Malt Liquor Socialists
Episode 54 December 29th, 2025
Season 2, Ep. 14
•
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.

45:47||Season 2, Ep. 14.5In 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.Announcement 003, December 22nd, 2025

01:11:28||Season 2, Ep. 13In 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.12.

01:46:01||Season 2, Ep. 12This week has been a really busy week for Josephine county, with lots of stuff to go over. Unfortunately our two socialists have limited time so we decided to cover the most recent developments in the ongoing Josephine County Commissioner recall petition. Barnett does an... interview... we guess... okay, we really don't think it technically qualifies as an interview. It doesn't really improve from there as the two subjects of the recall continue to make questionable decisions to manage damage control or the narrative, and their social media cheer leader really isn't helping.11. Episode 51 December 1st, 2025
01:15:34||Season 2, Ep. 11In this week's episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan talk about a written post Josephine County Commissioner "Commander" Chris made in response to the recall petition. Then our intrepid socialists listen to a couple of videos from one of our more hard right Conservatives and muse a little about how this person can misinterpret freedom of speech, and how this same person can turn a video about asking people to volunteer at the Josephine County Republican's office into an advertisement to sell Republican merchandise. Finally our socialists listen to, and comment on, a KOBI news clip about a decision that the Three Rivers' School District made. Mr. Kieffer again apologizes for the coughing, though there is less of it this time.10. Episode 50 November 24th, 2025
01:47:05||Season 2, Ep. 10Holy crap, it's been a month and we're finally back!After a hiatus due to Mr. Kieffer having, and recovering from, a two-week stretch of pneumonia, our dynamic duo is back to go over local happenings. In this week's episode Mr. Kieffer and Mr. Morgan talk about the current status of the recall petition for "Commander" Chris and Andreas 🤮, and our Socialists discuss what is a current attempt that opposition to the recall is using to try to undermine the recall effort. Then our Socialists go over some brief selected clips from the Josephine County Commissioner Business Meeting, from about two weeks ago because there was no business meeting for this last week.Mr. Kieffer apologizes in advance for the constant coughing which we've tried to edit out and/or reduce. He says he's doing much better, but he's still technically recovering.49.5. Announcement November 3rd, 2025
