I think that's the 36 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: most eloquent way for me to put it. I feel 37 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: I feel excited that it's almost over. I feel relieved 38 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: that the actual voting is over, and I feel incredibly 39 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,119 Speaker 1: um nervous. I was telling Sophie before we started recording, 40 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: I actually feel like before when I used to go 41 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: on on lots of auditions, before I had a really 42 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: big audition, I would have almost unbearable nerves that I 43 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: would feel down into my fingertips, And whenever I turn 44 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: on the news or start to read about it, I 45 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: feel really jittery. I don't know if that resonates with anybody, 46 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: but that's my emotional state. I'm I'm I'm enjoying today. 47 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: I'm watching watching people dunk on four Chan. I'm just 48 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: scrawling through the Proud Boys, the Proud Boys that posted 49 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: a few days. It's good stuff. I do you want 50 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: to see that guy on Ritter? I don't even I 51 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: didn't even read who it was. That was like a 52 00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: worn black talk Yeah yeah, David Mother jos Corn who 53 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: has credible sexual harassment allegations against Jones. Yeah, good mind. Like, 54 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: I don't know who this man is. I don't want 55 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: to look into it, but I hate him. Yeah, there's 56 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: some there's some fun, embarrassing stuff out there today. I 57 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: think you're right, it's very fun. I think that that's 58 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: adding to my general jitteriness. If there's like so many 59 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: good jokes twitters on fire, um, I feel excited that 60 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: they're losing that they've lost. They definitely lost the election. 61 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: Yeah where I am I'm not you know, you know me, 62 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't like Joe Biden. I think he's 63 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: also got credible sexual assault allegations against him, amongst other things. 64 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: Thinks he's he's going to do of like the several 65 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: dozen incredibly important things that need to be done. I 66 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: think best case scenario is he's willing to do like 67 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: one ish of them. Worry about what are you talking about? 68 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: Come on? Yeah, I'm not really so too much attention 69 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: to you know, the Yeah, Joe Biden's you know, I'm 70 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: in a photoshop Joe Biden into the Avenger stuff. But 71 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: I am enjoying the Proud Boys and the Nazis on 72 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: four Chane melting down that that is fueling me right, 73 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: basking that. Yeah, today is for basting. I'm wrapped with this. 74 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: I'm just it's captured all of my attention and focus 75 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: right now because I want to see Donald Trump lose. 76 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: I really hate that.

Um sounded like ship buddy und man. 87 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: If you guys, if you guys missed this yesterday, President 88 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: soon to be former president Donald Trump, uh went out 89 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: there basically, you know, he did his slug hisself and 90 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: just you know, let it rip a lot of lies. 91 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: It was very very frustrating to watch because like, why 92 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: are we watching it? But he did look very very sad. 93 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,799 Speaker 1: Kudos to MSNBC for cutting away do that stuff more often. 94 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: M Yes, that's uh. That's part of it, um. That 95 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: And then the other part is frustration with uh generally 96 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: being right about everything else that's going to happen. Um, 97 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 1: with the blaming of progressives, all the Biden stuff you 98 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: talked about, Katie, I've I've already seen people tweeting like 99 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: do they feel sorry for Donald Trump in a way? 100 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of the sort of general 101 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: like we're gonna get back to this and back to 102 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: this and back to this, like yep, already doing it. Um, 103 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: that's frustrating, but yeah, it's gonna be frustrating after today. Yeah, 104 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: but today, today, Today is for basking. Today is for 105 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,559 Speaker 1: having a little bit of fun thinking about the fact 106 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: that you can really see the COVID nineteen on the 107 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: president's face today because he just looks exhausted. You know, 108 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: you brought up COVID nineteen. And I think it's very 109 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: important to note that we have had consecutive highest numbers 110 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: of cases reported horrible, several days in a row. I 111 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: believe we're at one thousand, but there was a tweet 112 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: that we might be up to hundred and fifty thousand 113 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: by the day. So a gruesome reminder of what's still 114 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: at stake right now, A lot of stuff for tomorrow. Sophie, 115 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: your turn, did you say how you're feeling. I'm disappointed 116 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: and not surprised with my disappointment that our country so 117 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: fucking racist and stupid. Yeah, that is actually a good 118 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: transition to I'm talking about what I kind of want 119 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: to talk about. Um, I mean, there's lots we want 120 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: to talk about. Yes, it appears that Joe Biden has 121 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: won this election. They're not calling it. We can go 122 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: ahead and call it. I think, oh, I'm called called, 123 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: it's called called, it's called. It's pretty pretty clear. I'm 124 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: not I'm not slate Milvert, but you know, I'll make 125 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: I'll make the call. I don't think our reputations are 126 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: at stake here on this um, but breaking breaking news, 127 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it. You mentioned the progressives and we're 128 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: going to talk about that whole conversation in a little bit. 129 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: But I just along the lines of the frustrating things 130 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: that you talked about. It's all of this talk about 131 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden as the unity candidate and a lot of 132 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: people saying that this this is a resounding victory, and 133 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: to me, it still is not, you know, utter embarrassing. 134 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: It's like were we were waiting for Georgia to flip 135 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: by a couple of hundred VOTs votes, like, come on, 136 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: resounding very cool that Georgia is flipping that.

I just want 140 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: to be clear about that. I'm just gonna say that. 141 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: And if it wasn't obvious already, thank you to the 142 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: amazing people of color who saved this lessure from our 143 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: should should should white people who did the wrong. But like, god, 144 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: damn it, I mean, I completely agree with you. It's just, 145 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: if anything, this just again reiterates just how divided our 146 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: country is, how it's not going away anytime soon. I mean, 147 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: there's that barbecue beer freedom guy, and everybody had a 148 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: laugh about him, as we are doing right now. But 149 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: I also I also saw it as like a really 150 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: awful reminder of the way of huge percentage of people 151 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: in this country rethink and feel um, you know, and 152 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: and all the people gathered outside of the ballot play 153 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: the voting centers to stop and uh stop and start whatever, 154 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: you know. Count I know that people have already likened 155 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: this to that episode of Veep, but it's eerie.

They were doing some sort of actually 165 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: let me pull up old Goads tweets about it because 166 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: they they're pretty interesting folks. They did a fundraiser for 167 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: something a little bit back. But yeah, they were part 168 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: of the anti lockdown protests and um yeah, uh seemed 169 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: to be good dudes. H for sure, love love to 170 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: see it. Oh here we go. Okay, I've got it. 171 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: So the guy Antonio number one has sorry Katie, oh no, no, 172 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: that's fine. I think Antonio Lamota has a hilarious comics 173 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: that he draws of Amanda Chase Um beating up Governor 174 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: Northam of Virginia that are just like very Actually he 175 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: does have a little bit of you know, he put 176 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: in a little bit more work. He could have been 177 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: a cartoonist. Um, he's like been Garrison level. Um. But yeah, 178 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: he also worked security for Amanda Chase when she made 179 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: her announcement for her campaign for the governor of Virginia. 180 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: And uh, it's it's pretty cool that he tried to 181 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: carry out a terrorist attack but didn't succeed to do 182 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: so good news. Yeah, he's registered himself as private security, bodyguards, surveillance. 183 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just like these people are volunteering their 184 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: time to count these votes, working through the night, but 185 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: rushing that it's taking so long. They're they're putting posters 186 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: over the windows while people fill it from the inside. 187 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: So it's like it's not already being like it's disgusting. Yeah. 188 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: Good note. Also there's photos of Virginia State Senator Amanda 189 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: Chase with the hummer that was to be used in 190 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: the attack and a Q and on flag behind her. 191 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 1: So again, we have some ship we're gonna have to 192 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: do with some stuff here. Sick you know. Yeah, all 193 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: of these are very important points. And part of the 194 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: problem right now is that it is being it's so 195 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: dragged out, dragged out, drug out, and dragged out. I 196 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: believe we mentioned this and we did a episode earlier 197 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: this week. The same day voting in many states. Of course, 198 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: heavily favors Donald Trump the in person voting because this year, 199 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: so many people did their mail in ballots, and so 200 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: we always knew, we always knew that it was going 201 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: to take a long time. I wasn't, I guess, emotionally 202 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: prepared for what that would actually look like. You know 203 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: this because so many states do not allow for counting 204 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: of those ballots before election day, so all of the day, 205 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: the votes that were cast that day got counted first 206 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: again by design, by design, And it was definitely yeah, 207 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: it was part of a plan to you know. Okay, 208 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: if Donald Trump had been clearly ahead on the same 209 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: day voting, then he would have had a blanket excuse 210 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: for saying, stop the votes, all of these are late. 211 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: But it doesn't behoove him right now. I mean, he's 212 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: saying it anyway when it's appropriate for him. But the 213 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: side note, he was never ahead at all during this 214 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: entire process. So I just wanted to just not point 215 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: that out to him. I think that sobody should tell 216 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,599 Speaker 1: him a couple of times he listens to this. Donalds 217 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: have called states, Joe Biden has always been ahead and 218 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: every yea. So it's very funny. It didn't quite work, 219 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: but yes, that is amplified this division and the uncertainty 220 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: around the election. It's contributing to all of our nervousness 221 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: as we watch and see what's going to happen and 222 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: how people will react. I assume we will be talking 223 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: about this for a while. This is the first of 224 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: many conversations about it. Do you guys think that Trump 225 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: will refuse to leave the White House? People were talking 226 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: about online today. I also do not. It's funny he'd 227 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: got on past the stuff he said yesterday. He was 228 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: absolutely like saying a coup yesterday, like what he was 229 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: saying yesterday, for sure, but it was the lowest energy 230 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: attempt at a coup I could imagine. And I was 231 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: chatting with a colleague about this um and and I 232 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: think the conclusion we both came to us that like 233 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: this dawning realization of like, oh right, like they're fucking 234 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: exhausted too, like everyone is. Uh. When we talked about 235 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: this show specifically, we aside we didn't know that anything 236 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: that happened this year was going to happen us or not. 237 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: The the global pandemic, but the idea was it's going 238 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: to be the worst year ever for everybody. Yeah, not us, 239 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: terrible them too. They don't like it either. They're not 240 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: having a fun time during the election either, um for everybody. 241 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: And that little little speech that he eked out really 242 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: really put that on display. He's having a bad time, 243 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: having a bad time sympathy for Donald Trump. J K. 244 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: He looked like he was like like half on a 245 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: sedative and was like it was really enjoyable for me. 246 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: His body language was even shittier than normal or it's 247 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: just like um, and Kaylee didn't even look him in 248 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: the eye, which I probably enjoyed. Normally she like will 249 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: be like looking up when he's talking, like a creepy, uh, 250 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: creepy cult cult person, But in this case she was 251 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: head down the entire time, which the losers who lost, 252 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: so you know, shame. I also want to ask you, guys, 253 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: what do you think of these floating thoughts of he'll 254 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: just run again in I think he's alive. Yeah, I 255 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't think he wants to be 256 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: the president, and I think that he'll figure I think 257 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: he will figure out something in the next two years 258 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: that makes him feel like he is presenting himself like 259 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: a winner. He's going to have a news Yeah, yeah, 260 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: he'll do something and he's gonna call him to Fox 261 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: News every day, uh and talk about how Joe but 262 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: like it's all he's pretty angry with Fox News right 263 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: calling Arizona, which, by the way, Fox calling Arizona wild 264 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: so great but accurate and accurate. So apparently Nancy Pelosi 265 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: just said that we may have lost some battles, but 266 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: we want the war and who I say, shot the Yeah, 267 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: did a famously bad job. We won the war. We 268 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: won the war, girl, girl, We won a single battle 269 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: barely that barely by the skin of our teeth. And 270 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: you still don't have enough in fucking Congress, like guarantee 271 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: you can do anything besides not do the worst things 272 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: that Trump would have done. Oh yeah, I mean Nancy 273 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: Pelosi should no longer be the Speaker of the House. 274 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: I mean she shouldn't have been, which Katie, Katie, I 275 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: think this kind of transitions into what you were going 276 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: to discuss about progressives ruining everything. You're right, that would 277 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: be a really excellent transition to what we're talking about. 278 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: What we're going to do that after uh, this little 279 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: break that we're going to take Um, but don't worry. 280 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: We're gonna come back right after that that break, and 281 00:17:53,880 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: then we're gonna we're gonna talk about this well together everything. 282 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: So don't don't don't, and we are back as promised. Um, yes, Sophie, 283 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: that is a good transition to talking about whether or 284 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: not progressives or ruining everything. Yeah, yeah, gus, what do 285 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: you think we made? We made? We made Joe Biden 286 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: run on medicare for all, on the Green New Deal, 287 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: and he did and then he lost, right, Yeah, so 288 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: that's what happened there, you go. It's just it just 289 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: is another example of how terrible the Democratic Party is 290 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: and how disgusting they are. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna 291 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: set this up a little bit. Um. Uh if you 292 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: guys might might have seen this, but Rep. Span Burger, 293 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,239 Speaker 1: who barely won her re election I think Virginia uh 294 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: apparently said we lost races, we shouldn't have lost, defund 295 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: the police almost cost me my seat because of an attack. 296 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: Ad don't say socialism ever again. We need to get 297 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: back to basics. And this kind of set off a 298 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: whole bunch of conversation. Good luck and yes it is 299 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: uh and it's pretty wild um, predictable, predictable because yes, 300 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: this week we did we lost some recently one house 301 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: seats from red districts. We we lost some of those. 302 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: A Q and on person like you mentioned earlier, has 303 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 1: has one a race. But at the same time, a 304 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 1: bunch of moderate reps in swing states and established Democrats, 305 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: people that have been around of a long time lost 306 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: their seats to progressive challengers, and that conveniently gets less 307 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: left out of a lot of these these conversations, which 308 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: I think is interesting, and I think that that is 309 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: something that we should unpack a little bit. Um Like 310 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: to me, Obviously, I bet that defund the police and 311 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: attack acts and black lives matter, I bet that did 312 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:14,719 Speaker 1: prove to be challenging for people in traditionally read districts. Um. 313 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: But but that doesn't mean you abandon the issues. What 314 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: that means is that we talk about the issues differently. 315 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: We we put time into it instead of just trying 316 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: to ignore it, which is what they largely have done 317 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: this whole time. They haven't addressed this head on. Yeah, 318 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: it means you don't capitulate entirely to the right wing 319 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: narrative about that stuff and instead pushed back because they're 320 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: lying about a lot of things. You don't think we 321 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: should play their game by their rules on their field. 322 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: I think we saw how that worked in and interesting, interesting, 323 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: interesting about obvious things. I also think, like, yeah, I'm 324 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: sure that, um, you know, black Lives matter movement, and 325 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: just in general, the fact that there's been so much 326 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: protesting and riots this year cost some Democrats their seats 327 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: in certain districts. I also think there's a good reason 328 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: why so far the right wing street response to all 329 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: of this has been so limited. In scatter shot, I 330 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: think it's because they're fucking scared. Because forty million people 331 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: took to the streets, and I think, I mean, I think, 332 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: I think that I do think that Black lives matter 333 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: the whole thing this year did um it did the 334 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: opposite of that too. I think it did people. A 335 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: lot of people exactly people registered, and but nobody acknowledges that. Nobody, nobody, 336 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: Bamburger or whatever, the fund didn't acknowledge that. But I 337 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: think people and I think that's the kind of one 338 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: of the heartening things I think is that a lot 339 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: of this stuff that again very predictable. I've talked about it. 340 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: We knew, like Okay, they're gonna blame, gonna blame. These 341 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: people are gonna win. These people are not gonna really 342 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: consider anything because every single time they lose an election 343 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: when they run a moderate they're like, well, we'll do 344 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: it again, but more. Yeah. But a lot of people, um, 345 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: and not just in the past four years, but even 346 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: just like recently this year, have been um for back 347 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: of a lack of a better term, radicalized, um about 348 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: these kinds of things. And they see that and they're like, well, 349 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 1: that's bullshit, that's not that's obviously not true. Um. I 350 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: think that the people in these positions and these a 351 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: lot of these elected officials are gonna you know, not change, 352 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: and they're gonna keep thinking these things. But um, they're 353 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: the the pushback isn't going away because it's obviously bullshit. 354 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean in general, looking at how we 355 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: did this election, we obviously did badly. Um, we lost 356 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: some seats, you know, but we didn't take the Senate. 357 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: We didn't really. I mean we might we're going to 358 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: talk about that later. But if we end up miraculously 359 00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: tying the Senate, uh it, well, it won't be easy. 360 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: And so they they haven't they haven't done a good job. 361 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: They haven't done a good job communicating to why we 362 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: should appeal to middle class Americans, to people in the 363 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: Red States. You know, we've talked about the people. Well, 364 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: we've talked about this on the show a lot. Medicare 365 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: for all is actually a very popular thing that they 366 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: refuse to run on. And now minimum waged one in Florida. Yeah, yes, 367 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: well at the same time going for Trump. So that's 368 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: very interesting, isn't it? Um L a past measure J 369 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna fucked up my prop twenty two. I'll 370 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: repeat what I said I think I think I said 371 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: on this podcast earlier this week. It's one of these 372 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: two podcasts podcasts. It's actually very good and easy for 373 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: politicians who actually want to to communicate to the public 374 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: that good things are necessary and possible and that they 375 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: want to do them. And uh, more and more people 376 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: are saying this, uh and uh yeah, I think, yeah, 377 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: that is going to do it. I agree with you completely. Um, 378 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: but it is cool that now the composition of Democrats 379 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: in the House is going to be more progressive. Um. 380 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: They're going to have to start learning to work with 381 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: them more, or they'll fight at tooth and nail for 382 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: that good reason, you know. Oh yeah, there's a reason 383 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: should not be the speaker, Chuck Schumer's that should not 384 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: be Oh Schumer, Oh my god, man, I think I mean, 385 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: let's be fair here. Nancy needs to take on her 386 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: real role as the only street leader Antifoe will have 387 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: her have like we need her in the streets, kicking 388 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: indoors and and sarcastically cops in the face apparently not 389 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: actually being sarcastic like each other. I just do not 390 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: need any more of that. Um. Yeah, yeah, there'll be 391 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: a new speaker, but who knows who that will be. 392 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: I think it will be me. I think I got 393 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: a shot for it for your hat in the ring. 394 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: Um that AOC had a good tweet thread about this, 395 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: and listen to it really unpacking, unpacking. I'm not going 396 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: to read all about you guys. Should should look it up. 397 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: Just look it up because people people are saying. Also, 398 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: she correctly points out that the people that one Senate 399 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: races had really excellent digital campaigns, uh that the Democratic 400 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: Party kind of failed to rise to the occasion of 401 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: how to canvas and campaign during a pandemic. And it's 402 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: very clear if you look at who did what and 403 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: how it worked out. And I mentioned the Senate one 404 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: of the big abolishing it's abolish it no more Senate. 405 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: Obviously we all what really wanted to take back the Senate. Um, 406 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: and that has not happened because of all the things 407 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: that we just talked about. Um, unlikely, is unlikely. We 408 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: gotta count all the vote, but you gotta count all 409 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: You gotta stop all the votes and count the votes. Um. Sophie, Yeah, okay, showdy, 410 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: but it is exciting, uh to see what's happening in Georgia. 411 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 1: You know, hope is not completely Georgia all around. Georgia 412 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: all around really knocked it out of the park. Love love, 413 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: love to see it. Um, it's actually very exciting. I 414 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: mean it's exciting for a lot of reasons, but specifically 415 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: for me. Watching Georgia's returns and seeing David produce leads 416 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: slowly dwindling to below was so fun and satisfying. Um. 417 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: And so yeah, he fell below fIF which is sending 418 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: him into a runoff against Democrat John ass uf Um, 419 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: which is in addition to another Georgia Senate race that's 420 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: going to go to a runoff between Kelly Loffler and 421 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: Democrat Raphael Warnock. Uh so yeah, if we somehow managed 422 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: to pull that off, we would be tied and then 423 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris would be the tie breaking vote. Um, I 424 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: had to break it to you. But yeah, it's a 425 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: lunch time. Well no, it's just that, um I know that. Well, 426 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: it's just that the Republican majority or this fifty fifty 427 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: is a built in excuse for the Democrats to not 428 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: do anything. Yeah, they will use it to uh capitulate 429 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: before they have to. Is going to be the next 430 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: worst year ever? If every year that I mean every 431 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: year that also comes next might still be the worst year. Well, 432 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: that's why this podcast title will never change because it's 433 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: going to be true. It's just gonna be one health circle. Great, Yeah, 434 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: welcome to the Health Circle. That's it's gonna be our 435 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: answer to the pod Save Networker, whatever time circle, the 436 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: Health Circle. When is the runoff? Because I want to 437 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: know so that we can talk about January. We'll definitely 438 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: talk about it. Everybody's just all in. Who he's give 439 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: me thinking about you thought you could rest, you were wrong. 440 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: You get to anxiously await another election for several months. 441 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's another another election of our lifetimes coming 442 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: up in just a few months. I'm I'm I'm not 443 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: buying into that. I am going to uh, I'm going 444 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: to give me a lot less fox giving about elections 445 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: for the next little bit and focus on really just 446 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: just knuckling down and bullying the ship out of the 447 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: Democratic Party. And I mean, I mean just like really 448 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: heads in the toilet, you know, putting their hands in 449 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: a jar, a warm pace, so they p themselves, but 450 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: their hand also has p on it all the all 451 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: the classics. We are going to be best Cody. Um. Yeah, 452 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: that's the little pain I didn't like, where it's finally 453 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: you can finally criticize them and tell them to eat 454 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: ship and not be told that you love Donald Trump. 455 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: It's great. Feel it's like a whole world of possibility 456 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: in front of us here. U. I know it really does. Uh, 457 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: You're You're not wrong. I would think about that today, like, Okay, well, 458 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: if we happen to win these two seats, it'll be 459 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: infuriating to see how much they don't get done. Oh yeah, no, 460 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: it'll be bad. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's going to be terrible. 461 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: But I'm still gonna I'm still gonna try to get 462 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: as much of money and attention on that race anyway. Yeah, no, no, no, 463 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: it's it's it's good, it's important, and it's also good 464 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: that things are so fucking close there because it means 465 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: we have a chance of you know, flipping large chunks 466 00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: of the South which have languished under unbelievably this botic 467 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: Republican rule for quite a while. Unfortunately, the Democrats, because 468 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: again not super competent um, really botched it at the 469 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: state level races, which is going to mean that the 470 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: Republicans get to do more either redistricting or you know, 471 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: maintain if the districts are still advantageous, like they'll get 472 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: to keep sucking around mandering their Jerry's as they love 473 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: to do, because again, the Democratic Party has never had 474 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: ground game and has only ever been a giant fundraising 475 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: organization run on rage about the things the Republicans do.

A decently large group, this is Eric, 494 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: A decently large group of Q and On people think 495 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: that Trump is going to remain president because number one, 496 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: all the real ballots had a special watermark. Some say 497 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: it's the special radioactive isotopes. Some say it's just an 498 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: some ink marking, which is probably true anyways. Others say 499 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: it's some magical digital mark, etcetera. Democrats are too dumb 500 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: to know about this when they made fake ballots. Trump 501 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: is biting his time, letting the dims and media to 502 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: Claire Biden winner. This is part of the plan to 503 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: let everyone expose themselves. Que people keep saying that Trump 504 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: must lose to win. Using Scotus and some magical government actions, 505 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: all will become clear in a revelation style wave and 506 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: the entire Democratic leadership and media will be arrested and 507 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: executed for treason. Wow. Wow, Yeah, it's so good. It's 508 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: real fun, it's cool, it's I mean, it's it's terrifying 509 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: that because it's true. Um, yes, yes, yes, we didn't 510 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: know about the watermark until right now and actively packing 511 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: my bags for Bermuda. I remember now, I like, I 512 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: remember my balot note and now I see like there 513 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: was no right, there was no radioactive watermark. Oh no, no, 514 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: like actually it's good because we used the radioactive ones. 515 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: Oh man, And something else funny just happened. Rick Hasson 516 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: just pointed out he went through the fine print for 517 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: because Trump's soliciting donations now from his followers to um 518 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: to make a recount what happened and litigate things. And 519 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: it turns out that might be a little bit more 520 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: of a grift that it seems because it's more it does, 521 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: but the fine print notes that fifty of each donation 522 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: may be designated towards paying off the debts of the 523 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: general campaign account. Yes, yeah, oh my god, Oh yeah, 524 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: that's some good ship right there. To me. Yeah, my 525 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: fucking nipples are like diamonds right now. I mean, I gasped, tasty. 526 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: What a day for basking my good. Can we all 527 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: just say yeah r O f l O l um okay, gosh, 528 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: what else you guys want to talk about? I want 529 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: to talk about aocratic It is that that that that 530 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom will just get to pick Kamala Harris is 531 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: very good point. It's strange and that that person's name 532 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 1: Michael Bloomberg. Michael Bloomberg, Oh my god, I will lose. 533 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: I can't even say it all on but uh yeah, no, 534 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: it's just like weird to me that that's like a 535 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: thing that we do when if it was somebody who 536 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: was in Congress, there would be a special election. But 537 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: in this case, it's just like Newsome, who we know 538 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: doesn't have great taste in Yeah, he was married to Cambree. 539 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: Uh he was, he certainly was. I liked I I 540 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 1: she saw. This is from the New York Times article 541 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: about who he might pick um and and some of 542 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: the options among them. Attorney General Xavier Bekara, Secretary of 543 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: State Alex Padilla, popular Latinos and Newsome allies who have 544 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: both won statewide office. US Representatives Karen Bass of Los 545 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: Angeles and Barbara Lee of Oakland, who are black and 546 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: who are both considered as potential running mates for Biden, 547 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: also vying for a spot in the list. Popular female 548 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: office holders such as US Representative Katie Porter of Irvine 549 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: and State Senate President Tony Atkins. Grassroots progressives such as 550 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: US Representative Rocana of Silicon Valley. Um. And then it 551 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: goes on to say chief executives of diversities such as 552 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: Mayor Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles, Mayor London Lead of 553 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: San Francisco, etcetera, etcetera. Um, what a list? Okay? First 554 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: of all, Karen Bass supports scientology, So fun Karen Bass. Uh. 555 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: Second of all, at fuck Mary GARCTI, please, he should 556 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: never know that would be He's got to know bad 557 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: mayor would be an awful choice. I've seen, I've seen 558 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: a lot of support for him to uh not replace 559 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: with a white person, and I agree with that statement. Yeah, 560 00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:00,439 Speaker 1: probably not great, although Katie Porter AFO. Yeah, I think 561 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,320 Speaker 1: Barbara Lee could be cool for like a two year interm. 562 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: Katie pointed out to me that I actually did not 563 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: know because she does not look seventy four, but she is, 564 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: in fact seventy four years old. I think that the 565 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: two people I think of most would be Barbara Lee 566 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 1: or or Katie Porter. And I agree that it would 567 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: be best to get a person of color, but Katie 568 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 1: is also incredible. It would also be nice, uh, Like, 569 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: Barbara Lee is very She's the one, the one, the one, 570 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: the one person who voted against um the going like 571 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: giving the president all these powers to do all the wars. 572 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 1: I don't know. There's there's something very impressing about her 573 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: that one vote, and it would be nice to have 574 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: somebody like that. I wouldn't mind it. I don't I 575 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: don't want. I think we need a lot more younger 576 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: people in there. But Barbaraly, I don't disagree with that. 577 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: Either would be comfortable, but I mean it would just 578 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: there there would be no black women in the Senate. Yeah, 579 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: we had very few. Um, I mean, I forget the 580 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 1: exact number. How many black centers we've actually had um 581 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: in our entire history. Um, yeah, thing, I don't know 582 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: if the ages um age is a number. Uh you 583 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: know Pete Pete buddhaj Edge is seventy four years old, 584 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,760 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders is you know, like there's there's a difference 585 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: in in in just like the number of the age. 586 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: So I'm not necessarily completely against. I've also seen people say, yeah, 587 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,439 Speaker 1: but Katie Porter's district is hard to win La La County. Yeah, 588 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: I mean I think that's a consideration that she's popular there, 589 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: that that was a hard one district, for sure, that's 590 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 1: a consideration. Garcetti would be so freaking funny though. That's 591 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: like one of the funniest, the funniest results of that 592 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: entire situation. How it's like it's one of those utterly 593 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: predictable things, right, How is the short list? Is my question? 594 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 1: I I he probably isn't it. It's an article, I mean, 595 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 1: not sincerely being he was way down there. Um, it'll probably, 596 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: like you pointed out Sophie earlier, Um, uh be one 597 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,359 Speaker 1: of the people that he can replace with an appointment. Yeah, Um, 598 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think we said that I 599 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 1: don't think we said that on Mica. Oh no, we didn't. 600 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: I meant earlier to me, Uh, you go ahead. It 601 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: was just pointing out political was just pointing out that 602 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: he could uh the two top choices he has, which 603 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: is padilla and or whatever the general. So it's like 604 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: instead of him getting one, uh, instead of him being 605 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: king for a day, he'd be king for two days essentially. 606 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,800 Speaker 1: Um anyway, also, at any chance I gets, I just 607 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: want to point out that he does look like the 608 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 1: president from the show Scandal. I don't watch that show. 609 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't watch that show. What else 610 00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: you guys got some ship? Yeah? Republican Senator Pat Toomey 611 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 1: from Pennsylvania says he's seen no evidence the Democrats are 612 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: trying to steal the election and called the president statement disturbing. Yeah. 613 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 1: I love it. Uh a little notch up from concerned. 614 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Yeah, yeah, that is a nice jump 615 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: up from concerned. It's just been nice to watch the 616 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 1: ones that have abandoned him completely already, Like you've got 617 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,720 Speaker 1: guys who are hedging their bets still cruises heads because 618 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 1: he's a huge coward. Um And who's the other fucker, 619 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: Lindsay Graham, um Cotton. Yeah, they're all meshaw about it. Yeah, 620 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,240 Speaker 1: Crenshaw's being a weasel about it. Crinshaw's being a weasel 621 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: in a way that I think he knows. I think 622 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: he's accepted that Biden's one, but he also has accepted 623 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 1: that he rode to power on a wave of Trump is. Um, 624 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 1: he know he's one of the dangerous ones. Like he's 625 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: way smarter than a lot he's for I know he is. 626 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: He is distancing himself while being like still linked to it. 627 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,360 Speaker 1: It's very no, he's got a real shot at the 628 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: presidency one day. Um, I know, Katie, I think you 629 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 1: wanted to talk about how stupid polls are, right, Yeah, 630 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 1: we can talk about how bad the polling was, how 631 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 1: far off the polling was. Yeah, even in adjust the 632 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: polling is good. Well is it still no? You know, 633 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 1: it's one of those things. One of the things that's 634 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: very always very funny to be is how um Nate 635 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 1: Silver says so many things, so some of them are 636 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: always spot on. Because he wrote an art election like 637 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: he did before the last one, pointing out that like 638 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 1: you know, the if the election was like a standard 639 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: deviation away from the mean off, it would look like 640 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: more or less similar to how it looked broadly, uh, 641 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 1: and Biden would still win. And that's what happened. He also, 642 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: you know, made a bunch of predictions that looked very off, 643 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: which is always really funny because reading polls is basically 644 00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: you know, magic. It's yeah, it's just it's magic guessing. 645 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: Um yeah, uh like yeah, and we've talked about this before, 646 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,320 Speaker 1: like yeah, they give him ten percent chance, but he 647 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: still wants like, yeah, that was the ten percent chance 648 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 1: and happened, like and yeah, that's how it works. Yeah. 649 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,760 Speaker 1: So there's this pulling, this pulling air um that seemed 650 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,720 Speaker 1: to be uh, causing a lot of these problems. Um, 651 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 1: it's a similar way that they they pull for like 652 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,279 Speaker 1: approval rating. So is Donald Trump's approval rating been been 653 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: much higher all this time? Right then? Then we've thought 654 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,839 Speaker 1: it was I mean absolutely, like not absolutely, I don't know, 655 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: but it's absolutely something to think about. Have we just 656 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: totally been missing the market? I mean that we have. 657 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 1: I don't know about that because okay, let's let's say 658 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: like his approval rating. If you're looking at like I 659 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: don't know, like most of the aggregators, like we'll talk 660 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 1: about five thirty eight again, UM has had him in 661 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: like the low forties. Yeah, so we're looking at like, 662 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: don't know, sixty nine million votes for Trump right now 663 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: might be around like seventy when the whole the whole 664 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: kitten caboodle gets counted. Uh so that's what like a 665 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: fifth of the total national population. But I don't know 666 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,800 Speaker 1: how many like our adults or whatever, but like whatever, 667 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 1: Like it seems that seems broadly consistent with saying like 668 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: forty some percent of Americans support the president, but they 669 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 1: didn't all vote or couldn't all vote, Like I don't know, 670 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem wildly off in terms of like his 671 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:33,760 Speaker 1: national popularity. I'm not a math doer. Um Biden's ahead 672 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 1: by I don't know, for some point something million in 673 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,359 Speaker 1: terms of votes, which is about you know, and it 674 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,279 Speaker 1: was looking at like, yeah, fifty forty two something like that, 675 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: Like that seems doesn't seem like if they were if 676 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,759 Speaker 1: the if his overall popularity was misjudged, it doesn't seem 677 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 1: like it was by like a like a staggering amount. Yeah. Again, 678 00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: not a math doer. So if you guys are math 679 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,760 Speaker 1: door chime in and let us know if Robert's writing 680 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: of math right now, so we can hear you. Yeah, 681 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 1: speaking of math doers. Uh. It's so many times on 682 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 1: on these news channels have they shown pour out in 683 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: the field, reporters trying to do not being able to 684 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 1: do math, and it's been you know, it's really light 685 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: in the mood for me. My favorite things. Um it's 686 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 1: great as somebody who cannot do math.

The board does something different, 691 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: like there's been several times, or Steve he's like, oh okay, 692 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 1: well you should just all pretend like you're not seeing 693 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 1: this because this can't possibly be right and like or 694 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 1: like drawing on it and it's not working all of it. 695 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 1: Love it, love it.
