Speaker 1: feeling good. You know, we've been we've been doing really
Speaker 1: good over here in the the black fat film world
Speaker 1: as well as in my own life and world. Things
Speaker 1: have been all right. So everything's good. Beautify, it's a
Speaker 1: beaut thing. What's it like? You know? I know what
Speaker 1: what kind of what kind of pitches you got going
Speaker 1: right now? What kind of pitches? You know? So I
Speaker 1: said this last time I was on the show, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it again. Hire me, you know, I
Speaker 1: am I. There have been some really cool things that
Speaker 1: have have been moving. I have something that's actually getting
Speaker 1: ready to come up that I can announce right now.
Speaker 1: You know, NBA's is something else. When you live in
Speaker 1: a world love, you know, they tell you this great
Speaker 1: thing happened, but you gotta shut your mouth about it.
Speaker 1: You're like, no, forever, forever, forever. Let me ask you something,
Speaker 1: Doctor John. Can I cannot call you doctor John? You
Speaker 1: sure can do. Let's be real. Let's be real when
Speaker 1: we have NDA's, because you know, we are familiar with
Speaker 1: NDAs on average? How many people you break that in
Speaker 1: DA for? I break the NDA for the people that's
Speaker 1: in my immediate circle. Obviously my husband's gonna know about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because again it's real hard to do anything without my
Speaker 1: husband being like, what's happening. So usually now you've been
Speaker 1: going for a week, right, what are you doing? Who
Speaker 1: are you doing? Right? You gotta break the NDA for
Speaker 1: your family. Usually my mom WAI will know. My mom
Speaker 1: will be the second or third person I call outside
Speaker 1: of my manager. But you know, when it's are coming
Speaker 1: down to friends, I have friends who are like, oh god,
Speaker 1: what are you up to? I'm like, I'm not telling
Speaker 1: you nothing because you can't need to keep a secret.
Speaker 1: So no, and let's be clear, and let's be clear,
Speaker 1: this is hypothetical. You haven't broke any indy, you haven't
Speaker 1: even tell no for anybody who listening, yes is a hypothetical.
Speaker 1: This is actually this is an improv comedy scene. We
Speaker 1: just yeah that was the one suggestion was Na, that's all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's but you know overall that that's been, that's been
Speaker 1: a part of the world. And then you know, I
Speaker 1: want some awards for script recently actually placed finalists with
Speaker 1: Series Fast. You know, I've gotten awards with Crown and
Speaker 1: Seen Play and also the Santa Barbara. There are a
Speaker 1: few other ones that I'm waiting to come through to
Speaker 1: see if I want or not. But it's really cool
Speaker 1: just to see people actually paying attention to the shit
Speaker 1: I you know that I have to say, and I right,
Speaker 1: So it's really cool. Part of me was like I
Speaker 1: made a mistake asking them what was going on? What
Speaker 1: the fun I got going on? No, No, I'm good,
Speaker 1: We're not starting this episode off too. I go like, man,
Speaker 1: I'm down on myself. And then the two right, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: you know how you know how the Melonati folks do,
Speaker 1: will we'd be like mash and I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: be like you. That's always trying to be like you.
Speaker 1: Bro all trying to be like each other. And what
Speaker 1: better three people to try and be like than us.
Speaker 1: Right now, Nick, gotta ask you as a guest on
Speaker 1: this show, what is something from your search history. That's
Speaker 1: revealing something about who you are, what you're into right now.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, you know what. The first thing that came
Speaker 1: to mind was that, do you know you can't drive
Speaker 1: from you know you can't drive? You know you can't
Speaker 1: drive not I've been watching it, buddy. You gotta use
Speaker 1: your turns and you get a license to turn, to
Speaker 1: use your hands and they're not all teslas. It has
Speaker 1: to say tesla on it for you was his hands free,
Speaker 1: let go and let elon, Let go and let elon.
Speaker 1: That's what I would say. That's funny. It's a video
Speaker 1: of like here's somebody slipping. I'll drive and here's the
Speaker 1: worst part. It was a ford Field stuff. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: you can't drive from North America down to Argentina. I
Speaker 1: just found this out and I was looking at my
Speaker 1: search history, said that was a thing I just looked up.
Speaker 1: There's a there is a region at like the smallest
Speaker 1: skinniest part that connects like I think maybe like Columbia
Speaker 1: to Ecuador maybe, and there's just no road there. I
Speaker 1: think there's something called the Interstate of America. Is that
Speaker 1: just kind of stops and it gets too hilly and
Speaker 1: too junglely and everything. I was just like I never
Speaker 1: I never knew that. I just assumed you could drive everywhere, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I know people that have driven like all the
Speaker 1: way up here from like Central America and things like that,
Speaker 1: and I can. But you're saying that there there just
Speaker 1: comes a point where you're like a man, like what
Speaker 1: would you do, Like there's just no travel at that point,
Speaker 1: Like I guess there has to be a fairy situation.
Speaker 1: I would assume, but it's there's no road anymore. Like no,
Speaker 1: they were because I was watching some video of like
Speaker 1: some of the Migraine and you know, like that come
Speaker 1: from deep South America, and they say that when they
Speaker 1: get to that point, there's no road for them to
Speaker 1: even like walk alongside. They have to carry all their
Speaker 1: crap across like these rivers and these hills, and it's
Speaker 1: just like this really dangerous. It's too dangerous for workers
Speaker 1: to even work there because they get you know, bitten
Speaker 1: with mosquitoes and the heat and then just like dangerous
Speaker 1: for them. So everyone just like I don't know, figure
Speaker 1: it out, fly down there. Maybe they don't want to
Speaker 1: connect with each other. There's some probably there's some states
Speaker 1: in our in America that probably would rather if Florida
Speaker 1: couldn't connect to them, you know, like but no knock
Speaker 1: on Orlando, Okay, but you know, I just thought that
Speaker 1: was interesting, and then I don't know what, for some reason,
Speaker 1: the first thing that pops into my head is just
Speaker 1: like someday someone's gonna tell me they drove all the
Speaker 1: way down to Argentina. I'm gonna be able to call
Speaker 1: them out on it. I don't know why that's the
Speaker 1: all my information I get is to call somebody out
Speaker 1: on it that wait wait, so wait, yeah, what was
Speaker 1: the like your mental path to be like hold on
Speaker 1: either to the bottom of this, Like I've been trying
Speaker 1: to forget what's going on with South America for a while.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I kind of don't know why we
Speaker 1: don't help them out more as much as we help,
Speaker 1: like other countries help. Yeah, we helped ourselves to like them,
Speaker 1: but yeah, we helped ourselves to like fruit, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, where like Dole came in like you
Speaker 1: need help, yeah, and that we'll like we'll fuck up
Speaker 1: anybody who's talking about sharing the profits of your Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean it even goes like I mean
Speaker 1: it's that it's even like even even earlier than that,
Speaker 1: they just like Europeans came in and just like just
Speaker 1: stole all their wealth and and tore down They're like,
Speaker 1: you know there's structures of you know, these like massive civilizations. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's just they've been kind of like screwed ever since.
Speaker 1: And I'm just sort of, you know, it just feels
Speaker 1: like these people down there's a lot of people down
Speaker 1: there that need help. That's why they're like, you know,
Speaker 1: taking That's where they're taking the chance across these like
Speaker 1: places with no roads that that that nobody wants to.
Speaker 1: Civilizition doesn't want to go to. And it's like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I've just been kind of fascinated that I
Speaker 1: don't hear this discussed more about, well how it got
Speaker 1: to be to that point. It's, well, it's the same
Speaker 1: way why a lot of people don't want kids learning
Speaker 1: about the civil rights movement and things like that. It's
Speaker 1: like if they knew what we fucking did, they'd be
Speaker 1: like that fucked up nightmare. So better than some money,
Speaker 1: do you racialize the Rosa Park story for God's sake
Speaker 1: so the kids figure it out, which is their solution
Speaker 1: much in the same way. Like for all this hand
Speaker 1: ringing about MS thirteen, it's like, why don't you read
Speaker 1: a fucking article about the US interventions in El Salvador
Speaker 1: and you'll understand that we're the reason there's MS thirteen
Speaker 1: And they're like, whoa, the boomerang has come back. But hey,
Speaker 1: that's for another show. Check out Behind the Bastards, where
Speaker 1: you know Robert will be talking about all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. It's a great episode of money. Yeah are
Speaker 1: you did you do one of them? Yeah? Yeah, we
Speaker 1: talked about US militarization in Central America War two. Great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: google School of the Americas and you'll realize we had
Speaker 1: a really cool way to train people up on being like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, y'all want to learn how to murder people
Speaker 1: that are like we should share the money? Yeah, have
Speaker 1: a TV. Yeah, they're like they're fucking socialist, man. This
Speaker 1: is how we're fighting the Cold War with this shiit.
Speaker 1: What's something that you think is overrated? Overrated? Um, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with Golden Retrievers. I was just I was
Speaker 1: just in uh Idle Wild. Huh Idle Wild is a
Speaker 1: place that um, I guess because it's like an unincorporated
Speaker 1: like city or whatever. Anyway, their mayor is a golden retriever.
Speaker 1: It's one of the really up up of the mountains. Yeah,
Speaker 1: mountain town heard about this a long time again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: mayor Max, who is extremely cute, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: Had nothing to do with his cuteness. Yeah yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean he's a cropt politician and of course yeah exactly
Speaker 1: is a capitalist. Yeah yeah, yeah, even more than any
Speaker 1: It's not so much that they're they're corrupt, it's that
Speaker 1: the price is so low for like for some milk bones.
Speaker 1: You can fuck in your chain, exactly. Police presence on
Speaker 1: your street, it's a nightmare. Um No, it's just that.
Speaker 1: Like so, but ittlewhild is like one of those like
Speaker 1: mountain towns. There's like, you know, cabins and fucking you
Speaker 1: know whatever, like like wine stores and maybe not I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't ski, but probably not skiing, actually,
Speaker 1: I don't think. It's just one of those like you
Speaker 1: can go fucking hang out. The local economy seems to
Speaker 1: mostly be based on people doing mushrooms, because like every
Speaker 1: other shot has like mushrooms on the t shirts that
Speaker 1: they sell, like on the doorway. It's like, yeah, like
Speaker 1: ask me about my friend is still like a lot
Speaker 1: of mushrooms. So it was really fun. But one of
Speaker 1: the things they have is that like I guess two pm,
Speaker 1: presumably every day, maybe just every weekend. I don't really know. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Probably during the week he's hard at work,
Speaker 1: you know, growing out legislation for the good people of Idlewild.
Speaker 1: You can go meet you can wait in line and
Speaker 1: meet mayor Max. However, idle Wild is one of those
Speaker 1: towns because it's again like kind of a hippie dish
Speaker 1: mountain town. There are dogs fucking everywhere and who you know,
Speaker 1: just like people, people just everyone has their like cute
Speaker 1: ass dogs. It's wonderful, right, and like the idea like
Speaker 1: people waiting in line to see Golden Retrievers when there
Speaker 1: are literally like dozens of cute dogs everywhere you look
Speaker 1: is some shit that is like fucking ridiculous. Wait, so
Speaker 1: are the dogs just roaming free? Like you know, like
Speaker 1: you're in like Kingston or something like what are we
Speaker 1: talking about? People have dogs out? Yeah, Yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: it's it's a cute. Literally, I took it literally, like, wait,
Speaker 1: there's just dogs fucking everywhere. No no, no, no, no no, sorry.
Speaker 1: But what what I mean is there's just like, right
Speaker 1: flavor of cute dog of any size is everywhere, and
Speaker 1: so the idea that like a golden Retriever, let's be
Speaker 1: let's be honest. They kind of like, you know, the
Speaker 1: sis white Man. Yeah, it's like the boringest acis dog
Speaker 1: no offense to mayor Max who wow? You know, I like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the deference you've paid to the office of mayor. But yes, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm just saying, My Chihuahua is just
Speaker 1: going to beat the beat the brakes off mayor meat
Speaker 1: from November. And this is this is my opportunity to god,
Speaker 1: can we run your Oh my god, this is another
Speaker 1: Can we run an insurgent campaign to get your dog
Speaker 1: to be the mayor dal You know what I think
Speaker 1: the key is to get my dog to be the
Speaker 1: DA of Ottawhile the takedown maya Wow, wow, wow, wow,
Speaker 1: power building power I have. I look all the time
Speaker 1: at my old tool set of lobbyist muckraking and fuckery
Speaker 1: tools and how they're going dull. So I'm like, please
Speaker 1: give me something I can bring this motherfucker Max down
Speaker 1: with one print ad, one robot call and if we
Speaker 1: have budget a thirty second video spot we could. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And this day of of you know, digital marketing. I
Speaker 1: just think there's so many, so many viral options. I
Speaker 1: think a ground swell. Yeah, we exploit AI where they're like, wow,
Speaker 1: Mayor Max is dressed as a fucking Nazi okay in
Speaker 1: his off time, and he's anti mushroom Okay. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: lot of German shepherds and Mayor Max's history. What's up
Speaker 1: with that? What's what's up? I don't know. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying it's interesting. It's an interesting choice. I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: made that choice. Yeah, personally if these dogs could talk,
Speaker 1: so yeah, fuck not fuck Olden Retrievers, but overrate I
Speaker 1: think we can agree overrate. Yeah, the Golden Retriever was
Speaker 1: like the dog of the eighties and nineties. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Everyone fucking hounds like the gold standard.
Speaker 1: I remember, like in class before I had a dog,
Speaker 1: and people are like, and I have a Golden Retriever,
Speaker 1: and heads like I have a Golden Retriever. I have
Speaker 1: a Golden Retriever And I was like, what the fuck
Speaker 1: is this? Yeah, hugenic shit man. We had a town
Speaker 1: that has all these like Golden Retrievers. Something's up. Well,
Speaker 1: it's a Golden Retriever to resident ratio. That's what we
Speaker 1: need to know. You know, Golden retriever specifically very small
Speaker 1: because they're the ruling class. It's like the one percent.
Speaker 1: Mayor Max is the one percent. Wow, I saw the
Speaker 1: cutest thing. I saw a very fat I'm some kind
Speaker 1: of mud, but it looked like Chihuaha size book like
Speaker 1: curly poodle haraple, with like no fur on its tail
Speaker 1: at all, like a little rat tail sticking out. It was.
Speaker 1: It looked like it looked like a Wallace and Groment cheep. Right.
Speaker 1: It was like the cretest thing I've ever seen. And
Speaker 1: he was just rooting around in the snow bank while
Speaker 1: Mayor Max was getting cat and photo ops, and I
Speaker 1: was like, this is something's up? Then have you seen
Speaker 1: Do you know who Mayor Max's father is? That Labrador retriever? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he likes it, he likes he likes the hide where
Speaker 1: he comes from, Mayor Max. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: His father's brown. What is something you think is underrated? Artist?
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for asking. I feel like being
Speaker 1: a good party host is underrated, Like there's it. I
Speaker 1: take throwing a party SERI. I'll say this before you
Speaker 1: before you go, I will I will underscore underlying cloth sign.
Speaker 1: I think anybody who has been to Arden's house for
Speaker 1: a party will say, yeah, you don't fuck around when
Speaker 1: you when you host a party. So I will give
Speaker 1: you that on it right now. I say yes, I
Speaker 1: agree with wherever you're going. I just want to let
Speaker 1: the audience slow. This is not a lie. I throw
Speaker 1: a kick gass party. M she does. I throw one
Speaker 1: a year. Here's the thing. I actually had a therapist
Speaker 1: back in the day who helped me. She was like, look, bitch,
Speaker 1: nobody at the end of the day. You got to
Speaker 1: be a relaxed host. So the second the first guest
Speaker 1: shows up, you're done. And you've got to be a
Speaker 1: guest at your own party and just trust that people
Speaker 1: are adults and that so I literally, I also don't
Speaker 1: believe to me, I don't. I'm not a bartender gal.
Speaker 1: I like an elegant, elevated house party. I put out
Speaker 1: all the alcohol anybody could want. So whether you're sober
Speaker 1: and trying to hide that you're sober, you mean you
Speaker 1: want to make a little like at like you know,
Speaker 1: a little sults or water with some bitters or whatever.
Speaker 1: Or if you're like I'm gonna drink all of the
Speaker 1: alcohol in most ailing, I don't care, but I don't
Speaker 1: give a shit building you. Yeah, and then you have
Speaker 1: some great tacos that'll always you gotta have a great snack.
Speaker 1: Oh guisados. Yeah, let's not be let's not funk around.
Speaker 1: I know. I'm like, man, I'm here for the guisatos guisados.
Speaker 1: Then I also have to say, it's got to look gorgeous.
Speaker 1: And again it can even just be from Trader Joe's flowers.
Speaker 1: Most of my flowers, like make it look beautiful. Hide
Speaker 1: anything you don't want stolen or broken. You hide it,
Speaker 1: and then after that break or steal whatever you want
Speaker 1: in my house. I can't. I don't care. If okay, good,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll be like, okay, if it's not hidden,
Speaker 1: don't care. Literally happen. You got a nice TV already,
Speaker 1: nice TV. I literally don't give a shit. Take it
Speaker 1: if it's nuts, if it's nut, walked away with the cats.
Speaker 1: Take I don't give a shit. There you need a
Speaker 1: little area, so like we got some shy guys, they
Speaker 1: can go. Like I put a little smoker section outside.
Speaker 1: I like, I will leave like cigarette, don't give a
Speaker 1: shit who wants to smoke everything. Don't judge them through
Speaker 1: in the smoke section, you know. And then I hire
Speaker 1: a DJ and I clear out my living room. And
Speaker 1: you don't have to do this. There's different things to find.
Speaker 1: You gotta everybody needs an activity. But also let the
Speaker 1: shy people go hide in the corner if they want,
Speaker 1: Like if your guests alone, they're adults, they can do
Speaker 1: whatever they want and just let them have at it.
Speaker 1: And like I always say an end time, even though
Speaker 1: it's not really and end time, but I say it
Speaker 1: to make people actually feel like they gotta come, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's like, okay, it ends, really
Speaker 1: ends it like too, I say like seven to eleven,
Speaker 1: so that people actually show up by l ten thirty
Speaker 1: right right, right, let go. I love these tips. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as someone who had a wedding in the last year,
Speaker 1: that was the best advice I got because I'm very
Speaker 1: much like a people pleaser type personality, and they were
Speaker 1: like I was like, man, I'm so fucking stress. And
Speaker 1: I remember, like my cousin in law whatever was like, man,
Speaker 1: you gotta like you can need to be a guest
Speaker 1: at this ship. Don't be like you need to stop
Speaker 1: being a host. You need to be a guest right now.
Speaker 1: And that little sentence completely flip the switch in my
Speaker 1: brain and I was basically out of my wedding suit
Speaker 1: and in a you know, shorts in a jersey within
Speaker 1: ten minutes. Because I love it. Because it's also like
Speaker 1: if you're so worried about because I get so anxious
Speaker 1: if somebody doesn't know someone, like are they going to
Speaker 1: be okay? And just trusting that Like they're adults, they've
Speaker 1: all been to parties. There's enough little things that they
Speaker 1: can keep up moving and like, you know, I tryed
Speaker 1: to have assholes on my life, so like anybody they
Speaker 1: talk to is gonna be fun and cool. Absolutely. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know you're taking care of love Mardon Marine's house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's my underrated thing. I love a party. You don't
Speaker 1: have to do it a lot, but like just leave
Speaker 1: your guests alone. And also you know it's going late
Speaker 1: because she is a motherfucking night owl. Thank you for Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, I also leave flowers for all my
Speaker 1: neighbors in a note, and I warn them in advance
Speaker 1: it's gonna be loud, and I kind of free, I
Speaker 1: sort of I did. I'm like, I don't leave my
Speaker 1: number for them to like text me to shut it up,
Speaker 1: but I leave them like a again just Trader Joe's like, Roses,
Speaker 1: it's six bucks. Yeah, I like, hey, but here, yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: ri ip to your sense of inquility, but your other
Speaker 1: flowers just so you know, please don't bother me. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back
Speaker 1: to talk about some news right after this, and we're
Speaker 1: back Trump anxiety, thirty four counts, world excited. Now. We
Speaker 1: don't know if it's exactly thirty four counts. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's been unsealed, but that's what sources who know
Speaker 1: have been leaking that number. That is three four counts
Speaker 1: right now. And the day has finally come, the one
Speaker 1: that apparently, like Trump thought would never come. But hey,
Speaker 1: here we are. So this is in connection, This is
Speaker 1: in New York, This in connection with the Stormy Daniels
Speaker 1: hush money case. And you should be noted this is
Speaker 1: by far the weakest case against Trump right now in
Speaker 1: terms of like the severity of charges and how defensable
Speaker 1: the charges are. So before you start, you know, popping
Speaker 1: off and shit like that, just know this isn't done
Speaker 1: and dusted. So I'm gonna go ahead and say this,
Speaker 1: this won't be the thing that puts Trump in jail,
Speaker 1: if at all. And I only say that because I'm
Speaker 1: only looking at the strength of history behind it, where
Speaker 1: keep criminalized presidents just don't fucking criminal. Powerful people just
Speaker 1: do not typically see justice. But there's also something I
Speaker 1: was hearing from some like legal people were saying that
Speaker 1: because he has a lifelong Secret Service protection from being
Speaker 1: a former president, that that could complicate like the form
Speaker 1: of confinement that he would have to go under. So
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't know if like he's gonna have
Speaker 1: secret Service with him like in the yard, like in
Speaker 1: the pen or anything like that, or if it's something
Speaker 1: like they said, more likely to be like house arrest
Speaker 1: and like the Secret Service acts as his you know,
Speaker 1: jailers or whatever. Anyone's like white house arrest could yeah,
Speaker 1: oh I know, I know. So he look he's doing ah,
Speaker 1: you know, he's right now, He's just he's standing by
Speaker 1: and stand standing back. But again we will see what
Speaker 1: happens in that very specific way. However, it is good
Speaker 1: to see that we are seeing an actual fucking indictment
Speaker 1: because this is a first. But I'll tell you this.
Speaker 1: What will happen is this dude is gonna be arraigned
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, assuming that he doesn't, you know, become a fugitive,
Speaker 1: which it sounds like his lawyer said, he's willing to
Speaker 1: turn himself in, and that's probably the better way to go,
Speaker 1: unless you're trying to you really think this is a
Speaker 1: wild West shit. But I don't feel like he can
Speaker 1: run that fast, you know what I mean. No, but
Speaker 1: he'll be the thing is that come and get me
Speaker 1: and Maga Smurfs assemble and fight the Feds, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: and then when only like fifteen people show up, he's
Speaker 1: been like a fuck. But anyway, he is getting arraigned.
Speaker 1: He is gonna have to go in front of a
Speaker 1: judge like a fucking normy, and then he's gonna have
Speaker 1: his prince taken. He's gonna have his little mug shot
Speaker 1: take in just like a loser, normal ass citizen would
Speaker 1: rather than, you know, Orange god boy. So let's talk
Speaker 1: about the reactions to the indictment, since that's the one
Speaker 1: thing we can actually look at and talk about. Yes, wait,
Speaker 1: can I say before we get into this, what you
Speaker 1: were talking about, how like he is unlikely to actually
Speaker 1: like go to prison off of this. There's a tweet
Speaker 1: from twenty sixteen October first from at Bronze Hammer that
Speaker 1: was like that's been being reposted a lot right now.
Speaker 1: That's like, well, I'd like to see old Donnie Trump
Speaker 1: wriggle his way out of this jam. Trump wriggles his
Speaker 1: way out of the jam easily. Ah well, nevertheless, that's
Speaker 1: what it feels like like it's gonna happen. It's like
Speaker 1: he's gonna find some way even like house arrest. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be in like what a mansion, you know? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know exactly. And we'll see even
Speaker 1: you know, his lawyers right now, and Joe Tacopina is like, oh,
Speaker 1: these are like they're trying to enforce federal election laws
Speaker 1: in a New York you know, in a New York
Speaker 1: court and blah blah blah. And so we'll see what
Speaker 1: the defense looks like. But I'd imagine that they feel
Speaker 1: like they have some kind of case and clearly the
Speaker 1: jury felt there was enough there to indict him, So
Speaker 1: we'll go from there. And I think keep in mind too,
Speaker 1: for all the talk of like this is overblown or whatever,
Speaker 1: Michael and his ass went to jail in connection with
Speaker 1: all this shit this is about. So they determined that
Speaker 1: his actions were illegal in that case. And if Trump
Speaker 1: was the one giving the orders, and how the fuck
Speaker 1: you're gonna act like anyway, I'm sure he'll find a way.
Speaker 1: This is like OJ being caught for the Jerseys, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, We're gonna get him on something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like when he kidn or like the guy who had
Speaker 1: his heisman, didn't he like trying to kidnap that guy
Speaker 1: or something? Where is that the Jerseys thing? Now? He
Speaker 1: was trying to steal his like his merch back basically
Speaker 1: in Vegas from this dude's hotel. So and you know,
Speaker 1: to that, to that point, a lot of the people
Speaker 1: in Trump's camp are saying, like this trial has to
Speaker 1: be OJ on steroids. I think was the phrase that
Speaker 1: was used to try and create as much of a
Speaker 1: spectacle as possible. Oh yeah, So first up, Trump was
Speaker 1: apparently caught the fuck off guard by this, like he
Speaker 1: thought it would take weeks for something like this to happen,
Speaker 1: or didn't even think it might even happen at all,
Speaker 1: because you know, viledged ass motherfucker. So once that sort
Speaker 1: of you know, the shock subsided and someone gave him
Speaker 1: a few loose Big Max, he basically hopped on the
Speaker 1: phone and began his quote unquote defense, which is to
Speaker 1: basically attack and degrade Alvin Bragg and you know, just
Speaker 1: the rule of law in general. There is just something
Speaker 1: they love to evoke so much. So first I want
Speaker 1: to play this. This is just a little bit of schadenfreude.
Speaker 1: This is Fox News the second they announced that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump was indicted. And just listen closely because you can
Speaker 1: hear the fucking the gasps. This is so amazing. Huh.
Speaker 1: This is Fox News announcing that Donald This is like
Speaker 1: the break the moment they break news to tell you
Speaker 1: that he's been indicted. Here, we have just gotten word.
Speaker 1: Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by a grand
Speaker 1: jury in New York. Trump was under investigation by one
Speaker 1: more time, we have just gotten word former President Donald
Speaker 1: Trump has been indicted by a grand jurk. That is
Speaker 1: so funny, y'all, dumb motherfucker's really never no, really, he's
Speaker 1: been held to account. Okay, so we had that. That's
Speaker 1: how they started things. Soon after, Jesse Waters said that
Speaker 1: this indictment was a quote disgrace, adding that quote no
Speaker 1: one wanted this, not even the left wanted this. Bitch,
Speaker 1: who are you talking to on the left. He's like,
Speaker 1: there for abolition, which I also support, Yeah, in this
Speaker 1: very narrow context for him, but yeah, this is again
Speaker 1: like this. So we started, like, first, I think it's
Speaker 1: funny to watch the pundits try and figure out what,
Speaker 1: like the line they were supposed to tell was, because first,
Speaker 1: just like, this is unbelievable, and then they started coalescing
Speaker 1: around sort of this more consistent theme, which we'll get to.
Speaker 1: But he also was like, he's like, this is actually
Speaker 1: gonna help Trump and so like their Democrats, the Democrats
Speaker 1: actually did this because they think it's eat like it'll
Speaker 1: make him easier to beat or whatever. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the fuck they're talking about, but there's some real
Speaker 1: mind twisting going on. Greg Gutfeld, who has one of
Speaker 1: the top shows in late night, the Median Extraordinary. Greg Gutfeld,
Speaker 1: who was still constantly looking for writers in case anyone
Speaker 1: on this team wants to submit for his show. Oh really,
Speaker 1: it's always bombing up on like writing opportunities, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I could get such a bag. Well, you know what's funny,
Speaker 1: his writer's room is fucking up because there were six
Speaker 1: hours in between when the indictment was announced and when
Speaker 1: he went to air and he didn't have anything on it.
Speaker 1: They just went like their main story was whatever the
Speaker 1: fuck they had already pre written, was pro sports teams
Speaker 1: having like like Pride nights and the like at the venues.
Speaker 1: You're like Jurassic Park. They're like, if we don't look
Speaker 1: it in the eyes, it's not happening. You know. I
Speaker 1: think that. I don't know if they're yeah, or they're
Speaker 1: just like they're just not nimble writers, Like what do
Speaker 1: we do? What do we say? It's bad? Right? But
Speaker 1: Gutfeld just kind of went on the only thing he said,
Speaker 1: He's like, this is actually really good for Trump, you know,
Speaker 1: because like it basically guarantees his nomination and his mug
Speaker 1: shot is going to probably be a campaign poster. Oh
Speaker 1: that's true, you know I could see that happening. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But I'm saying at this point, I guess. I mean
Speaker 1: you have to Actually, you're gonna have to steal the election,
Speaker 1: you know, pretty hardcore if your whole thing is like,
Speaker 1: we're only going to appeal to people who think that
Speaker 1: certain people are above the law in the context of
Speaker 1: like your political allegiances. But I'm sure it'll circle back
Speaker 1: to something because the economy's tight, and he'll find some
Speaker 1: kind of fake populist message to act like. He's like,
Speaker 1: this actually makes me the most like man of the
Speaker 1: people candidate fucking ever. I actually heard his new campaign
Speaker 1: manager is the Hamburglers, So he's leaning hard into the
Speaker 1: criminal aspect of it, and the fucking and the two
Speaker 1: dudes from the Cookie Crisp Was it Cookie Crisp also
Speaker 1: like Burglar Asses? I think? So, I'm trying to remember, okay,
Speaker 1: because what was the one that had like two like
Speaker 1: English cops or whatever. I'm completely fucking misremembering all this anyway,
Speaker 1: zeking right in what what cereal am? I'm trying to
Speaker 1: remember when it was like those two like bobbies that
Speaker 1: were the loco um Tucker Carlson. Meanwhile, he said this
Speaker 1: could be the start of the perge. He's like, the
Speaker 1: rule of law appears to be suspended tonight, not just
Speaker 1: for Trump, but for anyone who would consider voting for him.
Speaker 1: This is what it seems to be. It is a
Speaker 1: political purge that sounds like if Tucker Carlson and Ben
Speaker 1: Shapierra had a baby, that's like what you decided. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, I mean Ben is like, well, this is
Speaker 1: this is absolutely this is absolutely ridiculous. If you have
Speaker 1: you actually, this should never be happening. And in a
Speaker 1: country that where that we're supposedly the leaders in democracy,
Speaker 1: we're not going to really be sitting an example for
Speaker 1: the other nations like Russia and China that are basically
Speaker 1: going to make a mockery of everything that's happening here
Speaker 1: that sar and my pussy is dry. I'm sorry, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's dap. Yeah, I turned it. I turned the lap
Speaker 1: to DAP on that, but dap it up one time,
Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro oppression. And then so do you know who
Speaker 1: fucking Tucker Carlson had on as his guest for this
Speaker 1: monumental occasion to talk about it. Fucking Adam Corolla. Bro,
Speaker 1: I can't, I cannot. These days I've got shows with him,
Speaker 1: it makes sense. Yeah, yeah, he still performs at some
Speaker 1: clubs that I perform at. Wow. Yeah, it's when I
Speaker 1: saw said I was like, yeah, this makes sense. Yeah
Speaker 1: it was. It made a Kimmel and it made a Corolla. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just love how that literally caused like a split
Speaker 1: and Kimmel went left, he goes right, and here we are.
Speaker 1: But Adam Carolla he was saying again, he's like, this
Speaker 1: is all political theater, you know, just to bait more
Speaker 1: Trump supporters into protesting so they can be arrested. So
Speaker 1: he's claimed a honeypot operation to get more people caught up.
Speaker 1: I thought it was Antifa though. So he's saying that
Speaker 1: they will commit violence. I mean that's like they're gonna
Speaker 1: be violent, so you're gonna get you're just trying to
Speaker 1: trigger them, right right exactly, you know they're gonna be vine.
Speaker 1: I mean, then that's all they're trying to do. It's
Speaker 1: political theater for people to just and I And that
Speaker 1: is obviously a huge concern and we'll talk about that
Speaker 1: a little more. But he also claimed that there's like
Speaker 1: a religious angle to Trump's arrest because the Left is
Speaker 1: a religion and Trump is Satan, so you gotta get
Speaker 1: it was very like I think even the audience had
Speaker 1: trouble following very We didn't all leave our churches and
Speaker 1: temples as teenagers and argue with our families over thanksgivings
Speaker 1: for us to be called a religion, fuck you. Hey,
Speaker 1: we're a bunch of heathens and we stand by that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We don't even say bless you when you sneeze, motherfuckers. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when I hear when I hear someone sneeze, I say,
Speaker 1: what the fuck? I say, thank science? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah? Yeah, do you that trick to look
Speaker 1: in the sun to sneeze? No? Does that trigger sneeze
Speaker 1: for you? I don't do that myself. Oh, if I'm
Speaker 1: on the edge of his knees, I could look straight
Speaker 1: up at the sun and it fucking brings it right
Speaker 1: on out that work. I do that to break to
Speaker 1: our Lord and Savior Donald Trump. So because he also
Speaker 1: looks at the sun, our Lord and Savior Apollo from
Speaker 1: the Apollo Capital Investment Group. Uh. And so I also
Speaker 1: want to touch Sean Hannity. Uh. He was also, oh,
Speaker 1: I should say this. At the end of Tucker Carlson's show,
Speaker 1: he said some wild shit. He made this off handed
Speaker 1: comment like under his breath but clearly audible, where he
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, might not be the best time to
Speaker 1: give up your AR fifteen. And can I just say
Speaker 1: about that too, Like, I mean he's been recently there's
Speaker 1: been a lot of Tucker Carlson stuff where he's been
Speaker 1: talking about trans people with R fifteens. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: in relation yeah to the natural shooting and all of that,
Speaker 1: they're now like proposing no guns for trans specifically. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you're admitting their people. Well, I mean it's it's
Speaker 1: all just fucking cruelty for cruelty's sake, because again, I
Speaker 1: think the like to get to like the attacks on
Speaker 1: the LGBTQ community is because the Republicans cannot fucking do
Speaker 1: battle with anyone at their level. They get smashed out.
Speaker 1: So the only people they can go they have to
Speaker 1: push the Week around because that's the only people they
Speaker 1: can And I say Week more in the sense of
Speaker 1: like marginalized or the lack of support from mainstream culture
Speaker 1: that that's sort of the way that they're eking out
Speaker 1: their victories because they're taking els in every other arena.
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, but I guess what, we just restricted
Speaker 1: the ability for these people to be happy So that's cool, right, base. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just like I don't think that they have an
Speaker 1: end game because it's also short term. Like they don't
Speaker 1: care about the environment, they don't care about like people dying,
Speaker 1: they don't care about human rights because they all just want,
Speaker 1: like within their lifetime, for their careers to be extended
Speaker 1: and for them to be wealthy. And I'm also like
Speaker 1: I feel like if they had just become an influencer,
Speaker 1: like it would be easier, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like there are other less stressful ways to get the bag, dude,
Speaker 1: like just starting only fans, like you're like you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, like already showing your ass on TV
Speaker 1: do something or with ethics, you know, like we're so fascist.
Speaker 1: Only fans is one I'm scared of. No, that's those
Speaker 1: TikTok women who were like doing the housewives bit where
Speaker 1: they're like the trad wife thing. Oh yeah, that's like
Speaker 1: people are like, oh that's like a fetish, you know,
Speaker 1: And I'm like like fuck yeah, Like get your bag,
Speaker 1: you know, like get your bag and then just keep
Speaker 1: your bag there and any political movements don't use it
Speaker 1: to buy guns, you know. Yeah. His Trump's little infant
Speaker 1: son Donnie Junior decided to use some Colombian inspiration fuel
Speaker 1: to go on his like live stream, and then he
Speaker 1: just like rattled off a bunch of dictators to make
Speaker 1: some because like, you know, pull pot Um fucking due
Speaker 1: Hitler Stalin, You're like what, dude, and he's like and
Speaker 1: Trump and Trump. This would make them roll over in
Speaker 1: their graves because they wouldn't believe how authoritarian this place
Speaker 1: has come. But meanwhile, pretty much all of the Republicans
Speaker 1: have fallen into line to come to the defense of
Speaker 1: their Orange stepfather and using their favorite tools to do so.
Speaker 1: My buddy anti black racism and his cousin anti semitism,
Speaker 1: because they are all doing some combination. You're hearing this
Speaker 1: on Fox NonStop right now. I was up all night
Speaker 1: with the bait with the Geist child. He was a
Speaker 1: little fussy. I think he was excited to hear about
Speaker 1: the sump shit. So we were just watching the news
Speaker 1: and I would look, I'm watching Fox like Jesus guist
Speaker 1: okay of Nazar trends. But they're all doing some combination
Speaker 1: of dehumanizing language for da Alvin Bragg, which is like
Speaker 1: he's a thug or he's an animal. Or some shit
Speaker 1: like that, and then evoking the anti semitism part by
Speaker 1: and he's a George Soros funded thug the man to
Speaker 1: completely basically I mean this, I guess do their dog
Speaker 1: and it's not even a whistle at this point. It's
Speaker 1: dog full voice screaming at this point. But yeah, they're
Speaker 1: just trying to you know, Pitt. They're saying, the black
Speaker 1: guy and the Jewish guy hate Trump. You see, guys,
Speaker 1: that's who the enemy is. Yeah, because he's anti black
Speaker 1: and anti Semitics. That's why they would hate tru Although, hey,
Speaker 1: I love my blacks, including the two tokens I pay
Speaker 1: to stand behind me hit every rally. Thanks so much.
Speaker 1: I will be paying your hair relax her bills you
Speaker 1: in voice four and here in Georgia. You know, we've
Speaker 1: got the one that Fanny Wallace is working right now,
Speaker 1: and she's a black woman. I just I'm like just
Speaker 1: thinking about when he gets indited here, yeah, the black woman.
Speaker 1: Where that's gonna happen, like already because we already know
Speaker 1: how his his you know, his rage for women of color.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Hannity did the smart thing and he had
Speaker 1: two black guys on his show to go after out,
Speaker 1: and so I just want to play this moment where
Speaker 1: he's I don't know who the fuck these these people are,
Speaker 1: but this one old dude just goes. He's like he
Speaker 1: gets the crowd going, and then they they pan to
Speaker 1: a crowd shot. I just want you to watch this
Speaker 1: whole clip because like there's an audience cheering, but I
Speaker 1: want you to really pay attention to like the audience. Dude.
Speaker 1: It's a very weird moment. I got news Wee every ounce,
Speaker 1: every second time I have, I'll donate and I'll get
Speaker 1: news Wee out of Brad. After we defeat this lawsuit,
Speaker 1: we're to file like some rights lawsuit that gets you
Speaker 1: for malicious prosecution. Thank you. Oh god, I'm so uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Who is this man? Who is this this the enthused?
Speaker 1: It's such a weird like there are people just like
Speaker 1: looks like a bunch of like excited white dudes. Yeah exactly,
Speaker 1: and then and jk rowling to the side too. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so again this is just we're seeing them all kind
Speaker 1: of unify around this message. Alvin Bragg has gone too
Speaker 1: far because he's prosecuting people that are committing crimes. Even
Speaker 1: Ron de santiss As couldn't resist getting self tanner all
Speaker 1: over his mouth and said that he would not even
Speaker 1: extradite if the Feds wanted him too, which really isn't
Speaker 1: a thing, but it sounds provocative, And like so many
Speaker 1: Republicans right now who are trying to run for president
Speaker 1: are looking at a moment where you know, you could
Speaker 1: fucking maybe turn your back, but they have opted out.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think it's as if they believe
Speaker 1: that powerful white guys should be above the law, which
Speaker 1: is like maybe unifying them, and I mean, they're they're
Speaker 1: genuine shock. Seems to really indicate as much because they
Speaker 1: say things like, oh, really for like a for a
Speaker 1: federal elections thing, that's obscene, Like you're saying that you
Speaker 1: shouldn't that you can break the law in that instance.
Speaker 1: It's a very very We're in a very sticky situation.
Speaker 1: And all this is not great for people that hope
Speaker 1: to see like less violent fuckery around Trump's lies, because
Speaker 1: right now, like Manhattan is being like fortified as they
Speaker 1: prepare for Trump to turn him turn himself in, and
Speaker 1: you know, they're already having to like assess like the
Speaker 1: dozens of threats that are starting to come in, especially
Speaker 1: against the DA. So it's clear he's trying to do
Speaker 1: like a January sixth style ramp up of misinformation to
Speaker 1: try and inspire some kind of violent confrontation. But where
Speaker 1: yet to see exactly what kind of appetite there is
Speaker 1: for this. Like I know Marjorie Taylor Green is trying
Speaker 1: to start to kick things off. She's like, I'm going down.
Speaker 1: I'm going to New York to protest. You believe me.
Speaker 1: I'll be there Tuesday. But I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: enough time for all the dark money groups to you know,
Speaker 1: coordinate air travel and buses for their acolytes to be vinolent.
Speaker 1: You gave us so much information and it was also
Speaker 1: valuable in such a great perspective. And what I have
Speaker 1: to add is that Alvin Bragg is such a Gotham
Speaker 1: daass name, and I love it. They're shutting down to
Speaker 1: the island of Manhattan as Alvin Brag after the city's
Speaker 1: biggest joker. Yeah, the countries right, Yeah, people have said
Speaker 1: that this is another thing too. You go to like MSNBC.
Speaker 1: I was watching all the news channels last night and
Speaker 1: it was wild how they're all around the clock with it,
Speaker 1: and some people look so fucking tired because it's like
Speaker 1: three thirty or four in the morning, and like pundits like, yeah,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna keep saying the same five things over
Speaker 1: and over for hours. But one thing that a few
Speaker 1: people said, like, this is a somber day. You know,
Speaker 1: this is the first time a former president has been
Speaker 1: indicted for crimes. And and I'm like, but every fucking
Speaker 1: president is a crook and as a basic gass level
Speaker 1: war crime, like war crimer. So at those people were
Speaker 1: sad when the queen died. Fuck that. Yeah, right, No,
Speaker 1: of course they were. It's a somber day for us
Speaker 1: who believe that ascending to certain offices of power make
Speaker 1: you superhuman and therefore you can commit like untold transgressions
Speaker 1: against untold amounts of people. You just know that George
Speaker 1: Bush is just like having it such a field day
Speaker 1: with getting away with his work cryings. He's like, you
Speaker 1: should have It's like that dude should have painted after
Speaker 1: he likes finger paintings. Yeah exactly, He's like, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just he's probably just he's probably in a field
Speaker 1: right now, like paint like finger painting. Abu Grave he's
Speaker 1: like I got away with it too, you know, just
Speaker 1: like horrors. I know. Yeah, when he signs all of
Speaker 1: his like paintings with a palm print on the back
Speaker 1: because he can't write, oh my God, like a little doggie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like your preschool project. You're humanizing him now you have
Speaker 1: to feel bad and fantaizing him, yeah, fantalizing him to
Speaker 1: start a little bold weapons of mass distruction. Bind your weapons, God,
Speaker 1: And what a dark world because like all he can
Speaker 1: do his laugh at the hopelessness over the like millions
Speaker 1: of lives are completely upended by that fucking war. But
Speaker 1: you know, if there, if you're like a normal, everyday person,
Speaker 1: this was sort of upsetting, right, Like you will get
Speaker 1: thrown in jail and even killed by law enforcement for less.
Speaker 1: And it's about again. For me, I'm like, it's about
Speaker 1: fucking time there's some at least demonstration that there can
Speaker 1: be accountability, although I don't know what level it will
Speaker 1: get to, so I will save my celebrations when shit
Speaker 1: actually gets real and we are hearing like guilty verdicts
Speaker 1: and things like that and see where that goes. But
Speaker 1: it's again, I'm like, it's with bated breath, I will.
Speaker 1: I will say though it is heartening. It's nice to
Speaker 1: at least see that shit going to this point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like seeing a cop actually getting indicted or like
Speaker 1: you know, try well because like all the time you're like,
Speaker 1: you know exactly, like it's like seeing shit on video
Speaker 1: and you're like, that is a fucking crime. I don't
Speaker 1: even I don't that's a crime. And now we're at
Speaker 1: least again maybe seeing it happen here. But the thing is,
Speaker 1: he's already he's already got two trials happening this year.
Speaker 1: He's about he has two civil trials he's facing. One
Speaker 1: is a two hundred and fifty million dollars fraud case
Speaker 1: in New York civil trial, and then Egene Carroll's defamation
Speaker 1: case around her alleged the rape that she's accusing him of.
Speaker 1: So the first one, I think, the two hundred fifty
Speaker 1: million dollar fraud case starts in October and then the
Speaker 1: defamation case is in April. So Jan is doing more
Speaker 1: hours than I am this year. That's crazy. He is
Speaker 1: booked and busy. Okay, I need his agent, yes, you
Speaker 1: need his terrible lawyers and aggressive like care you see
Speaker 1: me doing the Giuliani tour, You're like, what the fuck.
Speaker 1: Please don't have fake hair though that you sweat out
Speaker 1: like in the press conference, but if I wiped it
Speaker 1: off right now, and you were like, what the fuck? No,
Speaker 1: he was doing drag when he did thought that was rag.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I love that so much. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's so funny. That was good Southern drac too. Like
Speaker 1: this even thing about like you know when you talk
Speaker 1: about accountability for presidents, right, like we let Nixon off
Speaker 1: the hook, and that that definitely emboldened Reagan to go
Speaker 1: iran contrat the fuck up and he was like, man,
Speaker 1: what the fuck are they gonna do? You know? And
Speaker 1: now I think we're just we're seeing that momentum carry
Speaker 1: on to its logical endpoint or not endpoint, but where
Speaker 1: we are today in the form of Trump, who's only
Speaker 1: seen these other examples of like, yeah, you can get
Speaker 1: away with shit, like if you get to this point,
Speaker 1: yeah you can, you can fuck around like whatever. So,
Speaker 1: like I said, it's the weakest case against him when
Speaker 1: you look at what is being investigated, like you said
Speaker 1: Carmen in Georgia and what the DOJ is doing with
Speaker 1: their special counsel. So we'll see, Yeah, what happens and
Speaker 1: how long it takes for legal jeopardy his legal jeopardy
Speaker 1: to ramp up exponentially. But that one we got, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that on tape. That's on tape too. But can you
Speaker 1: imagine the most tedious jeopardy? You know what I mean? Monotone?
Speaker 1: I don't know the laws? Yeah, what is the jurisprudence
Speaker 1: in regards to bail? I'm just I'm just regurgitating, that's
Speaker 1: your answer. No, that was like, that was this prompt
Speaker 1: like a judge in India gave to chat GPT to
Speaker 1: to figure out if someone deserved bail. Oh really yeah,
Speaker 1: that WASPD say, like it just arrests ads or what? Yeah? Right, No,
Speaker 1: it was it just basically it was like looking up Wikipedia.
Speaker 1: It just sort of like recited the law back to you.
Speaker 1: I knew the entire legal system was based on Wikipedia.
Speaker 1: I knew it. We all had a hunch you don't
Speaker 1: need a lawyer, you just need chat GPT. Right. Oh,
Speaker 1: can you imagine chat GPT fucking passed the bar like
Speaker 1: in the top ten percent? Right, So I think I
Speaker 1: think it would do a better job than Gwyneth or
Speaker 1: that other dude's lord, Like, yeah, at least simp over
Speaker 1: Gwynneth the entire war. I think someone as a it's
Speaker 1: probably gonna start off as a goof where someone represents
Speaker 1: themselves at trial with the help of at GPT, and
Speaker 1: then oh fuck yeah, why do we have to all right,
Speaker 1: that's all right, chat GPT, j D to you. Okay,
Speaker 1: we could ask chat GPT to write us the script
Speaker 1: for that movie of something using chat GPT. Actually chat
Speaker 1: GBT wrote this episode. I don't know if you know that, Carmen, Like,
Speaker 1: everything that's coming out of your voice is chat I written.
Speaker 1: I'm Chatt. We all are in a way, we all
Speaker 1: are chat GPT. That's gonna be some fucking dumb ted
Speaker 1: talk when we're at the precipice of like cultural apocalypse,
Speaker 1: when they're like, in a way, we are all chat
Speaker 1: GPT and we should embrace the fucking darkness. Chat GPT
Speaker 1: was more about the ai you made along the way,
Speaker 1: you know. Fuck all right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll wrap this wonderful episode out by talking about
Speaker 1: the whitest trial of the century right after this and
Speaker 1: we're back and yeah, Ron de Santists, I think is
Speaker 1: worth talking about too, because he hasn't quite reached the
Speaker 1: heights of stardom that he did right after the midterms
Speaker 1: in November, when his poll numbers were sky high and
Speaker 1: a lot of movers and shakers and the GOP started
Speaker 1: making googly eyes and being like, I don't know, this
Speaker 1: might be the guy, This might be the time. Now,
Speaker 1: just throttle off, you know, Trump and get onto de Santists,
Speaker 1: because he knows how to do this stuff well, and
Speaker 1: he's smarter and he is all those things. The one
Speaker 1: thing though, that he just does not have, despite his
Speaker 1: like you know, quote unquote keen legal eye to be
Speaker 1: as cool as possible, is that he has no fucking
Speaker 1: charisma And there's nothing interesting about him except that he
Speaker 1: wears cowboy boots and like the weirdest times and I'm
Speaker 1: thinking just because he likes to get a couple inches
Speaker 1: off them heels and that's why he does it. But
Speaker 1: that's like, he really lacks any kind of magnetism outside
Speaker 1: of his ability to be really cruel through his legislation
Speaker 1: in the state of Florida. And ever since then, ever
Speaker 1: since that like mid term moment, it's been a slow
Speaker 1: slide back down the charts. You know, it came out
Speaker 1: with a strong single, but the album people just didn't
Speaker 1: aren't buying. And He's had moment after moment where Trump
Speaker 1: would send some you know, shade his way, like trying
Speaker 1: to smear him, and he would just back down or
Speaker 1: fucking hide from the media so he didn't have to
Speaker 1: talk about taking an lso publicly. And so when you
Speaker 1: see that, you're like, oh, he has no appetite to actually,
Speaker 1: you know, do battle with Trump in any way that
Speaker 1: you'd need to eventually if you're really trying to go
Speaker 1: for this nomination in the Republican side. But I think
Speaker 1: we're really beginning to see the limits of this man. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, if you were a Pokemon card and you
Speaker 1: flipped him over and you look at the stats, he
Speaker 1: would have negative one twenty charisma points. His weakness would
Speaker 1: be standing up for himself, and his special attack would
Speaker 1: be eats pudding with three fingers. I heard there's an
Speaker 1: anecdote about how he eats pudding with his bare hands.
Speaker 1: Yet anyway, that's time me just making up. That's that's
Speaker 1: me taking from that rip from the headline. I really
Speaker 1: enjoy eating with my hands, but putting what what No, No,
Speaker 1: you like te meat with your bare hands or like
Speaker 1: get bread dipping stuff, Like there's something very tactile eating
Speaker 1: with your hands, but not blooding sir girls. You know,
Speaker 1: I think the Santa's real problem is the fact that
Speaker 1: he can't straddle the line appropriately to reach both Trump
Speaker 1: and connects to his pass right. So he went to Yale.
Speaker 1: You know, whether he earned it or did anything good
Speaker 1: while he was there is up in the air. But
Speaker 1: he went to Yale, which means ear to lead us.
Speaker 1: You're getting rid of all of these books, but you
Speaker 1: kind of have all of this past history with Like
Speaker 1: I've read all of them and love them. It's just
Speaker 1: I don't think he can do. Look, you you have
Speaker 1: to go full dumb slash like hostile. Yeah. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: have to be so in your corner. Like the reason
Speaker 1: Trump got to be so successful because he was like,
Speaker 1: I will literally not hear any argument that isn't my
Speaker 1: own thought that I'm not going to come to the
Speaker 1: table or debate you. There's no backing down. So either
Speaker 1: you have to be Trump essentially and meet him with
Speaker 1: all of that energy, or you're totally screwed and you're
Speaker 1: and because you're handering to an already very specific alienated audience.
Speaker 1: There's nowhere to go from there. Like, sensible Republicans wherever
Speaker 1: they are, if they still exist, are not looking at
Speaker 1: de Santists as an option, right, That's not far enough
Speaker 1: away from Trump for them. And Trump is still out
Speaker 1: here working, so they're not. His followers are not looking
Speaker 1: to replace him. So I don't know what hole the
Speaker 1: Santist is trying to fill with this craziness, other than
Speaker 1: you know, failing to try to like take down Disney
Speaker 1: and making sure kids can't read I guess, and eating
Speaker 1: with his three fingers disgusting image. You know what it's from.
Speaker 1: So it's like this apparently happened four years ago. Is
Speaker 1: on a private plane from Tallahasse to DC and Twitter
Speaker 1: on a private plane where they provide you with silverware.
Speaker 1: I'm sure, sir, it's all as it goes. Is he
Speaker 1: enjoyed a chocolate pudding dessert by eating it with three
Speaker 1: of his fingers, according to two sources familiar with the incident. Again,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's true, but I love if
Speaker 1: this is fake. I love this kind of ship, like
Speaker 1: be like yo, this guy eats pudding with three fingers,
Speaker 1: like in front of people who he knows are writing
Speaker 1: about him. There's a lot of questions to be asked
Speaker 1: here because it's not like privately with your buddies where
Speaker 1: you're like, listen, I know it's gross, but this I
Speaker 1: like it. But maybe that's his like maybe that's his
Speaker 1: tack to populism like Trump did. He's like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean who doesn't eat, you know, putting with their three fingers.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm a regular American. People are like yeah,
Speaker 1: foxspoons Man, yeah something. It resonates with the toddler demographic.
Speaker 1: I also love just the idea that that that what's
Speaker 1: what is happening on private planes where where him and
Speaker 1: Amy Kloba schar She's eating salad with a comb, he's
Speaker 1: eaten pudding with three fingers. They're both looking at the
Speaker 1: Blasio going eating pizza with a fork, going what's what's
Speaker 1: this maniac dote over here? Like yeah, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean you're and you're right though, it's like an
Speaker 1: impossible situation. So you know, if Trump comes along and
Speaker 1: he's the new hit movie and all the other studios
Speaker 1: trying to make the same movie again right now, and
Speaker 1: but they don't understand is that you can't You can't
Speaker 1: be Trump to Trump. That's like a contradiction of the
Speaker 1: whole thing you you can't like because if you're Trump
Speaker 1: to Trump, you alienate the Trump base and you need
Speaker 1: those people, okay, or you don't be Trump to Trump,
Speaker 1: and then you're not being Trump at all because Trump
Speaker 1: doesn't take exceptions to Trump. So really, the only real
Speaker 1: viable options I think for a Republican right now is
Speaker 1: just sort of like kiss the ring of Trump, sort
Speaker 1: of like support him until he just fades away, and
Speaker 1: then when he doesn't want to run anymore, get his
Speaker 1: blessing and then run. And that's one way to be
Speaker 1: successful because if you blast him, if you do this
Speaker 1: like you don't this wavy thing, then you you're either
Speaker 1: you're losing his base, which you need to like win,
Speaker 1: you know, or you're just not being him and they
Speaker 1: don't have they like you're you're not being the Trump
Speaker 1: that you want you to be. There the option you
Speaker 1: can be. And I don't know why I kind of
Speaker 1: wish Nicki Haley didn't go down the route Nicky Haley
Speaker 1: could be this person where she's like, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: play this Dessanti's Trump game, you know, and I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna be this like old school Republican where I just
Speaker 1: am not going in hate and everything. And it feels
Speaker 1: like even she's like taking a page from this Trump stuff.
Speaker 1: If any Republican could come out, well, go ahead to
Speaker 1: your point, and I think it's finishing your thought. Is
Speaker 1: they all this is what has happened. They all are
Speaker 1: in fear of the influence that he has and they
Speaker 1: have to just sort of like model themselves after. David
Speaker 1: Frum in The Atlantic sort of puts it this way.
Speaker 1: He's like, he's like, why are you gonna fucking like
Speaker 1: buy the tribute band album when you could just buy
Speaker 1: the original album? Right, you know what I mean? Like
Speaker 1: why are you fucking with the tribute band because they're
Speaker 1: not going to do it as well as him, And
Speaker 1: that's kind of like this weird position that you're in,
Speaker 1: right is Like the thing is, I think the only
Speaker 1: way you can differentiate is to truly differentiate, and like
Speaker 1: to your point is disagree with him out loud or
Speaker 1: say shit like yeah, this dude is a mess and
Speaker 1: his law breaking is not a good look. But every
Speaker 1: person that says that ends up getting the fucking buzz saw,
Speaker 1: and they're like they run away from it very quickly,
Speaker 1: and the few that stood up to it, they're like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm not running for reelection. So it's like
Speaker 1: almost like do you have the medal to actually attempt
Speaker 1: to do that, because that would be the only way
Speaker 1: you could do it. But I don't know if there's
Speaker 1: enough in like the national conversation on the right there
Speaker 1: that everyone is feeling like, yeah, man, that's bad. We
Speaker 1: do need to move on from him, because people are
Speaker 1: still talking about January sixth and some corners and things
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, if you have if you're sort of
Speaker 1: like a more moderate Republican, okay, and you wanted so
Speaker 1: you're trying to get that like whatever the eight percent
Speaker 1: of people that are that design every election or whatever,
Speaker 1: you know, you could basically you're not gonna You're not
Speaker 1: gonna lose QAnon because Qans, those maggot people there, they
Speaker 1: their hate for Joe Biden outweighs, you know, their love
Speaker 1: for Trump or whatever. So if like, if it's between
Speaker 1: you and anti Trump or and Joe Biden, they're still
Speaker 1: gonna vote for the anti Trump Republicans. They hate Joe
Speaker 1: Biden so much. And I think there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people in the middle that are undecided, that are tired
Speaker 1: of all of this, Like you know, descents where the
Speaker 1: woke goes to die is Florida and Trump the Liberals,
Speaker 1: they're ruining this county. They're tired of all this hatred.
Speaker 1: It's over. You know. It's like they've seen all the
Speaker 1: Marvel movies and they're kind of tired of superhero shit.
Speaker 1: Right now. They wanted they want something a little bit different.
Speaker 1: They loved it for so long, and now they want
Speaker 1: something a little bit different, and and you're right, no
Speaker 1: one's no one's gonna do it because they well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what's so funny though, too, Like when you see
Speaker 1: all the ads of like Republican especially like men, like
Speaker 1: Republican men running for office, there's like this through line
Speaker 1: of like, Hey, I'm buck Fuckville and I'm running for congressman.
Speaker 1: And guess what I made love to this pile of
Speaker 1: bullets before the director said action because I'm about your
Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights. And you know what, I was always
Speaker 1: told one thing, to never back down from a fight,
Speaker 1: and that's what I swear to do. I will never
Speaker 1: back down. From a fight, unless it's with Donald Trump
Speaker 1: the second he calls my name out, and which is
Speaker 1: so funny that for all this like posturing of like
Speaker 1: I'll never back, that's all they do. And but again
Speaker 1: I think it's all in service because like the people
Speaker 1: that it's attracting aren't necessarily thinkers. They're all mimics. And
Speaker 1: the mimicry is getting to a certain point. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to know, like, well, you know who
Speaker 1: ends up on top. But I just do want to
Speaker 1: play this one clip because it is kind of satisfying.
Speaker 1: This is from like Ron to Sand He says like
Speaker 1: I might be running for president tour where he's also
Speaker 1: like hawking a book, but he goes to Iowa, very
Speaker 1: you know, a very strategic place to visit when you're
Speaker 1: thinking about running for president, and fucking this event was
Speaker 1: so backwards, like the second he comes on the stage,
Speaker 1: the stage crew took the like struck the podium from
Speaker 1: the stage, and then this antist gets all confused because
Speaker 1: he's like, my podium, my podium's gone. And then you
Speaker 1: hear the governor being like he needs his just listen
Speaker 1: to hell and you will just take in a bit
Speaker 1: of shot and Freudo for how you know, lackluster. His
Speaker 1: tour is actually going there they go with the podium.
Speaker 1: He was about to speak at the lectern. Thank you
Speaker 1: all right, well they took that? Did you take my
Speaker 1: podium away from me? Oh Jesus, they took the podium. Well,
Speaker 1: it's great to be with you from the Free State.
Speaker 1: I you know, I love Family Guy and this is
Speaker 1: one of my favorite episodes of Family Guys. And all
Speaker 1: right right, I don't y'all right? Where hey, how's everybody
Speaker 1: doing here? All right, Peter, Peter, we need the podium,
Speaker 1: bah reis we have the time I became king at Disneyland.
Speaker 1: So yeah, apparently what's funny too is he was working
Speaker 1: with an events company that does like a lot of
Speaker 1: like the top draw conservative events. They they backed out
Speaker 1: of their contract with de Santis's campaign because they're like, dude,
Speaker 1: his They like apparently their belief is his, Like his
Speaker 1: campaign's a mess, and they don't want people. They don't
Speaker 1: want people to start associating his fucked up events with
Speaker 1: their company, like like with that podium thing, and they're like,
Speaker 1: you know what, probably better off. We don't like we
Speaker 1: normally work with like the most vile racist, xenophobes, transphobes, homophobes,
Speaker 1: all the phobes you can, you know, imagine this is
Speaker 1: a bridge too far. He's just unprofessional about it. So
Speaker 1: we will see where he ends up, you know. And
Speaker 1: you're right too that nobody has seen do Santist talk
Speaker 1: for a length of time. They get these little sound
Speaker 1: bites and when you if you're gonna see Santist, if
Speaker 1: he goes in a debate with Trump, trouble will destroy
Speaker 1: him because Trump is a performer. He's done. He's the
Speaker 1: Don Rickles of the Republican Party and he can just
Speaker 1: take them all down. And he's not gonna because he
Speaker 1: has a couple of talking points that he has that
Speaker 1: he works into stuff. But he's not he's not good
Speaker 1: on the fought and he sounds like kind of Kermit
Speaker 1: the Frog a little bit, and and and yeah, just
Speaker 1: as soon as people like hear him talk, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's going to be bad. And it kind of reminds me.
Speaker 1: The other thing is, I don't know if we're gonna
Speaker 1: get into the Marjorie Taylor Green thing at all, but
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have time, but yeah, but
Speaker 1: go on okay, but but here's here's what they like
Speaker 1: about the santist, because all you need to do to
Speaker 1: be a Republican candidate is like one sound bite of
Speaker 1: you telling somebody to shut up, you know, like you
Speaker 1: turning around to a press going, hey, how about you
Speaker 1: shut up? And then people like I like this, and
Speaker 1: so they they they've seen some sent to scent as.
Speaker 1: They like that he'll say shut up. I think he
Speaker 1: told a kid to put a mask on one time.
Speaker 1: They loved how we talked to that little you can
Speaker 1: take it off. He's like, take it off, yes, to
Speaker 1: a teenager or whatever the kid was, take it off,
Speaker 1: and they just like they like a guy who's like
Speaker 1: rude and sort of goes against everything they sort of
Speaker 1: preached to a very un Christian way to sort of
Speaker 1: speak to people. But they like that. They like a
Speaker 1: guy who's like not afraid to tell somebody to shut up.
Speaker 1: And so and that's what we want have time to
Speaker 1: get into Marjorie Taylor Green thing on sixteen minutes. But like,
Speaker 1: you know that that is why that that is sort
Speaker 1: of the problem with the Marjorie Taylor Green sixteen Minutes
Speaker 1: episode is that you know, they they whatever there, there's
Speaker 1: just they let her talk, and that's fine, you should
Speaker 1: let her talk. But also, like you know, people liked
Speaker 1: her because she is the type of person who gets
Speaker 1: on and tells people to shut up, right, and and
Speaker 1: then there go. I like that, but you have to
Speaker 1: show them. If you don't show the whole breadth of
Speaker 1: what she does, your misrepresent thing why people are criticizing her.
Speaker 1: And she's like the perfect example of like what has
Speaker 1: been going on systemically, I guess for in Congress for forever,
Speaker 1: which is people come in and like the Santis and
Speaker 1: margin killer gren and go. Congress is full of bumps.
Speaker 1: We gotta get rid of the bumps, right, and then
Speaker 1: they become the bumps, and then who though I'm a
Speaker 1: Facebook bump, but I just got the Capitol hill. I'm
Speaker 1: one of the bumps for Facebook. But we're moving on
Speaker 1: up folk. Yeah, I mean it's it's it's a merry
Speaker 1: go round and yeah, it's just Rhonda Santists. Would I
Speaker 1: hope that you can find uh, you know, the exit
Speaker 1: tour as quickly as possible, because I'm feeling I mean,
Speaker 1: we'll see what again, we don't we just don't know
Speaker 1: what is going to happen. He may have some new
Speaker 1: material or or we don't. But oh, to your point, nick,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, like, he's not going to be
Speaker 1: able to go toe to toe with Donald Trump because
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is like just a bully, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. He'll fucking he'll say whatever the fuck he
Speaker 1: wants to you. Rhonda Santis isn't like that. And if
Speaker 1: Trump was like, look at you, let everybody you should
Speaker 1: see his shoes he's wearing right now. How many inches
Speaker 1: did those add? Ron? But three inches? So what? So
Speaker 1: what without them? So with them you're five six? So
Speaker 1: with them, he's probably about five three. Folks, your boy
Speaker 1: right here, look at these, I'm wearing flip flops. These
Speaker 1: are lattis can be I'm six three, bring the tape
Speaker 1: measure out, and then Ronda Santis will be like, um
Speaker 1: I just I just don't think that that's Germaine to
Speaker 1: this conversation, like you love you said, Jermaine, Okay, it
Speaker 1: ain't gonna fucking work unless you can come back with like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I was just actually reading the story Stormy
Speaker 1: Daniel's thing, and you know I heard your favorite character
Speaker 1: in the our Super Mario world is told stool if
Speaker 1: you get what I mean. All Right, anyway, yeah, and
Speaker 1: then like and then just Santis gets the gamer vote,
Speaker 1: but anyway, it's just not we just don't know what
Speaker 1: will happen. All right. That's gonna do it for this
Speaker 1: week's weekly Zeit. Guys, please like and review the show.
Speaker 1: If you like the show, U means the world to Miles.
Speaker 1: He he needs your validation. Folks. I hope you're having
Speaker 1: a great weekend and I will talk to you Monday.
