The other thing you need is a backup hard drive, Cliff. Mine has saved me more than once when the pixel gods punish me.

There has to be something wrong with that quote from obama.I recall a misquote from back in the day when it was said that obama called a police officer stupid and he did no such thing.He said the police officer stupidly dot dot dotThere has to be something wrong with that quote from Obama. I recall a misquote from back in the day when it was said that Obama called a police officer stupid and he did no such thing. He said the police officer stupidly… and that is not saying the officer was stupid. That quote, I had heard on n p r. So that wasn't fox.

Oh, please - Cliff Schecter is "chatting" with "former" Republican Joe Walsh. You don't really think either of them are going to bother with knowing what they're talking about, do you? Are you new to this planet?

Was there more to Obama quote. Maybe only a small portion of his quote was sent out!

Cliff Schecter's avatar

Possibly. Or misquoted? That’s why I pulled back from my initial reaction

Axomamma's avatar

Yeah, instead of KNOWING WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT BEFOREHAND.

Nah, that's for suckers. Just like talking to actual Democrats is for suckers.

Go drink some more tequila. Maybe you'll be more coherent.

Would like to see a citation for the Obama quote. Couldn't find anything for the last 10 years reflecting that sentiment.

Cliff Schecter's avatar

As I said on the show I didn’t see it, so I calmed myself. My initial reaction was bc of some D leaders failing the moment.

I’ll have to ask Joe, I can’t find it either

I thought I was on paid 💁‍♀️ I’ll go back and check. No worries on the tech stuff, it happens to all of us.

I agree that the Democrat Establishment is not feeling the urgency with the rest of America and I am concerned about that. Also, absolutely correct that the USA needs to take care of business at home first and foremost. You can’t role model to the world when you have the problems we have. And I too think BB is a major problem but there are many. I think every damn subsidy needs to be stopped immediately and reassessed. We should not fund Israel’s assault on other peoples nor should we help the flippin’ Saudi’s or anyone else in their nefarious dealings. We need to fix this place first.

The legislature should already have all their basic paperwork done and waiting for laws that need firming up, previously known as norms but also have their plans ready for impeachment, including at least 3 if not 6 Supremes and the president and his cabinet of crooked actors.

We need to be dying Heritage Foundation over Project 2025 as well as whatever it takes to shut down the federalist Society compliments of Koch. And yes! Peter Thiel and Musk and the rest of the tech bros need to be dealt with severely for what they have done to our economy. They all belong in prison. We need to claw back every penny of unauthorized money expended by Trump et al and start taking care of the people who actually provided that money in the first place. The Jan 6 group and all the bullshit pardons need to be reversed. Thiel and Musk need their citizenship revoked and blocked from being in the US. And…lest we forget…get a gid damn policy for immigration and close every one of those detention centers NOW.

As for Mike Sherill, I really want to give her a chance but that state police move really hurt her! She better have a chat with them about priorities. Good thought provoking show. I too admire and respect Obama but I share the frustration with establishment. Thanks!

Hi Liz! From what I’m seeing you’re not paid, but we’d love to have you! You’d be getting in right before we add a bunch of features just for paid subs: a weekly strategy memo, A more smaller, more intimate live, etc.

Glad you agree on the lack of urgency, we need to create more of it! You are right on in your analysis of this too. Also, yes, the US needs to get its house in order. Thanks! - Cliff

In any case, here’s an easy link to become a paid subscriber! https://www.blueamp.co/subscribe

Thanks for your support!!

All dictators who abuse their citizens are guilty and evil.

Cliff Schecter's avatar

Couldn’t agree more. We should be talking about ALL of them

That arch in front our White House looks like a McDonald’s (literally) that has gone MAGA❗️

I’ve confirmed my thoughts 💭 Let’s tear it all down and START OVER❗️

Omg that’s hideous

I’m pretty sure that WE the taxpayers will foot the bill.

No time to spell check 🤣

I can’t find any reference to what Joe claims Obama said. Is it possibly misquoted or misattributed? Or AI? That should be clarified. Makes no sense compared to everything he has said. Joe should come back and give a source b/c that’s a very provocative statement and would be devastating if real. Personally, I don’t believe it.

Cliff, was so glad to hear how much you enjoyed Italy and Sicily (only to have your holiday zen ruined by the computer nonsense!) We go to Sicily almost every year and Cefalu is our favorite place to swim in the Mediterranean and enjoy the beach. My cousins, only discovered in 2017, live in Marsala on the west coast in the province of Trapani. We'll be there in mid-September. I have to agree that Sicily is like heaven on earth. Dolce far niente!

Claire from Arlington VA's avatar

Take a look at my profile pic. I'm eating pizza in that main square in Cefalu down in front of the Cathedral.

Cliff Schecter's avatar

Love it! If you’r’e looking down from the steps of the cathedral towards where you were eating, to your left next to the cathedral on the other side of the street is my fave restaurant in Cefalu/one of my faves in the world

Claire from Arlington VA's avatar

Ooh, what's the name? We'll be back there in September!

Was thinking that with your blue eyes, you could have been mistaken for a Sicilian. My mom had blue-green eyes, my brother and sister have blue eyes. As you know, Sicily was conquered by everyone including the kitchen sink.

Cliff you are completely wrong. The democrat you are talking about is not a friend of terrorists. You are talking absolute rubbish. I'm Irish and was sick to death of having to apologise for the IRA. If people went to neighbour's funeral, and the neighbour turned out to be in the IRA I was implicated by association. You have fallen hook line and sinker and are smearing someone who is a brilliant candidate. He is decorated veteran, a medic and should not be smeared with your nonsense. And yes, Israel is committing slow genecide. So goodbye

Axomamma's avatar

Yeah, nah. Joe fucking Walsh? I am relatively new here, so I don't know how long you've been playing footsies with the same fucking people who brought us to where we are, but I have zero interest in listening to two drunk assholes. Are there no "lefties" or "progressives" or - god forbid - actual DEMOCRATS that you could talk to?

I am sick to death of "former" Republicans sucking all the air out of the room.

Paul deVos's avatar

I'm just wondering if Joe drinks as much as cash Patel or keg's breath. Of course, it's not really a concern because he's not in charge of the FBI or the pentagon.

cliff love your chair I've had mine since 2005

Just wish we could all play in the sand box together and stop this shit!

The only real problem with Israel is Bibi Netanyahu.
