0:56

Hello? And welcome to Daily Beans

0:58

for Thursday, January twenty six, twenty twenty

1:00

three. Today, the Department of Justice

1:02

will not make the two classified

1:05

documents found at Storage facility in West

1:07

Palm Beach, part of its criminal investigation

1:09

into Donald Trump. The National Archives

1:12

is weighing asking past presidents and

1:14

vice presidents to look for classified documents

1:16

in their homes and offices. Lawyers

1:18

for the Washington Post are deposing ex

1:20

Devon Nunez aides in a libel

1:22

suit and Facebook and Instagram

1:24

are letting Donald Trump back on their

1:26

platforms. I'm Alison Gil, and I'm Dana

1:28

Goldberg. Hi

1:32

Dana.

1:33

Hi, Jane. Now we have switched. You are

1:35

in New York, and I'm in Los Angeles.

1:38

Yes. So if you hear sirens or an echo

1:40

y room, it is because I am on the

1:42

road. So my apologies. I'm not

1:44

in studio, but been traveling

1:46

all day, but not going to fail

1:48

to bring you the

1:49

news. There's a lot of today. How how how

1:51

was your day? Day was wonderful. Had another great

1:53

day with mom. The weather's gorgeous

1:55

in Southern California. We got to

1:57

put our feet in the sand and

2:00

just had a nice walk with some friends. So

2:02

she's lovely. My mother's a mention

2:04

if you're at all familiar with

2:06

the the Jewish tradition

2:08

and vernacular. You will

2:10

know that that just means she's a really wonderful woman.

2:12

So I'm grateful she's here and have time together.

2:15

That's awesome. I noticed in your text messages

2:17

you referred to her as the Madre. I call my mom

2:19

Madre. Yeah. I call her mom MUM

2:21

sometimes because I

2:23

did a a month stint at the French

2:26

Festival in Scotland in two thousand

2:28

three, and so I started signing my

2:31

my emails oh, I started

2:33

dear mom, and then she would sign

2:35

her love mom, and then what that

2:37

was two thousand three. So twenty

2:39

years later, I still call her mom.

2:43

I I love Edinburgh French. That is

2:45

such a fun

2:45

festival. I need to go back. Oh, it was

2:47

the best. Yeah. Same. It was an

2:49

incredible experience. Alright. Well,

2:52

friend, we have a lot of news. There's some important

2:54

news today that's kind of flying under the radar. So

2:56

let's to it. Let's hit the hot notes. Hot

2:58

notes. Alright.

3:01

First up from Hugo Lowell at the Guardian,

3:03

and I consider this to be an

3:06

extremely important piece of

3:08

news. It's flying under the radar like I said,

3:10

but this to me is the

3:12

lead story today, two documents that

3:14

Donald Trump's legal team returned to the justice

3:16

department last year after retrieving

3:18

them from a private storage unit in Florida

3:20

as part of an additional search for materials.

3:23

Were marked classified at the

3:25

secret level according to sources familiar

3:27

with the matter. The materials included

3:29

one document marked as secret on the cover

3:31

page and a second document marked

3:33

as secret with its classified attachment

3:36

removed according to one of the sources.

3:39

And what's interesting to me

3:41

Dana is this you know, how they

3:43

found a bunch of empty folders. Yeah.

3:45

In Donald Trump, I wonder if he thinks that by

3:47

removing them from the folders, that

3:50

that's declassifies them. Like,

3:55

can do you imagine It

3:58

doesn't say it anymore. It doesn't say classified.

4:00

I I took the photos as cool, keepsakes,

4:03

and so that means the documents

4:05

inside aren't classified. We'll see. But

4:07

Trump's lawyers told the department that

4:10

was an indication that the document

4:12

is no longer classified. So, Interesting

4:17

concept. The two documents were found

4:19

inside sealed boxes that appeared to have

4:21

been unopened, from when they were

4:23

shipped down to the storage unit in Florida

4:25

near Trump's Mar a Lago resort from the White

4:27

House at the end of the Trump administration. This

4:29

is what the lawyers told the justice department.

4:32

Since the two documents were returned as

4:34

soon as the lawyers were informed of the

4:36

discovery, The Department of Justice

4:38

is not expected to include them

4:40

as part of their wider criminal investigation

4:42

into Trump's retention of national security

4:44

information and obstruction of justice.

4:47

Let me repeat that. Because

4:49

the documents were returned as soon as they

4:51

were found, the DOJ is not

4:53

going to include them as part of their

4:55

criminal probe. I had

4:57

previously said those two documents likely

4:59

didn't implicate Donald in a crime because

5:01

he probably didn't know they were there.

5:03

Which means Biden and Pence will likely

5:05

not be charged with crimes either.

5:08

You remember, Dana, when I said,

5:10

That's why the non classified material

5:12

in the Trump documents case was so important.

5:15

That's why they went back to get all that stuff back from

5:17

the special master. Those non

5:19

classified documents found with the

5:21

classified documents proves they

5:23

prove Trump had active possession.

5:25

And knowledge of the classified material

5:27

that he failed to return pursuant to

5:29

that May twenty twenty subpoena. Classified

5:32

documents were found in his desk commingled

5:34

with non classified documents. Those

5:37

non classified documents were dated

5:39

after Donald left office. That is evidence.

5:41

That Donald possessed the classified

5:44

documents and willfully held them, which is

5:46

against the law. Of course, Redwing

5:48

trolls dragged me on Twitter for saying such foolish

5:50

things. But the fact remains, Donald

5:52

broke the law and Biden and Pence

5:54

did not, and these two documents

5:57

found in that storage shed

5:59

will not

5:59

be. Criminally investigated.

6:01

Thank you so much for that. Okay.

6:04

This is from Jacqueline Alimini, and

6:06

this she's at the post. The national

6:08

archives, well, it's weighing whether to ask

6:10

living former presidents and vice presidents

6:12

at this point to review their personal records

6:14

to verify that no classified materials

6:16

have been inadvertently outstanding, and

6:18

that's according to two people familiar with the

6:20

discussions who spoke on the condition of anonymity

6:22

to detail private conversations.

6:26

Now, the deliberation comes after the

6:28

discovery and return of a limited

6:30

number of records bearing classified markings in

6:32

recent weeks at president Biden's

6:34

home and the think tank bearing his

6:36

name as well as the home of the former vice

6:38

president Mike Pence. Now, more

6:40

than a hundred classified documents Also

6:42

were found by the FBI last year when

6:44

they searched. The former guys plays

6:46

at Mar a Lago, and that's capping

6:48

a a nearly year long quest to

6:50

retrieve documents from Trump,

6:53

a year long quest.

6:55

Now the search came after more than two hundred classified

6:57

documents found at Mar a Lago had been turned over

6:59

to the archives in the justice

7:01

department. Do you think we could turn do you

7:03

think we could turn that into a video game?

7:05

The quest for the documents and, like, you

7:07

work it in the national archives and then the

7:09

final boss is Trump at Mar a

7:11

Lago and

7:11

it's, like, all

7:13

in, like, sixteen bit and you have to, like, get

7:16

the classified documents. Well, I yeah.

7:18

I feel like at this point we could have little characters

7:20

being like who you wanna be and then you just go

7:22

around searching for classified documents and see if you

7:24

can find

7:25

them. Like, an all kind of thing. You

7:28

you find one in his desk and you hold it up in

7:30

the air and it's like, did, did, did, did,

7:31

did, and they, you know, like,

7:33

got a closet. Natural. You

7:36

keep going. Keep going.

7:39

That's a menu for McDonald's. Okay.

7:41

The national archives, they did not

7:44

comment, they declined to do so.

7:46

And the list of former presidents and

7:48

vice presidents could include former presidents,

7:50

Barack Obama, George W.

7:52

Bush, Clinton Carter, and

7:54

former vice president, Dick Cheney, Al Gore,

7:56

Dan Quail. Dan Quail

7:58

is, like, how do you spell classified document?

8:01

An adviser to Obama's office who

8:03

spoke on the condition of anonymity because they

8:05

are not authorized to speak on the record.

8:07

Told the Washington Post on Tuesday

8:09

that all classified records from his time in the

8:11

White House had been submitted to the National Archives

8:13

upon his leaving office and that the agency

8:15

continues to assume physical and legal

8:17

custody of Obama's materials. I

8:19

feel like Michelle Obama would have been like, you

8:21

need to leave all this shit here. I don't want it near

8:23

the house. I don't want it to be an accident. I

8:25

don't wanna remember any of this. We are leaving

8:28

Politics. Now, the recent

8:30

discoveries underscore the limitations of the

8:32

Presidential Records Act, which governs

8:34

how documents are former presidents and vice presidents

8:37

are handled. And under the act,

8:39

the archives takes ownership of millions

8:41

of presidential papers from the outgoing

8:43

president as soon as a new president is sworn

8:45

in. While items deemed personal, go

8:47

home with the former president. Classified

8:49

materials are all considered government

8:51

property, but compliance can be

8:53

an issue because of the massive volume

8:55

of materials. When Biden

8:57

officials say that classified papers found

8:59

recently at his home in garage in

9:01

Wilmington, Delaware and his office in Penn

9:03

Biden Center for diplomacy and global

9:05

engagement in Washington they were

9:07

inadvertently mishandled and quickly

9:09

disclosed and returned to the national archives as soon as they

9:11

found them, they were like, oh, shit. These aren't ours.

9:13

Send them back. Well, Greg

9:15

Jacob, who's a lawyer for Pence,

9:17

said the former vice president gave permission

9:19

to the FBI to collect classified

9:21

documents from his home last week after a lawyer

9:23

found what Jacob called, quote, a small

9:25

number of documents bearing classified

9:27

markings during the search of Pensus Indiana

9:29

home. No classified documents were found at

9:31

the offices of Pensus organization

9:33

advance seeing American freedom, which

9:35

-- Mhmm. -- you know,

9:37

whatever. But it's fairly funny. There

9:39

was an interview going around where they asked,

9:41

you know, Pence, did you in the

9:43

classified documents and Pence Pence's face,

9:45

so that always smells like he just

9:47

farted. It's just like, no.

9:50

No. But his head is nodding yes. That during

9:52

the whole time, no, I did not take any

9:53

classified. Yes, I did. Yes, I

9:56

did. Yeah.

9:58

But he you know, he didn't know.

10:00

And that's very common. It happened

10:02

to Biden. It even happened to Trump with those

10:04

two classified documents in the

10:06

storage unit. Yeah. And I think we

10:08

need to digitize our national

10:10

secrets. This is just getting silly.

10:12

Up next, from Gerstein and Cheney

10:14

at political, attorneys for the Washington

10:16

Post have been deposing x

10:18

AIDS of Devin Nunes as the

10:20

newspaper fends off the former

10:22

lawmakers' libel suit connected

10:25

to that unusual midnight

10:27

Uber run that Nuna has made to the

10:29

White House in twenty seventeen.

10:31

At a court hearing Wednesday, a lawyer for the

10:33

newspaper indicated that it had subpoenaed and

10:35

spoken with several staffers in pursuit of new

10:37

details about Nunez's March twenty first

10:39

twenty seventeen visit to the White House. To review

10:41

classified intelligence as well as

10:43

his decision to travel to the White House the

10:45

next day and brief

10:47

Trump. Among those attorneys,

10:49

Michael Ellis, a former Newness aid

10:51

on the House Intelligence Committee, who

10:53

later worked in the Trump White House,

10:55

and Jennifer Morreau, known as

10:58

his longtime scheduler. Now if

11:00

Michael Ella sounds familiar, Dana, he's the

11:02

one who stashed the Zelensky call

11:04

transcript in that code word classified

11:06

NICE system to hide it

11:08

from a broader audience. And

11:10

Trump wanted to install Michael Ellis

11:12

at the in the final days of his

11:14

presidency, but the NSA was like, no

11:16

bro, fuck off. And he

11:18

never actually ended up there. But I think

11:20

Trump wanted to burrow him in there. So

11:22

maybe he get access to classified documents

11:24

he wasn't entitled to post presidency.

11:26

That's just beans. In

11:29

late twenty twenty, Nunez sued the

11:31

Washington Post He alleges his complaint that a

11:33

post story published earlier that year labeled

11:35

Nunez's visit to the White House a midnight

11:37

run aimed at buttressing

11:39

Trump's baseless claims that he had

11:41

his wires tapped while

11:43

he was by the way,

11:45

you don't have your wires tapped. You have your

11:47

phone tapped. It's called the wire tapped.

11:50

But Trump said he had his wires

11:52

tapped while he was a candidate for president,

11:55

and the the post said that was erroneous

11:57

intended to imply nefariousness the the

11:59

post report came amid escalating probes related

12:01

to the Trump campaign's contacts with Russia

12:04

and as Trump attacked intelligence

12:06

agencies pursuing the matter. After

12:08

the story was published, the post added a correction

12:11

to the top of it, noting that Nunez

12:13

had stated he did not believe the wiretapping

12:15

claims and that his visit to the White House

12:17

took place during daylight hours.

12:19

The litigation is one of a flurry

12:21

of lawsuits known as filed against news outlets

12:23

and post attorneys have accused him in court

12:25

of wielding the litigation for political and

12:27

fundraising purposes. They have

12:29

told the judge, in their case, they are

12:31

seeking evidence from Nunez and his aides

12:34

about both the circumstances of the twenty

12:36

seventeen White House

12:36

trip, which could help prove accuracy of

12:39

the paper's reporting. This is what's called Discovery

12:41

Dana. This is where you fucking

12:43

are really sorry that you filed a lawsuit because now

12:45

you have to tell everybody why you

12:47

went to the White House in twenty

12:49

seventeen. Right. And not lie about

12:51

it. Yeah.

12:52

And they're also looking for evidence

12:54

about how Newness has sought to benefit

12:56

from this litigation. Among the evidence

12:58

the post is obtained is an official visitor

13:00

log showing that Nuna has arrived at the White House at

13:02

five thirty PM on March twenty first, Nunez

13:05

estimates he remained there for about ninety minutes

13:07

before attending a Republican party

13:09

function and then an after party with

13:11

constituents and a house colleague

13:13

at the time former rep George

13:15

Holding, Republican from North Carolina.

13:17

But during the nearly two hour hearing

13:19

on Wednesday, district court judge

13:21

Carl Nichols shited Nunez and his

13:23

attorney Steven Biss for what

13:25

he described as incomplete responses to

13:27

the post demands for information discovery

13:29

about the twenty seventeen White House

13:31

trip. The post had asked and

13:33

Nichols ordered, Nunez, to

13:35

produce a detailed itinerary about his

13:37

whereabouts and actions on that day, and

13:39

received just three paragraphs in response,

13:41

emitting key details about where he

13:43

wasn't who he was with. Quote,

13:45

that's not a timeline. That could not

13:47

be more general, Nichols

13:49

complained to Biss. Now

13:51

Biss filled in some of those details at Wednesday's

13:54

hearing, prompting judge Nichols to suggest

13:56

the information should have been turned over to the

13:58

post during discovery. Why are you fucking telling

14:00

me? You have to be

14:02

responsive to the discovery and interrogatories.

14:05

Quote, this isn't about telling me orally what

14:07

you think happened, said the judge who

14:09

is a Trump appointee by the way.

14:11

The postcontended Nunez's limited production

14:13

of information about his visit defied

14:15

Credulity. He told the paper

14:17

that only his former spokesman,

14:19

Jack Langr, had

14:21

relevant details about that trip and that he never

14:23

emailed texted or spoke to any other aides

14:25

or colleagues about it. This, the

14:27

lawyer, Nunez's lawyer, indicated Nunez

14:29

couldn't recall precisely how he arranged

14:31

a visit, but believed he coordinated it with

14:33

Michael Ellis on a classified phone

14:35

line and treated even the

14:37

logistical details about the visit classified.

14:39

Quote, everything related to this meeting was

14:41

classified, said this. But

14:43

Nichols noted that Nunez discussed the visit

14:45

publicly the next day. Whoopsie.

14:49

And Washington Post Attorney Nicholas

14:51

Gamsey said that Ellis' own deposition

14:54

contradicted aspects of that story. Ellis,

14:56

he said, recalled stepping out of a secure room

14:58

to reach Nunez on his personal phone,

15:00

not a classified line, and

15:02

Ellis told the paper that he might have texted

15:04

with Nunez about it. Yet,

15:06

Nunez produced no call records or texts in

15:08

response to the court's discovery order.

15:10

GAMZY contended that Nunez's claim to

15:12

have so little to produce in response to the

15:14

court's order begged belief.

15:17

Ellis, he said, also

15:19

recalled discussing the documents Nunez reviewed

15:21

with other Nunez staffers on the

15:23

intelligence committee and Nunez provided no

15:25

details about when and how he departed from the

15:27

White House to attend the GOP function,

15:30

including whether he traveled with anyone or took

15:32

a car, for which a receipt would be available if

15:34

he

15:34

did. We haven't gotten a straight answer.

15:36

GAMZY complained. Judge Nicole said he

15:38

intended to rule on the post complaints quickly

15:40

to keep the case moving forward.

15:42

Thank you so much, AG. Alright,

15:44

the former guy. Yep. His

15:47

Facebook and Instagram accounts are being reinstated.

15:49

In the social media giant

15:51

meta, They announced that Wednesday a little more

15:53

than two years after he was suspended from the

15:55

platforms over subsidiary posts on

15:57

the January sixth riot at the

15:59

capital. While Trump's accounts will be reinstated

16:02

in the coming weeks and come with,

16:04

quote, new guardrails in

16:06

place to deter repeat offenses. This

16:08

is from Nick pledge. He's

16:10

the president of global affairs at Meta. He

16:12

said that in a statement. Meta owns Facebook

16:14

and Instagram. Now those

16:16

guardrails will include quote, heightened

16:18

penalties for repeat offenses,

16:20

penalties, which will apply to other

16:22

public figures whose accounts are

16:24

reinstated from spensions related to civil

16:26

unrest under our updated

16:28

protocol. In the event that mister Trump

16:30

posts further violating content,

16:32

The content will be removed and he will

16:34

be suspended for between one

16:37

month and two years depending on the severity

16:39

of the violation. This is again from CLEG.

16:41

He said on the company's website. Trump

16:43

celebrated the announcement on his social media

16:45

platform, truth social, and this is

16:47

a quote, Facebook, which

16:49

has lost billions of dollars in value since

16:52

deplatforming your favorite

16:54

president, me, has just

16:56

announced that they are reinstating my

16:58

account. Such a thing should never

17:00

again happen to sitting president or

17:02

anyone else who is not deserving of

17:04

retribution. This is what he wrote on True

17:06

Social. He is a fucking

17:08

moron. The move by meta comes

17:10

weeks after the time frame Facebook gave itself

17:12

to reevaluate the twenty twenty one decision and

17:14

shortly after Republicans, many of whom have

17:16

been critical of Facebook's decision

17:19

regained control of the House of Representatives.

17:21

Well, mm-mm. Uh-huh. Then

17:23

house minority leader and now house

17:25

speaker, Kevin McCarthy vowed to,

17:27

quote, reign in big tech power over our speech

17:30

after Facebook announced the duration of Trump

17:32

suspension in twenty twenty one. Trump's

17:35

presidential campaign officially petitioned the

17:37

social media giant to allow Trump back on

17:39

the platform earlier this month.

17:41

And this is a quote, we believe that the ban on

17:43

president Trump's on Facebook has dramatically distorted and

17:46

inhibited the public

17:48

discourse. This is from Trump's campaign.

17:50

Yep. That's what they wrote in its January

17:52

seventeen letter to Meta, and it's according to a

17:54

copy of the letter reviewed by NBC

17:56

News. About a year after leaving office,

17:58

Trump launched True Social,

18:01

or he's posted content that's included fraudulent

18:03

stolen election claims and post promoting q

18:05

and on conspiracy theories. In

18:07

his statement, Wednesday, Craig said

18:10

meta's up updated protocol addresses these

18:12

types of posts, which

18:14

do not violate its community

18:16

standards but contribute, quote,

18:18

to the sort of risk that materialized on January

18:21

sixth. So he's saying that it contributed

18:23

January sixth, but didn't violate their

18:25

fucking rules. And this is another quote

18:27

we may limit the distribution of such

18:29

posts and for repeated instances may

18:31

temporarily restrict access to our

18:33

advertising tools. This step would mean that

18:35

content will remain visible on mister

18:37

Trump's account but would not be distributed

18:39

in people's feeds even if

18:41

they follow him. Which

18:43

will be hidden screaming into the void, apparently.

18:45

We may also remove the Re

18:47

Share button from such posts and

18:49

may stop them being recommended

18:52

or run as ads. This is again

18:54

from plug. Trump's reach on social

18:56

media is not nearly not

18:58

nearly as large as it was on the

19:00

other plat earns. He's slightly more than four point eight million

19:02

followers on True Social, and that's

19:04

compared to nearly eighty eight million

19:06

on Twitter and thirty four million on

19:08

Facebook, and I'm sure that includes a lot of

19:10

fucking Russian bots. So let's remember

19:12

that. Some advisers have said Trump might

19:14

be limited in posting on

19:16

other platforms given his relationship with true

19:18

social. The site has

19:20

declined to comment about any alleged

19:23

limits, and a spokesman for Trump has said the

19:25

campaign believes he'll be able to return

19:27

to Twitter as before even though

19:29

Trump says he doesn't want to, so we'll see.

19:31

And on Wednesday, Schiff,

19:33

who we love, blasted Meta's

19:35

decision on Twitter. And this is again from Schiff, Trump incited

19:37

in the insurrection and tried to

19:39

stop the peaceful transfer of power. He showed

19:41

no remorse, no contrition.

19:44

Giving him back access to social media platform to

19:46

spread his lies and demigodgery

19:48

is dangerous. Facebook caved.

19:51

Giving him a platform to do more harm.

19:53

A hundred percent agree with battleship on

19:55

this. I think it's gonna be

19:58

disastrous. And it'll be really

20:00

interesting to see how long it takes them to

20:02

violate the

20:02

rules. I think it's gonna be instantaneous, but

20:04

we'll see if they actually do anything

20:07

about it. Yeah. And it

20:09

doesn't violate our terms of service, and

20:11

so we'll just throttle back his

20:13

distribution of his posts and you

20:15

know, maybe it won't show up in people's feeds, but, you

20:17

know, we should let them back on absolutely

20:20

fucking

20:20

bonkers. Yeah. III can't I

20:23

can't understand it.

20:24

Alright. After that, we're gonna need some good

20:26

news. If you have any good news, send it to us at daily

20:28

beans pod dot com and click on contact. We'll be

20:30

20:32

20:35

messages, we'll be right back.

Uh-oh. Dana, why don't you take the first

22:01

couple? Absolutely not. You already started. I

22:03

think you should continue. I

22:06

would never wanna take your voice away from you, Alison Gil.

22:08

Please continue. Well, let me see

22:10

what the second one says.

22:30

sixth.

22:30

And I'm gonna support I'm gonna

22:33

support you in this and I will help you with anything

22:35

you need. Because you're a sweetheart and I'm

22:37

an asshole. Good Jane

22:39

says, hello, beans, queens. I

22:41

am submitting a correction that really

22:43

shouldn't be a correction, but Indiana.

22:45

In discussing the finding of classified documents

22:47

at former vice president of the

22:49

United States, Pence's home in Carmel, Indiana

22:51

used the pronunciation of Carmel.

22:54

Like in California, but it's caramel, like the

22:56

flavor. This is the state that

22:58

pronounces nearly everything wonky because

23:00

Indiana, some examples. La

23:02

Fountaine is La Fountain.

23:05

Rushville is Rouscheville. Chili

23:08

is Shilai. Okay?

23:11

And Milan is Mylan.

23:13

Some pronunciations reverting back to their

23:15

origins after decades of Indian

23:17

occasion include Peru, formerly Peru,

23:19

and Brazil, formerly Brazil. It's

23:22

a hodgepodge of the bizarre that's

23:24

mixed in with Mexico, Denver Santa Fe,

23:27

Napanee and even Gilead.

23:29

It is the bible belt, after

23:31

all, Sci. The Daily Beans is a very

23:33

first podcast I've ever listened to, and now

23:35

I'm hooked. I have a forty minute drive to school every morning

23:37

and I appreciate the breakdown of the fuckery to

23:39

start my too early

23:40

day. Thank you, ladies. I raise my travel

23:42

mug to you. Thank you, Jane.

23:45

Thank you. Chain. Indeed. Alright. This is Shim Joonie's

23:47

pronouns. She and her, we got Sven from

23:50

shelter from the storm when he

23:52

was too. Changes name to Max,

23:54

and he's now thirteen. He's a dachshund

23:56

mix, loves the fireplace, and

23:58

sleeping under blankets, hates having

24:00

pictures taken. Oh,

24:02

he's so cute. He really is

24:04

adorable. Is Ren

24:07

Hu ex cousin on

24:09

Renin Stimpi? And and

24:11

every time Sven came to visit, they would play Don'tWiz

24:13

on the electric fence, which --

24:15

Yeah. -- so cute.

24:18

Just

24:18

Well, trivia for you. Look at him. Look at out the

24:20

window. Oh. You wanna take the

24:22

next one too? Sure. Why not? This is from Lindsay,

24:24

pronoun she and her. Hi, A. G.

24:26

And Dana. I'm a listener in the United Kingdom. I

24:28

thought I might give you a chuckle to find out how

24:30

I found your podcast. I've been fascinated

24:33

by US politics all my life.

24:35

So naturally, I followed many democrat and

24:37

liberal journalists on Twitter before and

24:39

throughout the Trump presidency. But

24:40

it was when Angela Landsbury

24:43

died that my attention was drawn to Mueller,

24:45

wrote on Twitter. I should have realized

24:47

but misread it as murder

24:49

she wrote. I clicked the follow expecting

24:51

to find little gems from CABIC

24:54

Cove or even a nod to Angela's exceptional performance

24:56

in the original manchuring candidate

24:58

film, I soon realized my happy

25:01

accident. It didn't take long for me to

25:03

discover the Daily Beans in Jack, which

25:05

I now listen to every morning,

25:07

was was walking my Congress manual

25:09

body in the beautiful Coik

25:11

is Coik is Gladys

25:14

shares. Thank you. Say it

25:16

again. Gladys to share. Gladys to

25:18

share. It's that's Gladys to

25:19

share. Guessing.

25:20

Oh, I'm guessing. But it's I I think it's

25:23

Gloucestershire. Alright. Or

25:25

Gloucester. It might even be Gloucester. It's

25:28

Gloucestershire countryside. I now fully understand

25:30

how you guys felt having Trump as a

25:32

president. You all knew he'd be a

25:34

disaster, but the same way we knew Liz Truss

25:36

would be utterly hopeless. I

25:38

particularly enjoyed your recent Trump

25:40

Humper's comments. Me

25:42

too. Here's a picture of our

25:44

gorgeous working cocker's Daniel mainly

25:46

named because our daughter thought it would

25:48

be funny for my husband to walk into our

25:50

local pub and people say he

25:52

was Bonnie and Clive. Almost

25:55

quiet. Very cute. I get it. Thanks

25:57

for all the insight and sheer

25:59

joy each day, and that cocker's

26:02

adorable. What a beautiful bit? I love the

26:04

pink coat. And now,

26:05

Lindsay, welcome. I love it. That was such

26:07

a happy accident. Glister

26:10

Glister Sure. Mhmm. I'm not sure.

26:12

I've only seen the holiday once and I don't think

26:14

they talk about it.

26:15

Wow. Chester shy -- Yeah. --

26:17

about glow glow glow glow glow glow

26:19

glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow glow moisture.

26:26

So Yeah. That's true. I know Lindsay will

26:28

write in. I hope Lindsay will write it,

26:30

buddy of us. But yeah. Tell us how to

26:31

pronounce, like, a brochure. Sure. I

26:34

think it's close to sure.

26:36

I could be totally wrong. I'm not sure,

26:38

but a lovely, absolutely

26:40

beautiful photo. Next from

26:42

Elise. No pronouns given my dearest a

26:44

g and d j bean queens. I

26:46

live in a farm and I work at home so I

26:48

can sometimes lose track of the day,

26:50

me too, as I don't usually write

26:52

it or see it written. I write it

26:54

every day and say it every day, so how bad am

26:56

I, Elyse? I love listening to

26:58

your podcast every day while I do my chores yesterday, and

27:01

especially full play. Trying to

27:03

keep everything I needed to get done in my head while I

27:05

listened to the legal

27:05

news. I looked up at my podcast app and briefly

27:08

saw the Beans episode titled Mother

27:10

May I. I had a sudden panic attack

27:12

thinking I went down a rabbit hole of the space

27:14

time continuum until I realized it

27:16

wasn't actually May

27:18

first.

27:18

Maybe not

27:18

should I say, but crazy should I think

27:21

about instead of mother May

27:23

one. That's

27:24

funny. This subconscious can be

27:26

quite the joker when you spend a lot of time alone.

27:29

Thank you both for quickly becoming my women who

27:31

delivered the news heroes. Rachel Motto

27:33

left a huge hole when she scaled way back. I

27:35

agree, Elise. I especially love the

27:37

good news at the end of every

27:37

episode. And for Pet Tax, I shall submit my

27:40

handsome Rescue Rusty, Aussie.

27:42

One photo being the beautiful boy that he was, the

27:44

other with the wild baby jackrabbits that

27:46

he gently brought to us one day.

27:48

Oh, and he's beautiful. Oh,

27:51

he herded the jackrabbits to

27:54

you, the baby bunnies. Oh,

27:56

my god. He literally is just

27:58

sitting there watching them. This is

28:00

so adorable. What a beautiful dog?

28:03

He is gorgeous. Thank

28:05

you. Thank you for that. My

28:07

know. Alright. This is E and D. No pronouns given. Hey,

28:09

beans, Queen's. I'm the proud parent of a trans oh,

28:11

of a transgender child. Living in

28:13

Northern Utah. We're currently driving

28:15

down to Salt Lake city I twenty

28:17

four twenty three. Is that one twenty four

28:20

twenty three? Mhmm. To protest

28:22

oh, got it. January twenty fourth. Good

28:25

lord Dana. See, she thought mother may I

28:27

was a date, and you saw I twenty four

28:29

twenty three. I was like, you're not sure

28:31

which inter inter state you wanna

28:33

drive highway? I know. So you're currently driving Salt

28:35

Lake City to protest. This is so

28:37

important everyone and I hope that you're

28:39

listening. To protest the current

28:41

legislation directed at my

28:43

child, s b sixteen ninety

28:45

three and one hundred and

28:47

HB1 thirty two. These are four

28:49

different bills. They are all directed

28:52

at transgender, children and

28:54

their parents. HB one hundred and

28:56

thirty two would immediately sever

28:58

youth from their doctors is

29:00

disheartening that in twenty twenty three, we

29:02

still have to fight to keep the

29:04

lifesaving care our child needs.

29:06

Keep us in your thoughts and keep up your

29:08

good work. Now, Everyone I

29:10

want you to hear this. In

29:12

twenty twenty two, I believe

29:14

there was over

29:17

three hundred pieces of legislation directed

29:19

at transgender people

29:21

specifically, whether it was sports,

29:23

healthcare, even

29:25

adults, not just

29:27

the children, over three hundred pieces of

29:30

legislation, this far into two

29:32

thousand twenty twenty three, Less

29:34

than a month in, they already have

29:36

ninety across the

29:38

country. Ninety. Mhmm. I

29:40

want you to think about how

29:42

fucking exhausted this

29:44

community must be. To day

29:46

in and day out, have

29:49

their lives and

29:51

mere existence debated

29:54

publicly day in and day

29:56

out. If you can

29:58

support please do that. And there's

30:00

a note here. This is a great account

30:02

on Twitter. It's alcandra

30:05

carbayo and it's at ESQUEER

30:10

underscore at s

30:12

square is what it looks like.

30:14

ESQUEER

30:16

underscore is a great resource

30:18

for porting out legislative threats to

30:20

trans people and there are a

30:22

ton already. Now we're gonna include a

30:24

link under the Google Doc tracking anti

30:26

trans bills that are being introduced right

30:28

now. And so we'll include that

30:30

link in the show notes and

30:32

for the patrons. But I ask of you

30:34

if you can help bring light

30:36

to these, fight these

30:39

it's such bullshit and all it is is to

30:41

rally the base. And I will say this

30:43

and and I know this sort of my final

30:46

thoughts here. Republicans in the

30:48

GOP, they don't give a shit about

30:50

abortion. They don't give a shit about drag

30:52

queens, but they are going to rally their base, and

30:54

I'll be honest I don't even think they give a

30:56

shit about whether someone is trans or

30:58

not. And we have proof of that.

31:00

They they don't like people that have abortions

31:02

until they need Hershey walker. They don't

31:04

like people that are drag queens until you've got

31:06

George Santos or whatever the hell his

31:08

name is And I'm telling

31:10

you, these people don't actually care

31:13

about trans children. They're not

31:15

afraid of them. They're not afraid of trans

31:17

women in women's restrooms where they

31:19

belong. It's all fear

31:21

tactics. I'm asking you to speak out as often as

31:23

you can against this bullshit and make sure that

31:25

you're supporting this community. They are

31:27

exhausted. It's exhausting.

31:30

I can't even imagine.

31:32

Thank you for that

31:34

submission. Thanks for letting me be on my soapbox. I'm

31:36

just so fucking tired. You know, every weekend, I

31:38

I go to a new gala for either the Human Rights

31:41

Campaign or another organization raising

31:43

up LGBT queue equality and

31:45

the legislation that anyone

31:48

have if you if you have never had to sit

31:50

and listen to your humanity, be publicly

31:53

debated by the supreme court

31:55

or by a politician, you

31:57

have no idea what it feels like. And I

31:59

only know partially as a lesbian,

32:01

a cis woman lesbian in

32:03

this world what it feels like

32:06

for me, back when our

32:08

marriages and our humanity was

32:10

debated, it's day in and day out for trans

32:12

people right now. They are exhausted.

32:14

Please support and

32:16

show the love as much as you possibly can. Howard

32:18

Bauchner:

32:18

Yeah. Hundred percent. Thank you, Dana. Thank

32:20

you for that. And

32:22

Thank you for the work that you do. Absolutely.

32:25

And thanks and thanks to these listeners who

32:27

are traveling down to to

32:30

protest these house bills and and senate bills in Utah.

32:33

Over ninety, my

32:35

god. And, yeah, again, we're gonna have AAA link

32:37

to the Google Doc and and you

32:39

you can follow e s square underscore

32:42
