Speaker 1: intact with Elling's worth as it's going on, baby you
Speaker 1: didging maybe what's going on? I mean that that very
Speaker 1: very well could have been the case, except last time
Speaker 1: you had the duck out last minute and I was
Speaker 1: here and then you came back and so so I
Speaker 1: brought you back. This time brought you back. It's my
Speaker 1: first episode back. I was like, we can't, we can't
Speaker 1: do this again. This can't be a third time. I love.
Speaker 1: How are things in the d ever? Since you know
Speaker 1: the game just you know, launched scud missiles at the
Speaker 1: city of Detroit with that weird do you see do
Speaker 1: you see that black didn't let's oh, I'm so most
Speaker 1: people haven't because dude, I'm old and like dis records
Speaker 1: for the most part. Yeah, I'm just like I don't care,
Speaker 1: like y'all a girl all y'all got more money than me.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to hear about it. It
Speaker 1: was just sad we were talking about when it came out.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is the most transparently thirsty, like distracted, like,
Speaker 1: hey man, vaporized me. Please over here. I feel like
Speaker 1: that's that's the that's the track record for the game, though,
Speaker 1: isn't it just to be like I'm stirring the pot y'all?
Speaker 1: But in Madden Him the City of Detroit, he came out.
Speaker 1: He dropped a track called the Black Slim Shade. He
Speaker 1: coming after Eminem all kinds of wild. Wait wait, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry I didn't know the name of but I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about like gunplay, he's talking about kidnapping Haley.
Speaker 1: Then there's like they had this little white girl back
Speaker 1: and like, dad, I'm scared, like like an Eminem track
Speaker 1: and then listen to the end. The FBI probably couldn't
Speaker 1: raid him, knew like they just did the former president
Speaker 1: of the United States, Like, what are you talking about.
Speaker 1: You're not doing nothing, You're not running up Okay, But
Speaker 1: then he said, then there's this other part where the
Speaker 1: conceit of it is he's taking an uber to Eminem's house,
Speaker 1: but the uper driver is stands younger brother from the songs, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: my brother was a really big fan of him. It's like, so,
Speaker 1: you know, the ship is so all over the place.
Speaker 1: It sounds like it's just like he had a daydream
Speaker 1: about an Eminem song and like just wanted to write it,
Speaker 1: like right, it sounds like he's like inspired by Eminem
Speaker 1: more than he I'm sure, you know. Way Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: a lot of the rhyme, like the rhyme schemes and
Speaker 1: stuff are very martially, but it's not at the level
Speaker 1: of him. So it just sounds like a school project.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was just gonna say, a creative writing
Speaker 1: project from like right after the second Marshall Mathers will be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the description to that is so goofy that I never
Speaker 1: want to hear it, Like, I just want to live
Speaker 1: off of people describing know how long it is? Seven minutes,
Speaker 1: ten and a half minutes, Oh my God, it sounds
Speaker 1: like it's worth every every second anyway. It's wild. I'm like,
Speaker 1: it shows you too. Like even the audience that's for
Speaker 1: like older millennial hip hop fans, we're even like, yo, bro,
Speaker 1: we're we're we don't have any come for them. So
Speaker 1: I want to listen. I listened to an Adelic song
Speaker 1: that long, and I think we just we've grown out
Speaker 1: of the beef transparent beef phase as adults. You know,
Speaker 1: we have my my my ego is not like the
Speaker 1: you know, driven by like the reputation that either one
Speaker 1: of these guys. It was just like, I don't y'all
Speaker 1: got more money to me, Man, give me some money game,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to survive. Please care about your beef? All right, Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
Speaker 1: couple of things we're talking about today. We're gonna check
Speaker 1: in with January six two point oh, the raid on
Speaker 1: mar A Lago, top secret document being smuggled, maybe planted,
Speaker 1: probably if he asked me. I've been mostly tuned into
Speaker 1: Fox since i've been out, so but yeah, so we'll we'll,
Speaker 1: we'll check him with that mile is gonna tell me
Speaker 1: all everything I missed. I'm gonna brush your hair and
Speaker 1: tell you all about it, and check out with Sarah
Speaker 1: Palin because she is back in the news trying to
Speaker 1: run for Congress to replace a House representative who died
Speaker 1: last year and who once held a knife to John
Speaker 1: Bayner's throat. You know he don Young regularly keeps a
Speaker 1: blade on him. He former Speaker John Bayner against a
Speaker 1: wall and held a knife to his throat during a
Speaker 1: heated debate about earmarks. That's like pulling a knife out
Speaker 1: and like kind of holding it menacingly is but putting
Speaker 1: it to I don't know. I wasn't I wasn't ready
Speaker 1: for that little detail in the story. Oh yeah, wait
Speaker 1: when we get there, you got to hear the recap moment.
Speaker 1: It's all of that plenty more. But first, Illingsworth, we'd
Speaker 1: like to ask our guest, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history? Oh, my search history? Recently? What did I
Speaker 1: look up? I looked up stuff about the aces quiz
Speaker 1: the Aces? What is it? How do I describe it?
Speaker 1: At adverse childhood experiences? I've been, you know, I've been,
Speaker 1: I've been doing some self soul searching, and I recently
Speaker 1: like started back in the therapy and I was like,
Speaker 1: I heard about this ACES quiz. I was let me,
Speaker 1: let me take the ACES quiz and let me tell
Speaker 1: you guys, I passed it. I got a six out
Speaker 1: of ten. So that means I'm I'm I'm real fucked
Speaker 1: up adverse. So you came in first, we all, we all,
Speaker 1: we all that wavebe But you know what, that's the
Speaker 1: that's that's one. You know, most people want to be
Speaker 1: in the fucking dark about the ship they've been through.
Speaker 1: And then I confused when they act like patterns out constantly.
Speaker 1: They're like, I don't know what's wrong. It's like little,
Speaker 1: let's look back in time for a second and forgive
Speaker 1: certain things about the past. For sure. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it got it got brought to my attention. For me,
Speaker 1: I was talking with a friend and like a conflict
Speaker 1: came up in the conversation and I kind of like
Speaker 1: became ultra defensive and shut down. And then I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: like later, like damn, I shouldn't have stopped going to
Speaker 1: therapy like a year ago, right, That wasn't that wasn't smart.
Speaker 1: So now we're back yeah for sure. Yeah, that's that
Speaker 1: was in the search history. I remember when I took
Speaker 1: the alcoholism test, like it's like questions and I thought,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be drinks. I did. I did decide to
Speaker 1: take a drink with each you know, just loosen myself up,
Speaker 1: get myself ready for it. And I was like, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be a nail biter, like I think you
Speaker 1: know it's been. And then I looked at the results
Speaker 1: and I was like sixteen out of twenty one and
Speaker 1: they were like, if you've answered more than two of these,
Speaker 1: you you have a problem. I was like, and that's
Speaker 1: when I stopped drinking. Yeah, those are the moments. Yeah,
Speaker 1: moment well, honestly, you know when you get like hit
Speaker 1: with that like self awareness hammer like straight to the
Speaker 1: dome and you're like yeah, I mean I knew, but
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, this test was like like somehow.
Speaker 1: I was like like, oh, definitely, I definitely have a problem.
Speaker 1: The end, you're like, okay, click here for results and
Speaker 1: just say come on, man, you know you know what
Speaker 1: it is. You know what's uh what something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated? Definitely? Uh Jordan Peele's new movie Nope. I
Speaker 1: feel like it's underrated. I think that movie is super dope.
Speaker 1: I was in the theater doing finger guns the whole time,
Speaker 1: and so many parts of it because they had so
Speaker 1: many like cool like mergings of of influences and genres
Speaker 1: and styles. I was like, Oh, this movie is great.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, when the lights went up,
Speaker 1: I could audibly hear people talking about like, I don't
Speaker 1: know about this one, what's going on with this one?
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm just in my seat seething because I'm like, yo,
Speaker 1: it's not supposed to be get out, it's not supposed
Speaker 1: to be us. It's a whole different movie. Enjoyed the
Speaker 1: movie for what it is. Let go of your expectations.
Speaker 1: Get into it. Brother. They're like, what it means black Cowboy.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I'm you know. So, I've been seeing
Speaker 1: a whole lot of mixed reviews about it from various sources,
Speaker 1: but I love the movie. I think people should go
Speaker 1: see that movie for sure, right right right absolutely. I'm
Speaker 1: waiting to go, uh maybe in the next couple of
Speaker 1: weekends or something. I seem sup to go with my wife,
Speaker 1: But that's like burning a hole in my pocket. If
Speaker 1: I had a ticket, like he let me go to
Speaker 1: see this one. Yeah, I can't wait, And it really
Speaker 1: has been divided wild. I was telling a group of
Speaker 1: friends and people were splitting that group and people who
Speaker 1: were like even like, I know it's a different film.
Speaker 1: It's like I'm just thinking, like could it have been better?
Speaker 1: Even as a genre thing? I was like, Okay, you
Speaker 1: know what, I just want to talk to people who
Speaker 1: are like I saw people immediately and hate mode, like
Speaker 1: fresh out of the theater scene like nope, like nope, truly.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was so crazy. I didn't expect that, you know,
Speaker 1: but I enjoyed the movie, so jokes on them, Hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so enjoyable. There's so much good stuff in it.
Speaker 1: Like I can see a criticism that it's like not
Speaker 1: as coherent as his other ones, because like there's just
Speaker 1: like a lot of cool ideas, but also like doesn't
Speaker 1: need to be here and he's like an artist, you know,
Speaker 1: he's putting things out there. But yeah, I agree like it.
Speaker 1: People after the movie, like while walking down the escalator,
Speaker 1: we we're like I didn't know what he was saying
Speaker 1: the time. I couldn't understand him, so wait the character
Speaker 1: or yeah, what are we talking to you. Oh no,
Speaker 1: like literally I cannot. Oh wow that one. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: dialect was that? Oh my god? I mean I think
Speaker 1: he's a good actor, but I didn't I didn't know
Speaker 1: what he was saying. But that movie is great. Everybody
Speaker 1: should go check it out. What else is out in movies?
Speaker 1: I feel like they stopped releasing movies after Top Gun
Speaker 1: came out. There, we did it, you were good until nope,
Speaker 1: there was there was just a like article about how
Speaker 1: what do you call that? August is like very not
Speaker 1: much going on in August. Wait, wait, you know what
Speaker 1: I saw? I saw Bullet Train is out? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: Bullet Train came out. I did I did see that.
Speaker 1: That was okay, Yeah it was aggressively okay, yeah yeah, Hey,
Speaker 1: hey that's a perfect description. It is definitely aggressively. Okay. Extra.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you. How do y'all feel about
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt's acting in general? Like? What what? Like? He's
Speaker 1: like a vibe He's not an actor. He's like a
Speaker 1: vibes dealer. Word, We're on the same page. To me,
Speaker 1: I'm never like, damn, Brad Pitt fuckingbodied that role. I'm like,
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt has he contains multitudes and it just depends
Speaker 1: which one he pulls out of his back. My thing
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, Brad Pitt did not ruin this good movie. Tight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I don't mind because just like and I'm like, fine, cool, yeah,
Speaker 1: really he really is himself, you know, like we could
Speaker 1: be in the eighteen hundreds, we could be in the future. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: traveler And as I'm like, yeah, he said Brad Pitt
Speaker 1: with a with an accident. But I'm Brad exactly exactly
Speaker 1: is he eating throughout this like that? That is one
Speaker 1: of the things that I usually need him to be doing.
Speaker 1: I do remember some eating, remember, I definitely remember some
Speaker 1: drinking of water. He definitely was drinking, staying hydrated, like
Speaker 1: to put things in his mouth. That's another one that's
Speaker 1: super divisive to people who love it or hate it.
Speaker 1: My mom was like, I love that ship. Wait while
Speaker 1: big her and Steve Hernandez Tough Guy of the Year,
Speaker 1: I saw him tweet he said he walked out of
Speaker 1: bullet Oh yeah, Steve her name. He tweeted. I had
Speaker 1: to retweet that with the tough guy gift because I
Speaker 1: was like, alright, they do. There are a lot of
Speaker 1: things that get wrapped up very neatly in that movie.
Speaker 1: I could I could see somebody like not digging that.
Speaker 1: But like walk out movie, Like the last movie I
Speaker 1: walked out of was like bad Johnny Knoxville movie where
Speaker 1: he was like in the Special Olympics, like yeah, like
Speaker 1: like like like but like this ship is fucked up.
Speaker 1: I gotta go. Yeah, yeah, I can't be here. But
Speaker 1: that like they like remember after the fact too, and
Speaker 1: they were trying to like really act like they were
Speaker 1: doing everybody is solid. They're like, yeah, but these people
Speaker 1: like now they got little careers going there, like they
Speaker 1: were doing press for the show. Yeah you're not. You're
Speaker 1: not like don't don't like lay your head at night
Speaker 1: on your big pillow. If I'm an ally and like
Speaker 1: better representation, like no, come on now. But yeah, the
Speaker 1: Bullet Train thing, I feel like it looks so campy
Speaker 1: that I can tell, like you you might either be
Speaker 1: piste off because it's so camp or you can accept
Speaker 1: that and be like, I don't know, fine, fun it was,
Speaker 1: you know, it's an airplane movie, but yeah, yeah for sure.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is overrated? Overrated? Well, I
Speaker 1: guess as we're all movies I'm just stick with movies.
Speaker 1: The movie Pray. Have y'all seen that? The Newest? No,
Speaker 1: not yet? Into the Predator. You always come with great record,
Speaker 1: I feel like everything. Actually, remember Ellingsworth every time you
Speaker 1: come on. Your overs and unders are usually ship you're
Speaker 1: watching because you were talking about Resident Alien last time,
Speaker 1: weren't you. No, I was talking about raised by wolves,
Speaker 1: which they can. Okay, my bad, I don't need to
Speaker 1: digress back to No. No, it's no, it's it's I'm
Speaker 1: not familiar with that, but I'm gonna ask you about
Speaker 1: that afterwards. Probably was somebody okay, yeah, but but yeah,
Speaker 1: that that that Prate movie. I'm not digging it. Have
Speaker 1: you seen it? Jack? I haven't. No, I have it
Speaker 1: downloaded on my phone and have not watched it. Was
Speaker 1: planning to, Yeah, I won't. I won't be like spoiler
Speaker 1: or anything. I like. Watch it now. There's so much
Speaker 1: to watch. That's fine, man, that's fine. All I need
Speaker 1: is one person to not like a thing, and they're
Speaker 1: just blindly trust me. Don't just blindly now. But like
Speaker 1: as far as like The Predator goes, you know, as
Speaker 1: far as like the movies that are ingrained in my
Speaker 1: mind is part one and part two because I am
Speaker 1: of a certain age. But as far as Prey goes,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's just like a bad rehash of
Speaker 1: part one and they even reuse like certain dialogue and
Speaker 1: certain situations, and it's just like, man, like we saw
Speaker 1: this movie already with characters that were not this flat.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like this the CG, the
Speaker 1: CG in the movie is a kind of an abomination,
Speaker 1: Like it looks like a c W show, And I
Speaker 1: know for a lot of people, they're like, they might
Speaker 1: be like, what's wrong with that? I love c W shows,
Speaker 1: But we all know that sometimes we put on the
Speaker 1: TV for comfort and we know what we're watching this
Speaker 1: junk and is some junk. I'm telling you, we got real.
Speaker 1: I feel like yesterday they loved it. I love seeing
Speaker 1: fucking French fur trappers get just mutilated through like I
Speaker 1: love that that That's fine. The execution to me was
Speaker 1: very poor. I feel like that movie have been done
Speaker 1: way better and it but like not even good, not
Speaker 1: not like nas Tacos. I made three or two. I
Speaker 1: made three attempts to watch this. First two attempts I
Speaker 1: fell asleep twice. The visual visual night will just free
Speaker 1: prat who were asking me about it, Like, uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I do not do not recommend. If you
Speaker 1: want to watch the Predator movie, watch the first one,
Speaker 1: especially if you've never seen anything from the Predator franchise. Predator.
Speaker 1: Just go in order, Just go in order. The first
Speaker 1: one is great film. Like, if that's not a Criterion
Speaker 1: collection entry, it needs to be yesterday. That's a that's
Speaker 1: like that. That's a movie that deserves the second. The
Speaker 1: ensemble cast, the ensemble cast, the score, the VFX in
Speaker 1: the original movie. It's like all all of these things,
Speaker 1: we're smashing pray. Pray is not smashing nothing like. The
Speaker 1: action is very like middling, predictable. Producer Justin's coming in
Speaker 1: saying he disagrees, So maybe I will have a divisive out.
Speaker 1: We can, we can, we can disagree. I still love you.
Speaker 1: It's all good. Yeah, nobody's bad for liking or not
Speaker 1: liking what they like. He said, he watched the non
Speaker 1: English version. I watched the English version. That doesn't have
Speaker 1: an effect on how I feel about it, Okay, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't have no like. So you're saying it sounds
Speaker 1: like all of the things that you're really the visuals
Speaker 1: and the action are like the concept as a Predator film,
Speaker 1: It's what it felt like he was lacking to you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like it was the writing, like it was all boring.
Speaker 1: It was it was it has already been done within
Speaker 1: the franchise. Is there a Predator movie that is under it? Like,
Speaker 1: are any of the Aliens versus or like the Predators?
Speaker 1: Are those any good? Because I I skipped those because
Speaker 1: they kind of I just I heard similar things that
Speaker 1: they were like kind of whack. But you know what,
Speaker 1: none of those alien versus Predator movies or like, I've
Speaker 1: haven't watched any of those in adulthood, so it's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't I can't honestly tell you about. Right.
Speaker 1: And then Adrian Brody, Yeah, who I immediately think of
Speaker 1: when I think of the Predator franchise, like who can
Speaker 1: we get to replace Arnold Schwarzenegger. Who's Adrian Brody? Who
Speaker 1: would be a match? You know what's wild? And one
Speaker 1: of these artistical is they have Predators ranked at number
Speaker 1: two of all the Predator films of all time, with
Speaker 1: Predator at one, Prey at three. Is that is Predators
Speaker 1: the one that had Laurence Fishburn in it as like yes,
Speaker 1: he's bad guy. You know what. That movie was kind
Speaker 1: of bad too, but like as far as like ensemble cast,
Speaker 1: like I give us some points for that, like it
Speaker 1: was it was entertaining on a couple of the kills,
Speaker 1: like well while browsing passed it on HBO. I feel
Speaker 1: like it was on HBO rotation as a kid, I've
Speaker 1: never even when Predator came out, it was always a
Speaker 1: comedy to me, Like I never fucked with Precor because
Speaker 1: I was like, this ship is dope. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: just want to hear Arnold scream like you sign of
Speaker 1: a bitch, Like there's so many lines in here. I'm like,
Speaker 1: he's like, what are you doing doing that idea? What
Speaker 1: are you doing? I'm like I remember watching as a
Speaker 1: kid and we would laugh for like, uh, that's very valid.
Speaker 1: Like everybody's also an integral to the enjoyment of that movie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people come with their own things. And also I love
Speaker 1: that like tidbit about how Jean Claude van dam was
Speaker 1: the o G in the pen and then little Soup
Speaker 1: didn't work out. Yeah, little French dude or Belgium, What
Speaker 1: do you tell a guy from Bell Muscles from Brussels.
Speaker 1: Muscles from Brussels. That's right, all right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break. We'll come back and we'll talk about another
Speaker 1: divisive thing. Uh, this raid on mar La though I'm
Speaker 1: not feeling it, guys, I'm not happy. The writing is flat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we're back, and Miles, you're calling this January six
Speaker 1: two point out? What's going on? You know? It's they're
Speaker 1: in a weird spot and they're doubling down on very
Speaker 1: dangerous rhetoric in the hopes to somehow skirt it or
Speaker 1: survived this one. You know, because like right now, we
Speaker 1: saw like Trump is ramping up the rhetoric to try
Speaker 1: and save himself. That's clear. We saw them like the
Speaker 1: end up like last week, started seeing that story that
Speaker 1: any evidence that was may have been found was planted.
Speaker 1: That was that wasn't there. We were fucking set up.
Speaker 1: And then Trump supposedly like leaked the search warrant through
Speaker 1: bright Bart. The bright Bart put out the search warrant
Speaker 1: basically dosing the FBI agents that were present at the raid,
Speaker 1: and people like, oh my god, fuck, is this what
Speaker 1: are y'all fucking doing? And then over the weekend, Trump
Speaker 1: went he went on fucking payless Twitter or truth social
Speaker 1: wherever the fun is called to rile up his followers
Speaker 1: again to go after the d O J FBI and
Speaker 1: then going full Q on us retweeting or read true thing,
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck amplifying a bunch of Q and on
Speaker 1: bullshit like over and over. So like he's it looks
Speaker 1: like he's trying to unite the five families, mean bullshit
Speaker 1: to try and like ride for him. So like when
Speaker 1: you look at this, you're like, oh, this is this
Speaker 1: is uh, this reeks of existential thirst and being shook.
Speaker 1: And you know, we hear like law enforcement of the
Speaker 1: weekend they said it's like they've they're facing an unprecedented
Speaker 1: amount of threats and they said they haven't felt this
Speaker 1: bad since June of so just to give you an
Speaker 1: idea of where they're at in their feelings. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they're receiving all kinds of threats. So you know, like
Speaker 1: when armed goons pulled up to an FBI office in
Speaker 1: Arizona with their camo and fucking a r S and ship,
Speaker 1: you know, gave a lot of credence to those people,
Speaker 1: being like, yeah, this looks like the build up to
Speaker 1: January six, like you got you got armed people who
Speaker 1: are now convinced of some other ship, which isn't like, hey,
Speaker 1: Trump lost the fucking election, or hey, this dude absconded
Speaker 1: with a bunch of fucking top secret like documents, and
Speaker 1: now it's all about you know, force and trying to
Speaker 1: get people super scared. And when you again look at
Speaker 1: all the things he did. He reached out to Merrick
Speaker 1: Garland's office, like you know, at the end of last week,
Speaker 1: I was saying basic basically asking what can I do
Speaker 1: to bring the heat down? It seemed like a clear message,
Speaker 1: which is like you don't want me to turn this
Speaker 1: ship up, right, Like what can I do to help
Speaker 1: you out? And now he's also saying like, you know,
Speaker 1: we've gotta we've gotta we've got to be more peaceful.
Speaker 1: But at the same time he's saying he says one
Speaker 1: thing and does the other. So it's a it's a
Speaker 1: very you know, chaotic situation. At the moment, is this,
Speaker 1: I mean, this feels like it's less electoral posturing and
Speaker 1: like trying to consolidate demographics and or like trying to
Speaker 1: get people who are already behind him to like do
Speaker 1: some wild ship right, ye, Like, yeah, I mean, what
Speaker 1: is what's his end? Yeah, I mean I guess that escalation.
Speaker 1: Escalation is his only mode, is just the next level.
Speaker 1: I mean, because I think in his mind he's like,
Speaker 1: if I stand down, this leads to him. I know
Speaker 1: where this leads. Like if I'm if I go along
Speaker 1: with it, then I have to go along with the
Speaker 1: legal process yep, versus the other side as well. At
Speaker 1: least this is like a a variable I can control,
Speaker 1: which is external chaos and see where that grows. And
Speaker 1: he's he's been yeah exactly, come to my rescue, Q
Speaker 1: and on where we go? On we go all to
Speaker 1: truth social sign up now refer to friends, get off
Speaker 1: your first bag of nutraceuticals from info Wars. But yeah,
Speaker 1: like it doesn't look great. And again the messaging is
Speaker 1: really all over the place. Like for a while last week,
Speaker 1: a lot of the Funky's and Trump's world, they were
Speaker 1: going along with the like ship was planted. You know,
Speaker 1: there's no fucking faith in anything, and it's all nihilism,
Speaker 1: an election type shit. But now there's like a little
Speaker 1: bit like people aren't kind of sticking to the script,
Speaker 1: like on Fox and friends. They were kind of being like, hey, everybody,
Speaker 1: you don't want smoke with the FBI. Uh, Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: can you do something about this? This is kind of
Speaker 1: fucking wacky, sir. Uh. And I'll play you that. This
Speaker 1: is old Steve Doocey trying to talk some sense, like
Speaker 1: he's kind of, you know, intimating you're not only very
Speaker 1: directly be like, you know, Trump, Blue lives matter right
Speaker 1: right right? Uh, and they're having trouble with that. It
Speaker 1: would be great for everybody to tamp down the rhetoric
Speaker 1: against the FBI because the FBI simply was doing what
Speaker 1: the d o J asked him to do. The Attorney
Speaker 1: General is the boss of the guy at the FBI,
Speaker 1: of all the people the FBI, so you know, with
Speaker 1: all of these threats going around, it would ultimately be
Speaker 1: great if the former president, who has always been a
Speaker 1: great supporter of law enforcement, opposed with a thousand police
Speaker 1: departments coast to coast, it would be great if he
Speaker 1: called for an end to the violent rhetoric against federal
Speaker 1: law enforcement, and in particular the FBI that was just
Speaker 1: doing their job, you know, just doing their jobs. Steve
Speaker 1: Nazis Wait now, wait, they're bad now, I mean, Blue
Speaker 1: Lives Matter, but but those guys are cerulean, so we
Speaker 1: don't like them. It's wild man like, it's like, I'm
Speaker 1: pro racism, not pro police. We just so that one was. Hey,
Speaker 1: remember like the police that were like had your back somewhere. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Remember there was like that whole thing, like, let's remember
Speaker 1: like what sides were on white supremacy and completely funk
Speaker 1: up the game here and try and turn people's you know,
Speaker 1: anger at the d o J. Laura Ingram. She went
Speaker 1: on a podcast and she basically said, I'm tired of
Speaker 1: this show. And she's like, I think people are tired
Speaker 1: of this ship. And I don't know if she will
Speaker 1: say this on her show, but she damn sure said
Speaker 1: this on the Crossing the Root or whatever the Truth
Speaker 1: with Lisa podcast. The episodes called crossing the Rubicon Little
Speaker 1: but listen to this moment this from a podcast where
Speaker 1: she's basically saying, I don't know, maybe we need somebody
Speaker 1: else again. I think people people conflate Trump with with
Speaker 1: the people's overall sense of happiness in the country. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, Donald Trump's been a friend of mine for
Speaker 1: twenty five years, and I I and I I'm always
Speaker 1: very open about this on my on my show. But
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see whether that's what the country wants.
Speaker 1: I mean, what the country country I think is so
Speaker 1: exhaust did they're exhausted by the battle, the constant battle
Speaker 1: that they they may believe that, well, maybe it's time
Speaker 1: to turn the page. If we can get someone who
Speaker 1: has all Trump's policies, who's not Trump. Right, so goes
Speaker 1: on to like maybe Rhan de Santis. She goes on
Speaker 1: to say quote and she she says, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter in the end, whether it's Trump making a
Speaker 1: populous conservative making a populous conservative point, or whether it's
Speaker 1: De Santis or someone like him. They're going to come
Speaker 1: full or against any Republican. It does because you you
Speaker 1: let the monster out. You can't put him back in
Speaker 1: the box. Like he's not going to not run. So
Speaker 1: and you think that de Santis is going to be
Speaker 1: able to beat him, He's going to demolish De Santis, Like,
Speaker 1: you are stuck with this motherfucker. And I don't feel
Speaker 1: sorry for you because you are tired. This is this
Speaker 1: is the monster that you made. And you know why
Speaker 1: they're tired because like all the pundits right, are smarter
Speaker 1: than Donald Trump, and they're like, this is not the
Speaker 1: way you play this ship full but you got me
Speaker 1: out here because I'm on team White supremacy having to
Speaker 1: be like this is actually genius, this dumb ship that
Speaker 1: he just said. And I bet you all are very
Speaker 1: tired of that because you're like, there's such a more
Speaker 1: tidy way to head towards autocracy than this. Well, they're
Speaker 1: like middle managers between Donald Trump and like their media
Speaker 1: bosses and the people who they are supposed to be
Speaker 1: talking to. And yeah, they they're they're in a tough position. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got it. Damn that that sucks for them, It
Speaker 1: really sucks, darnet. And we had this guy, Mike Turner
Speaker 1: from Ohio on Fried Do. He had a try He's
Speaker 1: he's this week's fucking boot liquor boot deep throat. He
Speaker 1: has a politician in his own right. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: his Twitter avatar should just be a mouth around a
Speaker 1: boot now and like the way he he is out
Speaker 1: he's like what Devin Nowonas was doing too, And he's like, Yo,
Speaker 1: this man is not smart enough to be trying to
Speaker 1: spin this ship. And also he's not prepared for the
Speaker 1: follow up questions when he goes to be like, everything's fine,
Speaker 1: he didn't do anything wrong. So the first time he
Speaker 1: came out was on Friday, and he said, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: you can get classified ship on your phone. Who knows
Speaker 1: what's actually classified anymore? And people are like, that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: What I mean that is like something that has I
Speaker 1: have thought, well, like I could probably get like you,
Speaker 1: I read it right now, find some weird ship. But
Speaker 1: right exactly. That was kind of his angle to the
Speaker 1: point that like, give me twenty minutes, I get you
Speaker 1: some missile code. How about here, how many how many
Speaker 1: numbers in the missile code? Okay, I got you four,
Speaker 1: but keep that low. So did you just provide the
Speaker 1: number four as the missile coade? Okay, here, here's the
Speaker 1: missile coaches four seven. We're gonna roll them out over
Speaker 1: the next five episodes. Ok yeah, exactly. Guys, listening to
Speaker 1: the first every episode, it's yeah, dude, we're giving out
Speaker 1: the coats. We're free on this show. But the next
Speaker 1: time he goes out, he goes on CNN, and you know,
Speaker 1: he should have known better because on CNN they weren't
Speaker 1: really given too much leeway to the people who are
Speaker 1: out here being like, WHOA, I don't know, maybe he
Speaker 1: was playingted. I mean some did, but this time Pamela
Speaker 1: Brown was like, hold on, man, you're you You were
Speaker 1: really gassed up over fucking Hillary Clinton's motherfucking emails. My man,
Speaker 1: what is Pamela Brown? What are we? We're on CNN,
Speaker 1: She's one of the anchors on CNN, and I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna let she's gonna read a quote from from from
Speaker 1: Mike Turner when when it was you know, her emails
Speaker 1: and then just a very simple question after um, you
Speaker 1: at the time indicated that you were outraged by her
Speaker 1: the way she handled her costs of information, saying, quote,
Speaker 1: Secretary Clinton can be held accountable for her extremely careless actions.
Speaker 1: So why don't you share that same concern with Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: who is now a private citizen taking fifteen boxes of
Speaker 1: documents from the White House, including classified documents, to the
Speaker 1: White House to go presidents. Why why was it concerning
Speaker 1: for you with Hillary Clinton and not now with Donald Trump? Sure, well,
Speaker 1: there are two different things. What Hillary Clinton, while she
Speaker 1: was Secretary of State had classified material about her classified
Speaker 1: communications traveling through her computer server in her house putting
Speaker 1: it at risk for any counter intelligence or any others
Speaker 1: who are are hacking into her materials, putting United States
Speaker 1: materials at risk in this. Okay, so already you're like,
Speaker 1: what this word salad traveling through the electricity, travels through wires,
Speaker 1: through computers? Story bought? Uh? Do you know that they
Speaker 1: are stealing copper wiring out of homes? That's how powerful
Speaker 1: the wires that are transmitting. In order to have that conversation,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to go back to what is the
Speaker 1: internet really? Even? Is it as soon as the tubes would? Yeah? Right,
Speaker 1: And that's why I think al Gore needs to you know,
Speaker 1: as the inventor of the Internet, he needs to answer
Speaker 1: some questions I think he needs. So he goes back
Speaker 1: to CNN where they ask you fucking follow up questions,
Speaker 1: and he he had another fucking predictable run in with
Speaker 1: Brianna Kyler, and this she just she bodied him with
Speaker 1: a yes or no question and just again, this is
Speaker 1: how unprepared this guy is and how exhausted all these
Speaker 1: Republicans are to try and be like spin away something
Speaker 1: that they were so raw rob about a while back.
Speaker 1: Do you take home documents marked special access. No, and
Speaker 1: yet you're casting down quite frankly, I've been in the
Speaker 1: Oval office um with the President. I'd be very surprised
Speaker 1: if he has actual documents at rice level immediate nation
Speaker 1: security threat. Well, the documents, just to be clear, several sets,
Speaker 1: and you're aware of that because you've seen the property received.
Speaker 1: You're casting doubt. You want information. You don't actually have
Speaker 1: that information on which to base that conclusion at this point,
Speaker 1: but you yourself would not say documents. He's like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, you never know at which point. But he
Speaker 1: even said She's like, okay, Holmie, do you take home?
Speaker 1: Because na, no, no, no, never did that. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to stay out of jail. Moving on, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of silence here, and I don't like it. Documents, Hey,
Speaker 1: I like when bulls start just swallowing syllables when they're
Speaker 1: He's like, curry documents. Uh. Oh, you should have heard
Speaker 1: when he said the stuff about it being classified. He
Speaker 1: kept clearing his throat like it was fucking Robert Durst
Speaker 1: and the fucking uh the jinks of course he killed.
Speaker 1: Of course he did played I'll just play this for
Speaker 1: you again. We played it briefly, but I just need
Speaker 1: you to hear when you try to be like, man,
Speaker 1: I mean, what what is what is classified? Even like, well,
Speaker 1: what do you what's the definition of a phone? Depends
Speaker 1: on what the nuclear information is. You can say nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1: But there are things that are highly highly classified. There
Speaker 1: as things that are not extremely classified but but are
Speaker 1: nonetheless classified. Um. The other aspect with respect to to
Speaker 1: access is we don't know what those documents are. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm asking the same question you are, Attorney General Garland,
Speaker 1: Director Ray. If that wasn't anyway, that's the same press
Speaker 1: garments that was still funny, like these are diet classified.
Speaker 1: This is a big, very very many, very different classified,
Speaker 1: right Claire. What classified is not always actually class Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a tall boy classified. You know, we're not talking
Speaker 1: about forties of classified. But this is the sort of
Speaker 1: state that they're in. And I think and then ran Paul.
Speaker 1: The best he could do is be like, maybe we
Speaker 1: need to get rid of the Espionage Act. Where it's like,
Speaker 1: so are you saying that's the best you can do?
Speaker 1: And so these next months are going to be really
Speaker 1: are fucking weeks. Who fucking knows, But it's clear that
Speaker 1: there's an extreme amount of anchor from the magazet or
Speaker 1: and it's very misplaced. The certain elements of the media
Speaker 1: are willing to keep going along with this misinformation that's
Speaker 1: only like exacerbating things, and Trump is just gonna like
Speaker 1: double down. We've seen what's clear sadly, people are willing
Speaker 1: to die for the mega brand. So it is going
Speaker 1: to be interesting like how this all shakes out, Like
Speaker 1: our millions of people going to double down along with Trump.
Speaker 1: I'm not entirely sure what that means, but right now
Speaker 1: what it's it's absolute chaos. And I think eventually they
Speaker 1: will coalesce around some conspiracy theory to help, you know,
Speaker 1: like rationalize whatever the funk they're gonna do. But right
Speaker 1: now they're having a little bit of trouble figure out
Speaker 1: what that. It is a really weird like it. It
Speaker 1: does seem to me less and less likely that they're
Speaker 1: going to let him like win the election, which I
Speaker 1: think he could if like he were allowed to like
Speaker 1: just get get a I don't know, tidal wave of
Speaker 1: support from like disaffected Americans and you know, racist Americans
Speaker 1: with misplaced anger and like, but it feels less and
Speaker 1: less like that's something that the establishment is going to
Speaker 1: allow to happen, and so like there's just a real
Speaker 1: like blank spot in my mind as to like where
Speaker 1: this goes, because it does like it feels like a
Speaker 1: lot of the media right now is like, well just
Speaker 1: say this is going to come through and people are gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, realize De Santis is the reasonable option, but
Speaker 1: that ship is not happening like that, it's just not happening.
Speaker 1: Like he's he's not stepping down. He will destroy De Santis.
Speaker 1: De Santis is like not, you know, he's still too
Speaker 1: much of like all the things that appeal to the
Speaker 1: media about the Santis are like the things that like
Speaker 1: we found out like these people don't give a funk
Speaker 1: about like the people who vote for Trump. So like
Speaker 1: we were still on this like collision course between him,
Speaker 1: you know, like maybe being arrested, maybe you know, just
Speaker 1: not being allowed like disqualified from voting, and like what
Speaker 1: is that gonna look like when you know, like I
Speaker 1: feel like that's that's where we're I mean, you're you're
Speaker 1: trying to erode trust in all the institutions. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: putting your installing people who are willing to be like
Speaker 1: I don't know what an election is I know, I
Speaker 1: like this white guy and that's and I was elected
Speaker 1: decide of that and that's you know, And slowly they
Speaker 1: want to have enough people to be like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: funk voting on this ship because we know we're right,
Speaker 1: because the thing that's wrong with this place is we
Speaker 1: don't like that people that don't look like us are
Speaker 1: being treated humanely. Yes, yea, and yeah and again. And
Speaker 1: I keep saying it's an abstract problem that these people
Speaker 1: are trying to solve, Like, you know, inequality isn't an
Speaker 1: abstract problem. I mean it is abstract, I guess, and
Speaker 1: you can people point a million fingers and directions on
Speaker 1: where it comes from. But solving it is like you
Speaker 1: can see a thing and you're like, oh, these people
Speaker 1: have less, they should have more, and there's a way
Speaker 1: to move towards that legislatively doing some ship like man,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to legislate that jolly ship, and people like
Speaker 1: it's fucking weird. That's why the people who are not
Speaker 1: into it look at it with such confusion. They're like,
Speaker 1: what the funk are they doing? Like this is so
Speaker 1: hypocrite e cool, It's like because they're trying to solve
Speaker 1: some ship with the weirdest tools, like they wanted to
Speaker 1: just be full blown fascism, but they still need to
Speaker 1: use like the levers of democracy. So everything looks absolutely
Speaker 1: upside down and people are scratching their head. But it's like, no, man,
Speaker 1: they're just trying to fucking flip the tables for this
Speaker 1: new game they want to play um and are doing
Speaker 1: it pretty well. So I think, you know, it requires
Speaker 1: people to be very attentive because yeah, like it's this,
Speaker 1: this attack isn't going to stop. And I think the
Speaker 1: more you know, people see, how like support dwindle or
Speaker 1: or increase for like third party stuff, the actions are
Speaker 1: only gonna get weirder. Because now Liz Cheney is talking
Speaker 1: about running a spoiler campaign in the election to split
Speaker 1: Trump's votes. I feel like she wouldn't split any Trump's votes.
Speaker 1: I feel like the the only way that a third
Speaker 1: party thing happens that would be effectively diminishing of his
Speaker 1: powers if he's not the Republican nominee because of some
Speaker 1: ruling you know, and the and then he comes as
Speaker 1: the third party and then like there is a de
Speaker 1: Santas Trump you know unity ticket. No. No, I mean
Speaker 1: like they're book like an election where they're both candidates,
Speaker 1: right right, right, yeah, they're but well we will see.
Speaker 1: We don't know the daily Again, we're talking like we
Speaker 1: might be dead before they you know, we're laughing on
Speaker 1: yesterday's episode, were like, what if the fucking secrets already out?
Speaker 1: People like, hey, y'all want you to see our new
Speaker 1: thing we've been working on the last eighteen months. Right,
Speaker 1: But again, I don't know. I mean, we we live
Speaker 1: in a world where on TV, like CNN, MSNBC, they're
Speaker 1: all like like some ships about to go down on
Speaker 1: Fox or like man Funck on fun Justice. I don't
Speaker 1: know like which side wins out. But you know, SMSNBC
Speaker 1: and CNN only go oh a lot. They love to
Speaker 1: go for ratings. But you know, again, I will believe
Speaker 1: there's consequences when I actually see them play out, because yeah, mhm,
Speaker 1: because this is America. All right. Well, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and then we'll come back and talk about
Speaker 1: a woman with whom a lot of people say this
Speaker 1: whole thing started, or at least they saw the they
Speaker 1: saw the beginnings of the whole, the whole fascism in
Speaker 1: America thing, starting with Sarah Palin will be right back
Speaker 1: and we're back. So, yeah, we have some bad news.
Speaker 1: We have an update on a previous story that we
Speaker 1: talked about in the past. We we mentioned that there
Speaker 1: was this race that was kind of wide open anybody
Speaker 1: could run in Alaska for the house, and Sarah Palin
Speaker 1: was running. And also running was a guy literally named
Speaker 1: Santa Claus who looked like Santa Claus lives in a
Speaker 1: small town in Alaska, is a socialist. I think he
Speaker 1: was like kind of cool in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1: He lost. He got smashed because she is a Hallmark
Speaker 1: movie villain come to life. So he got smashed. Sarah
Speaker 1: Palin moved forward and she got the endorsement of Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: so that that has been a good thing for Republican
Speaker 1: candidates in these midterm elections. So I think, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't. I haven't looked at the Vegas odds on
Speaker 1: this race, but I would say if she's not the favorite,
Speaker 1: it would be smart to bet on her because she
Speaker 1: I don't know his name recognition and Trump's endorsement. But
Speaker 1: just to step back, they are running to fill the
Speaker 1: seat vacated by Don Young who died in March, and
Speaker 1: his best remembered as the congressman who kept whipping out
Speaker 1: a knife and threatening to stab people in the House
Speaker 1: of Representatives. Yeah, Don Young, I this is a direct
Speaker 1: quote from an article from The Hill. Representative Don Young
Speaker 1: once pinned former Speaker John Bayner against a wall and
Speaker 1: held a knife to his throat. This is completely blown
Speaker 1: out of proportion. Don Young. When he was alive, he
Speaker 1: went on this other congress person, Sean Duffy, he has
Speaker 1: like a podcast. He went on this podcast to talk
Speaker 1: about this moment. And when he talks about like what happened,
Speaker 1: he says, first of all, the blade was not open,
Speaker 1: so it wasn't a direct threat. That's what That was
Speaker 1: Don Young's explanation about putting the knife to Bayner's throat. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's it. That's a good point because I was wondering
Speaker 1: if he did like the TV show thing where he
Speaker 1: put the blade on the neck and let a little blood. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just like he's like, oh, you can't test it me
Speaker 1: a little bit. You don't want to win a wet
Speaker 1: T shirt contest. But then he goes on. So the
Speaker 1: guy Duffy was like, Okay, well what happened? Young R?
Speaker 1: In the podcast, he This is from this article. It's
Speaker 1: quote Young reached into his pocket, retrieved a knife, and
Speaker 1: re enacted the incident, using the bemused Wisconsin Republican as
Speaker 1: a stand in for Bayner. He crossed me, and I
Speaker 1: had a knife. It was like this, Young explained, holding
Speaker 1: the closed blade to Duffy's neck. It was ten inches long,
Speaker 1: and I went up to him and I said, don't
Speaker 1: you ever do that again. The blade was not open,
Speaker 1: so it wasn't a direct threat the second time. Second time,
Speaker 1: it would have been more than that. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's so funny, he did, reiterating again the blade was
Speaker 1: not open and so it was not a direct threat,
Speaker 1: reminding me of it Tim Robinson sketch like the wild Things.
Speaker 1: This is what's even better. Him and Bayner are really
Speaker 1: good friends. Okay. Don Young was the best man at
Speaker 1: John Bayner's wedding in that's because John Bayner is scared
Speaker 1: and he was like, if I make you the best
Speaker 1: man at my way, will you not kill me? Yeah?
Speaker 1: He says that He's like Young, it's like, I'll consider it,
Speaker 1: takes the blade away from his neck, best man. It
Speaker 1: makes me feel like they got the classic like chaotic
Speaker 1: friendship where it's like behind door is getting even more chaotic. Exactly.
Speaker 1: This is Vernon Maxwell trying to stab Kim with him
Speaker 1: in the locker room that we find out days later.
Speaker 1: But he said, this is how he describes his relationship
Speaker 1: with John Batterson. Quote. This was some of the friendly
Speaker 1: back and forth banner John and I had over the
Speaker 1: few decades. There's never anything serious. Had it been, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you would have heard about it a long time before. Now.
Speaker 1: Banter involves in life play in Alaska. Do you want
Speaker 1: to do you want to hear more knife play with
Speaker 1: Don Young? Okay? One time, yeah, that kind of do.
Speaker 1: Someone was like, yo, we heard this story. You went
Speaker 1: to like a dinner and like brought like multiple knives,
Speaker 1: and the guy at the same podcast host says, quote,
Speaker 1: do you actually carry your knives on the house floor?
Speaker 1: Don Young? Quote? Oh all the time. I don't go
Speaker 1: without them, and then definitely pressed him, Duffy, So you're
Speaker 1: breaking the law every day, Young, No, I'm not breaking
Speaker 1: the law. I think it's what you call survival law,
Speaker 1: Duffy or keeping the Congress safe? Young, Keeping the Congress safe.
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. How how much of y'all would have been.
Speaker 1: There is a knife in his coffin laying across his chest.
Speaker 1: He gotta gotta be he was, yeah, crossed across his
Speaker 1: chest like some fucked up superhero in the Sarcophagus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know how like in Sarcophagus, the sarcophic guy like
Speaker 1: on the outside, they got like the two things like
Speaker 1: the you know, like the Pharaoh. They're always got their
Speaker 1: arms crossed with two objects. Don Young got like two
Speaker 1: fucking QVC knives like machete. He's just down there with
Speaker 1: all the blades. Just yeah, so big, big, big pointy knife.
Speaker 1: The shoes to fill. Absolutely. This is also weird because
Speaker 1: they're so on the same day. The people are voting
Speaker 1: as to who replaces him for the remainder of his term,
Speaker 1: they're also voting for who should win the election after that,
Speaker 1: like the end. Conceivably, the two races could yield different results,
Speaker 1: which is very First, they have to decide who's who
Speaker 1: it takes over for the little rest of the term,
Speaker 1: while also who who are you going to vote for
Speaker 1: in November to then take fill the upcoming I'm coming
Speaker 1: and starting. You didn't vote for Santa Claus just to
Speaker 1: run the remainder of the term, like, come on, how
Speaker 1: that that would have been so perfect if it just
Speaker 1: give him a little runway, see what he could do.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna do him a little taste. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: Kimmel little taste. Man, you guys fucked up. So the
Speaker 1: media has cast this election as a test of pale
Speaker 1: and celebrity and Trump's influence since he endorsed her. This
Speaker 1: is actually like you you probably heard that Trump was
Speaker 1: like calling into rallies. Wow, wow, his house was being rated.
Speaker 1: Uh it was Palin rally when he made the quip
Speaker 1: just another day in paradise, as his house is being rated.
Speaker 1: He also thanked her for her time as vice president
Speaker 1: because you know, but your hard work as vice president.
Speaker 1: He said something to that effect, and I was like,
Speaker 1: but I mean did really like get it started when
Speaker 1: McCain gave her that little foothold and she was like
Speaker 1: off her game until they were like, all right, you
Speaker 1: can be racist, and she was like all right. And
Speaker 1: that's when like they started seeing numbers jump. And if
Speaker 1: McCain had just been willing to, you know, fully lean
Speaker 1: into it, they probably could have. I mean, he's he was,
Speaker 1: he was willing enough to be like what doesn't bother
Speaker 1: me most of the time. I mean, there was that
Speaker 1: one moment though, where you could tell it was like
Speaker 1: he really realized, oh this party is getting real sloppy.
Speaker 1: Was that one town hall and that old woman was like,
Speaker 1: I don't trust Obama because he's a Muslim, And he's like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 1: he was not a Muslim. I have a lot of respect,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't, you know, you don't just call
Speaker 1: somebody a Muslim exactly, Like clearly he quated, so he
Speaker 1: works with Jesus heavy, okay, right back. He's a good Christian, ma'am.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no no. That was my favorite part when no, no, no,
Speaker 1: yeah no, what you realized he was looking around like
Speaker 1: what the fun is on TV? Right now? It's sure
Speaker 1: running mate full yeah ship. He also trump woodally referred
Speaker 1: to the States ranked choice crap voting because they do
Speaker 1: ranked choice voting, and Palin is claiming that ranked choice
Speaker 1: voting leads to voter suppression because it's so weird and
Speaker 1: that's all that's just like not true in main ranked
Speaker 1: choice voting. I mean, is it is weird for sure,
Speaker 1: but it has been in place since twice sixteen. There
Speaker 1: hasn't been a higher rate of incomplete or spoiled ballots,
Speaker 1: nor has it impacted turnout. But she's also employing the
Speaker 1: Trumpian tactic of trying to discredit voting altogether, inferring all
Speaker 1: votes are being corrupted by the dominging computerized system, which
Speaker 1: might sound familiar because there is no hand counting, which
Speaker 1: also isn't true. They're thirty one precincts, predominantly rural and
Speaker 1: Alaska Native communities that employ hand counting. But they're just
Speaker 1: they're doing the thing where a, yeah, they've given up
Speaker 1: on democracy and and normalizing that for their followers. So
Speaker 1: you know, you you you lean on that explanation enough,
Speaker 1: it'll be reflective to them after a while. That's going
Speaker 1: to be the lead up to every Like it does
Speaker 1: seem because like Trump Trump Biden was really close and
Speaker 1: he was already in the lead up to the election
Speaker 1: being like this ship is rigged, so like that probably
Speaker 1: hurt him, right, like he might have won the thing
Speaker 1: if he and like same with her. She's basically saying
Speaker 1: the whole thing is rigged like ahead of the election,
Speaker 1: Like that can't be good for them, right, Well, that's
Speaker 1: just that's that's the new normal, you know. That's uh
Speaker 1: we saw it like with a lot of the other
Speaker 1: primaries too. They were candidates who were like, uh like
Speaker 1: behind when the results started coming because this ship's rigged,
Speaker 1: and then they wonder like never mind. So it's like
Speaker 1: reflective now, it's like whatever, man, this is this is
Speaker 1: a joke anyway, and it's like, well then why are
Speaker 1: we all invested in this whatever? Just trying to solve
Speaker 1: a very fucked up problem with your with the tools
Speaker 1: of a so called democracy just and you get this circus.
