1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment last stravaganza.

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist.

5
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: So what happened over the weekend? I tried to keep

6
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: Trump news out of my brain as much as possible

7
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: on my vaca. So can you explain to me what

8
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: the latest is with the Trump Tower meeting? Okay, so

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: you've heard of you've heard of Donald Trump, yes, okay,

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: you've heard of Senior, thank you. And you've heard of

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: Dju Don Jr. Okay, so we know don Ju And yeah,

12
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: it's like from when they Homer thought that was a

13
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: content aggregator on Instagram. Uh and then so, uh, you know,

14
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: he's clearly over the last week. We were talking about

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: how how he's so transparent and signaling his frustrations and

16
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: how you can tie every single tweet back to a

17
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: specific news story that he's just addressing. It's not like, oh,

18
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: he's saying stuff again. It's like most of the time,

19
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: it's like you can attribute it back to a news

20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: story that's been on this show. Within the last seconds,

21
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: by the way, is paying attention to his Twitter And yeah,

22
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: I think he definitely the internet right right investigation. So yeah,

23
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: there was a there was an article in the Washington

24
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: Post that sort of described how Trump is sort of

25
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: increasingly going from angry to more worried about Don Junior's

26
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: legal future since you know, up and done a spiracy

27
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: against Mirka. Uh and so they say, and from the article,

28
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: I say, quote, Trump has confided to friends and advisers

29
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: that he is worried about the Mueller probe and how

30
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: could destroy the lives of what he calls innocent and

31
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: decent people, namely Donald Trump Junior, who was under scrutiny

32
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: by Mueller for his role or organizing a June meeting

33
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: at Trump Tower with Russians promising dirt on Hillary. And

34
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: then they go on they said, he does not believe

35
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: his son purposely broke the law, but his fearful nonetheless

36
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 1: that Trump Junior inadvertently may have wandered into legal jeopardy. Uh.

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: That is very I like how the warding shifts there. Yeah,

38
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: that he did that, but may have even break the law.

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 1: But maybe by the end of this long sentence you'll

40
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: think about something else he done stumbled into a conspiracy,

41
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: like his car freezes jumping over it like God, Junior

42
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: done got himself into a whole message trouble and then

43
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: the car lands on the other side. But we have

44
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 1: both cars definitely have the rebel flag on them. But yeah,

45
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: you know, since the President is like the rapper bone

46
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: crusher and thus never scared, he fired off this tweet

47
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: just to prove, how, you know, so relaxed he is.

48
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: And so this is a tweet from I think yesterday

49
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: from five three in the morning. Uh, fake news reporting

50
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: a complete fabrication that I am concerned about the meeting

51
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: my wonderful son Donald had in Trump Tower. This was

52
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: a meeting to get information on an opponent legally, totally

53
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: illegal and done all the time in politics, and it

54
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: went nowhere. I did not know about it. Okay, So

55
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: here's the thing. It almost seemed like he gives a

56
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: ship about his son, which is the most striking things. Eric.

57
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: He wouldn't have said my wonderful son. Yeah, I mean

58
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: I think both stud have said my I think taller, Yeah,

59
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: I think other son. Uh yeah, so I guess he

60
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: cares about him. But the whole thing of you know,

61
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: like this happens all the time and it's legit is

62
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: total bullshit. I mean, yes, getting opposition research is you know,

63
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: a huge part of running and I remember one president

64
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: I heard actually broke into a hotel to do it. Yeah,

65
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: and it worked. Yeah. I mean, so the APO part,

66
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: we I think we all understand that you need that

67
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: to sort of create negatives about or pull out negatives

68
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: about your opponents so then the voters will be like, oh, Okay,

69
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't his voting record is this. But to

70
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: accept any help from a foreign national or hostile foreign government, see,

71
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: that is a crime. Uh. And it's a completely different situation.

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: And the whole thing of like well it went nowhere

73
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah is like it's like not that

74
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: it's one for one, but it's like, well, yeah, I

75
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: hired the hitman to kill, but he didn't kill. Imagine

76
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: if Lee Harvey Oswald hadn't killed him, he's like, I

77
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: shot him, but he's not like dead. Well, and I

78
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: mean not that it's completely one for one like that,

79
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: but you've engaged in the conspiracy to commit this crime,

80
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: and you know they want to say like, well, there

81
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: wasn't even good stuff like isn't a real defense. It's

82
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: definitely shifted from this has never happened, This didn't happen

83
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: how you said it did. This happened, But isn't a crime.

84
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: This happened, but maybe as a crime and he got

85
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: nothing too. Now the next steps is this was a crime.

86
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: Like it's just slowly shifting, right, and you're running out.

87
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: And it's the same thing with like his talking heads

88
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: that have to go out. So like Rudy Giulian, he

89
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: had a terrible couple of weeks in the last two weeks,

90
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: or he was just going on like like literally breaking

91
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: news or then walking it back in a way that

92
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: he was confusing, like people on Fox who are trying

93
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: to like walk him through his logic. It's incredible to

94
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: watch Rudy Giuliani navigate any conversation that's not about an

95
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: eleven right or the Yankees. Yeah, yeah, that's only his

96
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: his two strong points. You know, I told you to

97
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: throw that pitch out, So that's me. Uh. And so

98
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: when he saw the last yesterday on the Sunday Shows,

99
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: one of Trump's lawyers, Jay Seculo, he went on to

100
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: George Stephanopolis show and even like you know, this week

101
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: was looking bad because there were also reports about like, yeah,

102
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: Trump knew about Flynn being compromised and still asked call

103
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: me to ease back on the investigation, thus creating an

104
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: obstruction of justice case. And even Jay Seculo, I think

105
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: he literally reached into his bag of like rhetorical rebuttals

106
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: and literally grabbed nothing and through this just weird argument out.

107
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: So this is his defense of the president's probable obstruction

108
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: of justice. Are you suggesting what would be a problem

109
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 1: if the President pressure James Comey to let the Flynn

110
00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: investigation go after knowing that Michael Flynn was under criminal investigation. Well,

111
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: I want you to understand something. I mean, I know

112
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: this sounds remarkable to a lot of people, but if

113
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: there was investigations going on on Martin Luther King Jr.

114
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: And do you think if President Kennedy would have gone

115
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: to jed Gar Huber and said, hey, stop that that

116
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: that would have been an obstruction of justice coin and

117
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: of course not that would have been article to authority.

118
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: But none of that has happened here. There's been no

119
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: shutting down of any investigations, no shutting down of any inquiries.

120
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: That was I love the just complete silence on the

121
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: other end, and he asked that question. Incredible, Like I

122
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: think he's hoping the person would be like Republican. Yeah,

123
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: so he's on the penny. It's uh, yeah, the arguments

124
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: are getting thinner and thinner and worse and worse, and yeah,

125
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: this is just kind of again, I don't even understand

126
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: the logic there is that, like because Martin Luther King

127
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: was probably being harassed by the FBI because he was

128
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: like doing some because of his civil rights leadership, that

129
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: they identified him as like a threat for your stability

130
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: in this country. I think he meant today though, if

131
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: he had asked Kennedy today to slow it down, you know, Yeah,

132
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: I don't it's it's very It's yeah, I don't know.

133
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it makes sense to me because that was

134
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: a corrupt FBI that was persecuting an innocent person and

135
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: trying to portray our FBI as persecuting an innocent president

136
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: and all of his innocent henchman, because innocent people have

137
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: henchman and he uh, you know, but it's just when

138
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: you find yourself comparing uh Flint or yeah, Michael Michael

139
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: Flynn to Martin Luther King Jr. Like that's the point

140
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: where you're like, oh ship no, no, no no, no, like

141
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: that that doesn't pass the anything test. Uh yeah, I

142
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: think you know, And it makes sense as the manifortual

143
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: heats up because like the other reporting, it really is

144
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: that like it's less anger now and it's a lot

145
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: more fear. That's from from people who are like talking

146
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: to aids behind the scenes. But again, who I mean scared,

147
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: but we're all scared. We're also living in the until

148
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: something happens. Nothing's going to happen, yeah, exactly, Like it's

149
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: hard look at what has happened right right. Yeah, And

150
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: just on the everybody else does this. A lot of

151
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: people are taking that meeting thing Trump's defense there. Uh

152
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, we we've talked about this before, but Al

153
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: Gore in preparing for a debate with George W. Bush, Uh,

154
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: he was handed basically all of George W. Bush Is preparation,

155
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: like all of this whole coloring books, his study book,

156
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: like all the arguments, all the ideas. He was and

157
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: he immediately turned it over to the FBI, probably partially

158
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: because he thought he was just gonna roll over Bush.

159
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: And like I didn't think it was gonna be a problem.

160
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: But also, uh, you know, the thing that he was

161
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: afraid of was probably, well, what if it's from the

162
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: Russians or something, you know, like, how are we to

163
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: know who this the source of information influence saying an

164
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: American presidential like that's you know, want to be involved

165
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: in a vast conspiracy to throw this election? And now

166
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: he's an award nominated filmmaker, right, and but you know,

167
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: Trump in this case knew that it was from Russia,

168
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, at least we know that Donald Jr.

169
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: There's some balls to the defense of Well, but it

170
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: was lame information. The idiots are lame. It wasn't even good.

171
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't even like these guys suck. But yeah, like

172
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people point out that, like this isn't

173
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: the first time Russians have tried to help a presidential candidate,

174
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: and they've all turned it down. Like I know, there

175
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: was they were saying in the eighties four Moscow was

176
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: like they offered helped to quote any candidate of either

177
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: party as long as they were against Reagan, and people like, no, dude, again,

178
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: he was definitely not touted by Republicans is the greatest

179
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: president of all time? Right, So Trump went at Lebron

180
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: James over the weeken. Yeah, because he was a black

181
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: guy who said something about him. And we know that's

182
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, when you look at the criteria takes for

183
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to come at you in a non politics

184
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: setting or even a politics setting, it's you should be

185
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: a person of color who says something about him. As

186
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: we've seen, like you can just like kind of has

187
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: any success. Yeah, as long as as long as Yeah,

188
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: but those are the people who really get something out

189
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: of him, like you know, other politicians like hold on,

190
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: what did what did Lebron's sake? So he was on.

191
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: Lebron was on did an interview with Don Lemon on

192
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: CNN to talk about his new school where he's you know,

193
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: creating a like massive opportunity for these kids in acreative

194
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: being like just another divisive issue, yeah, opening up schools. Yeah,

195
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: and being like, Hi, we'll pay for your school. We'll

196
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: get you a bike so you can get to school.

197
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: If you don't have food at home, will have a

198
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: pantry so you can eat at home. And the thing

199
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about earlier, where you're talking about like underprivileged

200
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: people and people not having opportunities in downtime of school.

201
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: The school also has is a longer school year and

202
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: then offers up programs for and on top of it,

203
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: if you graduate, then they will pay for you to

204
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,239
Speaker 1: go to college. I mean, God, what a fucking asshole

205
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: this Lebron issues. Yeah, and so again that was all fine,

206
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: but then it came to a moment where donal Len

207
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: was talking about how device you know, divisive the current

208
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: atmosphere is in politics right now in the country, and

209
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: what Lebron is doing is a great thing. And they said,

210
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, Don's like, what would you say to the

211
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: president if you were sitting across from him, you know,

212
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: to talk to him? And Lebron was just very flatly

213
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: was like, I would never be sitting across from him

214
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: and que angry racist grandpa on his questions that is

215
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: giving a run for your not interesting to look at

216
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: as best specific because that's so specifics. But I would

217
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: never be across not I would turn down it's so specific.

218
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: I would never be in that situation. I would never

219
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: be in a situation to be here would put myself

220
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: at risk intellectually. So yes, then he fires off this week, Lebron,

221
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: this is this is from Donald J. Trump. Lebron James

222
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon.

223
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: He made Lebron look smart, which isn't easy to do.

224
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: I like Mike Okay, So again Donald Trump does his

225
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: thing again where he tries to make people of color

226
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: be like as stupid people, uh, and painting the first

227
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: Don Lemon, who is African American, is the dumbest man

228
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: on television. That's actually you, my man. Uh, and then

229
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: going at saying Lebron looks smart. Even though in the

230
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: past Donald Trump was all about Lebron moved to Miami.

231
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: It's his year, It's his year, go Lebron, but he

232
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: had he had the audacity to basically be like, no,

233
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: you're the presidents discussing and I want to be around him.

234
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm excited for Lebron James will be worth more money

235
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: than Donald Trump, like he definitely already is. And it's

236
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: it's it's so what an incredible thing to take any

237
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: time of your day doing as the president. Right of

238
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: a thing. And I love all the tweets that are

239
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: staring like Lebron puts kids in school, put three days

240
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: after the school opened. Now is the time come at

241
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: him in the finals. There's all these times where a

242
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: bunch of people be like, I hate you, but I

243
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: agree with you. Right, But now it's like Lebron James

244
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: Stock could not possibly be higher, right, Yeah, And you

245
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: know I like how because he said I like Mike

246
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: so que a fairy. Michael Jordan's response is just sort

247
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: of like, I support LJ. He's doing an amazing job

248
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: for his community, said yeah, but he meant Larry Johnson,

249
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: he supported them for being in space Jam. I support

250
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: Grandmama Larry and his all of his efforts for the

251
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: Charlotte basketball So one disclaimer, the react juice in those

252
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: converse sneakers aren't actual juice. But yeah, I guess the

253
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: whole that's also such an MJ thing too. He couldn't

254
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: have more, you know, he's a stand asshole. Yeah, Republicans

255
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: by sneakers to famous quote from Michael Jordan's Yeah, um, plus,

256
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: kids in cages make great shoes. Yeah, exactly, all tiny

257
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: hands to get those laces. I'm wearing Nikes right now,

258
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: and I'm like that hypocritical Michael Jordan. I thought Jordan's

259
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: I bought in Chinatown in New York. Like, yeah, the

260
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: money thing is something that I hadn't thought about for

261
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: a while. But the fact that, like the myth he's

262
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: most worried about people finding out about him is that

263
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: he's not as rich as he says he is. So

264
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: I do wonder, like, do we think all of this

265
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: is just a distraction so that people will stop asking

266
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: for his tax returns, like the Democrats might be seeing

267
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: those tax returns real quick. But I think the other

268
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: thing it's funny too, now that you say that, is

269
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: that there is a lot that I think that resonates

270
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: with a lot of Americans that do vote for Donald

271
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: Trump and a lot of Americans in general. And I

272
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: talked about this last week. It just sort of this

273
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: idea that a lot of people also spend money to

274
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: simply fight off the appearance of not of being poor

275
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: like and that's a lot of the situation when you

276
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: look at how the there's just a virtually no middle

277
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: class or whatever, and people don't earn enough on the

278
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: spectrum for the time that they put into their jobs.

279
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: Like Donald Trump, he's lying about what he's got. And

280
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: it also appeals to people who might be in denial

281
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: that their situation is actually a lot worse than it is,

282
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: and like, yeah, probably not like the most politically productive

283
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: line of attack, but it is the one that would

284
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: hurt him the most. You've never seen more people with

285
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: no business talking about it, telling me why bankruptcy is

286
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: a good move. You know what, what are you talking about?

287
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: We're all at Wendy's right now. Actually smart to go bankrupt,

288
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: it's smart, it's a it's a freaking bankrupt. You just

289
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: asked to dip your fries into my shape. Yeah. Uh, look,

290
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: we're all in this uberpool right now. I don't need

291
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: to be learning this from the driver. And then also

292
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: Melania even got messy too, because she just came out

293
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: of nowhere without without being asked for comment. She wasn't

294
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: at an appearance anywhere. She just had her spokesperson put

295
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: out a quote that just but was just It looks

296
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: like Lebron James is working to do good things on

297
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: behalf of our next generation. And just as she always has,

298
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: the first Lady encourages everyone to have an open dialogue

299
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: about issues facing children. I'm sorry, this is the biggest

300
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: I hate so much that people call people disagreeing about

301
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: facts open dialogue. Right, You can't when something's objectively true

302
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: or false. You can't have an open dialogue with both sides.

303
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: Freedom of speech. It's incredible. Just think about how I

304
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: feel though, But I don't. I feel like I don't

305
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: want to know what the truth is. No, no, but

306
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: the truth scares me. I think we we skim past

307
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: the fact that if Donald Trump's tax returns come out,

308
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be funny watching him try and remember his

309
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: turbo tax password, like the only billionaire who probably had

310
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: to file online, And it's like, what's the free version? Yeah?

311
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: Do I have audit protection? What is it? Thirty bucks more?

312
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: I forget it? Forget it. I don't have that. Forget it.

313
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't have that. I don't have what do I look? So, Miles,

314
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: what's going on in the pump? I mean not much?

315
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: You know, we all know Paul Manafford is so guilty. Yeah,

316
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: and you know this is what they all the lawyers

317
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: call a documents case because a lot of it has

318
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: to do with a lot of his fraudulent claims about

319
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: his income and defrauding banks and lying about his money

320
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: and money laundering, etcetera, etcetera. So they're clearly a mountain

321
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: of evidence up against him, but they just need a

322
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: few witnesses just come through and be like, yes, that

323
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: it is what it looks like. So yes. Cut to

324
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: Rick Gates, who was Palm Manafort's protege and his like

325
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: right hand man when Paul Manafort was running the Trump

326
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: campaign and even stayed after Paul Manafort left. Was a

327
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: big figure on the Trump campaign. He's the number two

328
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: and then I think took over the Inauguration Committee after

329
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: after that. Um So, he took the stand yesterday in

330
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: the trial, and it essentially just boiled down to this

331
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: him going up on the stand just saying, yes, Paul

332
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: Manafort and I committed crimes, and I also helped him

333
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: commit crimes, and also I used to steal money from him.

334
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: It was so refreshingly plainspoken the way that I didn't expect,

335
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: Like reading over transcripts, you always assumed someone be like, well,

336
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: crimes are very it's it's all encompassing. At the time

337
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: what I was doing, this guy was like, oh, yeah,

338
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: I woke up and I looked at my schedule and

339
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: it said crimes with Paul, and and then I did

340
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: crimes with Paul, and then more criming at five, like yeah,

341
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: because I mean, as I've said on the show earlier,

342
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: to like that they're like, there's there's plain email threads

343
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: back to each other where he's like, help me doctor

344
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: this like PDF. I can't do it in word and

345
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: I need to make it look like I make more money.

346
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: And then he sends it back and then Paul Manafort

347
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: literally like, can you make this a PDF for me?

348
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: The bank needs it as a p and like it's

349
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: just all They're just all like, you know, so well,

350
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: I've got you. Hotmail is different right now the way

351
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: I like how to change the picture that come? Why

352
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: does my last name come up before my first name?

353
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: I don't like that. So yeah, it was very easy time.

354
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: And I guess you know when you think about why

355
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: it was so clean in terms of him when the

356
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: prosecution was talking to him or what do you call that? Uh,

357
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: that they were cross examin a cross examining, thank you

358
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: U that. Yeah, he was just up there because he's

359
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: he's got a plea deal with Paul with Robert Mueller. Uh,

360
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: And it's essentially you know, he's looking he was looking

361
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: at ten years for lying to the FBI and conspiracy

362
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: against the United States. Probably not a good thing. You

363
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: want any record. Uh And because he's cooperating, I think

364
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: they're knocking it down. But yeah, it's clear that he's

365
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: just like, yes, whatever you need so I don't have

366
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: to go to jail for ten years, I will tell you.

367
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: Because the evidence is so damning, they really allow them

368
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: to bring out like the c squad of lawyers come now,

369
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: did you do crimes? Yes for the question. Yeah, like

370
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: it was almost like that. Uh. And you know, good

371
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: luck to Paul Manaforts defense team because I mean, you know,

372
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: there's a chance that maybe the jury could be convinced

373
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: that Rick Gates isn't reliable because he's also a criminal.

374
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: But I mean, like most cases where you have someone

375
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: snitch on the other person, you have to kind of

376
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: be like, well, he's pretty credible, like why he's doing it.

377
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean even if a lot of a

378
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: lot of pundits are saying like even if uh Rick

379
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: Gates didn't take this stand, the fucking documents are just

380
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: all they're already so it's it's it was more just

381
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: for them to like really underline and underscore like, yeah,

382
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: these guys there, this is what they did. And again,

383
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: this is the guy who was in charge of the

384
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: inaugural committee for the president. He would he played a

385
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: big role, Like whether you believe that he uh, any

386
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: thing he says about Manafort, He's like, I do crimes.

387
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: I steal from every everything from my own worst I

388
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: am bad um and people. Yeah, it's it's amazing how

389
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: far we've come in terms of like what we're used

390
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: to him, what we're just like dismissing, like this is

391
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: a you know, just weak, defining news story in any

392
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: other time, any other administration. The first Trump campaign official

393
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 1: who has in court admitted to committing crimes. We you know,

394
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: used to talk about like, wow, what if this thing

395
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: goes as deep as like water Gate? What if this

396
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 1: is our water Gate? Like this is like Watergate is

397
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: nothing compared to this guy. Morton Halperin, who was like

398
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: he was on Nixon's enemies list and he was a

399
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: you know, he helped write the Pentagon papers and then

400
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,239
Speaker 1: served on Nixon's National Security Council staff and you know,

401
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,239
Speaker 1: actually criticized him. He was like one of Nixon's like

402
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: Mueller's basically, And the New Yorker interviewed him and was like, so,

403
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: how do you think like this compares to Watergate, and

404
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: he was just immediately like, oh, Trump's way worse. He's

405
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: far worse than Nixon, certainly as a threat to the country,

406
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: which like you would totally expect him to be like,

407
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, I stopped the worst person, but he's just like, no,

408
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: we do not hold a fucking this ship. Yeah. Yeah.

409
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: So Also I think, just for a timing perspective, because

410
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: John Lovett tweeted this this morning, if the Trump presidency

411
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: is a marathon, we have just passed mile ten. That's

412
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: where we're at timing. And Jack and I we have

413
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: both run marathons. Yes, we know there's quite a bit

414
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: more after that two miles. Uh, the last six miles

415
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: are like you know, they really say that in your brain,

416
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: the first twenty miles are only the halfway point. As

417
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: as a fellow marathon or Daniel, you would you would

418
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: get that. I agree with that. Uh was a marathon

419
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: technically the distance between the town of Marathon and like

420
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: Athens or isn't that why the distance is twenty six

421
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: point something like that. It was sometimes in mythology. Well,

422
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: we don't only need to flecks. I was feeling good

423
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: about my marathon, dumb and small because people as have

424
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: those thirteen point one or twenty six point two bumper stickers.

425
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: I'm like the twenty six point two so specific, Like

426
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: like when people like, yeah I r in a ten

427
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: K or twenty five K or whatever, like jerks t

428
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: K Jack. We're driving and you see someone with a

429
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: thirteen point one sticker, do you like ram them a

430
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: little bit that all the time? Well, I just feel

431
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: entitled to cut them off because they're less than me, right, like,

432
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: clearly don't want it is bad? All right, We'll be

433
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: right back and we're back. Uh. Well, another name is

434
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: John Hot Transition Wow John, and Papa is one of

435
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: the John's. All of this was written out of Papa.

436
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: John's is not doing Wellcome they aren't? They just? Uh,

437
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: of course they're not, because you have a fucking wacky

438
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: avatar owner or founder who refuses to go away and

439
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: blame everyone but himself. Uh. And they just reported their

440
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: earnings fell by another six percent this last quarter because yeah,

441
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: Mr John Schnatter or whatever, he's getting too messy out

442
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: here in the streets. So they have a new plan,

443
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: which is to spend fifty million dollars and hire an

444
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: army of quote advertisers and consultants to basically scrub old

445
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: Papa John's existence entirely from their marketing universe and be like,

446
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: we are this whole other thing. I mean, unless you

447
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: fucking change your name to just like not fucking Papa John's,

448
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how you're gonna distance yourself from This's what. Yeah,

449
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: these pizzas will have the pizza is okay, but yeah,

450
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: so right now, They're current CEO is sort of saying

451
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: like their whole strategy is, like, you know, millennials and

452
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: gen z ears, they've left us for actually good pizza

453
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: or just not eating as much pizza. So their whole

454
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: thing is to try and bring them the young uns

455
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,239
Speaker 1: back in uh, and they can avoid total destruction. And

456
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: like they're even talking about pivoting to sort of like

457
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: a more quote purpose driven model like Chippotle is talking about.

458
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that means, like what does

459
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: Chipotle doing that has purpose? Besides they have like short

460
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: stories on their bags. I think, oh yeah, I remember

461
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: one of the first times I went to Chipotle, there

462
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: was like a George Saunders quote and I just but

463
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: it just made me concern for George Saunders I'm like,

464
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: does he need money? Is he poor? Yeah, there's like

465
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 1: a Neil Guimon or whatever the funk that guy's name.

466
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: I like that story on there. I guess their purpose

467
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: driven thing with Chippotle is like being like Tom's or something.

468
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm excited for like Instagram and influencers

469
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: to start schilling for Papa John. Yeah, like a really

470
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: hot seventeen year old just like eating a slice and

471
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: being like, it's not your mom's John the way your papa's. Yeah,

472
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: that makes the way Chipotle has talked about they say

473
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: they've demonstrated a little bit of our personality and our

474
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: sense of humor. And they said the commercials they feature

475
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: close ups of their fresh ingredients and quippy voiceover uh,

476
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: and the CEO wants customers set Chipole is a purpose

477
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: driven lifestyle brand to help people think. I don't just

478
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: like it's more than just a place to eat, so

479
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 1: but is a place to have diarrhea, right to have

480
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: frank Zapple's shar sharts Yet. I mean we go to

481
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: Chipotle occasionally, but I've I've definitely fallen off that band.

482
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: Like there's a while when like my blood type was

483
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: Chippole but when we do go to Chipotle, it's because

484
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: we identify with their quippy voiceovers a millennial. I'm like,

485
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: where's the quippy vot? I honestly, I'm like, I lost

486
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: my library card. Where can I go to get some

487
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: literary mind? Are seven like? Oh, I'll just go to

488
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: chipole and and take a giant dump while reading that.

489
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: That is nice that the one of the puppiest restaurants

490
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: in the entire world provides you with reading material while

491
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: it exits you. Um, I don't know. I say, don't

492
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: sleep on the other Papa, sweet sweet little Gino. Do

493
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: you ever go to Papa Gino's an East Coast pizza change, Yeah,

494
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: it's don't sleep on Gina's. I hope that Gino is.

495
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: I used to date the assistant manager of Pappa Gino's.

496
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 1: Not to anyone's disclosure, I haven't in it Papa Gino's

497
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: or I did in the late two thousands. So I

498
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: think that Ginos takes this opportunity to be like, there's

499
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: a vacant Papa throne and he's like, okay, so here

500
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: And so Gino's is a cutie pot. He's a little

501
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: cartoon who looks like the drummer in the Chuck E

502
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: Cheese band ak pasqually there you go. Yeah, and this

503
00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: is basically a mainly Massachusetts based pizza brand because when

504
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: you when you think of pizza, you think the Commonwealth

505
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: of Give. I mean they could change their name of

506
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: sucking Papa Smurfs, and I think even Papa Doc or

507
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: p Yeah, I mean fucking Papa Shango. I don't know anything,

508
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: but yeah, well Papa himself, John Schnatterly whatever the his

509
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: name is Snatter He was saying that the reason their

510
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: stock is actually down is that they're chasing these millennials

511
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: by and they changed their colors and the color change

512
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: is what has them. It's not blaming, it's not blaming

513
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: people protesting police brutality. All these people under thirty don't

514
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: understand the colors. So that's because of that. Interesting of

515
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: him to make a color based argument. Fucking idiot. Yeah,

516
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: So the thing that people don't understand is the thing

517
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: people want with their pizza is the same colors as before,

518
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: and like, that's what you want to associate with your

519
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: pizza eating experience. So now this brings me to the

520
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: story that has made me the most skeptical that there

521
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: is a blue wave, or you know that any rational

522
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: thing will happen in the future of America. Ha goes

523
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: by is uh so that there was a USA Today

524
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: survey that was based on twenty two thousand customers in America.

525
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,239
Speaker 1: They were asked about the quality of products, services, and

526
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: satisfaction with more than three hundred eighty companies and industries. Uh.

527
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: And the limited service restaurants list, I'm going to give

528
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: them to you in order. This is fast food, yes,

529
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: a limited services fast food? Right? What a euphemistic term.

530
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: Top of the list Chick fil A. I'm okay with that.

531
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean politically not great, but very polite. I understand

532
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: where they're coming from, and like their food is satisfying. Uh.

533
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: Panera bread is confusing to me. I like Panera, Yeah,

534
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: it's it's nice that they just let you chill there

535
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: for hours where you eat a Yeah. I used to

536
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: always eat the Asiago roast beef sandwich. College. I was

537
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: the broccoli cheddar and a bread bull if I could

538
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: afford it. In college, that's where all the mom's got

539
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: a gossip. Oh yeah, yeah, that is right. It's always

540
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: like a Panera nera like a gym or yoga studio

541
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: where next door to a nailsal lot, Like, yeah, fully

542
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: the mom's it's the last. So Panera makes sense because

543
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: that's where we're gonna have our town hall meetings going forward,

544
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: Like that is the town meetingful discourse Number three Papa

545
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: John's number three, the highest rated pizza restaurant, the third

546
00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: highest rated fast food restaurant before Dominoes, before Way before Dominoes.

547
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: Next one is Pizza Hut somehow what and then subway.

548
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: It's like subway, No subway, they fucking suck. I love

549
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: the cookies. I occasionally heat the sandwich, but you know,

550
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: the people at the subways I go to, they act

551
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: like I'm fucking bothering them. Every time I ask for

552
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: just anything. I'm like, oh, can I get a little

553
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: more of this? And like I've had some good discourset subway.

554
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: Really yeah, I asked because I always ask where the

555
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: seafood sensations? That like when they when they bring them

556
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: back the seafood sensation and they're like, oh, it's good

557
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 1: that they took it away. It was really bad, right,

558
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: It's like that a seafood salad, like mayonnaise seafood. What

559
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: was the jar of mayonnaise with some invitation crab inside

560
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: of it, and it costs like ten dollars. It's really bad.

561
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: I used to love the seafood sensation. It's a young buck. Wait,

562
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: and weren't you also the tuna fish eat or a

563
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: dunkin donuts? I was? I was young tuna. So you

564
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: just with the fast seafood ship. I like the gnarliest

00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: mayonnaisiast most dangerous food, honoring your Bostonian roots, just embracing

566

595
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: Papa John's is the ship this much in the same

596
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: way when I first encountered Papa just like, yo do

597
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,960

599
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,960

600
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: kinds of pizza, I'm like, wait, this fucking sucks. Is

601
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,680

607
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: shared that you like Subway fast Subway and Mike's harder blood.

608
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: Another male name is Devon Miles take it away. Wow,

609
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: thanks for that, Brian Shaw. Now Shaquille O'Neal, throw it down.

610
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: My man is going to be so yes, and boy

611
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: named Devon uh. He spoke at a fundraiser in Washington

612
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,959
Speaker 1: State for Kathy McMorris Rogers Roger, who is the number

613
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: four Republican in the House, so very up there. So

614
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: she's she's the pizza Hut of the Republication exactly, and

615
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan is Chick fil A. She is the pizza Hut.

616
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: So the event was meant to be like a private fundraiser,

617
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: meaning like no press just only wealthy Republicans who are

618
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: all the homies. So you can talk loose in there

619
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: because ain't nobody listening, and we can just tell our

620
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: secrets because we're all paying so much money to be there.

621
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: But FUSE Washington, which is like a progressive sort of

622
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: watchdog organization, they basically had somebody pay them pay the

623
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: price to get in here and just record the ship

624
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: to hear how what they were talking about. And so

625
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: we all know about you know, Devin Nounez and his

626
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: love for Trump and how he'll fucking do anything to

627
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: come up the whole investigation, whether it's the Muther investigation

628
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: or the House Intel investigation or fucking Investigation, Discovery Channel,

629
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Yeah, he's just a fucking you know,

630
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: he's a lackey and guy who hopped out of his

631
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: black car in the middle of traffic to go visit

632
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: with the President when he got a message from him.

633
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: I would love to call him a loser to his face.

634
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: I think it really it would really hurt. Yeah, it

635
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: would be devastating. Uh, it would be devastating. Uh. And

636
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: if you saw the photo of him in high school,

637
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: he's got the sickest mullet, it's it's pretty chill. He's

638
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: got like a turtleneck with his turtleneck sweater Mullet combo

639
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: that only someone from the Central Valley carrocks so seamlessly.

640
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: But anyway, so suffice to say, he is totally all

641
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: in for Trump and will do what anything and anything

642
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: it takes, including completely sacrificing his own morals and just

643
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: giving up his ability to feel shame. So during this

644
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: recording he said a few things that were very interesting.

645
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: One of the first things that like they were this

646
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: is all Rachel Mattow because she exclusively got the tape

647
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: and aired to last night. One of the first comments

648
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: was pretty standard stuff like not totally surprising, where he

649
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: was sort of saying, like, you know, the president tweets

650
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: some good stuff sometimes and sometimes like makes you want

651
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: to cringe and blah blah blah. Just a little interesting

652
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: because normally, in his eyes, Trump can do no wrong.

653
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: And also, Devin Noon has has repeatedly been on like

654
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: the nicer end of Trump's Twitter more than once because

655
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: he's always been just like, all right, good boy, thank

656
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: you for doing what I need. Uh. And so then

657
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: he got he got a little bit more and more honest,

658
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: and some more points came out that are unsettling but

659
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: makes sense given his behavior. So one of the first

660
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: things he says, Uh basically admits that if, like a

661
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: in a hypothetical world, if you received something from a

662
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: foreign government and used it an election that was hack material,

663
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 1: that would be criminal. So listen to this recording of

664
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: him sort of basically admits that he knows better about

665
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: what collusion is my ches country. Good pass from the

666
00:36:55,200 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: court step side. Just well, that's basically describing what is

667
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: happening right now. Did he not know he was doing that?

668
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean he painfully he did a

669
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: lot of work to not say Russia. He was like,

670
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: maybe it's the Chinese or Portuguese, because I'm Portuguese. If

671
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: they gave her hacked emails and she released him, that

672
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: would be criminal. Okay, it sounds like he sounds like

673
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: a high school or trying to impress his friends by

674
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: like all but saying it just in kids. It gets

675
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: hack zeros once. But you know, it's like when you're

676
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: at the lunch table, you're like, guys, you know, like

677
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, we're talking. It's like, no, you're a dork.

678
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: Shut up. I like that. You can hear in that soundclip,

679
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: you can hear all the tinkling of works and nine

680
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: and people been like, it's like people who have are

681
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: like have like really impaired motor skills, are using silverware

682
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: because it's so loud. People for example, Yeah that if

683
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: you told them Donald Trump wasn't handing something die in

684
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: front of you. But it is nice that they subway

685
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: catered it with all seafoods. So yeah, it's again, it

686
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: just shows you how how blatant he is in his

687
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 1: actions where he knows what is that, he's basically trying

688
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: to obscure criminal behavior by hamstringing the investigations in any

689
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: way he can. But we knew that, you know, like

690
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: obviously he knows better, and but he and then he

691
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 1: just shows everybody, Yes, I know that if you received

692
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: hacked information and you used it from another and it

693
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: came from a foreign government, that is criminal. Thank you

694
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: for putting on your hacker glasses shaming I just on

695
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: behalf of the community. We of course we're at there

696
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: hacking stamp it. We've always been hacking zeros one clicking delete.

697
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 1: Thank you you're in now. Then he moved on to

698
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: talking about Rod Rosenstein and essentially how you know it's

699
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: not that they you know, like I think someone asked

700
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: in the in the fundraiser, like, oh, what's going on

701
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: with that? And he was sort of spraming and sort

702
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: of like, well, it's not because we don't want to.

703
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: It's just like it's more of a timing thing. So

704
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: in this he's going to speak a little bit about why,

705
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, impeaching Ron Rosenstein would interfere with confirming Brett

706
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Uh, and so they can't

707
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: confirm him and tear down our democracy at the same time, guys,

708
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: is sort of what he's saying. And so listen to

709
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: him explain sort of how he sees the sequence happening

710
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: if they're going to impeach Rod Rosenstein, so we actually

711
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: impeach what that does well, and you have to decide

712
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: what you right now because only has so much time

713
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: everything and not contro the sprame Coortlaster. So that's part

714
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: of why I don't think you're you're not from I've

715
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: said the Rosenstein deserves to be a peach I mean,

716
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: so I don't think you're gonna get any argument from

717
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: most of our colleges. The question is the timing of it.

718
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: Right before the elections. The sin would have to start.

719
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: The sinner have to drop everything they're doing and start

720
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: to start with the pat of Rosenstein and then to

721
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: take the risk of not getting not getting capital. So

722
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: it's a it's not a matter of Rosest, it's a

723
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: matter of it's a matter of time. Okay, Wow, did

724
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: you hear someone choked to death there in the middle

725
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: of that. It's tough when your audience is entirely tobacco

726
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: executive her So yeah, when when you hear that one,

727
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: you're like, oh shit, Okay, clearly he still has his

728
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: plan or agenda to try and impeach Rod Rosenstein. Again,

729
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: if you don't know Rod Rosenstein is, he's the Deputy

730
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: Attorney General of the Department of Justice, and he is

731
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 1: in charge of the Mulleer investigation because Jeff Sessions recused

732
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: himself as he should have because he has, you know,

733
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: conflicting interests when it comes to this investigation. So their

734
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: whole thing is, well, if the Mueller investigations started getting

735
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: too hot, we can impeach Rod Rosenstein and then put

736
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: someone else in there that will basically either end the

737
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: Mueller investigation or just kneecap the things, so it can't

738
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: really do functionally anything. Uh So, when you listen to

739
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: it as little and I was having, we're kind of

740
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: talking about, like what's going on here, because on one hand,

741
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: you have people like Paul Ryan and other top Republicans

742
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 1: being like, there's no reason to impeach Rod Rosenstein or whatever,

743
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: like it doesn't make sense. It's just not gonna work.

744
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: So on one hand, I was like, well, maybe he's

745
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: telling these donors like he's trying to protect his ego

746
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: about like, oh, I didn't really take that l like that.

747
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: It's not like they don't back me, like it's just

748
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: a timing thing, like we're gonna get around to it,

749
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: which makes sense. But also when you listen to his

750
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: the next thing, he says, I can imagine a world

751
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: where a lot of leadership on the in the Republican

752
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: Party is secretly on board with that because their endgame

753
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: is sort of becoming a little bit clearer. So this

754
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: is now, uh nonas sort of basically admitting that if

755
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: the government functions properly in the Department of Justice does

756
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: what it does, which is, you know, make sure there's

757
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: no laws being broken, then Trump's presidency would effectively end,

758
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: and they that's why they have to funk around so

759
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: much to keep the president. And so listen, this is

760
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: this is him sort of showing his hand in terms

761
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: of what the endgame could be there. I mean, we

762
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: have we have to keep we do not those are

763
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: the stakes of the mid term election. Yeah, so again

764
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: he says, quote, if Sessions won't unrefused and Muther won't

765
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: clear the president, we are the only ones, which is

766
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: really the danger. That's why I keep and think you

767
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: for saying it. By the way, I mean, we have

768
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: to keep all these seats. We have to keep the majority.

769
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: If we do not keep the majority, all of this

770
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 1: goes away. So they know that if they lose the majority,

771
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: that means Democrats are in power, and now they can

772
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: really set the agenda of like what what Trump's future

773
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 1: is gonna look like. And that's why they're like, we'll see,

774
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: that's why you know, if we hopefully we keep the majority,

775
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: so we don't have to fully burn the fucking House

776
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: down and impeach Rod Rosenstein and tear the d o

777
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: J down and turn like in that sense, to keep

778
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: the heat off the president. Uh so there's you know

779
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: that that that's why we have to do this, guys,

780
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: because it's just us now, it's just us, it's just

781
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: our thin majority and the just to be clear and

782
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: put this all in context, the so they're basically saying,

783
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: our last option is to use the Republican controlled you know,

784
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: Congress to uh, you know, shut the investigation now because

785
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: the Trump appointed Deputy Attorney general like won't shut it down,

786
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: and you know, they can't get any other way to

787
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: shut it down. So this is what they what it's

788
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: come down to. And he's like one person left who

789
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: still wants to shut it down. I hate to bring

790
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: it back to the forks, but I can't hear anything

791
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: on that tape other than forks. So there, as that

792
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: tape goes on, you'll notice the fork sounds diminish, and

793
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: it does remind me of something else that sounds a

794
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 1: lot like, uh my not Uncle Mike's Terrible Republican Band,

795
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: which is the Jonestown tape where you know it's like

796
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: it gets quiet as the tape goes on, and that

797
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: is kind of what the whole the whole New Nez

798
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: Dinners from like expiring at the table, so so that

799
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: the hacker news on this is that the seafood sensation

800
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: everyone was eating was poison. So as Devonias is talking,

801
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: everyone is slowly dying and so a bunch of tobacco

802
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: gods are dead now. Well. The thing the other thing

803
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: to notice is Kathy McMorris Rogers. So she had a

804
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: primary in Washington and and she like barely eked got

805
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: out of there like alive, like she'll because they also

806
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: have a jungle primary like in California, where the top

807
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: two vote getters face off in the in the midterm

808
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: election in November, she barely got in. And for being

809
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: that high up, and I think she's I think she

810
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: was first, but like not in a way that like

811
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,319
Speaker 1: an incumbent should normally win, uh, which is yeah, which

812
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: I think is another indication too, because this was before

813
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: the primaries happened, that she was clearly feeling the heat already,

814
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: and they were kind of in this thing where like yo,

815
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: even the number four Republican like it's it's closing in

816
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: on them too, like people are just sort of getting

817
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: a little bit weary of their fuccory who she almost

818
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: get beat by? Was it a Democrat or like a

819
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: further right Republican. No, it's a it's a Democrat. Yeah.

820
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: In her primary, she had a lead of a little

821
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 1: more than a five votes. Another tape news and Rosa

822
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: was apparently taping the President during her time in White House.

823
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: We don't know what is going to be on that tape.

824
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: I'd imagine it won't be much good, but who the

825
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: fund knows. Yeah. I read an article where someone was

826
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: saying like they after speaking with people had who had

827
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 1: heard the recordings, it wasn't really that great. It's like, oh,

828
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: you you recorded him. But I don't know. Maybe she,

829
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: maybe Alma Rosa isn't. She's only letting people know, Like

830
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 1: I have tapes, but I showed you the bangers on

831
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: this album right right right right to the album Bangers

832
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: by Mine. These signs one of the great. Uh. Yeah,

833
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: and her book might have like some Fire and Fury

834
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 1: style fun that we can get. Yeah. I mean also,

835
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: I mean, like what a blatant cash crab to like

836
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: if Sean Spicer's book wasn't enough like hers? Just called unhinged,

837
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: I think all I do. I do love that titles.

838
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: It was someone whose book i'd want to buy. I

839
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: called unhinged. It might as well just be like, like

840
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: I go back to Big Brother tape often in my

841
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: mind just being like it's not so bad, just exactly

842
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: what I think everybody was assuming. But to see somebody

843
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: who was previously a big supporter of his be that

844
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: terrified is yeah, it's still scary. All right, let's take

845
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: a quick break and we're back. And I think it

846
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: was last night on Kimmel Kanye Kanye showed up, showed up,

847
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: and he ghosted some other shows, so they they've had

848
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: a feud in the past. Oh yeah, remember remember well

849
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: on Twitter, remember they were going back and forth and

850
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 1: like that's when like Virgil Ablow was helping him make

851
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: memes like flat back in him where it was like

852
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: like it was like SpongeBob SquarePants and he's like Jimmy

853
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: Kimmel's face looking motherfucker like it was this weird. It

854
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: was like right around the yes this album. I remember

855
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: when they were fucking want at and then they squashed

856
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: it or whatever. So yeah, when he showed up yesterday,

857
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,280
Speaker 1: I was like it was like a twenty two minute

858
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 1: interview total, and I really loved Jimmy Kimmel lots interview

859
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: were actually like he's never run me the wrong way.

860
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: He's always really nice and like he's still it's funny

861
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: without being obnoxious. Um, and I really like the interview.

862
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, Kanye is just a character. But

863
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: because I don't know, I liked how Jimmy spun it

864
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: all because he always was like underlying like Donald Trump

865
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: sucks h and Kannie didn't really have anything report, like

866
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: he didn't have a rebuttal to any of that, aside

867
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: from like he would just say his point, like I

868
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: had to build up a lot of confidence to put

869
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: that Maga hat on. It wasn't because of that, it

870
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: was just it was more of a symbolic moment for

871
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 1: me to like taketl yeah, or just be like I'm

872
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 1: going to do this thing I want. I don't care

873
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: what the repercussions are. I want to wear the hat

874
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: or whatever. And sure, but there was one moment that

875
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: was so good where you could tell Kanye doesn't really

876
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,720
Speaker 1: he's not in the ring with intellectual heavyweights too often

877
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: trying to defend his position because Jimmy kim Yeah, Jimmy

878
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: Kimmel just melted him with one question basically, So I

879
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: think We're playing a clip of Kanye kind of talking

880
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: about his love for Trump, health, love and just can

881
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: solve everything, and then Kimmy, Jimmy, Kimmy gets them real good.

882
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 1: But I see people just even like go at the president.

883
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: It's like, why not try love for one person, to

884
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: stand up against all odds and just hug somebody the

885
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: way that Alice Johnson hugged her family when she got

886
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 1: out of jail. That one by one by one, we

887
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: can defuse this nuclear bomb of hate that we're in

888
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: as a society by thinking of everyone is our family,

889
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: and how are we treat our kids? How are we

890
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: treating I think that's a beautiful thought. But just in

891
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: literal terms, there are families being torn apart at the

892
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 1: border of this country. They are are literally families being

893
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,760
Speaker 1: torn apart as a result of what this president is doing.

894
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, we cannot forget that,

895
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 1: whether we like his personality or or not, his actions

896
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: are really what what matter. I mean, so famously and

897
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: so powerfully said George Bush doesn't care about black people.

898
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: It makes me wonder, what makes you think that Donald

899
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 1: Trump does, or any people at all? Why don't we

900
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: take a break we'll come back and Kanye. Every time

901
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: Kanye gets nervous in this interview, he crosses his arms. Yeah,

902
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: you go, he's so transparent, you know, I mean, like

903
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: his you know, the few times where you can read

904
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: someone's body language is Kanye because he's signaling great, like, Okay,

905
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: let me close off to what you're saying now, and

906
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: then okay, what do you so what you can't see

907
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: because this is an audio podcast, is right after you

908
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: ask that question, Kannie like he takes it in, he

909
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 1: leans back like he's about to say something, and then

910
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: just kind of goes right. And then Kim will just merciful.

911
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: He's just like, Okay, let's take a break because you

912
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: don't need to take that much of an l on camera.

913
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: And then but the thing that disappointed me a little

914
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: bit is when they came back, they just kind of

915
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 1: went back to other topics. Yeah, and I think you

916
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: need to, you know, hold this man's feet to the

917
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: fire because he he doesn't even really know where he lands, uh, Kanye,

918
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: cause he didn't really thought about any of this ship.

919
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 1: And also when he said Alice, when he brings up

920
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: Alice Johnson, that was the woman that Kim Kardascian caped

921
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,839
Speaker 1: for and then got the pardon, right, he was like, well,

922
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: why can't when she comes out and hugs her family,

923
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 1: like blah blah blah, that's love between a family where

924
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: there is love that exists. That is not a supported her. Yeah,

925
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: that is not an adversarial relationship. So what the funk

926
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: are you? Like? That's where you're like, oh man, you

927
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: are you just so detached from reality? It's yeah, well

928
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, but I do like Jimmy Kimmel and how

929
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 1: he handled it though he's he's a smart man. Yeah, yeah,

930
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: he didn't. I mean, he didn't get real messy about it,

931
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: but he just brought up a few things like Okay,

932
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave that there. You that so split that

933
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,240
Speaker 1: marriage and his points, his views are very obviously shown,

934
00:51:58,280 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like he's he's not going

935
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,839
Speaker 1: to just like jack him off as it's like interviewing him.

936
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: I like that about Jimmy kill He's not like Jimmy

937
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: Fallon is just like laughing at every joke, jacks everyone off.

938
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,479
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, most people who don't live out here don't

939
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: know that. But he's constantly jacking guts off, just especially

940
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: little known fact. You don't see that's actually a that's

941
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:21,959
Speaker 1: your name, That is true, constantly called jack off when

942
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: I was when I was a kid. Yeah, sweat rolled

943
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: down his face. He's not crying, Okay, No, these are

944
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: tears of laughter called courage water, and he's my courage

945
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,280
Speaker 1: is so much it's coming out my floors and my eyes.

946
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: I thought it was really smart that he pointed out

947
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: that he was like, yes, you're viewing that as a

948
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: completely personality based, right, And that is true of narcissists.

949
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: That's true Trump, That's true of kind of it. It

950
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: seems that everything is just personality based. And I think

951
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: it's also true of our media that we tend to

952
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: just you know, when more viewing elections or these stories

953
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: were just like are you into world rest? Even with

954
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: the me too stuff, there are people who like some people.

955
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: If you're a fan, like there's that first layer of like,

956
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: but that person is cool? Right? Am I willing to

957
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: like like remove that from the like observing this situation.

958
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,879
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's interesting that you started out

959
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: talking about like not knowing the difference between a character

960
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,839
Speaker 1: and a nonfictional thing and a character and a fictional thing,

961
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: because I think that that kind of breaks down for

962
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: us a lot of the time, that a lot of

963
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: these celebrities are just kind of fictional character. Uh. You know,

964
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: Kanye is not a fictional character though, right you called

965
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: him a character. You know, he's just he's a real person. Yeah,

966
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I did like. I did like when Kimmel

967
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: when he brought him out, he described him as like

968
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: a very talenty musician, whatever, whatever, and the last thing

969
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 1: was shoe salesman and you brought him out. All right,

970
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please
