So to be clear, Mr. Trump has no financial relationships with any Russian oligarchs. That's what he said. That's what I said. That's obviously what our position is. I'm not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn't have and I have communications with the Russians. What do I have to get involved with Putin for?
Starting point is 00:01:34 I have nothing to do with Putin. I've never spoken to him. I don't know anything about a mother than he will respect me. Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. So it is political. You're a communist! No, Mr. Green. Communism is just a red herring.

And finally, thank you for all the GitWell wishes and emergency kittens and pod dogs and pod cat pictures. Yeah, the eye bleach as they call it. Yes, thank you. And by the way, that thing I posted about elephants thinking humans are cute like puppies is unproven. So keeping it real. I'm going to keep hope alive for that one. That legit made my day. I was like, that
Starting point is 00:05:43 is the best feeling. Yeah, fake or not. You're not saying a sad day, elephant scroll through Instagrams of humans. That one's... It's a little better about them, so they're like, like, got damn big fingers. I got a little better. And then like, the fucking,
Starting point is 00:05:56 holy rave of them now, elephants are like, only stupid humans with their own Instagrams. Fuck. Yes. And they're like this, yeah. Elephants putting clothes on their humans. Oh yeah, I can see that.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I'm tired of that shit. All right, guys, house keeping out of the way. So we have a lot of news to get to. So let's hit the hot notes. Hot notes. All right, guys, let's kick this off with Jolissa. What do you have for us on the elections in Israel? Yes. So on this week's edition of Fast Just Do The Darned Dis things,
Starting point is 00:06:25 we learned today that Netanyahu, his party, placed 1,200 hitting cameras in polling stations on election day to quote, lower the voter turnout to under 50%, which is the lowest it's been in recent years. Way to bring down the vibe, Jules. I know, Debbie Downer over here. So his PR firm was even bragging about it on Facebook. The head of the firm posted, quote,
Starting point is 00:06:48 after a long preparation period, an amazing logistical base and deep and close partnership with the best people in the Kud, we put together an operation that contributed crucially to one of the most important achievements to the right wing block, keeping the Arab vote legal. Apparently, as soon as the cameras were discovered by voters, there were confrontations and riots, some even halting the voting process that's in polling places. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Yeah. That's fucked up. It's pretty flat out racist. Wow. Yeah, according to an Arab majority leader, quote, the situation cost fear among many voters who were afraid to get to the polling sites, which was the intention of LeCouge and the camera operators so they got what they wanted they scared people away kind of like the census issue we have here in America yeah yeah I said like way more blatant a little camera yeah camera
Starting point is 00:07:37 you face yeah candy camera in fact earlier today the PR smile you're on Arab camera action picture comes out you know we need a theme song for if I've been pumped in fact earlier today we're just trying to cope with it I don't blame you a g the PR company published a Facebook post along with a picture of the firms executive standing with me tonight
Starting point is 00:07:59 not nintendo and the caption said thank you to the 1300 field operators who were present at polls throughout the country from the smallest villages to the largest Arab cities Oh my god. Apparently though these cameras were only placed in Arab communities. Yeah, of course. Yeah, because they're saying probably like Hamas sympathizers live there and stuff. Yeah, yeah, totally Another Arab leader said now it's official the Lecude, and I'm sorry I'm pronouncing that wrong, L-I-K-U-D, Lecud maybe, tried to lower the Arab turnout throughout illegal means, hitting cameras,
Starting point is 00:08:31 monitoring and voter suppression. This is what delegitimization of a fifth of a fifth of the citizenry looks like. What started out as unleashed racist incitement continued in the nation-state law and could end with a transfer government and revoking rights. So powerful stuff, little hard to read, but basically people are pissed off and they're just calling it as they see it. This is straight up voter suppression and it's like you said Jordan to the
Starting point is 00:08:57 extreme power and not to mention that on election day in 2015 the same leader of the PR firm was beyond or behind a film showing left-wing activists as traders who would end up hanged and they used anti-Semitic stereotypes in the film. So it seems like these guys clearly have raised-based political motives to discourage Arabs from voting and the election. As a result of this, many Arab organizations have found urgent complaints at the Central Elections Committee. So we'll just have to see if that, you know, goes anywhere really. But, yeah, I mean, he's, he's currently under investigation for corruption
Starting point is 00:09:31 and would not be surprised if that's another thing that he'll interfere in. Yeah, yeah. Shame on already has, like you said, that's so messed up. It would have been so surprising though if he didn't win. Yeah, I mean, it's like, obviously, yeah, we should have, I guess it was to be assumed that he was going to do some really sketchy stuff like this. And that's really good. Oh, cool, yeah, the food. Yeah, thank you for the party.
Starting point is 00:09:56 The Israeli party. I appreciate that. Yeah, but you're totally right, Jordan, like this is, I wouldn't put it past him. This is expected, you know, but it just sucks that he's being so blatant. And I wonder how it'll affect the actual results. I don't think they past him. Like this is expected, you know, but it just sucks that he's being so blatant. And I wonder how it'll affect the actual results. I don't think they received them yet, right?
Starting point is 00:10:08 If I'm not mistaken. I saw that his like main opposition conceded defeat. I thought that I saw that. Yeah, he did concede. Oh, interesting. Yeah. Jeez, Louise. How do you, that's so, Israel's like,
Starting point is 00:10:23 yeah, and if we have any listeners in Israel, can you like email us and let us know what your perspective is? Yeah, we actually yeah, we get another email from the Israeli journalist that we had we read their email before yeah I Could I didn't prepare well enough? We get a lot of emails, but yeah, we can definitely bring it up again Yeah, we'll see what she says. Absolutely, yeah. Yeah. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Kicking off with some racism. Wonderful. Yeah. And it didn't, I think, better or work recently came out and just said Netanyahu is a racist and some people freaked out and said, the Democrats need to get their anti-Semitism under control. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, coming from the administration, the guy who puts Hitler books on his bedside, but okay. And then that can't is so. I'm not sure if I'm going to have to do something. I'm not going to have to do something. I'm not going to have to do something.
Starting point is 00:11:06 I'm not going to have to do something. I'm not going to have to do something. I'm not going to have to do something. I'm not going to have to do something. I'm not going to have to do something. I'm not going to have to do something. I'm not going to have to do something. I'm not going to have to do something.
Starting point is 00:11:22 I'm not going to have to do something. I'm not going to have to do something. I'm not going to have to do something. a globalist and then that's when it went bad. You know someone made a meme where they replaced the image of that clip with a Mola Shrewd icon and made it seem like Ted Leo was playing Mola Shrewd for her. Oh, yes, I saw that. They put it in our Facebook group. Yeah, it's amazing. See that, that's awesome. Yeah, we gotta share it.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Okay, yeah, we totally, and our dad look on her face, she's all, oh, fuck, I'm fucked. I love technology in these day and ages. I know, you can't get away from anything and that's good. A lot of transparency going around. All right, Jordan, we're playing all the hits commercial free and come up now Free in a row by Devin Nunes means it's time for a newness rock block. Oh, yeah on Monday new cool-aid person was my first Oh, yeah Oh
Starting point is 00:12:00 Newness Newtons filed a $150 million defamation lawsuit. This is a separate lawsuit. He filed it against the Maclatchee company and a Virginia communications consultant in a Virginia circuit court. The person that was wrapped up in this recent lawsuit is her name is Liz Mayer. She's also listed in the lawsuit that he brought against Devin Cow in Twitter, not long other accounts. He wants a story. So basically what the basis of this lawsuit is, is he wants a story that was published about his investments into the Alpha Omega
Starting point is 00:12:38 winery to be erased from the internet entirely because they were reporting on the the yacht cocaine prostitute which is now a trending hashtag on Twitter which are seriously the only three cool things about this guy like it's so funny that they're pumping that and it's like that you know yes yeah so his issue he's saying I only like was peripherally investing sort of in this winery and you can't prove any of the, you know, the connections that you're trying to make between me and this party was defamation and clearly only had the intentions of slandering me and this is unacceptable. And if you don't remember, there was this yacht party that had Hashtag, a yacht cocaine prostitutes on it. And I guess it's the boat host.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Yeah. And so this was like a, it was supposed to be a charity yacht event. Don't those things just go hand-on-hand, just selflessness and yachts. That's what I think of. I think of nonprofits. And we always have yacht parties.
Starting point is 00:13:41 We have yacht parties every week from Mollershi Road. When you donate money to us, we give some of it to swing left and then we have a yacht party to celebrate. Yeah, we don't even use like ocean water, just we just like float on money. Yes, float on our ocean of cash. Yes, only aquafina, kerrys are yacht. Money goes straight under the yacht. But, money goes straight under the yacht. Brostitute urine. Nice.
Starting point is 00:14:06 And so, some of these people that were huge investors in this winery that were on the boat were allegedly doing cocaine and were planning and plotting activities with sex workers, some of which seemed to be underage and unable to even consent. And this all came from testimony by a worker who was providing refreshments and what not. Okay, not to work. So yeah, so Nunez is like upset that he's being associated with that and he went on Hannity and he was like, if you're out there and you lied and you defamed, we are going
Starting point is 00:14:39 to come after you, which makes us sound like if Liam Neeson was not a badass, that's what that is. Who heard my feelings? I will find you and I will kill you. I am deaf in yourness. He's the worst. And so the complete that he filed on Monday also, it basically served to frame mayor's criticism of Nunez. And the Fresno, there was the Fresno B was a publication, one of the many publications
Starting point is 00:15:12 involved that he has issues with. This was the frame they're reporting on at Yacht Party. And then also Maclatchee's promotion of the piece across a bunch of its publications, basically. And he said that it was a nefarious plot to interfere with Nunez's congressional investigation of corruption by the Clinton campaign and alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia
Starting point is 00:15:33 during the 2016 presidential election. So of course, he has to tie the salon with his other trolling efforts or else it wouldn't be Devon Nunez. And Nunez lawyers, they tried to prove that they were trying to smear Nunez on Twitter by bolding words like cocaine and Devon and woman. This is one of the things that his lawyers argue.
Starting point is 00:15:52 They're like, they're unfairly really trying to get them on these certain catch phrases. They're even bolding them. But Twitter doesn't do that. They don't even have that function to embolden the words. What happens is when you search certain terms, the search results that it gives you automatically bold.
Starting point is 00:16:10 There are no words that you were searching for. So those were the screenshots in another episode of Republicans can't take. And they're searching for all tweets that have woman and cocaine in them. And then when they see it, it says, Devon and cocaine and women are bold. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those.
Starting point is 00:16:27 I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those.
Starting point is 00:16:35 I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those.
Starting point is 00:16:43 I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying to show those. I'm just trying great one day. Mr. Primalist loves his act. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. He's just dulling him out like left and right.
Starting point is 00:16:48 And he also fun fact, the bitch never even submitted a formal complaint for a request for a correction to the publication either. Of course not. So the actual Fresno B. No, of course not. It's just a little pitch. OK.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Well, thank you for that Nunez Patrick. All right, so today we learned from the Wall Street Journal that the Southern District of New York actually questioned both Hope Hicks and Trump Bodyguard Keith Schiller about the Cohen Trump AMI catching kill hush money porn star payoff extravaganza. They apparently were asking Hope Hicks about whether she helped coordinate any of the payoffs
Starting point is 00:17:24 and about her contacts with David Pecker and her involvement with American Media Inc. This is big because it means the investigation was not solely reliant on the testimony of one Michael Cohen, the totally unreliable liar. Wall Street Journal is also reporting that the prosecutors have recorded phone call between Cohen and the lawyer who represented Daniels and McDougal. I'm assuming they're talking about one Keith Davidson. And remember we had put beans on the fact that they were probably working in koutes and we knew Keith Davidson is under investigation as well. The Southern District of New York also questioned Keith
Starting point is 00:17:57 Schiller, Trump's bodyguard about the hush money payoffs, likely because of his close proximity physically to the president. So that all makes sense with the timeline, but again, the big payoff here is that it's not just Michael Cohen providing testimony against individual one and AMI in this case. And that will be huge for any future indictments or trials that may result from the catch and kill investigation, which could include the Trump organization and its officers, Weiselberg, who was offered limited immunity and the Trump crotch fruit. My guess here, and these are beans, is that they wouldn't have given a non-proscution agreement to AMI and partial immunity to Weiselberg if they weren't planning on bringing charges, unless of course their evidence does not rise to the level of criminality needed to indict the kids, but that's a lot of people to let off the hook for nothing.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Right. So you're saying strategically if they were doing that, it would be in the goal of getting an indictment out. Correct. And then if they hit a roadblock were doing that it would be in the goal of getting an indictment out correct And then if they hit a roadblock or something Yeah, that'd be the only thing. Yeah totally So That's that Jalisa what did we learn about?
Starting point is 00:18:55 This is frightening. Yeah, I've got all the sad stories Sorry, I gave you all the shit burgers. It's all good. What did we learn about the state election systems in 2016? I gave you all the shit burgers. It's all good. What did we learn about the state election systems in 2016? Yeah, so this week the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have issued a joint intelligence bulletin or jib Which makes me think of jib? This joint bulletin was addressed to state and local authorities regarding the Russian hacking during the 2016 US elections And while this jib contained mostly information that has already been made public It is the first official confirmation that the Russian hacking efforts went far beyond the previous reported 21 states.
Starting point is 00:19:30 In fact, the bulletin states said the Russians orchestrated hacking efforts in all 50 states. Yeah, specifically, the bulletin says... All 57 states. All 57, yeah, in all three Mexico's. Yeah. We put cameras up in the Mexico state. That's right, yes. And Puerto Rico. Man, the world in all three Mexico's. Yeah. We put cameras up on the Mexico's days. That's right, yes. And Puerto Rico.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Man, the world is so sad right now. Puerto Rico is one of the Mexico's. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's the fourth, like Tito. No, no. So, the Bulletsin says, Tito Jackson or Tito Puente. That's a good question. I was thinking Jackson, but hey, good distinction.
Starting point is 00:20:03 The Bulletsin says Russian cyber actors in the summer of 2016 conducted online research and Renaissance, oh, Ricanasons. Oh, Ricanasons, that's an interesting word. That's like Rican, okay, okay. Yeah, like saying it like you said it a lot more though. Ricanasons. Ricanasons, man. Yeah, they did this to identify a vulnerable databases,
Starting point is 00:20:25 usernames, and passwords, and web pages of a broader number of state and local websites that previously identified, bringing the number of states known to be researched by Russian actors to greater than 40, despite gaps in our data where some states appear to be untouched by Russian activities. We have moderate confidence that Russian actors likely conducted at least reconnaissance against all US states based on the method, I am butchering this method methodical. Methodical.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Method man. Method man. They're making a new how high. That's totally unrelated but interesting. Yeah. This newly available information corroborates our previous assessment and enhances our understanding of the scale and scope of Russian operatives to understand and exploit state and local election networks. So all that being said because of this, the DHS and the FBI are focusing vigorously on
Starting point is 00:21:13 protecting the legitimacy of the 2020 election. However, their cybersecurity division only has a budget of $33 million, which I'm pretty sure used to be $120 million. I think we reported on that, but then we also reported that they slashed the department and slashed their budget. I don't know if it was part of the budget, but it was 120 million specifically to fight election fraud. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:21:32 So this is for cyber terrorism. Yeah, yeah. That could be a different budget. That's a good point. But either way, the team is optimistic that the people will soon catch on to how serious this shit on and start advocating for them to receive more money. So they're just hoping within some information that people will be like, you know, don't let this go. They hacked all the states.
Starting point is 00:21:49 This is a big deal. We need more money. Yeah. All the states. All of them. How are the United States? Mm-hmm. So this is attempted or successful?
Starting point is 00:22:01 No, they have targeted. They have targeted. Yeah, targeted. Yeah, yeah. So there's traces of them hacking certain things more directly and then attempting to get into others. So they were only successful, I think, and I said over 40 of them, but the rest of them, they have evidence that they were at least trying to get it.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Yeah. Okay, sorry, I missed that. Yeah, that's not working. Awful. It's crazy. Yep. Wish I had more punchlines. 2020.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Yeah. That's good. Voting numbers too big to manipulate. Yeah. We need cyber walls. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, fuck that border wall. Cyber border security.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Cyber wall. Yeah. We've got the money for it. Yes. Seriously. God damn it. It's so fucked up. It is.
Starting point is 00:22:40 I know. It's awful. I don't know. I think I actually said. Yeah. No worries. Back to you guys. All right. I know. It's awful. I don't know. I think you're Jolissa. Yeah. No worries. Back to you guys.
Starting point is 00:22:48 All right. All right, Jordan. So Jim Baker, one of the original Comey 5. That's the name of the 5 dudes Comey shared his contemporaneous notes with about his trump meetings, all of which were fired, resigned, retired or otherwise shat upon. But Baker's testimony transcript was released, right? It had some really interesting things in it. Would you find out?
Starting point is 00:23:04 Yeah, definitely. So a couple main points came out of that and are in the news cycle today. One of them is he, apparently in the House Judiciary Committee, he told them back in October that two of Trump's own cabinet members were open to invoking the 25th Amendment. And this was according to Rosenstein. So the 25th Amendment, just for context,
Starting point is 00:23:26 provides, I don't know, most of you know this, but provides procedures for removing the president when he is quote, unable, he, or she, or they, is one day quote, unable to discharge the powers and duties of his or her or theirs office. And quote, so basically it's a this motherfucker is insane. Get them out right now, please. Baker is currently under criminal investigation for leaking to the press also. That's a good thing just to know about him. But Republicans decided to release these transcripts on Tuesday and Doug Collins did this. And it's part of a recent string of Republicans entering their transcripts back into the record from their investigation into the handling of FBI's Russia probe. So that was one of the, that to me, I think that's probably the biggest revelation. That's pretty intense. We also learned that it was apparently Andrew McCabe who told him that he had heard from Rosenstein
Starting point is 00:24:29 That he that Rosenstein was the one who was willing to wear the wire and that was very much not a joke That's the second biggest revelation that comes from this today I think and it's remember it was circulated. There was that completely Ridiculously chaotic news day that was like Rosas. I was gonna wear a wire. Oh wait.ated, there was that completely ridiculously chaotic news day, that was like, Rose, I was gonna wear a wire. Oh wait, no, he was, there was just a joke. Oh wait, and everyone's all over the place in the news. And it was just,
Starting point is 00:24:52 Now it's confirmed that it was no joke. What's other? Yes, or at least as far as Jim Baker's testimony went. So yeah, and this is how the exchange went. The question was, and what happened after, okay, I'm sorry. So Baker said, to the best of my recollection, McCabe told me that the deputy attorney general said that he had at least two members of the cabinet who were ready to invoke the 25th Amendment,
Starting point is 00:25:15 and then rep asks, and what happened after that during that conversation? Did Mr. McCabe tell you anything else? And Baker said, I'm sure he told me other things in that conversation. But it was in part both of those things that were related to me with other information with respect to what the DAG was going through at the time and how he was thinking about his involvement in the firing of director Comey and how he was thinking about proceeding after that.
Starting point is 00:25:42 And then they asked him to people tell you that the DAG was upset. Baker says, yes. Then he's asked, did they tell you that he was making jokes? And he said, no. And then they said, did they tell you that? And he said, this was not a joking sort of time. This was pretty dark. And so this all happens around that conversation about the wire as well. So main takeaway being very, very serious concern about obstruction. And as it relates to the
Starting point is 00:26:04 firing of James Comey, that spread across his cabinet, Trump's cabinet itself, and Rosenstein, that is now confirmed in on the record, the congressional record. Oh, yeah. Well, thank you, Jordan. Thanks. Yeah. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Sorry about that. I was just news after news after news is just pouring in right now. Oh, yeah. Got some sabotage. Oh, yes, we definitely do. But first, let's talk about Justice Edge Lorde Supreme, Bill Barr. So he's been in public hearings the past couple of days, and a lot of questions have been raised about exactly what kind of watered down Nadi Light version of the Mueller report he's going to release to Congress. First, we know that he's going to redact in four areas including green jury material under rule 6E, then shit he thinks is confidential like sources and methods trade craft and
Starting point is 00:26:51 uncharged third parties, and then shit he thinks might embarrass the President, and then any other sentences with more than eight words in it. Just kidding on that last part, but am I? And I have questions specifically about the uncharged third parties. He says it's DOJ policy to keep their names private so that their reputations don't get ruined, but he probably says ruined. But what he must mean is Uncharged People Trump likes whose reputation they don't want to ruin because they had no problem going public about Uncharged Hillary Clinton, but she's not a third party, you say? Okay, how about Uncharted and Ima Cave,
Starting point is 00:27:25 or Uncharted Peter Struck and Lisa Page, or Uncharted Jim Baker, or Gattis, or Bodich, or Jim Comey? How about all those Uncharted folks who shit the DOJ was fine with releasing? And were there we have reputations ruined? Well, let's see. Comey was fired. Gattis and Bodich retired.
Starting point is 00:27:41 McCabe was fired a day before he earned his pension. Jim Baker was shoved into a boiler room in the basement of human resources without his swing line stapler. Struck and page are political punching bags. Just stop with a bullshit excuses and release the fucking report. And as far as 6E grant jury material,
Starting point is 00:27:57 he says he won't request for it to be released to Congress without a judicial process in place according to Rule 6E, which means the Democrats would have to open an impeachment inquiry into Trump to be able to request them fine. Even though that hasn't been required before, in some cases, but I say go ahead, open an impeachment inquiry. You don't have to actually move forward with impeachment, just have some preliminary judicial hearing to decide if you're going to impeach him, and then make a decision based on whether or not what's in the grand jury material is enough to get 20 Republican senators to agree to take out the trash when it
Starting point is 00:28:27 comes down to a vote. And today, Barr said in his hearing that he thinks the Department of Justice was spying on the Trump campaign. Good. They didn't spy hard enough if you asked me. It was a clear cow towing to Trump and his supporters to further the deep state conspiracy assholes. Everybody knows that if the FBI wanted to fuck Trump in the campaign hall, all they had to do was leak that he was under investigation, but they did not. Then he said he spoke to Mueller about obstruction. Barr said he spoke to Mueller about obstruction, but doesn't have any idea whether Mueller punted on obstruction and wouldn't say whether or not Mueller wanted Congress to take up
Starting point is 00:29:02 the matter. As we know, Dems are now requesting all communications on the matter, and I sincerely hope they get it because the stonewalling shit will not stand. And what the hell is Barr's endgame anyways? You're trying to get a spot on the Supreme Court? Like, what the fuck is he doing? For the stars. People are like, well, his kids got jobs.
Starting point is 00:29:20 And like, yeah, it's a Trump administration for how long are his kids going to have jobs? Good point, yeah. It. There's something, maybe Trump how long are his kids gonna have jobs. Good point. Yeah. There's something maybe maybe Trump's got some on him. I've considered that because I can't think of anything else that will be beneficial to him when Trump is gone. I know. Maybe it was part of the Kennedy deal.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Oh yeah. Justice Kennedy. Don't you want to loan? There's got to be so much more there. Hey, I'll have to maybe Kavanaugh that maybe he's ski. Oh, I know he or he's a P or he's a PJ and squee. Squee. Yeah, sorry.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Skies are what you drink. Squee is what you boof. Oh yeah, I bet Kavanaugh knows all about that. And then there's Mueller. And it was reported today he's leaving the department of justice in the coming days. And will once again be a private citizen. Hey, baby.
Starting point is 00:30:00 He's asked. He's been asked to testify to Congress. So this weekend, we're going to record an episode with a segment just for Mueller. So if you know him, let him know. It's all the things we want to ask him. And I think it'll be a good one. So tune in. And we got a lot of last minute news here, guys.
Starting point is 00:30:16 So I'm sorry, I'm usurping a lot of the time here. But breaking news from a few minutes ago, Bezos will meet with Southern District of New York as soon as this week on extortion and Saudi hacking claims. Fuck yeah. And prosecutors can go wherever this leads. This is the Southern District of New York as soon as this week on extortion and Saudi hacking claims. Oh, yeah. And prosecutors can go wherever this leads. This is the Southern District of New York. Gavin DeBecker says he has heart evidence. The Saudis could be indicted in this.
Starting point is 00:30:33 This means this meeting signals that the US Attorney's office in Southern District is escalating its probe into Bezos' suggestion that the Saudis were behind the inquire story that threatened to make public racy text messages, Bezos sent to his then-lamistress, Lauren Sanchez. So put some beans on those AMI-pecker-houred indictments as well. And in related breaking news, Washington Post is just now reporting that the national inquire is expected to be sold imminently. And according to the Post, the decision to sell came after a guy who manages the hedge fund whose firm controls american media ink uh... became quote disgusted with the inquires reporting tactics begging the question so you were cool with headlines like
Starting point is 00:31:17 Gordon Ramsay sex dwarf eaten by badger or sadam and osama adopt shaved ape baby i read that or sadam and osama adopt shaved ape baby all right that i regret that one and of course who could for the at the old chestnut dick cheney is a robot although that last one is quite believable and finally uh... treasury secretary manuchin had until today to respond to the demand for
Starting point is 00:31:41 trumps taxes and just a bit ago he responded saying he won't meet the deadline and questions the ways and means committee's congressional investigative authority saying quote, the committee's request raises serious questions and issues concerning a constitutional scope of congressional investigative authority, the legitimacy of the asserted legislative purpose, and the constitutional rights of American citizens. The president also said Tuesday he has no obligation to release his tax returns because he's under audit, but the IRS commissioner has said
Starting point is 00:32:08 anyone can release their tax returns even if they're under audit, so fuck off. And this just in, just floating across my desk, they are expected to indict Greg Craig. Oh, yes. Democratic lobby. I don't know about that. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:21 I don't know. And we talked about him at the live show. They expected those, so we could make it to expected if we can make it to Saturday whoever goes first I think it's great car yeah yeah is keeping charge for having two first names finally yeah two first names so see Republicans were all for also getting the Democrats that fucked up so it is now 37 Republicans in Russia's versus two Russians versus one Democrat. Oh, just one, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:32:46 For now, you got one. Have them. The deep state, it's all balanced. Oh, all right, you guys, that's all the news, that's the hits, all the hits and more. That was a good one. Yeah, I liked that. I wanna thank you guys again for everything

Starting point is 00:34:06 Apparently, he got into a lawsuit with a photographer of that Obama picture, though. And that was kind of a bummer to know that he didn't. I don't want to slander him here, but I'm pretty sure he kind of didn't do right by the guy, the dude that did the original photo. Because the whole Hopo-Bomber thing, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Yeah. He didn't take that photo, right? He took it from someone. And then all this money off of the graphic he created. Fun fact.

Starting point is 00:38:46 For the past four years, we've been making history in critical elections all over the country. And last year, we made history again by expanding our majority in the Senate, eating election denying Republicans and crucial state house races, and fighting back a non-existent red wave. But the Maga Republicans who plotted and pardoned the attempted overthrow of our government now control the house. Thanks to gerrymandered maps and repressive anti-voter laws. And the chaotic spectacle we've already seen shows us just how far they will go to seize power, dismantle our government, and take away our freedoms.
Starting point is 00:39:26 So, the official podcast of the persistence is back with season 4. There's so much more important work ahead of us to fight for equity, justice, and our very democracy itself. We'll take you behind the lines and inside the rooms where it happens, with strategy and inspiration from progressive change makers all over the country. And we'll dig deep into the weekly news that matters most and what you can do about it, with messaging and communications expert, co-founder of Way to Win, and our new co-host, Jennifer Fernandez-Ancona.
