1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh. These are some of our favorite segments

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment

4
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is

5
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: the Weekly Zeitgeist. What if something you think is overrated? Oh? Overrated?

6
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: I would say. You have two on here that I'm

7
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: wondering if they tie together. Oh, now, they definitely don't. Uh, Hooters.

8
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: I feel like it's over it. I mean like it's

9
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: I think the millennials were killing in I think that

10
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: was an article from months ago. But millenials are killing it, bro. Yeah,

11
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: I mean our dads say killing it. We're fucking crushing

12
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, no, they're they're now into uh, but staurants.

13
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: What are they called? Because restaurants restaurants like Twin Peaks

14
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: and Hooters and the other ones. Uh. And tilted kilt

15
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: is Tilted kilt is more popular now because millennials are

16
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: more into butts. Yeah, but I think they're and Scottish culture. Yeah, exactly,

17
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: mostly Scotts. And I think the other thing with the

18
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: two because we discussed sort of the downfall of certain restaurants,

19
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: namely Hooters, is because I think Tilted Kilt actually does

20
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: like from scratch stuff, like they're not just like they

21
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: try and make the food as much as a gastro pub,

22
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: local pressing patriarchy, right, Yeah, I I I was at

23
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: home over the holiday, and I like saw an old

24
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: picture of me, like at my fifteenth birthday out of Hooters,

25
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: because like that's the perfect time to go when you're fifteen,

26
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: Like it's like, oh my god, there's just straight guys.

27
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: You can eat a disgusting burger with I mean and wings.

28
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you think they the wings

29
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: aren't any better like that. That's the whole point is

30
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: like it's bad food. It's terrible food. And like the

31
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: novelty of their being boobs there should have worn off

32
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: post sixteen, Like like I don't I'm surprised anyone over

33
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: eighteen goes to Hooters. Yeah, it's everyone is way over forty.

34
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: That's a very specific demo they got. Yeah. God, have

35
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: you ever seen just like a family or like a

36
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: married couple, just the exhausted looking wife being like sure yeah,

37
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: or I used to see a lot. I used to

38
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: go to watch Laker games at the Hooters in burbank

39
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: Uh in college, and that's when I would see couples

40
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: a lot, and then you would sometimes see just someone's like, Okay,

41
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: well this is your right night pick. Yeah, it's it's

42
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: only at the very beginning of relationships, like early dates,

43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: and it's very ironic. Hooters will be so funny. It's

44
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: fine because we're dating. It's not I can care about

45
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: the boobs or the person writing their names. So nice

46
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: to imagine, Like, how hard it would it be to

47
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: pitch Hooters the restaurant now? Yeah, I mean tild kill

48
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: in these other places came up in the last ten years,

49
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: so I can't be that hard. Yeah, I guess have

50
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: you used the model that if we imagine Hooters didn't

51
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: exist and now it's just coming out, yeah, you'd be like, um,

52
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: like it's easier to say we're doing the butt version

53
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: of Hooters. We're doing the restaurants now. Yeah, just like

54
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: from scratch though, what a what a concepts? Yeah me too,

55
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: more like me too. Great knockers on that one who

56
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: ring the fucking alarm? Yeah yeah. The Ezer Client podcast

57
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: this week is about he's interviewing these people who wrote

58
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: a book about like at first it sounded like one

59
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: of those whack like you know, I'm a college professor

60
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: and these kids are out of hand with their protesting

61
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: and stuff. But they were talking. One of the things

62
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: that sounded true that they were talking about is how

63
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: unhappy social media has made kids who have like grown

64
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: up with it their whole life, Like general ration z

65
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: the mental health statistics for kids born. I think like

66
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: after is just really like off the charts bed because

67
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: of you know, the ship. Like. One of the things

68
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: I talked about that I hadn't really thought about is,

69
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, not getting invited to someone's house or like

70
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: not getting not being invited to a thing was just

71
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: something that I I suspected, but I didn't have to

72
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: like sit there and look at pictures posted the digital

73
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: evidence in front of your face on Monday, right, yeah,

74
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: And Facebook gives you a report about how popular you are,

75
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: and the pictures of it will make it look way

76
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 1: more fun than it actually was. And you get basically

77
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: with likes and should you have an ongoing social score

78
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: like tab that you just kind of look at your

79
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: score and like, man, I don't nobody follows me, I

80
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: don't get likes. The fun is going on, but the

81
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: statistics for suicide and self harm for young people is

82
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: just way way up. Sure, Yeah that sucks. Can't handle

83
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: the like amped up version of of of hormones. Yeah yeah,

84
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: because you could also, like you could lie to yourself

85
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: when there wasn't social media about how good you were doing,

86
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: to like like yeah, I'm fine man, right, Yeah, dismiss

87
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: like the negative thought, and you could live in like

88
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: a fake world where like you still might be able

89
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: to play college football in your third year of community college,

90
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: whereas like, yeah, now on social media, everyone can just

91
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: lay everything out right there for you to compare. There's

92
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: no middle ground either. Either you're like popular and your

93
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: extra inflated like sense of self right, which is like

94
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: completely built on sand, Like you're not that cool. That's

95
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: the thing is, I had to I was overconfident without

96
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: social media right when I when I wasn't getting likes

97
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: on that Hooters supposed to wouldever imagine like you know,

98
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: the opposite where it's like I feel like kind of

99
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: a loser, oh and yeah, like I feel like extra

100
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: compounded right of. And they also pointed to parents being

101
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: more overprotective and not letting kids make mistakes and that

102
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: like kind of shifted right when the crime rate went down,

103
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: Like parents like we just started for whatever reason, being

104
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: like now you can't play outside until you're teenager. I know,

105
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: I used to play in traffic, like when I was

106
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: I would just ride my bike all over town at

107
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: age five. Yeah, simpler times mistakes When you played in

108
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: the street. I thought of the movie the Program, and

109
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,239
Speaker 1: I thought you was laying down the street like waiting

110
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: for the car start right over. Yeah, they got that

111
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: idea from me an eight year old. Yeah, but yeah,

112
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: I mean, let your kids crash their bike, commit arson,

113
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: light arson, right or I see also see parents who

114
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: were like just cleaning their kids constantly, just like you know,

115
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: little kids are supposed to be fucking disgusting. Yeah, they're

116
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: vaccinating themselves yeah and just yeah, introducing all kinds of

117
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: new bacteria though too. Were like I see people like

118
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: who are like like, let me wipe your fucking like

119
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: finger webbings down everything, and you're like, yo, let this

120
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: kid fucking suck in the dirt. I picked my eight

121
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: month old up over the weekend and a piece of

122
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: like a metal screw fell out of his back. He's

123
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: just you know, just like yeah, you know a bunch

124
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: of drywall screw. So I was like, Oh, he's exploring

125
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: the house how to crawl a little bit, and uh,

126
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,239
Speaker 1: he's just putting everything he's I'm kind of looking forward

127
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: to just getting an X ray of him to see

128
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: all the different like foreign bodies that are in the stomach.

129
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: It looks like the cross section of a spaceship or something. Miles.

130
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: The headline on this next story is, Oh, yeah, that

131
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: Mueller thing. Oh man, Yeah, there's been so much news.

132
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: I forgot. You forget that ship's going on in d

133
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: C constantly? Uh yeah, I don't. I forgot about it.

134
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: And then you look at the president's tweets on Monday

135
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, okay, because it's a good you

136
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: we get one idea of what his current panic attack

137
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: are about. So this one was win Miller does his

138
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: final report. Will he be covering all of his conflicts

139
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: of interest in a preamble? Will he be recommending action

140
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: on all of the credit And he just goes on

141
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: and on hundreds of people close. He's just trying to,

142
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, act as if I don't believe what's

143
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: about to hit come out, whatever this report is. And

144
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: because he never asked other people who would tell him

145
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: that there was no collusion. He's using the all effective Look,

146
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: there may have been people who committed crimes my campaign,

147
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: but think about all the people who didn't. Who didn't,

148
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: and he didn't ask them if they didn't. So wow, okay,

149
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: just go after the people that did. That's fair, all

150
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: twelve of my intern right. Yeah, but it does seem

151
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: like I don't know people in the know, and I'm

152
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: going to include the president on that because he is

153
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: the president and the subject of this report. Hunt. There

154
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: seems to be some something bubble, there's a look. Alan Derschwitz,

155
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: who has always been on the President's side when it

156
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: comes to this report, came out and said, I think

157
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: the report is going to be devastating to the president,

158
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: and I know that the president's team is already working

159
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: on a response to the report. He said that on

160
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: the This Week yesterday with George Stephanopolis. So I think

161
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: people are vaguely aware that Mueller has his report about

162
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: to drop, and it's not going to be good for

163
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: the president. It's gonna make the story of Addie don

164
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: even look looks it will make that look to him.

165
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, like, because there are other people around the

166
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: the Muller investigation that are also like just saying all

167
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff, like Jerome Corsi, who was like the

168
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: former d C bureauci for in full Wars and birth

169
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist and John Carry swift boat guy, like he's

170
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: out here like doing on One America News, which is

171
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: like the fucking even Zanier non news thing for right wingers.

172
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: They were like, like, we can exclusively report that Jerome

173
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: Corsi is going to like reject his plea deal with

174
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: Mueller and then sue him and then also drop a

175
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: book about his quote Gestapo style tactics. Uh. Wow, okay,

176
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 1: so that can't be. I mean clearly that man is

177
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: in a tail spin, like the idea that he's going

178
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: to have a book or something that's gonna exonerate him.

179
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what's going on there. Then George Popadopolis

180
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: he had to go to jail Monday, uh, and was

181
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: like asking like in the last minute, he tried to

182
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: like you know, push back and be like yo, I

183
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: I actually shouldn't be going to jail, and the judge

184
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: was like see him Monday, man, you're going, and I

185
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: don't care what you think. The law is but you

186
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: are going so yeah, we'll see. And then also, there's

187
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: gonna be a report that Mueller puts out on Manafort's cooperation.

188
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: It's a status report, so we'll know just how cooperative

189
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, easy to work with Mr Manafort

190
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: has been. Oh that'll be interesting. Yeah, so there could

191
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: be oh, who knows what's gonna happen. Yeah. But one

192
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: thing I also did read is that the uh like,

193
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: as more and more people leave the White House, especially

194
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: for General Counsel for the White House, they're like, oh, man, like,

195
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: the White House is so horribly ill prepared for, like

196
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: the coming subpoenas and all these other things Democrats are

197
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: about to to go ham on in terms of investigating

198
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: and things like that. So this can't be add that

199
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: to the pile of the Mueller report coming out soon.

200
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, you almost. It's gonna be on SoundCloud or

201
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: exactly the Lincoln bio Lincoln bio. It does seem like

202
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: Muller is using sort of the I don't know, like

203
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: the recording artist timing thing where you go silent for

204
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: a while and then people are like, oh, ship, no,

205
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: I can't wait to find out like what Yeah, yeah,

206
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: by the way, just speaking about people, like stories coming

207
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: out from behind the scenes of the White House. The

208
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: story wherein somebody asks Trump how much he thinks the

209
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Earns and he says five

210
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: million dollars was one of my favorite things from over

211
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: the week. Five million. He just assumes everyone's like all

212
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: there around him, And that was probably him thinking of

213
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: like a low number. How did that guy just someone

214
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: on the spot, like, hey, how much the Joint chiefs make?

215
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: Chief of Staff John Kelly has told others about watching

216
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: TV with Trump and asking the President how much the

217
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Ferns, Trump guest

218
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: five million dollars, according to people who were told the

219
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: story by Kelly startling the Chief of Staff. Kelly responded

220
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: that he made less than two hundred thousand dollars. The

221
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: President suggested he get a large raise and noted the

222
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: number of stars on his uniform. Oh a star for

223
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: a million dollars. Look at all those stars this guy

224
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: deserves at least. Yeah, isn't there five? We're not more,

225
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: but yeah, he's just not a This is the so

226
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: someone quizzed him basically like you're like a president. How

227
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: much do you think he makes well? Kelly comes off

228
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: as like an annoying asshole in the story too, because

229
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: you have you ever been like talking to somebody and

230
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: they ask you a question that you think they're like

231
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: genuinely curious about, but they know the answer, so you

232
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: were just like quizzing me right, right, right, man? But

233
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: instead Trump just started talking about all the shiny things

234
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: on the guy's uniform, because that's how his mind works.

235
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: He's like, what's that one? The American flag? Yeah? There

236
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: was like, uh, let's talk about bet oh. Oh, he's

237
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: up to something. Huh yeah, he's he has something going

238
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,479
Speaker 1: in Texas. It looks like uh and yeah, he says uh.

239
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: I know that. Initially he was a little cryptic about

240
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: maybe he'd run for maybe he won't, And it seems

241
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: like he's opening up more and more to the possibility

242
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: of a presidential run. Uh Now, I think I think

243
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: he could be a good candidate. I'd love to see

244
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: what the whole field looks like. But he's getting a

245
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: lot of buzz from like many other people I know,

246
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: Dan and Fight for a Crooked Media wrote like a

247
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: really glowing sort of piece about what is good about

248
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: Betto and why he would be a great candidate. And

249
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: I can't disagree with his points about just sort of

250
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: the enthusiasm that was around that campaign, because my fucking goodness,

251
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: what I mean, like, there are people in other states

252
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: like caping for bett O Rourke who had nothing to

253
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: do with Texas politics. But I think there was some

254
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: some kind of energy he had that was bringing everybody in.

255
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean, not just because his policies were pretty sane

256
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: and things like that, but there was the enthusiasm that

257
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: was very there's something there. There's definitely something there to

258
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: that I was. I was one of those people in

259
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: a way because I had some weeks off and I

260
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: was going to travel to do comedy and stuff. So

261
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: I went to a city where I could do comedy

262
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: but also like canvas for not only a house candidate

263
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: but also a Senate candidate. Right, Okay, So I was

264
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: like going around a little bit before the election of

265
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: like an Orange county and stuff where there was some

266
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: seats that could be flipped blue. But then I also

267
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: was like, oh, there's one in Houston, and there's a

268
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: Senate candidate there that so it's like would be a

269
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: double maximized the potential of door in a way. And

270
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: like when I was in Houston, like right that was

271
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: the week before the election, and like there was better

272
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: science everywhere, like in you know, you know Texas, which

273
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: is you know, tradition, pretty red and then there was

274
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: whole bars that had better science. Like the whole scene

275
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: seemed to be really Yeah. Well not to mention like

276
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: his lack of like taking corporate money and just raising

277
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: baffo dollars small dollar donations, Like yeah, I can see

278
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: what where they can Like I I get the momentum

279
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: that if you were like running a campaign, you're like, oh,

280
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: this thing could run itself. I think the fact that

281
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: like the Democratic Party has such an open field, like

282
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: as opposed to twenty sixteen, where there was like one

283
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: and a half really like ridits at the beginning, like

284
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: because Bernie was going to run but he wasn't really

285
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: like a front runner personally what Hilary was like, there

286
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: seems to be no real front runner for this. There's

287
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: like ten kind of like has some components like momentum,

288
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: but like the ones that have the most are like, uh,

289
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: maybe Bernie and then betto like with the biggest name

290
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: recognition and enthusiasm behind them, and like that's the like

291
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: because the open field of sixteen on the Republican side,

292
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: it was kind of similar to where there was like

293
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of whatever candidates and there was Trump who

294
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: had universal name recognition and enthusiasm from whatever. Like he

295
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: wasn't if you asked most people, they'd be like, no,

296
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: not really, but like he had the most. So even

297
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: with like his you know, duality rather than or plurality,

298
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: I should say, rather than a majority, he like ran

299
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: away with the nomination. So it's gonna probably be someone

300
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: like that who just has the most enthusiasm in twenty

301
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: or just has some stellar debates or whatever. We'll see, right,

302
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: So why do you think he failed to get him elected?

303
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: I mean what happened? I mean, I just got to

304
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: assume that people didn't want to hate see my, my,

305
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: my mustache talent in from California. They wanted their homegrown mustache.

306
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: You're one of those mustache, carpet bag and mustache. It's

307
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: an ironic mustache. Um. Yeah, I I get the point

308
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: that you know, you need you need somebody who's not

309
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: just going to be the look at Trump, he's bad

310
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: type of thing right. Yeah, you need people who are

311
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 1: going to be like I stand for him right, because

312
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: Trump has a lot of enthusiasm behind him on the right. Uh.

313
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: That is assuming that he runs right, which Roger Stone,

314
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: his longtime homie, famously honest. Roger Stone that Trump will

315
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 1: not ron. He claims he has no inside information, but

316
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: he just doesn't understand why he would, since Trump has

317
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: literally no sense of duty or you know, doesn't really

318
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: like the country in any way. It's not a fan basically,

319
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: he said. I Uh, he believes that Trump likes the

320
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: quote adulation part of being president, which I think we're

321
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: all aware of. He doesn't like the fact that half

322
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: the people in the country hate his guts. I'm not

323
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: totally sure about that. He seems to get you know,

324
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: they say extroverts get re energized from being around people,

325
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: and introverts get re energized by being alone. I feel

326
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: like Trump gets energy from just conflict and people disliking him.

327
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: But then he points out he's hypersensitive to criticism. I

328
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: could easily see him saying, well, I made America great.

329
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm heading to the golf course. Good luck, Mike. Uh,

330
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: which would be I mean, I buy that because it

331
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: didn't seem like that he really wanted to be president

332
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: in the election either, Like I think he was fine,

333
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: like just becoming second fiddle, starting a media empire and

334
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: then using that. Yeah, and like it's the same reason,

335
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: like I ran for a president of my high school

336
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 1: mostly so I could talk in front of people through microphone.

337
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: It was for the stage time. Trump loves being and

338
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: it's on a stage, Like he loves performing at all

339
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: those rallies. He's just doing his set, like and he

340
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: just loves the rallies. Just do a re the fucking tour.

341
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: You know, those crowds aren't going anywhere, and like, let

342
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: him just exist in that. But you know, you can

343
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: layer the cable. You can do that without being president

344
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 1: very easy. And like I love this. He'll have like

345
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: a certain following no matter what. Still, I think this

346
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: is underestimating the intensity of his personality, competitive drive, the

347
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: size of the sucking vortex of a black hole at

348
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 1: the center of the soul. Like he can't take the

349
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: idea that people would see him as failing in any way.

350
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: And so even if he can tell himself I made

351
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: America great again, the negative media, I could definitely see

352
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: him being like, yeah, you know, I'm not going to run,

353
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: and then the second he starts getting negative pressed be

354
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: like I tricked, yet I am gonna run. It turns out, oh,

355
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: you know Roger Stone, He's like, you say, John, Oh, well,

356
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: who knows what this man knows? Yeah, it's just him speculating.

357
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: But he has been friends with Trump for forty years,

358
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: so that sick knicks in tattoo. So all right, we're

359
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back, and

360
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: we're back. So let's move on to one of the

361
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: causes of that. The President Donald No, No, the president

362
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: not getting enough credit what I was going to say,

363
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: and the liberal media just not not giving him his

364
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: fair shake because he came out this was a big

365
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: Drudge headline, which I'll be interested to see how the

366
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: conservatives deal with this, But he came out and said

367
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: I blow Ronald Reagan away. Basically, he's complaining that his

368
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: long list of achievements are far greater than Ronald Reagan,

369
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: but you would never know it because of the fake

370
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: news media. And he even argues that conservative pundits and

371
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: conservative republic ends and columnists, all these people, they they

372
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: just won't give him his fair credit because his name

373
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: is Donald Trump, and if you said his name was

374
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: John Smith, he would be known as far greater than

375
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan. But that's a quote. Yeah, that's a quote.

376
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: If you said that conservative president John Smith did that,

377
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: they would say he's the greatest president, far greater than

378
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan. Wow. It's just it's an impressive I don't know,

379
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: like logical contortionism, where he's able to kind of dissociate

380
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: himself with every negative thing that he's ever done. He's like,

381
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: that's just that makes you think my name is bad.

382
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: But it's not like that is crazy. Ronald Reagan worked

383
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: with the CIA to commit his crimes, right, come on

384
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: against them. That is the big difference, I think. Yeah,

385
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: it's yeah. I mean, we'll see how many roads they

386
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: have named after him, because you know, like so many

387
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: fucking things are named to ringing from all the money

388
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: people were making and during his administration. I don't know

389
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: about this. The airport in DC is named after him. Yeah,

390
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: what's going to be named after Trump? Like? Who is

391
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: going to go that far aside from like your cookie

392
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: like big dollar donors or whatever. Who's like I'm gonna

393
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: I'll name this building after him, But like I don't know,

394
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: I think even Trump's existing buildings won't be named after him.

395
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 1: Like there My fantasy right now is that like he

396
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: sees the t being ripped off Trump Tower and that's

397
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: when he dies and he's pushing a shopping cart. You know,

398
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: there's my building, all right. I mean there's are that's

399
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: already happening around the world, like certain areas that happened.

400
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: Those are his buildings. The only licensed the name as

401
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: a branding thing. So like once his brand is so toxic,

402
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: once he's exposed to say worldwide criminal, then yeah, probably

403
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: less less of a thing to deal with all the

404
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: vandalism because people are just like fun this thing and

405
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 1: like yeah, messing the messing the signage up. The only

406
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: Trump Tower will probably be in Moscow, the one that

407
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: doesn't exist yet. Well one day, I know, I mean,

408
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: like that's that's the big deal we keep hearing about,

409
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: that's gonna gonna happen. I'm I'm ready. Well let's talk

410
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: about the gift that keeps on giving, not really contributing

411
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: existential panic. Yeah, yeah, yesterday we were talking about how

412
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty it made sense that Paul

413
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: manaf was probably just telling everything that was going on

414
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: during his plea deal to Mueller, basically because this guy's

415
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: got he makes no sense and he's a career criminal.

416
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: And then the New York Times did in fact report

417
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: that even after taking a plea deal, his lawyer was

418
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: regularly reporting back to the White House on like everything

419
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: Muller was asking about and basically just arming them with

420
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: a game plan for the president's defense. I'm so disappointed,

421
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: Like I thought we could actually trust this guy, you know,

422
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: I mean you have always said that, I mean, what

423
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: else this gotta happened? He was taken off a house arrest.

424
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: After that, I thought, nope, this is the end of it,

425
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, because you know witness tampering. I thought this

426
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: was going to be it. We can really, we can

427
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: believe in him now he's gotten that out of his system.

428
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: But this is so shocking and disappointing. What are you

429
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: gonna do? You know, this is America. But yeah, I

430
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: think it was really interesting also to see how like

431
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani, he's also quoted in this New York Times

432
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: article where he's almost like gloating about it, where he

433
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: was almost like fist pumping, like yeah, we played Robert

434
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: Mueller's dumbas he was he was dealing with whom to

435
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: be spiking the football on this The Drudge Reports headline

436
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: is Mueller cornered question mark and it's just linked through

437
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: to an article being like, yeah, Maniport was reporting back

438
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: to the White House about everything, and it's just like,

439
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: so are you guys, Like you guys admit that there's

440
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: something to hide here and you're just like trying to

441
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: funk with the investigation, Like they seem to have crossed

442
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: the line where they're openly like ha ha, fuck you.

443
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: We made it so you can't find out the thing

444
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: we didn't do. I mean, that's really the only hands

445
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: they have left to play are just like these weird

446
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: like sort of mars yeah, and like intellectually bank morally

447
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: bankrupt ideas about like how this investigation is working and

448
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: where the power is residing at the moment. I have

449
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: no clue, But in that article there was some line

450
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: about like Giuliani speaking about it, like yeah, of course

451
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: he was telling the president like like we wanted to

452
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: know what was going on something to help defense. I'm paraphrasing,

453
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: but you're like what that I can't believe that's legal.

454
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: Well yeah, that's the amazing thing too, because when all

455
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: these like former U S attorneys and people from d

456
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: J were being interviewed on all the shows, they're all

457
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: being like, I mean, so what it like, you know

458
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: this is illegal? They're like, uh, no, unethical, but because

459
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: we lived in the country where people used to give

460
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: a fuck. But I think that's the thing is like

461
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: that lawyer is going to look like a total asshole

462
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: after this, because typically the one thing they were saying is,

463
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, even though a man of fort and Trump

464
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: had this joint defense agreement that once you flip, meaning

465
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,719
Speaker 1: you have switched teams, there is no longer a reason

466
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: to have a joint defense agreement because at that point

467
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: you are on the opposition side, but was still carrying

468
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: on with it and didn't dissolve the agreement or whatever.

469
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: But I mean when you couple that with like all

470
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: this ship that Jerome Corsi is also like up against two,

471
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: you're like, yo, these people know, like they're into fucking

472
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: deep and they they're they're just angling for their pardons

473
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: because Corsi fucking just dumped his plea deal. Like on

474
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: Twitter was like, hey, check out what Robert Mueller is

475
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: trying to do. And that's basically like Robert Mueller outlining

476
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: all of his crimes, namely that he was acting as

477
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: a fucking conduit between Roger Stone and Wiki Leaks, and

478
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: so like you're starting to see what Mueller knows and

479
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: what they're up against and just sort of like, all right,

480
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: funk it, we'll just lie about everything, will Pardoner. Let's

481
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: just see if this thing will. Yeah. But the emails

482
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: that they have between like they're like Roger Stone and

483
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: like Jerome Corsier, like Stones, like I just have to

484
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: read in this thing because it's so vague. In this document,

485
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: the draft agreement of the Plea Deal, it says Roger

486
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: Stone emails Jerome Corsi. This is a quote that Roger

487
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: Stone wrote. Quote. Get to and it's redacted and parenthetical

488
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: says the founder of Organization one at Ecuadorian Embassy in

489
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: London and get the pending Organization one emails they deal

490
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 1: with foundation. So you're like, okay, so get to Wiki

491
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: leaks founder Julian Assans to talk about the Clinton Foundations emails.

492
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: And then Jerome Corsi just sent like some like local

493
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: journalist guy who he works with who's living in the

494
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: UK to go meet with asans and then the timeline

495
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: of looking at like what these emails show and what

496
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: Roger Stone was saying, you're like, oh, you guys, it's

497
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: so it's like now just really in your face now,

498
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: So I have a question. Things move so fast and

499
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: so confusing. But so this Manafort, the story that the

500
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: Guardian printed it yesterday about Manafort meeting with Julian Assange

501
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: at the Yeah, and then at the end of the

502
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: day it was like, well, we might not be able

503
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: to verify that or what saying, Like people have been

504
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: fact checking and trying to reach out, but the Guardian

505
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: stands behind its sourcing and so that that's not something

506
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: that we can count as being true or is You

507
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: guys need more information on that. It was just so

508
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: specific because they described what outfit he was wearing. So

509
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: it just seems like if it's believing a journalistic institution

510
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: that claims that they have it backed up and have

511
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: like exactly what his outfit was when he was doing it,

512
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: versus believing I'm going with the journalistic institution just old

513
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: habits die hard, you know, like I really want to

514
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: believe Manafort. Yeah, and I don't blame you. Also, Trump

515
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: has as we're recording this story is breaking that he

516
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: said in an Oval office interview that a pardon for

517
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: Paul Manaford is on the tape. No God, of course,

518
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: of course, of course it is. But that seemed too

519
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, like blatant a while back, But now

520
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: they got it. Really does seem like I mean, both

521
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: in the reaction of kind of spiking the football and

522
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: Giuliani like fist pumping and the Drudge Report just skipping

523
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: over the idea of a crime being committed and being like, ah,

524
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: they've outmaneuvered Mueller. It just seems like a line has

525
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: been crossed where now it doesn't matter if they committed

526
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: a crime originally. Now it's just about like a game

527
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: of chess, whether whether Muller, who just inherently is bad

528
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: because he's not on their side, whether he can like

529
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,479
Speaker 1: find out what they did. And so if you're in

530
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: that space, then yeah, why wouldn't you pardon Manifort because

531
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: that's going to help you the most? And who are

532
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: you going to get shipped from? Not your base, which

533
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: is all I care about. The base doesn't care. I

534
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: think it's very there's no way you can deny that

535
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: ship happened, right, It's just obvious and they know it. Yeah,

536
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: they know it. They don't care. Yeah, the wheels are

537
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: coming off. So that's why it's just like, well, fuck

538
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: like any sort of sort of moral argument about this, Like, well,

539
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: let's just try and obscure the facts as much as possible. Yeah,

540
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: we got Matthew Whittaker in there too, so yeah, and

541
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: who knows like what he's willing to do or not

542
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: do yet and if like all this stuff, but that

543
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: Paul Manafort and Jerome course you're pulling like because there's

544
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: maybe they have some other greater plan with matt Whittaker

545
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: at d o J that they'll figure out some other

546
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: way to sidestep all this. But yeah, I mean either way,

547
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: al right, guys, let's check in with It's been a while.

548
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: Uh And it's not that not because nothing's been happening,

549
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: but we so we wanted to check in with one

550
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: Leslie Moonvez because it's it's really starting to get to

551
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: like Weinstein levels with this dude. He's just basically sexually

552
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 1: assaulting women NonStop and just being like, I'll cast you

553
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: on a CBS show if that seems to be his consolation. Yeah,

554
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: because we're just now finding out from women who were like, yeah,

555
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: and then I quit because that was the worst thing

556
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: that's ever happened to me. So I quit acting. Uh.

557
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: But it wasn't before like it was. He was trying

558
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: to act like it was like a couple of things

559
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: and he didn't really remember ship and it was consensual.

560
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: And that's what he's saying about this young woman who

561
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: at the time was I think in her early twenties

562
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: in she was up and coming and got a meeting

563
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: with him. She didn't know he was like this big,

564
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: powerful guy and he I mean, the quote is he said,

565
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: be my girlfriend and I'll put you on any show.

566
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: That he grabbed her by the neck, pushed her to

567
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: her knees, and forced his penis into her mouth. Uh.

568
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,959
Speaker 1: And then the other awesome quote from him is because

569
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 1: he's worried about his million dollar payout from CBS, like

570
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: they fired him, but he has it as contract that

571
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: he gets a twenty million dollars and he said, I

572
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: think I'll be okay, but if Bobby talks, I'm done.

573
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: And Bobby is the woman who he's talking about there,

574
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: So wait when did he who did he say that

575
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: too to Bobby's manager who he was trying to like

576
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: work with. It's actually like the low right, it exposes

577
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: this whole sort of weird like system where managers and

578
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: agents work with the predators. Yeah, work with a predators.

579
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: They all get a check to right, and so Moonvez

580
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: knew if you're an agent or whatever, and yeah, so

581
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: for you, it made it behooves. The manager was a

582
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: mouth shot check. So no, so this manager was like,

583
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, he knew that something went on, so and

584
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: he knew that Moonvez knew that. So even though this

585
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: actress was not like trying to get any roles and

586
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: wasn't getting anything, moonve Us was basically paying this guy

587
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: off by giving his other clients work. And he like

588
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: specifically at one point in the article says, come on, man,

589
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: we gotta make you some money. Like so he's just

590
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: yea also so, but is his exit package of one million?

591
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,239
Speaker 1: Is that still up in the air, like CBS has

592
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: to Well at the time, they're like, we're going to

593
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: do our own investigation quote unquote or whatever. You know,

594
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: don't pay this man a fucking scent, right, Like who

595
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: is going to possibly blame you for not paying him anything.

596
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: And also do they name this manager or whatever who's

597
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: been out here. He named himself. He apparently like he's

598
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: old and seems like he's sort of all their type guy,

599
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: like an elderly dude. He mainly represents like daytime TV

600
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: actors and actresses. And but the story is weird because

601
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: it has all these details about this dude like went

602
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: to the Spam Museum when he was on vacation and

603
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: bought a T shirt like less Moon vest and his

604
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: kid and like brought it back to them like, hey,

605
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: here I got you something, just like he was like

606
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 1: trying to get in Less Moon Vessels Orbit for so

607
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: long gift exactly. But yeah, it's just an all all

608
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: around creepy, problematic relationship that once again just proves why

609
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: Hollywood is the grossest town in the world. And just

610
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: talking about what you were saying with the CBS internal investigation.

611
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: So Tom Brokaw apparently has some ship in his closet.

612
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 1: There is an NBC journalist who claims that he sexually

613
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: harassed her, and she is coming out and basically asking Comcast,

614
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: the parent company of NBC, to conduct an investigation with

615
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: their own outside council rather than like leaving it up

616
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: to NBC to investigate itself, because why would they do that? Right,

617
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: It's like the most she just in her statements is

618
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: making tons of sense. Right, everyone should be for sav

619
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: external investigation because if it's your company, how are you

620
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: incentivized to find like terrific acts of terror? You know,

621
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: especially when you have stuff like in cbs is case,

622
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 1: they're like, well, look if we can find a way,

623
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: like you know, they they're looking at a hundred twenty

624
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: million dollar package. How do they balance that? Do they

625
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: pay him? Do they not? You think in the CBS case,

626
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: it would behoove them to be like, well, we're not

627
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: gonna pay you because we don't want to pay that

628
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: money out or but even then just to have it's

629
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: like anything we've seen over the last all the time

630
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: that yeah, these companies that are doing the or have

631
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: employees that are doing bullshit, they just do their own

632
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: investigations sort of obscure things to you know, and they're like, wow,

633
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything. This guy will keep working. Yeah,

634
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: all right, Well have a good weekend. I don't get also,

635
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: like do they have to pay Like why would you

636
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: have to pay a fucking horrible predator a hundred and

637
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: twenty million and dollars. Why do you have to pay

638
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: a criminal because he has very good lawyers, I'm sure. Yeah,

639
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: And they just they write these contracts that are just

640
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: sort of like even in the event of criminal behavior,

641
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: it's like there's this agreement before any of this ship

642
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: comes out. He's like gott negotiations, and he's probably negotiating

643
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: about stuff like if I get fired for cause and

644
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 1: I won't trust me, but let's just say a thing

645
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: or two comes out, then let's just have it in

646
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 1: there that I still get that one twenty large. Yeah,

647
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: and he's like, and also, I did kill two people,

648
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: but with my dick, I apologize. He also did this

649
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: a very similar thing to a medical student at u

650
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: c l A who was like doing a physical exam

651
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: on him. He like sexually assaulted her. Well, he was

652
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: supposed to be just getting a regular physical exam, and

653
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: she eventually came out. She was one of the first whistleblowers.

654
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: Oh right, and like U c l A was trying

655
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: to be like yeah, U c l A. Basically just

656
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: they were like, he's very powerful in this town. So

657
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: shout out to my own harder. Yeah, my wife to

658
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 1: the literal medical school. Come on, guys, do better. We're

659
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back, and

660
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: we're back. Milania is back with her triumphant return to

661
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 1: holiday decorating. Yo, it is health It is literally a healthscape. Okay,

662
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: here I'll just go through. So. Yes, this year's theme,

663
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: this tree is made of blood. The theme was American Treasures,

664
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: and the statement is the White House is. Decorations include

665
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: a tree trimmed by gold Star families. Okay, that makes sense,

666
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: an array of topiary trees and mantel pieces featuring the

667
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: skylds of New York City, say Lewis, Chicago, and San Francisco.

668
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: And here's some like concept designs. Then she's literally walking

669
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: around blood piles of just like congealed entrails of the

670
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: downtrodden people. Uh. Then a really nice like wreath made

671
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: out of b best pencils, which very you know, I

672
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: guess shout out to yourself, very crafty. There's yeah, like

673
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 1: the video that I think was released from her Twitter

674
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: account that we took all these clips from. It's just

675
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: like her, just like being in awe of her own

676
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: you know, design prowess and then I really did it.

677
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: What do you guys think of this tree topper? Tree

678
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: topper is very not satastic. Is a golden eagle with

679
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: its wing spread, which yeah, looks like it belongs in

680
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: a at the top of a flagpole in a classroom. Yeah,

681
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: at the right stock. But the yeah, I mean you know, sure, sure, Monia,

682
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: that's cool for you. That's how you design your house

683
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: as your house. Uh. I don't look forward to being

684
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: invited ever. But so the trees made entirely out of

685
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: cranberries like branches. Oh it is cranberry, I believe. So

686
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: basically the progression where they show us the cranberry branches

687
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: and then is that a cranberry? I don't know what.

688
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: Aren't they grown in a bog? Yeah, that's true. It's

689
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: like giant elves were buried there like their hats, right,

690
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 1: or it wasn't it in War the World's like where

691
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: the like the machines just like picked people up and

692
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: then just shout out like weird goo. Well it wasn't

693
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: it was it turned them into ash. It was a

694
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: very clear reference to nine eleven. Actually, I think so,

695
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: because like he's like running around and there's like ash

696
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: all over him from like disintegrated people, right right right,

697
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: you remember what movie am I thinking of? Were like

698
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: they were they were leaving behind like red webbing on

699
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: like the whatever. That's not important because this is this

700
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: really looks like don't it looks like decoration. It looks

701
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 1: like a more dramatic if you like did a freeze

702
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: frame on the moment after the blood elevators open and

703
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: the shining and then like because it looks like it's

704
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: just red cascading down. It really looks. And then there

705
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: is on one of the on one of the trees,

706
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: there is not not the blood trees, the regular Christmas trees.

707
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: There's just a an ornament the the official White House tree.

708
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: There's an ornament that just says Puerto Rico. Did you

709
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: see that picture out of here that when the tree

710
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: was bright in Trump slapped like the horse's ass that

711
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: was like bringing the tree in. There's like a horse,

712
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: some horse drawn carrom it was. There's just a photo

713
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: him just like like as if you were at like

714
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: some stockyard assessing. That's just like muscle memory for him

715
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: not slap something on that I can't resist. Yeah, but

716
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: this is all just a waking nightmare? Do you have

717
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: do you all have like Christmas ornaments you put up

718
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: every year? Do you just still do this? Yeah? Okay,

719
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: what about you? Yeah? Do you have a pickle that

720
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: you put on your tree? Yeah? What is what? We

721
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: just got that like for a few years ago. And

722
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: I forget what tradition it's from, but I have a pickle.

723
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: Her majesty has a pickle. That's why we have one.

724
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 1: And it just says she has a pickle on her tree. Yeah,

725
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: somebody gave it to us. I mean, we just started

726
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: doing Christmas trees because we're but we're even growing up,

727
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: we did not have a pickle. But now my new

728
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: tree has a pickle. Wow. I think that just like

729
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: broke wide like that tradition. Explain it to us? Is

730
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 1: that garing because we're too lazy to google? Like pickle?

731
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: You know, like a pickle ornament? Mouldy's the same one.

732
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: It's hard as a rock. Yeah. Really, speaking of you know,

733
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: holiday culture, people are rewatching the Rootolph the Red Nose

734
00:41:54,560 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: Reindeer film, the old claymation classic, and they're finally coming

735
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: around to effect that I learned back in two thousand

736
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: and ten when one of the Cracked writers revisited it

737
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: that this movie is wildly fucked up. It's crazy. It's

738
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: amazing how mean Santa is to everybody. I was gonna say,

739
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: how dare Rudolph think he's better than everybody? I know? No,

740
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: it's actually not that Rudolph. It's just NonStop bullying that

741
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: goes completely unacknowledged, like not you know. There's the bullying

742
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: from the Reindeers who are like, no, Rudolph, fuck you,

743
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: your nose is red. But Santa bullies everybody around him,

744
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: like the Elves. At one point, Santa is like stressed

745
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: out because Christmas is coming up, and for some reason

746
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: they've made the decision that Santa doesn't deal well with

747
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 1: stress in this show, and so the Elves try and

748
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: sing him a Christmas song to get him in the mood,

749
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: and much like Katie, he's no fan of Christmas music.

750
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: And they're like, hey, did did you like it? Mr? Santa?

751
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: And he goes, it needs work now I've got to go,

752
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: and like storms out. And then later he's eating dinner

753
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: with his wife and she's like, you're not eating your

754
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 1: food and he's like, I can't eat because of how

755
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: bad that stupid elf song was like, he sounds like

756
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: a fucking human monster. And it's also like a good

757
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: illustration of how like a toxic person like that can

758
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: spread to everyone else. Because when Rudolf is born, Santa

759
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: looks at him and is like, oh my god, I

760
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: hope that nose goes away. And then his dad is

761
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: there and bullies him for the rest of Rudolph's life

762
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: and is like, hide your nose, Rudof's dad. Rudolf's dad

763
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: makes him wear a black thing over his nose. Dad

764
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: isn't a magical raindeer that can fly one of the others.

765
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 1: I don't know. Rud's dad wasn't working with all those

766
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: unsaved chemicals, and maybe his child would have a birth

767
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: defects and and maybe still at the working conditions in

768
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 1: your workshop. Also, Santa in this his claimation for him

769
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 1: looks like a character from dug Dynasty or something, just

770
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: like with his beard and like he has angry ash eyebrows.

771
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: Doesn't look like someone I don't want to work for.

772
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: Side note to Santa pay his elves is a white

773
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 1: slave owner a fl c I over here. His facial

774
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: hair is definitely very like Habsburg Empire just he looks

775
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: like a hungarian Kaiser friend. But at one point, Santa

776
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: tells Rudolph's father, you should be ashamed of yourself for

777
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: having a son who has a red nose. And when

778
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: Rudolph eventually redeems himself by just being useful to Santa

779
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 1: for one night, like nobody nobody starts valuing him. They're

780
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: just like, god, can you tone it down? Rudolph with

781
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: that nose like that? Actually that's a line. But even

782
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: when he proves himself, people are still like, actually, I

783
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: think we have the clip of the night when Santa

784
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: realizes that he can use Rudolph and he still treats

785
00:44:54,960 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: him like ship, I've got some bad news, folks. Christmas

786
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: is going to be canceled. There's nothing I can do

787
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: this weather, Rudolph, Rudolf, please could you tone it down

788
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: a bit? I mean that knows of yours. I mean

789
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 1: that was pretty obnoxious, whistling babe dear, and he hasn't

790
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: learned how to control his powers, right yeah. But then

791
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: nobody is like, you're all right in my book, Rudolf.

792
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: They're just like, still, fuck you, man, but thanks for

793
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: lighting the way. I take a little bit of issue

794
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: with the idea that Santa's the only reason Christmas exists.

795
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: This message that's being shoved that it's just only about

796
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: presents and it's about presidents. Guys, we're losing we're losing

797
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 1: sight and we all know that Jesus is the reason

798
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: for the season, right Remember Ristmas is canceled. I demand

799
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: you all refused to go to church and celebrate the

800
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: birth of Jesus. Talk to your family, do not enjoy

801
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: a hearty breakfast, Take out your trees. Then there's the

802
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: Island of Misfit Toys, where defective sentient toys go to

803
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: die of exposure. Apparently they just all like live on

804
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: this frigid island. There's like a train with square wheels,

805
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: a doll with depression. It seems like that's like what

806
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: she just like, doesn't have anything wrong with her depressed uh,

807
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: and then a toy bird that can't fly but can swim.

808
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: And they're never a mention. So in the original version,

809
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: like Rudolph goes there and it's like this horrifying, like,

810
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,399
Speaker 1: oh no, these people that now we see what real

811
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: freaks look like. And then he goes back and saves

812
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: the day and they never mentioned again. But because children

813
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: presumably were existentially horrified by the prospect that there's just

814
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: abandoned toys out there that are going to die of

815
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 1: old age. They decided to like tack on a thing

816
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: where Santa and the elves return and give the toys homes.

817
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: But at one point at the end, they throw the

818
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: flightless bird off the sleigh, like as it's flying through

819
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: the sky, and that's how like they just don't mention again. Yeah,

820
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: they just kill it, like you're tiny and small, but

821
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: no room. I can't good luck falling from this height.

822
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: I think it's supposed to be like a bit where

823
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: it's like he thinks it's a bird, so he probably

824
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: thinks it can fly like that. It's not like they

825
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: did it unacknowledged, but it's it's the only way you'll

826
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 1: learn how to fly. Yeah. But anyways, there's all these

827
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: tweets that I've been noticing, and I think Yahoo wrote

828
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: an article about like just all the people who are like, wow,

829
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 1: Santa's a fucking dick man. Yeah, exactly, mean, Santa, very

830
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,959
Speaker 1: weird that we invite this old man into our homes

831
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: every year. I was trying to Santa to my son

832
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: and like keep it upbeat, but I can tell like

833
00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: there's like a flicker of terror in his eyes as

834
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: I was just then he comes to our house, but

835
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:07,720
Speaker 1: you'll be asleep. Alright, Alright, that's gonna do it for

836
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 1: this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please like and review the show.
