Speaker 2: You're still in that robe, still in a bathrobe forever,
Speaker 2: bathrobe forever.
Speaker 1: Bathrobe energy is us Like, that's a good just a
Speaker 1: good motto to live by. How are the egg prices
Speaker 1: down in Mexico City.
Speaker 2: Well, Jack, let me tell you. If I go waded
Speaker 2: out like cocaine, well yeah, either my options for eggs
Speaker 2: are I go to one of the numerous little little
Speaker 2: shops in the neighborhood and I can just buy as
Speaker 2: many or as few eggs as I want, and it's
Speaker 2: so cheap that I don't even know how much it is.
Speaker 2: Or I can go on Uber eats and have a
Speaker 2: man bring me a dozen eggs for forty one pass,
Speaker 2: which is roughly two dollars.
Speaker 1: Living like a fucking king down there. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: just I snuck into my neighbor's henhouse this morning and
Speaker 1: he shot my butt.
Speaker 3: With a shotgun in a fox dressed as a fox.
Speaker 1: He shot my butt with a shotgun, but it just
Speaker 1: exploded my underpants and I just had a heart underpants
Speaker 1: on underneath.
Speaker 3: But other than that fun and that's how we learned
Speaker 3: your name was Jack. That's right.
Speaker 1: Anyways, I'm Jack. That right, there is Brian the editor,
Speaker 1: the editor, the right ran the editor.
Speaker 3: It's me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you you aren't the scatman, but you grew
Speaker 1: up with the scatman, is that correct?
Speaker 3: Yeah? The scatman was my stepdad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was all right.
Speaker 1: I guess all right, Brian and UH would love to
Speaker 1: keep talking about the scatman, but we have a bunch
Speaker 1: of terrible news to speed run through. Uh yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. This is it's just take take me back
Speaker 1: to the old, the old Trump administration when it was
Speaker 1: just a new outrageous fucking thing every day. But in
Speaker 1: this case, it's like five new outrageous things every day.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: They're really flooding the zone with shit, uh in this
Speaker 1: in this administration.
Speaker 2: Remember how like out of it he seemed on the
Speaker 2: campaign trail after the assassination, like he had just given up.
Speaker 2: And it's just like Okay, he's charged up now, Like yeah,
Speaker 2: somebody put the energizer, the battery in his back.
Speaker 1: This is I do remember, he like has those he
Speaker 1: goes in waves right where I think it's like adderall
Speaker 1: based and like he'll get to he'll actually like rest
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks and like not be in
Speaker 1: the public eye and then come back and just be raging.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's like being in a you know,
Speaker 1: abusive relationship where you're just like going with the ebbs
Speaker 1: and flows of somebody's manic, crazy energy. But it does
Speaker 1: feel like this time, you know how like Terminator two
Speaker 1: is like the first, like the stuff that was wild
Speaker 1: about the first one, but like cranked up like that.
Speaker 1: This feels like the Crank two presidency of of you know,
Speaker 1: Trump presidencies GC Crank two.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I was a big fan of the the
Speaker 2: big middle fingers for the audience.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, anyways, that seems to be the Trump administry.
Speaker 1: One of the Trump administrations guiding principles does a big
Speaker 1: middle finger to the audience. They just paused quote and
Speaker 1: quotes trillions of dollars in federal funding. So this is
Speaker 1: after suddenly putting a stop to us for an aid
Speaker 1: for if you're not like keeping track of everything. They
Speaker 1: put a sudden hault on US foreign aid, which caused
Speaker 1: chaos since I had groups ranging from healthcare providers to
Speaker 1: land mine removers.
Speaker 3: But then on Monday night.
Speaker 1: I believe it was Tuesday morning, a memo revealed that
Speaker 1: Trump now is going to temporarily pause federal funding for everything.
Speaker 3: Basically the only.
Speaker 1: Thing that won't be affected is Medicare and Social Security
Speaker 1: because that would affect people like his age, his voter base.
Speaker 1: But disaster relief, medical research, shelters for offering safety for
Speaker 1: domestic violence, suicide hotlines, Medicaid, healthcare for the poorest people
Speaker 1: in the US. All the Medicaid systems are locked in
Speaker 1: all fifty states, it seems.
Speaker 2: And I wonder, Jack, to what end, Like what four
Speaker 2: D chess is he playing? Do you think that's a
Speaker 2: really good question. I'm sure we can just go read
Speaker 2: the New York Times to figure out the strategy behind this,
Speaker 2: because that seems to be what their job is now,
Speaker 2: is like you know what, So from this perspective, here
Speaker 2: seems to be what Trump is thinking. I've heard people
Speaker 2: suggest everything from this is just trying to speed up
Speaker 2: the collapse of civilization so he can do what he
Speaker 2: really wants.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah, that's such an interesting thing that
Speaker 3: fandoms have created.
Speaker 2: Is your favorite whoever the fuck can do any old
Speaker 2: weird shit and the base will just create an excuse
Speaker 2: for them. They don't even have to try to lie
Speaker 2: to people anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, Medicaid portals are frozen, and yeah, even
Speaker 1: meals on wheels. Don't know if they can keep delivering
Speaker 1: meals to elderly shut ins. So way to stick it
Speaker 1: to those free loading elderly shut ins.
Speaker 2: Yeah here they put here, they put boots on all
Speaker 2: the meals on wheels vans. Really sad they might, I
Speaker 2: mean truly like that might be. I don't know what,
Speaker 2: like where where does this stuff? So I just to
Speaker 2: read from the memo. According to the memo, this is
Speaker 2: to assess compliance with Trump's executive orders, specifically relating to
Speaker 2: DEI woke gender ideology and the Green New Deal. Again,
Speaker 2: despite the fact that the Green New Deal was never
Speaker 2: signed into law.
Speaker 3: I feel something weird coming on. Jack. Just very exasperated SiGe. Okay,
Speaker 3: it's very exasperating.
Speaker 1: I will allow an exasperated sigh because that thank your
Speaker 1: explanation and no further answers your honor. That explanation is
Speaker 1: basically just like I want to do something crazy to
Speaker 1: see I'm going to ask you to do something crazy,
Speaker 1: like I need you to kill your friend.
Speaker 3: Fucking ear. All right, Yeah, so I know you're down,
Speaker 3: except in this case it's elderly people.
Speaker 1: I need to make sure that you're down for the
Speaker 1: colony to some elderly people. The memo also blamed trans
Speaker 1: people and Marxists for all of America's problems.
Speaker 3: I don't even know what a Marxist is anymore. Now,
Speaker 3: I can guarantee you they don't either. Quote.
Speaker 1: The use of federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism,
Speaker 1: and Green New Deal social engineering policies is a waste
Speaker 1: of taxpayer dollars. It's a So this is a blatant
Speaker 1: violation of the constitution. Seems like he's that's not the
Speaker 1: president's job to determine how federal money is spent. I
Speaker 1: feel like he needs congressional approval for that.
Speaker 2: Checks and balances like this, just trust in the system, bro,
Speaker 2: Like checks and balances.
Speaker 3: Yeah, balances. There are no checks and balances.
Speaker 1: It turns out because everybody seems to be going with
Speaker 1: the well, we don't want him to be mad at
Speaker 1: us like that. That's I forget the quote, but it's
Speaker 1: basically like a lot of the power that's given to,
Speaker 1: you know, authoritarians, is just like freely granted by people
Speaker 1: who want to like comply, you know, people comply in
Speaker 1: advance with authoritarian because.
Speaker 3: They don't want any smoke.
Speaker 2: It's like he's got the energy of like a vindictive
Speaker 2: like like an evil child in a Twilight.
Speaker 3: Zone episode or something like yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, where they have super weird powers and the parents
Speaker 2: just don't want to like just give him, just give
Speaker 2: him the candy bar.
Speaker 1: Okay, the weird left turn ending of Looper where it
Speaker 1: just becomes about a baby, a child with superpowers for reason?
Speaker 3: Does that how Looper ends? Is the right movie?
Speaker 2: Surprisingly forgettable movie with little cultural impact.
Speaker 1: I know I saw it at first, and then they're like,
Speaker 1: and now you're on a farm with a baby with superpowers.
Speaker 3: For some reason, like.
Speaker 1: The whole third act is in that on the in
Speaker 1: that farmhouse with a child with superpowers. I feel like,
Speaker 1: am i I'm making Yeah, it's so weird. It's like
Speaker 1: a fun sci fi time travel premise that then like
Speaker 1: all of.
Speaker 3: A sudden, Yeah, I don't know why it goes in
Speaker 3: that direction. I don't know why we went in this.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, actually I do, because this is fucking terrible news.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's terrible news.
Speaker 1: So we're just looking for and my brain reaches for
Speaker 1: any any place that I can go besides the news.
Speaker 3: We didn't even cover.
Speaker 1: Earlier in the week, when Trump randomly started a trade
Speaker 1: war with Columbia. Basically, Columbia was like, hey, could you
Speaker 1: like they've accepted deportation again. The Democratic Party when they
Speaker 1: were in power were deporting hundreds of people. They were
Speaker 1: just not handcuffing them and putting them on military aircraft
Speaker 1: and you know, going out of their way to mistreat
Speaker 1: the people who they were deporting. So the president of
Speaker 1: Columbia said, like, please stop doing that. We won't accept
Speaker 1: them if you're treating them like shit and doing it
Speaker 1: on military aircraft. That like adds a whole aggressive element
Speaker 1: to this. Brazil also were reportedly outraged when they discovered
Speaker 1: the people were in handcuffs, and Mexico denied one such
Speaker 1: military plane request to land. But yeah, so Columbia did
Speaker 1: the same. Trump basically was like I'm gonna do tariffs
Speaker 1: to you. That's like his his move, and then like
Speaker 1: it's kind of unclear what happened, Like a lot the
Speaker 1: story in the mainstream media has been and then Columbia
Speaker 1: backed down. By the way, it's worth noting that the
Speaker 1: White House's official press release spelled the name of the
Speaker 1: nation Columbia with a U, like Columbia University.
Speaker 3: So because of course they would. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a really fuzzy thing because once again the
Speaker 2: mainstream media they vacillate between refusing to say.
Speaker 3: What they see and straight up lying. Right.
Speaker 2: So it's very unclear because I read I read the
Speaker 2: president's response President of Columbia, and it was pretty unambiguous.
Speaker 2: It was kind of like a fuck around and find
Speaker 2: out type thing. It's like, okay, hit me with terrorists
Speaker 2: and enjoy your very expensive coffee America coffee.
Speaker 3: President already started shooting up.
Speaker 2: Trump has won this quote unquote trade battle, and I'm
Speaker 2: they they won't really elaborate on what that means.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they So it really comes down to
Speaker 1: the Columbia's only demand was that it not beyond military planes. Uh,
Speaker 1: and they say, we're we've now started accepting you know,
Speaker 1: the planes of deported people back when.
Speaker 3: They were sending their own planes, Like yes, so that
Speaker 3: regular planes, which is what they offered to do in
Speaker 3: the first place.
Speaker 1: It was like Trump was in insisting at the military planes.
Speaker 1: It's just like a fucking pissing contest. But because anytime
Speaker 1: there is a conflict, Trump will tell his version of
Speaker 1: the story, which is that he won. Everybody scared of him.
Speaker 1: He's the greatest and the strongest, and the media just
Speaker 1: seems willing to like print that right away. Like it
Speaker 1: was just I was like trying because a lot of
Speaker 1: people were like, actually, it doesn't seem like President Petro
Speaker 1: of Columbia didn't really back down. He just said okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I said from the start, I'm willing to accept
Speaker 1: these planes of people if they're not military vehicles. But
Speaker 1: the media just went full like Trump wins trade war
Speaker 1: with like using leverage because he's uh steel arvage talk.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And they won't even say what the lever
Speaker 1: what leverage?
Speaker 3: What's the leverage?
Speaker 1: I mean, America has biggest military, most money, so in
Speaker 1: that sense, that's the point of violence. Yeah, violence, Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use leverage to twist your arm up behind
Speaker 1: your back until it snaps.
Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: That that is what we're calling leverage these news in
Speaker 1: the mainstream media. So I don't know, it's just it
Speaker 1: seems like a thing where people are just going out
Speaker 1: of their way to try and get on board wherever possible.
Speaker 1: Like it's like we've got a we've got a you know,
Speaker 1: the they used to the mainstream media used to like
Speaker 1: keep score, where it's like one for us, one for them,
Speaker 1: one for us, one for them, Like we need to
Speaker 1: do a story that Fox News would approve of so
Speaker 1: that they can't call us unbalanced or like men.
Speaker 2: And that's why here at the Daily Esite, guys, we
Speaker 2: we pledge allegiance to our benevolent God, King Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: That's right, and we do we do have to just
Speaker 1: say that every twenty minutes. So we hope you guys
Speaker 1: are okay with that. But now it feels like it's
Speaker 1: kind of a race to get as many stories as
Speaker 1: they can and that are on board with the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: Like I can just see how it's being justified inside
Speaker 1: the newsroom, where it's like we've gotta we've got to
Speaker 1: like tell these stories how they want us to tell
Speaker 1: it so we can then like do the real reporting
Speaker 1: when it like actually is important.
Speaker 3: But it sounds like something like kindle Roy would do. Yes,
Speaker 3: this is very kind behavior.
Speaker 1: It feels very a nation of failed sons. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: back with more bad news. Yay, And we're back. And
Speaker 1: ice is so evil people are now afraid of ice
Speaker 1: cream trucks.
Speaker 3: This this headline would suggest that you give me a
Speaker 3: word picture on this one.
Speaker 2: Is ice out here in ice cream trucks?
Speaker 1: That's what I think is happening. And they're not like
Speaker 1: this is not a completely irrational People aren't being completely irrational.
Speaker 1: The ice cream truck in question, it's called the Las
Speaker 1: Vegas ice Cream Patrol. It is a ice cream truck
Speaker 1: that is painted to look like a police vehicle.
Speaker 3: There's like a little windows to serve the black community.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing, I know, right, there's a window with like
Speaker 1: little police bars painted on the side of it.
Speaker 3: It says Unit seven oh two.
Speaker 1: And people were understandably like, at a time when ice
Speaker 1: agents are actually raiding communities, people like watch out for
Speaker 1: this ice cream patrol. Law enforcement themed ice cream truck.
Speaker 1: It just seems like a very easy rumor to get started.
Speaker 2: And if you order a chube of choops or those
Speaker 2: those little pieces of mango with chili on it, you
Speaker 2: get fucking deported.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, all right, we got one. He's definitely an immigrant.
Speaker 3: He likes ethnic snacks. Like.
Speaker 1: On the one hand, it doesn't seem like there isn't
Speaker 1: a fit just because Ice is in the word ice
Speaker 1: cream truck. It doesn't seem like there's an official relationship
Speaker 1: between this ice cream man and Ice. On the other hand,
Speaker 1: if someone was like, there is an ice cream truck
Speaker 1: that is cooperating with Ice to like turn people in,
Speaker 1: this would be my first suspect because according to the
Speaker 1: person the ice cream man in question, he said he
Speaker 1: gave the truck a law enforcement makeover because he wanted
Speaker 1: something nice and clean and approachable that was safe for kids.
Speaker 2: Again, this truck does not serve any communities of any color.
Speaker 1: Yes, ACAB does include this ice cream truck, whether or
Speaker 1: not it is official.
Speaker 3: It's partnering with Ice, Yeah all right.
Speaker 1: Kroger and Microsoft are allegedly going to collaborate on making
Speaker 1: surge pricing a thing in grocery stores in person now
Speaker 1: in person instacart or something, yes, exactly, Okay, tell me more.
Speaker 3: I'm interest.
Speaker 1: So you know about the Into It Dome, right, So
Speaker 1: this is there's a new stadium that just opened up
Speaker 1: in La where before you go, you scan your face
Speaker 1: into an app and then you don't need a ticket.
Speaker 1: When you show up there, they just know it's you,
Speaker 1: like you just walk in based on your face which
Speaker 1: they have scanned, and then while you're in the stadium.
Speaker 1: It's called the Intuit Dome. It's for the Clippers, who
Speaker 1: are owned by Microsoft.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's still the owner.
Speaker 2: The Clippers their own stadium never right, never never mine.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Steve Balmer, who's like Microsoft big wig, created the stadium
Speaker 1: where it's it's that thing that we talked about that
Speaker 1: Amazon was promising, where like in the future, whole food
Speaker 1: is just going to be a thing where you like
Speaker 1: walk in, pull whenever you want off.
Speaker 2: The shown that that didn't work and they had an
Speaker 2: army of Indian people verifying all the trans exactly what
Speaker 2: they had people trying to keep track of all this shit.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming what's different now is that it's like a
Speaker 1: finite amount of time, so it's not like you have
Speaker 1: to staff it around the clock, so you can just
Speaker 1: have the people behind the scenes like working for a
Speaker 1: specific period of time. I've heard from people who have
Speaker 1: gone that like they're getting they're charging you for the
Speaker 1: wrong things. You get charged not in real time, like
Speaker 1: they send you the receipts like later in some cases
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, we saw that you got this.
Speaker 1: So I think they really are like going back. They
Speaker 1: have people working going back reviewing the tape because they
Speaker 1: don't have the ability to do the thing that they're
Speaker 1: claiming they can do.
Speaker 2: I just wonder why they keep trying this, Like what
Speaker 2: is the end game here to so here to have
Speaker 2: any employee well, because it's like you would think it'd
Speaker 2: be to not have any employees on site or as
Speaker 2: few as possible, but you're still employing all these people
Speaker 2: to do I've heard it's a cool experience.
Speaker 3: I've heard people who go or like it's weird.
Speaker 1: It's just like really strange, Like have you ever been
Speaker 1: to a shoplifting jack, right, So I'm like it's like unshopliftable.
Speaker 3: It's just like you feel like you're shoplifting.
Speaker 2: I think is that withten plenty of stores and just
Speaker 2: grab shit and walked out.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, yeah, I mean, yeah.
Speaker 2: It's cool, but that is a fun feeling. My way
Speaker 2: is cooler because I didn't get ability.
Speaker 1: But like, if you're ever in a stadium, like do
Speaker 1: you do you and you're about to leave, do you
Speaker 1: like get that weird like feeling like you're about to
Speaker 1: like you're like, oh shit, I can't come back in.
Speaker 1: I can't come You get that like anxiety of like
Speaker 1: once I leave, like I can't come back in.
Speaker 2: No, I've never had that because I'm always itching to
Speaker 2: leave a stadium.
Speaker 3: Let me talk out of here. Yeah, So I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's this seems to be what the illusion of the
Speaker 1: Intuit Dome is aimed at, because they are announcing that
Speaker 1: they're going to collaborate with Kroger to make a similar
Speaker 1: thing with Kroger, and the thing that in addition to
Speaker 1: like a fun user experience, like a flashy fund user experience,
Speaker 1: it's Kroger has said that one of the things they'd
Speaker 1: like to be able to do with this is now
Speaker 1: that they see you coming and like are tracking you
Speaker 1: around the store, they will change the pricing based on
Speaker 1: knowing like who you are and how much you spend
Speaker 1: at Kroger, Like, so you'll see a different price than
Speaker 1: the person next to you.
Speaker 2: We'll see, Uh, mister O'Brien, I have a question. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: Can I go to the bathroom?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Now my question is what do you think their distinction
Speaker 2: between this and price gouging would be?
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. It's what do I think they would say?
Speaker 1: So, Brian, price gouging is an ugly term, an ugly term.
Speaker 3: We do. This is called letting the market decide. It's
Speaker 3: called surge pricing on milk and eggs. I mean that
Speaker 3: definitely sounds more fun. It reminds me of that from
Speaker 3: the nineties. That's right.
Speaker 1: So we call it mountain de pricing. It's do the
Speaker 1: do pricing where.
Speaker 3: You get to do the du prising.
Speaker 1: Yeah, mountain berry refresher pricing and it uh yeah, there's
Speaker 1: no doubt. It's just trying to find ways to use technology.
Speaker 2: It sounds like, yeah, price gouging to me, like with
Speaker 2: extra steps.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I quote your president, the Mexican President on tomorrow's episode
Speaker 1: of TDZ talking about how they just explicitly say neoliberalism,
Speaker 1: like this version of capitalism that we lived under until
Speaker 1: uh till a week ago, and now we live under
Speaker 1: like straight up oligarchy, authoritarianism, that version of like neoliberalism,
Speaker 1: where like it's all corporations, like is just a way
Speaker 1: to find different, fun, interesting ways to redistribute wealth from
Speaker 1: people to.
Speaker 3: Corporate like upward basically to richer and richer people.
Speaker 2: It's a big straw and he's drinking all of our milkshakes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what that is. How the entire system is designed.
Speaker 1: And when you think of the political parties as you know,
Speaker 1: designed to keep that system in place, then it starts
Speaker 1: to make a lot more sense.
Speaker 3: Like why it's impossible for.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden to do you know, why why we ended
Speaker 1: up with somebody with the futility fetish as president for
Speaker 1: the last four years, because like that the best if
Speaker 1: you if you love being like trying to do the
Speaker 1: right thing and getting blocked over and over again, there's
Speaker 1: no better position for that than being president of the
Speaker 1: United States.
Speaker 2: And I love this idea that you've had because regularly
Speaker 2: I'm show they talk about you guys talk about you know,
Speaker 2: the horse race aspect of it, like the sport, the sport. Yeah,
Speaker 2: aspect that yes, yeah, but one side refuses to block,
Speaker 2: refuses to shoot. It's just it's like you won't even try.
Speaker 2: They won't even try. It's it's so wild.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's uh yeah, Like there's a good article and
Speaker 1: I think it's Defector.
Speaker 3: And Trump is out here using a fucking ladder. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: And it's like the heart, It's like the Globe trotters.
Speaker 1: Yes, the Democrats just are unwilling to fight back for
Speaker 1: some reason. They just don't play the game, as you know,
Speaker 1: for some reason what one side plays and the other
Speaker 1: side doesn't because they like view it as undignified or something.
Speaker 1: It's just like one long revolutionary war where like the
Speaker 1: Democrats are like the red Coats being like well not
Speaker 1: lining up in perfect formation and standing in front of
Speaker 1: the people, were trying to shoot at like with a
Speaker 1: drum playing so that we can like dance to it.
Speaker 1: Not doing that would be undignified. That's this is simply
Speaker 1: just how it's always been done. I need to remember
Speaker 1: when I was friendly with strom Thermot and it's like
Speaker 1: all the other side is mel Gibson with an axe
Speaker 1: running around behind you.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was getting big patriot vibes from this God what.
Speaker 3: A fucking bad movie though. Yeah, yeah, I like when
Speaker 3: he stabbed a guy with the American flag. That was
Speaker 3: my favorite. He does do that. I didn't just imagine that.
Speaker 3: Huh that that does happen. He stabbed a man with
Speaker 3: the American flag. Yeah, I do want to look at
Speaker 3: a story. It's not on the dock, but whoa script.
Speaker 1: Pete hag Seth got confirmed as Defense Secretary. We haven't
Speaker 1: like a such a fucking shit fire hose that it's
Speaker 1: impossible to keep up with, but yeah, striking a blow
Speaker 1: for racist, evangelical, abusive, cable news hacks with drinking problems everywhere.
Speaker 1: He was confirmed as the country's new Defense secretary by
Speaker 1: the Senate on Friday only because jd Vance cast the
Speaker 1: deciding vote, even though they have, you know, enough of
Speaker 1: a majority that they shouldn't need that. Mitch McConnell is
Speaker 1: growing a conscience here at the end of his life,
Speaker 1: so he, Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins all voted against
Speaker 1: confirming him, and they did it that They did it
Speaker 1: because they knew that they still we were going to
Speaker 1: get him through because of jd Vance. But jd Vance
Speaker 1: for some reason pretended that he didn't know that this
Speaker 1: was the job of the vice president. He was like,
Speaker 1: I thought I was done voting in the Senate laugh
Speaker 1: crying emoji. The laugh crying emoji has been ruined, Like
Speaker 1: nobody were not allowed to use that anymore in public.
Speaker 3: No, I only use that in like private rib it text. Really, yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: I'll allow that. You do what you need to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll You'll never catch me putting that in like
Speaker 2: a tweet or something.
Speaker 1: This is the smallest margin for a Defense secretary's confirmation
Speaker 1: since the position was created in nineteen forty seven. But
Speaker 1: what a fun what a fun guy. Jd Vance. You know,
Speaker 1: it just seemed this is hilarious.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you can just chill and have a
