Welcome to Media Roots Radio. This is Abby Martin.

And this is Robbie Martin. Thanks for joining us, everybody.

Robbie's been doing an awesome job doing some solo podcasts, not solo podcasts, but interviews with various people.

Everyone check them out. Alex Jones's wife, Kelly, very fascinating interview, and Tom Sucker about the screball incident so definitely encourage everyone to check

those podcasts out.

Yeah, I've been holding down the fort while you've been busy in the middle of your move and

everything.

And yeah, the interview with Kelly Jones was extremely fascinating.

And we'll talk about a little more detail later because there's been some news involving that.

So, well, let's get into it.

Let's get into it.

R.I.P. Barb Bush.

Barbara Bush died.

Very tragic story that an old, you know, wife wife, basically her biggest crowning achievement was just being the wife of a war criminal. So I don't know why the Women's March, Twitter, and all these, you know, people who are co-opted by the Democratic Party want to praise her. I guess just keeping alive that bipartisan, bipartisan praise for war criminals from both Democrats and Republicans. And you, you know, look no further than the funeral,

where Melania Trump is just sitting there hanging out with Michelle and Barack Obama. I mean,

it's just weird. If I were Barack Obama, I feel like I would not want to be hanging out with like a woman who is married to the guy who basically got popular saying that I was a secret terrorist not born in the U.S. because I'm black. Which is odd. It's very odd. And this is what happens after a certain amount of time passes, all these war criminals and all these horrible ex-presidents and their families just get rebranded into being heroic, you know, these figures that we're supposed to love and admire. It's very predictable. This always happens. When George H.W. Bush dies, H. Bush Sr., It's going to be the same thing. But what's weird is,

I feel like when Reagan died, it wasn't like people didn't really care that much. It was like

the Republicans were the ones trying to rebrand him. And it was working. It seemed kind of

effective for it there in their sphere, but not like at

large like this. It feels like this is almost to me, it seems like this is partly because Trump is

so awful to so many people and because people like George W. Bush have already been able to be

rebranded this quickly. These like organizations like the women's march maybe feel more comfortable
