TEXTS FROM THIS EPISODE:

2. (00:17:35) Republicans killed the pilot then blamed Democrats for the plane crash.
3. (00:26:21) Tell me where to sign up
4. (00:29:18) Just wanted to say that I became a member last became of shows like NWMF. Thank you for all that you do. I wish I could pay all of you bills. Even your parking. The issues you two talk about are very important. Please don't stop. We'll get there some day. ☮️ 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
5. (00:30:44) Happy Hallowe'en Weekend my fellow Xray HorrOregonians!!! Xoxo Rudoooo!
6. (00:50:54) Ambush you CRAAAAY ZEE! HARD TIIIIMES!! ?? Rudes
7. (00:52:46) You're going to need to clip the audio of Ambush doing that tag and reuse it repeatedly
8. (01:06:28) It's so disturbing that over the last 20+ years, the bar only gets lower and lower for the US government's "don't believe your lying eyes" behavior. They've proven that no one in power even cares about US citizens' lives at home or abroad, so I should stop being surprised.
9. (01:06:48) And let's not forget to call out our own Oregon legislators who are all soooooo progressive that they won't even speak out for the bare minimum of a ceasefire
10. (01:07:08) Wouldn't be surprised if Netanyahu arranged the original festival attack. Crystal
11. (01:07:32) Good morning fiances, sorry I'm late. You 2 are the best, always love the hard hitting news and conversation. I became a founding member for Thom, but I have increased the last 2 years because of you 2. Must confess that last week was the 1st episode I missed since you started. I was in Missouri for my daughters wedding. Love you both please don't stop doing what you do. -Jon Ps please don't stop speaking truth about Gaza
12. (01:10:46) You know she was...Olive is her name
13. (01:12:50) Fwiw Chase, as the person who went and asked all the record stores, can't win 😂 but you can!
14. (01:13:05) Soooo have you stopped paying your taxes? I guess we should vote for the republican next time? It’s Biden or fascism next election, unfortunately… 🤷🏻‍♂️ not an easy time for us… Jon
15. (01:18:35) Thank you for being so perfectly concise about voting
16. (01:19:40) You haven't offered a solution 🤷🏻‍♂️ There is no mechanism for a third party! Learn your civics! There is no way in hell can a third party be effective in national federal elections. It's built into the winner take all system, no matter how many local third pay candidates you vote for. School boards and many local races are non partisan! How are you going to get the two parties give up their power? You need to read this: https://www.heritage.org/conservatism/commentary/project-2025 Progressives need to take over the Democratic Party. That is the only solution.
