Hello from Baehr and Curadh, a podcast from the Land Of Awes Information Services.
I love you, Curadh.
I love you, Baehr.
This is episode 118 of the Baehr and Curadh podcast.
We're going to talk about what's never before.
Okay, there are Republican tickets under lack of class as the president.
I think it's because we only have two parties.
No matter how awful they get, it's the only alternatives those people have.
Yeah, I mean, RFK already dropped out, so I don't know, like, he was going to be a really
big threat or anything, anyway, or there ought to be a law that there have to be three
parties.
Yeah.
There are five parties, so people will have an alternative, but would it really amount
to anything?
You know, I mean, it's always been Republicans of Democrats.
Yeah.
I mean, and they would probably make sure that nothing like that ever happened.
Oh, yeah.
Because everyone has their chances.
So yeah, I don't in Britain, don't they have like 17 parties?
Yeah.
We have like 17 parties, but nobody's heard of any of them except the Republicans, the Democrats.
Yeah.
So the Republicans Democrats don't get a job of buying up or paying off, I guess, people
not to go against their out there.
So I don't know, maybe the Republicans couldn't be so bad if there was an alternative.
Yeah.
And for that to take some of the Democrats down, you know what I mean, I'm not going to click
it all the Democrats, you're angels, some.
There's some bad ones out there also, not as many, but there is some.
But the Republicans, I mean, from the top down, or just awful.
It wasn't that long ago that anybody behaving that way would lose their political career
completely.
And now it's kind of small upon some some guy at the top of the Republicans has lowered
the bars so much that pretty much anything goes.
Yeah.
No, I'm going to get there.
They're fearless leader.
I mean, man does anything he wants says whatever he wants without any repercussions.
So I mean, do is, I don't, maybe he's gotten just a little bit more humble lately, since he
was forced to sit in court and listen to people criticize him without saying anything.
I think he's maybe softened just a tiny, tiny bit.
So I'm taking a shove bullet to the head, I can do that to you too.
Um, I understand that his people said that he watched that footage of him getting shot
over and over and over and over again.
Really?
And it surprised me.
I mean, he's got the original opinion, probably got off on it.
So probably thinks he's bulletproof literally.
Probably.
Unfortunately.
Oh, excuse me.
You've never had a vice presidential candidate who essentially told women without children
that they are worthless.
That's the right.
Didn't you call them cat ladies or something like that?
Yeah.
He's a clown.
Really?
I mean, I mean, he, can you take anything he says seriously?
I mean, he compared his president, you know, the man he's following now, he called him Hitler
once.
Some leaders forced him to have his Republican party.
And now he's--
He's only there to get more votes.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It's all about them, you know.
Maybe they put him in to say that it's ridiculous stuff so that Trump doesn't have to.
Trump will have verbal diarrhea sooner or later.
I'm hoping it happens as we join the, uh, to the Bay.
Well, he also said, uh, Vance also said that he thinks that people with children should get
extra votes.
They should get an extra vote for each child they have.
Hmm.
That's, you know, that's crazy.
And then of itself, it reminds me of, um, trying to think, no, Ireland, Ireland did it based
upon property.
But yeah.
That's said, the more children know, the more votes you have.
Mm-hmm.
For a breeder, you get more power.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
No.
That's ridiculous.
That sounds like something that would come out of the Bible.
Exactly.
And I mean, it's, um, people who have a lot of children are good at one thing having children.
So we don't need, we need them to purge their little notes as everyone else is business.
So.
Uh-huh.
Can you imagine Sussiowmaker telling you what you can and can't do, voting on that with
multiple votes, because she kicked out of she kids.
And, you know, the first words that her mouth is, think of the children.
Yeah.
Exactly.
So, no.
That's craziness.
There's never been a candidate who frequently rants with mostly innate nonsense.
Very true.
Yeah.
I can't stand to watch him for more than five minutes because he just, it's, it's like
word vomit.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And some people find that appealing about them, they think it's cute.
How?
Because it's cute apparently.
I think it looks, I think he makes it look terrible.
Maybe they're thinking if this guy could be president, anybody could.
He's way nowadays, you know, he got enough money.
So.
I mean, he's surprised.
He's the last election.
He couldn't buy the election.
Oh, and he tried to, and then he tried to take it over.
So.
And it just makes me nervous that he went this year.
So.
It makes me nervous that if, even if he's defeated, and another four years, he or one of his
kids will.
Oh, they're going to be like a bad disease and I'm going to go away, but he can never take
power.
He won't, because then it'll be the last thing.
It'll be?
It'll be the last president we have.
Yeah, it'll be the end of democracy if you know it.
So.
Okay.
Never before has a woman's right to control her own health care been removed after being
regarded as a constitutional right for nearly 50 years.
Yeah, that makes me sad.
What can you say about it?
I guess it comes from trying to turn it into a black or white question.
It's not a black or white answer, though.
Yeah, they try to make it be a black or white answer, but it's not.
There's.
And the subtleties of it are lost on a lot of people.
The in vitro fertilization stuff where they fertilize some eggs and freeze them further
and part of that process is sort of to call the ones that won't survive and people are
calling that murder.
God.
And they're not getting, you know, because of that IVF is is in danger in a lot of state.
All the states that have abortion rules.
Nobody wants to do IVF because they're afraid they're going to be considered it.
Yeah.
Hmm.
And that's a subtlety that those people did not consider when they passed those anti-abortion
laws.
Yeah.
It's the people not reading upon their their politics.
Well, and it's when you have people passing laws that don't have don't have to know anything
about what they're passing.
Hmm.
That's very true.
God.
I mean, many children we've murdered, not a very good idea to think about that.
So.
Yeah.
I guess I should say if women can't get an abortion, men can't masturbate because all that sperm
would go to waste.
Yeah.
Go to waste.
I'm going to genocide.
We always make fun of everything we talk about.
We have to.
It makes it better.
It makes it light hearted.
So.
All right.
Never before have so many states ballots had a referendum on women's rights to an abortion.
They're saying it could be anywhere between 12 and 14 states have an abortion referendum
on their ballot.
Okay.
And the reason it's kind of a fuzzy number is because so many groups are pushing to have
it done and so many are pushing to have it to not allow the question and whatever until
actual ballot day, nobody really knows which really they're going to try to throw it
in there the last second that no, but a lot of groups have been trying to remove those
questions because they know what having a question like that on the ballot will do to
their.
Oh, okay.
Hmm.
I mean, here in Kansas, we proved that we were the first ones to have a.
A question like that at 75% of the people who are just overwhelming they came to the polls
to vote for that.
Yeah.
And those people are going to vote for president while they're there.
You don't want them participating.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I mean, it's always at least against people at the vote that's sad that something takes
something like that to get out to do it.
And maybe it proves that when, when there's something really important people will make
a point of the right thing and vote, yeah, that's true.
Well, did you say something that only 2% or 5% of 18 to 29 year old vote?
Yeah.
So it's a central.
Yeah.
So some way, way, way low.
It's just really bad.
It's just sad.
When I grew up, I mean voting was just something that you did.
Yeah.
Like jury duty, you know, it was a, it was a responsibility of society.
Yeah.
That you vote.
That you're doing.
Yeah.
That you're part of society.
I don't really know.
I don't remember my parents instilling that on me or the nuns, but it was just something
that everybody I knew did.
Mm-hmm.
And then when I got into the workforce and saw so many people who said, I'm never, I'll never
vote.
Yeah.
It just shocked me.
Mm-hmm.
It's amazing, isn't it?
Yeah.
But my thing is, if you don't vote, then you don't write the pitch.
Mm-hmm.
I don't want to hear.
Just shut up.
I don't want to hear from you.
I don't want to.
You gave your chance away when you were two ways to get off your ass and go and vote.
And a lot of countries make ballot day, a national holiday.
Should we?
It shouldn't have to stand in line for hours after work to vote.
But pretty much every state has absentee ballots and voting, early voting, and I really don't
know that that's necessary.
Yeah, but I think they need to go skinny.
I think they need to make it as easy as possible.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, even though, I mean, it's already, you really should have to register and just be able
to show up and vote.
Yeah.
But then, can you imagine, you know, because then people will go, the votes are not real.
All of these Republicans are saying voter fraud.
People should have to show an ID to vote.
Won't make that ID your ballot, I mean, and stop all the registry and clap and just say,
show me your ID and I'll let you vote.
Yeah, and that's a good idea.
Yeah.
And that could be done, I mean, like, now they put the donor organ things on the back of
your driver's license, you know, so things like that can be done.
Yeah.
But you're in now they still, they don't want people to vote.
No, they don't.
So, yeah, I mean, because it's the old people who have the time to do it.
Those are the ones, those are the votes they want.
And exactly, your turn or my turn, your turn, never before as a major party presidential
candidate, and how viable for sexual assault and convicted of 34 found just like I said before,
it used to be just a hint of scandal, a hint of politicians career and he has 34 convictions.
And people are, are actually saying, you know, that they want to vote for this guy.
How did politics turn around or change in such a short period of time?
It's going to be put a black eye in office.
Oh, so it's the pendulum sort of back.
Yep.
In my opinion.
And then what's going to happen if Cam, if Camel actually went?
Is this country going to lose its F in mind?
I mean, can you look at people reacting when Obama got out of office?
Yes, true.
When he went into office, I personally saw a lot of racism, but we, our country didn't
dissolve.
No, but I mean, can you imagine a wacker that's going to come out of a right in response
if Camel went?
Oh, for the next election.
It's going to be like a mini Hitler, it's going to, you know, have one now, but
can you imagine just the, yeah, I don't like the way politics swings beckens.
And that has to be because all we have are Republicans and Democrats.
Yeah.
So it allows the extremes on both ends to gather together.
Yeah.
And I mean, would you consider us completely left or completely, I mean, we're obviously
not right, but I don't think we're that far left.
I think we're more central than, I mean, we're left leaning definitely.
And I mean, we're not so far left where who was that politician we were watching on the
news this morning, Barry Bernie Sanders Bernie Sanders, now he's like the definition of left.
Yeah.
But I agree with most everything he says, he's an independent though.
So, but no, I agree with a lot of what he says to saying that people just don't, they
view him as a socialist, yeah, socialist, so, but he brings up some valid points.
And you come down to it, every country has, it's social as we do.
We do.
We have firemen and police, public schools, food programs, health care for some people.
Well, health care, no, not really.
I mean, for some, but you know what I mean, it's, it's, it's, they're all socialists.
And you know, those are things that all originated out of insurance.
It used to be, there wasn't a city fire department.
It was the fire department that your insurance company paid to protect your house.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
I don't know.
In recent years, there has never been a democratic party as unified as it is now.
I don't know.
Definitely.
Really?
Uh-huh.
There have been other times, you know, like during the Great Depression, whatever, in recent
memory, I think a lot of people were going to vote just because, you know, for the lesser
of two evils, but, uh, Kamala Harris now gives them someone to vote for instead of some
to vote against.
Someone that gives them hope.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
I just hope she doesn't really do.
Well, think, think about it, she can't lose.
Yeah.
I mean, if she wins, she wins.
If she loses, she says, I only had three months.
Yeah, that's true.
Does she run again?
Well, the term limits only apply to presidents, I think.
And unless she becomes president in the next 90 days, I don't think they can argue any more
than two terms.
Yeah.
Okay, never before has a major party replaced its original candidate on the ticket, which
has three months remaining before the election.
Nope, never happened before.
Well, we're in.
What is that Chinese curse, may you live in interesting times?
I don't know.
We definitely are living in interesting times.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Yeah, it's, um, there's really nothing to say about it.
I mean, it's the truth.
Um, I think it's funny how the rights will piss off about it, because I think the right
party can be considered and they want to get spied and they're going to win no matter what.
Yeah.
And they, they pinned all their hopes on that and now they don't have that to go back
on.
Yeah.
And it seems like the party's been scrambling ever since it happened to me anyway.
And Trump, I mean, he hasn't been doing nearly as many rallies and of course that probably
could happen to you if somebody tried to shoot you, in fact, I just saw you know, a picture
of Vance talking about a school shooting saying that it's school shootings is just a fact of
life and gun control is not necessary and he's standing behind bulletproof glass while
he says it.
Exactly.
Yeah.
And then the secret service that's all gathered around them in case only that's like a
punch out of them.
Yeah.
It's so easy to cast stones to jokes right themselves.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah.
He's one more run.
All right.
You want to get this done, don't you?
No, not really.
No.
I mean, it is opening football weekend, but we got time.
Ever before has a black woman run for president as a major party nominee?
Instrom.
No, I mean, I guess when she ran before, but she didn't really make it that far, did she?
I don't think she ever became a nominee for Republican or for Democrats.
No.
You're right.
No.
She just, that's when she threw a Biden under the bus, the one she was riding on and the proverbial
was.
Um, no, I think it's great.
I mean, it's, I didn't say that voter registration for black women went up 175%.
I think I've read that.
Wow.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
It's sad that it takes something like time to do it, but I'm all for it.
And once again, it's giving somebody, somebody to vote for.
They can relate to.
So they see themselves in that zone, so that's, that's great.
That makes me real happy.
Never before has voting been so important on such a broad range of issues.
Very true.
And, but I think it's, I think more so now than not unless they ever, but everything passed.
Yes.
Well, I've been following politics for a long time, and every election, they always say,
this is the most important election or you've got to vote for us.
And, but I know it just seems more real this time.
There's so many issues involved right now.
That's why.
Uh-huh.
And things we didn't talk about, like Israel and, and Ukraine.
Yeah.
The immigration problem.
I mean, I imagine if that guy had his thumb on the nuclear button, it wouldn't be the
end of the world, but it would be the end of civilization, earth would just go right
on.
But humans probably could be pretty much wiped out.
It would take a while, but it would happen.
Maybe that's what I ain't saying that, maybe that's what I think in human history, they say
that something like humans have been around about a million years and 13 times in that, during
that, that time period, it's gone down to, like, as little as 12 people.
Oh, really?
Huh.
Epigenetics, they can, can, so we're all related, that we're all related then.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
That's crazy.
It's interesting, though.
Mm-hmm.
So, what's your joke this week?
My joke this week.
How many Supreme Court justices does it take to change a light pole?
Nine.
All of them.
Oh, no, how many?
Two.
One to change it, and another one to change it back again.
That's good.
That's a good one.
That's a real good one.
Do you come up with that?
Yes.
That's a good one.
I like that.
Okay.
