Malt Liquor Socialists

In this episode, Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan partake in libations in celebration of the successful vote to recall "Commander" Chris from the position of Commissioner. Our socialists will go over the County Commissioner Weekly Business meeting, an Administrative Workshop, and another Fireside Chat with Chris Barnett, all from January 7th. Mr. Kieffer offers the most humble of apologies for the audio jumping in a few places in this episode. It seems the consumption of alcohol inhibits his ability to properly operate the recording software, and he might have messed up a couple of times throughout the episode.

In today's episode our Socialists are ditching any local topics to discuss something on the national level. This is in part because the recall election will be over the day after this episode airs, and our Socialists do not want to provide any last minute speculation or do a last minute, "VOTE! VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!" push."So what kind of national topic might be covered," you ask. Well... Mr. Kieffer may have gotten his hands on a digital copy of a very recent 60 Minutes segment that is banned in the US, and our two Socialists juuuuuuuuuust might be watching that segment.This is one of our shortest full episodes, at just over 30 minutes long, and fair warning... the topic is exceptionally depressing and potentially rage inducing.

In their follow up episode for the week, Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan interviewed a local journalist and owner of the Grants Pass Tribune, John Oliver Rico. Our socialists start with some questions to get a feel for who John is. After getting some background they turn their questions to some more recent drama with "Commander" Chris.Mr. Kieffer offers his apologies. In editing some of his coughs out of the audio he accidentally deleted a small portion of the interview around 11:15 into the episode. He humbly begs for forgiveness from you, the listener. Please remember to cast your votes to recall "Commander" Chris from office on (or preferably before) January 6th.

Our socialists are back and have a lot to go over from the past two weeks. There is so much to go over, in fact, that Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan have split this week's episode into two parts. The first, longer part, airing today... and the follow up (which will be an interview) airing on Wednesday.In this part of this week's podcast, Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan go through some videos of "Commander" Chris trying to control the narrative, an apparent lackey of his pushing some of Chris' propaganda, and a Commissioner meeting where our socialists get to see Wally Hicks for the first time, and Wally politely ends up telling Chris to shut his damn trap about legal litigation before Chris puts his own foot in it.Also a friendly reminder, if you're a Josephine county resident and registered voter, please make sure you have voted in the recall of Commissioner Chris... and turned in your ballot.

Our two Socialists don't have a new episode this week, but they do have some brief ponderings about the holiday, followed by a quick but important reminder.We hope you enjoy this announcement, and have a happy holiday!

In this week's episode, Mr. Morgan and Mr. Kieffer watch "Commander" Chris' very bizarre one man meeting that somehow wasn't a meeting and turned into an information session for the public that somehow was mostly "Commander" Chris trying to negotiate the meaning of statutes and the county charter to try to make an argument for rescinding Ron Smith recusing himself from participating in selecting 🤮's replacement due to a conflict of interest.It is absolutely more convoluted than it sounds, and Barnett makes a complete and utter ass out himself, as per usual.
