Rogan Endorsement...Airing Of The Grievances...

The Devil's Advocates Radio Show · Fri Aug 9, 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 for many 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.

And now here's your host, Dom and Crout.

Welcome back to the devil's advocates radio show the Friday edition.

Thank God we made it to a happier happy hour.

The weekends upon us.

It's beer 30 somewhere.

So looking forward to a weekend, but we're not done talking about politics yet.

And earlier today, I question and if you'd like to play along,

we're all reset this topic a little bit.

Is there anyone that politically you find influential?

You know, and I'm not looking for crudey, although that's a great answer.

But I'm talking about someone that would change your mind on a subject.

And I personally really respect and trust Meg Donne.

Like as a friend, there's one person in my life that when she tells me I'm

wrong, I apologize.

And it's usually Maggie Donne.

I always love me some Ed Schultz in terms of this industry broadcast.

Ed Schultz was perhaps the most authentic guy in the radio.

I think I ever heard and his ability to captivate an audience.

I mean, he was a big influencer on me.

I wasn't even in the radio industry.

That was on the property management firm and just, you know, had a little success

and got bored and thought I could do that.

Thought Ed Schultz, when he did it, was so full of joyous of radio host.

I hope you had the opportunity to hear Ed Schultz.

But anyways, me and Donne been doing this about 13 years now.

We'd like to think we're influential.

I've certainly shifted many of Donne's attitudes.

And he occasionally, to be honest, has shifted mind as well.

We both see things differently than we once did.

And if you don't continue growing, if new evidence comes to light, you don't change

your opinion, I guess my attitude is what the hell is wrong with you.

But anyways, in that light, I'd be curious.

Is there someone influential in your life?

You know, politically so not someone that convinced you to try new Cuban restaurant,

but someone that could convince you to go vote for someone you'd never heard of,

or you weren't as familiar with or maybe a word and you just didn't think they

were the right candidate for you.

Just curious, eight, four, four, nine, six, seven, two, seven, eight, nine.

And here's part of the reason I ask those that know us well, know that my son

just celebrated his 18th birthday.

Happy birthday, Carson.

A little bladed on the radio.

I think we said it early and said it late and didn't say it on the day of your

birthday, but happy birthday, but guy and my son's off to business school.

He's a smart kid, but he's a kid.

You know, when he hangs out with the jacks, he played in, well, mostly

wrestled.

He did play football earlier in his career, but he's a wrestler and he goes and works

out quite a bit.

And so he kind of hangs out with the bros, if you know what I'm saying.

And they of course have some influence on his fear.

And I find that he's always saying, hey, dad, you see such and such on Joe Rogan.

And he should just know the answer before he asked the question is no, no, I didn't see that.

But anyways, Joe Rogan, he has become a fan of this guy, this guy that

apparently commentates UFC fights.

I told you again, I'm not a big fan of the violent sports.

He's a wrestler.

So, you know, maybe he's more than I.

But no, Joe Rogan's not on my podcast.

Listen list.

So here is a headline and this is why I bring it up.

Joe Rogan has made an endorsement in the presidential race.

And I hope he is influential in this regard.

Joe Rogan supports RFK Jr.

And if I had a wager, if I'd have bet,

I'd bet Joe Rogan was walking my son's friends towards voting for Donald Trump.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Got a bit of habit I've had lately a little bit.

And then we'll take some of your calls and your text at 844-967-2789.

I'm going to do just a brief reading the loading.

Podcast or Joe Rogan yesterday,

through his wait behind independent presidential candidate,

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Saying that he views both Democrats and Republicans

is perverting Democratic norms.

Yeah, if you, you, Joe can think that way.

Rogan made the remarks on his video podcast.

The Joe Rogan experience.

If you haven't experienced it, probably the better for it.

That's just what they do.

That's politics.

They do it on the left.

They do it on the right, Rogan said.

They gaslight you.

They manipulate you.

They promote narratives.

And the only one who's not doing that

is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Whew.

I want what he's smoking.

I'm just saying.

Rogan added that he's a fan of Kennedy.

He's the only one that makes sense to me, he said.

He's the only one he doesn't attack people.

He attacks actions and ideas.

But he's much more reasonable and intelligent.

I mean, the guy was an environmental lawyer.

And he cleaned up the East River.

He's a legitimate guy.

Yes, those things are true of Robert Kennedy Jr.

I don't know if it was the brain worm or what,

but something changed.

He's not that guy anymore.

Or at least his actions have changed, might elite Joe.

A day later in a post on Twitter, Rogan said his earlier comments.

Did not represent endorsement?

Well, I take it back then, or at least he did.

That's not an endorsement.

Or as he writes, for the record, this isn't an endorsement.

This is me saying, I like RFK Jr. as a person.

And I really appreciate the way he discusses things

with civility and intelligence.

He also complimented former president Trump's reaction

after the attempt on his life at a rally last month.

I also think Trump raised his fists and said,

fight if you're getting shot at is one of the most American

acting things of all time, Rogan wrote before adding he's not the guy

to get political information from.

Yes, please don't get your politics from Joe Rogan Jr.

Or whatever his name is, the Joe Rogan experience.

Because he's a bit of a conspiracy theorist.

As is Kennedy.

Here is what the hillwrights, both Kennedy and Rogan

have been critical of vaccines, specifically the COVID-19 vaccine

and spread conspiracies about its efficacy.

Rogan show exclusive despotify is consistently one

of the most popular podcasts in the world.

He conducts long, wide-ranging interviews with the variety of guests,

including comedians, athletes and scientists,

among others.

Kennedy's support has waned.

Wayne Ditalia since his campaign,

since early in his campaign, falling to under 4% support

in polls against former president Trump and VP Harris.

Well, we see some recent polling that would suggest.

Harris is way out in front, at least according to our friend.

Charles Franklin, Marquette University,

law school national polling that dropped yesterday.

When you include the third parties, the RFK Jr. Joe Rogan,

that endorsed candidates.

Well, Harris is up as much as eight points amongst likely voters

over Donald Trump.

So here's what I'm telling you.

We kind of want Joe Rogan to like RFK Jr.

We want to bleed these sort of conspiratorial, young,

blank canvases away from voting for Donald Trump.

And again, Rogan said last week, he believes Harris will defeat Trump in November.

I'm saying it because she could.

I'm not saying it because I think she's going to.

And I'm not saying it because I want her to.

I'm just being honest.

I could see her winning.

Didn't he take all sides in that two Senate statement?

She could win or not win.

I could just see it happening.

That's like saying, you know, both the Packers and Cleveland could win this weekend.

Yeah, but pick a side, pick an outcome.

You know, on occasion you're wrong.

I'm kind of like an NFC North Wildcard team.

I'm like nine and seven.

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

Anybody influential to you politically?

Mike from Muskego, look, uh, musket.

Where are you from, Mike?

All right.

I'm a musk today.

I'm a musk today.

Yeah, I couldn't think of that word today, man.

It must be Friday afternoon, Mike.

Welcome.

What do you got for us?

Randy, who I understand about this sex change thing,

because you guys have been talking about prior to that.

Yeah, how do you, how do you change the chromosome?

Can you explain that to me?

Well, no one does change chromosomes.

Scientifically, Mike, chromosomes aren't changed,

but some people, and

it's like 1.7% of the population,

historically forever since the dawn of time,

we're born into a body that they feel like

doesn't biologically represent how they feel.

I mean, dude, you woke up.

At some point, you reached a state where you said,

I'm a man.

I'm a boy.

And some people have the opposite genitals,

but they feel that way, dude,

and just because it's not you or I, Mike,

doesn't mean that their life experience isn't legitimate.

And I couldn't imagine someone that feels that way that's

put in this area where they're ostracized,

and then we've got politicians making fun of them,

or calling them tampon Tim,

because what a politician tries to provide,

some necessary thing to them.

Mike, you can understand the intent here

is to help some poor kid that needs help.

But you don't go putting tampons in the boys bathroom.

Well, that was an action actually of democratic lawmakers.

It was a damn named fight that championed this legislation.

But if someone is living as a man,

but they may have the biological features of a girl,

and they have a menstruation cycle,

but they don't want to be ostracized.

They don't want to make a public proclamation.

I'm not really a dude.

I'm a girl, and I have a menstrual cycle.

They still have the right to access those menstrual pads,

or whatever they need, Mike.

I mean, thank God it's not you, dude.

You know, thank God we aren't the ones experiencing menstrual cycles.

I'm experiencing one right now,

because that percentage is so small, it's so minute.

So why are you worried about it, dude?

Is it hurting you, Mike?

If somebody else thinks they're a woman,

but they were born with the penis,

how does that change your life when I own a dude?

Well, it doesn't, but I mean, it doesn't change my life,

but why do you care?

I don't want it so much.

Why do I do care if everybody talks about it so much?

That's only the right, Mike.

They make it an issue.

They look for ways to divide us.

Tim Wall said, we got a golden rule.

Mind your own damn business, dude.

Mind your own damn business.

If it ain't happening in your bedroom,

why do you care?

Come back, more Devils Advocates,

Friday grievances,

Aram here,

844-967-2789.

The Devils Advocates,

making radio great again.

Welcome back to the Devils Advocates radio show,

the Friday happier, happy hour.

We're going to take your grievances,

going back to the phone lines momentarily,

but I want to read a headline here from the Washington Post,

and just a little bit more.

Here's why I bring up the Joe Rogan,

the influencer thing.

Joe Rogan suddenly

find in love and affection

for what RFK Jr.

And I don't know if you heard,

but Donald Trump didn't take that very well.

Trump gets very thin skin when anyone says something nice about somebody

that ain't Donald Trump.

Trump lashed out at Joe Rogan.

And Joe Rogan suddenly backed off and said,

well, it's not an endorsement.

Real quick,

here's what Trump said about Rogan.

Former President Trump lashed out at podcaster Joe Rogan.

One day after Rogan,

he praised an independent presidential candidate,

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

What do you say?

A little bit more.

Rogan cost disturbed.

We talked about this when he said that RFK Jr.

big sense to him while also adding that he's the only one that doesn't attack people.

He attacks actions and ideas.

He's much more reasonable and intelligent than apparently Trump,

which of course drove Trump nuts.

And while Rogan didn't explicitly endorse Kennedy, in fact,

came out and said, not an endorsement.

Here, it was written.

It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets booed.

The next time he enters the UFC ring,

Trump wrote on his truth social platform on Friday afternoon.

Megatweet, tweet four.

Now the rant against Rogan came after a challenging week for Trump

that saw him lose ground in the polls to VP Harris.

We know that the re-energized Democrats have pack campaign rallies.

I know I was at one of them.

Trump on Thursday held a press conference and wish he cast out on Harris's crowd size.

Now he claims he had 107,000 at a rally.

And Harris couldn't draw 2000.

I was there.

I I thought it was approximately the size of a coal center crowd

for like basketball game.

I'd say 1518,000.

Trump less convinced when I had to tell a lie that he had been in a near death helicopter crash

with former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown.

Apparently he made that up.

Although Trump, it is being reported, his plane was diverted today, mechanical issues.

So, you know, be careful in the BS stories.

You tell Trump, they just might come true.

844-967-2789.

Your grievances can come true right now.

Time for you.

L.A. Tom.

Welcome back.

What do you got?

Critty, first off, I just need to know how many, you know, the colors that call in.

First off, a lot of these guys, they're really insecure about their own masculinity.

I have to say, my God, I think honestly when you become more truthful to yourself,

you're no longer afraid of this whole toxic mask or anything.

And Tom, I know, as you know, Tom, say it again.

I said, and I'm a gay dude, as you know,

you know, I'm from a small town in Wisconsin of 2,000 people.

Durand, right by O'Clair, I'm a nice person.

I always look at it if someone doesn't like me because of my orientation.

You know what? Too bad for them.

They just messed out on a really great guy.

And how many, seriously, how many transgender people do you guys know in Wisconsin?

How many transgender people do you even know?

You probably don't even know any.

The only way my mom, people are talking about it.

My dad said, on my dad said something to my mom one time.

Critty, she said, I don't understand how a man would want to sleep with another man.

And you know what my mom said?

That's because you're not gay, honey.

It was a pretty simple thing.

And you know, in the same thing, I don't understand, you know, completely,

I don't understand transgender at all.

Even as a gay guy, I don't understand, I guess I'm supposed to,

because I'm going to have this gay card, but I don't understand it.

But you know what?

It's not in my damn business, like Coach Wall says.

It's not in my damn business.

And the thing is, I don't know about you, Critty, but when you were younger,

or when we played sports and we'd have to go to, you know, the opposing team's locker rooms,

sorry to put us in the women's locker room.

I mean, these guys, my god, grow up.

Let me, guys, are like, even over 50 and stuff and you guys are like, you're grow up.

Start taking all of your own masculinity and be confident in your own masculinity.

So you're not sitting there and putting down other people for no reason,

except for your own, um, you know, insecurities about yourself.

Tom, let me ask you a question, buddy.

Tom, let me ask you a question.

Uh, I know you were a football player and guy, son of a coach, if I recall,

you and I know each other personally.

I've been out to LA.

We hung out, I've hung out with your husband, Mark.

We partied with my daughter, Kelsey.

I would consider you a friend, Tom.

I'm asking as much for the sake of the audience is for myself here, dude.

But my question is, as a teenage boy in Durand, Wisconsin,

if you're not gay, who would want to fake it?

Who would want to, you know, I hear these writers all the time talking about,

or some boy is somehow going to fake a transition for the right to get in the girls' locker room

or compete against girls.

And Tom, I'm thinking, man, I didn't want to be ostracized for having the wrong shirt on.

I couldn't imagine being a gay teenager in Durand, Wisconsin, or even,

I don't want to say worse or even perhaps harder for those that don't want to be different

when you're a teenager, someone that feels like they were born biologically different

and needs to transition to that sex.

Who would ever want to do that to themselves?

Unless that's what they feel at their core time.

One hundred percent.

And the thing about it is, these people don't have to live the hell of not liking yourself

and hating yourself from when you're a young and young kid.

I mean, I was more quote unquote semifolvic than I was homophobic,

which I think there's a bunch of semifolvic in the audience as well.

So, you know what, I started lifting weights when I was 10 years old.

I played college ball at St. Norbert College.

I played, I was all state.

I was on the stride ball.

I mean, I basically accomplished all the different things that could.

I had trials with the pros.

You know, don't give me this crap.

And the thing is, a lot of it was a lot of me being afraid of me.

And the thing is, in Wisconsin, because I didn't fish and I didn't hunt,

like my brother did.

I thought I was the afford basically, right?

But I did play sports.

And I did, and I've seldom had all those different things.

But it's not easy growing up in these areas.

So why don't you guys just start saying,

you accept everyone, love everyone for who they are.

You know, some of you people out there are left handed.

When you were younger, you were forced to write with your right hand.

And then all of a sudden, you grew up and guess what?

You went back to your left hand.

Tom, I got to cut you short, man.

It doesn't matter too many, unless it's their kid, their life.

That's the difference.

Democrats have empathy.

More devil's advocates.

The devil's advocates,

political commentary from the back of the class.

Back to the devil's advocates radio show the Friday happier.

Happy hour will all be happier when domes back on Monday.

But we still got some politics and some grievances to air this fine Friday afternoon.

So we're going to hit the phones.

Be patient for just a minute longer.

I see a lot of you out there and we're going to give you each a couple of minutes.

I'm feeling generous, but first a few of the text line submissions,

because some people got bosses watching them and such.

Thanks for the Adam Kinziger clip.

This is Jan from Oak Creek.

Vote Blue, she says.

Eric from Lodi says this.

It's time to start calling out CJ for what he is.

Weird.

Yeah, you're a little weird, CJ.

You're a little weird, dude.

Andrew from Verona says what I've told younger voters is to go online and do something like

all sites, all sides dot com.

Take a short quiz, pretty simple questions, pretty quick.

Does a pretty damn good job of showing you which candidate you will line with?

You won't agree with anyone 100% the time, but it's enlightening.

Yeah, if you don't know which column you fallen, go look it up.

WMDXTactor, thank you, crudy.

I have a trans son.

Why do these A-holes care about people's identity?

Because right wing talk radio and Foxy news tells them it's important who some

Algerian boxer is and whether he or she was born with a penis or a vagina very important to

some people, you know, because they don't have lives.

And they have to defend their political policies.

It's really hard for them to do so.

So just stir up their base.

They've got to find someone to make the it and transgender people.

Tom admitted and Tom's a pretty authentic dude, our friend L.A. Tom.

Tom's gay and he doesn't quite understand transgender people, but you know what?

It's not his gig, doesn't have to, right?

But rather than just being cool, my little buddy Dominic,

we've traveled quite a bit.

Occasionally I find myself in the same hotel room as the guy and I think

Dominic puts up clothes on, man.

He's, you know, his attitude is, well, my

near nakedness bothers you.

That's a problem with you because he's very self-confident in him.

And if it's weird, it's your insecurities.

You know what I mean?

I'm cool with me.

Dom's cool with him.

That's why we get along with each other.

So damn well is, you know what?

We're pretty, we're pretty chill with who we are.

We are self-actualized MFers.

So anyways,

844-967-2789 just be chill with who you are.

Don't worry about the other guy.

That's not your problem.

Don't worry about you.

You got problems.

I guarantee I don't care who you are.

But certainly, CJA, you've got problems.

Andrew from Detroit.

Welcome, sir.

What he got for us?

Do you have grievances?

Hello.

Hey, Crudy.

Hey, Andrew.

How are you?

Good, man.

You know, we've all seen the Shrines commercials on television.

I'm sure when these red idiots,

maggot idiots,

see one of those Shrines commercials,

that's too icky and change the station.

The thing is, this is all genetic.

Yes, there was a genetic problem with these children

that they ended up with the conditions they have.

That has nothing to do with

God doesn't make mistakes or anything.

It's genetic.

So I don't know.

All of this is genetic.

And for what was the LAD?

Here's the thing about trans people.

It's a genetic thing.

They were genetically, they were born in the wrong body.

And now they have a way,

medically, to correct that.

And to go a step further,

what do these people even think about?

How mafricates?

They don't.

They have no concept.

That's a big word.

That's a big word and they haven't heard it.

That's third column.

Unless they got some weird porn kinks band,

they don't even know that exist, Andrew.

What do you do with a child that is born physically

with both genitalia?

I mean, back in the day,

the doctors used to look down and say,

well, it looks more like this or it looks more like that.

They didn't have gene mapping,

then in whatever.

And often they found once the child went into puberty,

whoops, we made a mistake.

But again, they wouldn't even know this.

And to locate yourself, people look into things.

This is genetics.

Andrew, I'm going to cut you short there

because we got a lot of people waiting.

And I think you make excellent points.

But I want to let some other people in.

844-967-2789.

Some very patient people like Tom from Middleton.

Welcome, Tom. What do you got for us?

Madison?

Oh, I'm sorry, Tom.

Yeah, there's people from Middleton,

but you're Tom from Madison.

What do you got for me?

Love your show.

Thanks, man.

I admire, I admire Dave from Madison,

built from a kind of walk in that lone voice,

Jim Hightower.

Love you, man.

Love you, bye.

Appreciate it.

Some shout-outs across the nation.

844-967-2789.

Keith from Middleton.

Welcome, Keith.

What do you got for us?

Hey, Gritty.

And I was really glad to read you.

Like I was talking about the guy from this battle

from Detroit is so right.

You know, what's not long ago,

people were born with two types of

the going-hands and so forth.

And they would just be like,

they would die.

They were going to be like,

people would die.

And it's just ridiculous.

And you know, did you man Joe Rogan there?

Trump is just found a saying

that we have a sick country right now.

He's right, but he's the problem.

And Joe Rogan was right there with him.

Those guys right now,

and the sickness that they're talking about

their spreading is a lack of empathy.

It is borderline personality crap

that they don't understand.

It's so easy to just be you

and hate everybody else.

Because if you actually care about somebody else,

it might cause you a little bit of discomfort.

And discomfort,

we don't want to have discomfort in this country.

The Lord, he can't have that.

So we'll just hate them and put them in a corner

and perhaps even allow them to die

as he was talking about his nephew.

You know, his nephew has fun

who has a genetic problem.

He doesn't recognize you.

Just go ahead and let him die.

Are you serious?

That's what's going on with these people.

It's the serious lack of empathy.

Borderline psychopathy.

Borderline personality disorder.

They're not.

Keith, before you start seeking

seeking profane ways to describe them,

I'm going to keep moving on.

For those that hadn't heard,

Trump's nephew had a child

who had significant medical needs.

And the family trust apparently had been

contributing to this child's medical care.

This was Fred Trump's son.

This was Donald Trump's brothers.

Grand son, effectively, I believe,

with the high-cost medical needs.

And when approached, Trump apparently got very quiet

and thought about it for a while.

And just told his nephew who was making the ask,

you know, why don't you just let him die and move down to Florida.

And that was his response.

That was his answer, his clear lack of empathy.

844-967-2789.

And it's Friday, we air your grievances,

Annie from Watertown.

You're next.

What do you got for us, Annie?

Finally, I have a grievance to that call from Muscaday,

but I was going to call about,

Trump only went to this Montana rally

because he's got a fundraiser over in Jackson,

in Wyoming, Jackson, which, you know, is big money.

And that, I've heard the connection

that the whole idea was to get close

with something that's the...

Well, I think Trump...

In a better way.

Well, from Trump's perspective, Annie,

I've heard Trump claiming he's there to

campaign for Tim Shini, Shihi.

Very similar to the guy that used to run

MMSEA or whatever it was in Milwaukee,

the Chamber there.

They have similar names,

but there is a candidate, a Republican.

And to hear Trump said, you know,

I'm not even here for me.

I'm just here for Tim.

And that candidate is running against John Tester,

who's one of the probably most

vulnerable Democrats in the Senate right now.

But I don't know if I believe in either.

Why would you believe in now, Annie?

He would be a little nervous anyway,

because knowing the kind of people

that he's in bed with,

whether they're GOP or Putin,

he might be better off a martyr than anything else.

And if I were him, I'd be really nervous.

Yeah.

Annie, appreciate your call.

Thank you for listening.

844-967-278,

I'm going to try to sneak a few more grievances in.

Susan, from O'Clayer, welcome, Susan.

What do you got for us?

Yeah, just going right back to

toxic men that purport and yell about

how they don't understand trans kids.

I'm just going to remind everyone

that a lot of those men

in the nighttime hours are dressing up

and female clothes for fun.

So let us not forget,

those people are very insecure with their own selves,

and we need to remind them of that.

And what do you think that is that insecurity,

a biblical insecurity,

anything other than man, woman,

missionary is not acceptable,

according to someone's pastor?

What do you think makes them so sexually insecure, Susan?

It's religion, it's society,

and especially in Wisconsin,

I mean, this toxic male thing here

is off the charts with the hunting

and the you got to be a strong male

or whatever.

People aren't feel free to just be who they are.

And it's just a double standard.

It's like back in the day with Rush Limbaugh,

saying bad things about people that do drugs,

like marijuana.

Well, he's all day popping white collar drugs

in the shape of a pill

that he bought at his pharmacy.

It's the same thing,

but it's just a double standard across the board.

Susan, really appreciate your call.

Thanks for being a part of this fun Friday afternoon.

844-967-2789.

My dragon buddy from the other night,

no Claire Chris from Rice Lake.

How you doing, Chris?

Good. How are you?

Good, man.

I didn't mean to imply anything other

than the fact I had a good time

meeting you the other night, Chris.

That was a lot of fun.

I appreciate it.

I appreciate everything you do.

And I think you end down

for having this forum

where people can get on here

and talk and express their feelings

and not be judged.

I think it's fantastic.

Oh, I'm judging you, Chris.

Don't get me wrong.

I'm judging you.

Well, you know, in a good way, hopefully,

but what do you got today, Chris?

Well, I just wanted to talk to you.

We talked a little bit about

this Katrina Shanklin thing.

What's with these Democrats

getting in line to support her?

I mean, Gwen Moore,

I mean, you're your guy down

and I'm at it.

Mark Polkian.

Steve Olby.

Yeah, Mark Polkian,

Jeff Smith,

all these people are support her.

And she's going around bragging

that she voted with Robin Boss

255 times.

I mean, in a Democratic primary,

why would you do that?

I'm not clear in terms of why she would

cast her support with Boss

as being a positive thing.

I think she's trying to show herself

to be some sort of moderate.

Now, I have a ask.

I'm just checking my text

in real time, Chris,

to find out if they have reached back.

I've reached out to Shanklin's team

as I promised I would

to try and get around

the greatest radio show ever.

Looks like Monday might be best.

We'll circle back later today.

Well, they're running not a day,

but she's not coming on the show today, Chris.

Hopefully we'll hear from Shanklin

on Monday on the Devil's Advocates.

And Tuesday, man, the voters decide.

Tuesday, the third CD,

people like you, Chris,

you get to pick your preference.

But I would say Shanklin has been

in the legislature for 12 years.

And she's probably made some relationships.

Shrewd Smart Politicians do.

That is her claim to fame.

I think she's leaning on

those friendships she's made.

Any other thoughts, quick, Chris?

No, I'm good, man.

You have a great weekend.

All right, best of Mrs.

Chris up there in Rice Lake.

Folks, we have the Devil's Advocates

will continue with more of your grievances

on the other side.

It's Friday afternoon.

We air them.

The weekends almost here.

But we tried to make this a political town hall.

My, well, I guess he's a guy.

I admired quite a bit.

A friendly guy to me, not a friend,

but Ed Schultz used to call it

where America comes to talk.

Well, if nothing else, this is where

Wiscoe comes to talk.

Devil's Advocates 844-967-2789.

Welcome back to the Devil's Advocates

video show one last opportunity for today

to air your grievances here.

844-967-2789.

Call me or text.

I'll try to check the text line at least one more time.

Got a advisory for those of us

living in Milwaukee, which is not me.

But, you know, some of you are,

you as representative,

Winmore and Congresswoman Robin Kelly

to host a Get Out The Early Vote

Block Party in Milwaukee tomorrow.

And it's a little bit of a

Packer pregame event as well.

If you want it to be tomorrow,

ahead of the Wisconsin Primary Election Day

Congresswoman,

Winmore and Congresswoman Robin Kelly.

And she is from Illinois's second CD,

Robin Kelly is will host an early vote

black party in Milwaukee.

The event will encourage Wisconsinites

to vote early and highlight the importance

of talking to friends and neighbors

about the stakes of this November's election.

We do that often here,

including the importance of electing Kamala Harris

and Democrats up and down the ballot.

So Congresswoman more and Congresswoman,

Robin Kelly, a black party in Milwaukee tomorrow.

Join if you're able,

Gail, call it in from the 9-2-0.

How you doing, Gail?

Good, great show, Cody.

My crystal ball is Trump can't stand losing,

especially to the first black woman in history.

Are you kidding me?

It's going to get so dire for Trump.

He will bail.

He will blame everyone else and leave the

Republican Party in chaos and a smoldering

dumpster fire.

Well, from your lips, the God's ears, Gail.

I think he's already losing his mind.

I watched that general press conference

or whatever the hell he had down at Marilago yesterday.

I mean, that was so undisciplined.

His campaign has completely lost control

of the candidate.

This guy can't do anything for his own benefit

at this late hour, Gail.

I mean, when you're rambling,

when you're whining about crowd size,

really, you're losing.

This guy's like a four-year-old child

in a school yard play yard to bully.

I'm taking my toys and I'm going home.

Gail, petulant little punk.

That's what he is, Gail.

Any other quick thoughts, my friend?

No, thanks, Lord.

No, no, no, unreferendum.

Excellent.

Excellent thought, Gail.

Thanks for reminding the audience.

I share your negative feeling about this

effort to sort of boon swaggle the electorate of Wisconsin

through very unclear constitutional referendums.

They really stick it to the governor here,

and Republicans, you know, we've had enough of that.

I can't wait to see the outcome of fair maps here in the state of Wisconsin.

When I say fair maps, we've had the least fair maps,

probably in the nation for like 12 years.

But this elective cycle, it's going to be different.

844-967-2789.

We'll take your calls.

Last chance for your grievances, but I'm checking the text line.

Thank you for shutting down that last caller.

This has been a bit now, about 30 minutes.

Envoicing that great walls line.

Mind your own damn business.

Yeah, I think that's an interesting thought.

Tim Wall said, you know, in Minnesota, we got a golden rule.

Mind your own damn business.

You know, if it's not you or yours,

why do you care what the kid down the street,

who he's sleeping with, what he wants to be,

or what inner weirdness that person's dealing with?

Because we all got our inner weirdness, you know, accepting dumb.

He's comfortable with all parts of himself, his body.

You know, he's just totally chill with himself.

But we've all felt weird at some point.

And this effort to ostracize these kids

that are already so subject to violence,

to being targeted.

And they make them weird.

They try to put them in a corner

and make these kids weird and adults like Tim Walls as an educator.

They would stand with gay students in his school.

Back when it wasn't cool, if you know what I'm saying,

back when they still called it,

smear the you know what?

And there were still derogatory gay words being slung

in every locker room in America.

I mean, this was this was the way it was not so many years ago.

I mean, gay marriage has only been legal

in this nation for a decade for 10 years.

We were at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin Convention.

It was the first day,

damn it, I did a three hour show.

Pretty proud of ourselves.

We were doing three hours and it was Friday.

We're doing it from the Democratic Party Convention.

And it was June, as they always do.

And we had Mike Tadon.

Mike Tad was at that time the Democratic Party chairman

of the state of Wisconsin.

And once upon a time, Mike Tad had been an advocate at Fair Wisconsin.

And Fair Wisconsin was the group that tried to fight

against a constitutional referendum

that would say the gay marriage was banned

constitutionally in the state of Wisconsin.

2006 that passed.

And eight years later on a Friday night

and we had Mike Tate on the air with us

at the time when it dropped

and Tate got emotional.

Because this had been a fight for a decade

trying to what not make it a constitutional

sin against the law to love who you love.

And I was born heterosexual.

And thank God, I guess,

for that because my life would have been a lot more complicated

where that not to be the case.

But I've been married 22 years.

And if I was a gay man and I was in love,

I'd have done what Mark Polkian did.

I'd gone to a foreign country if necessary.

They had my marriage acknowledged and codified.

And the fact that we're still fighting this battle in 2024.

We're trying to make kids

in their weird teenage years.

What?

Ostra sized them, put them in a corner.

Democrats.

We're better than that.

We are better than that.

Kamala Harris and Tim Walls

are going to lead us to a future

that we can be proud of.

Thank you all for listening to the Devil's Advocates.

I'm proud of each and every one.

You stuck right there till the end.

Rich always proud of you and the hard work you do.

Thank you.

We'll do it again on Monday.

Double P back in his chair.

Be the greatest radio show ever once again.
