Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Speaker 1: Election trend Recap Aka.
Speaker 2: Have you trend it? Miles? Have you trended?
Speaker 3: It? Was it grapeesite, grape site with.
Speaker 2: Grape Have you trended?
Speaker 4: Courtesy of you by.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow's guest turned us on to a fun flip that.
Speaker 3: I enjoy that I will annoy the ship out of
Speaker 3: my family with.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: All right, well that is Miles. I'm Jack and here's
Speaker 1: a couple of things that's trending. It is the election
Speaker 1: recap episode where we get to just give you a snapshot,
Speaker 1: an overview of what happened in these United States. All right,
Speaker 1: I've been I've been stolen. I don't know what happened, man,
Speaker 1: I didn't I haven't looked at the news that damn
Speaker 1: sprite video.
Speaker 3: All I'm saying is the GOP should change their name
Speaker 3: to Vanessa because it was a red grave. Okay, you
Speaker 3: feel me? Oh and that's a little bit of freestyling
Speaker 3: for me. But yeah, the Republicans continue to do the
Speaker 3: thing that everyone from the outside is like, that's not
Speaker 3: gonna win you anything. Yeah, but they can't stop.
Speaker 2: They just can't stop.
Speaker 3: They're so horny to roll back rights and think that
Speaker 3: that is a like a majority, like that is a
Speaker 3: popular opinion or that's a popular policy every election, no
Speaker 3: matter where it is, no matter how red the state is,
Speaker 3: people are like, no, man like body, autronomy, reproductive rights,
Speaker 3: that's actually essential? What the fuck you guys talking?
Speaker 1: Basically a complete continuation of the trends we saw on
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two mid term with people rejecting Republicans
Speaker 1: anywhere the reproductive rights were at stake or like mentioned
Speaker 1: in the campaigns.
Speaker 3: Were running on that shit too, be like yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm all about pro life, Like okay, well you can
Speaker 3: pro see yourself out of this place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but so it's just wild to see. So that
Speaker 1: was fairly predictable by us from the outside. By them
Speaker 1: on the inside, they seem to once again be taken
Speaker 1: completely blindsided by this and having a tough time like
Speaker 1: reading the tea leaves on this one miles.
Speaker 4: They're like wait what so wait what because like okay,
Speaker 4: because what else to do?
Speaker 3: So it wasn't just like the like referendum like in
Speaker 3: Ohio that was enshrining abortion access, like it was also
Speaker 3: you know, like in Virginia, they the Democrats took control
Speaker 3: of the state. How they like. They they have the
Speaker 3: other chambers except for the governor's mansion at this point.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: And we just been in Kentucky. Andy Basheer won re
Speaker 3: election there in a very you know, red Kentucky, which
Speaker 3: brought the people at Newsmax as they were like doing
Speaker 3: the results as they came in to they do some
Speaker 3: soul searching. And I think it's really interesting to hear
Speaker 3: how they're processing the fact that the platform has been.
Speaker 4: A loser for the last couple of years.
Speaker 3: Now this is news Max just processing.
Speaker 5: It all as far as you know it. It does
Speaker 5: seem like the Republican Party generally has a real problem.
Speaker 2: With uh, with winning uh.
Speaker 5: You know, certainly has in the midterms here and now
Speaker 5: in this one as well. And you wonder, do we
Speaker 5: have the right people in place to be putting the
Speaker 5: messaging together to the oh they're supposed to be there
Speaker 5: to get the early vote out, to do these jobs.
Speaker 5: You wonder about the RN the right people running the show,
Speaker 5: because we we we're not doing something right. I think
Speaker 5: that's very obvious.
Speaker 1: It's like, is it do we have the wrong staffers?
Speaker 1: Election staffers?
Speaker 3: Mom? You know how I started that company of snacks
Speaker 3: that are made of horse shit, nobody's buying them and.
Speaker 2: Have the right staff in place.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, Like, is maybe my marketing bad?
Speaker 3: Like do they know that they're eating horse shit? Maybe
Speaker 3: I need to make that more explicit or less explicit?
Speaker 1: Should they be investing more in TikTok mile? Maybe is
Speaker 1: the question that I that I screaming at all of us.
Speaker 3: Those algorithms, man, Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's that they
Speaker 3: continue to scratch their heads over this, Like, yeah, you'll
Speaker 3: hear more about it tomorrow's episode two. There were numerous
Speaker 3: quotes where they were doing anything but looking at their
Speaker 3: own platform and assessing that that is the fundamental issue here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it even like cut against so like Glenn Youngkin
Speaker 1: is the person like who is probably the hottest name
Speaker 1: in GOP politics outside of Donald Trump. He was being
Speaker 1: mentioned as maybe like somebody might enter the presidential race
Speaker 1: and challenge Trump because he's so popular in Virginia. And
Speaker 1: so people were like, all right, so we'll see how
Speaker 1: these local Virginia like state house elections go, whether he's
Speaker 1: able to marshal enough like enthusiasm and you know, translate
Speaker 1: his popularity into a broad sweeping like Republican win in
Speaker 1: the state House because they were hoping to, you know,
Speaker 1: start attacking people's reproductive right, so right, something that was
Speaker 1: important to the GOP nationally, and the Democrats took full
Speaker 1: control of the Virginia State House. So just straight up
Speaker 1: going against trends, going against popularity of like popular politicians,
Speaker 1: which seems to work at the local level that we
Speaker 1: do have evidence of that whether it would work, like,
Speaker 1: I'm still not willing to be like Biden's got this
Speaker 1: one in the bag, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean a lot of people said, well, if people
Speaker 3: are abandoned the Democratic Party, we definitely didn't see that tonight, yes,
Speaker 3: And it's.
Speaker 1: Like, I don't think that's what even the polling, So
Speaker 1: the really bad poll that everyone is referencing where Biden
Speaker 1: like lost a shitload of support is now getting beaten,
Speaker 1: like getting beaten so bad by Trump in the polling
Speaker 1: that were these polls to actually be like the first
Speaker 1: polls that were actually right ever, but like you know,
Speaker 1: if they were when the polls closed, they'd be like
Speaker 1: and we can call it for Donald Trump, like that's
Speaker 1: how much he's winning by He's like smoking him according
Speaker 1: to these polls. Like even those polls didn't say, like
Speaker 1: and everybody just like really liked Trump. Now they people
Speaker 1: don't like Biden like they have they're abandoning Biden. And
Speaker 1: like they asked in those polls, uh, whether you would
Speaker 1: vote for an unnamed Democratic candidate or Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: So like, in a hypothetic world where.
Speaker 1: Biden drops out and a different Democratic candidate steps in,
Speaker 1: who do you vote for? And that shifted the race
Speaker 1: by twelve points towards the Democrats. So like, generic democrat
Speaker 1: is twelve points more popular than Joe Biden, a.
Speaker 3: Literal straw man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, granted, I think in this case like that, people
Speaker 1: are probably picturing their ideal generic Democratic idiot, right for sure.
Speaker 3: Not just like dude, I'll literally take a fucking package
Speaker 3: of turkey slice turn eat.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, not quite.
Speaker 3: But I again, I think this is something that is
Speaker 3: gonna this is going to play out over the next year. Uh,
Speaker 3: and we'll see what happens. I think the one thing though,
Speaker 3: that Democrats are absolutely like loving, is that their continued
Speaker 3: strategy of merely gesturing at Republicans is working.
Speaker 1: It is because the Republicans are so republicshed so fucking
Speaker 1: bad that. Yeah, it's unfortunately that that is the situation
Speaker 1: that voters in the United States are in, because.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, the Democrats in the House are, you know, joining Republicans.
Speaker 3: Twenty two of them joined Republicans to censure Rashida Taliit.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's I mean, and that made the whole Like
Speaker 1: they did that on election and so like the whole
Speaker 1: Oh a win for the Democratic Party was pretty fucking
Speaker 1: bittersweet because yeah, like she's the one person who seems
Speaker 1: like she's speaking the truth about what's fucking happening in
Speaker 1: Gaza and she's being censured, and yeah, like you know,
Speaker 1: she clarified that like what her understanding and the phrase
Speaker 1: from the rivers to the sea are, which is what
Speaker 1: the center was over and she was like, no, this
Speaker 1: for me means that I want freedom for people.
Speaker 3: That people have been moving the goalposts on from the
Speaker 3: river to the sea constantly.
Speaker 1: No, this is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights,
Speaker 1: and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction or hate. And she repeatedly,
Speaker 1: like her speech after like in response to the censure,
Speaker 1: like just continues.
Speaker 4: To focus on can we all agree that.
Speaker 1: Like we shouldn't be killing innocent children, whether they be
Speaker 1: Israeli or Palestinian. Like, that's been very consistent. That's been
Speaker 1: her response consistently. I think that's been our response consistently
Speaker 1: on this show. And it seems like the answer is no,
Speaker 1: we can't, we can't agree on that. Shut the flock up,
Speaker 1: like seems to be their response.
Speaker 3: Well, especially when you have actual people on the on
Speaker 3: that Republican side of things, like like on the house
Speaker 3: floor saying things like, oh, yeah, the gaza's going to
Speaker 3: be turned into a quote a parking lot or that.
Speaker 3: You know, Lindsay Graham, we heard him, he said there's
Speaker 3: no amount of children, dead children that should deter or
Speaker 3: dead civilians that should deter Israel Or are other person
Speaker 3: being like comparing Palestinian civilians to Nazis. Yes, And the
Speaker 3: pure genocidal language that is being used by these people
Speaker 3: and the dehumanizing language are using, and they want to
Speaker 3: go for the one Palestinian American who is speaking truth
Speaker 3: to power. It's like the white supremacy of it all
Speaker 3: too is wild. You know, it's so wild because this
Speaker 3: is such a multifaceted moment right now. It's not as
Speaker 3: simple as like there's so many dimensions to this that
Speaker 3: are just blowing my mind every day. And meanwhile, you
Speaker 3: have children in Gaza doing a press conference in front
Speaker 3: of a children's hospital pleading with the world to be like,
Speaker 3: we would like to not be just indiscriminately killed.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh, and that's like these are the stakes right now.
Speaker 3: And to censure, it's like what a group of utterly despicable, disgraceful,
Speaker 3: unseerious people.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: Also, it was interesting to me that the motion to
Speaker 1: center Rashida Talib in the first place was originally raised
Speaker 1: by Marjorie Taylor Green, and they were like, actually, it
Speaker 1: might be better if it wasn't you, since you blamed
Speaker 1: Jewish space lasers for forest fires a couple of years back.
Speaker 3: So like, I see, and we're.
Speaker 1: Going to accuse someone who's actually not being anti Semitica
Speaker 1: of anti semitism. It would be weird if that official
Speaker 1: motion was coming from an actual anti semi It's just.
Speaker 3: Like too much, no, it cancels out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah maybe, oh is that what it is?
Speaker 2: Marjorie crossed that out and yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's just interesting that they were like, not this one,
Speaker 1: We'll go with this other person doing it. You can
Speaker 1: go for it, but we can't have your name on
Speaker 1: it because uh, well you are like literally an anti semit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're still hearing the mealy mouthed flea from
Speaker 3: Democrats to be like, what about a humanitarian pause? Yeah,
Speaker 3: y'all are some It's just so it's just so disgusting
Speaker 3: because I try to not be online so much because
Speaker 3: whenever there's a lot of upheaval in the world, you're
Speaker 3: gonna see some things that are disturbing, that are distressing.
Speaker 3: And to consistently see how like terror is being rained upon,
Speaker 3: like the experience of the people of Palestine right now,
Speaker 3: is so fucked up. And to think that you have
Speaker 3: people who could look at that and still be like, yeah, man,
Speaker 3: they just need to pause that shit. Or I'm so
Speaker 3: in I live in such perpetual fear of lobbyists that
Speaker 3: I can't even say what I actually want to say.
Speaker 3: That is such a failure of character. And again, I
Speaker 3: don't know, I'm not acting surprised because like ninety nine
Speaker 3: point nine percent of the people who are pursuing office
Speaker 3: are not there for the right reasons. It's only the
Speaker 3: few who are actually there because they want to change,
Speaker 3: like the material outcomes for the people they represent. But
Speaker 3: it's just really grim to watch video after video, report
Speaker 3: after report of just unchecked killing of innocent people. And
Speaker 3: you're the people who are supposedly leading this country or
Speaker 3: just have their arms crossed and acting yet nothing's going on.
Speaker 3: It's despicable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're censuring the person who's asking for it's stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, don't don't be out here humanizing them.
Speaker 2: That's when they uncrossed their arms.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. That the line was humanizing Palestinians. That was
Speaker 3: the line, because anytime somebody dehumanizes them, it's it's all good.
Speaker 3: It's all good.
Speaker 2: Doesn't get anything.
Speaker 1: Anytime someone dehumanizes Jewish people and says that they have
Speaker 1: space lasers, that doesn't get a century either.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 3: No, you're actually elected.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're good. We're good.
Speaker 1: Here, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back. And these stories. I always liked these stories.
Speaker 1: We got one when Bill Murray starred in the Garfield
Speaker 1: movie and it was revealed that he suffered under the
Speaker 1: same mistake that I did when I saw first other
Speaker 1: trailer for the Garfield movie.
Speaker 2: And they were like.
Speaker 1: From Ethan Cohen and I was like, one of the
Speaker 1: Coen brothers broke off from their filmmaking duo to make
Speaker 1: the fucking Garfield movie. And you know, smartly they did
Speaker 1: not put in the trailer. No, not that Ethan Cone
Speaker 1: but he so after the fact, Bill Murray was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought it was a fucking Coen brother man. I
Speaker 1: thought like one of the Coen brothers was making a
Speaker 1: Garfield movie. And I was like, well, that doesn't make sense,
Speaker 1: but I gotta see what he as in mind. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm on board. And then like shows up on set.
Speaker 2: And is like, wait a fucking second.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just I'm hey, Bill, That's why sometimes I
Speaker 3: get the whole thing, like you represent yourself and you
Speaker 3: have like a voicemail or whatever that people can get
Speaker 3: to at. But like that's that's where you fell on
Speaker 3: your own sword there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it doesn't bother me, you know, I.
Speaker 3: Just of course you're gonna fuck up and be like,
Speaker 3: oh really all right this movie then?
Speaker 1: So anyways, In a recent appearance on the Tonight Show
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Fallon, Brian Cox revealed that he signed up
Speaker 1: to appear on a Double O seven Road to a million,
Speaker 1: which is like the secret Agent flavored takeoff of the
Speaker 1: Amazing Race. It's just a Double oh seven sponsored reality show.
Speaker 1: He signed up for that because he thought it was
Speaker 1: an actual Bond movie.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Well, well you see it was called
Speaker 3: Double oh seven Road to a Million. I thought it
Speaker 3: was the new James Bond film. So I said, oh,
Speaker 3: finally they're getting me in a James Bond movie. So
Speaker 3: I thought, yes, of course.
Speaker 2: Hell man, the title.
Speaker 3: Sounds like a fucking sweeps like a McDonald's promotion.
Speaker 4: It sounds like a scratch Bond.
Speaker 3: Road to a Million.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay a million.
Speaker 1: Warns out it was a scratch ticket that I had
Speaker 1: signed on to be a part of.
Speaker 3: I'm playing his daddy. Oh fuck off James Bond.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: How many times a day do you think he fires
Speaker 1: his agent, like, Brian gotta be just yeah, Brian like
Speaker 1: is probably just hiring his agent. And then you know
Speaker 1: its like ah yeah he always says.
Speaker 3: That, or is it one of those things where like
Speaker 3: he's so volatile, where like the agent's like, well, Brian,
Speaker 3: here's the thing about it. Just shuck the fuck up, okay,
Speaker 3: fuck off and get me that role. And you're like yeah,
Speaker 3: but this double it's not exactly double, you know. And
Speaker 3: then they come back and he's like, what the fuck
Speaker 3: is this?
Speaker 4: Like I tried to tell you, Bryan BC, I tried
Speaker 4: to tell you my man, my guy Cox, but Cox.
Speaker 1: There's a new Ghostbusters movie trailer where it's like the
Speaker 1: bad guy is winter Weather.
Speaker 3: Basically, dude, that trailer kind of fucked up. It's kind
Speaker 3: of cool. It's a could have been whatever. I'm so yeah,
Speaker 3: and the thing like it's like Coney Island. It suddenly
Speaker 3: like like freezes over and like ice sickles are shooting
Speaker 3: up from the ground like fucking knives. I was surprised
Speaker 3: nobody like got like got by one of those.
Speaker 2: Oh they did.
Speaker 1: But they do specifically say like for the first time,
Speaker 1: people are like freezing to death.
Speaker 3: In right in July, in July in New York City.
Speaker 1: In New York City, so it's like hot Tom someone
Speaker 1: in the city. And then it's like, whoa Frozen powers
Speaker 1: They saw the movie Frozen, and we're like, whoa, what
Speaker 1: if that happened in Ghostbusters?
Speaker 4: And that's that's Frozen. Yeah, there's a part where, oh
Speaker 4: have you not seen Frozen? Miles do they smash in
Speaker 4: Frozen do they smash? Do people smash the characters smash?
Speaker 2: They have sex with each other?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I'm thinking of a different What is it?
Speaker 3: What are we talking about?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Elsa is a nice princess, uh and like once
Speaker 1: her powers go out of control, she like turns the
Speaker 1: whole place into frozen land where everywhere, And they were.
Speaker 3: Like, why she got to let it go?
Speaker 2: That's why she got to let it go.
Speaker 1: Well, when she's singing let it go, as she's letting
Speaker 1: her powers just rip, and.
Speaker 3: Oh so that's her fucking up.
Speaker 2: That's her up.
Speaker 1: And a lot of people are dying. They don't show it,
Speaker 1: but a lot of people are dying. Like she's killing crops,
Speaker 1: She's killing like famine is occurring across her nation.
Speaker 4: This is for kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, characters smashing it though?
Speaker 2: What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1: But anyways, people are saying that it seems like the
Speaker 1: villain here is an unsubtle allegory for climate change, and
Speaker 1: that this might be a make good for the First Ghostbusters.
Speaker 1: So we have pointed this out before that like, you know,
Speaker 1: the bad guy in the first Ghostbusters is the Environmental
Speaker 1: Protection Agency, right, and they're the movie is basically being like,
Speaker 1: the government is burdening businesses with like pesky environmental regulations
Speaker 1: and that is what will lead to catastrophe, when you know,
Speaker 1: the past forty years has has shown the exact opposite
Speaker 1: to be true. I didn't realize though, that that was
Speaker 1: like specifically Ivan Rightman's real actual politics. Yeah, he was like, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a conservative slash libertarian who wanted to
Speaker 1: tell an anti EPA story criticizing too much government regulation.
Speaker 1: M Yeah, he was like, yeah, so this is the interview.
Speaker 1: Did you ever imagine the National Review would name Ghostbusters
Speaker 1: one of the best conservative movies? And Rightman says, I
Speaker 1: never knew that. I've always been something of a conservative
Speaker 1: slash libertarian. The first movie deals with going into business
Speaker 1: for yourself, and it's anti EPA, too much government regulation.
Speaker 1: It does have a very interesting point of view that
Speaker 1: really resonates. Yeah, that's what resonates about the movie, not
Speaker 1: the staypuff marshmallow Man and Bill Murray's dry wit.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, it's not fucking ghost the concept of Ghostbusters.
Speaker 3: I didn't even know that's what the movie was about.
Speaker 3: I was here for the anti bureaucracy bench.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, ghost but see I thought the ghost they
Speaker 1: were busting was the ghost of taxes, taxation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Anyways, Uh, maybe they maybe it doesn't make good.
Speaker 1: To all the wokebusters that we've seen over the past,
Speaker 1: you know, of the reboots of Ghostbusters. Maybe that's them
Speaker 1: trying to make make good on it. Maybe Dan Afroyd's like, hey,
Speaker 1: we did a lot of damage with that. Uh, there's
Speaker 1: a there's a whole generation of people who like hear
Speaker 1: E P A and think, yes, your honor, that is true.
Speaker 2: This man has no penis.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's uh, I haven't right, I'm killing it.
Speaker 3: Bro. You did all right, you did well.
Speaker 1: Those are some of the things that are trending on
Speaker 1: this Wednesday, November eight.
Speaker 2: We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 1: Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself,
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Bye bye,
