'll ask her. I'll be there for sure. Dana does your show and is one of my favorite comedians out there. And I thought she was going to be part of it. If I'm wrong about that, I'm glad you're going to be there. But you just had a show over the weekend with Olivia Troy and Peter Strzok. Yes, we did our DNC wrap up live show. It was in San Francisco at Swedish American Hall, which is the, by the way, a set for a Wes Anderson movie. So if you're listening Wes Anderson and you need a new set, go scout Swedish American Hall in San Francisco. But we had an amazing time. And we got to talk to Olivia Troy fresh off of her speech at the DNC. She was one of many Republicans who came out to endorse Harris and walls. And then of course, Pete Strzok was there who's just always funny and brilliant. And we had a, we had a wonderful time. It was great to see everybody and meet everybody there at the live show. I love live shows. There's something about that energy. Yeah, I live for it. You know, how did Olivia Troy feel about her speech? Because we're used to at these conventions. You'll, you'll have like one Republican speak maybe, and at the Republican convention, nilly Zoom, a Zell Miller, Joe Lieberman, the common trash, their old party, the Democrats really made disaffected Republicans a feature every single night. She loved it. Um, and she loved being in that atmosphere and that atmosphere of joy. Uh, and we talked about that a lot. And we also talked about how welcomed she felt, uh, by, by our tent, our big tent party, uh, after being shunned so harshly, um, from, from the party that she spent most of her life supporting. So she was like, I'm just so amazed at how kind and gracious and, and, and wonderful everybody is. And I'm like, yeah, that's what we do. You're welcome. Welcome. Please welcome, come, come to win the flavors. I, I'm so sorry that the summer is ending. I hope you've had a good one. Um, but it is nice to know that we will get a reboot of, uh, of Jack Smith coming up this fall, a superseding indictment against Donald Trump was filed by Jack Smith last week while I was on vacation, presented to a brand new grand jury. And it seems like a, a pretty brilliant strategy. They're just having the same four counts, a little less language, and they're trying to just remove acts that are based on the Supreme Court immunity decision. I mean, it seems like a smart idea. What did you make of this? And were you surprised? He did it. Um, we were kind of hoping that he would do that. Everybody was sort of putting all their, uh, you know, their, their eggs in the basket that they would have some big mini trial where hence would testify. And I, you know, Andy McCabe and I talked a little bit about that and said, he, you know, Jack Smith doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who likes to reveal his evidence and witnesses and testimony to the public ahead of trial. In fact, he's argued against it in many of his filings in both Florida and DC. He seems like an underseal, keep it under wraps, keep my witnesses safe, protect the integrity of the proceeding, uh, and, and don't taint the jury pool kind of fella. So we were sort of looking for that. But what I was really impressed by was that he took it to a new grand jury. Now, not a new, not a new grand jury, new to him, grand jury, new to this case, grand jury, because they'd been sitting for about a year, every day. Americans who had nothing to do with the previous grand jury that returned these indictments against former president Trump. Right. Cause what's going on in Manhattan right now with a 34 felony counts is Trump keeps trying to say that the evidence that was presented, in that case, some of his tweets, some of his discussions with Cassidy Hutchinson, uh, are subject to immune, those immunity evidence prohibitions that the Supreme Court, the, in their, put, you know, put forth in their fourth, in their, the fourth holding that they had, which I was surprised everyone and shocked everyone is, and is horrible. Uh, but it's more about the evidence in, in the Manhattan case and he's trying to argue, well, this grand jury and, and this Pettit jury is already tainted with this evidence that's supposed to be immune. And Alvin Bragg is saying that, look, it was harmless. It wouldn't make a difference if this evidence didn't come in. And by the way, it's all private acts evidence anyway. But to avoid all of that, Jack Smith is saying, we aren't going to use the same grand jury that indicted you for this superseding indictment because then we can make an end run around that argument. We can preclude that argument. We can stop that argument from happening where Donald Trump will inevitably say, this jury, this grand jury was tainted because it saw evidence that is supposed to be immune. And so he avoided all of that by, by paring down the charges, keeping all four, but pairing down, you know, instead of five conspiracies, there's only four now, uh, in the means and manner. And by pairing that down and then presenting all the evidence that, that wouldn't be immune to this grand jury, he completely knocks the wind out of the argument that, that the original grand jury was tainted with this immune evidence. So let me ask you, because I'm, I, I turn to you for complex legal arguments that my tiny mind can't quite grasp, but this is his attempt, it seems, the special counsel to, to, to obey the Supreme Court's presidential immunity decision without showing their cards by having an evidentiary hearing, which would be like a mini trial. He's trying to preserve his case. He's trying to move really quickly. I think the question I have, knowing that he's retaining the same four core charges, is Jack Smith just not fucking around? That's my question is that the man is not fucking around, right? Allison, that's what's everyone asking me. And I'm like, let me ask Allison Gill. This guy's not fucking around, right? Correct. He's not fucking around. And that's why he needed more time. And everybody was sort of wringing their hand saying, oh, he must be a begging Merrick Garland to, to go forward with a mini trial. And that's not what happened at all. He was, he was busy rewriting the entire indictment to get ready to represent all of his evidence to a whole new grand jury and secure a superseding indictment for the second time on the same four charges with less evidence. Let's be clear, but still lent, you've gone from a Mount Everest of evidence to a Mount Shasta of evidence. There's still a huge mountain of evidence to be able to prove these crimes. Now, there still could be an evident year hearing or a mini trial, but I think Jack Smith will probably fight against releasing too much or showing too many of his cards for what his case is going to look like because he doesn't want to give Donald Trump a leg up on preparing a defense ahead of the actual trial. Do you know what I mean? I do. I do. It's very, very exciting. I mean, what do you think will happen? It is, it, it really looks like, I mean, alien, alien cannon right in between Donald Trump's little gun assassination attempt and then nuking his campaign with J.D. Vance right in between came this and when J.D. Vance didn't give him a bump and the assassination attempt give him a bump, judge Cannon trying to make this case go away seemed like his one good hope. Jack Smith's on it. I mean, this case is not going to go away now. No, I think, you know, he's going to take it to the 11th circuit and something conspicuously missing from his appeal brief to the 11th circuit about Cannon's dismissal of the case because she dismissed the case saying Jack Smith was not funded and appointed appropriately. And, you know, Andy McCabe and I went on and said, look, title 28 of the U.S. code 509510 515 and 533, any one of those would give him the power to appoint a special counsel and bestow upon him the power to bring charges, but all four of those come into play and all four were cited in the letter that appointed him special counsel for Merrick Garland. And so when Jack Smith filed his appeal brief, sure enough, 509, 510, 515, 533, bam, bam, bam, bam, and also historically speaking, you're going to overturn like 60 years of relevant case law all the way up to the Supreme Court, including Nixon, where, I mean, how many people have tried to argue that the special counsel was appointed and funded inappropriately and have been laughed out of court and now you have this one special judge who trumps it. I don't know where we, I don't know anything about her, but she's fantastic. She goes ahead and dismisses this case. Now he hasn't asked for recusal. The 11th circuit was my next question. Like any get it, would this indictment give him a new judge or is he automatically slotted in with the same? Well, he, it depends. First of all, the 11th circuit can remove her from the case su Esponte, meaning without being asked, right, just on their own. But also you would probably want to wait until you win this appeal and then perhaps file saying, look, not only do we have this mistake that she made, but we have the mistake when she wanted to release the witness lists and we had to file a motion for reconsideration. We had the mistake with the special master where you handed her ass and vacated her stupid ruling. We have the fact that two of her senior judges gave her a call early on and said, you should step down from this case and she refused and then present all the evidence and then take it to the 11th. So I think he's waiting to see how this appeal goes before he maybe strikes out and asks for it. But as, you know, some of our friends like Glenn Kirschner have pointed out, the 11th circuit can all by themselves say, yeah, we're, we're vacating this. You can't dismiss this case and you're off the case. They can do that without Jack Smith asking. Now, I know that this is going to make Donald Trump very scared and paranoid, but at least he lives in a world where he can take a case he was already found guilty of at the state level at the Manhattan criminal case and, uh, and try to move it to become a federal case, even though he's already been found guilty at the state level. Um, how's that going? Allison Donald Trump's attempt to move his case to federal court. This is a Hail Mary, uh, and it's a really bad and stupid and sloppy one. Uh, I mean, he has, he's filed three emotions to try to get Mershan thrown off the case. He's filed multiple motions to try to get it dismissed on immunity and abandoned the appeal. He has filed, uh, now you're talking about here is his filing to try to get Helerstein to take this to federal court and, and Helerstein came back and said, we're sorry in order to do this. You've already filed to have it removed a federal court a year ago. And we told you no, and you abandoned that appeal. So you would either need to take this to the DC circuit court of appeals or you need to get my permission or D.A. Alvin Bragg's permission to file your motion to have it moved to federal court. So he goes, okay, well, can I get your permission? He goes, no, no, it was just, it was kind of like a, sir, this is a Wendy's, uh, ruling from this judge because he needed to take it to a different court and he needed to get, in order to take it to the same court as, as an amended motion. He, he, he, uh, needed to get special permissions, leave of court and, or leave of, of D.A. Alvin Bragg and, and they were like, uh, okay, well, can I? No, no, you, no, you may not. That's been thrown out. Something. Can I ask you something, the scale, because I've asked you this before. I mean, to me, it just seems obvious, but I don't know. Anything, I mean, it seems like this guy's lawyers are just bleeding him for billable hours. It seems like Donald Trump's lawyers are going to throw any, he just says, delay, delay, delay. So they'll do anything stupid to delay by a day or two or stall. But these guys are just bleeding. This man dry, aren't they? Oh, a lot of lawyers do that. Um, and he's got a whole political action committee dedicated to paying his legal bills. Um, I mean, there's. Lee, you have to, before you take money out of the Trump 47 victory fund or whatever, you know, it has to make a stop at the Save America pack before it goes down to the RNC before it goes to down ballot candidates and the Save America pack, as we know, is, is funding, is paying his legal bills. Not only that, it's paying his witnesses legal bills and it's also paying the salary for probably no show jobs for some of his witnesses, which is likely just hush money. Uh, so, and you know, Mark, Mark Meadows is, um, non-profit got a million dollar donation from the Save America pack and Mark Meadows is, uh, that, that particular organization offered Cassidy Hutchinson a really nice job before she switched lawyers. Uh, so it's, you know, all of his money goes there. And so, you know, when he's being out spent, uh, the way that he is in this election, but he's not trying to win this election with votes. He doesn't care. He's trying to win it with the lay and cheating and that kind of shit. But like Kamala Harris is giving $25 million to down ballot races because she has so much more money in the bank. Donald Trump is giving 25 million to E gene Carol three times, like Donald Trump is not the Republican party is starving for funds at the state and local level Kamala Harris just pumps 25 million into down ballot races for the Democrats, but Donald Trump and his daughter in law are funneling donor money to these lawyers who are filing these cockamamie appeals. And it seems like people on the right just aren't able to connect the dots yet and see how they're all getting ripped off. Yeah. And they're all being taken to the cleaners and a lot, a lot more are going to realize that when Donald Trump is able to sell his DJT shares and completely take all their money and walk away with it. Uh, but yeah, that, that $25 million is an incredible number in 2020. That number with the record fundraising for Joe Biden was just $6 million, uh, to down ballot races. And it didn't include the DLCC, which is the Democratic state legislature money. And it didn't include the, um, the gubernatorial association for Democrats, for Democrat, governor, Democratic governors. And it didn't include the, the Democratic association of attorneys general, uh, which is also getting, uh, quite a bit of a boost here. It's incredible, the amount of money. And that's include, and that's on top of the DCCC and the DSSC, right? The Senate and the House. That's correct. And you look at, I was going through the different states, how much money the party has on hold, Michigan Democrats are spending 55.2 million Republicans. 6.6 million. I mean, except for Pennsylvania and Georgia, where it's evenly matched, Nevada, Democrats are spending 19 and a half million. The Republicans are spending less than one and a half million. Allison, they've got a billionaire running their party and they got no money. Yeah, they don't have money and they have a really, really poor strategy. And I'll tell you what I think is going to make all the difference. That's not quite getting as much coverage as I think should is the fact that RFK Jr has trying to get off the ballot in North Carolina and Michigan. That's right. And has been told no, uh, if, if, if, if Kamala Harris wins North Carolina, she does not need Pennsylvania or Georgia. Correct. So lock this up. But if Donald Trump narrowly loses Michigan and Robert Kennedy gets, say, a thousand votes, will he use that as his claim that the election was rigged against him? It doesn't matter. He endorsed RFK Jr. He might, you know, he might come out and say, oh, the, didn't get removed from the ballots in time. Uh, he wanted to have be removed from the ballot. And it's like, well, you waited too long. It was actually Donald Trump who put off, put off the endorsement and come over to my side. They just didn't plan this very well. And poor planning does not a regular election make, but if they, because we know that when RFK Jr is put in the mix, Trump does worse against Kamala Harris, because Trump takes more votes from him than he, than he takes from, uh, or RFK Jr. Takes more votes from Trump than he does from Kamala Harris. And so just in North Carolina alone, the fact that he has to be on that ballot, their mail in ballots go out in three days. So that's right. To try to sue to get your name off the ballot on September 1st is not going to help. Uh, so he's on the ballot. He's not in the race. And if, if they lose the election because RFK Jr couldn't get his shit together and get his name off the ballot, that would just be super poetic justice. Now I personally would like to see a giant landslide and get stuff like Indiana and Kansas and Florida and we never thought we could flip, but does he Donald Trump hating RFK Jr as much as RFK Jr's family hates RFK Jr for the rest of his life? As a fan of comedy, I'd love it. I mean, I got to let you go. But before I do, what's happening in two days, Miss Gill with a certain hearing? What is happening in two days? After the Maro, September 5th, okay. Cause there's an EG Carroll hearing this week too on an EG2 appeal. But we are having a, a Judge Chuckkin hearing with Jack Smith, uh, and, and the Trump team, uh, to decide where we go now from here. Where do we go from here? Um, with, with the DC case, the coup case now that the indictment's been whittled down. Jack Smith filed his thing and said, look, I'm ready to go. I got my filings ready to go. We needed to get the immunity thing done immediately. And then we're, I'm going to leave it up to you when you want to do that judge, but I've got it right here in my hot little hands. You tell us when we'll see you on Thursday, Trump, of course, doesn't want any filings from Jack Smith until next January after inauguration day. Uh, so we'll see what, uh, Judge Chuckkin, uh, she's going to hear both sides. They're going to pitch their, uh, each of their sides to her and their timelines to her. And, uh, she'll come out with, uh, she'll come out with something probably next week, I would think everybody needs to subscribe to the daily beans podcast right now. I love Alison Gill's work. I am so honored. You're going to be joining us on stage. You and Stephanie Miller are going to blow the roof off of that place with the sexy. What is the best way for our listeners to follow you and keep up with all your work? I'm still at Mueller. She wrote everywhere. I could never shake the name. Uh, so follow me at Mueller. She wrote. And I also have a great, uh, newsletter called the breakdown where I, where I, you know, in layman's terms tell you everything that's going on with all these criminal cases. And that's Mueller. She wrote.com. It's a sub stack someday. We're going to have to use Mueller. She wrote to explain the kids what Mueller was. Alison Gill. Thank you so much for joining us on Sirius XM. It was wonderful to see you and your delightful hair. My friend, uh, stopping. We are at 866-997-4748. Thank you, Ms. Gill 866-997-Grit is our number. By the way, Phoenix, Arizona, where we're going to be playing into the month, they have reached, uh, a really terrible milestone in the climate crisis. If you haven't heard, they've just marked their one hundredth consecutive day with temperatures of 100 degrees or more. That is, that is 100 days in a row with temperatures of 100 degrees or more. Uh, but climate change is a myth. Donald Trump said so at our FK junior endorsed Donald Trump. So he must believe that we are at 866-997-4748. 866-997-Grit. Let's get back to your calls. And I thank you guys so much for your patience on hold. Paul in California on line six. Thank you. You're on Sirius XM. Hi, it's Paul. Hi, Paul. Listen, I'm calling to bring up an issue that I have not seen or heard this, uh, address is pretty serious. There's about, um, you know, it helps support of Americans to really seriously, you know, get in, get in line with our start, um, being serious about the massacre in Palestine. And that is the essentially what I see as a majority of support for how much did in October for, um, uh, instead of being opposed to it. So where I get this information is two things. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Forgive me. Forgive me. You're seeing people, American Palestinians expressing support for what Hamas did last October. Let me tell you what I've seen. Sure. Hold on. OK, what I'm seeing is an article in LA Times from January where they sent reporters on the ground in Palestine and they interviewed them. Just put Joe Palestine and they asked them when the questions was, why are you angry with Hamas? In fact, the headline was Palestinians angry with Hamas. I expected the answer to be, yeah, because what, you know, they would what they did on October 7th. Instead to to every person they asked, which is a dozen or two, the answer was, yes, we're angry with Hamas because they did not plan well enough. They did not stockpile medicine, food and water. Well, do you support what they did? Yes, we supported them. So my response to this article was, frankly, that's pretty monstrous. However, this is like, you know, one or two dozen people, maybe it's anecdotal, right? So then subsequent to that, in August, NPR came out with a story where the Muslim, a Muslim pollster published the results of polls. He was, he was, um, taking in Palestine. Two thirds of the Palestinian respondents to his questionnaire said they supported with Hamas did on October 7th. Now, to me, I understand that, you know, there's some thought about why they would do that, right? Yeah, sorry to say that a lot of thought about why they were going to hear that and say, we're just going to not be, we're going to be kind of lukewarm on this, you know, I understand the concern. Yeah, I mean, but, you know, keeping things, keeping things going the way they've been the last 50, 70 years is not working either, though, right? No, wait, wait, I don't disagree with any of that. I want the massacre to stop, but I want to throw a dose of reality into why I mean, I get it. I get it. Earlier today, say, or this evening, say, Oh, well, Biden is living the past. He's in the 70s. This is current stuff. And, you know, it's just as bad. He meant Biden's approach to the conflict. He meant Biden's. Yeah. It's just monstrous on both sides. But it's not monstrous on both sides, warm support for the Palestinians. OK, that's my say right on. And now again, we have to understand that, uh, I hate Hamas. I despise Hamas. I've hated them my whole life. I understand the kind of desperation and hopelessness that would drive and oppressed people who've lived their entire lives in an open air prison to go with the extreme conservative religious douchebags who preach violence because they haven't seen anything else work. I, I, I'm old enough to remember the Oslo Accords. And we had high hopes for Arafat and Rabin. They want a Nobel Peace Prize and they, I had high hopes for Mahmoud Abbas. I hate Hamas. I understand the helplessness that would drive people to, to support it. But regardless, I think I know. Wait, hold on just a second. I'm not arguing with any of that. I agree completely. You don't have to do that. Arguments. Right on. OK, good for for weeks, months. And I agree with it. All the pro when I'm trying to just throw a dose of reality, the image, yeah, the, the optics are terrible support. The loop, this is why there's lukewarm support for Palestinians. And that is an issue that needs to be addressed because there's a lot of reasons why there's lukewarm support for Palestinian. There's a lot. There's a lot of reasons why chiefly the chief reason is that we've all grown up in a country that says, you know, Israel good Palestine bad. And a lot of talk to young Jews under the age of 40 about this. And they're much more educated than guys my age. I know, John, I know, I've had my, I know we're agreeing, we're agreeing, we're, we're agreeing. But again, yes, listen, it's terrible optics. It's terrible and it's good. And Hamas is Hamas does not care about peace. They're like Netanyahu. They care about power. I'm so many three. I've been, I've been living this, this MIDI stuff on my life. God bless, Saudis and what they do, the oil cartel and what they did. Carter, it just, I, yeah. I'm starting on more of it. Most of them and passed on America for supporting Trump. I just, I'm getting old and cynical. Thank God for serious progress and urban. That's what I say. That's what I say all day long. But listen, you're not, you're not, you're not getting cynical. You care. You still care. You're not going to stop caring. But it is painful. It's painful to see the same thing repeated over and over again. And to see that Hamas and Netanyahu are clinging the power by keeping the hate going. Who's going to break the cycle of hatred in this holiest of parts of the country? Who's going to be the next Gandhi from either side to come forward? I want them to negotiate a peace deal and have it only be negotiated by Palestinians and Israelis under the age of 40. Because they're the ones who would have to live with the future. And I think that that's the only hope we have. I don't trust any politician over the age of 40 in Israel or Palestine to do anything on this decades ago. I used to have the hope that you and would step in and for you. So did I. Yeah, but you know, they just don't have the teeth to make things out. No, that's what the UN's supposed to do. And we've been waiting a whole lot to see that sort of thing. You know, you know, like I agree. And again, the Saudis aren't going to do anything because, you know, the Saudis, the Saudis need a bad guy in the region. So their own people won't rise up against them. Iran needs a bad guy in the region. Israel, the guys like Netanyahu need a bad guy in the region. At the end of the day, the problem is conservative, religious people in power. It doesn't matter what country you're running. If you have extreme, conservative, religious people running your country, you are going to have violence and injustice because God wants it that way. I'm sure of it. And I share your frustration. I'll repeat again. Thank you, progress and urban view for me to be able to bring me back to plus my Sunday visit to church where I try to create a clean heart to try to race all this stuff in my mind for a while. Wow. That's very healthy. I try to fake that every night. Paul, thank you so much for the call. Bless you, my friend. Have a great, great evening. I appreciate your take.

Look, I'm not saying that Lara Trump doesn't look great in her new music video. I'm not saying that the auto tune isn't really effective and I will also say that I'll say it. I'm glad she has so much free time running the RNC that she can make music videos. And it's great that she has Eric there to hold her makeup brush for her. Can you imagine being married to Lara Trump? I said, no, Eric, wait in the car, Eric, wait in the car, Eric. Can you imagine being married to Lara? Ooh, Eric, go finish your puzzle. Adults are working here, Eric, but I got to say hearing her single with a screaming goat added to the vocals, it might just be the thing. You know, look, I wasn't a fan of sampling when hip hop got big. I thought it was grave robbing. I thought, why do I want to hear a little bit of a Stevie Wonder song in a modern rap song, make your I've grown. It's like folk music. You take parts of other things to make a song greater, but having a screaming goat layered over Lara Trump's vocals. Well, folks, let's bring Keith Price in. And he's someone who knows Broadway inside and out. If anyone would know if a screaming goat improves Lara Trump's vocals, it would be the comedian, the actor, the writer, the radio star, Keith Price, the first openly gay black radio hosted Sirius XM, who co-anchored The Morning Show on the Breakthrough channel, Out Queue. Keith is a Broadway maven. You got to catch his wonderful Broadway focused Instagram. Keith Price is curtain call. Keith Price, our comedy daddy. Happy September. Welcome back. Hello, hello, hello. So I want to, I want to begin, I want to begin with Lara Trump. You know, she put out a version of Tom Petty and Jeff Lin's classic. I won't back down. And, and, and people, Tom Petty's a state told her to back down. So now she's put out another song and we play this at the top of the show. Jeremy Newberger did this. He took her music video and with very little skill, really with no talent, with no sense of timing whatsoever. He added screaming goats over Lara's vocals. And I submit to you as a Broadway maven. Keith, tell us how does this sound. Lara, take it with the goat. Without your bravery. We're all out of love. Can't be denied. You got to be special. Here's the goat. That's, that's, that's a real goat, Keith. What do you think it's the duet we didn't know we needed? What it shows to me, though, is what it shows to me is it is amazing to me how, when these people on that side of the aisle try to emulate things like make music videos, have, you know, celebrities that are going to perform at their conventions, like it always falls so short because it's so disingenuous. And that is the thing that, that just ruins it, but how do you realize that? No, no, it's, it's, it's, it's celebrity karaoke. I mean, like Lara Trump just, she's not playing clubs. She's not performing in front of audience. She's like, I think I want to record a Tom Petty song and make a video and put it out and make money. You know, she, you know, they told her she couldn't sing at the convention, right? Like you, I'm sure she said, why can't I have a duet with Kid Rock? Why? I, I've reached that level of evidence. I should be able to have a duet with Kid Rock if I want. But it's just it's someone who it's, it's, it's, it's like Charles Foster Kane buying an opera house for his girlfriend to be a big star. She's just using stepdad's money or father-in-law's money and fame to launch a totally uninspiring recording career. It's kind of beautiful. You know, it's like, it's just as bad as one of the housewives of Atlanta, you know, doing their, don't be, what was her name, Kim, with the don't get party for the party, you know, it's like it, it, it is again, the most disingenuous piece of art ever. And that's what that to me is really truly the, the, at the essence is like, if they were really doing it because it actually had meaning to them, it would have a whole different response or a whole different thing. But it doesn't have any meaning to them. It's just like you said, it's part of the grift. It's part of the, the package of, of them getting whatever they can squeeze out of this election, like right towards the end. And, you know, God bless them. Just, I feel like at this point to pay any more attention to her, to give her any more oxygen considering, considering, you know, considering what's the counterpoint? A counterpoint, guys, I don't, I don't see anybody from, I don't see anybody from the Harris Waltz campaign, singing a beautiful tribute song to firefighters. Okay. So maybe let's wait for November to see where things shake out because this could be a, they're not. Yeah. I don't see anyone on the Harris Waltz campaign pandering the firefighters to try to launch a side gig. I just don't. I mean, I mean, I saw JD Vance get booed by firefighters the other day. Oh, porn, porn for the angels, porn for the angels. Are you getting rid of every chance I get, you know, I'm living for. I love the comparisons of how when they show him next to walls and the different responses that they get from different people, it's just, it is apparent to me that on a much more local scale, maybe people are getting it. Maybe people are really, like I said, they're really are not letting certain things happen and go by without any commentary because at this point now, you know, there's like you said earlier, there's, there really isn't a choice choice at this point for people who are still weighing, quote, unquote, the facts and weighing issues and doing the real research. Like there, there's a lot of choices left, but not really, like, let's be for real. And so, you know, that's what we're focusing on. Are you enjoying, are you, are you enjoying Harris and walls? I love it. I love it all. I love it because it's, it's a formula that even as racist and as misogynistic as America can be, you can't deny at work. Let me, let me, let me, let me play a quick. Here's, here's, we got to go, we got to get some callers, but I've been dying to talk about it with you ever since the convention. This is a quick clip of Tim walls over the weekend being extremely, extremely good at this sort of thing. Give a listen to put this guy on Fox. I said for years, Ed Sheltz was the guy who could reach middle America, conservative white people and talk their language. I think Bernie can do it. I think Elizabeth Warren can do it. How her dean could do it. I don't know if anyone does it as well as governor walls. Give a listen. This guy has made it clear how he stands. He's sitting down at Mar-a-Lago after he got elected president. And this was his exact quote. He's talking to a bunch of folks at Mar-a-Lago. You're rich as hell and we're going to give you a tax cut. At the same time he was telling workers, they get paid too much already. That's who this guy is. You tell me who in Wisconsin is setting around saying, damn, I wish they'd give billionaires tax cuts and screw me over. Damn, I wish they'd take my health care away. I wish they'd under fund my public school. I wish they would make my job more difficult, more dangerous. And then at the end of the day, I wish they'd make me work till I'm 75 years old. No one's saying that. No one's asking for that agenda. What they're asking for is to be treated fairly with dignity. That's what we have. Guys, good, Keith. Guys, good. Boom. And, and again, as I have said before in the past, on several occasions, I'm sure on this show that the message is going to have to come from someone like this, Mr. Wall. You have said it, yeah. Because no, they will not pay attention. They're not listening to those of us who have been saying it for the last, you know, 40, 50 plus years. They're not going to, they don't care. Those folks don't care, but they are going to be moved by this man who not only has demonstrated that he is a kind human being in terms of his relationship as a father, his relationship to the world as a teacher, his relationship that he has as the military, like he's proven on all of those levels that all of these people who would have their issues would be checking off on the box. Like he's checking these boxes for them. And it's you're going to be it's going to be harder and harder for them to deny his logic as time goes on either because he is speaking to them just the way they need to be spoken to. He's like, listen to me. I'm telling you how how can you see this stuff and think that that's OK? How do you kind of see that and think it's going to be good for you. And he's helping them see that. So, you know, I mean, if that's what we got to do, then that's what we got to do. But in the interim, you know, I'm saying in the interim, at least it's going to be part of a change that we really need to have happen. And if that's going to be what needs to happen to push it over the line, then let's just push it over the line and see what happens. I'd rather be figure out what this was, what this Harris walls for years would look like. I would rather figure what those four years would look like then go back to what we know is going to happen with the with the Trump. That's right. Thank you. Thank you. You're right. I keep saying, look, we don't really pick a president. We pick what we want to watch for the next four years. We're Americans. We can be honest. We pick the reality show we want to watch the next four years. I say, do you want to watch a shitty rerun of something you already saw with lying to you during a plague and the or do you want to vote for something brand new? Because here's the thing, if we vote for Harris walls, then you know, you're either for Donald Trump to go to the White House or the courthouse. So if over Harris walls is a vote, Kate, for three brand new, true crime courtroom reality shows, we all get to binge starring Donald Trump next year. And I am so ready for the Jack, the Jack Smith federal trial and the classified documents trial and the special down in Georgia. It's going to be a great year for Donald Trump legal series. Well, you know, and knowing him, he's going to figure out a way to mark it on that. You know what I'm saying like so good for him. But but at the same time, it's like, you know, America is like, there's not really more of an answer because the thing is, at least with the Harris walls, presidency, if you get mad at the end of those four years, at least you'll be able to vote and change it. If you get involved with this foolishness, with this crazy man, because, you know, you are all about abortion. If you, you know, you sign on to all of that crazy and then wonder why nothing is ever going to change for you, then go ahead. Keep it up. Yeah, the confederate say, those are some of my mother used to say the hardhead makes a soft behind. So go ahead, knock yourself out, knock yourselves out. I say the hardworking confederate white people will always be suckered into fighting the plantation owners battles for them always. Let's go to the phones. We have a lot of people been on hold forever. Cassinia in Utah on line eight. Thank you so much for waiting. I hope I'm saying your name right. Hi, Cassinia Cassinia hello Cassinia in Utah. Do we have hello? I'm on mute on mute Cassinia. Hi. Oh, hi. You sound. Yes, I hear you. Hello, welcome. Hi, I'm I'm just calling because my face, my, I said, I'm I'm I'm atheist. But you're breaking up a lot love. You're atheist, but go ahead. Hello, I'm sorry, that's OK. I'm losing, I'm losing like three quarters of your words. Maybe I don't believe in God anymore. I know I believe in God until this call. Cassinia, go to another quarter of the room and let's see if you get a better second, I'm I'm sorry. I'm from Sony toss, so we don't have. Oh, that's OK. We have the if you're an atheist in Utah, you're what we call a unicorn. Welcome. Yes, I'm deceiving me the same terminology about my faith wavering about my faith in what the progressives are encouraging me to do right now. Tell me what your how is your faith wavering? Tell me how your faith wavering. Well, I've been a I've been a progressive since 2015 when I realized that Bernie is what I believe in the most. And so I've been fighting for that forever. And I'm not really I don't believe in the Democrats because of what happened with the convention in 2016. What happened with the convention in 2016? Well, there was a civil war between Bernie and Hillary. There was no, no, there wasn't a civil war. Hillary got more votes and Bernie endorsed her and did over a hundred campaign appearance. Bernie did over one hundred. Bernie did more appearances for Hillary Clinton than Hillary Clinton did for Barack Obama. He campaigned hard for her. But do you remember the fallout afterwards? There was a lot of supporters who were very angry about what happened with it. I remember they were very angry about it. I was very angry, but I also acknowledged that this was the Democratic party and it was a miracle Bernie did as well as he did. But Hillary got more votes. I'd never had a tantrum about it. I was mad. My guy lost. I think Hillary had chosen Bernie as her running mate. She would have won instead of him Kane, but she got more votes love. There was it wasn't take it wasn't stolen from him. But the DNC was trying to make sure that Hillary would win. They were very biased towards Hillary Clinton. I agree, but she still got the most votes. They were very biased towards her. They're always biased towards a front runner. They're terrified of a guy like Bernie who promises real reform, but she still got the most votes. Well, this is why I can't be a Democrat, though, because there's a lot of people like me who are very very upset with the DNC because of what happened to Hillary and Bernie, but again, she got the most votes. Why are you upset about it eight years later? Bernie, Bernie endorsed her and campaigned for her. You're too, you're too nice to let Republicans win. Well, I'm not a Democrat for several. I'm not either. I've never. Listen, I've never been a Democrat. I've never been a Democrat in my life. But I wouldn't think of voting for another party. I have a friend who is very very attached to the idea of voting for Jill Stein because she stands for what he believes more than Kamala. In what state? In what state? In Utah? In Utah? Yes. OK, he's down here in for the Utah with me. And I wanted to be like all the Democrats who are trying to say to me that you need to vote for Kamala because you're throwing away your vote if you vote third party. But you know, you know, that's only true in a swing state. Listen, if you're in a safe red state or a safe blue state, vote how you want. Your single vote won't matter too much. I've had Jill Stein on this show a few times. I voted for the Green Party in the past. It was men voting for Jill Stein in 2016. Many of them Bernie supporters, men who don't have uteruses. In swing states who were too pure to compromise their values and vote for a candidate like Hillary Clinton. Those men are the reason that women have had rights taken away by Donald Trump's Supreme Court. Women are bleeding out in hospital parking lots in all these red states. The infant mortality rate has gone up eight percent in Texas because they're forcing women to give birth to babies that have no chance of survival because doctors are terrified to terminate these pregnancies. And this is happening because a few Bernie supporting guys in swing states were too pure to vote for Hillary. And that's why women have lost abortion rights at the federal level in this country. I don't blame Jill Stein voters who voted in safe blue or red states. So you vote how you want in Utah. But just know doing it that a vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Republicans to do better. Do you think that if we didn't have the electoral college and the popular vote is elected our president, you would feel the same way about that. Yeah, I do because the Democratic Party has won the vote of the American people in seven of the last eight presidential elections, seven of the last eight. I mean, except for 2004, 20 years ago, where Bush cheated. But except for that one, the American people have chosen the pro choice candidate, the pro environment candidate. And you know, Democrats are never going to lead. We the people have to lead and force the Democrats to get better. Bernie was a great moment in that. And the reason why you've got Tim Walz as vice president now is because of the work Bernie did eight years ago, because people are more ready for a real progressive who actually works on a policy level to help people in a state. It's an incremental boring game. I know, but I wouldn't vote for Jill Stein in a swing state. But you do what you want now. And you talk now is that I really didn't feel great about voting for Hillary in 2016. But I did it because everyone's pressuring me. Did you feel great about? Did you feel great voting against Donald Trump? Did you feel good voting against him? Because that's what you did. Well, yes, but I could have voted for the Green Party. And then, you know, it wouldn't have mattered anyway, because I'm in a state of red shape. And right now, I'm going to the Green Party. I'm willing to go Kamala saying that she's not willing to change any, any, any, anything with Israel and Gaza. She did that. Yeah, but you also know, but you also know, she has to say that. She feels she has to say that in this election. You know that there's a very good chance that her administration may be more effective. There's a very good chance that her administration might be willing to do what the British Prime Minister just did this week. But you know what happens if Donald Trump becomes president? A hundred times worse for Palestinian people than if it's Kamala Harris. Donald Trump will put on a cheerleader mini skirt and he will bring pom poms and he will cheer for every civilian in Palestine that is blown up or starved to death. He will revel in it and he will take personal delight in Netanyahu murdering these people. That's what happens if Donald Trump gets in again. Counterpoint, and then you'll send your video. She's saying it's just it's just a hypothetical that Trump will do anything worse than what the Biden administration is right now. But right now, they're actually sending billions of dollars of weapons to Israel. Yeah, Trump will be worse. Trump will be worse. What they're doing, Donald Trump has encouraged Russia to invade our NATO allies. Donald Trump wants to pull all American support out of Ukraine so Putin's troops can murder and rape those people and make that country cease to exist. That's what Trump wants to do. Go ahead, Chris. Counterpoint, all right, just suits several counterpoints. One, it is easy to have a radical, very popular left-wing platform when you know that you're never ever going to win. And Joe Stein's platform really only focuses on like there's like two things like like Israel and Ukraine are the only countries that she seems to think are like enemies that need to be stopped because nothing about it by Russia. She's being funded by Russia. But that being said, Cassini, in 2020, Utah, 37.7 percent is what the Joe Biden there, the vote was in Utah. That was the highest percentage of any Democratic candidate going back to 2000. So that was the highest. That was the best Democrats ever done in Utah in the in this century. And they still got creamed by 20 points. So vote for whoever makes you feel good. Vote your conscience. It's OK. Vote your conscience. You don't have to be a part of this. You can say, do you want to jump in on this, Keith? Well, again, we could go on and on and on. That's the electoral college system sucks, blah, blah, blah. But in the end, you got to take you got to take the whole package and look at it as closely as you can. And if that is the reason why you cannot decide to vote for one particular party or the other, then you have to own that and don't whine about it. And you have to own that. And then in the face of your quote unquote opposition, don't feel guilty about it. Because in the end, you got to take responsibility for the fact that with the things that you already know about how our system works, with the fact that you know that when you vote down ticket in one particular avenue, you're giving more power to the people that are doing things and you don't want the Democrats to have more power or you don't want the Republicans have more power. Like we all know how that is affected. Yeah. And so if we choose to ignore that at this particular time, when we see exactly how crucial it will be, I mean, you know, think back to when we were on the verge of passing all those great moments in terms of of legislation and we got blocked because of cinema and magic and think about the things that we could have had accomplished in those those four years with those particular things at the helm and moving forward and we had it blocked because people were choosing to not move forward with the thinking all the way and let it happen. Like again, let us go forward and see what this change would look like. And if we don't like it, we can at least change it back. If we go in this other direction, we're not going to have the ability to do that. You're not going to have the ability to vote for a Jill Stein if Trump becomes president ever again. You're not going to have the opportunity to play the RFK junior game again because of what this man is planning on doing and how they're planning on doing it. Like again, as as intelligent as you want to sound about your choices and what you feel about particular issues, please take a moment and look at what the bigger picture is. It's like all of that conversation that we were talking about with her and the Bernie Sanders issue and what was going on with the Democratic Party, which was, of course, very shady on so many levels. We, I get it, whatever, but if he really he got she got the most votes. It sucked, I'm just saying that in the end, some of the explanations that people were talking about, I mean, if you really look at it, it's like, all right, yeah, they were kind of pushing in that direction. But at the same time, but at the same time, it's because of what the aftermath of what could have happened when those people are there. Like, you know, you would not you would not have lost abortion. We would not have been fighting to deal with voting rights. We wouldn't we wouldn't be dealing with all of this foolishness with all these states, making all these laws and trying to change it, you know, we would not have had to deal with that if people would have decided to vote, not their conscience, but you know, vote their vote with what they actually know the knowledge versus their passion and recognize what the big picture was. But what do I know, I, I, I, I, I. Good for you. Because, I thank you very much for the call. I do want to get to some of our other callers because people have been on hold for like 19 hours tonight. Guys, when we get to you, please make your joke or your point or your question as fast as possible because Keith Price is a busy man. Keith, are you ready for a lightning round? Let's do it, baby. I'm not kidding. I, when we get to your call, y'all make your point really quick. I got no time. Richie in LA. Welcome. You're on with Keith. We're signing the thing about that. He's not there anymore. He just hung up. That's what I meant to say. OK, Brian in California on line six, you're on with Keith. Hello. Hello. It was Brian, but I'll go with that. Go ahead, Brian. Thank you. I have a theory of, yeah, I have a theory about the destination here. Uh, liking you to, uh, seen in Chautier Redemption, where the guy is lured outside, the young guy, because he knows that Ukraine has that really murdered person, he's been accused of murdering. So the, right, warden comes outside, right? He comes outside, he asks, can you put your hand on a good book and da da da da? And he goes, yeah, just give me that chance there. That's what I was afraid of. He looked up at the light and the, uh, the guard up there then shoots him dead. Now he was lured outside, lured to do this, right? And taken advantage of it, taken out of the equation. So that the frame would not be released from jail and he wouldn't have to, you know, use him as he's been using him for doing tactics all over. But that being said, go to this destination, right? The destination is done. There's no way in hell somebody that wouldn't sign up for our PC will put himself in the position to be shot at and potentially shot at from afar. That doesn't register. This guy was a deferred for five times. So what else happened? What does this mean? That means that he knew he wasn't being shot at. So that means that he was somebody had to be shot to justify him being shot at. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, here we go. Yeah. So here we go. So here we go. We're never going to know this person that right. Check this out. Trump never criticized the Secret Service again to get him killed. There's something. That's right. Never once. All a plot was all applied and the Secret Service people. Here it goes. The crazy part that nobody was going to really going to accept the Secret Service was one of them shot that guy, the fireman. No, they were supposed to be there right there. No, wait a minute. Wait a minute. We always use we always do. Secret Service murdered the Secret Service murdered this guy in the stands. I, I, I, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, John. But listen, I appreciate the sentiment. Believe me, I appreciate the sentiment. Go ahead. We always let our decency get the best of us. Don't want to think of what's right there. If you want to point it out, listen, this guy has to stop that. There's something to him not ever criticizing them. There's something to them not having to talk to support. He makes a good point to you. That person I was. You're going to be asking that person that was the leader of the Secret Service. They suddenly got dismissed when people started asking questions. But before then, everything was pulled in the gang. And we understand this. This person I was at the shooter, he couldn't fire a, they freaking rubber van off of his damn finger. Now they knew this guy was up on the roof. Nobody stopped him. Two sets of people, three or four sets of regular people, they hear somebody's up on the stage. Nobody said shit, nobody did shit. They let him know he was in position and people were telling the local cops. There were people at the rally telling local cops about this kid. So you're right, but are you saying that this kid never? Are you saying this kid on the roof never got off a single shot? Never got a single shot. Here's the thing, they took him out the same way they took out the guy in the movie because they didn't want him to speak. OK, he's a Patsy. All right, man, this theory is not going to go away. I got a run, but I thank you for the call, Keith. I don't think these conspiracy theories are going to go away about this because Donald Trump won't release a damn hospital report. Of course he won't because he knows he knows that it's a fake. That's the thing. You know, I keep saying this before it's like we keep trying to give him this pass of, oh, he's still a human being. And it's like it's not working, y'all. Like he is proven time upon time upon time to be a deceitful piece of garbage. And we are still encouraging him and still letting him speak and still letting him travel. He's got 34 indictments, waiting on him. He's got all this stuff go. So like, you know, what have this Keith Price, how do our listeners and assorted riffraff follow you and keep up with all your many comedic doings? They can follow me at comedy daddy on Twitter and Keith Price comic.com. And then also check out lately what I've just put up on Spotify. I got my press junket. I went to for the new play that's coming a Broadway called Yellow Face with David Day Kim as the lead or Daniel Day Kim, excuse me, as the lead and a couple of other fabulous people, including the director. And it's a new play by David Henry Wong, who, you know, did M. Butterfly and Chinglish and all these other really great plays. It's like thrice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. It'd be great. And they were amazing. And so all of those are up. My TikToks, the whole thing. You can go peruse and enjoy looking at Daniel Day Kim, the way I did. That is one beautiful hunter man, honey. Oh, I thought I met him. I've interviewed him as a very, very attractive gentleman. Let's go back to the phones to our evil army of the night. Hello to Mitch and Ken State, Mitch on line one. What's up, Mitch? You're on the team. Sorry, Keith, John, how you guys doing? Hi. How are you? Sorry to start my delay there. John, first of all, I will hope that you and Beach boy on Jardine enjoyed your day today, by the way. Thank you very much. Happy birthday to the great Al Jardine and Kitty Carlisle Hart as well. What's on your mind tonight, Mitch? John, first of all, thank you Isaac Hayes for finally giving Trump the shaft. You know, right on. Oh, look at you. You were ready. He was ready to have it. Damn right. Oh, shut your mouth, man. He's talking about the shaft. Thank you, Chris. That's why I got my attention. Anyway, and well, if I get back, these artists that are, you know, are giving him the finger, I love it because I tell you what you want. Say to Neil Young to Stevie Wonder. I love it because they speak for me. Those people speak for me and I love their tone. They're speaking what I want to say. And now they're doing it. It's just beautiful, just beautiful thing. You know, about the third party thing, Ralph Nader, I mean, my God, right? We're the Al Gore, if Ralph Nader wasn't there. I mean, yes, if Ralph Nader had told people in Florida about the Democratic nominee, there wouldn't have been a rack war. Exactly. So, you know, the third party thing, it's a, it's a, it's a, you know, it's just I don't know. I can see, I can see you have the independent people that, you know, on certain issues and that's, that's their thing. But my God, you know, I know the two party system is it's old and tired. But what else do we have? What else do we have? And so, you know, I, you have to go to flow, but it's, it's all we got for now. But, you know, I just, you're not any other thing like they say, you're not maybe your vote isn't. Maybe you're all 100% in on the on that candidate, but consider the alternative. I hear you, man. I hate when Mitch is right, but sometimes Mitch is right. Well, I'm not going to argue. You know, the thing is we don't have a choice now. It's sort of like I feel like our hands are tied. I mean, I guess like the lady in Utah, I can understand how she feels like she's being forced in a certain way, but I feel like we're now just all being forced to go into a direction that is actually really going to be better for many. But here's what I said to so many people like, like, like, people didn't vote for Joe Biden, they voted against Trumpism. And it wasn't about like who's going to vote for Biden or Trump this year. It's voting to keep Trumpism out. That's no knock on Biden. But again, the majority of us don't want him. And we've told everyone that in 2016 and 2020, we're going to tell them that again this year and let's make sure the Electoral College comes along for the party. Keith, you're the best at what you do. Thank you for joining us. I love I wish you a very good evening, but you seemed to already be there. And I want to thank Alison Gill. I want to thank all of our guests tonight. Wajahara Lee, the great Chris Hausselt, the great Thea Harper. I'm Fuiglesangan. It's so nice to be back. We will be here tomorrow and every night for the rest of the week. It's so good vacation's done. God squad, Bob Sesca and Tracy Pierce in tomorrow's 62 days till the election. Peace.
