Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to season one fifty nine,
Speaker 1: Episode one up, Daily Night Guys, the production of My
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. This is a podcast where we take a
Speaker 1: deep dive into America's your consciousness. It's Monday, November nine. Uh,
Speaker 1: they're exactly seventy two days less in the first Trump administration.
Speaker 1: Uh we'll see where takes us. But uh, my name
Speaker 1: is Jack O'Brien ak Potatoes O'Brien, and I'm thrilled to
Speaker 1: be joined as always by my co host, Mr Miles Cras.
Speaker 1: Thank you, I am am. I am so tired as
Speaker 1: we record on this wonderful Sunday evening, a K. What
Speaker 1: a weekend when school go by? Just stop going in
Speaker 1: this well. Um, yeah, I don't know. That's that's all
Speaker 1: I got right now. That's just nice. That came organically, Okay,
Speaker 1: organic every day from Jeff Bezos. We're thrilled to be
Speaker 1: joined in our third seat by the hilarious, the talented,
Speaker 1: the very first face on Mount Zepemore Lil Zam herself,
Speaker 1: Jamief a k A four season Samboni Services, LLC. We're
Speaker 1: happy to end out our lot any time you like,
Speaker 1: any event. We don't judge back lot. It's people really
Speaker 1: like loved that story, but it really also should just
Speaker 1: like underlined how lucky we are that they were the
Speaker 1: dumbest fascists in the history of fascisms. Would have been
Speaker 1: so fucked. They just realized like by definition what they
Speaker 1: were doing was fascism, where they're like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I was just trying to make sure the thing I
Speaker 1: do is what everyone does. That was that was like,
Speaker 1: that's fasciating. That was deeply funny in a way that
Speaker 1: like it would have been hard to come up with
Speaker 1: for anyone just in their brain. But it pissed me
Speaker 1: off because I just feel like Aaron Sorkin's rubbing his
Speaker 1: little mits together being like exactly exactly. It's poetic justice, right,
Speaker 1: This this is how real life works. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: this is karmac debt being coming to us through Twitter.
Speaker 1: We're seeing it being paid. Wow, you couldn't write a
Speaker 1: better ending. Folks, the liberal blue checks they're back, baby,
Speaker 1: They're letting you know. When Aaron Sorkin writes the story
Speaker 1: of this election, Um, the heroes are going to be
Speaker 1: John Kasich and the guy who made the Avengers meme.
Speaker 1: Oh we had a long I well, I think I'm
Speaker 1: the only person on the pod that I am allergic
Speaker 1: to that thing. Man, I absolutely deeply allergic at this point.
Speaker 1: Don't watch it at this point. Don't There's no need
Speaker 1: to cut yourself with what happened in the Avengers. There's
Speaker 1: no need. It's so funny. I have not seen any
Speaker 1: of the last like Avengers movies, so I'm like really
Speaker 1: out of touch with like how the memes work. But
Speaker 1: I based on how many times I've seen people popping
Speaker 1: out of fucking portals the last week, I was like,
Speaker 1: I can't. Yeah, I seem to understand what happened as
Speaker 1: I was watching this ship. The second the black people
Speaker 1: were the Wakonda party portal was just like was a
Speaker 1: Barack Obama like Stacy Abrahams and Kammala or whatever. I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm done with this ship, but didn't. It's
Speaker 1: so it says Georgia, but then only one of the
Speaker 1: people is from Georgia. Yeah, I turned it off, but
Speaker 1: Loki though, I'm not seeing the movie, so I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to kind of like spoil the movie either.
Speaker 1: In case, like this ship is accurate, but like all
Speaker 1: of it is horrible, but some some special parts are
Speaker 1: when Spider Man is pe and then you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I feel sick. Yeah, when when all the dead people
Speaker 1: come out at once, including like and and none of
Speaker 1: the dead people who pop out like really agree with
Speaker 1: each other about anything. Uh, Sean Connery, John McCain and
Speaker 1: Ruth together it also he is no, he pops up
Speaker 1: with the dead people a good guy as one of
Speaker 1: the as one of the dead friends. I don't know, heroes,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't seen the end of End
Speaker 1: Game either, especially now that Sean Connery and Alex Trebek
Speaker 1: died in the same week. Somewhere my friend Devon said,
Speaker 1: he was like, we're in for one of the worst
Speaker 1: snl episod of our lives. Shout out to at Devin
Speaker 1: Manny on that one, because I hadn't even thought of that,
Speaker 1: And it's gonna it's gonna be a thirteen minute sketch
Speaker 1: of just misses. Well. Darrell Hammond come out to pay
Speaker 1: his respects for man I mean the cast exclusively, people
Speaker 1: who haven't been on the show for twenty years. So
Speaker 1: you're welcome, in the words of Alt when you're welcome. Um,
Speaker 1: oh my god, all right, Jamie, do you have a
Speaker 1: search history, underrated, overrated, all that stuff for Wow. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I haven't been a guest in so long. No,
Speaker 1: I forgot, Okay, we have so much to talk about.
Speaker 1: This is this is a special, special special Yeah, the
Speaker 1: end of our election week coverage. Yeah. Yeah, So I
Speaker 1: don't want to know what I've been the big congrats
Speaker 1: you guys and and broadcasting. We were the first to
Speaker 1: call it. What are you talking about, Miles, We were
Speaker 1: the first to call it. Took our lead. I tried
Speaker 1: telling that it's funny because I know Jacob sober Off
Speaker 1: who's on MSNBC and I had I was hitting him
Speaker 1: up for completely unrelated question about hot sauce, and I
Speaker 1: was just like, aside from the obvious plot that you
Speaker 1: deserve for the last four years, like exposing child detention facilities,
Speaker 1: I'm like, what do you know about this hot suze?
Speaker 1: My brother makes him like, thanks a lot. I've just
Speaker 1: been Yeah, there's their congrats to the real journalists and
Speaker 1: activists and organizers and anyone who was, you know, volunteering. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's so dead and fucking tired.
Speaker 1: I am, and I don't know what. I don't even
Speaker 1: know what I'm feeling still, So do you guys go what?
Speaker 1: What what do you guys do? Like when when it
Speaker 1: was called so it was called obviously Saturday morning. We
Speaker 1: probably don't need a recap on that, but there there
Speaker 1: was an outpouring of joy um which was fun to witness,
Speaker 1: like the city's celebrating the spontaneous, you know, just pouring
Speaker 1: into the street like V Day style celebration in front
Speaker 1: of the White House that Trump had to drive through
Speaker 1: to get back to the White House from his golf
Speaker 1: from his golfing excursion was particularly just yeah, plug it
Speaker 1: right into my veins. But what what? What did you
Speaker 1: guys do? I went to the vet. I think my
Speaker 1: cat has a terrible diarrhea. I was so like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, Cat's fine, you know. I was just like that,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm doing. So I don't know, I've just
Speaker 1: been I don't know. I mean, I think more than
Speaker 1: anything I've I don't know, I don't know. I'm I'm relieved,
Speaker 1: for sure, I'm totally I'm relieved that the Donald Trump
Speaker 1: will not be president. And then I'm like, I'm just
Speaker 1: kind of going through all kinds of emotions. I think
Speaker 1: I'm still very. I was texting you guys this yesterday
Speaker 1: or maybe that was this morning. I'm still very angry
Speaker 1: about the last four years, and you know, maybe the
Speaker 1: last many years, but like these last four years especially,
Speaker 1: I can't you know, I we just all were there
Speaker 1: sitting in horror as just awful thing after awful thing
Speaker 1: and institution after institution or norm shitty norms that we
Speaker 1: have because nothing's sucking in law was just being trampled
Speaker 1: and all this pain was being done. And I was like, honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just don't. I'm like, so I'm
Speaker 1: like still like reeling from that. But yeah, relief, total relief.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's like it's just very and I mean
Speaker 1: I hope so yeah, I was. I was supposed to
Speaker 1: be covering March that was happening that morning anyways, and
Speaker 1: then it fell like two hours after the election was called.
Speaker 1: It I don't know, like, yeah, I'm I'm in a
Speaker 1: I'd like I feel immediate relief, but I am not
Speaker 1: happy really yet. Uh. It was nice. It was nice
Speaker 1: to be uh like among people, and it was like
Speaker 1: just kind of a fortunate coincidence that like there were
Speaker 1: a lot of speakers with b l M l A
Speaker 1: at this event, and like Molina Abdullah gave an amazing
Speaker 1: speech and basically just said, I mean that we're not
Speaker 1: you know, we hadn't gathered to celebrate a Biden victory.
Speaker 1: You gathered to celebrate a Trump lost and the immediate
Speaker 1: harm reduction that comes with Trump not being in office
Speaker 1: versus because there were people there that had like the
Speaker 1: Biden Harris flag and and I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people there were like, in my opinion, kind of rightfully
Speaker 1: resistant to that of I don't know, I mean, I
Speaker 1: just I feel i feel like of being such a downer.
Speaker 1: I'm the immediate harm reduction is like can't be overstated.
Speaker 1: And I'm so relieved for you know, you know, people
Speaker 1: who are affected by every like horrific um tentacle of
Speaker 1: this administration and all the harm that was done. And
Speaker 1: then I also feel this kind of worried just even
Speaker 1: in like I had CNN on for five days and
Speaker 1: that's a bad vibe. And like the second they called it,
Speaker 1: immediately the tone switched back to the rhetoric of like
Speaker 1: a return to normalcy and kind of like encouraging people
Speaker 1: to like whatever, like exhale and stop worrying and like
Speaker 1: things are going to be fine now, and I do
Speaker 1: like that that that makes me worried and and kind
Speaker 1: of just I don't know. I was shocked. I was
Speaker 1: shocked by how immediately they had Center Right people like
Speaker 1: never Trump Republicans on talking about how like, well, now
Speaker 1: the Democrats really need to reach across the aisle too
Speaker 1: to us because this was a real like near miss
Speaker 1: and they need to listen to all the people who
Speaker 1: have been like trying to have them killed for the
Speaker 1: past four years. Uh, and yeah, it's I feel like
Speaker 1: again it's just like Miles, like you were just saying,
Speaker 1: it's like just that we need to be like following
Speaker 1: the lead of organizers and activists because that's, you know,
Speaker 1: a gigantic reason of why we are even able to
Speaker 1: be having this conversation in the first place. And so
Speaker 1: to return to the like, oh you can you can
Speaker 1: relax now, like you really cannot. Well, yeah, and they're
Speaker 1: really going to keep treating things like you know, the
Speaker 1: Medicare for all or you know, student debt relief, many
Speaker 1: progressive things. Is being like, well that's radical again, whereas
Speaker 1: before when Trump was in office, you'd like, yeah, let's
Speaker 1: talk about this on the air, and we'll pretend like
Speaker 1: we like that because it's not possible with Trump and office,
Speaker 1: but we'll say it to like rally people and then
Speaker 1: once the pendulum swings in the direction of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: That's my concern is that we did We saw so
Speaker 1: much pain right before our eyes throughout the last four
Speaker 1: years where it was undeniable, the kinds of the ways
Speaker 1: we were falling short as a nation, and the kinds
Speaker 1: of things, the sweeping changes that have to be made,
Speaker 1: not fucking you know, one bill here that like tweaks
Speaker 1: attacks or closes a little loophole, like fucking you know,
Speaker 1: like societal change basically. Unfortunately, that's where all of this
Speaker 1: governance has brought us. And my concern is at all
Speaker 1: that momentum is lost, you know, and we the bar
Speaker 1: is so low because of Trump were merely like man,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden listens to scientists, y'all, like put this he
Speaker 1: motherfucking chego vera two point oh on the like below
Speaker 1: the floor the bars and yeah, in hell, but in
Speaker 1: a way, but you know, I'm not mad at people
Speaker 1: who are happy and dancing in the street, like yeah,
Speaker 1: if go feel you what you gotta do. I can't really,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't of the time to you know,
Speaker 1: begin to critique what however people are responding. I just
Speaker 1: want to say again and again, just please, please, please
Speaker 1: don't let up now, because your life can be some
Speaker 1: somewhat you know, quote unquote back to normal or comfortable,
Speaker 1: because you might be privileged enough for you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of these issues to not be fucking with you
Speaker 1: or messing up your day to day life. And I
Speaker 1: just yeah, that's all I keep like, I'm like, fuck, man,
Speaker 1: we still got like, let's you could, you could pop champagne,
Speaker 1: but come on, let's keep let's keep the pressure on
Speaker 1: because we have to keep just as much pressure on
Speaker 1: Joe Biden as we would Donald Trump, um like, if
Speaker 1: not more, because it's just like he's just you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's the like, even if you think about the
Speaker 1: way that we think about fucking, you know, George W.
Speaker 1: Bush now versus how how deeply hated he was when
Speaker 1: he was in office, and now he's kind of like
Speaker 1: this punchline. And for I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: a little closer to the center, they're like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: like now he's you know, he wasn't that bad and
Speaker 1: just kind of erases all the active harm. And I yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's if if you haven't sort of set up
Speaker 1: your plan for like how are you going to remain
Speaker 1: engaged in a way that like is mentally healthy for you.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we can be engaged in a way that's healthier
Speaker 1: than we have had to be in the last four years.
Speaker 1: But it's like, you know, it's the answer is not
Speaker 1: to just like have a sigh of relief and like
Speaker 1: turn on CNN and chill out, Like it's just that's
Speaker 1: just not it at all. And local stuff too, like
Speaker 1: if I do hope that people are motivated by what
Speaker 1: they've learned, like hearing them go back, like like I said,
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney was on CNN immediately and was like and
Speaker 1: they're gonna try and do the Green New Deal. That's
Speaker 1: not going to happen because there's Republicans still having like
Speaker 1: some power in the Senate and John Kasich and it's
Speaker 1: just like like fuck those guys, And like I do
Speaker 1: think that that's we're in a better spot with Trump
Speaker 1: out like that those guys aren't even like they don't
Speaker 1: have the claim of like, hey, we're the good guy,
Speaker 1: like we're at least we're the never Trump ones who
Speaker 1: aren't openly racist, Like we can just be like be
Speaker 1: focused and not we were smart. Yeah, we're smart enough
Speaker 1: to read the room and not say racial slurs out loud.
Speaker 1: And I just feel like so so much chaos and
Speaker 1: so so much I mean, that is what he does.
Speaker 1: He was just fucking exhausting, and that was sort of
Speaker 1: how he operated. He you know, sucked up all the
Speaker 1: oxygen in the room. He always needed attention, He always
Speaker 1: needed to be triggering the the lives. And you know
Speaker 1: that that ship just took up a lot of oxygen.
Speaker 1: And I'm hoping that the engagement the people of you know,
Speaker 1: exhibited during that carries forward, because you can't go back
Speaker 1: to just being like the Obama administration people just being like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I'm sure they've got it under control. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's like you can be you can be like happy
Speaker 1: in the immediate sense that you know Joe Biden one
Speaker 1: and also not want him to get too comfortable in
Speaker 1: that chair. Like it's two things can be true. Oh
Speaker 1: absolutely yeah. I mean people his campaign staff are all
Speaker 1: saying like he will make good on his promise, like
Speaker 1: for his progressive agenda or won't leave working people behind.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I hope. So that's the thing. That's the
Speaker 1: thing that keeps me from like, you know, screaming up
Speaker 1: and down in the streets, jumping up and down, is
Speaker 1: because we have we have a terrible we don't have
Speaker 1: a good record at all in this country of writing
Speaker 1: the ship when it comes to addressing inequality like that
Speaker 1: and all to the fucking progressives, because the ship I'm
Speaker 1: seeing from like the mainstream, like centrist Dems, like d
Speaker 1: n C Dems, is so fucking disheartening and dismissive, cold
Speaker 1: water on the whole agenda, like we're gonna go back
Speaker 1: from yeah, like going from fascists to like back to
Speaker 1: corny centrist like we don't, we don't want that. It's
Speaker 1: just I don't know the thing that is only that's
Speaker 1: been like making me feel positive this week, because it's
Speaker 1: it's hard to feel like happy happy about the national
Speaker 1: election as much as it is, like I feel more
Speaker 1: relieved than happy. But a lot of the efforts that
Speaker 1: like a lot of the local stuff happening where we
Speaker 1: live at least, it's been a hugely great week in
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, and like I feel like so
Speaker 1: so many people have focused up locally um, particularly in
Speaker 1: the pandemic of like realizing how much they can affect
Speaker 1: by like getting behind candidates that they believe in locally,
Speaker 1: and like speaking out actively often against candidates who are
Speaker 1: not serving them, Like, you know, we just voted out
Speaker 1: a fucking horrific d A in l A and and
Speaker 1: brought in some good city council members and that kind
Speaker 1: of I don't know again, as much as like a
Speaker 1: vote for Joe Biden felt like a vote for immediate
Speaker 1: harm reduction, It's like and then there's votes that you
Speaker 1: can feel actually happy about who and what you were
Speaker 1: voting for instead of just voting for not fascism. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and talk about how the right is dealing with
Speaker 1: all this. And we're back. There's a clip circulating that
Speaker 1: I wanted to play for you guys of a pastor
Speaker 1: Kenneth Copeland. Kenneth Copeland, I think is he the guy
Speaker 1: who was saying that he needed the private jets because
Speaker 1: he didn't want to be on public. Yeah, he has.
Speaker 1: He's first lasked with people because that's where the demons
Speaker 1: are who is this man? He's just elderly. Uh, come on,
Speaker 1: just because he's eighty three years old young, I mean
Speaker 1: from Love tex I don't mind that he is elder
Speaker 1: What was this? What? What what was his problem? Well
Speaker 1: you'll see he you know, he's out here because obviously
Speaker 1: we saw the prayer groups in front of the polling voting,
Speaker 1: vote counts from Africa. Come in Africa, Africa, come on,
Speaker 1: come on, rain on down, come over from Africa. Build
Speaker 1: this country. Then we will completely put casts out aside
Speaker 1: and ask for your vote. Anyway, So this thing, uh,
Speaker 1: this man, he is leading his congregation to laugh at
Speaker 1: the media ha ha ha because they had the audacity
Speaker 1: to declare Joe Biden president elect. So it's all very
Speaker 1: natural and feels very normal and like they're in a
Speaker 1: good place mentally. Oh yeah, the media said what the
Speaker 1: media said, Joe Biden's president. Ha ha ha ha ha
Speaker 1: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. What the fun
Speaker 1: is happening? It's still going yeah, yeah, no, it happens
Speaker 1: for a whole minute of him going ha ha ha ha. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is nothing edited. This is like that scene in
Speaker 1: Training Day when Denzel is laughing when he's just everyone
Speaker 1: was like I can't, like just totally don't even know
Speaker 1: what's coming. Yeah, it's the people are doing like you
Speaker 1: know that like fucking the meme with the like NPC
Speaker 1: like okay, mass, but underneath is the tears coming out.
Speaker 1: There were people who straight up had that. They were
Speaker 1: like ha ha ha, like jugular all bursting out, like
Speaker 1: the tears just about to crust over boy his audience guests, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the vibe? What's there? At first seemed troubled, but
Speaker 1: then like it whipped into a fury. They're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is this is where we're at, this is what
Speaker 1: we're doing. And so they're laughing and like screaming and
Speaker 1: shouting and standing up. There's kind of a thing that's
Speaker 1: being less passed around from the Four Seasons Total Landscaping debacle. Uh,
Speaker 1: where like the actual the actual press conference is happening,
Speaker 1: uh at four Seasons to the press conference is happening
Speaker 1: in the parking lot of the four Seasons Total Landscaping. Uh.
Speaker 1: It just got fun again with Rudy at the elector.
Speaker 1: I love that Rudy. Rudy will pull up anywhere, like
Speaker 1: it's so funny. He is at the podium. And as
Speaker 1: he's addressing the media at this podium is when they
Speaker 1: call the election for Biden. And so a media person
Speaker 1: asks him and he's like, Oh, I don't care what
Speaker 1: they who said that? Nobody said that? And he's like
Speaker 1: what what outlets said it? And they're like all of
Speaker 1: them he and he goes oh, oh, Like there's this
Speaker 1: moment where he's like fuck. And then he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: all the media called it. And it's just like so
Speaker 1: unnatural and strange and childish and unbelievable, like and here
Speaker 1: they are holding this. This is weird. This next week's
Speaker 1: gonna be fucking weird because these people are are going
Speaker 1: through white white supremacy withdrawals. Breakup. Yeah, there's like some breakup.
Speaker 1: There's some like yeah, some some weird break They're so
Speaker 1: mad and bewildered because Q is not posted, like they're
Speaker 1: turning on each other. Some are very somewhere. I feel
Speaker 1: like Trump is going to step in and become like
Speaker 1: the Q. And just because like there's an interview somewhere
Speaker 1: in NPR where they were interviewing like a Virginia militia
Speaker 1: member who was talking about like how Trump was like
Speaker 1: dropping these hints to them, like throughout the lead up
Speaker 1: to the election, and like so they went to all
Speaker 1: the polling places. Oh, I think it was this American
Speaker 1: What if it was Sean Connery and then yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: I think maybe it was Connry. I think we have
Speaker 1: to we have to at least very seriously entertained the
Speaker 1: I mean, they figured out who it was, but it
Speaker 1: was but it maybe it was Sean Connery. Yeah uh
Speaker 1: but yeah, I just think that this is now that
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't have a job anymore. I could see him
Speaker 1: like just full on going like making his full time
Speaker 1: job just like cultivating this cult is a lot of
Speaker 1: network or something like that. Like it's it's hard to
Speaker 1: think that he's not going to try to harness all
Speaker 1: the like disillusion and energy into some sort of conglomerate
Speaker 1: of some sort like for him, it would, like you,
Speaker 1: I just based on what we know about him, it'll
Speaker 1: probably be a profit based something right there. If he's smart,
Speaker 1: he'll be sending motherfucking holograms to birthday parties for like
Speaker 1: ten k O pop, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: then you're just clearing like five grand a day or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, the holler Amy, Donald Hologram
Speaker 1: cameos some ship like that, hollo uh. And it's it's
Speaker 1: a pretty pretty good business. But yeah, the way the
Speaker 1: way his energy is moving, I still believe that he'll
Speaker 1: have his own rally on inauguration day, like counter rally
Speaker 1: to kick off his whatever the funk this is um
Speaker 1: and then they can all party together. But yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: also worried. I don't I'm not worried. I'm curious to
Speaker 1: know what his appetite is where like knowing he really
Speaker 1: doesn't want to do shit at all, you know, like
Speaker 1: he just had to do a lot of presidential ship.
Speaker 1: Like if he if he didn't have to do a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff, he probably would in terms of like
Speaker 1: going out. But I think he may just do what
Speaker 1: like maybe a rally every two weeks. And now I
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's compulsive, Like I don't think
Speaker 1: he's in any way a rational like rationally thinking like
Speaker 1: you know, okay, well that just the you know, sucking
Speaker 1: in the middle of his soul that he needs to fill.
Speaker 1: And I mean it also depends on like who is
Speaker 1: willing to stay around him after after this, because you
Speaker 1: have to imagine there's gonna be a faction of Republicans.
Speaker 1: And we've already started to see this in Republicans who
Speaker 1: are closer to the center, who are already like hitting
Speaker 1: up MSNBC, hitting up CNN and being like I knew it.
Speaker 1: You know, he always seemed pretty bad, but I could.
Speaker 1: I wasn't allowed to say so, but now I can.
Speaker 1: And guess what I'm I'm you know, like people are
Speaker 1: gonna be trying to save their political careers by distancing themselves,
Speaker 1: and then there'll be other people who are too far
Speaker 1: gone and maybe they'll they'll keep rolling. I don't. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just another like does he have a team around
Speaker 1: him that's going to actually keep building this horrific ship
Speaker 1: or like, is he just gonna because if he's left
Speaker 1: to his own devices, he will like fully sputter out
Speaker 1: and without any structure. Yeah, I don't know. I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit worried about what, you know, his ability to
Speaker 1: keep this death cult going. And you know people, you know,
Speaker 1: nobody who voted for him believes that he lost the election.
Speaker 1: They think he was cheated out of the election. So
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of anger, probably violence. Um,
Speaker 1: the I think the main like structural thing that would
Speaker 1: take some of the oxygen away from like the you know,
Speaker 1: whatever is building in his followers right now, would be
Speaker 1: if Fox News like officially just debdit it and was
Speaker 1: just you know, like Laura ingram I think on Friday
Speaker 1: was starting to get the idea that he was gonna lose.
Speaker 1: She was like telling him how to uh concede and
Speaker 1: be like, you know, honorable, um, you still have Hannity,
Speaker 1: you still have Tucker Carlson like going with the lie,
Speaker 1: and like, the thing that really worries me is that
Speaker 1: like the big thirsty GOP celebrities like Nu Gingrich, Ted Cruz,
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio have all come out and sided with Trump
Speaker 1: with like the uh you know, wild and incredibly dangerous
Speaker 1: claims about election and voting fraud that don't have a
Speaker 1: single example to back it up. But they're willing to
Speaker 1: do that because they know that that's there's a lot
Speaker 1: of energy and a lot of voters who are are
Speaker 1: there for that. Yeah, it's a it's not a good
Speaker 1: not a good path to take because it's just you
Speaker 1: can see where it ends, like it's not there's no
Speaker 1: like what if, you know, unless they're sitting on something
Speaker 1: fucking truly like awful, like in terms of a plan
Speaker 1: to try and motivate, to motivate people to move in
Speaker 1: one direction or the other. But yeah, it's it's really,
Speaker 1: it's really weird because even like, you know, Rick Santorum,
Speaker 1: who's a fucking evil pieces shit, who's CNN is like, hey,
Speaker 1: welcome back Rick Santorum, the guy who regularly fucking dehumanizing
Speaker 1: Just like Veneer fools have no loyalty to people, These
Speaker 1: fucking losers with Veneers will let any centrist Republican on
Speaker 1: the air any moment of the day, and I just
Speaker 1: want to throw a They're addicted to having makeup applied
Speaker 1: to them and having bright lights on them and cameras.
Speaker 1: That's all they're tasting. That's the dragon. As a a
Speaker 1: near connoisseur, this was a wild week for me watching now.
Speaker 1: I don't think I saw a real tooth all week,
Speaker 1: not a little pointy tooth in the bunch. It's like
Speaker 1: when you've been playing too much Guitar Hero and you
Speaker 1: go to sleep at night and you can still see
Speaker 1: them scrolling on your your eyes, like you and you
Speaker 1: fall asleep watching Cuomos and the Dark right, right, So Um,
Speaker 1: I just want to play this from Rick Santorn because
Speaker 1: he was saying how he has the teeth from inside
Speaker 1: the White House and just listen to like what his
Speaker 1: take is or how the president is looking about, like
Speaker 1: what we'll see how he'll concede. I just want to
Speaker 1: say that you know, what we're hearing from the from
Speaker 1: the Trump White House is that the president is willing
Speaker 1: to concede if certain conditions are met. And you know,
Speaker 1: the answer with conditions that he's comfortable that he is
Speaker 1: run the race through the tape, which is that you
Speaker 1: know that that this race was conducted fairly and that
Speaker 1: you know we've they've pursued all of the allegations and
Speaker 1: you know, all you need to do is pick up
Speaker 1: your phone and you'll see allegations and allegations and allegations.
Speaker 1: His legal seam is telling him they have a case.
Speaker 1: And so the president is gonna follow through with that. Uh.
Speaker 1: But I think the idea that somehow, you know, as
Speaker 1: we suggested the other day, that we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: you know, transport the president out of there. That's just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: But time is going to be necessary for the campaign
Speaker 1: and the lawyers to run the traps. M okay um,
Speaker 1: that's never been necessary before with any of Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: I like how they're treating it like a hostage situation.
Speaker 1: He's willing to come out if sir and conditions are
Speaker 1: metay it It It reminds me of like when I when
Speaker 1: I I got a hamster and then the same day
Speaker 1: it like ran under my drawers and I had to
Speaker 1: like lure it out over a series of forty eight
Speaker 1: hours because it was scared to get out from under
Speaker 1: the drawers, and I certain conditions were met until certain
Speaker 1: conditions were met, and then of course then I just
Speaker 1: had a hamster like this. Who it's weird. I don't
Speaker 1: know if Rick Santorm is trying to be like hey
Speaker 1: look he it's it goes through a few different feelings,
Speaker 1: Like one is like yo, man, he's dangerous and we're
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna have to deal with him to get
Speaker 1: him out, like certain conditions are going to have to
Speaker 1: be met for him to come out. But then there's
Speaker 1: also like, you know, give him some time to like
Speaker 1: mold this over, figure it out, realize they have no
Speaker 1: illegal but he has a legal case. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It just sounds like it's reflecting just how chaotic the
Speaker 1: White House is right now, because all the reports are
Speaker 1: like he's been trying to get new lawyers. Every time
Speaker 1: he's like, I want better lawyers, and they're like, bro,
Speaker 1: like you can only like only the worst people are
Speaker 1: gonna work with you. So unfortunately, like the pool of
Speaker 1: possible lawyers is very small and please please concede. Uh,
Speaker 1: And it's just all over the place. I'm not so,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel part of him though, does not.
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem to have the the same kind of
Speaker 1: fight I thought he did. But it's still early, That's
Speaker 1: what I That's was still you know, lingers in the
Speaker 1: back of my mind of what, you know, out of desperation,
Speaker 1: what it's gonna look like. I mean, what did you say, Jack,
Speaker 1: seventy two days? That yeah, days, that's that's enough days. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Jared Kushner's out here leaking stories that he's talked to
Speaker 1: the President a couple of times about, you know, raising
Speaker 1: the possibility of conceding. Multiple sources say that I I
Speaker 1: think it wasn't even that strong. I think it was
Speaker 1: Multiple sources said that Jared is like trying to figure
Speaker 1: out how to approach the conversation, which is just real, Dad, Okay,
Speaker 1: what'd you say, Jared? I don't know, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't want to. I can't do it. I can't do it.
Speaker 1: So speaking of weakling failed Son's um, the whole future
Speaker 1: of Fox News, like succession is straight up like a
Speaker 1: true story that is happening and determining like the fate
Speaker 1: of our country. It's just that like instead of being like,
Speaker 1: should we like pursue this like MySpace type a thing,
Speaker 1: or should we like go double down on news media,
Speaker 1: it's like should they like completely torpedo the U S
Speaker 1: Political system? So it's really like coming down to a
Speaker 1: fight between James and Laughlin or whatever Laughlin loftus. Yeah, Ja,
Speaker 1: James and his wife are Biden supporters and who like
Speaker 1: post openly about how Trump needs to concede and or
Speaker 1: who have been posting openly over the weekend about that,
Speaker 1: and like they were they lost the succession battle with
Speaker 1: his brother Laughlin earlier this year, and now it's Rupert
Speaker 1: and Laughlin deciding like what to do, and people like
Speaker 1: there's this article in the intercept that's like trying to
Speaker 1: read the tea leaves of like what this, you know,
Speaker 1: human monster is going to choose to do with the
Speaker 1: future of our democracy, because like they're like, well, there
Speaker 1: was this one New York Post article where it basically
Speaker 1: said that his claims of fraud were baseless, But then
Speaker 1: Hannity and Tucker still came on and like did this ship.
Speaker 1: So it's just like, yeah, whatever these people choose to
Speaker 1: do is going to have a huge impact on how
Speaker 1: much oxygen his attempt to overthrow our democracy. Like they're
Speaker 1: still fighting between the news people and the opinion people
Speaker 1: within Fox News or like, you know, some of were like,
Speaker 1: come on, dude, can't we be fucking done like he lost,
Speaker 1: Like we can. We don't have to pretend anymore. Let's
Speaker 1: just say he lost that we can do this other thing.
Speaker 1: And for as much fear they were stoking, it was
Speaker 1: funny when on Saturday, when things had been announced and
Speaker 1: people were in the streets and people were partying in
Speaker 1: front of the White House, Fox sent the news crew
Speaker 1: like out into the streets at d C because you know,
Speaker 1: at the time, they're like, you know, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: riots because of the election, because I don't know, because
Speaker 1: poor fucking like boarded up forever twenty ones, just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was all these national chains that were just so
Speaker 1: like and and it was like a very specific type
Speaker 1: of well, yeah, the drive suited up, they were like
Speaker 1: fully boarded. They were ready to fight a war over
Speaker 1: a fucking army scarf or how are the funk you
Speaker 1: say that? And then no one like no one was there, no, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: the whole thing is, yeah, we're talking about that at
Speaker 1: the end of last week. How frustrating it is that
Speaker 1: they are in the mainstream media. It's it's just like
Speaker 1: such a direct line from the police and like just
Speaker 1: the values of the police, the suspicion of anybody who
Speaker 1: is not a white person essentially, and so they're like
Speaker 1: they're just the whole system is just like okay, well
Speaker 1: people are gonna riot if Trump wins, so we have
Speaker 1: to be worried about that. And it's just like people
Speaker 1: are going to riot also from the right, it's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, funck bro, Like people are actually just
Speaker 1: fucking relieved. Some people are celebrating because it was a
Speaker 1: historic win in many respects, especially with Kamala Harris. Um.
Speaker 1: So this clip of this, I just love this sound
Speaker 1: bite because you know, fucking Fox News and the Belly
Speaker 1: of the Beast Black Lives Matter of Plaza in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. When Biden has has claimed victory, and like,
Speaker 1: I just love the vibe check from this reporter. There's
Speaker 1: popping bottles of champagne, some people yelling and screaming. Uh.
Speaker 1: Not a lot of violence or any kind of real
Speaker 1: commotion here, primarily perhaps because just how much marijuana is
Speaker 1: being smoked. The smell of that is quite pungent in
Speaker 1: the air. Yeah, we had a challenge. This is just
Speaker 1: a moment in history they want to experience earlier. Like
Speaker 1: you still you still had to take that fucking racist
Speaker 1: shot when you couldn't get not a lot of violence
Speaker 1: but marijana and that they're not they're not engaging in
Speaker 1: violence because they're high like that, because they're subdued off
Speaker 1: their deuvil wheel. Who was that reporter? It was just
Speaker 1: like some local It's literally some fucking sucking Patagonia vest.
Speaker 1: There wasn't there wasn't. There was a reporter, Chuck Moody,
Speaker 1: who did like a series of really good interviews at
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter Plaza that we're with. I would just
Speaker 1: recommend his whole feed at Chuck mody m O d
Speaker 1: I one. He did interviews with people who were out
Speaker 1: the day for like the election celebrations, who had been
Speaker 1: out since the BLM protests began, And there's just like
Speaker 1: a lot of uh just I mean actually talking to
Speaker 1: activists and organizers about their perspective on like how it
Speaker 1: feels to have all of a sudden everyone is in
Speaker 1: the street when it's kind of reached a point where
Speaker 1: not many people were really out there fighting every day
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So that's just good. I mean,
Speaker 1: liberal news networks are so fucking corny they suck, like
Speaker 1: just so frustrated, just like dangerous and like yeah, yeah
Speaker 1: we we we're just getting you know, if you watch
Speaker 1: it and not question sort of who's behind it or
Speaker 1: like the kinds of lives these people lead, you don't
Speaker 1: realize you're just getting such a fucking bizarro version of
Speaker 1: American life, like sort of spit back to you from
Speaker 1: people who are like, according to us, who aren't really
Speaker 1: out there with any of y'all, this is what's going on, uh,
Speaker 1: and this is our reskewed take on it, when yeah,
Speaker 1: they could be doing the real thing of being like, well,
Speaker 1: let's talk to people who were by who's who voted
Speaker 1: for Joe Biden, but why they were reluctant and but
Speaker 1: they did, and what their hopes are now that he's
Speaker 1: in office, like because I think those are the kinds
Speaker 1: of takes Chuck Mody was getting from a lot of
Speaker 1: people saying like, yeah, so here's the thing, Like Obama
Speaker 1: was even president, but we still had young men of
Speaker 1: color being killed by the police and really not much
Speaker 1: going on, So we're not quite sure what we're going
Speaker 1: back or what we're moving forward from. I think realistically,
Speaker 1: we've really just set the clock back to twenty SI team,
Speaker 1: and we're starting from wherever. You know, if Hillary Clinton
Speaker 1: one where that's where we would have started, because the
Speaker 1: last four years we just went backwards. I think the
Speaker 1: one benefit is that it's it's created a lot more
Speaker 1: engagement and I think radicalized people to a certain degree
Speaker 1: of at least being like, wait, okay, I know that
Speaker 1: this is how we used to use the language to
Speaker 1: talk about how we're progressing, but now this is what
Speaker 1: needs to happen. That's what you you'd hope to see
Speaker 1: from the media, but that would you know, that threatens
Speaker 1: to challenge the status quo too. Much. Yeah, it's seeing something.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just so frustrating seeing the d
Speaker 1: like go to networks that you know, like most of
Speaker 1: our parents are watching just regress back to when they
Speaker 1: thought Hillary Clinton was going to win in the space
Speaker 1: of twelve hours or less and immediately being like in socialism,
Speaker 1: they never want to hear that again. Clearly the American
Speaker 1: people have rejected that idea and like claiming that AOC
Speaker 1: almost lost the election for Biden and all this ship
Speaker 1: that is just like yeah, when I don't think that's
Speaker 1: going to hold up, I I hope I'm optimistic that
Speaker 1: that ship can just cannot hold up there too. I
Speaker 1: don't know how can they fall for Like how I
Speaker 1: would be shocked if the Democratic Party falls again for
Speaker 1: and I'm always willing to be shocked by them. But
Speaker 1: the fact that the Republicans are already talking about debt
Speaker 1: and like not be not wanting to spend and like
Speaker 1: austerity measures after when Trump was in office they like spent,
Speaker 1: they like tripled the debt and we're like just willing
Speaker 1: to quote deficit spend and we're like singing the praises
Speaker 1: of you know, spending by giving people, you know, benefits
Speaker 1: and giving people like unemployment when we hit a fucking
Speaker 1: huge national crisis, and now that a Democrat is in office,
Speaker 1: they're going to go back to like acting like they
Speaker 1: give a ship about the national debt is so frustrating.
Speaker 1: And if the Democrats buy into that for a fucking second,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be they did, they will and it won't
Speaker 1: even be them though, you know, it's not even to
Speaker 1: be you know, some could look at it as being
Speaker 1: a reaction to the Conservatives, but really it's coming from
Speaker 1: the donor class. That's that's gonna fucking set the tempo.
Speaker 1: Like if those donors are like, Yo, get this fucking
Speaker 1: Medicare for All bullshit off my TV, Like are you
Speaker 1: fucking kidding me? You know how much do no stop
Speaker 1: kill that dude? Well let's I'll tell you what we're
Speaker 1: willing to do, but don't fucking go all the way
Speaker 1: with that ship. And don't you dare start talking about
Speaker 1: this other ship about trying to you know, like, there's
Speaker 1: there's so many other forces at play that, uh, keep
Speaker 1: the politicians from talking about the things that really matter.
Speaker 1: And that's why if and when this party completely takes
Speaker 1: for granted the young people and the working people who
Speaker 1: came out to, you know, put Biden in office. The
Speaker 1: real I think the fracture is going to really come
Speaker 1: from that part, like this side of the party, where
Speaker 1: people like, what the flick we were gonna have to
Speaker 1: just vote as our own voting block. Now, if we're
Speaker 1: gonna actually fucking do things, that's the only thing we
Speaker 1: can do to fucking try and drag these people in
Speaker 1: the right direction. Unless you say, you know what, dude,
Speaker 1: we will fuck like, we'll fucking we'll blow this whole
Speaker 1: little birthday party up. We don't give a funk because
Speaker 1: you can't keep fucking killing people and smiling and then
Speaker 1: putting a fucking rainbow flag emoji and a black power
Speaker 1: fist emoji, uh like, and acting like, well, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: doing the right thing. I wore this kintay cloth uh
Speaker 1: in the rotunda, so what else has to be done?
Speaker 1: We're like, it's what it needs to be substantive. And
Speaker 1: I think that's life is really life. People they don't
Speaker 1: I think they don't realize life is so fucking difficult
Speaker 1: right now and people are on a fucking knife's edge
Speaker 1: that to funk around now is going to really really
Speaker 1: change the mood on how people decide to support the party.
Speaker 1: And that's the thing you hope they don't funk around
Speaker 1: and find out about. They were already saying that, like
Speaker 1: they're seeing things trending so that it's becoming less of
Speaker 1: a party of college educated people and then minorities, and
Speaker 1: more of a thing of just college educated people and
Speaker 1: then not college educated people. And it's I I think
Speaker 1: like a huge part of that is that this mainstream
Speaker 1: media just like doesn't even believe that those people are
Speaker 1: worth like thinking about, let alone, like talking to, let alone,
Speaker 1: like valuing. They just like don't exist to the mainstream media.
Speaker 1: And that's not college educated white people, that's not college
Speaker 1: educated Black people, not college educated Hispanic people. They just
Speaker 1: like don't exist as far as CNN is concerned. And
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is going to like keep doubling down
Speaker 1: on like what CNNs like version of reality is, They're
Speaker 1: going to fucking disintegrate. Well, they just visions are made
Speaker 1: and like it's like it's like all these people are
Speaker 1: in a penthouse cocktail party, like a hundred stories in
Speaker 1: the air, and they look down on the streets and
Speaker 1: they see people moving around and they know that's the
Speaker 1: holy polo, the working people, the everyday people, but they're
Speaker 1: they're so far removed from it, like they're just making
Speaker 1: out shapes from their vantage point and trying to determine
Speaker 1: what's best from there and then telling people that that's
Speaker 1: what it is. And it's so there's such a disconnect
Speaker 1: um that again when they're that's revealed when they say
Speaker 1: things like, oh my god, this defund the police thing
Speaker 1: almost cost a lot of people, Like, no, that's a
Speaker 1: fucking scare tactic, because you just saw how many new
Speaker 1: Democrats came out because of that, And it's the same thing,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, just like you know, establishment Republicans looked at
Speaker 1: Trumpers like, man, these motherfucker's might take over our fucking party,
Speaker 1: and we used to be about like just shut the
Speaker 1: funk up and start making this money. The Democrats are
Speaker 1: gonna feel the same way if they see these younger
Speaker 1: kids come out who are aligned with with racial justice issues,
Speaker 1: aligned with economic equality issues and things like that. They're
Speaker 1: looking the same women like, don't let these multherfuckers took
Speaker 1: over our party, which is like how they look at
Speaker 1: the squad and ship like that. That's why they have
Speaker 1: to keep lobbying these little attacks about the platform and
Speaker 1: the policy aims that they have, because that's because it
Speaker 1: does threaten to upend, you know, the existing power structure.
Speaker 1: What we talk about this all the time. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just like that the whole like CNN being willfully
Speaker 1: ignorant and just pretending they do not see the importance
Speaker 1: of the black and brown voter blocks and of the work.
Speaker 1: I mean, these are the voter blocks that have swung
Speaker 1: elections time and time again, like whether it's I mean,
Speaker 1: and then the white working class voter block really swung
Speaker 1: us another way last time around, and it's like these
Speaker 1: are important. It's just it feels like sometimes those networks
Speaker 1: are broadcasting for like seventeen people and everyone is supposed
Speaker 1: to just be swallowing it and being like, okay, makes sense.
Speaker 1: Well they're broadcasting for themselves, for the people who went
Speaker 1: to college with them, and yeah, it's it is. You know,
Speaker 1: we've talked about college being like a sorting hat for
Speaker 1: American like capitalism and like that you're just learning how
Speaker 1: to behave like somebody who like works for the White
Speaker 1: House or works for the New York Times or works
Speaker 1: for CNN. It's it's bullshit, all right. Uh, let's take
Speaker 1: another quick break and we'll come back and close out.
Speaker 1: I wanted to tell you guys my favorite anecdote I
Speaker 1: learned from over the weekend. And it's not even from
Speaker 1: this year. It's from and we're back. Have you guys
Speaker 1: heard the story? You got what you wanted, Mike, Now
Speaker 1: leave me alone. Oh I saw that tweet? Yeah? Is
Speaker 1: that an argument between my parents before they got divorced?
Speaker 1: End pens? Okay, No, I don't know so. Uh. Mother
Speaker 1: was apparently like livid that Mike Pence didn't drop off
Speaker 1: of the ticket after the Access Hollywood tape um and
Speaker 1: was like actively rooting against her husband and Donald Trump
Speaker 1: in the election. And on election night, Karen Pence refused
Speaker 1: to kiss her husband. He went in for a little
Speaker 1: smoochy and she said, you got what you wanted, Mike,
Speaker 1: now leave me alone. Uh and just walked away, which
Speaker 1: is level of like fucking uppidness, uh, and just unhappiness.
Speaker 1: And it also just like puts the last four years
Speaker 1: of him trying to teleport out of out of the
Speaker 1: room every time like Trump is doing something uncouth, just
Speaker 1: like puts it into perfect He's just you know, thank
Speaker 1: god they don't believe in divorce or else she might
Speaker 1: have who knows the I wonder what if there is
Speaker 1: like a comedic like element where she has just been
Speaker 1: fucking with him the last four years, where like he's like,
Speaker 1: oh god, I know she's gonna she's gonna laugh at
Speaker 1: me again. I don't know. I don't know what's going
Speaker 1: to happen with mother this time. And Mike, it look
Speaker 1: pretty uh, pretty good. You're really in command in that
Speaker 1: meeting with Nancy and Trump. You you you nailed it.
Speaker 1: What were you mashing your eyes closed as just like
Speaker 1: a sign of how strong you were? How did he
Speaker 1: get you to roll over and show your belly like
Speaker 1: that from that ankle? Mike, he's gonna be He's gonna
Speaker 1: be demoted to alter boy back home? Uh? And then
Speaker 1: I mean, who gives a funk what happens to like
Speaker 1: I just if I forget his name. Yeah, I hope
Speaker 1: they run him in instead of some other like populists.
Speaker 1: You know what, they were smart. If they were smart,
Speaker 1: well if no, if they were smart, they would run
Speaker 1: as a party for working people. Yeah, that's how they really.
Speaker 1: They would take that argument and they would say, look,
Speaker 1: what look at these fucking see leather shoe wearing. I
Speaker 1: don't know why I said leather shoe wearing, but these
Speaker 1: fancy motherfucker's You know, that would be you'd have enough
Speaker 1: people who are I think the people are failing to realize.
Speaker 1: The realist ship to people right now is like what
Speaker 1: their job prospects are, what their chances for stability are,
Speaker 1: What the chances for their future being and the futures
Speaker 1: of their children being good are. If whoever wins the
Speaker 1: race to begin to paint that future is going to
Speaker 1: fucking capture more minds because that's what's real. At a
Speaker 1: certain point, the partisanship will melt away on to a
Speaker 1: certain degree that a message like that is going to
Speaker 1: resonate much more than anything that's like shrouded in your
Speaker 1: left or right sort of vernacular lexicon, all that nonsense
Speaker 1: like getting to that that's the dangerous ship, and that's
Speaker 1: the thing that Trump was kind of doing that that's
Speaker 1: the different thing in twenty sixteen. But he was the thing.
Speaker 1: He became. He became the man, so he could no
Speaker 1: longer talk about sucking the man up because that was him.
Speaker 1: So he just didn't know how to pivot. Well yeah,
Speaker 1: and also he's just like completely corrupt and you know,
Speaker 1: thrives on. He is, uh, first and foremost a businessman,
Speaker 1: an American businessman, an American capitalist, and the definition of
Speaker 1: that is corruption. And so he was just like when
Speaker 1: he got into power, the thing he knew how to
Speaker 1: do was to give them a bunch of like tax
Speaker 1: breaks and just like you know, make it so that
Speaker 1: corporations had an unfair advantage. Um. And yeah, that's that's interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like I feel like the d n
Speaker 1: C and I hope they realize, but it's just like
Speaker 1: the d n C is on fame fucking ice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they do not realize it. A large voter, you know,
Speaker 1: a large amount of voters this time around, Like I
Speaker 1: feel like made it pretty clear that this is like
Speaker 1: the last vote they're casting for the d n C
Speaker 1: that is not explicitly like aligned with their interests. Like
Speaker 1: so yeah, they have to like together or they're gonna loose.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like it's just there's something's going to
Speaker 1: have to change. Somebody's gonna use economic populism. Uh, Like
Speaker 1: Biden is going to be leading, so he could actually
Speaker 1: run and use like take care of people and then
Speaker 1: run on economic populism and leave the sort of corporate
Speaker 1: bullshit to the Republicans, or you know, he can be
Speaker 1: the corporate stooge that people are eight is going to be,
Speaker 1: and then the Republicans will come in and you know,
Speaker 1: demolish him. Yeah, I mean, listen to these and if
Speaker 1: they just take a cue from these activists, you know,
Speaker 1: if there's certain outcomes that we need, you, you're damn
Speaker 1: sure that organizers and things can get people together to
Speaker 1: uh pressure whoever is not going along with the program.
Speaker 1: And you know, like, rather than being like, well, we
Speaker 1: would have loved to do an actual stimulus that would
Speaker 1: have helped people, but you know, Mitch McConnell is a
Speaker 1: fucking asshole, so here's fucking nothing because Mitch McConnell's an asshole.
Speaker 1: Rather be like, hey, we're trying to fucking do right
Speaker 1: by all, but this mother fuck over here, like and
Speaker 1: making it enough of an issue by saying, this is
Speaker 1: the person that is standing in the way. Now, there
Speaker 1: are many other ways we can do this. But rather
Speaker 1: than just being like, well, you know, getting already like
