Okay, well I was gonna say best seats 43 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: so Fi Stadium, but I feel like that's just more 44 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: of us talking about the same. But I also had 45 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: recently googled Irish girls names, and that was because I 46 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: was panicking at a show where I knew they were 47 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: filming the sets. And I've been doing a joke where 48 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 1: I say a real person's name, and I thought maybe 49 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: I should come up with a different name. But it's 50 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: just such a funny name to me. And I was 51 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: in the back trying to come up with a fake name. 52 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: And the problem with that stuff is it's the real 53 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: example is always funnier, just like not possible, Like I 54 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: wish I could. I'll share offline with you guys the 55 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: name that I that is the true name of this 56 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: real person. But I was like in the back being like, 57 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: I can't say sirsha Everyone knows that name as Sir Sharonian, 58 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: like I mean, and these are just you know what, 59 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: I feel like, that's a shift on succession. We're hearing that, 60 00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: you know what is it? But that is another iconic one, right, 61 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: kind of a cool name. Yeah, this is more of 62 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: like a the joke I do is I call her 63 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: a white girl named after a pony, and I feel 64 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: like I feel like sand is not a pony name. 65 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: You know, is running that that that whole operation for sure. 66 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: I feel like you can't go wrong with a Mary 67 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: to start it off, like Mary Sheila. Oh yeah, maybe 68 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: a two partner name like Mary Sheilah. Yeah, maybe I 69 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: can make up a whole hands big name with the 70 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: Irish last name. It's funny how it's true, Like truth 71 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: in comedy is always like the thing you like, one 72 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: of the first things you really learn when you're getting 73 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: into comedy. And yeah, like to your point, even if 74 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: you tried to engineer it, the fact, like you know, 75 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: it's just funnier because it's coming from the absolute like 76 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: well of truth and that probably translates immediately to the 77 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: didn't even know They're like, was that the person's real name? 78 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: You think? It just like the delivery and everything it 79 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: comes together beautiful. How did it go? What would you 80 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: come up with? And did did it hit as hard 81 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: with the fake name in there? I just said her 82 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: real name. It's like, you know what, And it's like 83 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: a thing where I don't think that it's they're going 84 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: to put that part out one it'll be fine, and 85 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: you know what, if that girl finds out, I'd honestly 86 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: be shocked. But I just I think sometimes once in comedy, 87 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: when it's like there's something about a show that's not 88 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: being filmed, where you go like, I mean, I'm technically 89 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: speaking into a microphone to an audience. This is not private, 90 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: but it feels different when you're filming and like posting 91 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: something online and all that feels like a different level. 92 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, but yeah, the real, the real example 93 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: is always the funniest. Yeah, what is something shanning you 94 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: think is overrated? Okay? I think I think smooth ageless 95 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: skin is overrated, all right. And the reason I'm saying 96 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: this is because I am being bombarded. I am being 97 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: harassed constantly seven with like every product that's like, don't 98 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: you want to get rid of your nasty crater old 99 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: woman's skin? And I'm like, whoa Jesus, what is happening? 100 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: And it's like Black Friday is coming up. I don't 101 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: know what it is, really, but it feels like it 102 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: feels like every year now it's like getting longer. It 103 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: used to be like a day, Now it's a week 104 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: now this year, it feels like it's a year long event, 105 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: and I'm getting so many Black Friday deals for like 106 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: all these like lasers and things, and I'm just like, 107 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: you know what, Like I'm I'm annoyed.

Are are you all getting harassed on social 114 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: media with this stuff? I see I see increased like 115 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: men's in care things pop up. But yeah, I'm I 116 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: don't know. I think again. I just try and ignore 117 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: as many ads as possible unless it's like a gigantic 118 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: blanket I can wear, and the I'm like, well, hold on, 119 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: what's this. I'm in the market for that. I don't 120 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: need things. It's like your pores look like the surface 121 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: of the moon, and I'm like, what the fun I'm like, okay, yeah, 122 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: Like I like, I want a blanket.

I'll buy a blanket from my face, but like, 124 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: stop sending me these ads where it's like, we know 125 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: you're dying, don't look out sexy and tire the fact 126 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: that you're dying from anyone else. I'm like, I think 127 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: the fact that I'm dying is cool, Okay, Like I'm 128 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: I think it's relatable that we're all aging and I 129 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: love it, like I love my face. Right, Yeah, I 130 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: think it's just funked up when the marketing is like, hey, 131 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: you should be in denial about your mortality because that's 132 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: the most unhealthy ship. Because if the second you go 133 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: down that road of like, oh, I can prevent like 134 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: having to be visited by my own mortality. When I 135 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: look in the mirror, I feel like that's where, you know, 136 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: you can get a little bit too invested in that. 137 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, when I say that as somebody 138 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: with basically no wrinkles, maybe because the genetics have blessed me. 139 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: So for all y'all out there with the prune skin, 140 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, I feel for y'all. Miles sponsored by one 141 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: of these firms. But I do have to say on 142 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: his behalf that he's okay. Yeah, so it's not it's 143 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: not total Paola. Yeah, but I do inject human growth 144 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: hormone directly into my the corner something. He has a 145 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: proprietary serum that he's trying to push. You're one of 146 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: that Black Friday, and I mean, like, I'm sure you 147 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: don't feel good, you know, knowing that you're just a 148 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: rotting corpse every day, right, So yeah, I don't know. 149 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: I think it's kind of fun. Like I've always felt 150 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: like this body, Like I've always felt like, oh man, 151 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: I can't wait to just be like an ethereal gas again. 152 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: Like you know, like my body has always kind of 153 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: just been like clearly like designed to keep me grounded. 154 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: And I'm a Pisces scorpion moon. Oh listen, I want 155 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: to float. I want to be in the sky. So 156 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: like I kind of think part of our human journey 157 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 1: and like the fact that we are slowly decaying and 158 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: eventually going to die. Like I think that's the coolest 159 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: part about life.

Okay, I don't think we should be engaging 169 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: in shame, especially not revolving around appearance, and especially when 170 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: you know the comment hail Bob is about to do 171 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: another periheli in by the earth in which catch it 172 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: this time?

Miles or 175 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: are they partying right now? On the tail of what's 176 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: something you think is underrated? Okay? Staying on theme, Black 177 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: Friday is overrated? Black Christmas is underrated? Are y'all fans 178 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: of the horror movie Black Christmas? I am not I 179 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: am not not a fan. I just have not gotten 180 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: into it. But I have heard like that. Then than 181 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: people remember no, I never heard of this. Oh okay, 182 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: so whoa and I went to school with her? Okay, 183 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: go on, well there's the there there's a remake that 184 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: came out a few years ago, but the original one, 185 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: I think came out in nineteen seventy four, and it's 186 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: a Christmas not themed but like it's a horror movie 187 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 1: that takes place during Christmas break on a college campus. 188 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: And one of the reasons why it is iconic and 189 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: underrated to me is that the whole like trope of 190 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: the final girl in horror movies, like we think it 191 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: started with Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween, which came out 192 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: right after Black Christmas, but this movie Black Christmas was 193 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: actually the first to include a final girl, the one 194 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: who survives at the very end. But unlike the trope 195 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,479 Speaker 1: where she's like super chaste and virginal, this character, Jess 196 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: is we know she's sexual because she's pregnant and she's 197 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: getting an abortion, but she's not like punished for it. 198 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: In fact, like her boyfriend, who's a jerk about it, 199 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: ends up getting slashed spoiler. And it was just a 200 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: really fascinating, like I don't know, to me see kind 201 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: of what could have been. But it was the same 202 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: director who went on to make a Christmas story, so 203 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: clearly he loves Christmas. Another dark take. He was like, 204 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: oh too, dark and a Christmas story. Okay, Okay, Bob Clark, 205 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: there's there's your double feature and it is legit scary. 206 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: It is very very spooky scary. I was like, wow, 207 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: what didn't interesting storyline with this character? Like it's going 208 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: against most of like American trumps, like a Canadian slasher film. Okay, 209 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: I like that. I see I see it now. Yeah, 210 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: that's wild that the slasher genre like started in a 211 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: very progressive place and then they're like, nah, well we'll 212 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: make it basically a metaphor for puritan values. Right, that's wild. 213 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: I think there's another Christmas horror movie that I've seen 214 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: billboards for with a Santa. That's the one with the 215 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: guy from David Harbor. David Harbor. Yeah, yeah, what the 216 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: fund is that one Harbor Santa movie? Violent Night Night 217 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 1: Kill Santa. Let's just what my kids need to see. 218 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: And I think Hallmark should really kind of get in 219 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: on this, you know, the holiday horror genre. Really it's 220 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: worth it. I don't. I don't see that. I like 221 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: somebody who watches so much Hallmark movies, I'm like, can 222 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: we spice it up a little, because some motherfucker gets 223 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: stabbed in this movie? Please, just to kind of keep 224 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: things going. They have one that's like there's a series 225 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: of films that's sort of like a murder mystery one 226 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,719 Speaker 1: and like one takes place during the holidays, but they 227 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: don't they haven't leaned into that. I mean, I get 228 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: it because Hallmark, like I'm pretty sure they have this 229 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: thing where like you can't even have They used to 230 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: say you can't have magic ship like be the inciting 231 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: incident in it because Christians, you know, I don't like that. 232 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: Just keep it, keep it, keep it, you know, keep it, 233 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, nice and above board with God. Mhmm, yeah, 234 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: that would be my main objection. So I'm glad to 235 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: see that that rule is being I think it is 236 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: rolled back. But there was a while where like people 237 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: like it's like in talking with people who make them, 238 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, you can't pitch Hallmarket thing where like 239 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: like magic is like the main point of something occurring 240 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: in this Christmas story or else they'll be like mad, no, no, 241 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: this is this is Satan Satan ship, right, although maybe 242 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: maybe like they're just wrong, and it would it would 243 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: push things like like nobody thought you should include religion 244 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: in your horror movies until the Exorcist. So just say, Christmas, 245 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: the holidays are a lot darker than people have depict 246 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: them in their shows. So Christener you a big horror 247 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: slash slasher slash slasher fan. I sound like it, but 248 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: not especially. I have like some select favorites, and black 249 00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: Christmas is one of them. And yeah, I'm just thinking, 250 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: if we're gonna, if we're gonna have to have a 251 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: you know, two month long Christmas season, now holiday season. Now, 252 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: let's spice up to Avatar, to the way of the 253 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: Water season in my household. All right, let's take a 254 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back, 255 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: and knives are out for Trump and the Republican Party. 256 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: They're they're just looking for their like, well, it can't 257 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: be our politics. The people rejected, So what do we 258 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: What do we do here? What do we him? You 259 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: get mad at him? Right now? They're choosing the one 260 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: person that they absolutely can't get rid of. I'm sure 261 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: that I have to assume this is a this is 262 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: a passing fad. As soon as they look at the 263 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: numbers again, they'll be like, oh wait, our Trump guy. 264 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: But the problem is, right, this is like the one 265 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: time where they absolutely need to find something different because 266 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: with Trump at the ticket, it's been consecutive elections where 267 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: they're just losing.

They get too scared, and next thing, 275 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: you know, they realize, oh, that's right, this dude is 276 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: my daddy now. And last week a lot of the 277 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: media outlets on the right came for him. In the 278 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: National Review, the headline was Trump is a bust for Republicans. Okay, okay, 279 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: and then uh going to Ruper Murdach, what's he doing 280 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: over there? Well, the most of the channels are like, 281 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: I don't know about this guy.

And then they realized quickly when the primary 326 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: started that they couldn't beat him, and so they go, 327 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: they go back to it. It's just there's not a 328 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: great option. I mean, DeSantis seems to be the option 329 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: that the like there maybe their best option, their best 330 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: alternative to this point, but I I can't picture a 331 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: version of this playing out where de Santi's beats Trump. 332 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: He's just too much more entertaining. And there is he's 333 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: a person who has a death cult, like we haven't 334 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: had that it ever, like a large scale death cult 335 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: in America. Like that's it's pretty wild. But yeah, it's like, 336 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: but how do you get but they're kind of maxed 337 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: out their membership on the death cult and now they're like, fuck, 338 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: if this is the best we can do, and jerrymandering 339 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: is like only barely getting us like to even footing, 340 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: then what Because I think that's the thing that a 341 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: lot of you know, like the consultant and strategy class 342 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: of the party you're thinking about, like I don't know 343 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: how the funk you're gonna win, like like you can 344 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: only do so much without trying to figure out. Maybe 345 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: someone else energizes more people to come back, and we'll 346 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: see what happens. But I think the thing that really 347 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: said Trump off, especially last week because he lost it, 348 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: like really in an interesting way. The New York Post, 349 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: I think, on Friday posted this headline with him and 350 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: his family after he won re election. It says, the 351 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: future run the future. Yes, run the future. Okay, mask 352 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: off And he's also mask off like future with his 353 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: racism and just heinousness. But Donald Trump went out and 354 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: then got on truth social and like email blasted everybody 355 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: talking about how like I made this motherfucker When he 356 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: said he was dying in the balls, I endorsed him. 357 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,239 Speaker 1: Then he said this, this is really interesting quote. I 358 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: was all in for Ron and he beat Gillham. But 359 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: after the race, when votes were being stolen by the 360 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: corrupt election process in Browood County and Ron was going 361 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: down ten thousand votes today along with now Senator Rick Scott, 362 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: I sent in the FBI and the U S attorneys, 363 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,719 Speaker 1: and the ballot theft immediately ended, just prior to them 364 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: running out of the votes necessary to win. I stepped 365 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: this election from being stolen. Hold on, sir, what you said? 366 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: Who to do? What a lot of people are like, 367 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 1: is this for real? Did he really? Was? He already 368 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: sucking with the like these mid terms, and I think 369 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: a lot of people are like. It most likely is 370 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: a reference to when then Florida Attorney General Pam bond 371 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: I like took into listen to some bullshit claims was 372 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: looking into some ship about voter fraud and they didn't 373 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: find ship, and they kept it moving because I think 374 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 1: most people have noticed we usually have here most of 375 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: the ship that happens like in real time with this guy, 376 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,719 Speaker 1: It just depends on how much of it gets reported 377 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: or not. And not many people found anything that, you know, 378 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: that seemed consistent with what he just said. But again, 379 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: I think shows his level of like, like he's really 380 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: doing like I made you is the vibe right now. 381 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: The only vision is empowers because I committed crimes to 382 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: get him there easy. But that's what's so good about 383 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: having the Republicans tied to somebody who is any any 384 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: time he's under attack or like any something that he 385 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: perceives as humiliating, which is almost everything, because that's just 386 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: like how his brain work, Like anytime that's happening, he 387 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: is like a person who's drowning and just pulling everyone 388 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: in with him, just like fuck you on like and 389 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: we'll keep doing that until he's on a pile of 390 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: bodies like just it's like watching a magician bomb. Yeah, 391 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: you did not see me switched the quarter into my 392 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: other hand. When we did, we did. What the funk man? 393 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: That wasn't magic? Okay? What about this guy? Like this 394 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: guy was loving it a minute ago? To ask him 395 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 1: what happened? He sent me up Actually, motherfucker, get up here. 396 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: Let's all boo him. What? But yeah, I think then 397 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: he went on and came after the governor like Glenn 398 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: Unken and was like being like, I don't know, maybe 399 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: he's Asian. It sounds Asian to me. What kind of 400 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: last name is young Ken? Like that's the I'm not joking. 401 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: That was the level of shit talking he was at today. 402 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: It was just being like, this dude's last name sounds Asian. 403 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: This is what he said, young kid, and parenthetical that's 404 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: an interesting take. Sounds Chinese, doesn't it? What are you doing? 405 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: I think we should just isolate the side that Lizzie 406 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: just said and that should be our only analysis of 407 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: It's giving me a panic Like the idea of going 408 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: back to it gives me a panic attack. Well, this 409 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: is the thing, right, I think most people have seen 410 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: all these MAGA candidates that were running to be elected. 411 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: The ones that were re elected is one thing, But 412 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: the people who are trying to unseat incumbents incumbents were 413 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: not fucking winning, and that's a big thing that they're like, Dude, 414 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: the MAGA ship is not as potent as it used 415 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: to be. And I think that's that's the one thing 416 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: that I will take as an indication of perhaps his 417 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: stock somewhat dwindling. Is that, like it just like they 418 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: wasn't quite getting over the line with some of these extremists. 419 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: Like at a certain point some people are like, yeah, 420 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: like Donald Trump's like, but also like a lot of 421 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,479 Speaker 1: this ship is it doesn't sound like solution based at all. 422 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: It sounds like, you know, let's just restrict people's access 423 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: to like healthcare or privatize social curity and things like that. 424 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 1: So I don't know, but you'd feel like if there 425 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: was that sort of same energy behind it, that would 426 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: have been borne out a little bit in the election results. 427 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: So I think it's just merely like because the brand 428 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: is just so it's just not as it's losing its 429 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: appeal somewhat. Yeah, I feel like it's very muddy, Like 430 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: like you said, it's on the one hand, it does 431 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: seem like the Maggie candidates didn't do well, and but 432 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: like all of the analysis of the midterm elections and 433 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: like them being the opposite of what was predicted by 434 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: the mainstream media, a lot of it is like, well, 435 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 1: there is a candidate quality issue and Trump maybe like 436 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: Trump's appeal maybe dwindling, but like that's hard to prove 437 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: because he wasn't like on the ticket, you know, like 438 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: he wasn't no, nobody was actually voting for him, and 439 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: so it just muddies what seems like there are some 440 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: very straightforward like policy takeaways that should be the thing 441 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: that every media outlet is pointing out, pointing to, and 442 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: but but they are these like straightforward policy takeaways that 443 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: don't work with the mainstream narrative because they're too simple 444 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: and straightforward. And like it does feel like this moment 445 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: feels go ahead. I was just gonna say, I love 446 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: that the idea of a candidate quality check for Republicans, 447 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: Like what that would be like, is there a crease 448 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: in your doctors check their teeth and gum line okay 449 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: like a horse, like okay, good, But this moment just 450 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: feels very clarifying to me, like it feels like, you know, 451 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of progressive energy at the point, like 452 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: from voters that is laid bare in an election that 453 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: the mainstream media was kind of distracted into thinking was 454 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: going in a different direction, so they didn't really have 455 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: their messaging ready for like what was going to happen 456 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: if there was this kind of progressive energy that turned out, 457 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: And instead of like covering the progressive policies that are 458 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: resonating with people that have resonated with people for a 459 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: long time, they're just like muddying everything with this like 460 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: are people tired of Trump? Like what's Trump gonna say? 461 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: Like just this like personality contest, this like sports media 462 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: bullshit take of just like who's got the better like 463 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: who who's the better horse? Essentially, The New York Times 464 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: literally like the day after the election was like, all right, 465 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: here's who we like for the Democratic presidency. If Biden 466 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 1: drops out, they'll be shocked to know the people they 467 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: liked Harris Buddha Jedge where we're like all the mainstream 468 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: centrist Democrats and the people they weren't feeling like literally 469 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: there was a category that was like here's who do 470 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: Here's who we like, and then a category I'm just 471 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: not feeling it. And it was like the first two 472 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: were Bernie Sanders and AOC. We're like number one and 473 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: two of like just not feeling just not feeling once 474 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: to old once too. You think J. B. Pritsker was 475 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: in the middle section of that. Yeah, that's not a 476 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: lot of people are just like, just get the just 477 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: get these big lads out there, right, Yeah, the big, 478 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: big relatable lads out there, like in the Rush belt. 479 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: But there's like a very straightforward story to tell here 480 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: like that. So yeah, there has a lot of there 481 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: has been a lot of support for progressive policies that 482 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: performed incredibly well, and they performed incredibly well in like 483 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: big elections like Pennsylvania with Shapiro and Fetterman just you know, 484 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: running populist campaigns that are focused on giving people economic 485 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: reforms that help their lives, like that is for some 486 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: reason seen as like this fringe populist thing, but it works. 487 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: And then there are these more conservative, demo cratic statewide 488 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: campaigns in North Carolina and Iowa that had so Fetterman 489 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: Shapiro both ran ahead of how Joe Biden did in 490 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: traditionally Republican parts of the state. That's always what Democrats are, like, 491 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: the thing that we got to figure out is how 492 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: we get those like those blue collar workers to start 493 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: voting Democrat again. So they have their answer that that's it, 494 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: like that just run on populist, progressive economic policies that 495 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: we we saw that work. And when they didn't do 496 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: that in state wide campaigns in North Carolina and Iowa, 497 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: they ran behind Joe Biden. So it's like a very 498 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: very straightforward lesson and that feels like good news, right, 499 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: they have a very clear answer following this election. The 500 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: bad news is they've had a very clear answer before 501 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: this and ignore the funk out of it, But how 502 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: do we do economic populism without really affecting the bottom 503 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: line a lot of companies? And I think that's the like, 504 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: that's this fucking weird cliff that the Democrats are always 505 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: like standing over there, like, I mean, it's a winning 506 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: message when you speak directly to people's lived experiences and say, 507 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: I know you're getting fucked over by like rising prices 508 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: and the greed of companies. I know that. Like when 509 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: you go that route, people are like wait what and 510 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: suddenly like you're saying like rural counties start going back 511 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: towards Democrats because they're speaking something that is like very straightforward. 512 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: Every politician needs to start dressing like Aaron Brockovich. Yes, 513 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: why not. I would love to see that. But I mean, 514 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: like that's that's what's sort of like so infuriating. Is that, 515 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: like it's so simple. It's like you just you get 516 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: your you get your hymnal from your donors, and then 517 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: you have to sing the songs that they say. Yeah, 518 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: like you see it with with the messaging around inflation 519 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,719 Speaker 1: like that was supposed to swing the whole election, and 520 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: it didn't really because people understood like all of the 521 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: stuff about like well Biden giving money to you the 522 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: voter is what caused this pain. This inflation like that 523 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: it resonated something. It was like a fifty fifty split 524 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: basically on inflation, but it wasn't like the thing that 525 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: swung the election. And by the way, the like pre 526 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: electoral like analysis that they got was from Larry Summers, 527 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: who may remember as the president of Harvard, who was 528 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: like flying on the Lolite express that we covered when 529 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about how Harvard. Yeah, it's basically a bastion 530 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: of wealth protectionism and not liberal intellectualism. But anyways, like 531 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: the the big one is just like they're all these 532 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: very popular progressive policies that we keep seeing, like we 533 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: making abortionate illegal is wildly unpopular, and that does seem 534 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: to be the one that the mainstream media is letting 535 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: it Like they're letting that message in that Okay, the 536 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: you know what, what the extremist Republican position and action 537 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: now on abortion is cost them this election, But they're 538 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: not like covering the fact that, like gun control is popular, 539 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: and like voters represented that white supremacy is unpopular, and 540 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: voters represented that in some places, people don't think healthcare 541 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: should bankrupt you. Yeah, yeah, and like that's another wild 542 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: thing to just I just wanted to talk about all 543 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: the attacks that teachers are under and like critical race 544 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: theory and all this culture war bullshit. There were a 545 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: lot of bills that passed that were increasing funding to 546 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: public schools. So despite all that, like you weren't like 547 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: despite me, like no, we gotta we gotta cut this 548 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: ship off and privatize everything. Most people are like no, no, no, 549 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: we like that, take take that more money for them. Yeah, 550 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: pro choice measures swept at the ballot box. Progressives one 551 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: with ballot measures that support policies like raising the minimum 552 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: wage and taxing the rich. Just everywhere across the country, 553 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: a bunch of like progressive House candidates one, but like 554 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: aren't being covered summarily in Pennsylvania, Delia Ramirez in Illinois. 555 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: There's like a bunch of these Greg Cassar in Texas, 556 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: like a you know, these populous candidates are winning in Texas. 557 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: It seems like these are the surprising results that they 558 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: would cover if they didn't have some other agenda. I 559 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: can't quite put my finger on it right pro collective 560 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: bargaining measures one, legalized cannabis one. Like measures for rent 561 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: control one everywhere They fucking one in Orange County, Florida, 562 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: like rent control. Rent control is popular in Florida. You 563 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: think that would be like the one of the big takeaways. 564 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: It's like, help people because they're being harmed by massive corporations, 565 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: and like they it's a very straightforward message that they 566 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: seem to be willfully fucking up at places are they 567 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: are because again, it's a consolidation of our media and everything, 568 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: and it's all being ran by a very specific kind 569 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: of person in a very specific socio economic situation with 570 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 1: a very specific perspective. And that's I mean, honestly, that's 571 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: that's why I like people like candidates who aren't his 572 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: tethered to like the old school like political machine of 573 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: using corporate dollars and things like that, are speaking more 574 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: freely than the ones that are like born from it. 575 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: And that's I think that's the balancing act of d 576 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: n C is also probably gonna look at too. It's like, dude, 577 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: you get too many of these populaces in here. We're 578 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: like we're like a couple. You know. Congress is away 579 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: from like real like actually delivering for people at the 580 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 1: expense of like profits. And I think that's what will 581 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,839 Speaker 1: be interesting too, because there's a lot of analysis about 582 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 1: how there was a lot of success in the suburbs 583 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: and suburban voters going to Trump, but a lot of 584 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: suburban voters tend to be like upper addle middle class 585 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: and maybe look at the economy way different than these 586 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: other people, these other voters that the Democrats are also 587 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: trying to court, which are like like workers laborers who 588 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: are like looking at how like the economy is affecting 589 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: them and have a like maybe probably a more populist 590 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: agenda than the people in the suburbs. So how are 591 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: they going to balance all those things? And you feel 592 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: like they're gonna probably just shy away from going more populous. 593 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: But I don't know. I mean, maybe they found a 594 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: way to be like we can do a little bit 595 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: of that stuff while still like wreaking and or generating 596 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,280 Speaker 1: massive money and not completely just you know, knee capping 597 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 1: in industry because we decided people need free medicine or 598 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,360 Speaker 1: some wacky ship like that. Does populist just mean like 599 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: anti corporate and like humanitarian like like that. It feels 600 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: like it's just like, yeah, I don't, I don't know. 601 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: It's people, you mean populous interchangeably to refer to Trump 602 00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: and then policies of like rent control. It's just it's 603 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 1: just appeal to normal people. That's all it is. It's 604 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: just normal. So that's all subjective, right, But I think 605 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: what Trump he was being like as an outsider in sixteen, 606 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 1: it was great popes, like we got to get these 607 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 1: like nobody's making money. These prescription drugs are way too 608 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,800 Speaker 1: like he did. He was talking to a lot a 609 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 1: lot of that ship. And so but then got in, 610 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,320 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm broke and I have bills. Y'all 611 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: have a friend, a friend who like works in finance 612 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 1: from like you know, a friend that I went to 613 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,879 Speaker 1: school with and he heard our podcast and was like, oh, 614 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: I had no idea you were so populist. And I 615 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: was like, what does that mean? Yeah? Is that? I 616 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: think that is like a slur in that realm, right, 617 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: is like the idea that well, you're just saying what 618 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: people want to hear, and it's like, well, they wanted 619 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,800 Speaker 1: to hear it because they're not stupid and it helps 620 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: them and there are like clear ways that people can 621 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 1: help themselves through politics that fucking everyone else is ignoring, 622 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: like in the mainstream media. Right. Yes, it really is 623 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: like that thing where like, yeah, you're I don't know 624 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: how to put it. Like I feel like back in 625 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: the day, like I would I would be wanted to 626 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 1: date somebody and then like are you like you know, 627 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: they tell me like I'm not happy in the relationship. 628 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's that's messed up, and they 629 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: what's happening, Oh they don't do this and don't go, 630 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: oh that's that's messed up. Then you get a call 631 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: Hey man, why are you talking shit to me? Like 632 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: talking about me tomorrow to my girlfriend was like what 633 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: I just They literally just said what was going on? 634 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: And I agreed. I wasn't generating some other narrative. You're 635 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 1: just getting angry at the fact that objectively the situation 636 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: is not good and someone describing it is somehow Now 637 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: this like underhanded thing rather than for like the parties 638 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: in power understanding their messages aren't resonating. The status quo 639 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: is absolute violence in death, and that's how most people 640 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: see it. So you come out here talking that same thing, 641 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,280 Speaker 1: they go, oh, that's death and destruct that's death and destruction. Yeah, 642 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: that's not solutions like someone who's and I think that's 643 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: all it is. People just want you to come and 644 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 1: be like, here's the problem. Here's the solution, Republicans, right now, 645 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: just go here's the fucking problem. You' all right, Yeah, 646 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: it's just well, then the New York Times doesn't have 647 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: a single like they have a columnist who's willing to 648 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: say fucking everything. They have a columnist who's willing to 649 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: be like being a traditional Catholic is actually punk rock 650 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: and you know, like just the wildest ship, like loving 651 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 1: the pope is the most punk rock thing you can 652 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: do today, and they don't have somebody who's willing to 653 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 1: be like all right, so like Democratic voters like came 654 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:54,280 Speaker 1: out in force voted for Democrats and said that they're 655 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: really frustrated, like an ex oponent, they said, they're really 656 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 1: frustrated with the Democrat like with Joe Biden. So like 657 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 1: there's a clear message here. They vote for, you know, 658 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: progressive policies and they're frustrated with the existing thing. Like 659 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 1: what wouldn't it suggest that, like it would make sense 660 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 1: for the Democratic Party to like shift to more progressive 661 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: policies and like being more straightforwardly like helpful to people 662 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: and humanitarian. Um, they don't have a single columnist who 663 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: make who makes that argument. Is pretty well, just thinking 664 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 1: about how much is brewing in Florida right now? Is 665 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: does Trump still live there? Oh yeah, I think he 666 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: refuses to even leave when a tropical storm is coming. 667 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: As of the last week, I'll nucas, let's take a 668 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:53,879 Speaker 1: quick break, we'll be right back, and we're back. And 669 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: the Republicans, y'all, I mean, you know, for all the 670 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 1: all the chaos that's going around, they really they should 671 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 1: just change their name to the fucking Knife Party at 672 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 1: this point, because the republic can'ts yeah about that fucking 673 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: windmill on them, Matt, please polsterize them right there with 674 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, but like like red Graves alright, Vanessa Redgrave, Yeah, 675 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 1: all right, right now, the Party of Personal Personal Responsibility 676 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: wants fuck all to do with any concept of responsibility 677 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: to do with the mid terms, Although it should be 678 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,800 Speaker 1: noted that the Republicans look like they will have around 679 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 1: a two seat majority in the House with current projections. 680 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 1: There's still stuff that's up in the air, but that 681 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,319 Speaker 1: sort of seems like where things are gonna land. And 682 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: also it should be noted that over the weekend the 683 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: Democrats were able to you know, solidify the majority in 684 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,359 Speaker 1: the Senate. Would the run being just a little bit 685 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,319 Speaker 1: of a one just a little icing on top of 686 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 1: the cherry, if that's how I don't think. But let's 687 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 1: check in with some of the saltier beings on the right. 688 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 1: First up, Sarah Palin. She is just just going out 689 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: the the party itself for letting her be herself. She 690 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 1: put this i G post that this Daily Beast or 691 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: this article The Independent describes as in a conspiracy. In 692 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,240 Speaker 1: instagram post, miss Palin blamed the quote Kaca Mami ranked 693 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 1: choice voting system Senator Lisa Murkowski and the quote dark 694 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 1: dysfunctional GOP machine after she was seemingly trounced by Democrat 695 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 1: Mary Poltola for a second time in three months. Shout 696 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,239 Speaker 1: out to Mary. Uh goes on to say, quote, this 697 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 1: is from Sarah Palin. The GOP establishment deserves losses until 698 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 1: it's willing to fight for what is right. So we 699 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,320 Speaker 1: have somebody saying they didn't let me be maga enough, 700 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,800 Speaker 1: and they're like, that was the problem. They were trying 701 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: to they were trying to unmaga you. But go off, Sarah. 702 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 1: It's fine. It's just I keep forgetting she exists. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 703 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 1: I think right because when she comes back there like, 704 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: oh my god, you throw back meme. All right, I 705 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: guess we'll see what happens. Chris Christie, who on a 706 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 1: given day could have a take that makes him sound 707 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,800 Speaker 1: like Don Junior or James Carville, depending on how he's feeling. 708 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: You never know, because he's he's so you know, flip floppy. 709 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 1: He was back on his anti Trump ship. He said, 710 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 1: quote almost every one of these Trump endorsed candidates that 711 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 1: you see in competitive states has lost. It's a huge 712 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 1: loss for Trump, and again it shows that his political 713 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 1: instincts are not about the party, they're not about the country, 714 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 1: They're about him. Yeah, but y'all knew. You've been saying 715 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: the same thing for since. Okay, everyone knows this. Everyone 716 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: knows this. The question is is whether or not you 717 00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,040 Speaker 1: are complicit and allowing him to continue to do it. 718 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,920 Speaker 1: I mean everyone, everyone knows what he is, and everyone 719 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,919 Speaker 1: knows that his political instincts are completely about self preservation. 720 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: And whenever he loses, everyone's like, oh, what a loser. Huh, 721 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: could never be me? And then he wins something and 722 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: be like, I love you master. It's just like a 723 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: spineless bunch of fox like. And there's the actor Jamal Booie. 724 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's who pronounced this last name, 725 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 1: but in the New York Times last week wrote about 726 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: like this is really this is before the election. But 727 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: it's like, doesn't have to be this way. You don't 728 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 1: have to be an election denier to like you just 729 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 1: you could just choose not to be. You chose to be, Like, 730 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,919 Speaker 1: it's your choice of sucking assholes. They have a real 731 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,960 Speaker 1: problem because they already are like a party that's willing 732 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 1: to say anything to anyone, no matter what it means. 733 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 1: And because of that, no one has a sense of center, 734 00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 1: like at all, just like you have no shame. Yeah, 735 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,399 Speaker 1: for sure, they're all like these they're all creatures. They're 736 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 1: like organisms and this like nebulous thing and they're like, 737 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 1: where are we today? Fashionist or super Christian? And we 738 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:17,799 Speaker 1: care about baby this, you know, like and so I 739 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 1: think you should do a whole podcast as it's a 740 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,840 Speaker 1: visit audio visual experience. You gotta see my my what 741 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 1: my Celia on the out? Thank you so much. I 742 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:36,720 Speaker 1: don't have a flagellum if you are curious with Celia Celia. 743 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,400 Speaker 1: But you know, so like for example, at least Aphonic 744 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 1: and Jade Vance, they're already endorsing Trump for four even 745 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 1: though as of this recording and when they gave the endorsement, 746 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,840 Speaker 1: Trump has not ran for has not announced his you know, 747 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 1: his candidacy, although we believe that's going to happen Tuesday, 748 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 1: the day you hear this, so who knows, get ready 749 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: for that. But it's just he's a you know. What's 750 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,160 Speaker 1: interesting is like Trump is they he's really hard to 751 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 1: deal with because he doesn't he doesn't conform to anything 752 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: they're used to because like he's dumb, but also has 753 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 1: an unseddeningly good instinct for amassing influence. So and every 754 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 1: year he gets more erratic, he gets like less cunning, 755 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,399 Speaker 1: like in the way they're like, oh, that's a finesse thing. 756 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 1: He's just like just the mass just completely comes off 757 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 1: more and more and more. But the establishment parties are 758 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 1: the establishment figures in the party like look on as 759 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,399 Speaker 1: if he's like this pokemon on his way to it's 760 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 1: like final powerful form, and they just kind of stare 761 00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,960 Speaker 1: and do nothing. And honestly, the fact that they didn't 762 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 1: fucking impeach him after January six, they basically hit him 763 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 1: with the Gamma rays that made Bruce Banner of the 764 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 1: Hulk at that point, because now you've fully been like, yo, 765 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,760 Speaker 1: you had your shot right there, and now you're stuck 766 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 1: with him, and he's become the brand, and now anybody 767 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,799 Speaker 1: who wants to stop him is basically saying, I'm diametrically 768 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:02,319 Speaker 1: opposed to the brand and go ahead, like let's see 769 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 1: some fireworks. Then that's part of the cynicism that I 770 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 1: was saying this overrated. I feel like it's this idea 771 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,920 Speaker 1: that everything is fucking inevitable, Like he oh, he's inevitable. 772 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,919 Speaker 1: You're like, no, he's not. We could just you could 773 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,799 Speaker 1: just not stare, you could just not Gamma ray him. 774 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 1: You could just make a different fucking decision. And and instead, 775 00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 1: it's just it's so disempowered or something. It's just so 776 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:30,080 Speaker 1: so fucking cynical. It's just about money. Maybe disempowers wrong thing, 777 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 1: because it's all about power anyways, well powers of people 778 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 1: who actually do have the power to do something. If 779 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:40,200 Speaker 1: you're a Republican in the House or Senate during January six, 780 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 1: you had the power to not gammoray him, to not 781 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 1: make him like above the law, and you didn't. And 782 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,840 Speaker 1: so now everyone else was right there. Yeah, Mitch McConnell 783 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,360 Speaker 1: was right there, and throughout the whole mid terms he was. 784 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,320 Speaker 1: He was like, man, we have a Senate quality problem. Yeah, motherfucker, 785 00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 1: because you're not challenging any of Trump's weirdo picks and 786 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,879 Speaker 1: you like you're going against you spend all this time 787 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: being the grim Reaper and bringing all these majorities to 788 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:05,920 Speaker 1: the Senate and then this guy just comes. It's like 789 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 1: we need more people who deny the election from two 790 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 1: years ago and they're like, uh, that's not the best. Also, 791 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,320 Speaker 1: the people you're running in Arizona for Governor Doug Doocey, 792 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,440 Speaker 1: he could just go for re election and have a 793 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 1: better chance at winning than a Democrat. Just it looks 794 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 1: like is about to happen because Carrie Lake again is 795 00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 1: like fashionist, real housewife like president. Yeah, well she's just 796 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 1: made of vassolinus what I assume, but vascinating on the lens, 797 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 1: like she's nice soft bloom. There's always a nice bloom 798 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 1: around her. Because I'll give it to her. She was 799 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,759 Speaker 1: like a TV anchor person. She understands lighting unlike any 800 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,400 Speaker 1: of these other people, because every time she was on 801 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,279 Speaker 1: TV she had perfect fucking lighting.

The rage Americans are feeling across this country. 821 00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 1: The rage that I'm feeling, there are almost not words 822 00:48:56,239 --> 00:49:00,440 Speaker 1: to describe it, because this opportunity was screw it up. 823 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 1: It was screwed up badly, and the people are gonna 824 00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,319 Speaker 1: pay the price, or the American people the country is 825 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:10,319 Speaker 1: screwed for the next four years because of this. We're 826 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:14,280 Speaker 1: gonna see horrible left wing judges confirmed for the next 827 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,840 Speaker 1: two years.
