An attempt to elect the speaker of the House of Representatives fails, this is the first time this has happened in 100 years, wondering how people who aren't yet sworn in are able to vote, thoughts on Hakeem Jeffries, the categorization of "communist" or "socialist" made by right wingers, Texas Republican Chip Roy comes up with a bizarre analogy, the depressing nature of current day malls, Emmanuel's idea to nominate George Santos for Speaker of the House, conflicting accounts of criminal charges against him in Brazil, the red tidal wave that hit Long Island in November, thoughts on the recent Georgia Senate race, a couple of disturbing vetoes by Kathy Hochul on Native American issues, Kyle and Emmanuel venture to Manhattan to be part of the opening of the very first recreational cannabis dispensary, the delay in the opening of Grand Central Madison, impressions of the parts of Grand Central Station that Kyle and Emmanuel were able to explore, the idea of Amtrak using Grand Central Station again, the interactions and conversations that took place while on line for the dispensary for three hours, realizing that one of the people was a listener, where the money is going from the new dispensaries, getting cut off close to the entrance, the incredibly peaceful nature of the crowd, how Kyle managed to make it inside despite being cut off, Emmanuel meets a second listener.

Calling attention to both frequencies of WUSB, advising listeners to honk their horns in response to the show, there is finally a Speaker of the House, how C-SPAN was able to control their own cameras during the chaos, the things that wouldn't have been seen otherwise, how history will judge George Santos and many other elected officials, how Matt Gaetz has lost a lot of friends in Congress, Santos is accused of making a fascist gesture, Emmanuel's advice on how not to handle this situation, predictions on what will happen to Santos, how Santos condemned insurrectionists in Brazil, the storming of Congress following Bolsonaro's election loss, the huge amount of misinformation being spread concerning Ukraine, why it's so important to take a stand on this issue, questioning why so many people on the left are apologists for Russia, the significance of making it through the winter, thoughts on the classified documents found in Biden's possession, the difference between this and what happened with Trump, a six-year-old shoots a teacher in Virginia, how people essentially voted for this, how this demonstrates the sickness of our society, the fact that it's all caused by guns, the craziness of kids saying they went through their "first lockdown," trying to find common ground on the gun issue, a Black Lives Matter sign at a church in Stony Brook has been repeatedly targeted by vandals, wondering why the police are only sharing this information now when the incident took place in October, going over the ridiculous restrictions on where cannabis dispensaries can be located in the town of Brookhaven.

Getting distracted by the theme, Emmanuel voted in a special election today where he was the only voter in the polling place, countering the red wave in small ways, how a town clerk can be very important, how the media is focusing on the wrong things in the Biden classified documents story, the differences between this and the Trump classified documents story, how Google News has deteriorated recently, why Republicans are the last people who should have any say in this issue, Rep. James Comer from Tennessee is demanding visitor logs for Biden's house in Delaware but has no interest in visitor logs for Mar-a-Lago, why the media should know better, how the George Santos case is a barometer of Republican integrity, how local representative Nick LaLota is one of the loudest voices in the Republican camp calling for Santos' removal, a failed Republican candidate in New Mexico is accused of shooting Democrats, how the populist left is becoming increasingly connected to the right wing, how Emmanuel called out Glenn Greenwald for this years ago and was blocked on Twitter as a result, other examples of this, Emmanuel's issue with the phrase "Democrat Party," why this is considered an epithet, Emmanuel's annoyance with the disparaging use of the word "woke," why such use legitimizes concepts like racism and sexism, fan reviews of "Star Trek: Discovery" show how many Star Trek fans are outraged by a person of color being in charge, hostile fan reaction to a non-binary character, the particular irony of this happening on a TV show that features aliens, why "woke" is not an insult, how Jesus Christ would be condemned as woke by the right wing, Kyle outlines the harm of violent masculinity in our culture, the absurdity of white people complaining as if they were subjected to slavery, how inclusivity is often found when interacting with people who are different, the magic of Inuit TV and a documentary called "Qallunaat! Why White People Are Funny," how the story is told with no bitterness, another gem found by Emmanuel while encoding vinyl, attention to the lyrics in a Rodgers and Hammerstein tune.

Long Island seems to be the center of stupid stuff lately, the embarrassment of the whole George Santos affair and the bad look it gives to Long Island, Santos "rejects" an invitation to the White House that wasn't a personal invitation in the first place, newly elected representative Nick LaLota objects to the mild COVID-19 protocols at the White House, the fact that COVID is still present, Kyle and Emmanuel went to a TV show taping this week, asking what is wrong with Long Islanders, the lies involved in calling the COVID vaccine dangerous and "un-scientific," how all sudden deaths or health issues are being inaccurately connected to the vaccine by many on the right, an insane amount of mass shootings since the year began, wondering what the point is of even talking about this since nothing seems to change, how the parents of the six-year-old who shot his teacher in Virginia are being kept anonymous for some reason, Emmanuel promises to help people find guns should a war break out, debunking the argument that illegal guns will prevail with gun control, how kids of the past had no idea what a mass shooting or a lockdown was, how gun people are claiming it's an "emergency" that they can't carry their weapons in the streets of New York City, what people should tell themselves every time they see a mass shooting, pointing out that cannons aren't permitted even though they were common when the Second Amendment was written, examples of how society has made changes in behavior in a relatively short amount of time, the prevalence of Ukrainian flags in the East Village, examining the arguments that defend Russia's actions, Kyle and Emmanuel immediately forget a Ukrainian name, classified documents are found in Mike Pence's house, a disturbing possibility that Lee Zeldin might run for Suffolk county executive, the Long Island Railroad is going to start running shuttle trains to Grand Central Madison tomorrow, questioning the need for a trial period, a new dispensary is set to open in Manhattan, holding onto hope as times are changing.

There was a small dusting of snow this morning, it's the last day of January and Emmanuel is worried about the lack of snow this winter, the abundance of rain this year, reports that George Santos is starting to crack by recusing himself from committees, how other Republicans are complicit in this charade, Biden was in town today, the attack on Paul Pelosi and the shameful way that Republicans responded to this, the need to know when to start ignoring people who can't accept reality, the murder of Tyre Nichols in Memphis and the effect the release of the disturbing video has had, the relative quickness of the Memphis authorities to respond, why broken glass isn't the issue, "if punching a policeman is a sin then we may as well pack up and go home," identifying the source of this quote, lessons learned from "The Banshees of Inisherin," seeing cops as human beings, comparing gun control to cigarette control, guns are the number one cause of death among children, why this fact needs to be repeated more, details of a rage room that is coming to Selden, Kyle and Emmanuel finally get to try roasted sunchokes.
