The Devil's Advocates Radio Show · Mon Mar 4, 2024

The devil's advocates radio show is broadcast under a time brokerage agreement between devil

radio and civic media ink.

Some portions of this program may be pre-recorded.

Warning!

You're about to listen to the greatest radio show ever, and due to contractual obligations

and to shield our airwaves and corporate licensees from any semblance of liability, responsibility

and gullibility, we must tell you the views represented on this show are not necessarily

those of this station or its management.

This radio show contains differing points of view on current political topics, and due

to the nature of its contents, it should be heard by everyone.

Thank you for listening.

Now live from the civic media studios in Madison, Wisconsin, where the political party is just

beginning, welcome to the devil's advocates radio show.

Friends proving it's never personal, only politics.

Now here's your host, Dom and Crute, welcome to the devil's advocates radio show.

Dom, I'm calling this one the Big Monday, the Power of Cheese edition.

Welcome to it, little buddy.

Hey, Crutey, good to be with you.

Thank you, Nate, working aboard our fair audience.

Happy Monday to us all.

Well, we'll get to the cheese pro in the backyard headline stand, and we've got to find

guest here in the Madison W MDX studios with me.

He is former Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader, Democrat, Chakwala, we're going to do a little

inside baseball on the new legislative maps, there are democratic pickups to be had, but

of course, we should all acknowledge gentlemen, the breaking news, the US Supreme Court, allowing

Donald Trump to, you know, stay on the ballot in Colorado, in Maine, apparently Illinois,

also seeking to take him off the ballot because he is an insurrectionist, some would say,

an effort of foot here in the state of Wisconsin.

I think it was the brewmeister from an aqua brewing, also trying to block him through action

with the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

But Chakwala, let me ask you, this effort to block Trump from the ballot, I know you

fear, as I do, another term of Trump, but I didn't see this as the right approach.

That's your thoughts, sir.

Well, it's interesting you say that because most of the people I talk to, and of course,

their Democrats do not, they want to see Trump taking off the ballot.

My view is we're a democracy, you have to beat him, you have to go out and beat him,

and if we can't beat him at the ballot box, we're not going to beat him.

I think we will be able to defeat Donald Trump because I think women know that abortion

is on the ballot, people know that our democracy is at stake, and I think at the end of the day

we'll be able to do it, but I am afraid that if in a democracy you remove someone from

the ballot, no matter what he's done, before he has a chance to have this people speak,

I think that people will not react well to that.

And by the way, you know, Illinois, why do you have to have them on the ballot?

He's not going to win it.

Illinois.

Well, if the Constitution, if the 14th Amendment, section three, and we've got some that

quoted to us often, if that's how they define an insurrectionist and the pain of that

means you can't be on the presidential ballot, I can see why some would want to go that

direction.

But that was not what the Supreme Court said.

And I would remind my co-panelist Dominic, we argued on this point, but the U.S. Supreme

Court upheld crudey, nine, nothing.

Well, again, I would consider crudey that I was not taking that action, but we were making

the argument and a couple of things they did not do.

They did not say that Trump did not engage in insurrection, right?

And now, based on some of the reading that I've done of reporting on this, the liberal

justice is joined by Amy COVID Barrett, saying that the conservatives went too far in what

they were doing.

So, I mean, I'm just curious now, if Donald Trump engaged an insurrection, I think we

can agree that he did for that purpose, and what way and how exactly do we affect getting

Donald Trump off the ballot then?

There is no way to do so.

There's no way to do that for any of the other federal officers.

I mean, so what, we do nothing for 10 years until Congress acts, I just, it's a very strange

spot to be in, in my opinion.

What do you think, Chuck?

It is strange.

But if, you know, again, I'm an attorney as well as involved in politics, and one argument

that could be made is that the court has not yet spoken on the issue of whether Donald

Trump can take office.

If he's on the ballot, he's on the ballot, but if he were to be elected, that could be,

you know, the Supreme Court is supposed to be a body that only takes cases that it must

take, and it's supposed to decide things as minimally as they can.

They're too intruded in our society as little as possible.

One argument that some people have made is that even if Trump were to win, he is still

an insurrectionist, and at that point, perhaps the 14th Amendment would be involved and take

it to court, and perhaps Donald Trump would not be allowed to serve.

I think that's a dicey proposition, but it might be a point where the court would look

at it differently.

I'm less convinced.

Chuck Wallace is the former Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader.

That will argue more about this point of high order, but let's talk about the Wisconsin

maps, gentlemen, new maps, legislative maps here in the state of Wisconsin.

And for those that don't know the history, the Republicans actually handed Governor Tony

Evers the Democrat back his own maps.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court, this new liberal-blocked Supreme Court had said the current maps unconstitutional.

They failed to be contiguous, and for state constitutional reasons, because you want to keep

it out of the U.S. Supreme Court, you got to create new maps or the legislature in the

Governor have to agree.

And as a shock to this guy, I got to tell you, Chuck, they did.

They did.

New maps in place and will claims they're not going to sue to overturn the maps.

So I think we've got some working maps here, Chuck.

And the maps give you some optimism.

Let's look to where Dom's at over in the eastern part of the state, Southeast Wisconsin.

What are the new maps going to mean for small-d democracy, Chuck Wallace?

Well, one key thing is I think that the Democrats have a real opportunity to win the eighth

Senate district.

We have a Senate can ran in a special election when, way ahead of where that district would

have expected to be.

I know that there are a lot of discussions going on, but if, for some reason, a Jody

have a Senate can run again.

She will actually have run in more of that district than the person who's going to run

against her to a struggle.

Because Cunodal, who was in that district before, has already said he will not be running.

So that's one pickup for the Democrats.

Donald is Dom's senator, because he didn't have the courage to run against the mayor.

Go ahead.

Gentlemen, the Wisconsin Examiner is reporting today, and if you saw this, a state senator

André Jacques has also entered the race for the eighth congressional district.

The more the mayor are up there, I think that there is a chance that a Dr. Kristen Lierley

may be running for that seat.

And although I would call that seat unwinnable for most Democrats, for Dr. Lierley, I think

there's a real opportunity, especially, this is an OB-GYN doctor who delivers babies

every day in rural areas, something that we're desperate to have around our country and

our state.

And yet she's very strongly an advocate and does perform abortions.

I think that women in that district have an opportunity to speak, and you could hear

them roar.

And I think that it's going to be a stand up for women race up there, and she has a chance

to win.

I would, I would love to see her running against André Jacques, I think he's the perfect

foil.

What a contrast that would be.

I'll talk about beauty in the beast.

Holy cow.

Uh, Dr. Kristen Lierley, one of our favorites.

She's an often guest on this show, Chuck Walla will invite you back, but we're not done

with yet.

Let's, let's talk about Milwaukee, though, Milwaukee, sir, the suburbs, especially because

they're turning bluer each and every cycle.

Absolutely.

And that's a good reason.

Also, why the eighth Senate district in addition to having a great candidate potentially over

there.

It's not done yet.

But in addition to that, the, the burbs are turning more blue and that will help in the

eighth.

But it will also help not this year.

And this is one of the challenges of the governor Evers maps is that they leave the fifth

and the 21st over to their odd number districts.

So they will not be up until the gubernatorial election.

The good thing is these districts are definitely competitive and winnable democratic, uh, potential

democratic seats.

So if you look, for example, at the fifth, uh, Joe Biden won that seat by the new seat,

50.8% to 47.4%, uh, Joe Mandela Barnes won that seat 50.5% to 49.2%.

So I think that at the, or 49% so at the end of the day, these are competitive seats.

Now, the 21st, that's another seat, kind of the southern part that goes down into Racine

County and has a fair amount of Racine County, but comes up, up into Milwaukee County.

And that seat, it actually should have more of Racine County.

That seat that definitely Biden won it 50.4% to 48.1%, but Mandela Barnes lost at 49.5

to 50.3.

And the reason I cite those two races, they're both extremely tight races, won the Democrats

across the state slightly lost by about a percent.

Mandela Barnes race against Ron Johnson.

And with Biden, he won by about a percent.

So those two races give you a pretty good idea.

The other thing is I like the Biden race, of course, because that's a rematch of him and

Trump, uh, Mandela remembers in the gubernatorial year.

So you got to look at these things in context and the 21st will be up in the, in the gubernatorial

year, which is when Mandela went.

Now Chuck Wall, uh, perhaps it was before we got on there and excuse me, if I'm asking

to be repetitive, what about Appleton?

What about that Senate?

Appleton is a slam dunk.

You can move up their dominant.

You'll be Democrat for the rest of the decade, at least, uh, they have an amazing candidate

up there.

Chris Alfheim, who is going to do well.

She's been working on this for quite a while.

That seat is about 56% Democratic.

It's a slam dunk.

In fact, I, I, I think I will probably get a call from Chris after this is over, Sam,

what are you doing?

You're killing my fundraising.

What's up there, buddy?

But she's going to win that on a slam dunk.

And then Green Bay, uh, and the good thing is that seat up in Appleton will be up this

year.

It's the, it's the 18th.

It is now the 18th.

And up in Green Bay, the 30th has been made, Green Bay has been put back together.

And there's a better chance of winning the Green Bay seat as well.

And the 30th is something that I think we have.

So here's what's going to happen to get the majority.

This year, you're going to get the 14th in the Dane County area, the eighth in the,

um, Milwaukee area, definitely Appleton, you're going to get the 18th and then you get

the 30th.

Or seat pickup that takes you from 11 to 15.

That's probably about all you could do.

There are some creative things that might happen that could make that even better, but

if you pick up all four, you're in now.

The next time around, you heard about the fifth and the 21st.

There's also the 17th over in Dane County.

That is going to be a slam dunk, even though Howard Markleine takes it now.

So you're getting that one for sure.

If you took the four this year, then you got to win the 17th and take one of the other

two.

The fifth or the 21st.

Now, if you only take three this year, then you got to run the table next year or two

years from now.

So it's tight, but it's doable.

And the assembly, a tough race, this coming year, but again, I hopefully they get really

tight and then they are able to pick it up two years later.

Chuck Walla, you've been full of insights.

Any anything that didn't ask you, well, I think the question is, what, how big an impact

is the Trump Biden race going to have on all this?

And I think it will be enormous.

If Donald Trump were able to get a three or four point margin in this state, then all the

things I'm saying all bets are off.

But if Biden is able to squeak through or even if Trump wins by a small amount, I think

Democrats are in a very good position to have this happen.

Chuck Walla, former Senate Majority Leader Democrat, insider, soon to be a friend of the

devil's advocates.

Thanks for coming around today, Chuck.

Thanks for having me.

Thank you, Chuck.

Thank you.

More of this big show, more of your calls.

It's a big cheesy.

The power of cheese Monday edition, 844-967-2789.

Occupy didn't start on Wall Street.

It started on Wall Street, the devil's advocates.

Thank you for listening to the devil's advocates, radio show, love it when you join the conversation

anytime.

844-967-2789.

Down the road, we're tripping across this great state, somewhere.

There's a rock and roll station playing Van Halen's Panama, Garrett Tia, I guarantee it.

Thank you to our most recent guest, the fine one, Chuck Walla.

The former Senate Majority Leader, great state of Wisconsin.

And Chuck was the consummate insider, man.

And anyways, appreciated first opportunity I ever met this man face to face.

Very nice.

That's cool.

And I love the numbers, man.

I'm breaking it down, gives me some hope.

You know, it's like, well, they're going to know all it feels like it's going to get better

and all that.

But to have it broken down and spelt all late out for me, that was very insightful.

It's a little hard to govern from the super minority, like the Democrats have had to do here

for like a decade, not because of better candidates and better ideas, this rapid loss.

Sure, that's it.

They keep telling us that.

Well, that's what he keeps saying.

So looking forward to the new maps, but Dom, the national headlines of the day, it's got

a lot to do with the US Supreme Court.

And I can't tell you this was a shocking ruling.

I listened to a lot of the prior questioning of the council.

So I knew there was a skepticism amongst all the justices about disqualifying Donald Trump

from the presidential ballot.

But you know, in this case, it hurts a little that I'm always this right.

Come on.

It's like you're going out on a legend thinking that this is what it was going to be.

I don't know that anybody said, oh, they're definitely going to keep them off the ballot.

But the way in which apparently they wrote this judgment as a little concerning, the Washington

Post reporting, while the decision was unanimous, the court's three liberal justices also wrote

separately, saying the conservative majority went too far and decided an issue that was not

before the court in an attempt to insulate all alleged insurrectionists from future

challenges to their holding office, quote, unquote.

And of course, then the question is, well, what about dabs?

You know, I mean, they say, well, they went so far on this one, but not on that.

So the philosophy has seemingly been inconsistent, let's just say with the US Supreme Court.

Well, you mean the conservative branch of the US Supreme Court?

I mean, if you've lost Coney Barrett, what does that tell you?

Well, maybe she's not quite the hack that some are.

Well, depends on what the question is.

Also, Washington Post continues in their article.

It posted up on the Facebook page, the devil's advocates radio, go check it out.

The court's opinion Monday did not address the question of whether Trump engaged in insurrection.

It also did not list a single justice as the primary author.

They did it per Curium in effort to show unanimity, unanimity, yes, the justice is through

a clear distinction.

I love it when it's so and also got stuck on the word.

Right.

Here's what they said, states may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state

office, but states have no power under the Constitution to enforce section three with respect

to federal offices, especially, especially crudey the presidency.

Five of these six conservative justices went further writing that the disqualification

clause can only be enforced for a national office through federal legislation, not a federal

court challenge or non-legislative action by Congress.

Their quote, responsibility for enforcing section three against federal office folders

and candidates, rest with Congress, and not the states.

Who's the big conservative guy, Ludig, very well, in his way.

I didn't think he was very optimistic on this particular judgment.

The three liberal justices in their sharply worded concurrence said the majority's approach

quote, shuts the door on other potential means of federal enforcement.

We cannot join an opinion that decides momentous and difficult issues unnecessarily.

So yeah, there we go.

And Trump, of course, is out there saying, oh, what a great job, what a great job.

But, you know, of course, they have other things to decide as well.

And while I would agree that most folks, even crudey was right, man, going off, really

going off on a limb on this one, I think this is about the same as

the absolute immunity issue.

There's no way that's going to be allowed.

It's like, there's very unlikely that they were going to wipe Trump off the ballot in this

case.

Well, we didn't know until oral arguments, and you haven't heard the oral arguments

yet, April 22nd, I believe when we're going to hear the oral arguments on the question

of absolute immunity, you know, it seems ludicrous, right?

It seems ludicrous, you're on this in the appellate court, and they were ridiculous.

What they're going to get better?

Dominic asked to this ruling today, a little more coverage at the post.

Republican celebrated the Supreme Court's decision to allow Donald Trump to remain on

the election ballot in Colorado and reverse a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that disqualified

him because of his role in the deadly January 6th attack on the US Capitol.

And the decision came on the eve of super Tuesday, you know, like 900 delegates being awarded

on the Republican side to borrow them.

When 15 states, including Colorado, will hold Republican nominated contest almost immediately

after the ruling was made public, Trump posted a brief all caps message on his social

media site.

I read it for you, Dom.

Big win for America.

Three exclamation points.

I think he's excited by this one moments later, he referred to the next question before

the justice says that could affect his electability.

He has challenged a ruling from the US Court of Appeals for the DC circuit that said he

is not protected from criminal prosecution by presidential immunity.

The Supreme Court's decision to take that case delayed Trump's federal election interference

trial in DC.

I know that one's pissing me off until at least late summer, just a few months before

the election, the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear that case next month.

But in a radio interview shortly after Monday's ruling wasn't what the greatest radio show

ever, obviously, Dom, Trump said it will be of equal importance how the court rules on

his sweeping claim of immunity from prosecution over actions taken while president, while

I would say yes, more important, and you're going to lose that one, but here's what he

told Boston radio host, how we car, you know, because when the Supreme Court rules and

your favor, who doesn't go running the how we car in Boston, a precedent has to have

immunity or they won't be able to function, they'll be ceremonial.

So I think it's a very important one coming up now.

What say you done the board in case presidential immunity.

We all think we know how it's going to be ruled on, but then again, there was some question

when we first debated the topic of, you know, the whole 14th amendment.

The fact there had been due process in Colorado and all these different things and and I

get better reminded people of differing opinions had differing opinions that day, but we

didn't know until we heard the oral arguments that this was a doomed cause.

Another point on this though, Noah Bookfinder, the president of the citizens for responsibility

and ethics in Washington, they helped bring the lawsuit.

He said, he said by not addressing the insurrection question, the high court let that finding

from Cattle Rattle stand.

He said, the voters, not the courts would have to pass final judgment on Trump's conduct,

quote, the Supreme Court removed an enforcement mechanism and in letting Trump back on the ballot,

they failed to meet the moment, but it is now clear that Trump led the January 6th insurrection

and it will be up to the American people to ensure accountability, accountability.

That's what you get right here, devil's advocates, nothing but accountability.

And Dom, 844-967-2789, your calls could be next.

The devil's advocates radio for the 99 percent.

Welcome back to the devil's advocates radio show the Monday edition of Big Monday,

a big cheesy Monday, Dom. We'll get to the cheese, bro, the newest.

But just see what the wanker had to say cause.

You know, is that a walker walkup music?

I literally hate that guy, just like the dropkick Murphy's.

And we'll get to the calls in just a moment.

Please be patient at 844-967-2789 tomorrow's Super Tuesday.

And apparently Trump will remain on the ballot thanks to a unanimous

acknowledgement that Rudy was right by the U.S. Supreme Court.

But the newest reporting at the journal sentinel because one must always question,

what's the wanker think about that?

I wake up every morning thinking.

I had a Super Tuesday former Wisconsin governor, Scotty wanker, my bad walker,

who briefly ran for president in 2015.

Did he have that work out for you wanker?

Very briefly.

Said he doesn't see a way for former you and a bastard Nikki Haley to secure the Republican

nomination. I like Nikki Haley. We served together as governors.

In case you forgot, he was governor.

I think she did a good job as investor.

But I don't see a pathway for her forward.

Not just on Tuesday, but overall.

Now wanker said that Sunday.

I'll see it in state of the union.

Yeah, she should like ever.

Deleter account, not politically, not spiritually, not physically, she's literally,

she has no path forward.

What?

Dominic Walker at one point of front runner in his race ran for about two months.

I thought it was 71 days specifically, despite losing to former president Donald Trump

in early contest.

Haley supporters are urging her to stay in the races.

Long as she can.

Even until the Republican national convention in Milwaukee, this July.

Well, the fact that the other guy is under 91,

Fallonia's criminal indictments, that would encourage we to stay in the race a bit longer.

And she went over the weekend, Dom.

She won DC baby 63% of the electorate Republicans in DC.

I mean, she must have gotten a thousand votes.

It was a small sample.

Oh, what's that?

The Albert, I mean, he's Trump is going to a criminal trial.

The end of this month.

What, right?

March 25th.

Yes, sir.

11 days.

I'm sorry, more than 11 days.

One, two, three weeks, three weeks from today.

Donald Trump will be in a, well, at least to start jury selection, right?

Why wouldn't Nikki Haley stay on?

Well, because Scotty wanker predicted there would be a blowout on Super Tuesday and pointed

to polls and battleground states that show Trump ahead of President Joe Biden.

Now, Trump is favored to win Super Tuesday Contest, which

although Haley won her first primary in Washington DC on Sunday.

She took 62% of the vote.

Judy said 63.

The only a little more than 2,000 people voted in the GOP primary,

not a very democratic Republican stronghold DC, right?

They all live in Arlington.

Does she get any delegates for it?

Yeah, she won 19.

Something like that.

All right, all right.

19 nothing.

She wiped the board.

And Wisconsin doesn't vote on Super Tuesday.

We get to vote April 2nd.

15 states in one US territory head to the polls tomorrow.

Wisconsin isn't one of them.

Wisconsin voters head to the polls on April 2nd.

That's a Tuesday, damn.

It's like a month from now.

The badger state is towards the end of the primary schedule.

12 states hold the Republican primary after Wisconsin.

Connecticut, Delaware, New York, and Rhode Island share Wisconsin state.

We're mostly better than those states.

When asked about the landscape in Wisconsin,

Wanker suggested voters are focused on economic issues.

And families aren't feeling positive effects from

Bidenomics.

When it comes to the economy,

when it comes to high prices,

when it comes to public safety and border security,

if those issues are on the ballot,

Joe Biden loses Walker says.

And that's a man that knows some about losing them.

Vice President Kamala Harris,

if you're unaware,

Dams coming to my hometown Wednesday.

I've invited the VP on this fine show.

We'll see if they take us up on it.

844-967-2789.

Call us Kamala.

You're a first some callers, Dan.

Let's get some of them on it.

Yeah, see the vice president and the queue,

but they're still talking about what we'll get to

or right away when she calls.

Mark from the sack,

buddy, it had to be a little miffed at the US Supreme Court.

I know you thought Trump should have been blocked

from the ballot if I recall.

Mark.

I think you should.

I think, yes, thanks, guys.

I think you should have been blocked nationwide,

because, you know,

and I guess I disagree with the Supreme Court,

but I would think that the 14th amendment is self,

is not, that it takes place automatically,

and that a placement back on the ballot

is something that takes the act of Congress to do.

But what do I know?

I just, I'm just semi-literate,

and I can read the Constitution.

Read what it actually says,

that in the fact that, you know,

Donald Trump has any support at all,

just shocks me,

that these people are willing to vote for a man

who has now been adjudicated

as a, as a, as a, as a sexual assault,

a man who has bragged about being a sexual assaultor.

He's bragged about it for goodness sake.

A man who has defamed people

and, you know, adjudicated to have defamed people,

is meaning for that,

a guy that has been found now,

you know, guilty of fraud.

I mean, that, and this crap that,

oh, nobody was harmed,

nobody was harmed.

The truth was harmed.

I mean, as Dom has pointed out,

the truth was harmed,

and it, you know, it's only by, you know,

the grace of, you know,

the luck of the draw that, you know,

that the money didn't go south,

and that more people are out of money

than we're actually out of money,

that, uh, the money that they're due.

I mean, that Donald Trump cheated on those firms.

He went, how could you declare

10,000 square feet is 30,000 square feet?

I'm really bad at math!

I'm not good at math on the radio.

I'm not good at math on the radio.

Assault,

Rod, you know,

hoarding secret documents,

lying about it,

obstruction of justice,

you know, uh,

trying to overturn the government,

those things I would consider to be, you know,

negative attributes to a person.

But CJ would see them as

the sort of things that would make a great candidate

for the presidency.

Well, what, what, what people like,

when, when conservatives will really finally turn their back

on Donald Trump is,

is when he runs out of money,

that's the real crime.

Well, when they run out of money,

because they're feeding his financial needs.

Are they not?

At least $50 million in legal fees last year alone.

CJ, he's your kind of guy.

Hello, CJ.

You guys are taking my call today.

Well, I appreciate that.

Hey, good evening.

You know, Dom, I'm going to give you a chance

to reprieve yourself,

because being the civic radio truth detector,

you said, uh,

Lincoln's Riley's murderer came over

when Trump was in office.

I never said that now.

I would, but I didn't say anything,

but where she came from.

So when did he come over?

When did he come over?

I believe, I believe he came over

under the Biden administration,

but I also believe that it was the Trump policy for Venezuela

that allowed more of Venezuela

is to come over to the United States.

CJ.

It's one of CJ.

You know what I mean, dude,

we're not setting national policy

because of one tragedy in Georgia.

Oh, yes, we are,

because the country is well aware of it,

finally,

and the press can't cover it up anymore.

So you guys can deflect,

but this is all under Joe Biden.

We are less safe and less prosperous,

and the truth be told.

But the crime rates are going down, CJ,

under Joe Biden.

So if we look at the national

crime rates, they're actually going down substantially, CJ.

Well, that's just facts, dude.

Yes, yes,

I'll surprise you,

because that's not what they tell you on Fox News, buddy.

But if we talk about an individual criminal act,

whether it's someone here with legal status or not,

is it more or less of a tragedy?

Because I know Dom and I heard the gleeful tones

of right wing talk radio, CJ,

and they mirror yours.

You know, those that would revel in the tragedy

if they could blame it on Joe Biden,

it's very ghoulish, CJ.

I don't know if you realize this.

Sounds kind of ghoulish.

But it's like, if my kids dead,

and they were killed by a legal or an illegal,

does it give them back to me?

Because it doesn't.

And, you know, quite frankly,

whether or not a singular,

illegal alien, as CJ would probably call them,

killed a woman in Georgia or not.

I don't know if you know this, man,

but there's lots of domestic stuff that happens all over this nation.

Lots of stalkers.

That's fine because those are our fellow citizens

perpetuating crime against.

But we never try to stop them from having weapons or AR-15s or guns.

Whether or not, I mean, we can't get Republicans in

port for red flag laws.

So we don't actually ever try to take the guns away from anyone.

But God forbid they came across the,

the border during the Biden administration,

because then we got an issue to beat up the former,

or I guess he's the current president.

Your guy says the former.

You know, so when you allow what,

MBS to murder an American journalist on your watch,

Jamal Khashoggi, that's all cool,

because you know, they gave Jared $2 billion afterwards.

That doesn't seem unsavory at all.

Not compared to a singular murder that has nothing to do with Joe Biden.

But it happened on Biden's watch,

so let's beat him up with it.

I'm getting so sick of that crap.

8 or 4, 9, 6, 7, 27, 8, 9,

and I know all the conservatives are very concerned about law and order.

Perhaps you should maybe read what 91 federal charges

against the guy you support above and beyond the actual convictions

of the things that he's done and the things that he says.

But you know, better candidates, better messages.

8, 4, 4, 9, 6, 7, 2, 7, 8, 9,

Jeannie from Oaklayer.

You're up Jeannie. Welcome.

What do you got for us?

He's sister. How you doing?

Hi, guys. Thank you so much for taking my call.

Great show as usual.

Well, you know, I just like to ask people who call in

that bring up this one incident because I wonder what the response

is to have a math school shootings, shootings in church,

shooting Las Vegas concerts, shooting at parades.

Let's see. How many more shootings in area?

Oh, grocery stores. We can't forget that one.

Well, what my goodness say?

Who don't respond to that?

Who don't respond when there's a border bill that's there?

But they want to keep the heat on,

biting when they had one of the best border crossing

bills and, you know, to protect our border.

And they said, no way.

You know, how many times do we have to wait

with Knuckles Clank when are these guys going to pass a budget?

I mean, I'd like to make a three, you know, six-figure salary

for sitting on my butt and playing political games

during my time. I'm getting paid by my constituents

through their tax dollars to represent.

So get that in pipe and smoke it and you guys have a great day, okay?

Thank you.

Thank you, Jenny. Appreciate the passion.

As always, it is past 420.

So you could literally put it in your spike in your pipe and smoke it.

Monday, man, these Mondays are tough.

Not as bad as Trump's weekend.

I don't care how bad my Monday mouth gets.

Trump all weekend could not speak incompetent sentences.

But my guy is the old one.

Right, right, right.

I mean, that was, I saw a little bit man of him mumbling and jumbling.

And like, actually, I felt like he got exasperated at some point.

Arjitina, he's a great guy.

What? Come on and Joe Biden's the one, Joe Biden.

I mean, they're both old and they probably don't have the same things going on,

but something's going on with Trump, certainly.

844-967-2789.

Steven from Green Bay. Welcome, Steven.

Hi, Steven.

Oh, um, thank you for taking my call.

Um, with Jesus, where do I start?

Quickly, because I didn't give you a lot of time.

You got like a minute.

Oh, lovely.

Okay.

Well, you know, CJ, you call him a lot and you steal a lot of things that aren't true.

Maybe you should read a book or an article or anything,

and other than, you know, what Fox News tells you,

you might be enlightened a little bit and come on here and actually,

you know, found somewhere educated and set up like a flowering too,

or like you do now.

That's all.

Well, you got to be careful because even reading the Kairan on the Fox News,

they sometimes tell the truth on the Kairan,

not the host so much, but the Kairan.

Way more accurate than the content of their shows.

Their opinion, hosts perhaps.

But this is entertaining.

No one expects Tucker Carlson to be telling the truth.

But they've got some dead white girl in Georgia.

It's a tragedy.

Let's tell everybody.

And it's Joe's fault.

More Devils.

The Devils Advocates, political commentary from the back of the class.

And thank you for listening to the Devils Advocates radio show.

You can call us, join us eight, four, four, nine,

eight, seven, two, seven, eight, nine,

or you can download the super cool civic media app,

take the Devils with you everywhere.

You go click the text, click the call,

look for it on your favorite app store.

I've only got one favorite app store.

C-I-O-S because I got an Apple.

Others might have others, but I don't like the Google.

The Google scares me.

I don't even like my Google calendar.

It betrayed me last week.

Obviously.

See, I love the Google Maps.

I'm not a fan of the Apple Maps.

So I don't use the Apple Maps.

Hence, I'll let you give me the wrong directions

and we were coming back and Detroit.

Yeah, no, that was my car's navigation,

as you were quick to point out.

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot.

I forgot.

Eight for four, nine, six, seven, two, seven, eight, nine.

Every good reason for you to be a bitch for six hours.

Dick, for Madison, welcome.

What do you got for us, Dick?

Hey, Dick.

Well, thanks, Dom, for stealing my thunder.

My best off of the weekend, too, was

Argentina.

He's a great guy.

He was so screwed up this weekend.

It was beyond belief.

But do give him a little credit.

You heard this earlier today, didn't you?

That he did give Nancy Pelosi credit

for winning the DC primary at first.

Democratic women to win it.

Now, that was great.

I heard it this morning.

Stephanie Miller.

He did, he did the conflation again.

The interjection or whatever you call it.

I love it.

Yeah, yeah.

He's still in a process.

He's being sarcastic and smart, me, Dick.

I was sure he is.

He's a serious way ahead of us on all of this.

And here's the other thing that you already brought up.

Both of you, he's spending money like a drunk and sailor

and they're going to be out of money.

And he's going to bankrupt all the down ballot people as well.

This money doesn't just go to the presidential candidate, right?

Well, the National Republican

party committee, the RNC, has like $9 million cash on hand

and like $4 million in debt.

And they got to support an entire electoral calendar.

Now, there's not a lot of Republican senators.

There's not a lot of pickup opportunities for the Dems.

But they still got to defend seats.

And the Derrick van Orin is defending a guy like that.

It's not going to come cheap.

No, but you know, and they've got to just hope for people like this.

You know, how deep is carpet baggers that you used to live?

So funder five years old.

Come on.

Laguna Beach needs representation too, Dick.

I love the party stash though.

That's a great look for you.

Eric Holtv.

If he does not shave that off between now and the election day,

I believe Ben Vocal, who used to be with Ron Johnson.

I believe Ben's over there at the Holtv campaign.

We've actually invited the candidate on.

But I got to tell you, I am going to make fun of the porn stash.

I mean, that's not a good look.

I mean, well, certainly that's fair.

I mean, you had one for a while.

Wasn't a good look on you either.

It is pretty amusing though, but you wear a goatee like seriously every day.

I mean, I mean, come on, man, you're going to you're going to literally comment on other people's,

you know, facial decor.

Uh, when you go to use appropriate facial

here wear in Wisconsin, it's terrible.

It's terrible.

Man, you've got that because you can't grow a full man beer.

Look at this thing.

See, I mean, I got to shave all the time.

It's always here.

I didn't need to go teeth.

Well, what is that?

You're going to make fun of it guys.

The mustache and you learn.

I don't want to even tell you what it looks like.

That thing, that thing.

So you got a mustache and a thing under your chin and that's super cool.

But if you just do the mustache, not okay.

What about what about just the thing on the chin?

Is that okay or is that not good?

Are we talking soul patch?

You tell me, man, you're the one critiquing everybody.

Eric Kodvi has a porn stash.

It's not just that he has a mustache, which in and of itself a mustache, not

not the best look for a man.

I've never worn just a mustache.

Full man or nothing.

All right, but you realize part of the go T is the mustache.

But it's like matching the carpets with the drapes.

You know, it's all part of the look.

Are you sure?

Because I told my wife I want to make sure the carpets match the drapes.

Eight, four, four, nine, six, seven, two, seven, eight, nine.

Oh, my.

Cindy, a man with a porn stash, it's a little hard to look him in the eye, isn't it?

Hi, Cindy.

Hi, I'm not sure.

I guess I'm kind of not that's not the moment right now.

I just wanted to say if the Google maps are up, don't you think we should blame Biden for that too?

It happened under his administration, Cindy.

It's only his fault.

I think so.

We better.

Yep.

We better do that.

Any other thoughts, Cindy?

That's all you got.

All right.

I thought I'd pull her into the porn stash conversation,

but she wasn't having it.

I don't know.

I don't know.

It's just a little odd, pretty.

Eight, four, four, nine, six, seven, two, seven, eight, nine.

I'm going to prove you're wrong again.

Hey, Matt from Fitchburg.

Do you have a porn stash?

Oh, I'm not really wanting to comment.

I'm sort of going through a, uh, a Captain Blue Alpanel phase right now.

Oh, nice.

You know, the rest of them, they're too mad.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But that means you've got the beard.

If it was just the mustache, it would, then, then you would look like the hedgehog.

Yeah, I grew it out over the pandemic and I haven't done anything with it yet.

So that's my.

Matt, I just appreciate you playing along.

What did you have?

Well, I've got an ironclad talking point.

And this is for people who argue Joe Biden is losing his marbles or whatever.

I've got an ironclad reason why his brain is just fine.

It's a okay.

And I want to, I mean, I promise it's ironclad.

Are you ready?

All right, laid on us, Matt.

All right, here it comes.

It's during the press conferences.

Pretty much every other one, the press conference is over.

Joe Biden turns around on.

He's walking off stage.

Everybody's going, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President.

And he picks one question out of all that cacophity.

And he's something in his heads of, uh,

shit, I better go back and listen to that one.

All right, let me go back.

He can listen, he can hear it, he can understand through all the noise.

What question he wants to ask.

And that shows that he's totally cognitively there.

Unlike my friend, I was in Tina.

What if it's a Peter Deucey question?

Then he just gives him the old-use son of a.

It's just, well, I haven't had him under his breath.

I haven't had you hear President Biden report to the press as the enemy of the people.

The enemy of the state.

Peter Deucey said a few choice words from Peter.

Not a friend.

You are the enemy of the people.

Folks, we are the devil's advocates.

Some say, great spread, he'll show ever.

It's true.

You're listening right now.

And you're going to stick around because

this newest Supreme Court ruling makes Donald Trump subject to blackmail.

I tell you, more devil's.
