Speaker 1: about Hunter. Uh so that's something that Trump is telling people. Uh,
Speaker 1: We're gonna check out the most headline that isn't doom based.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the shitty merch game of both campaigns,

Speaker 1: to be joined in our third seat by the brilliant,
Speaker 1: the talented Mariah Parker back that just yeah, welcome, there
Speaker 1: you are, there you are. I've been good man, I've
Speaker 1: been killing it out here, you know, just trying to
Speaker 1: like defund the police, Phil Yeah, you know, identification guarantee
Speaker 1: your house, every Athenian, you know, because just normal and
Speaker 1: socialist stuff. Yeah, yeah, I would love to see it.
Speaker 1: I love to see it. How's other than that? I
Speaker 1: feel like George has got a lot of energy swirling
Speaker 1: politically because right now Georgia, Yeah, John also from here
Speaker 1: in my city yesterday stumping with a bunch of other
Speaker 1: Democratic candidates for local offices. Um, you know, we had
Speaker 1: a couple of hundred people turned out, and it's looking
Speaker 1: good in the polls, and so we'll see. Maybe this
Speaker 1: is the year we pull it through. Maybe not defeat
Speaker 1: from the jaws, that victory once again. Yeah, it's amazing
Speaker 1: to see the people like endure the lines as well,
Speaker 1: you know, like, no matter the countless obstacles that have
Speaker 1: been thrown in front of people to exercise the right
Speaker 1: to vote, It's it's hardening to see people just understand,
Speaker 1: like the steaks and still be like, yeah, if then
Speaker 1: I will be in this and I will bring a
Speaker 1: lawn chair and audiobooks, or I'll watch the entire Watchman
Speaker 1: series in line on my phone, whatever it takes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that motivation. Just play Watchman in front of a polling
Speaker 1: place and be like a little projector screen. It's abstract,
Speaker 1: but like, you guys get it. You know what we're
Speaker 1: gonna Yeah, except the right will assume that it's that
Speaker 1: they're the good guys. How isn't that what happened with
Speaker 1: the Michigan Militia Watchmen? Yeah, always I love the positive
Speaker 1: energy coming in. I also feel like it's important or
Speaker 1: it's always good to hear from people from other countries
Speaker 1: who are like yo, I've never had to wait in
Speaker 1: a line more than five minutes. This is bullshit. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Normalize here. That not accept We really should
Speaker 1: not accept. No exactly, all right, Mariah. We like to
Speaker 1: ask our guest, what is something from your search history
Speaker 1: that is revealing about who you are? Yeah? So, um,
Speaker 1: I was looking at my search history before I came on,
Speaker 1: and I recently searched Kimberly Jones, who had that viral
Speaker 1: speech over the summer. Okay, yeah, yeah, I don't sure. Right,
Speaker 1: she's talking about how like trying to beat racism is
Speaker 1: like playing monopoly and like flip the table over and
Speaker 1: burn all your cards all the time. And then, uh so,
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna analyze that speech for my my PhD dissertation,
Speaker 1: looking at just like the linguistic features of both some
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter speeches and some hip hop text produced
Speaker 1: during the uprising, to look at how they can be
Speaker 1: used in a like civics classroom. So I was like
Speaker 1: googling her and whatnot. So it gives you a glimpse
Speaker 1: into like the nerdy ship i'd be working on for
Speaker 1: you know, right, And I think and also another point,
Speaker 1: and I remember at the end of that speech saying,
Speaker 1: we're not looking for revenge, looking for justice and not revenge. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I mean it's real though, Yeah, Like why are you
Speaker 1: burning the cough cars? It's like many it's a car car, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: but property is I've been wondering where is Kendrick Lamar?
Speaker 1: Where has he been? I feel like he was spotted
Speaker 1: at like a like a rally of back in June,
Speaker 1: but like, where where I have really been. I was
Speaker 1: talking to some of my other friends. I was like,
Speaker 1: we're really missing him right now, like we'll watch him
Speaker 1: drop another album, like right, He's like, He's like, I'm
Speaker 1: surprised I have a new album out right. He's like,
Speaker 1: I actually just I trashed my entire a swag rapper
Speaker 1: trapper album I was doing just to make a hit.
Speaker 1: And I realized, I'm gonna just drop something vicious on
Speaker 1: you guys. I'm hoping that's what I'm being. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: been asking that for a while. But I also recognized that, like,
Speaker 1: you know, if you had dropped something back in July,
Speaker 1: it would have like things just keep getting like changing
Speaker 1: and getting worse. And it's like I don't know, like
Speaker 1: I could see him dropping something in a week. I
Speaker 1: could see him dropping something in like two months, right,
Speaker 1: I just but either way, Like I just feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, most rappers have been shamefully silent throughout the summer,
Speaker 1: and I'm just always curious, like we're a lot of
Speaker 1: I mean, there are plenty of rappers who have been outspoken,
Speaker 1: but like there are certain rappers who I'm looking at
Speaker 1: very specifically, like Kendrick. I'm like, I would love to
Speaker 1: even just hear your thoughts a little bit more out loud.
Speaker 1: I think people would respond to that. But you know,
Speaker 1: I mean I would like to see a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of them, like amplify the organizers on the
Speaker 1: grounds that who have studied like theory and like movement
Speaker 1: work historically, and just like give them some shine, because
Speaker 1: like what happens when you have uninformed people with a
Speaker 1: huge platform talking some bullshit is you have Pitt he said,
Speaker 1: tell me people to vote for Trump, and I talking
Speaker 1: about how the Trump economic plan like it's part of
Speaker 1: like you know, so these people aren't really like I
Speaker 1: love some of these they only know they're talking about them.
Speaker 1: They know here in the streets, like on the daily,
Speaker 1: organizing these communities and so like just you know, Kendrick
Speaker 1: even gotta like drop a magnum opus about bolish of
Speaker 1: the police. Maybe retweets the record for now though, like
Speaker 1: maybe like just put some shine on some bail phones,
Speaker 1: be like, hey, you might want to yeah, might these
Speaker 1: are some books you might want to read right now?
Speaker 1: Bell Hooks, I mean, she's dropping bars to you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, yeah's looking at that. But I
Speaker 1: don't know who am I. I'm Kendall Kamar. You know
Speaker 1: a little what should I do? But yeah, it's it is. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's an interesting time. It's all that this this entire
Speaker 1: years has been so so fracked with ups and downs,
Speaker 1: and now we got Walk a Flock a Little Pump
Speaker 1: on the MAGA train too. So yeah, I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: the best rappers of our time have chosen correctly. This
Speaker 1: total losers, so losers. Uh, I can't find out the
Speaker 1: shitty uh like behind the scenes Spung Kong campaign that
Speaker 1: went into Walk a Flock of Flame and Little Pump
Speaker 1: Uh coming out pro Trump and low Pump will just
Speaker 1: be shameless. He'd be like, of course, man, they he
Speaker 1: gave me the X amount of dollars, Like, what what's
Speaker 1: the what's the problem. I'm just securing a bag because
Speaker 1: I'm so horrifyingly disengaged from the political reality of this
Speaker 1: country that I purely saw that is just a bad
Speaker 1: security move. Yeah, okay, Yeah, Mariah, for our listeners who
Speaker 1: didn't hear your first episode, you are the rare political
Speaker 1: rapper and that you were heavily involved in both politics,
Speaker 1: and you are a great rapper, politician and rapper. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I liked the office and I dropped delicious bars. Yeah
Speaker 1: that's saying before we started recording. I love to tweet
Speaker 1: from you recently where you were like, Man, I just
Speaker 1: listened to my album and I'm not gonna lie that
Speaker 1: ship's fire. I do love, uh just hearing that when
Speaker 1: you when you even surprise yourself. Yeah, you tell us
Speaker 1: sometimes tell you be hard. I gotta find some restite
Speaker 1: in some oasis. Yeah, be my own music ship, and
Speaker 1: then you're going to be a doctor too. So yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and no one likes an insecure rapper, you know what, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah exactly. My first album was really like I'm a nerd.
Speaker 1: Nobody likes me, and I'm gonna tump off the train
Speaker 1: bridge and people are ship but you're owning. But you're
Speaker 1: owning your ship, right But no one's like, hey man,
Speaker 1: I might be the best rapper out here, but you
Speaker 1: know that's totally your opinion. I'm pretty dope, what like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but if you press me, I might cave. I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just I don't want to rock the boat. Sorry,
Speaker 1: maybe I shouldn't even got into wrap. It was just
Speaker 1: kind of give me my fathering you Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: So you don't like hip hop? Okay, you can give
Speaker 1: me my CD player and headphones back. I'm sorry, sir.
Speaker 1: What's something you think is underrated? Uh? Something? I think
Speaker 1: it's underrated planned parenthood, especially right now man. Yeah, speaking
Speaker 1: of my Google search history, I was trying to find
Speaker 1: one for reasons I don't know your business, and there's
Speaker 1: only there's like only a couple in Georgia, so like
Speaker 1: they do really dope ship. But then even access see
Speaker 1: that in terms of healthcare, like is a struggle and
Speaker 1: so you know, shout out a plan parent from work.
Speaker 1: You do also open up an athen so I don't
Speaker 1: have to drive an hour and a half ago, like
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, he'll check up whatever. But so with
Speaker 1: there are three Look, if you what's like the worst
Speaker 1: part of like what's the furthest distance to a planned
Speaker 1: parenthood depending on where you live in the state, Like
Speaker 1: is there something? God? Oh god, maybe four hours damn
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean that's by design, right, like because
Speaker 1: by design yeah, by design yeah, by design yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean we haven't really even talked about Amy Coney Barrett
Speaker 1: like getting confirmed because ship is just so infurious. I mean,
Speaker 1: like it's just so so brutal, um, because like these
Speaker 1: democrats in the Senate are like the kind of people
Speaker 1: get like knocked the funk out and be like, I mean, who,
Speaker 1: who who really hits someone like that? Honestly, I can't
Speaker 1: believe it, not knocked out. But I won't do anything
Speaker 1: because that made them look bad. It's like, but you
Speaker 1: knocked the funk out, and now people's rights are on
Speaker 1: the line, and all this ship that was being talked
Speaker 1: about like we'll do everything in our power. I there's
Speaker 1: so many I don't know what the permutations or contingencies
Speaker 1: they are looking at to have just sort of let
Speaker 1: that happen, and that maybe they are thinking of like
Speaker 1: if they can, you know, take the Senate and the
Speaker 1: White House, that is just going to be like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's late. It's just it's free in the court night. Everybody,
Speaker 1: come on in. We're packing the court tonight. Uh we'll see,
Speaker 1: but it's yeah, it's Oh. I got a bad feeling
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. I got a feeling that even
Speaker 1: if it's all all blue wave across the board, they're
Speaker 1: still gonna be like, well, that's not what we're about.
Speaker 1: We're above that sort of thing. NA need to get ruthless.
Speaker 1: If not, like then we need to be like okay,
Speaker 1: so it's time to retire some of these old folks, okay,
Speaker 1: and just bring in the fucking goons who are ready
Speaker 1: to just be like all right, um, I don't care
Speaker 1: if I count voted out, because yeah, uh, what is
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? The Senate abolished the Senate?
Speaker 1: The Senate is overrated. We need proportional representations like they
Speaker 1: got in New Zealand. They got this amazing leftist government
Speaker 1: down there, do a wild shit and because your vote counts,
Speaker 1: like you know, and you have proportional representation in the legislature.
Speaker 1: So a Bolish Senate, un camera legislative, all these House
Speaker 1: representatives proportionate to the demographics of the United States. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: The California forty million people, two senators? What is that?
Speaker 1: What is that? What? And then I mean and then
Speaker 1: just like the way the Senate is operating right now,
Speaker 1: in particular, like truck Schumer's as putting up no kind
Speaker 1: of fight against the confirmation of any county Barrett Man,
Speaker 1: this whole just throw the whole throw the whole house,
Speaker 1: not the whole house of representatives out just to happen.
Speaker 1: So have it, have it all proportional representation in the
Speaker 1: way like they're talking about, like with Alexandrio Ocasio Cortez,
Speaker 1: you know, logic, doing the logical next step, It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: so then we need to fucking fight now. Uh, and
Speaker 1: we need to respond in kind, because you can't just
Speaker 1: let this happen and accept it and be like, well
Speaker 1: maybe the maybe army Commey Barnett will be good about everything. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: like be realistic. Republic Yeah, the Republicans do this because
Speaker 1: again they're like they're like, do the Democrats are gonna do.
Speaker 1: Democrats are gonna do shit. They'll cry about it and
Speaker 1: maybe some people will vote or whatever, but they're not
Speaker 1: gonna do anything. Like they're not gonna change the game,
Speaker 1: but we shall see. The game is definitely changing, uh rapidly.
Speaker 1: But I mean it's kind of in keeping with the
Speaker 1: undervaluation of human beings and the overvaluation of like inanimate objects,
Speaker 1: like whether it be people, you know, comparing violence against
Speaker 1: property with violence against human bodies, or the Senate being
Speaker 1: like each chunk of land gets two people, it doesn't matter, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fucking infuriating, and it's like, yeah, okay, how many
Speaker 1: people got in South Dakota less Okay, you get two,
Speaker 1: you get two centators too. Yeah, it's mh. Well, we
Speaker 1: talked about the cop car people being upset that they're
Speaker 1: burning cop cars, So let's talk about Philadelphia. Protesters clashed
Speaker 1: with police on Monday night after another black man was
Speaker 1: needlessly killed by the racists police in Philadelphia. It was
Speaker 1: another mental health crisis where they responded with guns. And
Speaker 1: it's not even they didn't deescalate the situation. They fully
Speaker 1: escalated it. Shot him from ten feet away with his mother.
Speaker 1: They're trying to defuse the situation. He had a body
Speaker 1: in between him and the cops trying to like know
Speaker 1: what was going to happen. Right, people in the neighborhood
Speaker 1: being like, please put your guns down. We know him,
Speaker 1: he's going just going through something. We just need to
Speaker 1: talk to him. He's not going to be a danger,
Speaker 1: but he is in distress at the moment. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I couldn't really watch the whole video, but enough to
Speaker 1: see that it did not seem like, you know, the
Speaker 1: ten foot distance was the reason to put you know,
Speaker 1: at least a dozen shots uh into this man. And
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's just the fucking same ship over and
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. And we have, you know,
Speaker 1: the protesters coming out rightfully so because the cries of
Speaker 1: you know, trying to be treated humanely are being ignored
Speaker 1: by the police. And then it's funny because all the
Speaker 1: reports I was reading, the one figure I got about
Speaker 1: injuries was only about the police. It's like about like
Speaker 1: twenty nine officers were injured in the clash, and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe like oh twenty nine officers injured after Philadelphia shooting.
Speaker 1: It's like the framing of that ignores the fact that
Speaker 1: some people that entered another A man is dead. Yeah,
Speaker 1: man is dead in front of his family, needlessly killed
Speaker 1: in front of this family. Yeah. The city's police Commissioner,
Speaker 1: Daniel Outlaw said in a statement, I recognize that the
Speaker 1: video of the incident raises many questions. I will be
Speaker 1: leaning on what the investigation gleans to answer the many
Speaker 1: unanswered questions. What like there it leaves no unanswered questions
Speaker 1: like did his knife turn into a gun? Because if not,
Speaker 1: then there that's the questions have all been answered. And
Speaker 1: even then we need to ask a question about that
Speaker 1: knife that you know, like just this whole thing between
Speaker 1: those things like asking that the sort of the boilerplate
Speaker 1: deflective sort of statements that are being made about the
Speaker 1: people that represent the police or just a fraternal order
Speaker 1: of Klansman or I mean police in Philadelphia. The statement
Speaker 1: that came out of them, which was our quote, This
Speaker 1: is from the This is from the quote. Our police
Speaker 1: officers are being vilified this evening for doing their job
Speaker 1: and keeping the community safe after being confronted by a
Speaker 1: man with a knife. We support and defend these officers
Speaker 1: as they too are traumatized by being involved in a
Speaker 1: fatal shooting. Holy shit, the fucking goal of that statement
Speaker 1: is just unbefucking leavable and not to mention. Uh this,
Speaker 1: this shooting happened just blocks away from the where the
Speaker 1: fucking move bombing happened in where the police drop the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia polease drop bombs and killing. You know, it was
Speaker 1: eleven people, five of them were kids, like this is
Speaker 1: this is part and parcels dropped a bomb from a
Speaker 1: helicopter on a how's yeah after like, yeah, our standoff
Speaker 1: with these environmentalists, it's it's the fucking you know, as
Speaker 1: much as we think things are changing, things just really
Speaker 1: remain the same. Yeah, And when people pop off and
Speaker 1: start like you know, writing and burning ship, it's like
Speaker 1: it's not like it is so sad that this man
Speaker 1: lost his life, But it's not just that. It's like
Speaker 1: decades and centuries of just like putting up with this
Speaker 1: over and over again. Yes, you eventually snap, right, well
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. It's still funny to see that there
Speaker 1: are people who are not black or you know, any
Speaker 1: marginalized person who looks at the response that people have
Speaker 1: to something this, like I just don't understand what the
Speaker 1: anger is about. Uh, and not even for a second
Speaker 1: take into account that that's their privilege speaking. The fact
Speaker 1: that you are confused by the outrage that we're experiencing
Speaker 1: is a privilege that you get to experience to be
Speaker 1: something like, oh my god, I don't I could never
Speaker 1: I could, I would never do anything like that, because
Speaker 1: some people are never in a situation where that is
Speaker 1: what society is reflecting back to them and they're having
Speaker 1: to respond to And yeah, the I mean people are
Speaker 1: asking for the bodycam footage out, you know, they just
Speaker 1: want answers as quickly as possible. But I mean, like
Speaker 1: you know, keep in mind though too, Like as much
Speaker 1: as like we're hoping that Joe Biden inning is just
Speaker 1: like exhale, like our moment to exhale and feel like
Speaker 1: things are going to be right, I mean, his answer
Speaker 1: to ship like this is not meaningful reforms or defunding
Speaker 1: the police or abolition or any kind of like you know,
Speaker 1: true change that would actually create positive outcomes for people.
Speaker 1: It's just to simply aim lower. It needs to be energizing,
Speaker 1: It needs to be time to act. If Joe Biden wins,
Speaker 1: uh that that needs to be just now we can
Speaker 1: focus on getting all this other ship done. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: important to remember that, like when it comes to the
Speaker 1: funding and abolishing the police, that's mostly that's mostly gonna
Speaker 1: be handled within municipalities, within cities, within counties, within local
Speaker 1: police departments, and so, like a city council can refuse
Speaker 1: to accept federal funding for expanding policing or surveillance in
Speaker 1: their communities. Like you can get coffee with your your
Speaker 1: county commissioner and sit down with them and talk about
Speaker 1: funding a police alternative where they would have sent trained
Speaker 1: e MT and like a crisis assistance per us and
Speaker 1: to deal with the situation in Philadelphia rather than sending
Speaker 1: the cops. Like you know, Joe Biden can be like
Speaker 1: shoot him in the leg all day long, because ultimately,
Speaker 1: this isn't really his jurisdiction. Like, these are our communities,
Speaker 1: and like in the local context, we have like such
Speaker 1: like huge potential to actually move the needle on issues
Speaker 1: like these, And so I don't even want to hear
Speaker 1: what he has to say about defunding the police. We're
Speaker 1: gonna do it anyway. We're gonna do what we gotta
Speaker 1: do out here in these streets because these are our communities.
Speaker 1: Mak you speak a little bit too, like how you
Speaker 1: got involved in politics because you decided to make a
Speaker 1: change in local politics and actually, you know, do something.
Speaker 1: And I feel like a lot of people feel, you know,
Speaker 1: helpless when ship like this happens, and it's like, no,
Speaker 1: you don't need to Yeah. So, like, you know, two
Speaker 1: years ago, I saw that the gentleman who had stepped
Speaker 1: down from the seat to run for mayor had served
Speaker 1: in that seat for twenty five years, running unopposed throughout
Speaker 1: the that you know two and a half decade spam
Speaker 1: that his handpicked would be successor was also running unopposed
Speaker 1: for his seat. And I decided, you know, I have
Speaker 1: no political experience. I'm a rapper, I'm a slightly crazy person. Um,
Speaker 1: But like I want to give people an option. People
Speaker 1: people deserve an option. That's democracy. You can't just have
Speaker 1: one person on the ballot and then they just are
Speaker 1: de facto elected and so win or lose. I wanted
Speaker 1: to put ideas out in the community that I thought
Speaker 1: to make it better and in doing so, elevate people's
Speaker 1: expectations about what their local government should do for them.
Speaker 1: So talking about the factors you have community guardens talk
Speaker 1: about the factors have affordable housing and and fair free
Speaker 1: public transportation and you know, um, getting the cops off
Speaker 1: the streets like these are these are options that should
Speaker 1: be available to you, but no one's bothered to come
Speaker 1: to your door and talk to you about it. You know,
Speaker 1: when or Lou I was like, I'm gonna get some
Speaker 1: ideas out there, and I did win. I won by
Speaker 1: thirteen votes, which is another reason why everyone everyone listening
Speaker 1: should just run for something, because these elections are decided
Speaker 1: by so few votes that like, like ordinary people have
Speaker 1: a real chance to see his power and then continue
Speaker 1: to build power within these local offices. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm as a regular ask the rapper that you know,
Speaker 1: I'm going on a mic and so I figured I
Speaker 1: could hold it down in the city hall meeting. You
Speaker 1: didn't do a rap battle, so um, I don't know
Speaker 1: that's here. I am today, still doing the damn thing.
Speaker 1: Re elected actually earlier this year, So that's amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that just reminds me. There's there is a story that
Speaker 1: came out recently, not that this was your situation, but
Speaker 1: about like these certain elections where people run unopposed. There
Speaker 1: was this guy in Russia who he needed like he
Speaker 1: was basically or I think it was in Ukraine. Actually no, no,
Speaker 1: this is in Russia. And he needed a rival to
Speaker 1: run against him to like technically meet the minimum requirement
Speaker 1: of two candidates running in the race. And so he
Speaker 1: convinced this woman who was like cleaning office buildings to
Speaker 1: run against him as like his opposition, and she won. Hell, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And it was a funny
Speaker 1: how like the people were like, yeah, they're like, you
Speaker 1: know what, actually, we we already see what this is.
Speaker 1: And it's just an amazing think in general for people
Speaker 1: to get in touch with their power, especially at a
Speaker 1: local level. And I just want to remind any listeners
Speaker 1: who live in Los Angeles County, if you're still have
Speaker 1: not voted, please vote yes for Measure J, which will
Speaker 1: help redirect funds in the county to like actual uh
Speaker 1: positive programs for the community and taking away money from
Speaker 1: the Sheriff's Department that does not need military fucking armored
Speaker 1: vehicles uh and shipped like that. So please vote yes
Speaker 1: I measure vote for NIT. You over David Rue. He's
Speaker 1: yeah by Bernie, right yeah, and he's endorsed by Nancy,
Speaker 1: So you know what time it is. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk more electoral politics. And we're back, and let's check
Speaker 1: out with Mike Bloomberg. Actually, uh must we always gotta
Speaker 1: check it on, Mariah. I'm a big fan of your work.
Speaker 1: You know, I too think you were spitting bars in
Speaker 1: your latest release. You cutting me a check? What happened
Speaker 1: to talk to us? I would love to pay for
Speaker 1: you to do a rap battle with another voter who's
Speaker 1: thinking about sitting this one out? Did you see that
Speaker 1: one that with that was like a double excel where
Speaker 1: they actually had like the freestyle rappers doing their like
Speaker 1: back and forth about the election. Great sponsored content from
Speaker 1: the Biden game. Oh god. So Bloomberg was saying, even
Speaker 1: if he lost, he would just be throwing money at
Speaker 1: whoever won. Where he been though, where he had just
Speaker 1: like people like I was like that meme orm was
Speaker 1: like is that money at the hundred million or whatever?
Speaker 1: The fun So he's dropping some money in Ohio and Texas,
Speaker 1: which in Ohio Trump has about a three point lead,
Speaker 1: but posters believe there's still some voters in play. Uh,
Speaker 1: same with Texas. But he's also spending money on adverse
Speaker 1: in Florida on top of the fifty million that he's
Speaker 1: spent in Ohio and Texas. He's I mean, they were,
Speaker 1: they were, you know, he a lot of people were like, Ohio,
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, like in Texas too, But
Speaker 1: they're just saying, like fuck it, Like let's let's go
Speaker 1: for it, because there are certain like there's like these
Speaker 1: differences in the sort of larger state polling. But then
Speaker 1: when you go into like more district based polling, you
Speaker 1: see that there's definitely a shift happening. Like with Texas
Speaker 1: obviously is still a dream scenario, but looks more and
Speaker 1: more purple. Uh as we get closer to election day.
Speaker 1: But they're saying, like, right now, in Texas, early vote
Speaker 1: turnout is already over eighty percent of the total votes
Speaker 1: cast in twenty sixteen. Yeah, with a huge part of
Speaker 1: that coming from young voters. Um, like right now in Texas,
Speaker 1: which that's promising. Uh, but you know, I want to
Speaker 1: I don't like to I don't like to spike footballs
Speaker 1: too soon. I'd rather just think it's gonna be all
Speaker 1: terrible and then have a good outcome. Um and then
Speaker 1: Trump Yes, he's leading by four points in the state,
Speaker 1: but down ballot, like in these other races that are
Speaker 1: really competitive their districts. Trump won in twenty sixteen where
Speaker 1: he won by eight points, where now he's behind five.
Speaker 1: So there is that they're like these little small ships
Speaker 1: that just seem like, well, fuck, like maybe it's worth
Speaker 1: the spend, and yeah, whatever, Look, Mike Bloomberg, you've got
Speaker 1: more money than you know what to do with, so
Speaker 1: fucking make your rain poppy. You can literally just be
Speaker 1: setting the money on fire and I would be like, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: And then but with the turnout overall, it's just showing
Speaker 1: as much as you know, it's we I think we
Speaker 1: constantly modulate between feeling optimistic that people are turning out
Speaker 1: to vote the right way and also like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: they're gonna fucking do everything they can underhandedly to keep
Speaker 1: anyone from being able to vote. Um, but just considering
Speaker 1: things like states like Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
Speaker 1: North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin have all been breaking
Speaker 1: their early vote records, things like there is there's energy,
Speaker 1: but it's still early to try and figure out like
Speaker 1: who's who's the most energized, you know, because it is
Speaker 1: while Democrats were like blowing out Republicans early on, that
Speaker 1: gap is starting to tighten for sure, because like I said,
Speaker 1: it's also uh you know, white supremacy is on the
Speaker 1: ballot on both sides basically either voted it down or
Speaker 1: you're voting it in. Uh So that's where that's the
Speaker 1: thing that gives me a little bit tense when you
Speaker 1: look at this country's history. M and also the thing
Speaker 1: that gets me a little bit tenses like spending time
Speaker 1: on those states. I feel like that that's something that
Speaker 1: like Georgia and Texas and states that are kind of
Speaker 1: reaches but still like seem within reach. I feel like
Speaker 1: things that happened in too and like rather than just
Speaker 1: focusing on like nailing down the ones that would get
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party to two seventy electoral votes, like I
Speaker 1: don't know, it feels that just gives me a little
Speaker 1: bit of and it's probably an irrational thing because it's
Speaker 1: a totally different election, but it's given me deja vu
Speaker 1: h And they've got the money to do it. And
Speaker 1: I think it's just being more aggressive on top of
Speaker 1: you know, the organizing that I've seen just most people
Speaker 1: who like in their states, in their districts, still have
Speaker 1: the trauma of and are still trying to do what
Speaker 1: they can to turn out as many votes as possible.
Speaker 1: So in a way, wow, like I'm like, yeah, do
Speaker 1: we really need to do that? Rather than like nailing
Speaker 1: everything down, I feel like most people are doing everything
Speaker 1: they can, Like like in Philadelphia, just reading an article
Speaker 1: about how people felt like they were two lacks in
Speaker 1: even with the polling, and how they're going fucking o
Speaker 1: D with just trying to get as many people registered
Speaker 1: and voting because they just can't. It's just like, no,
Speaker 1: that we have to put the yeah, yeah, I just
Speaker 1: have to put the smash on. And it makes it
Speaker 1: clear that we have to put the fucking smash on
Speaker 1: or else it leaves room for all this bullshit. I
Speaker 1: do not trust Philadelphia, having known many many people from Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: So Republican rat fuckers are rat fucking Uh you don't say.
Speaker 1: And this is another reason that like I don't think
Speaker 1: you know people are like, well, is just one previous
Speaker 1: presidential election, but uh, we have uniquely in these two elections,
Speaker 1: we have Trump on the ballot. Trump is openly white
Speaker 1: supremacist as opposed to coded um. So there's like the
Speaker 1: added GOP energy that comes with that, and then we
Speaker 1: also have this increasing openly rat fucking of electoral politics.
Speaker 1: And something that happened like right as Amy Coney Barrett
Speaker 1: was being confirmed, was the Supreme Court decision saying basically,
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin can't count any of the votes that come
Speaker 1: in after election day, even if those votes were postmarked
Speaker 1: by the cutoff, doesn't matter. They don't care, um, just
Speaker 1: arbitrarily because they're like, well, it's gonna look like I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the thing we're talking about last week, where the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court is by no means like above politics. It
Speaker 1: is a political instrument that is being used to, you know,
Speaker 1: do the dirt of the Republican Party. And Brett Kavanaugh
Speaker 1: wrote the opinion and was like, if you let it
Speaker 1: go beyond midnight, then there's gonna be some doubts about
Speaker 1: whether it's on the up and up, whether it's a
Speaker 1: legitimate election results. Uh. And Lanna Kagan was like in
Speaker 1: her dissent, was like, what the funk are you? Like?
Speaker 1: How does that make sense that we're not counting votes
Speaker 1: to make sure that the election appears legitimate, we're going
Speaker 1: to not count people's votes. I just think that there's
Speaker 1: open rat fucking happening now. The Republican Party has gotten
Speaker 1: more and more just openly militarized, like just openly cheating.
Speaker 1: And the wild is that the left is often cused
Speaker 1: of being like anti American, anti American values, and it's like,
Speaker 1: we love democracy, man, we want to see democracy play out,
Speaker 1: you know, like y'all the ones over here with these
Speaker 1: like nakedly authoritarian grabs of power by like ensuring that
Speaker 1: people's votes are accounted. So I mean they just projected,
Speaker 1: is what it is. So voting by mail no longer safe.
Speaker 1: You have to use the drop boxes and even using
Speaker 1: their early voting drop boxes, Like, I don't is that
Speaker 1: can work. Who the funk knows? Like it just it.
Speaker 1: I have no faith in the electoral process at this point,
Speaker 1: which is and yeah they want us and yeah exactly,
Speaker 1: like yeah, I definitely like I was amout to vote
Speaker 1: by mail. I was about to risk it because they
Speaker 1: had de legitimized the safety of voting through an otherwise
Speaker 1: holy legitimate and you know, practically traditional process of making
Speaker 1: your vote count. So I don't course this time. I
Speaker 1: just don't know how you argue that the to ensure
Speaker 1: the legitimacy of an election, you don't count all the votes.
Speaker 1: Like that's what the plant I mean, that's what they're
Speaker 1: even trying to say, like legally that's why. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: even Justice Kagan was like, what the funk are you
Speaker 1: talking about? Like an election that everybody votes, you count
Speaker 1: the fucking votes and whereas the most votes fucking wins.
Speaker 1: Uh and like these all this ship that he's talking about, Like,
Speaker 1: well it could look shady. You're just parroting what the
Speaker 1: president has been saying. Yeah, and that's where you're like,
Speaker 1: And that's what I think should be the most horrifying
Speaker 1: detail is like, dude, Brett Kavanaugh is Donald Trump in adjustice.
Speaker 1: He's like in a Supreme Court justice and now we
Speaker 1: have any Amy Coney Barrett too. Corset's to uh to
Speaker 1: a certain extent, but either way, like all the Conservatives
Speaker 1: are all in line ideologically and literally their last defense,
Speaker 1: that's what they got. Despite what everything happens. They have
Speaker 1: a six three fucking majority at the Supreme Court. People
Speaker 1: like realize how much the two thousand election was straight
Speaker 1: up the people who were appointed by Republicans. Uh, just
Speaker 1: basically being like, yeah, you have to stop counting the votes.
Speaker 1: We we you don't, we don't. You're not allowed to
Speaker 1: keep counting votes in Florida. Uh. And that's what ended
Speaker 1: the election. It was just the Supreme Court being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: based on how we line up politically, we're going to
Speaker 1: give the election to the republic can Uh. And now
Speaker 1: we have a party that is like actually openly willing
Speaker 1: to cheat. And yeah, they don't. They don't care if
Speaker 1: the media catches them because they have their own media now. Right.
Speaker 1: And then on one side too, if they really are
Speaker 1: of the mind where you know, we see their behavior
Speaker 1: looking like they're like, dude, we're about to get fucking
Speaker 1: blown out, so let's just tear this motherfucker down on
Speaker 1: the way out and just see what, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: that'll give us a shot in the long run. It's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's very you know, because even then, what is
Speaker 1: Trump as if you know, a grant, If we have
Speaker 1: this scenario in which he is like, all right, fair,
Speaker 1: fair one's a fair one. I guess I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: the president. Then what does that lame duck session look
Speaker 1: like when it's just all out war against people from
Speaker 1: the White House. It's gonna be like I can't imagine
Speaker 1: Trump is gonna be like, you know, I'm gonna keep
Speaker 1: it real cool in the lame dun He's gonna try
Speaker 1: and just tear everything the funk down. Yeah. Um. I
Speaker 1: feel like everybody, everybody's imagination for how this is gonna
Speaker 1: go is like a click too reasonable and like it's
Speaker 1: not blatant enough. Like they're going to be blatant. They're
Speaker 1: not going to try to, you know, do do anything
Speaker 1: like unless they are forced, they're they're going to try
Speaker 1: and steal the election. And it's really important, Like it's
Speaker 1: stressed to everyone it's now is the time to organize vote,
Speaker 1: but also like we need to be really prepared for
Speaker 1: November four and offer in terms of like who are
Speaker 1: your people on your block that you're gonna like go
Speaker 1: downtown with wherever you people gather and your respective cities
Speaker 1: to like make sure all the votes are counted. Like
Speaker 1: you know, if you gotta go, do you stay capital,
Speaker 1: what's your game plan for doing that? Like you know,
Speaker 1: get ready for get ready for this, go ahead and
Speaker 1: like take off work, go ahead and do whatever you
Speaker 1: gotta do. Because justin case, you definitely don't want to
Speaker 1: get caught off guard. And we were talking about that
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh no, what do I do. I
Speaker 1: gotta work today. I can't be back in the streets
Speaker 1: marching for democracy, like you gotta ahead and plan for
Speaker 1: that ship. Right. That's why a few weeks ago when
Speaker 1: we were talking about like, we're like this guy is
Speaker 1: saying outright, he's like, it will be a coupe, Like,
Speaker 1: I will suck it. I don't give a funk. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm throwing out ballots. I'm supreme winner. Funk that that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: being caught off guard by that reality is the worst
Speaker 1: thing that could happen to you. You have two people
Speaker 1: need to have the imagination that the things could be
Speaker 1: that serious that you may have to be, you know,
Speaker 1: do unprecedented things. And if you have not been politically
Speaker 1: engaged before to participate in the defense of whatever the
Speaker 1: funk this thing is. Uh, And unfortunately, like a lot
Speaker 1: of us are left trying to defend some ship that
Speaker 1: doesn't even work for all of us. House of cards
Speaker 1: from falling. Yeah, when you guys saying that unions are
Speaker 1: planning on possibly striking like federally if if they try
Speaker 1: to steal the election. Yeah, I mean the trade unions
Speaker 1: have been you know, it's just just being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: if this is uh, this could be fucking bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I'm really glad to hear that. I'm really glad
Speaker 1: because I've heard a lot of talking about a general
Speaker 1: strike among like the online left over rank cancelation and
Speaker 1: COVID reliefs and stuff like that. But without that institutional
Speaker 1: organization of like having the unions like all lined up
Speaker 1: behind you, that it just doesn't have the math mobilization
Speaker 1: impact of like actually making it happen. And so I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like that could be a very powerful domino.
Speaker 1: Like s c i U says we don't work in
Speaker 1: teams are saying we aren't work in Suddenly like ain't
Speaker 1: nobody going to work? And the economy is shut down
Speaker 1: until she gets right right good? Yes, Yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: like and that's really I think what is going to
Speaker 1: have to happen because people don't realize that money is
Speaker 1: the language that these people speak and it's the reason
Speaker 1: why we have over two thousand people dead. It's because
Speaker 1: money is the money rules everything. We're not we don't
Speaker 1: want to shut things down because that's gonna slow the
Speaker 1: money down. We don't want to We don't want to
Speaker 1: do right by people who are needy and need health
Speaker 1: insurance because we don't want to slow the money down.
Speaker 1: We don't allow people to get educated because it should
Speaker 1: be there right because they don't want to slow the
Speaker 1: fucking money down. And I think until that happens, people
Speaker 1: will begin to be like, oh ship, they respond when
Speaker 1: the money gets fucked up and really having to see
Speaker 1: like withholding your labor and things like that is all
Speaker 1: part of this fucking power the shitty power agreement that
Speaker 1: we're all stuck in. M hmm. And when you can't
Speaker 1: go to brunch, and when you can't go get your
Speaker 1: hair cut, and when you can't you go into Kroger
Speaker 1: and no cashiers that the cashier stands like also like
Speaker 1: access to resources and just like supply chains, everything like
Speaker 1: it's money. But it's also like people don't want to
Speaker 1: go about their married lives like nothing's wrong, and when
Speaker 1: they suddenly can't everything is shut down. That's when it's
Speaker 1: like you have to pay attention to the issues that
Speaker 1: are going on. You cannot pretend like this is business
Speaker 1: is do you think like this that could if we
Speaker 1: disrupt the brunch culture enough, the uh, the white woman
Speaker 1: brunch Brigade would just be out there in the streets
Speaker 1: being like, we need our fucking brunch, Amy Coney Barrett
Speaker 1: riots would finally happen. Yeah. One other thing that's happening
Speaker 1: just with the growths to the election is that Trump
Speaker 1: is urging people. He he has convinced himself that everybody
Speaker 1: wants to change their vote because of the Hunter Biden thing.
Speaker 1: So like all those early voters, Uh he that's some
Speaker 1: wishful last thing. Yeah, Fox and Friends, you know, the
Speaker 1: basically he's urging people to change their votes because the
Speaker 1: TV told him to. Um. Yeah, Fox and Friends like
Speaker 1: looked at Google trends and was like, people are searching
Speaker 1: can I change my vote? Um? First of all, I'm
Speaker 1: sure that people searching that for about their like relatives
Speaker 1: who voted earlier or some ship like that, because I
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people are like do like yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: And by the way, the answer is there five states
Speaker 1: where it's legal to do that. They are New York, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: and Minnesota are the only places that you're allowed to
Speaker 1: But yeah. I mean, like, can you imagine He's like,
Speaker 1: should we tell people that they can actually switch also
Speaker 1: in case they're locked into Biden, that they can go
Speaker 1: to Trump. Can they do that? I wonder if how
Speaker 1: many people were actually surging because they're like, fun, Brav
Speaker 1: voted for Trump early. I need to reverse that. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, they're just kind of like completely misreading that.
Speaker 1: It's really it's so weird, right because on one level,
Speaker 1: you see how just inept bumbling, foolish, ignorant, stupid, this
Speaker 1: entire administration and like campaign has been, and you're like, dude,
Speaker 1: there's no way that they can fucking pull this ship
Speaker 1: off there. This motherfucker's out here asking telling people, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe change your vote. I don't know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: Like that sounds like some desperate ass ship when you
Speaker 1: know you're polling or the people around and you know
Speaker 1: what's going on and they know what time it is.
Speaker 1: But then they have all this other ship in place.
Speaker 1: So it's like, I think that's what's so stressful about
Speaker 1: this too. Would be one thing. I think it would
Speaker 1: be easier if I go, you know what, man, I
Speaker 1: just I'm just gonna start doing my push ups for
Speaker 1: November five, you know, I mean November four and every
Speaker 1: day past that, and get ready because I already know
Speaker 1: that they've already just said he's the winner versus like
Speaker 1: this thing where he looks like he's fucking up and
Speaker 1: he acknowledged everyone else around him, like this guy's sucking up.
Speaker 1: Or but then you see that there's all this outright
Speaker 1: sabotage happening from the from the judiciary who whoa put
Speaker 1: your blood Put your blood pressure cuff on, y'all and
Speaker 1: check your numbers too quick, make sure you're doing okay,
Speaker 1: jump off here and do some cardio here, ready to run? Yeah,
Speaker 1: ship seriously, all right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back, and let's do
Speaker 1: a little brain bleach news before we get back into
Speaker 1: some election bullshit. Quick breath of fresh air is giving
Speaker 1: away tomato blood catchup via TikTok. That's a headline on
Speaker 1: the tap. That's also a sentence that's definitely never been
Speaker 1: said before. That's I mean, like, that's the most twenty
Speaker 1: headline that is not a doom based headline, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like normally you're like, like, is your
Speaker 1: vote transforming into a wuhan bat and biting your elderly relatives.
Speaker 1: I would also be like, guess that sounds like headline,
Speaker 1: but this the idea of yes, pretty self explanatory Hines
Speaker 1: rebranding ketchup as tomato blood and using TikTok to get
Speaker 1: the buying of gen z, and I was just I mean,
Speaker 1: the bottle looks I'm not gonna lie. The bottle looks cool.
Speaker 1: I actually prefer the tomato blood aesthetic than our typical
Speaker 1: catchup thing. But they're not like thinning the ketchup or
Speaker 1: anything that's actual blood consistency. I would imagine, well, I
Speaker 1: might have to check that out as opposed to just
Speaker 1: being a label, like who knows, could you handle if
Speaker 1: it was less viscous but had the same flavor, if
Speaker 1: it was the consistency of like cholula. Yeah, Chula is
Speaker 1: kind of a viscous, but not quite like thick, you know,
Speaker 1: putting thick as ketchup is yeah, I don't know what.
Speaker 1: The one thing I think about is like, this is
Speaker 1: such a non controversial thing, or it's like, oh, tomato
Speaker 1: but cool Hines, Like what would happen if Hines got political?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Because there's such an American
Speaker 1: brand like you could be racist as fuck or you
Speaker 1: know so left that you're you fucking left earth. Uh
Speaker 1: that like like Hinz is just accepted as like yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's catch up here, that's ketchup, straight up and
Speaker 1: down the middle. That if they were like instead of
Speaker 1: tomato blood, they're like, what about this fall laborer blood?
Speaker 1: To bring awareness to the disposable attitudes we have towards
Speaker 1: certain occupations in the pandemic, Like would Republicans full room?
Speaker 1: They have to they have to go hunts, Like that's
Speaker 1: like I feel like they have a line. I feel
Speaker 1: I do feel like that would be the one brand
Speaker 1: that they would just go. I mean, we can't, we
Speaker 1: can't do that. Come on, but could they? But what
Speaker 1: if you were instead of Nikes? But come on, man,
Speaker 1: I got I can't There is there a brand that
Speaker 1: could get political and America like conservatives would really have
Speaker 1: trouble being like I can't fucking put that down? But
Speaker 1: why is there that down? Bud heavy? But but yeah,
Speaker 1: they'd probably just switch over coffee. They don't give a
Speaker 1: funk about um, Like and I'm sure if it was
Speaker 1: there's enough truck makers that you could just pivot from
Speaker 1: one truck company the other one. But I would be
Speaker 1: like Ford and yeah you would need like Chevy Dodge
Speaker 1: and for a mecca like yeah, negasorda rock And they're
Speaker 1: showing like immigrant workers, you know what I mean, who
Speaker 1: are actually doing the hard work in this country and
Speaker 1: being like to the real workers of this country. We
Speaker 1: salute you, like we're spending more money to like into
Speaker 1: programs for job security and trade school for people for
Speaker 1: a better tomorrow. Then, because I know, like people, truck
Speaker 1: people are loyalist. Fuck you know what I mean, like
Speaker 1: truck you know, people like especially like a Silverado stuff.
Speaker 1: I know some people who's like their dads were Silverado
Speaker 1: people and their kids are Silverado people and they still
Speaker 1: just have this thing. But I don't know, I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to create a bad time for consumers
Speaker 1: who like Coke v PEPSI I feel like that that
Speaker 1: would be the switch. How that how would that look
Speaker 1: in Georgia? Though? Yeah, like if if coke super woke Coke,
Speaker 1: I hope they're listening and like scribbling down some ideas
Speaker 1: because some of the shouldn't stop us. That's the actually
Speaker 1: need to do it. It was stock numbers rather than
Speaker 1: Coke zero. How about woke heroes? Coke zero salutes the
Speaker 1: woke heroes? Could you get could you put down? Do
Speaker 1: you like pepsi more than coke? Are you coke pepsi people?
Speaker 1: Does it matter to you? It's all the same to me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is kind of the same. Yeah. If if there's anything
Speaker 1: I like, I'm the only pepsi in that pepsi. Like,
Speaker 1: if there's pepsi at a restaurant, there's a better chance
Speaker 1: that it's gonna have mountain dew. That's that's only. That's
Speaker 1: that's when your eyes light up. Yeah, well you know
Speaker 1: what it thought of if the opposite happened. It's like
Speaker 1: candy corn or something like terrible that everyone hates came
Speaker 1: out as like hating Muslims and all the relervatives are
Speaker 1: like only with that, and you're fine, like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I couldn't mean this more, but keep that ahead. Let's
Speaker 1: keep that one's for you didn't need that. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about putin real quick. Uh. He's given a little bit
Speaker 1: more less straightforward endorsements of of Trump's campaign. He might
Speaker 1: be TUSI sliding out of there, but he you know,
Speaker 1: Trump's made his whole career about praising DJ vlad Putin
Speaker 1: uh and basically saying like, you know, like it's it's
Speaker 1: not from Russhirt, it's out a hoax setting. It's all
Speaker 1: this Russher hoax stuff. But Putin is good. You want
Speaker 1: to have good relationship with Russia, blah blah blah. But
Speaker 1: then there was this thing that he was saying at
Speaker 1: the last debate that apparently did that Vladimir Putin was
Speaker 1: not really vibing with. It was this whole thing when
Speaker 1: during the debate was like, you know, Joe Biden got
Speaker 1: three and a half million dollars from Russia. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you guys know this, and he kept saying
Speaker 1: he got three and people like, what the funk are
Speaker 1: you know? Because but it was just it was just
Speaker 1: on the long list of senile ramblings that he did
Speaker 1: up there when people were like, oh my god, he's
Speaker 1: fully he is now a president, and I'm like, y'all
Speaker 1: also need to go to straight to the garbage dump too.
Speaker 1: But Trump was claiming again that that Biden got three
Speaker 1: and a half million from Russia and it came through
Speaker 1: Putin because he was quote very friendly with the former
Speaker 1: mayor of Moscow, and it was the mayor of Moscow's wife,
Speaker 1: and people are like, okay, paid attention to that, but
Speaker 1: I mean it's like a thing he said, and you're like,
Speaker 1: all right, do please stop trying to make this ship happen.
Speaker 1: And then apparently he was referring to a deal that
Speaker 1: was brought up in the fucking Senate Republican report that
Speaker 1: they had like their Hunter Biden smear piece that was
Speaker 1: basically people were like, this is chock full of Russian misinformation,
Speaker 1: like which basically comes from Putin's head. So this whole
Speaker 1: thing of like trying to tie it to the mayor
Speaker 1: of Moscow, Putin did not, like he said quote he
Speaker 1: Putin also reacted with visible irritation when asked about comments
Speaker 1: Trump has made concerning Putin's ties to the four mem
Speaker 1: mayor of Moscow, because like they were close, and he
Speaker 1: does like he's like, yo, don't fucking drag me into
Speaker 1: this bullshit. That's not what's going on. So now, when
Speaker 1: Putin was asked to, like, you know, Vladimir Putin, let's
Speaker 1: let's get your take on Hunter Biden, because that's some
Speaker 1: that's some ship, Trump is out here asking like, that's
Speaker 1: the fucking nailing the coffin for the Biden campaign. Do
Speaker 1: you agree? Uh, and then putin basically he's like not really, no,
Speaker 1: I don't know. He basically threw cold water on his
Speaker 1: own propaganda. Okay, by saying quote, this is his answer. Yes,
Speaker 1: in Ukraine he hunter Biden had or maybe he still
Speaker 1: has a business. I don't know. It doesn't concern us,
Speaker 1: it concerns the Americans and the Ukrainians. And then he says, uh, quote,
Speaker 1: but well, yes he had at least one company which
Speaker 1: he practically headed up, and judging from everything, he made
Speaker 1: good money. I don't see anything criminal about this. At
Speaker 1: least we don't know anything about this being criminal. And it
Speaker 1: it was like very just dismissive about its gangster ship.
Speaker 1: Let's be real, it does Trump me up all of
Speaker 1: this misinformation to meddle in our election in and then
Speaker 1: be like, oh, I don't know, yeah, it sounds like
Speaker 1: that dude Trump is a loser. Damn. I don't know
Speaker 1: why I'm working with him. That's weird. I heard he
Speaker 1: stinks and his hair is fake, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's just me and you don't want to talk about
Speaker 1: that I have to. I have some tapes that I
Speaker 1: might release, but you know, I don't know. I'm just playing.
Speaker 1: But don't make me getting don't make me get in
Speaker 1: my bag. The whole thing with him, though, is it's
Speaker 1: so then there's another thing right where you see you
Speaker 1: see the polls, you see people like Vladimir Putin, who
Speaker 1: seemed to be gearing up for a Biden presidency, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Because if he was ready for that,
Speaker 1: like if he was like, yo, du Trump, I got
Speaker 1: your back, like whatever funk you want, Like let's do
Speaker 1: this ship, Let's do sixteen all over again, like I
Speaker 1: got you. Uh, he's definitely not going all in on
Speaker 1: this hunter hunter Biden smear when he probably could if
Speaker 1: he was trying to help the president or I don't know.
Speaker 1: So you're just like you see, look like Putin is
Speaker 1: scooting on out, But I don't know, it's it's still
Speaker 1: like so frightening, you know, because you'd think, like the
Speaker 1: nightmare scenario is one where Putin and Russia are giving
Speaker 1: the full backing to like anything that the president is
Speaker 1: probably asking for by back channeling or whatever method of
Speaker 1: communication he's using. But I don't know, maybe maybe the
Speaker 1: real work will be done completely under the shadows, and
Speaker 1: we get another intelligence report being like, oh yeah, they
Speaker 1: they just changed all the vote numbers, right, yeah, they
Speaker 1: just changed your vote. Yeah. Oh yeah, that's what they know.
Speaker 1: And they didn't they were they weren't really working with
Speaker 1: the misinformation this time. They had straight into the fucking
Speaker 1: uh Secretary of State websites and just number crunching. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like eight twenty like landslide electoral votes, right,
Speaker 1: just completely gone. Yeah uh all right, And then finally
Speaker 1: let's talk about the most important aspect of this campaign.
Speaker 1: That is, of course the shitty merchant spring um, which
Speaker 1: got a lot of you know in sixteen when those
Speaker 1: red hats started being seen as you know, an important
Speaker 1: part of Trump, like a regular red hat anymore, and
Speaker 1: not have a panic hat they're dead or from the
Speaker 1: back and you're like you have to like run, You're like,
Speaker 1: real quick, make sure it's not maga and like angels angels, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Angels, Like all professional sports teams need to change
Speaker 1: their fucking hats. Um angels. Who else we got? You
Speaker 1: don't like? Nah? Just my favorite logo is the Yankees. Bro, No,
Speaker 1: I don't I like the simple logos. I like the
Speaker 1: Dodgers logo. I like those, um and the bikes. They
Speaker 1: then thought that by that logic the Yankees too of
Speaker 1: just taking like the initial Boston Yeah, those are those
Speaker 1: are fine. Um alright, Boston bro, but you can't wear
Speaker 1: that in l a though. You get sucking. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: will get pressed because that is a gag. I've only
Speaker 1: rooted for the Dodgers for the past like five years.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, just through Osmosis man Moses jes As people
Speaker 1: hear this. We don't know what happened with the World Series.
Speaker 1: I mean, we could be champions, so we could be
Speaker 1: it could be a Game seven where we cry in
Speaker 1: Game seven. I don't know. Those have not been fun.
Speaker 1: Um alright, let's talk about what Joe Biden's got on
Speaker 1: the Joe Biden Joe three oh three three o uh
Speaker 1: store dot store dot dot org. Uh. So you know
Speaker 1: that I did not see this coming personally. This dude
Speaker 1: thought Malarkey was like calling it the No Malarkey Express
Speaker 1: was like the wave early on in the campaign. But
Speaker 1: they've been like doing the churning out the crappy products
Speaker 1: based on viral news stories pretty powerfully. They were selling
Speaker 1: a ten dollar Biden themed fly swatter truth over Flies
Speaker 1: after the Pence thing, and they sold thirty five thousand
Speaker 1: that night. Yeah, troup over truth overlies, psych truth over
Speaker 1: flies because that because freaking vice president with his fly
Speaker 1: on his head, that's what so camp that confused me.
Speaker 1: I'm like, truth overfly, No, they're not good at it.
Speaker 1: That's like a little bit more. I'm like just say, like, yo,
Speaker 1: hit Pence over the head with this ship. I would
Speaker 1: about that. You know, you don't have to do truth overflies.
Speaker 1: They had the t shirts I paid more income taxes
Speaker 1: than Donald Trump and and then after the first debate
Speaker 1: they just had a picture of Donald Trump with the
Speaker 1: word with the words will you shut up? Man? Uh,
Speaker 1: prayer over it. So these are bad products objectively, like
Speaker 1: they're doing a bad job, but they're selling really well.
Speaker 1: So it leads me to believe that there's a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of energy behind the Biden campaign. Um
Speaker 1: or we start looking at FEC filings and like the
Speaker 1: Biding campaigns right right right, yeah, exactly, there's a Trump
Speaker 1: administration spent hundreds of thousand dollars on Donald Trump Jr's
Speaker 1: book to get it on the best you know, and
Speaker 1: and they're trying to say that they have a fractured relationship.
Speaker 1: Come on, I mean, the good parents know you don't
Speaker 1: need love as long as you spend money on the kids,
Speaker 1: and the kids will understand long term they didn't need love,
Speaker 1: they just need that money. I'm reminded of like a
Speaker 1: story that one of the children, one of the scions
Speaker 1: uh told where they were like, yeah, my dad was great.
Speaker 1: He would take a skiing and then race us down
Speaker 1: the mountain and like knock us over with with his no.
Speaker 1: But he was saying. Then he would be like Donald
Speaker 1: would be like, yo, the first one down the mountain
Speaker 1: gets love. So the kids would be sucking each other
Speaker 1: up on down on the stop. Yeah yeah, and then
Speaker 1: he was like psych your loser for never. Um, it's gross,
Speaker 1: it's gross. I mean, out to see the germs. You don't,
Speaker 1: you don't, you don't do that. Biden's been selling hand sanitizer,
Speaker 1: the label of which contains Biden's pandemic kind of microscopic
Speaker 1: letter dr browners not not. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't look
Speaker 1: like they did that. Hopefully Cut probably like, oh, you're
Speaker 1: gonna sue us, So what do you support Trump? That
Speaker 1: was what I would probably say I was there, lawyer,
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, if you want to go forward this lawsuit,
Speaker 1: you're basically communicating everybody that you support Trump, so let
Speaker 1: us infringe on your copyright, intellectual property, sell this stuff.
Speaker 1: Trump's products have mainly been I think Parscale getting fired
Speaker 1: like has lessened their quirky product game because they all
Speaker 1: they had was a T shirt that said fill that
Speaker 1: seat to I guess celebrate the death of Petter Ginsber. Okay,
Speaker 1: yeah really, and then a white baseball cap that says
Speaker 1: woke on the front, and then mega and cursive is
Speaker 1: so so confusing, doesn't make any sense as a maga
Speaker 1: some racist like no woke person, no progressive person where
Speaker 1: I had this as racist, So like, in what reality
Speaker 1: are you wearing a thing on the back right, which
Speaker 1: would be a kind of genius, but like who would
Speaker 1: wear had this is woke when you know, like you're
Speaker 1: like that's shitty, that's dumb. I hate as well, seem
Speaker 1: like yeah, like what they got new hoodies that just
Speaker 1: say socialist now and like with baga on the back,
Speaker 1: Like I don't, wow, they're they're not even thinking they're
Speaker 1: troll merch will go wear that at a Trump rally
Speaker 1: because they're to knock you out. Traditional traditionally very attentive
Speaker 1: to Yeah, traditionally very attentive to nuance. Uh, and just well,
Speaker 1: we'll wait around and hear your explanation before punching you
Speaker 1: or um, you know, threatening to hang you from a tree.
Speaker 1: There's also the Proud Boys merch. After he told the
Speaker 1: Proud Boys to stand back and stand by, the Proud
Speaker 1: Boys started selling, so they cashed in, which is good.
Speaker 1: Did love to see it? Um, you really to see it?
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's that's The Proud Boys merch is kind
Speaker 1: of interesting too, because like it's supposed to look like
Speaker 1: a laurel, like you know, like the Fred Perry shirts
Speaker 1: are ripping off, but it ends up looking like SS
Speaker 1: Lightning Book. I never noticed that before. Wait, I don't
Speaker 1: think it ends up like I think they specifically designed
Speaker 1: it to make make it look like Yeah. Well, I
Speaker 1: mean if you no one's surprised on this side, because
Speaker 1: everything they do is like, yeah, we fire up to
Speaker 1: Lenny Reef, install greatest hits. Uh, let's see how we
Speaker 1: can change some campaign as to look like that. Yeah, well, Mariah,
Speaker 1: it has been wonderful having you as always where can

Speaker 1: out and get it out? See the thing is like
Speaker 1: putting on an album in a pandemic. You can't like
Speaker 1: toward or like promoted or anything. So like we're hoping
Speaker 1: to put it out when this is over. If it
Speaker 1: doesn't ever end, then probably like next summer or something. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, We'll keep our Uh And is there a
Speaker 1: tweet or some other work of social media you've been enjoying.

Speaker 1: fact about about people who suffer from depression, and like
Speaker 1: when their lives are viewed objectively versus people who don't
Speaker 1: suffer from depression, their version of their own reality is
Speaker 1: actually more accurate than people who don't suffer from depression
