• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Old people like weather, they like weather coverage. Yeah, I know,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. So other voices considered, we just happen to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: have some audio and thoughts and little many topics to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: get to that have no relationship to each other. We
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: will bounce up and down between the frivolous and the serious,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and this, that and the other. Let's start with Bill Maher.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Was it a clip ten Michael that we haven't gotten to.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Did you see the debate? And in case you missed it,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: don't worry. So did one of the contestants. I mean,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Trump told lie after lie after lie. He never would
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: have gotten away with that if Joe Biden was there.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, Oh Joe, Joe. You know Joe, he famously
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: loves trains, but apparently not of thought.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Wow. They just keep telling.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: It's just all night, confused and halting and trailing off.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I've seen beauty patcheant contestants answer questions better.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Playing that's true.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe some US Americans don't have maps. So
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: let's stick with politics for just a moment. Oh, coming up,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the infamous Marjorie Taylor Green tweet. If you haven't heard
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: about this, this is Jack. Would you like to describe
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the Katie Britt clip.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: First of all, you might not know who she is.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: She is a senator from which of your Southern States,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter. But she was being hailed as like really
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: short list VP possibility for Donald Trump. She's a Republican,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: she's cute, she's smart, she's a conservative. She has that
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: happy warrior thing going. And that's why she was picked
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: to give the response to the State of the Union address,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: which is a death sentence and everybody should recognize that.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: It is ruinedy one knows it.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: It has ruined so many careers. But anyway, she was
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: horrible on that thing. But here is she is being
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: charming yesterday, So some liberal activist catches her in the hallway,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: pretends she's a fan and wants a selfie, then hits
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: her with a gotcha question, or so the liberal activist thinks.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: And I just thought this was worth playing because Katie
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Britt handled it so well, And the lib activist posted
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: on their website like, got her naileder folder? Oh hah,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I mean the expression on her face was like, ah,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: isn't that great? Okay, Well, do you see how it
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: played out? Listen to it here twenty five Hi, I'm
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: here at the congressman. I was wondering how much money
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I would take to buy you back from big oil.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: From Big Oil. Yeah, oh, and.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: You look at how dishonest that was.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: You ask if you could take a sefie selfie and
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I were asking questions and tell me, what is it?
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: What do you think that big oil? Talk to me
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: about that? I think that the climate crisis is hearing
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: getting worse, and you're being funded by the people who
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: are making that happen. Listen, we've got to be not
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: only energy independent, but energy dominant. We do a better
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: than we lead back and she was getting gotten an
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: elevator and left, but I thought she handled that really well.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Oh look at you. You're being dishonest. You pretended you
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: wanted selfie and you wanted to ask me a question. Okay,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: so what is it do you think needs to happen
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: with the big Oil? I thought that was great.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I actually have some great stuff on that very
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: question that we just haven't gotten to during the radio
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: show because Slash Podcast because of the whole Biden deterioration story,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: but we will probably later on this week. The long
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and short of it is that with all of the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: trillions of dollars invested in green energy, they everybody the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: world is using more fossil fuel than we were a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: few years ago. Because the economies are growing and there
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: are more people and more energy. It's not like we
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: had enough energy for everybody to do what they wanted
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to do around the globe. So if you add to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the energy supply, it just grows economies and they use
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: even more energy. So the idea that we're cutting out
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: on fossil cutting out fossil fuels, in some way, it's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: just it's fictional. But more on that another time. A
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: couple of straight thoughts on Katie britt As we're leading
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: up to playing that, I was thinking, you know, she's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: still got a future. Yeah, she floundered on the response
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to the State of the Union. It was pretty terrible
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and weird and off putting. But come on, now, that's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: behind us is bride and blah blah blah.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: It was terrible, weird and off putting. But as a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: couple of guys who've been terrible, weird and off putting
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: a number of times and are still in the business,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: it can happen. You bounce back. But then I.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Thought, well, wait a minute, why am I looking at
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: her purely through the lens of like national politics or
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the presidency or advice presidency, if she's an effective senator,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: if she's a mayor, if she's a governor. With me,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of all people, thinking the only thing that matters is
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: if you got a shot at the White House, it's
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: just so wrong. I apologize for thinking that even behind
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the scenes. Friends, I apologize one more political note before
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: we end with a charming real life bit of audio
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Michael Overre leading up to the fifteen But so Marjorie
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Taylor Green I guess. On July fourth, tweeted that the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: here it is the average age of the signers of
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the Declaration of Independence on July fourth, seventeen seventy six,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: was forty four years old, but more than a dozen
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: worth thirty five or younger. She wrote, then listed eight
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: names and ages Thomas Jefferson thirty three, John Hancock thirty nine,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: James Madison twenty five, Alexander Hamilton twenty one, James Monroe eighteen,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Aaron Burr twenty, Paul Revere forty one, Hamilton twenty one,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Madison twenty five. That's amazing those shouldn't they been living
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in their parents' basement complaining about how they can't find
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a job. And finally, George Washington forty four. Well, the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: only problem with that tweet, as the good folks on
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Twitter I've refused to call it X pointed out, is
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: six of the eight people listed did not sign the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence at all, including Madison, Hamilton Monroe, Burr Revere,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and George Washington. Other than that, it's a pretty good,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: pretty good tweet, let's see. And the responses were rather funny,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: as they can be on Twitter. I probably don't agree
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: with a lot of the people on politics, you responded,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: but in the final signature was applied by Ben Franklin,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: who was president of the time. How did you forget
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan and Ronald Reagan. Let's see, somebody
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: somebody used a I to uh have a Tyrannosaurus rex
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in Independence Hall and said, fun fact, one of the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: signers was a literal dinosaur and I have the picture
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: to prove it. And and does everyone know it?
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Michael are you? Are you okay?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I'm okay, all right, I'm okay, You're okay. Finally, this
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: at charming, yo, lad, I saw I saw responses to that,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: but I didn't know what the original was.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: So now that makes sense. The tweet I saw it,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: said other people that signed the declaration depends on it
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: was Captain kirnk. You know well, and this one's pretty good.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Not only did MTG list six people who didn't sign
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the declaration, she conveniently left out that Nicholas Cage stole it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: That made me laugh, didn't hassle off. I don't know
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: why I found that funny, but it did. And everyone
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: knows it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Everyone knows it.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Does our final charming pole a clip needn't set up there, Michael,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: in your opinion, that's not mine? Actually, oh it's not.

  Speaker 4: Yes, it is this white father and son fishing, which
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: a young black man was hanging out with them, and
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: it was kind of a nice little heartwarming moment.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Let you have this Poe take.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Every young man should have one. It's my favorite colors.

• 10:25
  Speaker 2: have moments like that every single day.

  Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah.

  Speaker 4: Yeah, And especially in the world where everybody's trying to
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: make everything racist and whatnot.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: You know, these these two kids saw none of that.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: They were just fishing, right exactly.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well that's nice. Give a man a pole
• 10:44

• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I could do that really dark joke that I've
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: laughed at many times.

  Speaker 1: Oh, what an unfortunate end of the podcast that would be.

  Speaker 1: you know, I could riff on myself, but uh, but
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you gotta pay it off now.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Teach a man to build a fire and he'll be
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: warm for the night. Set a man on fire, and
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: he'll scream for the rest of his life. Good lord,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: that's the worst thing I've ever heard. No, I thought
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I thought it was he'll be warm for the rest
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: of his life. See, it's a much more subtle implication.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I like my version, but oh my god, that is horrible.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, who says that? Yeah, I know, Michael,
• 11:39
