On this week’s session of The Bird and The Bear … Our hosts, Sammy Ray and Daryl Lazer, have a little political palooza as they discuss the 2024 Primaries, Nikki Haley’s campaign status, the Tik Tok ban, the uncommitted vote, Joe Biden’s SOTU speech, Israel’s assault on Gaza, The GOPs response to the SOTU, and finally, the border crisis … Let’s sort through it together!

(0:00) - The session opens with our hosts discussing the results of Super Tuesday and Nikki Haley suspending her campaign - “Individuality is so valued that you assimilate to a group to protect this idea of individuality that you think you have and hold”

(12:00) - Our hosts go on a tangent about the United States Congress possibly passing a Tik Tok ban - “When’s the last time 81% of them agreed on f**king anything? Like, that’s the biggest sign that it should probably stick around”

(26:28) - Our hosts wrap up their thoughts on Nikki Haley with some theories on who she’ll support for President - “Trumpians aren’t reasonable people … So, they’re not going to look at your politics with reason and any type of like, intellectual fervor”

(32:42) - Our hosts discuss how the uncommitted votes are impacting the primaries and how it’s a powerful tool helping Americans bring attention to the call for a ceasefire in Gaza - “The thing I would like to see the most is for him to do something regardless of how it affects his votes”

(41:16) - Our hosts react to Joe Biden’s recent State of The Union (SOTU) address - “I do like Biden’s ability to deal with hecklers … When f**kin, Majorie Taylor Face Mask, is up there screaming whatever the f**k she’s screaming in her whack a** outfit”

(49:56) - Our hosts react to Joe Biden getting caught on a “hot mic” just moments after the SOTU address discussing what to do about the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu - “He wants the people at home to hear it, not the people in the room to hear it, and that’s what’s under handed about it … Sure, you said it, but say it with your f**kin chest to the room! You’re the commander-in-chief!”

(58:53) - Our hosts tangent into a debate over who truly holds the rights to the land that Israel is currently occupying - “Fine, it’s the Hatfields and McCoys but guess what, the Hatfields were backed by the U.S. government”

(1:08:32) - Our hosts react to the GOP’s response to the SOTU given by Alabama state senator, Katie Britt - “More serious conversations happened in random contexts rather then they did in some ceremonial event around the kitchen table”

(1:19:04) - Our hosts wrap up the session with a discussion about the battle over border policy between Joe Biden and Donald Trump - “We just want reasonable actionable solutions to these problems that we are being told are there but … I don’t know anyone who’s been a victim of migrant crime”
