14
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 3: dot com. Hello everybody, we are officially done with the

15
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: first Joint Address slash State of the Union. According to

16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 3: our research, if it was a State of the Union,

17
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 3: which can we all agree to it.

18
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: Is, it would be the longest State of the Union.

19
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 3: Ever delivered by an American president, beating significantly President Clinton's

20
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 3: record in the year of two thousand, which was an

21
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: hour and twenty eight minutes. This one, by my rough

22
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 3: back of the Napkin math, is roughly around an hour

23
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 3: and forty three And yeah, it was long.

24
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: It was long.

25
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 4: Could have used an edit.

26
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: Could have used a few more kind of reminded.

27
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 3: Remember, God, I'm trying to think of the first one

28
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: of the first ones we covered here where Biden was

29
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 3: just like literally a laundry list.

30
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: I think we were all watching.

31
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 4: It's very common.

32
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: It's very common.

33
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: I mean, let's not constituencies, they got to check the

34
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: box on whatever.

35
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 4: But yeah, it needed a good edit.

36
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: It was long.

37
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 3: It was long, and so that's we're trying to call

38
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: some of the best takeaways for all of you.

39
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: I would say the biggest one was no new.

40
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: Policy announcement on Ukraine, but there were some significant domestic

41
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 3: policy events that are that definitely bear registration. But the

42
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: thing is is that we should probably start with the

43
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: Democratic protest by Congressman Al Green, who opened the remarks.

44
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: There was some initial booing that was happening from the

45
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: Democratic side. Congressman Green was standing for the duration of

46
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: the first couple of minutes before he was kicked out.

47
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: Anyone want to saying anything before we before.

48
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: We make people subject people to more clips from this

49
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: very long we just it just gets on top of

50
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: the like sure top of mind thoughts. I mean to me,

51
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: the big takeaways were the actually lack of new policy

52
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 2: specifics with regard to tariffs in Ukraine in particular, where

53
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: I think, you know, that's certainly where we perked up

54
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: and we're listening like, is you going to.

55
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 4: Say, are the terriffs on? Are the tariffs off?

56
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: Still don't know, which I think probably indicates that the

57
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: signaling that they might be rolled back could be the case,

58
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: because he certainly wasn't touting the Canada in Mexico twenty

59
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: five percent across the board. He was focusing on, Oh

60
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: we did this with China with steel. Oh we're looking

61
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: we're doing these reciprocal tariffs April, second, April, second down

62
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: the road. He mentioned Canada and Mexico, but he did

63
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: not specifically tout the terrorifts that just went into effect,

64
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: which you know, if I'm reading in between the lines,

65
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 2: I feel like, Okay, well, that's probably an indication that

66
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: it is Lutnik was right. They are probably rolling back

67
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: or diminished to something.

68
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: Ukraine. I kind of feel the same way.

69
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 2: You know, he talked about the letter that he got

70
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 2: from Zelensky that we talked about earlier that is already public.

71
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: He talked about the desire to make a deal, and

72
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: you know, moving forward, So I think probably the reporting

73
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: about them continuing to work on this rare semnial deal

74
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: is also probably let's too accurate. I mean, it seems

75
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: like based on what he's saying, but he did not

76
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: confirm any of those pieces.

77
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is actually kind of surprising that there was

78
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: no new major initiative either on the tariffs on Ukraine,

79
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 3: especially because they were hyping that from news level. A

80
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: lot of the speech was basically messaging, So I was

81
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: clocking the time, so statistically most people turn off around

82
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: ten pm. Just they watched the first like thirty to

83
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: forty five minutes. Yeah, the first thirty forty five minutes.

84
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: So this is basically just a campaign speech. It was

85
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: like we won the election, historic landslide mandate. That's with

86
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: the Algreen protests and all of that happened. There was

87
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: a lot of culture war stuff there during that time period,

88
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: a lot of DEI trans CRT basically all the greatest

89
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: hits uh from Trump. We eventually then started to get

90
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: to the economy, doge and social security, and we're going

91
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: to play some of that for you, But any other thoughts.

92
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: One of you guys gives your Mirror summary too before

93
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: we play, at least on the tariffs.

94
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 5: On the tariffs front, at least he described why he

95
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 5: was going to do them, Like with with the Canada

96
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 5: and Mexico ones. He's just been telling us they've been

97
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 5: ripping us off and we subsidized Canada. And that's quite

98
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 5: light on those though. He went back to the old school.

99
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 5: We're going to if you're not a if you don't

100
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 5: have steel, you don't have a country. We're going to

101
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 5: make steel, right, and so we're going to do these

102
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 5: targeted tariffs on steel and like aluminum, like so at

103
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 5: least like there was some like ethos behind it, like

104
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 5: back to the Oh, that's that's the thing about tariffs.

105
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 5: You're trying to actually build up industry inside the country

106
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 5: rather than we've been suffering through this like fiction about

107
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 5: these these tariffs being fentanyl related.

108
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: I mean, heyl there too, the minuscules.

109
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: I can either agree with it or disagree with it.

110
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 4: That's you know.

111
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 6: I think we've spent almost a decade now always potentially

112
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 6: anticipating I don't mean we so much, I mean the

113
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 6: media more broadly, some new version of Donald Trump, like

114
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 6: he doesn't have to run for re election now. He

115
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 6: felt like he was coasting on these high approval ratings

116
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 6: as his administration started.

117
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 7: He's got Elon Musk by his side.

118
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 6: And what he did was give a very like classic Trump, rambling, riffing,

119
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 6: very partisan. He ribbed Pocahontas in front of her face

120
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 6: like Elizabeth Warren. He called her Pocahontas during this media.

121
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, what she must have done something something about the war,

122
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: like hold something up, Like I'm saying.

123
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: What was this?

124
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: The only I saw her like scrolling on her phone

125
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 2: at one point. But I didn't even make her like

126
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: participating in the protest whatever. But I mean, I don't

127
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: know that she necessarily had to do it. He just

128
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 2: has like animistic He just you know, whatever.

129
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 7: It's a thing he doesn't changed, I think change on.

130
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: Yes and no.

131
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: The style of the speech, yes, typical Trump, you know,

132
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: going through his greatest hits in terms of his grand

133
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: election victory, and you know, calling Democrats out to their

134
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: fail like you would never clap for me, no matter what,

135
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 2: you know, putting them on.

136
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: Flats like that.

137
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: It's so said, no mater, how I did what I did,

138
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: it wouldn't be enough for you people. And then you know,

139
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: at the end of course, he's got to. He goes

140
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: back to retell the story of the assassination attempt and

141
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: how he was saved by God to save the country,

142
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: which makes me very uncomfortable when people start putting themselves

143
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: in those sort of messianic terms.

144
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 4: But you know, again classic Trump up.

145
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: But you know, on the like on the economic policy front,

146
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: as I'm just listening to the actual policies, like this

147
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: is a freaking Paul Ryan speech, Like we're talking about deregulation,

148
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 2: we're talking about social security, we're talking about tax cuts.

149
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it was very I was like, this is

150
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 2: a coke network policy agenda.

151
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: You have a with tariffs?

152
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: He did, Yeah, that got but again that he's like,

153
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: I mean, we're not even clear on what that is.

154
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: But the piece that he frontloaded with was all the

155
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: just like standard conventional Republican stuff that he ran so

156
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: hard against and positioned himself so hard against back in

157
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. Now we all know the record of the

158
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: actual Trump administration the first time around, where their biggest

159
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: accomplishment was a giant tax cut for the rich.

160
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 4: But to me, that combined with he.

161
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: Was you know, trying to get applause lines on oh

162
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: we're going to get rid of the budget deficit, and

163
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: then reading down the list of all the wasteful government

164
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: programs like the transgender mice, you know, all of those things,

165
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: like that's Fox. I used to do a lot of

166
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: Fox News hits back in the you know, post to.

167
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 4: Like twenty eleven time frame.

168
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 7: That was the spot.

169
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 4: And yeah, it was every day.

170
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: It was like, oh my god, they spent ten dollars

171
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: per month in at this conference.

172
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: Or they're always very love it was all.

173
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: And so I'm like, oh, this is such a throwback

174
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: to the Paul Ryan talking points, just delivered through a

175
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: Trump you know Trumpian pinas.

176
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 5: All that chaos and all we get is like different

177
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 5: lies about social security.

178
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's out.

179
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 5: There saying that like one hundred and sixty year olds

180
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 5: are getting solid security.

181
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: And it's like even Fox News actually debunks that talking.

182
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: Okay, let's say let's say that commentary. So do you

183
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: want to just do the social skillity, Go.

184
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 2: Ahead and cueue up social security. Let me see what

185
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: number number five? Number five guys, if you can cueue

186
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: this up where he starts talking about social security and

187
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: he's reiterating the lies that Elon spread about the you know,

188
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: people who are supposedly three hundred years old or whatever

189
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: and still getting so scary. We know none of this

190
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: is true, but it doesn't matter. It's still in the

191
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 2: present speech. If we've got that, let's go ahead and

192
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: roll it.

193
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 8: We're also identifying shocking levels of incompetence and probable fraud

194
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 8: in the Social Security program for our seniors, and that

195
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 8: areur seniors and people that we love rely on. Believe

196
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 8: it or not, Government databases list four point seven million

197
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 8: Social Security members from people aged one hundred to one

198
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 8: hundred nine years old.

199
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 2: I mean, make no mistake when you're setting up. And

200
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: this is why it was significant.

201
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 4: That Trump brought it up.

202
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: When you were bringing this up, you were creating a

203
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: pretext to cut the program, and again totally counter to

204
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: the way Trump has always positioned himself. And he'll use this,

205
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: these lies about alleged fraud to justify the cuts. And

206
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: we already see, you know, dogs gutting the Social Security

207
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 2: administration is actually a warning from Martin Malley, who was

208
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: previously Social Security Administrator, that it cannot the system cannot

209
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: handle that level of cuts, and that people should start

210
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: saving their money in anticipation that the program could face

211
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 2: disruption just from not.

212
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 4: Having a enough staff the hotline.

213
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 2: You know, people who answer the hotlines are being cut

214
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 2: offices across the country are being cut. So to me,

215
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 2: when the word social security came out of his mouth

216
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: in the context of like, oh, there's all this giant

217
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: fraud et cetera, et cetera, that is a huge indication

218
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: of direction.

219
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 3: That was the most important political moment of the speech

220
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: to me. I think I said that to you guys

221
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: at the time. I was like, that is very important.

222
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 3: Not only is it Donald Trump endorsing the elon strategy

223
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: around that, but he's taking ownership of what is very

224
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 3: likely to be extremely unpopular. And this gets to the

225
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 3: way that this will all happen. So it's very unlikely

226
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: to see a top line across the board cut of

227
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 3: Social Security right pass by the Congress and the next

228
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 3: tax bill, even in terms of entitlement reform or whatever.

229
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 3: But there may be at least elements to chip away

230
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: at the program or at the very least like reduced

231
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: successibility now currently regardless, I mean, you've got your hand

232
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 3: basically right there on the rail the most potent political weapon.

233
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I remember being with the four of you

234
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 3: guys talking when Biden had that problem where he's like hey,

235
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: He's like, okay, we're all agreeing, we're not going to

236
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 3: cut Social Security. So the problem that they have is

237
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 3: even if they pursue no cuts, is that even tampering

238
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: with the program is going to have tremendous blowback from

239
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: a lot of people. But last thing on this, they

240
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 3: may be able to get around it because they also

241
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: said during the speech the no tax on Social Security,

242
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 3: which we all won't know, will be extremely popular with

243
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 3: a lot of seniors. I mean how much I'm thinking

244
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: if you're one hundred percent reliant on Social Security, like

245
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: that's what probably what almost ten fifteen to twenty five

246
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: percent of your income that's going back to tax. I've

247
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: said before, I think it's crazy, Like why does the

248
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 3: government give you money if just to take it back?

249
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 3: It actually is very inefficient.

250
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 5: The Reagan Compromise brought that in, which is what to

251
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 5: have income tax on social It didn't used to be taxed.

252
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes no sense.

253
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 3: It's like, why would you give you a lump sum

254
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: of money and then take a portion of it back

255
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 3: and expect you to file it and then we'll take

256
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: it back forty five days later.

257
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous.

258
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 6: If there's only one interesting thing other than everything you

259
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 6: guys have said that I noticed on this point is

260
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 6: his line about social security as he started this conversation.

261
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 6: He is slightly new framing from the old Republican talking point.

262
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 6: He says, we are also identifying shocking levels of incompetence

263
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 6: and probable fraud in the social security program our seniors

264
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 6: rely on, which is interesting because Republicans used to just

265
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 6: demonize social Security, and in this he's trying to frame

266
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 6: it as saying, I'm saving our seniors from the fraud

267
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 6: that is dragging down social security. To Ryan's point about

268
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 6: you're just dressing up the same old talking points about

269
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 6: social security in different language, that's basically the best example

270
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 6: of it. He's saying, we're doing all of this tea

271
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 6: party talking points or all this tea party rhetoric if

272
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 6: you tweak it to say we're doing this to save

273
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 6: the program.

274
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 5: Paul Ryan two was saying he was going to save

275
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 5: social security. Yes, by privatizy.

276
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: He was like, We're going to raise a retirement agent.

277
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: But the idea the way it's always framed, Oh my god,

278
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: this is going that I care so much about is

279
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: going bankrupt and we have to save it.

280
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 4: Like that's the way it's always Frank trying to.

281
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 5: End since the nineteen thirties, Right, we really loved so much.

282
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: But we're just really interested in the best interest of

283
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: this program. That's what these cuts are all about. So,

284
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: but it is a little bit of a twist.

285
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 4: On that, but it's not that far from the way

286
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 4: that it was portrayed in the Paul Ryan era.

287
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 7: But it's not.

288
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's the thing, Like overall, it did

289
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 6: sound like twenty twelve.

290
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Look so at this point, anyone who's surprised

291
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 3: by that, Like, I don't know what it was Like

292
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 3: we had him for whole first time, didn't we Like

293
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: where all of this went through.

294
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: He said he won't touch security, Medicare. He probably won't

295
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: at the top.

296
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 3: Line in the way that Paul Ryan and all those

297
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 3: other folks will this chipping away and all of that,

298
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 3: Like I don't, I don't. I'm not yet sure how

299
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: far they're going to go or if they're really that stupid,

300
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 3: Like are you really so stupid that you would actually

301
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: acts what's seventy five percent of the SSA offices or

302
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 3: privatize it or whatever.

303
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: It's like, good luck. See how it happened to George W.

304
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 6: Bush in a project two thousand and five, a project

305
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 6: led by two billionaires.

306
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.

307
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: I mean the optive optics of it would be insane,

308
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: especially if it happened at the very same time that

309
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 3: you passed a massive tax cut and extension for the rich, which.

310
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: They are all on record they're going to do it, Like.

311
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: The only question is if they also include the no

312
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 3: tax on tips. I will say I do think that

313
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 3: the tips and social security thing could potentially I wouldn't

314
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 3: say it saved them, but make it more of a

315
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 3: wash than the last time. Twenty seventeen was just so

316
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: naked in terms of what the actual policy was. But

317
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: the tips thing, I mean, we all know it's gonna

318
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: be very popular and they're going to message the hell

319
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: out of it. And same with the no tax on

320
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 3: social security. I could see that being like some sort

321
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 3: of counter valance and all that. But I mean, look, they're.

322
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: Playing with fire. They're playing with the same fire they're

323
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: playing with under Rick Scott. Like it just never ends.

324
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't know why.

325
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: There's also no guarantees that those policies make it in.

326
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not spell down in the Republican budget

327
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: and actually.

328
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: The yeah, they don't want to do it.

329
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: The numbers as they exist, you know, and what they

330
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: have said that they're working with in terms of the

331
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: amount that they've allocated for tax cuts would not be

332
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: sufficient to include no tax on tips and no tax

333
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: on we know, the four trillion dollar tax cut, like

334
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: that part is locked in the rest of it. And

335
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: then you also have to throw in there the salt

336
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: tax situation.

337
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got to go to twenty percent.

338
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: For them as well, and that's yeah, that's expensive. So

339
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: there's also just like no guarantee that any of that

340
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: actually happens. And like I said, it was not actually

341
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: in the Republican budget that passed the House that Trump

342
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: had backed.

343
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: The ideal is we all just stop all this fakery

344
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: on the debt and we just include all those things.

345
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 3: You know. It's like can actually put some of the

346
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 3: good stuff in there at the very least. So we

347
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 3: talked about social security, we should definitely talk about doze.

348
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we've got number four guys, if you could

349
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: queue that up.

350
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 3: So Elon got a huge shout out from Donald Trump.

351
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 3: Donald Trump may have slipped up a little bit here, though,

352
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 3: because in this acknowledgment he not only acknowledges Elon, he

353
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 3: actually says Elon is the head of Doze, which is

354
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 3: the opposite of what his government is currently arguing in court.

355
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 3: But nonetheless it was important because.

356
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 4: Amy there to get her round of apply America.

357
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: She's in South America.

358
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 4: She's the one that playing.

359
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: She's a She's a three hundred and twenty six year

360
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: old woman in South America.

361
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: Uh so Elon got a shout out.

362
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 3: This was important just for I mean, look like Maga

363
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 3: is now like equals Elon. And you really see this

364
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 3: where Trump acknowledges him, he gets the entire Republican Party.

365
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: The optics of this are.

366
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 3: Wild who are on the floor of the House of

367
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: Representatives to look up and to clap at Elon.

368
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: As Elon stands. He did wear a suit.

369
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 3: Though, so apparently the guy does O one number four guys,

370
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: let's take a lesson, and.

371
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 8: To that end, I have created the brand new Department

372
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 8: of Government Efficiency Go perhaps you've.

373
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 9: Heard of it, which is headed by Elon Musk, who's

374
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 9: in the gallery tonight.

375
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: So there you go not only huge Elon shout out,

376
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 3: but then you know, subsequently talking about there was a

377
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 3: good I would say, what do you guys think like

378
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 3: five to seven.

379
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: Minute period of just listing dose stuff.

380
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 3: That's where the transmis thing comes from. So that I

381
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 3: thought was pretty important just in terms of not only

382
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 3: not backing away from Doge openly endorsing it, making Elon

383
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 3: a central part of the state of the Union talking

384
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 3: here about the social security So on the economic front,

385
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: this is the one where they they don't yet seem

386
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 3: to sense what they perceive, that they perceive any danger.

387
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: I think the only sign of it maybe is on

388
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: the egg price line that he did deliver.

389
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all I really saw, how he kind of

390
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: opened the economic piece. But yeah, I was just trying

391
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 2: to look back up the tweet. But Portnoy had tweeted

392
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: something about like Trump had a line that was, you know,

393
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 2: will no longer be ruled.

394
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 4: By unelected bureaucrats?

395
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: And port Nooy right, really was like, well, that's kind

396
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: of a tough thing to make really, and Elon is

397
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 2: out there running the entire government as co president, so

398
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: that is ruled by unelected bureaucrats.

399
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, why Dave's Matt is because there's a crypto recession

400
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 3: right now and he's got shit coins, so he still

401
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 3: needs to sell to that.

402
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 4: He's working through.

403
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: He's working through some things, but still interesting to see

404
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: the Portnoy response there. I mean, listen, it's this is

405
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: the most significant difference between Trump two point zero and

406
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 2: Trump one point zero is elon And you know, you

407
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: see it in the way that Trump has shifted his ideology.

408
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 4: I mean always some.

409
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 2: Of his populist rhetoric and approach was fakery, given the

410
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: commitment to tax cuts for the rich.

411
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 4: But the austerity.

412
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 2: Framing, like spending all of these minutes going through these

413
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 2: quote unquote wasteful programs which they frame us fraud and

414
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 2: that always irritates me because it's really just like spending

415
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: that you don't like. Ryan grim here is the one

416
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 2: who has found the most fraud than anyone.

417
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: I did not get credit from the podium was outrageous.

418
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 1: I gave you credit. Were Trump right?

419
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 4: They're the ones that found the four hundred million dollars the.

420
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: Armored Tesla thing that actually was It looks like they

421
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: like cook the books to be like, oh, we could

422
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 2: slip this in and no one will notice wrong, Ryan

423
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: Grim will notice. So I think Jeremy Scahill called it

424
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: the Department of Grim Efficiency.

425
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: That's pretty good.

426
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 4: I like it.

427
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 3: That's a dosee I could get behind.

428
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 5: Had four hundred million dollars armored Tesla's who needs an

429
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 5: armored tesla?

430
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: Losing action?

431
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: You could have set electric vehicles and then it would

432
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 2: be like, you know, very lip coded, get.

433
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: Away with it, all right, We have the egg price,

434
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: guys number three, can you queue that up?

435
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: So this was an important line for Trump.

436
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 3: It's kind of how it began the Economics Action, but

437
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: it was an acknowledgment of being elected with a mandate

438
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 3: on inflation and trying.

439
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: To address it.

440
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 3: So let's go ahead and put it up there on

441
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: the screen and play it for everyone, just to give

442
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 3: everyone a taste.

443
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 10: Joe Biden especially, let the price of eggs get out

444
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 10: of control. The egg price is out of control, and

445
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 10: we're working hard to get it back down.

446
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 8: Secretary, do a good job on that. You inherited a

447
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 8: total mess from the previous administration.

448
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: Do a good job, all right.

449
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 3: So you can also see some of the Democrats that

450
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 3: were leaving there with the resist t shirts that were on.

451
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 4: I think that was. I think that was Jasmine Crockett.

452
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: Yes, it was. Do we want to clount on some

453
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: of the Democrats? What do you think, Well, me, let.

454
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 4: Me climb on the egg thing.

455
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: Well, it's just, I mean, hard to really make this

456
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: case on a day when you announced twenty five percent

457
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: across the board terrace Canada and Mexico. And he has

458
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 2: said that he does not really think that inflation is

459
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: the reason that people voted for him, and that has

460
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 2: certainly been reflective in the lack of any sort of

461
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 2: an approach to dealing with inflation. And so to me,

462
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 2: it was really noteworthy that this was kind of the

463
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 2: first he did a bunch of culture war stuff and

464
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: a lot of like patting himself on the back for

465
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: an election victory and trying to own the Libs and

466
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: the Dems whatever, and then the first economic.

467
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 4: Piece he gets to is eggs.

468
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: So it did indicate to me like, Okay, the administration,

469
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: whoever wrote this speech and Trump himself feel like they've

470
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 2: got a bit of a problem here.

471
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 4: And the pulse have reflected that if you ask people,

472
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 4: do you feel like they.

473
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: Are doing enough on prices, pretty overwhelming when people are

474
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: like no, I do not feel like they're doing enough

475
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: on prices, and that is one of the political challenges

476
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: and warning signs for them. Also, as we played in

477
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 2: that Harry Entin sat before we got into this, you know,

478
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 2: his numbers, his economic numbers in terms of the approval

479
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: of his handling of the economy are low, and that's

480
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 2: always been a strong suit for him.

481
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 4: So I do feel like they were.

482
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 2: Trying to play a little bit of cleanup on the

483
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 2: egg prices thing, you know, blame it on Biden, say well,

484
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: I promise we're working really hard on it, et cetera.

485
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 4: And that was noteworthy to me.

486
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could work for now, Like I said, you know,

487
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 3: you have a little bit of runway, but after two three.

488
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: Months, like you know, the runways, the runway is going

489
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: to be over.

490
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 3: Especially if they feel all this doze stuff. This is

491
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 3: my greatest I mean, I still can't get away from this.

492
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 3: It's almost fifty days in to the Trump administration, almost

493
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 3: halfway of the first one hundred days. The most consequential

494
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 3: part and what it's just been doge elon Like there's

495
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 3: been almost nothing else.

496
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: I haven't even seen deportation take Matt.

497
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 3: You know, like that I saw I think it was

498
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 3: Joe Wisenthal said that he's like the only thing that's

499
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: really surprised me other than Doge is the fact that

500
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 3: deportation has not taken such a center stage like they've

501
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 3: had Tom Homan on, They've had a few like high.

502
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: Profiles out there. Whatever.

503
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jack, they're trying to you know, I was watching

504
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 3: Fox News at home, not by choice because the whole

505
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 3: Ukraine thing. I was trying to watch it live, and

506
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 3: I got an ad from Kirsty No telling I legal

507
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: immigrants to go home.

508
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: Like are they watching Fox News?

509
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 4: There's some ways that they That's as.

510
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: I was shocked by it. I was like, this is

511
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: like the most inicient views of money.

512
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 3: These are a bunch of like seventy year old white

513
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 3: boomers who are watching this right now daytime Fox as well.

514
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 5: So anyway, he did the Guantanamo things because it's a spectacle.

515
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was just a number he needs.

516
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 3: But that's my point on that is that even with that,

517
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 3: I mean, as far as I know all of that,

518
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: it hasn't been like a particularly large number.

519
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: It.

520
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 3: They haven't necessarily been prioritizing criminals as opposed to like

521
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 3: just whoever they happen to round up. There's never been

522
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 3: any like transparency around it. They haven't released the daily

523
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: figures the way that they have. Instead, they're trying to

524
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 3: make these flash like spectacle things like you guys are saying,

525
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 3: but like empirically, I mean, you can just look at

526
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: the number and you can say this is not impressive whatsoever.

527
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you know, give credit where due.

528
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 3: I guess on the border crossings, but that's not the

529
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 3: same thing as opposed to kind of what was promised.

530
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: So if you look at you know, on the inflation

531
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 3: and the immigration point where there's two things, I would

532
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 3: say he's probably the most responsible for getting him elected.

533
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 3: You have not seen the vast majority of the energy

534
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 3: getting focused on that he is hoping. And this speech

535
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 3: really did crystallize a lot of like the Trump victory

536
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: to me is look, I mean, he if you listen

537
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: to the first forty five minutes of this, which statistically

538
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 3: most people are watching, what was it was culture war

539
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 3: all day long?

540
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: Right, he believed it.

541
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: Wasn't just bad it was, but it was that it

542
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,479
Speaker 3: was that, but it was like trans it was the

543
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 3: greatest hits, like of all the Republican culture with.

544
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: Our country important, woke, Our country will be woke.

545
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 2: Free speech is back on a day that you know,

546
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 2: when they're announcing their requires people actually read.

547
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 6: He went on vaccines as well, like this was a

548
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 6: lot of culture we're talking points.

549
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 7: He was actually talking about how I can pull this up.

550
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Bobby Kennedy is looking into Bobby Kennedy is

551
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 2: looking into.

552
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: We should look at he said.

553
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 7: This is the quote he said we have.

554
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: He's not at the end, but there was much later on.

555
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 7: Right, But it's like the culture war thing.

556
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 6: He said, since nineteen seventy five, rates of child cancer

557
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 6: have increased more than forty percent. Reversing this trend as

558
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 6: one of the top priorities of our new presidential Commission

559
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 6: to Make America Healthy Again, Chared Bran, new Secretary of

560
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 6: HHS RFK Junior. Our goals to get ToxS inst out

561
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,959
Speaker 6: of our environment, poisons out of our foods, supplying keep

562
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 6: our children healthy and strong. As an example, not long ago,

563
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 6: one in ten thousand children had autism.

564
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 7: Now it's one in thirty.

565
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 2: So the first part of that makes me so irritated, because,

566
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 2: first of all, obviously they just cut a bunch of

567
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: funding for research, including into you know, cancer, and in addition,

568
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: they have spent the first period in office rolling back

569
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 2: some of the restrictions on chemicals like pfasts.

570
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's just so I don't know.

571
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 6: Me, it's just so he ended that section of a

572
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 6: speech by saying something is wrong and we're going to

573
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 6: find out what it is.

574
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: So I mean, something is wrong. It's true.

575
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, of that is.

576
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: RK.

577
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 7: Junior is looking into the vaccines. I don't idea.

578
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: I didn't.

579
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 3: I mean, I if you want it that, if you

580
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 3: want that, you could take that from it.

581
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I didn't see it was necessarily.

582
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: I mean, he was obviously signaling it if he.

583
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 3: Like for the people who want to hear that, but

584
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 3: it's also like on an empirical basis when people hear

585
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 3: that those I'm not against.

586
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: That, right, but it's me. It's my point around it

587
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: all was.

588
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 3: I was like, he believes that that is the most

589
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 3: important reason why you want to me.

590
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: That's what.

591
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 3: There's no other reason why you would start forty five

592
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 3: minutes of your speech off this way.

593
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: It's obvious.

594
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 3: So he thinks that this alone is going to be

595
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 3: enough to coast him. And by the way, I think

596
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 3: he could be right.

597
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 11: I mean, there's a huge you know, the whole Maga

598
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 11: universe online and all this, all the transgender like the

599
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 11: woman who's standing up, who was hit by a woman

600
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 11: by the.

601
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: Volleyball thing like that.

602
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 3: You know, that's what they live for, right, Like that's

603
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 3: that's the reason Ben Shapiro and Matt Walshalls are in

604
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 3: the audience.

605
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 6: But it's it's also to get a contrast with Democrats

606
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 6: not applauding those lines. It's very intentional, and that's I

607
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 6: think it's powerful.

608
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 4: With Peyton mcnat I read it a little different. You

609
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 4: won't be surprised to hear.

610
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,719
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, it's the exact thing that Democrats do

611
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 2: when they want to cover for their lack of agenda

612
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 2: that delivers for working class people. They fix it on

613
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 2: identity and cultural issues. And it's the same shit. It's

614
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: just from Trump. This is you know, they like, people

615
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: aren't happy with how the economy is going. They feel

616
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: that it's getting worse and it already wasn't great. The

617
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: you know, obviously today the stock market fell off a

618
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: cliff and you've got, as we were saying before, the

619
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 2: super sentiment can super spending down, and there's warnings in.

620
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 4: The manufacturing sector.

621
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 2: You've got this warning from the Atlanta Fed like people

622
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 2: are not satisfied with that direction. And he really isn't

623
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,239
Speaker 2: offering anything in the near term that you can point to.

624
00:27:55,359 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 2: I mean maybe no tax on tips, maybe, but so instead, ed,

625
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: what do you do You usher in an agenda that's

626
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: been really good for people like Elon Musk and other

627
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 2: oligarchs by saying, oh.

628
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 4: This is about DEI this is about woke. Woke is over.

629
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 4: Don't you feel great?

630
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 2: So that's how I read the reason why it was

631
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: front loaded with culture war, the same reason that you

632
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: know that Democrats who weren't delivering for working class people

633
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 2: also would be in the culture war.

634
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm not disagreeing with the word you're saying.

635
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I do think it's still obviously very

636
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 3: politically powerful. Unfortunately, this is the hold that Trump has.

637
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, guys, please remind me on a future show.

638
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 3: A listener of our show who works for the DoD

639
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 3: who voted for Trump sent me a very long email

640
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: about why he voted for Republicans even though he works

641
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 3: within the d D and his reasoning. It reminds me

642
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: of all this because it was for cultural war reasons,

643
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 3: specifically talking about Pepjoes whatever. If you recall I made

644
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 3: that comment, I was like, I don't I was like,

645
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 3: anyone who voted for the federal voted for Trump, and

646
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 3: he worked for the federal government.

647
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't really know what to tell you.

648
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 3: I was like, you're kind of an idiot if you

649
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 3: didn't think that something like this was going to happen

650
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 3: to me. He sent me a very long justification for

651
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 3: why he did it. I actually think it bears discussion

652
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 3: with all of us. But that's a tease for the futures.

653
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 4: Her. Now he's still like, yeah, I did the right then, No,

654
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 4: he does not regret it.

655
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: He's voted for Trump for three times.

656
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 3: He voted for Trump because Democrats could not define what

657
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 3: a woman is. But he is upset about the doche

658
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 3: cuts and in the in the logic of the email,

659
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: it really hit home for me why I still think

660
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 3: that this is very politically, very politically strong.

661
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: Territory for Trump. Now how long he can ride on it.

662
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Right, we'll be America.

663
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 3: They'll give you the runway, and this will you know,

664
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 3: this will keep people feeling as if things are very different.

665
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 3: It's still you know, only a month or so into

666
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 3: the new administration, but how long until it gets old?

667
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: And that's when I think it starts to become from And.

668
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 6: This is what I don't think Republicans are doing this

669
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 6: on purpose, but I do think one of the big

670
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 6: lessons for Democrats should be that if you're asked to

671
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 6: choose between Trump and Republicans, red meat, culture warfare and Democrats,

672
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 6: for many voters, Republicans still come out on top, even

673
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 6: if they don't like the way that Donald Trump talks. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

674
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 6: And so that's where I know we're going to talk

675
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 6: about al Green. We teased it a little bit earlier

676
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 6: and the like resist t shirt walk out the paddle

677
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 6: signs that looked like, as some people were joking, fogo

678
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 6: to chow can bring me my meat signs.

679
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 4: It's yeah, it was.

680
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 6: And so again for a lot of voters that Democrats

681
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 6: are like, it's I get it.

682
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 7: Like Trump.

683
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 6: Trump went for an hour and forty minutes an extremely

684
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 6: partisan speech and said some wild stuff and called the

685
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 6: senator Pocahontas to her face.

686
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 7: But then they look at the Democrats, They're like you

687
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 7: guys deserve it.

688
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 3: So let's start with the Al Green thing. That what

689
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: is that number one? So this was the first Democratic protest.

690
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 3: I thought there were going to be a lot more.

691
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 3: Actually I was surprised that there won't again.

692
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: A rock star. Yeah, they got to a very start

693
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: and then became extremely lame.

694
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: So Al Green here being escorted out of the House chamber.

695
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: He was shaking, literally shaking his cane.

696
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, not since Charles Sumner, right right, Ryan, Not

697
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 3: since Charles Sumner is a cane so loudly been felt

698
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 3: on the floor of the United States Congress.

699
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: Let's take a listen.

700
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 12: Finding that members continue to engage in willful and concert

701
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 12: the disruption or proper decorum, the Chair now directs the

702
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 12: Sergeant at Arms to restore order, remove this gentleman from

703
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 12: the chamber.

704
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: All right, So that was Al Green, congressman getting escorted out.

705
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 3: He said he was shouting at him he have no

706
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 3: mandate to cut medicaid.

707
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: Let's also put a number. Apparently that's what he that's

708
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: what he claims kicks out.

709
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 3: Apparently people only heard you have no mandate. Let's go

710
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 3: to the number two. Please the screenshot. Can you guys

711
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: put that up while I talk. This is the one

712
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 3: that's going pretty viral from what people are saying, it's lame.

713
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 3: Some of the what are the like placards being piled up, signs.

714
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: Small signs, small round bingo like signs.

715
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 3: Being held up by Democrats include musk stels, that's a lie,

716
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 3: that's from Rashida to leave, she's a whiteboard, false false,

717
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 3: musk steels, save medicaid, musk steels some false and that going.

718
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 7: They should have all said save medicaid.

719
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 3: Seriously, Yeah, I agree, I was like, save medicaid. That

720
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 3: is probably the most powerful one. You Crystal scent to

721
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 3: this from the Daily Show. Fun fact, Democrats are wearing

722
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 3: pink tonight as a symbolic protest against people who want

723
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 3: them to do something meaningful. So that's pretty damn Yeah.

724
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 7: So personal.

725
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,239
Speaker 2: I mean, clearly like they are getting the message that

726
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 2: people want them to do more, but they just have

727
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 2: no idea what that actually looks like.

728
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 4: I will say I thought.

729
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 2: Rocanna and Tim Walls had a really good idea, which

730
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 2: is all these Republicans are like, oh, we're not going

731
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: to do town halls anymore, and they're like, okay, well

732
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 2: come your district, new town. You know, that's smart, and

733
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: I think we'll play really well and you know, put

734
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: pressure on Republicans like, ah shit, this guy's doing a

735
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 2: town all my district. I guess I need to show up,

736
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: or at least it's sort of shameful to them to

737
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: not show up. Bernie Sanders obviously, he's also I think,

738
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: delivering a response along with Alyssa's luck in.

739
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 3: Yes, she's speaking right now, she's speaking right now.

740
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm monitoring the quote.

741
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, the deep stat is responding Alyssa's sludge.

742
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 3: Currently says Reagan is rolling in his grave afirmatively talking

743
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 3: about Reagan.

744
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: Let's see what else here.

745
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 2: But I also think, you know, the Bernie Sanders oligarchy

746
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 2: tour going to specifically swing Republican districts where you know,

747
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 2: the Republican House they need every single vote to be

748
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: able to do anything, and so he's recognized that as

749
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 2: a pressure point. I think that's also very intelligent. But yeah,

750
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 2: I mean these things just read is like sort of.

751
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 5: The only indication that Democrats would be getting the message

752
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 5: would be if they said, you know what, Bernie, you'd

753
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 5: do the response, yes, that would at least be surprising

754
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 5: to people.

755
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 3: So instead they picked a CIA spook from Michigan who

756
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 3: actually says no guardrails on what they do. We need

757
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 3: more efficient government. You want to cut waste, I'll help

758
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 3: you do it. But does but change doesn't need to

759
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 3: be chaotic or make us less safe.

760
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean she's one of the ones that she's

761
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 2: voted for a bunch of Trump pets. She voted for

762
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 2: the Lake and Riley act, Like you know, she's that's

763
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 2: who she is. And it also speaks to okay, not

764
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 2: just would it indicate they're getting it from a sort

765
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 2: of like policy perspective if they had Bernie Sanders respond.

766
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 4: But people would actually watch right now.

767
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 2: Bernie is racking up there, it would go viral millions of.

768
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 4: Views on everything he does.

769
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 2: I mean, he is an absolute TikTok sensation, and these

770
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 2: town halls were getting insane views like everything he says

771
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 2: and does is going viral.

772
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 4: So why wouldn't you be like, maybe that guy.

773
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 2: Should be the one or row you know, or row

774
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 2: or listen the whole thing about giving the oversight ranking

775
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 2: Committee member to Jerry Connolly instead of AGOC, Like what

776
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 2: are you thinking? One of these people knows how to

777
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 2: communicate and understands the attention economy and is on it

778
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 2: and understands the online like attention ecosystem.

779
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 4: But the other one earned it, Crystal, and the other

780
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 4: one he's been waiting this.

781
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 7: You know, it's in line follow.

782
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 4: It's just total total insanity.

783
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 3: If the Dems get a tea party, how big was

784
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 3: a tea party blowout in twenty ten?

785
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 4: It was like they've picked up like sixty.

786
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 1: Jenuine.

787
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 4: I want to say something.

788
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 3: If that happened to the Dems, would that happen like

789
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 3: the Jerry Connolly stuff still happened, and would Hakeem like

790
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 3: get to keep his seat?

791
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: Ca Yeah, b.

792
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 3: Who the Democrats if they get a Republican style tea

793
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 3: party blowout when in the House of Representatives and Democrats,

794
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 3: Democrats take control, definitely.

795
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 5: I mean the Keems.

796
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: So you think he'll stay even though they don't like him.

797
00:35:59,600 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

798
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 4: It depends on.

799
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: It's kind of depends on the kind of characters who win,

800
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 2: and it depends on if that dem tea party also

801
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 2: consists of not just winning in Republican seats but primary

802
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: people that they're you.

803
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 4: Know, disgusting.

804
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 2: And I've mentioned this before, but I went back and

805
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 2: looked at the Tea Party era polling for Republican base

806
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 2: voters how they felt about Republican congressional leaders, and it

807
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 2: is very similar to the way that Democratic voters feel

808
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: right now about democratic leadership. Democratic leaders are underwater by

809
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 2: like nine points in the last pole that we saw.

810
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 4: This is so different from twenty sixty.

811
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 2: You guys know poloc shift like they sell, Oh, these

812
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: people are doing the thing we want.

813
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 4: Them to do. These are our heroes, et cetera.

814
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: It is not like that anymore. And so you know,

815
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 2: if you had some of these people who have been

816
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 2: the most disappointing getting primaried, and you have a more

817
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 2: sort of like forceful radical group that comes in that

818
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 2: doesn't owe their seats to the Party of Styles, then

819
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 2: you could end up with some different dynamics. And I

820
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: think the other thing that opens up that possibility is

821
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: that liberals are also completely disenchanted with their media outlets,

822
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 2: and so that creates a really different dynamic as well.

823
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of IFFs here about how this

824
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 4: will all.

825
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 2: Go down, but I will say I think the indications

826
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 2: are very much in the direction of you're probably going

827
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 2: to have a blowout your blue waveyear for Democrats. Just

828
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 2: you know, if you look at history and backlash to

829
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: parties that have complete power, if you look at we're

830
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 2: so early and there's already this level of sentiment and

831
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 2: Republicans who are hiding and worried, and Elon is just

832
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: doing his thing and they're going after Social Security and

833
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 2: the economy is on the brink. I think you could

834
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 2: be setting up quite a catastrophe for.

835
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: The work could be.

836
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 3: I mean, it could phase out because it's he party

837
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 3: peaked in what oh nine, right around nine months in.

838
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 3: That's when the t That's when the Obamacare stuff was

839
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 3: really happened, and then it is special he was right

840
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 3: there at the tail of nine into ten and then

841
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 3: going into the midtermine.

842
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 7: Well, I guess.

843
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 6: I mean I would say maybe, honestly, I would put

844
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 6: it through the Senate the what did Obama call it

845
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 6: the route or whatever he said in twenty four lacking, Yeah,

846
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 6: shellacking in twenty fourteen. I would I would extend it

847
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 6: through that.

848
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, no, absolutely. I was just thinking in terms

849
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 3: of timing. So if the Democratic whatever.

850
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 7: Coffee oh, I say, ok.

851
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 3: The Coffee Party peaks like thirty days in because Trump

852
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 3: administration it could still you know, it could still like

853
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: it could still actually phase out, or you know, who knows.

854
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 5: So much depends on what Trump's policies due to the economy.

855
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, I think you're right, because you know,

856
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 5: he could back off. He could say no, it's just

857
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 5: kidding on these tariffs. Federal workers are allowed back in

858
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 5: with a federal judge, and then he could say we're

859
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 5: going to fire them all in September, and then he

860
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 5: doesn't actually fire them in September because things are struggling

861
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 5: then and you get a little downturn and then it

862
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 5: comes back up. Or you could get this full on

863
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 5: Trump thing where he's like, no, we're really true, we're

864
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 5: doing some major transition. Like in his speech tonight, he's

865
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 5: alluding to real difficulties ahead.

866
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said to the farmers, he said, there'll be

867
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 2: they'll be a little bit of adjustment, but we're okay

868
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 2: with that, which you know Elon also promised like hardship,

869
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 2: temporary hardship.

870
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: He's trying to do.

871
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 5: He's trying to do a thing that politicians have done

872
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 5: many times over the generations, bring people together in times

873
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 5: of hardships that we collectively can then get to a

874
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 5: better place. Except he also wants to do it while dismissing, attacking,

875
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 5: and calling the other half the country a bunch of

876
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 5: traders and losers. So FDR had you know, sixty plus

877
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 5: seats in the Senate and sixty you know, and one

878
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 5: massive mandate, so he could say, all right.

879
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 4: We're all doing this, we're all doing.

880
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 5: This together, we're rowing together, and it's just the bankers

881
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 5: that are against us. Trump's like, we're all in this together,

882
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 5: except like half the country, the universities, the doctors.

883
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 13: Every federal every federal someone's got to that university, all

884
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 13: the teachers, the capitol police, like, but everyone else, Yeah,

885
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 13: we're in it.

886
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 4: We're in it.

887
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 5: So I don't know how you do both of those things,

888
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 5: because he wants to do he wants to ask for

889
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 5: shared sacrifice without sharing any common value.

890
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 2: We're sharing the sacrifice among people like Elon Musk who

891
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 2: are getting you know, just after Lusk wants.

892
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 5: To be joyful about what he's doing to people, rather

893
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 5: than like read people in and say this is why

894
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 5: we're doing I.

895
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 3: Think your point though about if they back off after

896
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,959
Speaker 3: a catastrophic three months or not even catastrophic bad three

897
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 3: months I.

898
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: Mean that's long enough time.

899
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 3: You know, that's almost what several months to go to

900
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 3: the midterms, and so you could at least see some

901
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 3: sort of change. The problem is is that right now

902
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 3: we have no indication that that's.

903
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: Going to happen.

904
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 3: Elon's getting a shout out, the State of the Union,

905
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 3: those is getting you know, lists getting read off. You've

906
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 3: got the Social Security fraud thing, and we're going a

907
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 3: whole hog on the tariff. So it's like, okay, well

908
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 3: that that's all we can really go off right now. Yeah,

909
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 3: tax cut, that's the thing. The tax is a separate category.

910
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 3: That's gonna happen. That's not changing at all. Oh, I

911
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 3: see the other stuff might change at top.

912
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 4: Of that, likely medicaid cuts, you.

913
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 5: Know, and in the same way that social here actually

914
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 5: do flub some Social Security checks, like all people.

915
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: Will lose it. I agree with you. Yeah, and they

916
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: should lose it. That's that's that's great.

917
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 4: They're flirting with that. I mean, you're flirting with that.

918
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 2: They're flirting with another plane crash that really can be laid.

919
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: I left that out.

920
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 3: You're exactly right, which is that if there's a major

921
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 3: natural disaster, if there's a major hurricane after they've been

922
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 3: cutting all these Noah things, and where they can't properly

923
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 3: call a category four or a category five, and some.

924
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: People, even if it's not their fault, doesn't matter.

925
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 2: Where they've gutted FEMA and they can't properly respond to

926
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: which you know, responding to a natural disaster even with

927
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 2: the best of government funding levels is difficult.

928
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 4: You've got a potential shutdown coming up.

929
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 2: I mean, there's just there's just disaster around every corner

930
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 2: and an economy that's already starting to turn south. So

931
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 2: I think, you know, it would take a lot at

932
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 2: this point to recover from the trajectory that they've already

933
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 2: set things on, and you know, to see Elon there.

934
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 4: It's just this is the part that I.

935
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 2: Could not have predicted, is how much of the presidency

936
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 2: he would see to Elon like I just could not

937
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 2: have seen that, nobody would have.

938
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 3: And the thing is is it goes against everything that

939
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,760
Speaker 3: we know about Donald exactly. Why would he ever see

940
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 3: I still don't understand it. Why would you ever seed

941
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 3: so much? Could not control? What does Trump care about?

942
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 3: Attention media? Every probably American at this point who's even

943
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 3: tangentially aware of the Trump News could.

944
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: Tell you about Elon could be a good thing, could

945
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: be a bad thing. Why would you want that? Why

946
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: would you want your presidency defined?

947
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 3: Find this guy with fifteen kids and all this other

948
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 3: baggage and weird shit that he does all the time.

949
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 6: He's really tied his brand literally one of the most

950
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 6: eccentric and polarizing people in the world, right and he

951
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 6: could be having he could actually be having roughs vote

952
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 6: like out there doing doge, you know what I mean.

953
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 3: And it would it would not even be a headline.

954
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 3: It would it would be first of all, we were

955
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 3: done properly. Second of all, it would be done or

956
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 3: verse like legally or you know, in terms of it

957
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 3: would be it would be much more within the line

958
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 3: of like traditional Washington process and they could fight it

959
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 3: out and in the institutions and the norms like and

960
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 3: I mean it seems to be. That seems why Vivek

961
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 3: ultimately left Dose was really over a beef on something

962
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 3: like this his white people tweet acide. But yeah, just

963
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 3: putting it together, I mean, that's just the most shocking

964
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 3: part about all of this is like he's playing the

965
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 3: fire and I think that's the theme that I've I've

966
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 3: really come away from this state of the Union. I

967
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 3: think there was a ton of raid meat. If your maga,

968
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 3: you'll love it. And of course you you're gonna love

969
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 3: You're gonna love anything. The guy says, there's lots of

970
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 3: culture war stuff and all that. But you know, for

971
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 3: for us, like when we look at the dangers of

972
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 3: natural disaster, social security, economic problems, and then just you know,

973
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 3: chaotic nature, people feeling as if they are not in control,

974
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 3: those are all very very dangerous places.

975
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 2: I also, I also think that the amount of gutting

976
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 2: of like white color police that they've done is a risk,

977
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 2: is like gutting the CFPP and gutting the SEC enforcement.

978
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you've just got such like out right crop.

979
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 2: You guys see the story about people paying a million

980
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 2: or five million dollars to.

981
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 3: Have five five million, five million dollars to have a

982
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 3: one on one dinner.

983
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:28,479
Speaker 4: With which Trump, Yeah, like.

984
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: Just he doesn't even need the money.

985
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 7: It's it's for campaign, the coin, it's it's.

986
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: It's to a campaign fund. And why do you need

987
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: five million dollars for your campaign?

988
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 2: I mean, you've got that, You've got the crypto dude

989
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 2: who gave him, you know, seventy five million dollars into

990
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 2: his mean coin, and then oh SEC dropped enforcement. And

991
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 2: so when you put all of these together, it's like

992
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 2: this is just like Elon and his billionaire buddies, like

993
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 2: they're just robbing and plundering the government.

994
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 4: I mean, the picture adds up. It's it does.

995
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 2: Doesn't take a genius political messenger, even this lame ass

996
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 2: Democratic Party can put those pieces together to say like

997
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 2: this administration is about the rich. And but you know,

998
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 2: to go back to the Trump and Elon point, like

999
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 2: even just to see the spotlight of his State of

1000
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 2: the Union address for standing ovation to Elon, I don't

1001
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 2: think any of us could have anticipated that. And it

1002
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 2: really does ask some questions about like, what the hell

1003
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 2: is going on here? Does he care? Is there some

1004
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 2: sort of a deal? What has made it so that

1005
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 2: he is just really ceeded his previous ideological positioning to

1006
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 2: Elon and the most prominent, most public parts of his

1007
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 2: entire government administration to Elon. And you're to your point

1008
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 2: about immigration, like I'm glad he's not making good on

1009
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 2: this particular promises nice the same as job but are

1010
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 2: actually lower than Joe Biden and that was the part

1011
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 2: that you know, in terms of one of the promises

1012
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 2: to work in class people again, and I don't this

1013
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 2: isn't accurate in my view, and I don't think that

1014
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 2: a mass deportation would help. I think that would further

1015
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 2: hurt the economy. But that was like the prep pledge

1016
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 2: to working class people was that this is.

1017
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 4: The thing that's really going to help you.

1018
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 2: And because it's not a priority of Elon, it's the

1019
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 2: part that's actually not really getting done again. I'm glad

1020
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 2: about that, but it is noteworthy to me that the

1021
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 2: part that has been so central to Trump but is

1022
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: not really particularly priority to Elon outside of him currying

1023
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 2: favor with MAGA, that part has kind of fallen, by.

1024
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 3: The way, right on top of the Golden visa thing,

1025
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 3: which is like a Silicon Valley wet dream where they

1026
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 3: get to just buy their citizenship in.

1027
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 4: H one B, which he sided with Elon or.

1028
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he even mentioned that in this he's actually

1029
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 3: trying to fuse Golden Visa with He's trying to.

1030
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: Fuse Golden visa with the H one B program. If

1031
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: you heard there, it's like at any of these.

1032
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 3: Universities, Facebook can pay five million dollars.

1033
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 1: So yeah, Facebook gonna pay five million dollars for a coder. Okay,

1034
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: well the whole point the h one.

1035
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, yeah, that's like that made you think me.

1036
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 3: All right, we've been talking for long enough. You guys

1037
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 3: got any last things he wants to say?

1038
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 6: Actually, all I was going to say is and Democrats

1039
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 6: were sitting there with their stupid paddle signs, and so,

1040
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,760
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't disagree with everything that we've all said.

1041
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 6: I just think the big takeaway, to the extent that

1042
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 6: Americans pay attention to this, I think Donald Trump successfully

1043
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 6: baited Democrats into a complete public relations disaster for themselves.

1044
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 1: Yea, I wouldn't say it's a disaster. I don't know.

1045
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: I think I disagree on that.

1046
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 7: Cool Wallas is already saying that little kid DJ.

1047
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 6: It was like the highlight human Republicans, Democrats all find

1048
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 6: a good human story in every state of the Union.

1049
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 7: This was the one from that. He's already saying.

1050
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 6: Nicole Wallace, she's already out on the MSNBC airway of saying,

1051
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 6: I hope he has a long life as a law

1052
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 6: enforcement officer, but I hope he never has to defend

1053
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 6: the United States Capitol against Donald Trump supporters, and if

1054
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 6: he does, I hope he has one of the sex

1055
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 6: who loses his life to suicide.

1056
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1057
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 3: I just you know, it's like, I don't disagree that

1058
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 3: it's cringed, but I wouldn't call it a relations.

1059
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 2: They're not I mean, their memes are, They're not the

1060
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 2: center of the evening.

1061
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. I don't know.

1062
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 6: I think it was so bad that those I think

1063
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 6: those I think those optics were so bad with them

1064
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 6: with the paddle signs, they're just like perfect meme fodder.

1065
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 7: I think that was so so bad. That idea was

1066
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 7: so bad.

1067
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, Al Green waving the.

1068
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 6: Cane and the paddle signs. I think it was so

1069
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 6: bad that it will a lot of people will see that.

1070
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: I think you could be right. I see a lot

1071
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 1: of right wing like, oh, they didn't even clap for this.

1072
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: Is that's people really like? And also it was one

1073
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,919
Speaker 1: hundred minute speech. It is long. Yeah, I don't think anything.

1074
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 2: Here's one other thing that I that I would point to,

1075
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 2: Emily is I was looking at the some of the

1076
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 2: pulling around this and the approval rating of like Democrats

1077
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 2: and the Democratic Party and Congressional Democrats is in the tank. Yes,

1078
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 2: And yet when you ask people who do you prefer

1079
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 2: on a generic congresstional ballot Democrats, I'm the latest one

1080
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 2: was by five, which is significant. Yeah, which is going

1081
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 2: to I mean, listen, you take them with a gardenissal whatever.

1082
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 4: But you shouldn't look.

1083
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 2: At the fact that their approval, Like when people are

1084
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 2: like do you like these people are like no, but

1085
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 2: you like them better than these other people? They are

1086
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 2: like yeah, kind you know, because and that's that is

1087
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: a natural ebb and flow to politics. But also Republicans

1088
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 2: are truly enacting an agenda, and Trump in particular that

1089
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 2: is polls that is really unpopular. I mean, the Greenland

1090
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 2: stuff is unpopular, Gaza is unpopular. The even the Gulf

1091
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 2: of America thing, which I thought people might eat up,

1092
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 2: even that's unpopular, right, a lot of these pieces, and

1093
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 2: Doge is unpopular, and Elon's unpopular, and cutting social security

1094
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 2: and cutting medicaid and getting taxes were like, all of

1095
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 2: these things are really really unpopular. And so when you

1096
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 2: put that together and it's like, hey, do you want.

1097

1098
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 4: kind of lame.

1099
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, probably not to mention, Democrats have the

1100
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 2: benefit now of the co that previously used to benefit

1101
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 2: Republicans and mintterms, which is their people freaking show up.

1102
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,520

1106
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 2: I think we're probably headed in the direction of a

1107
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 2: major political direction, even if the Democrats trying to.

1108
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,520
