we will stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone who will stand shoulder to shoulder with us that's the way that we build ourselves out of of this place as we close out tell our listeners how they can follow the Christopher Street project yeah please go to Christopher Street project org for more information we for train save visibility we are rallying on the national mall on March 28th with many elected leaders drag queens some amazing activists and if you can't make it in person in DC please follow along and support our work and I just want to say thank you governor for giving trans kids a voice in someone that they can look up to I think there are a lot of people who are looking to score political points in this moment and you stood up for trans kids in in a moment where a lot of people were telling you not to and that means something to our community and we won't forget it all kids are children of God and I don't like bullies so Tyler thanks for joining the podcast thank you governor you're listening and hopefully watching the anti-busier podcast this is a podcast where we have real conversations about things that matter it's supposed to be a conversation among friends and that's why we regularly do a segment about my conversation with the Johns two of my friends that help me start this podcast but today it's singular it's a conversation with the John in this case John McConnell how you doing I'm doing good so it's the John today so I'd like to say you know we do miss John Rubinowitz kind of kind of if it's always good to have him here but there will be very few shameless plugs for small businesses because of that that's right there's going to be no free advertising today that's right that's right so John we hope you're having a good time but we do miss you so what's on your mind well gonna ask you real quick it looks like you did a little traveling in the last couple of days and may have spoken in a specific county with a certain audience possibly I was in Butler County Ohio on Saturday night there's a Democratic dinner sold out 400 plus strong it was the largest fundraiser the county had ever had but what makes this unique is that Butler County is where vice president JD Vance is actually from instead of Appalachia and Breathic County where he pretends to be from I'll be honest your former senator and now our vice president burns me up he wrote an entire book the traffic and this tired stereotype about the people in my state call on the people who mine the coal to power the industrial revolution helped us to win two world wars he called him lazy he said that addiction is the fault of the people struggling not the opioid companies that flooded our communities with thousands of hills for every individual as AG I sued more opioid companies than any other in the country if I would have found more I would have sued them too wow so turnout was good turnout was huge energy was positive shared brown former senator who is running again was there Amy actin running for governor there who has been on the podcast what was there and so it was an energy filled night but you know I got to speak my mind you know I think JD Vance is the most condescending politician I've ever seen and that's saying something given who his boss is yeah it is speaking of his boss there's been a couple of tweets that have come out here recently I know that you and I have discussed some and kind of cool what are your thoughts on some of those that have just hit us so the most recent one and let me just say that every time he posts on truth social it seems like he he fails the test of basic morality you know I get it that maybe you don't like people but you don't have to post about it but this one went far over the line so we know how he generally feels about Bob Mueller and and feels like he was wrongfully attacked or investigated but Bob Mueller at the age of 81 passed away this is a guy who not only was director of the FBI he was a war hero I think he had a bronze star he had a purple heart this is a guy that gone to Princeton yet still went to to Vietnam when when others were trying to to get out and Donald Trump after that happens actually decides he is going to post that he is glad that Bob Mueller is dead yeah that's to have something like that come out of the president's office it's just terrible you know we don't want to wish
