Speaker 1 (00:00):
If you want to talk about this BarackObama video that
he put out.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I love that Barrocco, remember him? Yeah? Why does that
name sound familiar? That guy president? What is Obama doing
a video on Casus Wells?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Proposition fifty is a thing in California. It's about redistricting.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Here we go, California. The whole nation is counting on you.
Democracy is on the ballot November fourth. Republicans want to
steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election
and wield unchecked power for two more years. For Prop fifty,
you can stop Republicans in their tracks. Prop fifty puts
our elections back on a level plane if you preserves
(00:41):
independent redistricting over the long term and lets the people
decide for turn your ballot today? Oh yes, on fifteen?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Does Obama have any juice anymore?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Would people listen to him?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Well, you know, we played that clip yesterday of him
on that WTF podcast, and and then I actually heard
I think it was Tony Kennett last night on his
show was out and about uh, you know what my
daughter did yesterday? No, she distracted her poor grandmother. She
made a mess. I think she did this deliberately. This
is where the little tyrant thing comes in. The kid like,
(01:14):
this kid is smart. Yeah, she distracts her grandmother, makes
a mess. Grandma's picking up the mess, and then she
proceeds to find the one crown that is still hidden
in her room and she takes it and turns into
Picasso all over the walls. This is like in a
minute's worth the time. Oh yeah, and it's orange, right, Oh,
it's just a it's a disaster. So I had to
go to the store and get those white Oh you
(01:38):
know what I'm talking about, your magic eraser.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
And that was when I started watching the John Candy
documentary because I was like, okay, I got to clean
this thing.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yeah I thought you were exaggerating earlier, but yeah, drawing
on the.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Wall, Oh yeah, it was.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
It was. It was a very time because of me.
And then my favorite part is my sweet wife, who
I love so much. She's sitting there the whole time.
I'm sweeping. Like I've told her, I said, man, this
house is just a dumpster fire. I gotta get it
picked up. And she sees me sweeping, and then she
sees me using the like I'm clearly like she knows
what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
She's right in front of me.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
And then as I get done and she can clearly
see I have now cleaned all the walls.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
She goes, did you need any help?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
An hour ago.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
She waits till you're almost done.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Oh, you're working on something anyway. I don't even know
why I got off on that. Where were we talking about? Obama?
How did that remind you of?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Your daughter? Comes in at the last minute?
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I think I just wanted to bitch about that.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
I don't think that was I don't even know exactly
why I got off on that, but.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I'm glad for all here to help you.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Point point being. Uh we played this clip? Oh, I
was I know why Kennett talking about it.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
He played this.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
He was talking about this clip on on the on
the uh, the Tony Kennett cast. And Obama looks so
old in this clip, and he looks so depressed and
like his legs are crossed and his arms are crossed.
And so my question is, does Obama still does he
used to be He used to be able to bark
(03:15):
and people would would move on command. Does anybody now
do what he says?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Possibly in California?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
But I think when he was ushering Joe Biden off
stage at that one rally they had.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
It wasn't George Clooney there or something.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I think that's when people saw, really saw that he's.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Not being fourthright with everything.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Yeah, so I don't look with this. The reality is
everybody screwing their constituents. Texas screwing their constituents, California screwing
their constituents, Missouri screwing their constituents, North Carolina about to
screw their constituents, Indiana maybe screwing their constituents.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
All of these people are rotten.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
However, if we're gonna go to who started it, if
we're gonna, you know, act like we're ten years old again,
Texas started it. California is simply responding to Texas.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Correct, and they would be a wash because if Texas
picks up five Republican seats in California picks up five
Democrat seats, were even right.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
So, however, the hypocrisy has been on full display. Where
when Schwartzeneer was governor, California forms this election commission by
will of the voters, and their job is to draw
these maps.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
And by all.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Accounts, everybody thought they operated pretty well in the state
of California. I'm not saying we don't look at them
and go, oh, that's kind of squirrely, but the people
who live there seem pretty okay with these maps, and
they came by. I wish Carl was here, Carl Tony's
producer out on paternity leave, and he could speak more
eloquently to this, because he lived in California for so
many years. But now they're like, they're doing the same
(04:55):
thing Indiana's doing.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well. Yeah, our maps were quote unquote fair.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
We liked them, but now we got to rig them
a little further because well, Texas did something, Well, how
does that benefit anyone in California.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
In California the maps, they have California Citizens Redistricting Commission,
which drew the.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Maps in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
They did it, I believe in twenty thirteen and possibly
in eight as well, and they're not supposed to be
redone until twenty thirty.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Elections should not be partisan exercises in terms of how
the government administers them. The job is to draw the
maps properly, fairly, in a just and right fashion for
the state in which you live, taking out the political
ramifications and then let the politicians go win the elections.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Based on their governance.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
All these states are doing are bailing out bad governance.
All these states are doing is saying we can't win,
whether it's California or what's being proposed here in Indiana,
different parties, same thing, we can't win based on our governance.
So instead we're we're going to just rig the thing
in our favor so that we don't get held to
account and.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
In fact, we get rewarded for the bad governments.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
And if all of these states continue on with the redistricting,
like Texas and Missouri, Florida, potentially Ohio here in Indiana
and the Democrat or the blue leaning states do it,
the Democrats could potentially lose up to nineteen seats.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, and is that what you want?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
My question to you, if you're driving down the road
right now, is what have the Republicans done for you
that you say my life will be better? They control
everything right now. Let's say they get nineteen seats. They
already have control of the government. They can do anything
they want to do right now. What's going on in
Washington will be just as broken with nineteen more Republicans
(06:53):
in the House of Representatives. There's not one thing that's
going to change because Washington itself is broken. Government is broken. Look,
this is not even the shutdown. Is it even a
conversation about the House of Representatives. They passed their budget
weeks ago. It wouldn't matter if there were nineteen more Republicans.
Unless those nineteen Republicans are gonna be on some reconnaissance
(07:13):
mission where they're going to kidnap Democrats in the Senate,
you're still gonna have the same problems. So I don't
see any sort of justification to rig our maps further
to reward bad Republicans. Now, of course they're I guess
Republicans in good standing because you can not vote and
adhere to the party platform.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And that's fine.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
But then if you point that out to people and go, hey,
we should probably find somebody who will be more Republican
than the Republican, then you're not a Republican in good standing.
But why why would I have been over backwards for
these people?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
If you vote present, does that keep you in good standing?
It must
