Huh? That is our trending episode title, 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 2: because yeah, this is just so stupid. 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: The weird shit, the weirdo stuff is still got them 6 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: and just they don't know what to do. The couch 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: fucking shit is still continuing to run amok on the right. 8 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: It's everything we love to see. Anyway. 9 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: I'm Miles. I'm joined by Brian the Editor. Brian the Editor, 10 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: what's going on? 11 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 2: Hi? Hits me, Brian the Editor. I'm here, you're here. 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: And we're here to tell you what is trending today. 13 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: On this Tuesday, July thirtieth, twenty twenty four, Joe Biden 14 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: is trending because he announced some major Supreme Court reforms 15 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: via Washington Post op ed. He wants to limit justices 16 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: terms to eighteen years, introduce a binding code of ethics, 17 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: and is also proposing a constitutional amendment called the no 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: No One is Above the Law Amendment, which basically reverses 19 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court's recent presidents can just do whatever the 20 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: fuck they want to ruling. 21 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: No. I know this is a podcast, but if you 22 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: hear like a weird noise in the background. That's me 23 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: rolling my fucking eyes. Oh wow wow. Yeah. 24 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: I mean look, this is definitely like one of those 25 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: things where you go, that's a I like the sentiment, 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: but maybe this is something that could have happened, you know, 27 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: like earlier in the term, because right now there's really 28 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: I don't know where there's the political capital or will 29 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: to actually get this done. But again, we like the 30 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: sentiment because at the very least that is something that 31 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: needs to happen, like we need actual term limits, like 32 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: we need a way to you know, rein in the 33 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. But like the Code of Ethics thing, it's 34 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: hard to know, like it has to truly be binding 35 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 1: because right now they have a code of Ethics which 36 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: they just roll their eyes at and they're like yeah, yeah, yeah, 37 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: more on that later. I'm taking this RV money, try 38 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: to do something to me, So yeah, this is what 39 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 1: you know. He even agrees that these are mostly symbolic, 40 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: but again that's that's it's kind of tough to hear 41 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: symbolic change. 42 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: When you Needreame Court literally said presidents can do whatever 43 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: the fuck they want, and he's just not really taking 44 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: the queue, don't I don't get it. 45 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean, I think this is one of 46 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: those things. It's like you need to say something because 47 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: it's bad. But again, you functionally, where how does this happen? 48 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: How do you make this actual law? How do you 49 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: get these constitutional amendments passed? 50 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: How do you make motherfuckers stop running wild? Yeah? How too? 51 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: We just don't know yet, But this is the monster 52 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: that has been created in the Supreme Court. Uh So, 53 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: at least the at least maybe he's trying to normalize presidents, 54 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: saying that we need term limits. Sure, but then we 55 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: need people who will actually turn that into tangible action. 56 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: So then we don't have to worry about the Supreme 57 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: Court taking bribes or you know, whatever you want to 58 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: call it, gift pains and then not recusing themselves from 59 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: relevant cases or just you know, basically doing whatever they want. 60 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: But anyway, that is why Joe Biden is trending. The 61 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: other thing that's trending Disneyland. So we talked about their union, 62 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: fourteen thousand members strong union for the people that work Disneyland. 63 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: Everybody but Gary voted. 64 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, ninety nine percent voted to authorize a strike if 65 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: they don't ratify a contract or get the contract that they. 66 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 2: Felt was fair. 67 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: Well, guess what Disney knows that this is like the 68 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: height of the season for people to be coming in 69 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: the summer, you know what I mean, like with kids 70 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: out of school, and to shut down would be a 71 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: disaster financially. And on Monday, it turns out the resorts 72 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: unionized workers ratified a three year deal that includes a 73 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: twenty four twenty four dollars hourly minimum wage this year, 74 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: more for some other jobs, regular wage increases, seniority increases, 75 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: more flexible attendance and sick leave policies, and other benefits. 76 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: Most of these employees will be receiving an increase of 77 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: six dollars and ten cents per hour over the next 78 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: three years, and the contract goes into effect immediately upon ratification. 79 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: So look, hey. 80 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: Man, unions, there're it's like it's it's like when you 81 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: get together collectively, things can be achieved, like to see 82 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: Disneyland have to figure out. 83 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 2: Look, man, yeah, you actually we rely on them to 84 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: make the billions of dollars. 85 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: Some people are wondering if this will result in higher 86 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: ticket prices, because that's a lot of things you always 87 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: hear out of C suites to be like. 88 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 2: Well, you know, if we do that, then everything's going 89 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: to be more expensive. 90 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: But as of now it seems that the ticket prices 91 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: are stable. But this is only again after I mean, 92 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: it's only gone up since the pandemic. Yeah, because their whole, 93 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: their whole business strategy was well, let's just only appeal 94 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: to the people that can just. 95 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: Waste tons of money here at a time and other people. 96 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: May I remember with the whole that that's Star Wars Hotel. 97 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: Do you remember that? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's 98 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 2: like it didn't work. Prices on that yeah, were so 99 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: wild for like a weekend, and you know that they 100 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: have they still have that kind of pull with certain 101 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: types of people where it's like, yeah, we'll empty our 102 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 2: bank accounts for this experience. 103 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: Good people take loans out to go do that because 104 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: it's sort of like embedded in American culture of like 105 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: the Disneyland trip or Disney World trip. So yeah, good 106 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: to see them paying. People love to see workers win. 107 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: Bless y'all. And before we take a break, Beyroot is 108 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: trending because Israel has bombed a target in Bairut, Lebanon 109 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: in retaliation for what they said was an attack from 110 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: Hesbola over the weekend, where twelve young people were killed. 111 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: This seems like a pretty big escalation. The Israeli government 112 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: has said that this is the end of it. This 113 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: is their response. They're not looking for a larger salation, 114 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: but it I don't know. Again, I think violence begets violence, uh, 115 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: And I don't see how this will end things. And meanwhile, 116 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: there there there's a lot of unrest happening within Israel 117 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: over the arrest of Israeli soldiers who were accused of 118 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: you know, sexually abusing detainees, torturing detainees. Uh. These are 119 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: Palestinian prisoners that they've taken from Goza. Many are just 120 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: people who get caught up in sweeps. And the arrest 121 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: of these Israeli soldiers has kicked off a lot of unrest, 122 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, for people even arguing on Behalf that what 123 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: these soldiers did was heroic. So a lot happening there 124 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: right now. And I we'll see, we'll see, we'll see 125 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: how diplomatic channels are able to I don't know, quell things. 126 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: But as it stands, I don't seeing the footage of 127 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: of the bombing that happened in Beirut, that's not doesn't 128 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: doesn't fill me with feelings of peace. But yes, that's 129 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: the current state of things at the moment. Fun, let's 130 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: take a quick break. Yeah, because meanwhile, evangelicals are like 131 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: they're they're like raw ring, They're like, please use nuclear 132 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: arms against Gaza so we can defeat. 133 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: Like they're really trying to this whole Christian Zionism. They're 134 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: they're they're trying to they're trying to bring the rapture. 135 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 2: I know. That's what's so wild, is like they're like, 136 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 2: it's so hard for the rapture and yeah, and then 137 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 2: no one will just say it, no one will just 138 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: say out loud. It's like, yeah, we're like, look, we 139 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 2: need to set certain things in motion so that Jesus 140 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 2: can come back, so Jesus could come back. 141 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: Or it's like the leftovers, we'll see one of the two, 142 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: just one of the two his wrinkle, piles of clothes everywhere. Yeah, 143 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: but yeah, let's take a quick break. We'll be right 144 00:07:51,000 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: back with some more stories after this, and we're thank you. 145 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: Hey man, what I tell you about that?

All right, edit this 148 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: part in and we are back authoritatively. Nothing happened before 149 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: what you just heard. 150 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: Please edit that out. Let's see. 151 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: Oh, the American Flag Act is trending because just past 152 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: the All American Flag Act Serious business, basically a new 153 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: rule that will ensure that all US flags be completely 154 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: manufactured domestically. Senator Susan Collins claimed that this will quote 155 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: honor the flags significance while also supporting American jobs. 156 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: Versions of this hill Susan, what is the flag significance? 157 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: Okay, America, and we love America, don't we. 158 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: I just want to kiss the flag, don't you. That's 159 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: I think that's what it means. It's not the American 160 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 2: people sjuggling, but hey, where do we get the cheap flag? 161 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: So this is something that has been happening since like 162 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: two thousand and three where people are like that it's 163 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: an outrage that our flags are not being made in 164 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: the United States, and like, there have been proposals going 165 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: back to the eighties. There was the American Flag Fidelity 166 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: Act that was banning the imports of foreign made American flags. 167 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: In twenty eleven, it was reported that ninety four percent 168 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: of flags imported into the United States came from China. 169 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: Oh and the jingoistic paranoia around China made flags, I think, 170 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: as people expect, is stupid because while the vast majority 171 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: of flags imported into the US are from China, there's 172 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: still a small fraction of the flags that are actually 173 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: sold overall. And the you know, quote unquote typical American 174 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: flag that is coming from China or like the little 175 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: plastic ones that people wave at like parades and shit 176 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: like that, not the ones that they use for are 177 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: very important ceremonies and football games. 178 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, those are made in Bangladesh. 179 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: Right, So yeah, it's not really I mean, I guess 180 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: a problem aside from you know, saying like this, this 181 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: is about America and patriotism, so the flags should be 182 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: made in America. It's like Republicans are really passionate about this, 183 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: but it's also the Republicans who are responsible for this 184 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: issue in the first place. 185 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 2: So, like one of the things that led to this. 186 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: So you know, when Trump had all these tariffs on 187 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: Chinese goods, for some reason, he didn't include American flags 188 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: on the list of Chinese imports that would be affected. 189 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 2: Especially Yeah, yeah, he's just like. 190 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's like, uh, you know, maybe stuff with 191 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: anchovy products, stuff with zinc in it. What about the 192 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: American fan, I don't worry about that. Don'try about that. 193 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: Don'try about that. And back in the eighties, the House 194 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: and Senate passed a bill to protect the domestic textile industry, 195 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: with foreign made flags being like a big talking point 196 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 1: at the time. But Reagan vet told it because he 197 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: said it was you know, he's I'm acting in the 198 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: best interest of consumers and workers. So that is why 199 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: the boy nixed that bill. 200 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 2: And here we are. It's about free trade, baby. 201 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's always funny to me when like people 202 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: talk about like it's made in America, like in wearing 203 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: like these maidens. Like this is something that was pointed out, 204 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: like of especially like Maga hats too, that it's all 205 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: about making America great again. But they're seldom made in America. 206 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, all those political slogan t shirts that you see 207 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 2: in uh, let's be real, most parts of America. Yeah, yeah, 208 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: they're all they're all made in China. They're all drop chipped. Yeah. 209 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: And you know, most of those people who like do 210 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 2: those things, it's like they're playing both sides. They make 211 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 2: anti Trump and anti Biden shirts. Right, so everybody, oh yeah, yeah, 212 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 2: they know how to sell baby, they know how to 213 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 2: sell those phrase t shirts. But yeah, I've seen a lot. 214 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 2: It's weird that it's like, it's a funny issue to 215 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: me because one of the things that you could take 216 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 2: pride in in your country is like your industries. Yeah, 217 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: but all of ours have been yeah, bounced on out, 218 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 2: sent away, right, And yeah, it's just like that that's 219 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 2: like a huge potential point of actual pride, because pride 220 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 2: is it's it's a sense of you know, accomplishment. Yeah, 221 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: something to be proud of. Yeah, yeah, merely being born 222 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 2: somewhere is not something to be proud of, right, you 223 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: had no choice in the matter, but yeah. 224 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: Well you know this is I guess the boomerang of capitalism. 225 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: You know, it's cheaper to have stuff made elsewhere, so 226 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: we'll do that. Oops, now, were mad the flags aren't 227 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: made here? And but hey, but you know, the people 228 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: who owned the businesses have made a lot of money, 229 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: so maybe it doesn't matter to them. 230 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 2: It's such a prevalent things like I don't want any 231 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 2: I remember I was looking up a slide whistle because 232 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: I think I think they're funny. I've always just wanted 233 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 2: to carry a slide whistle, but I don't have that 234 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 2: kind of rihiz. That's and that's that's next level. That's 235 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 2: like final boss level. People people were straight up like 236 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: where was this made? I don't want anything made in China? 237 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 2: In my mouth? Like I'm just like, holy shit, wow, 238 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 2: that's very specific. It's very specific, Like what, yeah, what 239 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 2: is do you think? I'm sorry, sir, you're probably typing. 240 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 2: There's on a fucking iPhone, right, Yeah, nothing made here? Yeah, 241 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: there was nothing to take pride in. 242 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: That's the irony of our education and most people's awareness 243 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: of what is happening here. That yeah, that you could 244 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: be like everything, everything's probably made here. Wait no it isn't. 245 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: Oh huh huh. Didn't think of that. And then just 246 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: to I've gotta circle back on the gift that keeps 247 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: on giving. 248 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: Does J d Vance have sex with couches? And what 249 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 2: kind of couch? 250 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: And is he weird? This is currently taking up so 251 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: much of the oxygen on the right. It's baffling how 252 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: the defense is against being weird or jd Vance does 253 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: in fact not do sex. Stuff with upholstered items is 254 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: a huge talking point. Jesse Waters yesterday had a real 255 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: hard time dealing with this. It's just wild to hear 256 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: like these pundits like dignify what was just a joke 257 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: tweet that's not real but has captured the minds of 258 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: people on the internet, and how they have to push 259 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: back against it. So this is Jesse Waters. Just here's 260 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: Jesse Waters having to talk about it on his show. 261 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: They're accusing jd Vance of having sex with a couch. 262 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: Yo. You know, like tangentially reminds me of of Like 263 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: it kind of reminds me of I guess the philosophy 264 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 2: of a rap beef since we just had such such 265 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 2: a big rap beef. Like it's like the Drake situation. 266 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 2: All it has to be is believable. Yeah, it doesn't 267 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 2: have to be true true, but all people have to 268 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 2: do is like believe that you're weird or something's off 269 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 2: and it will just stick. Yeah, the brand Isa, you 270 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: can't get it off of you. Yeah, true, it's there's 271 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 2: no there's no way to rebut someone calling you a weirdo, 272 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 2: what do you think There's nothing you can say? Yeah, 273 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 2: and just going. 274 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: No like they are. It's again, it's it's so true. 275 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: The economy of language there is is is mind blowing. Anyway, 276 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: I'll let Jesse Waters continue is is upset monologue. 277 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 2: Not on account with the count. It's a weird thing 278 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: to do. That's a weird thing. They're calling him weird. 279 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: I don't think Kamala Harris is going to pick anyone 280 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: as weird and creepy as Jade Vance. 281 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 2: Frankly, jd Vance just dumb Vance is pretty weird. It's 282 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 2: not just a weird style that he brings. It's that 283 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 2: this leads to weird policies. They're just weird. Donald Trump 284 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: and is Weirdo running made We're extreme, more weird, more erradical. 285 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: The agenda, the way they talk to people, the way 286 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: they address people, it is bizarre. It's weird. 287 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: It is weird. 288 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 2: Well, it's just plain weird. 289 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: Democrats made up a story about jd Vance having sex 290 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: with a cow and called them weird one hundred and fifty. 291 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 2: Times this weekend.

What is going on? They? Yeah? 295 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: And it's also interesting to see how like they're also 296 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: saying that it's from that is the reason, like it's 297 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: the couch thing that makes it weird. And rather than 298 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: summing up all of their like hateful rhetoric, all of 299 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: their regressive worldviews, their hateful world views and merely just 300 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: branding that as weird, to say, like that is actually 301 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: not the norm for people, that is not the normal 302 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: way to view a person who's in the LGBTQ community, 303 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: or an immigrant or a woman of color or women 304 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: is just weird. And that has been a huge thing 305 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: because a lot of it for the longest time, you know, 306 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: Republicans wanted to say, like we're the ones who are 307 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: upholding what is normal.
