What else did we miss? 

• LOCAL
  • (00:33:28) Since we don’t care enough about the Portland police killing our neighbors today we ask, how many paid administrative leaves for one officer is too many?

1. (00:01:30) Your mics were still on over intro but honestly it's a bangin remix 😂 new year new youuuu. Welcome baaaaaaaack!
2. (00:01:56) Good morning my fiancés. I've missed you soooooo much. You can't leave us that long again.  Love Jon 
3. (00:07:45) I will now share my opening texts from the past 2 weeks when I thought you were in studio… XOXO RUDO
4. (00:08:27) Good morning fiances. Woke up to news of a new "Portland Police shoot another human in the back and killing them over corporate merchandise" and all the California dude-bros flocking to the social meeds to thank the cops for "animal control".XOXO-RUDO
5. (00:09:03) Happy new year Fiancés. I woke up to the FREE Palestine speech from Malcolm  X in my feed this morning. I'm filled with dread today but sincerely grateful for you two to talk through this with. XOXO-Rudo Baio
6. (00:09:28) WELCOME BACK FIANCÉS!!!
7. (00:09:32) Yo, where the archive uploads at?
8. (00:29:52) But then the venue also stated the problem was the unplanned "political" statement.... how could they know that art might contain politics!?!?
9. (00:36:35) Could someone pay me to not kill anyone? I have a very long resume of not killing anyone.
10. (00:37:03) Also I vow to make "parasocial polycule" happen in 2024. Also getting to some live events with y'all.
11. (00:54:15) I just want to understand why I have heard 0 peeps about primary challenges to Uncle Joe. Like, there are a lot of nightmare scenarios here but I do NOT want to see Nikki Haley on a stage with that husk of a white phosphorous dealer.
12. (01:07:12) There are many things about President Biden has done/not done that I am not happy about but do people think that things will get better for the Palestinian people if Trump returns to the White House? That would be like cutting of a leg to treat a sprained ankle.
13. (01:11:11)Get over it. There hasn't been a serious incumbent challenge to reelection since when? This is the same cry people give for third party candidates. Make as much fun of him if you want, but what president has been more progressive since FDR? Sure, not one candidate is perfect. He is a piece of work in some areas. But the fact is he will be the nominee, like it or not, and if you don't want trump… Biden has been making speeches that the number one issue is protecting democracy. The entire state and federal criminal Justice system is trying to deal with trump... so it sticks...Merrick Garland should be fired.
14. (01:16:00) aaaaand what has genocide joe done for roe??? Crickets. 
15. "The system isn't broken, it's just breaking us" ... wow that's powerful. Could be a whole campaign really
16. Poison Haunt 3: The Hauntening Poisoned!! RUUULED!!!
17. Dem's / Joe's love of Israeli genocide will cost him the election.
18. Probably not better for Palestinians. Difference is trump can be bought off in some scenario or by saudis et Al.
19. And like you say, biden is a proud Zionist.
20. Right! Not a side issue.
21. I'm off the long game strategy. Dems need to learn a lesson over a couple or more elections. Vote third party/green. It's a signal.
22. On the long game
23. Issue with Trump is that he incites violence and racism and for minority communities that's major I don't want him in office
24. I don't disagree with what you're saying (you're still my favorite part of Thursday morning❤️) but if the choice is between bad and pure evil…
25. How are you going to get rid of the electoral college, install a proportional representative government? That's the only way to get rid of the framework that gives us a two party system. A third party will never survive without entirely reworking our constitutional structure
26. Sing it sister!!!
27. Sit in that heat like a sauna. We all need it to clear out the gunk in our society's throat
28. 💜 💜 💜
29. I'm Hispanic. Feel free to text me. Biden at least is not saying openly that immigrants are criminals and inciting insurrection; having open associations with white supremacy groups
30. I do get your point about the system being broken and the lesser of two evils
31. But like you said, be realistic; I don't like Biden either but I prefer him over trump
