Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of The
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh These are some of our favorite segments
Speaker 1: from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment
Speaker 1: laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is
Speaker 1: the Weekly Zeitgeist. We're fur to be joined in our
Speaker 1: third seats by a very funny stand up comedian, writer
Speaker 1: poet who you know from such places as TV, The
Speaker 1: Harvard Review, and her amazing podcast In Your Hands. It's
Speaker 1: one of their new favorite guests on this show. It
Speaker 1: is the hilarious and talented Lizzie Cooper Mad Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I lost my voice just that. In your name. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, welcome back, welcome back, thank you. It's nothing.
Speaker 1: It's short of a thrill to be here. You honor
Speaker 1: us with such a description. What what sort of adventures
Speaker 1: have your listeners been taking you on? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's it has been truly wild. I'm trying to even
Speaker 1: think of where we left off. I was supposed to
Speaker 1: take the first job that I got on Craigslist gigs section.
Speaker 1: I applied to be a hair model. I have very
Speaker 1: long hair, and I said I'll be a hair model
Speaker 1: for this fledgling beautician or Styla's who wants to try
Speaker 1: you know, the pixie cut. Oh, oh my god, you
Speaker 1: were about to let this person hit you with the
Speaker 1: pixie If they responded first, I was gonna I would
Speaker 1: have Wow, Lizzy. I applied to work as a Halloween
Speaker 1: performer on someone's front lawn. They specified you had to
Speaker 1: be fun spooky, so I was trying to figure out
Speaker 1: where is the line. Yeah, because they're not just like
Speaker 1: disturbing spook, right, Just don't go up to people and
Speaker 1: be like I killed your brother. That's regular spooky going
Speaker 1: up to a little kid like Earth won't be here
Speaker 1: when you're my age, please please don't what not telling
Speaker 1: the truth exactly like the adult Greta Thunberg. Yeah, there
Speaker 1: is a There was a street or a house of
Speaker 1: the street for me that did a climate based Halloween
Speaker 1: themed like decoration, which I was like, yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 1: And then they also had a Rick Carusoe yard sign.
Speaker 1: Rick Cruso, the billionaire mall magnate who's supposed to, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, solve all of l A's problems. We don't
Speaker 1: have the results that he's making. It snow at the
Speaker 1: grove right exactly about climate what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history? Okay, well I was gonna say best seats
Speaker 1: so Fi Stadium, but I feel like that's just more
Speaker 1: of us talking about the same. But I also had
Speaker 1: recently googled Irish girls names, and that was because I
Speaker 1: was panicking at a show where I knew they were
Speaker 1: filming the sets. And I've been doing a joke where
Speaker 1: I say a real person's name, and I thought maybe
Speaker 1: I should come up with a different name. But it's
Speaker 1: just such a funny name to me. And I was
Speaker 1: in the back trying to come up with a fake name.
Speaker 1: And the problem with that stuff is it's the real
Speaker 1: example is always funnier, just like not possible, Like I
Speaker 1: wish I could. I'll share offline with you guys the
Speaker 1: name that I that is the true name of this
Speaker 1: real person. But I was like in the back being like,
Speaker 1: I can't say sirsha Everyone knows that name as Sir Sharonian,
Speaker 1: like I mean, and these are just you know what,
Speaker 1: I feel like, that's a shift on succession. We're hearing that,
Speaker 1: you know what is it? But that is another iconic one, right,
Speaker 1: kind of a cool name. Yeah, this is more of
Speaker 1: like a the joke I do is I call her
Speaker 1: a white girl named after a pony, and I feel
Speaker 1: like I feel like sand is not a pony name.
Speaker 1: You know, is running that that that whole operation for sure.
Speaker 1: I feel like you can't go wrong with a Mary
Speaker 1: to start it off, like Mary Sheila. Oh yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: a two partner name like Mary Sheilah. Yeah, maybe I
Speaker 1: can make up a whole hands big name with the
Speaker 1: Irish last name. It's funny how it's true, Like truth
Speaker 1: in comedy is always like the thing you like, one
Speaker 1: of the first things you really learn when you're getting
Speaker 1: into comedy. And yeah, like to your point, even if
Speaker 1: you tried to engineer it, the fact, like you know,
Speaker 1: it's just funnier because it's coming from the absolute like
Speaker 1: well of truth and that probably translates immediately to the
Speaker 1: didn't even know They're like, was that the person's real name?
Speaker 1: You think? It just like the delivery and everything it
Speaker 1: comes together beautiful. How did it go? What would you
Speaker 1: come up with? And did did it hit as hard
Speaker 1: with the fake name in there? I just said her
Speaker 1: real name. It's like, you know what, And it's like
Speaker 1: a thing where I don't think that it's they're going
Speaker 1: to put that part out one it'll be fine, and
Speaker 1: you know what, if that girl finds out, I'd honestly
Speaker 1: be shocked. But I just I think sometimes once in comedy,
Speaker 1: when it's like there's something about a show that's not
Speaker 1: being filmed, where you go like, I mean, I'm technically
Speaker 1: speaking into a microphone to an audience. This is not private,
Speaker 1: but it feels different when you're filming and like posting
Speaker 1: something online and all that feels like a different level.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but yeah, the real, the real example
Speaker 1: is always the funniest. Yeah, what is something shanning you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? Okay? I think I think smooth ageless
Speaker 1: skin is overrated, all right. And the reason I'm saying
Speaker 1: this is because I am being bombarded. I am being
Speaker 1: harassed constantly seven with like every product that's like, don't
Speaker 1: you want to get rid of your nasty crater old
Speaker 1: woman's skin? And I'm like, whoa Jesus, what is happening?
Speaker 1: And it's like Black Friday is coming up. I don't
Speaker 1: know what it is, really, but it feels like it
Speaker 1: feels like every year now it's like getting longer. It
Speaker 1: used to be like a day, Now it's a week
Speaker 1: now this year, it feels like it's a year long event,
Speaker 1: and I'm getting so many Black Friday deals for like
Speaker 1: all these like lasers and things, and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: you know what, Like I'm I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed about it.
Speaker 1: Leave me alone. I don't care. I'm about to take
Speaker 1: a knife to my face and give myself the deep
Speaker 1: lines and just be like, look, look, it's fine, you know,
Speaker 1: Like I'm I'm so happy. Yeah, it's okay. Because it's
Speaker 1: a little intense and like we're all in the same
Speaker 1: age group. Are are you all getting harassed on social
Speaker 1: media with this stuff? I see I see increased like
Speaker 1: men's in care things pop up. But yeah, I'm I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think again. I just try and ignore
Speaker 1: as many ads as possible unless it's like a gigantic
Speaker 1: blanket I can wear, and the I'm like, well, hold on,
Speaker 1: what's this. I'm in the market for that. I don't
Speaker 1: need things. It's like your pores look like the surface
Speaker 1: of the moon, and I'm like, what the fun I'm like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I like, I want a blanket. I'll buy so
Speaker 1: many blankets. I'll buy a blanket from my face, but like,
Speaker 1: stop sending me these ads where it's like, we know
Speaker 1: you're dying, don't look out sexy and tire the fact
Speaker 1: that you're dying from anyone else. I'm like, I think
Speaker 1: the fact that I'm dying is cool, Okay, Like I'm
Speaker 1: I think it's relatable that we're all aging and I
Speaker 1: love it, like I love my face. Right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's just funked up when the marketing is like, hey,
Speaker 1: you should be in denial about your mortality because that's
Speaker 1: the most unhealthy ship. Because if the second you go
Speaker 1: down that road of like, oh, I can prevent like
Speaker 1: having to be visited by my own mortality. When I
Speaker 1: look in the mirror, I feel like that's where, you know,
Speaker 1: you can get a little bit too invested in that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, when I say that as somebody
Speaker 1: with basically no wrinkles, maybe because the genetics have blessed me.
Speaker 1: So for all y'all out there with the prune skin,
Speaker 1: you know, I feel for y'all. Miles sponsored by one
Speaker 1: of these firms. But I do have to say on
Speaker 1: his behalf that he's okay. Yeah, so it's not it's
Speaker 1: not total Paola. Yeah, but I do inject human growth
Speaker 1: hormone directly into my the corner something. He has a
Speaker 1: proprietary serum that he's trying to push. You're one of
Speaker 1: that Black Friday, and I mean, like, I'm sure you
Speaker 1: don't feel good, you know, knowing that you're just a
Speaker 1: rotting corpse every day, right, So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of fun. Like I've always felt
Speaker 1: like this body, Like I've always felt like, oh man,
Speaker 1: I can't wait to just be like an ethereal gas again.
Speaker 1: Like you know, like my body has always kind of
Speaker 1: just been like clearly like designed to keep me grounded.
Speaker 1: And I'm a Pisces scorpion moon. Oh listen, I want
Speaker 1: to float. I want to be in the sky. So
Speaker 1: like I kind of think part of our human journey
Speaker 1: and like the fact that we are slowly decaying and
Speaker 1: eventually going to die. Like I think that's the coolest
Speaker 1: part about life. It's like it's enjoyed this, this is
Speaker 1: fun and at the end we get this this like
Speaker 1: ultimate release, this like cool transformation, this level up. Like
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not trying to Heaven's gate it, but
Speaker 1: you know, when when organically op Yeah, but if it
Speaker 1: organically happens to me, or you know, or if I
Speaker 1: see it happening slowly, I'm not going to fight it.
Speaker 1: So like you know, lasers are cool, but like lasers
Speaker 1: that are meant to shame me, I don't think lasers
Speaker 1: should shame. Okay, I don't think we should be engaging
Speaker 1: in shame, especially not revolving around appearance, and especially when
Speaker 1: you know the comment hail Bob is about to do
Speaker 1: another periheli in by the earth in which catch it
Speaker 1: this time? Yeah, well, don't don't miss your chance this
Speaker 1: time mess it up like those dudes are falling Marshall
Speaker 1: apple White did Did they mess it out? Miles or
Speaker 1: are they partying right now? On the tail of what's
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated? Okay? Staying on theme, Black
Speaker 1: Friday is overrated? Black Christmas is underrated? Are y'all fans
Speaker 1: of the horror movie Black Christmas? I am not I
Speaker 1: am not not a fan. I just have not gotten
Speaker 1: into it. But I have heard like that. Then than
Speaker 1: people remember no, I never heard of this. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: so whoa and I went to school with her? Okay,
Speaker 1: go on, well there's the there there's a remake that
Speaker 1: came out a few years ago, but the original one,
Speaker 1: I think came out in nineteen seventy four, and it's
Speaker 1: a Christmas not themed but like it's a horror movie
Speaker 1: that takes place during Christmas break on a college campus.
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons why it is iconic and
Speaker 1: underrated to me is that the whole like trope of
Speaker 1: the final girl in horror movies, like we think it
Speaker 1: started with Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween, which came out
Speaker 1: right after Black Christmas, but this movie Black Christmas was
Speaker 1: actually the first to include a final girl, the one
Speaker 1: who survives at the very end. But unlike the trope
Speaker 1: where she's like super chaste and virginal, this character, Jess
Speaker 1: is we know she's sexual because she's pregnant and she's
Speaker 1: getting an abortion, but she's not like punished for it.
Speaker 1: In fact, like her boyfriend, who's a jerk about it,
Speaker 1: ends up getting slashed spoiler. And it was just a
Speaker 1: really fascinating, like I don't know, to me see kind
Speaker 1: of what could have been. But it was the same
Speaker 1: director who went on to make a Christmas story, so
Speaker 1: clearly he loves Christmas. Another dark take. He was like,
Speaker 1: oh too, dark and a Christmas story. Okay, Okay, Bob Clark,
Speaker 1: there's there's your double feature and it is legit scary.
Speaker 1: It is very very spooky scary. I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: what didn't interesting storyline with this character? Like it's going
Speaker 1: against most of like American trumps, like a Canadian slasher film. Okay,
Speaker 1: I like that. I see I see it now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's wild that the slasher genre like started in a
Speaker 1: very progressive place and then they're like, nah, well we'll
Speaker 1: make it basically a metaphor for puritan values. Right, that's wild.
Speaker 1: I think there's another Christmas horror movie that I've seen
Speaker 1: billboards for with a Santa. That's the one with the
Speaker 1: guy from David Harbor. David Harbor. Yeah, yeah, what the
Speaker 1: fund is that one Harbor Santa movie? Violent Night Night
Speaker 1: Kill Santa. Let's just what my kids need to see.
Speaker 1: And I think Hallmark should really kind of get in
Speaker 1: on this, you know, the holiday horror genre. Really it's
Speaker 1: worth it. I don't. I don't see that. I like
Speaker 1: somebody who watches so much Hallmark movies, I'm like, can
Speaker 1: we spice it up a little, because some motherfucker gets
Speaker 1: stabbed in this movie? Please, just to kind of keep
Speaker 1: things going. They have one that's like there's a series
Speaker 1: of films that's sort of like a murder mystery one
Speaker 1: and like one takes place during the holidays, but they
Speaker 1: don't they haven't leaned into that. I mean, I get
Speaker 1: it because Hallmark, like I'm pretty sure they have this
Speaker 1: thing where like you can't even have They used to
Speaker 1: say you can't have magic ship like be the inciting
Speaker 1: incident in it because Christians, you know, I don't like that.
Speaker 1: Just keep it, keep it, keep it, you know, keep it,
Speaker 1: you know, nice and above board with God. Mhmm, yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be my main objection. So I'm glad to
Speaker 1: see that that rule is being I think it is
Speaker 1: rolled back. But there was a while where like people
Speaker 1: like it's like in talking with people who make them,
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, you can't pitch Hallmarket thing where like
Speaker 1: like magic is like the main point of something occurring
Speaker 1: in this Christmas story or else they'll be like mad, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is this is Satan Satan ship, right, although maybe
Speaker 1: maybe like they're just wrong, and it would it would
Speaker 1: push things like like nobody thought you should include religion
Speaker 1: in your horror movies until the Exorcist. So just say, Christmas,
Speaker 1: the holidays are a lot darker than people have depict
Speaker 1: them in their shows. So Christener you a big horror
Speaker 1: slash slasher slash slasher fan. I sound like it, but
Speaker 1: not especially. I have like some select favorites, and black
Speaker 1: Christmas is one of them. And yeah, I'm just thinking,
Speaker 1: if we're gonna, if we're gonna have to have a
Speaker 1: you know, two month long Christmas season, now holiday season. Now,
Speaker 1: let's spice up to Avatar, to the way of the
Speaker 1: Water season in my household. All right, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back,
Speaker 1: and knives are out for Trump and the Republican Party.
Speaker 1: They're they're just looking for their like, well, it can't
Speaker 1: be our politics. The people rejected, So what do we
Speaker 1: What do we do here? What do we him? You
Speaker 1: get mad at him? Right now? They're choosing the one
Speaker 1: person that they absolutely can't get rid of. I'm sure
Speaker 1: that I have to assume this is a this is
Speaker 1: a passing fad. As soon as they look at the
Speaker 1: numbers again, they'll be like, oh wait, our Trump guy.
Speaker 1: But the problem is, right, this is like the one
Speaker 1: time where they absolutely need to find something different because
Speaker 1: with Trump at the ticket, it's been consecutive elections where
Speaker 1: they're just losing. Yeah, Like it's it's been a downward
Speaker 1: trend every since and like but it's funny, like they
Speaker 1: always there there's a lot of outrage from like mainstream
Speaker 1: Republican figures, but like each time there's some ship like
Speaker 1: this the Ukraine call meddling with the d o J
Speaker 1: attempted election theft, there are always like a few more
Speaker 1: Republicans are like, oh, I wouldn't do that, but then
Speaker 1: they don't do anything. They get too scared, and next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, they realize, oh, that's right, this dude is
Speaker 1: my daddy now. And last week a lot of the
Speaker 1: media outlets on the right came for him. In the
Speaker 1: National Review, the headline was Trump is a bust for Republicans. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: and then uh going to Ruper Murdach, what's he doing
Speaker 1: over there? Well, the most of the channels are like,
Speaker 1: I don't know about this guy. On the New York Post,
Speaker 1: the cover on Thursday showed Trump as trumpty dumpty don
Speaker 1: who couldn't build a wall, had a great fall. Can
Speaker 1: all the GOP's men put the party back together again. Uh,
Speaker 1: and they're all kind of getting they're all using Trump
Speaker 1: as this excuse, but they let them run that entire title.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a New York Post like whenever it's
Speaker 1: like pun filled, they're like, man, fuck whatever, both of
Speaker 1: the standards are, get that pun in there. But you know,
Speaker 1: like they kind of tried to stop him in sen
Speaker 1: like where that first, like this guy is gonna be bad,
Speaker 1: only to just realize like that, them constantly feeding the
Speaker 1: base like nativist bullshit in the eight years prior is
Speaker 1: like what made Trump absolutely irresistible to their voters. So
Speaker 1: they just got out the way and we're like amazed
Speaker 1: at what happened, and they excuse every single funk up
Speaker 1: because they really saw this guy as like the way
Speaker 1: to like that thing we talked about last week when
Speaker 1: Nick Fuentez like this, when right wing extremist time, like
Speaker 1: we just need a dictatorship. Man, doesn't matter how many
Speaker 1: more of them that there are than us. Well, we
Speaker 1: think we need to get them to be get in
Speaker 1: line with like our rules, and that's it. Many people
Speaker 1: saw Trump as being like, oh, this guy can just
Speaker 1: get this, Like if we just stay behind him, we
Speaker 1: might get to that place. So it's just kind of like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's really like we always say,
Speaker 1: there's no hypocrisy with like the base or the politicians
Speaker 1: on the right, because you know, like they know that
Speaker 1: this is all about just getting to the end game
Speaker 1: of just own the Libs fully and just having just
Speaker 1: give us absolute power and we'll look away at every
Speaker 1: single thing. But I don't know, it's just there. They
Speaker 1: keep trying to do this thing where they act like, oh,
Speaker 1: here we go, they're gonna dump them, but they've already
Speaker 1: like the toothpastes out the two Yeah, yeah, but they
Speaker 1: I mean, people were pointing out the New York Post
Speaker 1: has turned on Trump before, and everyone like it's the
Speaker 1: end for Trump. And then someone's like, actually, they we
Speaker 1: we all said that four years ago, like that this
Speaker 1: is you'll do this all the time. This is exactly Yeah,
Speaker 1: you didn't want him in the first place, Like the
Speaker 1: mainstream of the party didn't want him in the first place,
Speaker 1: and we're we're supporting Jeb Bush and other you know,
Speaker 1: establishment tickets. And then they realized quickly when the primary
Speaker 1: started that they couldn't beat him, and so they go,
Speaker 1: they go back to it. It's just there's not a
Speaker 1: great option. I mean, DeSantis seems to be the option
Speaker 1: that the like there maybe their best option, their best
Speaker 1: alternative to this point, but I I can't picture a
Speaker 1: version of this playing out where de Santi's beats Trump.
Speaker 1: He's just too much more entertaining. And there is he's
Speaker 1: a person who has a death cult, like we haven't
Speaker 1: had that it ever, like a large scale death cult
Speaker 1: in America. Like that's it's pretty wild. But yeah, it's like,
Speaker 1: but how do you get but they're kind of maxed
Speaker 1: out their membership on the death cult and now they're like, fuck,
Speaker 1: if this is the best we can do, and jerrymandering
Speaker 1: is like only barely getting us like to even footing,
Speaker 1: then what Because I think that's the thing that a
Speaker 1: lot of you know, like the consultant and strategy class
Speaker 1: of the party you're thinking about, like I don't know
Speaker 1: how the funk you're gonna win, like like you can
Speaker 1: only do so much without trying to figure out. Maybe
Speaker 1: someone else energizes more people to come back, and we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. But I think the thing that really
Speaker 1: said Trump off, especially last week because he lost it,
Speaker 1: like really in an interesting way. The New York Post,
Speaker 1: I think, on Friday posted this headline with him and
Speaker 1: his family after he won re election. It says, the
Speaker 1: future run the future. Yes, run the future. Okay, mask
Speaker 1: off And he's also mask off like future with his
Speaker 1: racism and just heinousness. But Donald Trump went out and
Speaker 1: then got on truth social and like email blasted everybody
Speaker 1: talking about how like I made this motherfucker When he
Speaker 1: said he was dying in the balls, I endorsed him.
Speaker 1: Then he said this, this is really interesting quote. I
Speaker 1: was all in for Ron and he beat Gillham. But
Speaker 1: after the race, when votes were being stolen by the
Speaker 1: corrupt election process in Browood County and Ron was going
Speaker 1: down ten thousand votes today along with now Senator Rick Scott,
Speaker 1: I sent in the FBI and the U S attorneys,
Speaker 1: and the ballot theft immediately ended, just prior to them
Speaker 1: running out of the votes necessary to win. I stepped
Speaker 1: this election from being stolen. Hold on, sir, what you said?
Speaker 1: Who to do? What a lot of people are like,
Speaker 1: is this for real? Did he really? Was? He already
Speaker 1: sucking with the like these mid terms, and I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people are like. It most likely is
Speaker 1: a reference to when then Florida Attorney General Pam bond
Speaker 1: I like took into listen to some bullshit claims was
Speaker 1: looking into some ship about voter fraud and they didn't
Speaker 1: find ship, and they kept it moving because I think
Speaker 1: most people have noticed we usually have here most of
Speaker 1: the ship that happens like in real time with this guy,
Speaker 1: It just depends on how much of it gets reported
Speaker 1: or not. And not many people found anything that, you know,
Speaker 1: that seemed consistent with what he just said. But again,
Speaker 1: I think shows his level of like, like he's really
Speaker 1: doing like I made you is the vibe right now.
Speaker 1: The only vision is empowers because I committed crimes to
Speaker 1: get him there easy. But that's what's so good about
Speaker 1: having the Republicans tied to somebody who is any any
Speaker 1: time he's under attack or like any something that he
Speaker 1: perceives as humiliating, which is almost everything, because that's just
Speaker 1: like how his brain work, Like anytime that's happening, he
Speaker 1: is like a person who's drowning and just pulling everyone
Speaker 1: in with him, just like fuck you on like and
Speaker 1: we'll keep doing that until he's on a pile of
Speaker 1: bodies like just it's like watching a magician bomb. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you did not see me switched the quarter into my
Speaker 1: other hand. When we did, we did. What the funk man?
Speaker 1: That wasn't magic? Okay? What about this guy? Like this
Speaker 1: guy was loving it a minute ago? To ask him
Speaker 1: what happened? He sent me up Actually, motherfucker, get up here.
Speaker 1: Let's all boo him. What? But yeah, I think then
Speaker 1: he went on and came after the governor like Glenn
Speaker 1: Unken and was like being like, I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: he's Asian. It sounds Asian to me. What kind of
Speaker 1: last name is young Ken? Like that's the I'm not joking.
Speaker 1: That was the level of shit talking he was at today.
Speaker 1: It was just being like, this dude's last name sounds Asian.
Speaker 1: This is what he said, young kid, and parenthetical that's
Speaker 1: an interesting take. Sounds Chinese, doesn't it? What are you doing?
Speaker 1: I think we should just isolate the side that Lizzie
Speaker 1: just said and that should be our only analysis of
Speaker 1: It's giving me a panic Like the idea of going
Speaker 1: back to it gives me a panic attack. Well, this
Speaker 1: is the thing, right, I think most people have seen
Speaker 1: all these MAGA candidates that were running to be elected.
Speaker 1: The ones that were re elected is one thing, But
Speaker 1: the people who are trying to unseat incumbents incumbents were
Speaker 1: not fucking winning, and that's a big thing that they're like, Dude,
Speaker 1: the MAGA ship is not as potent as it used
Speaker 1: to be. And I think that's that's the one thing
Speaker 1: that I will take as an indication of perhaps his
Speaker 1: stock somewhat dwindling. Is that, like it just like they
Speaker 1: wasn't quite getting over the line with some of these extremists.
Speaker 1: Like at a certain point some people are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like Donald Trump's like, but also like a lot of
Speaker 1: this ship is it doesn't sound like solution based at all.
Speaker 1: It sounds like, you know, let's just restrict people's access
Speaker 1: to like healthcare or privatize social curity and things like that.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, but you'd feel like if there
Speaker 1: was that sort of same energy behind it, that would
Speaker 1: have been borne out a little bit in the election results.
Speaker 1: So I think it's just merely like because the brand
Speaker 1: is just so it's just not as it's losing its
Speaker 1: appeal somewhat. Yeah, I feel like it's very muddy, Like
Speaker 1: like you said, it's on the one hand, it does
Speaker 1: seem like the Maggie candidates didn't do well, and but
Speaker 1: like all of the analysis of the midterm elections and
Speaker 1: like them being the opposite of what was predicted by
Speaker 1: the mainstream media, a lot of it is like, well,
Speaker 1: there is a candidate quality issue and Trump maybe like
Speaker 1: Trump's appeal maybe dwindling, but like that's hard to prove
Speaker 1: because he wasn't like on the ticket, you know, like
Speaker 1: he wasn't no, nobody was actually voting for him, and
Speaker 1: so it just muddies what seems like there are some
Speaker 1: very straightforward like policy takeaways that should be the thing
Speaker 1: that every media outlet is pointing out, pointing to, and
Speaker 1: but but they are these like straightforward policy takeaways that
Speaker 1: don't work with the mainstream narrative because they're too simple
Speaker 1: and straightforward. And like it does feel like this moment
Speaker 1: feels go ahead. I was just gonna say, I love
Speaker 1: that the idea of a candidate quality check for Republicans,
Speaker 1: Like what that would be like, is there a crease
Speaker 1: in your doctors check their teeth and gum line okay
Speaker 1: like a horse, like okay, good, But this moment just
Speaker 1: feels very clarifying to me, like it feels like, you know,
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of progressive energy at the point, like
Speaker 1: from voters that is laid bare in an election that
Speaker 1: the mainstream media was kind of distracted into thinking was
Speaker 1: going in a different direction, so they didn't really have
Speaker 1: their messaging ready for like what was going to happen
Speaker 1: if there was this kind of progressive energy that turned out,
Speaker 1: And instead of like covering the progressive policies that are
Speaker 1: resonating with people that have resonated with people for a
Speaker 1: long time, they're just like muddying everything with this like
Speaker 1: are people tired of Trump? Like what's Trump gonna say?
Speaker 1: Like just this like personality contest, this like sports media
Speaker 1: bullshit take of just like who's got the better like
Speaker 1: who who's the better horse? Essentially, The New York Times
Speaker 1: literally like the day after the election was like, all right,
Speaker 1: here's who we like for the Democratic presidency. If Biden
Speaker 1: drops out, they'll be shocked to know the people they
Speaker 1: liked Harris Buddha Jedge where we're like all the mainstream
Speaker 1: centrist Democrats and the people they weren't feeling like literally
Speaker 1: there was a category that was like here's who do
Speaker 1: Here's who we like, and then a category I'm just
Speaker 1: not feeling it. And it was like the first two
Speaker 1: were Bernie Sanders and AOC. We're like number one and
Speaker 1: two of like just not feeling just not feeling once
Speaker 1: to old once too. You think J. B. Pritsker was
Speaker 1: in the middle section of that. Yeah, that's not a
Speaker 1: lot of people are just like, just get the just
Speaker 1: get these big lads out there, right, Yeah, the big,
Speaker 1: big relatable lads out there, like in the Rush belt.
Speaker 1: But there's like a very straightforward story to tell here
Speaker 1: like that. So yeah, there has a lot of there
Speaker 1: has been a lot of support for progressive policies that
Speaker 1: performed incredibly well, and they performed incredibly well in like
Speaker 1: big elections like Pennsylvania with Shapiro and Fetterman just you know,
Speaker 1: running populist campaigns that are focused on giving people economic
Speaker 1: reforms that help their lives, like that is for some
Speaker 1: reason seen as like this fringe populist thing, but it works.
Speaker 1: And then there are these more conservative, demo cratic statewide
Speaker 1: campaigns in North Carolina and Iowa that had so Fetterman
Speaker 1: Shapiro both ran ahead of how Joe Biden did in
Speaker 1: traditionally Republican parts of the state. That's always what Democrats are, like,
Speaker 1: the thing that we got to figure out is how
Speaker 1: we get those like those blue collar workers to start
Speaker 1: voting Democrat again. So they have their answer that that's it,
Speaker 1: like that just run on populist, progressive economic policies that
Speaker 1: we we saw that work. And when they didn't do
Speaker 1: that in state wide campaigns in North Carolina and Iowa,
Speaker 1: they ran behind Joe Biden. So it's like a very
Speaker 1: very straightforward lesson and that feels like good news, right,
Speaker 1: they have a very clear answer following this election. The
Speaker 1: bad news is they've had a very clear answer before
Speaker 1: this and ignore the funk out of it, But how
Speaker 1: do we do economic populism without really affecting the bottom
Speaker 1: line a lot of companies? And I think that's the like,
Speaker 1: that's this fucking weird cliff that the Democrats are always
Speaker 1: like standing over there, like, I mean, it's a winning
Speaker 1: message when you speak directly to people's lived experiences and say,
Speaker 1: I know you're getting fucked over by like rising prices
Speaker 1: and the greed of companies. I know that. Like when
Speaker 1: you go that route, people are like wait what and
Speaker 1: suddenly like you're saying like rural counties start going back
Speaker 1: towards Democrats because they're speaking something that is like very straightforward.
Speaker 1: Every politician needs to start dressing like Aaron Brockovich. Yes,
Speaker 1: why not. I would love to see that. But I mean,
Speaker 1: like that's that's what's sort of like so infuriating. Is that,
Speaker 1: like it's so simple. It's like you just you get
Speaker 1: your you get your hymnal from your donors, and then
Speaker 1: you have to sing the songs that they say. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like you see it with with the messaging around inflation
Speaker 1: like that was supposed to swing the whole election, and
Speaker 1: it didn't really because people understood like all of the
Speaker 1: stuff about like well Biden giving money to you the
Speaker 1: voter is what caused this pain. This inflation like that
Speaker 1: it resonated something. It was like a fifty fifty split
Speaker 1: basically on inflation, but it wasn't like the thing that
Speaker 1: swung the election. And by the way, the like pre
Speaker 1: electoral like analysis that they got was from Larry Summers,
Speaker 1: who may remember as the president of Harvard, who was
Speaker 1: like flying on the Lolite express that we covered when
Speaker 1: we're talking about how Harvard. Yeah, it's basically a bastion
Speaker 1: of wealth protectionism and not liberal intellectualism. But anyways, like
Speaker 1: the the big one is just like they're all these
Speaker 1: very popular progressive policies that we keep seeing, like we
Speaker 1: making abortionate illegal is wildly unpopular, and that does seem
Speaker 1: to be the one that the mainstream media is letting
Speaker 1: it Like they're letting that message in that Okay, the
Speaker 1: you know what, what the extremist Republican position and action
Speaker 1: now on abortion is cost them this election, But they're
Speaker 1: not like covering the fact that, like gun control is popular,
Speaker 1: and like voters represented that white supremacy is unpopular, and
Speaker 1: voters represented that in some places, people don't think healthcare
Speaker 1: should bankrupt you. Yeah, yeah, and like that's another wild
Speaker 1: thing to just I just wanted to talk about all
Speaker 1: the attacks that teachers are under and like critical race
Speaker 1: theory and all this culture war bullshit. There were a
Speaker 1: lot of bills that passed that were increasing funding to
Speaker 1: public schools. So despite all that, like you weren't like
Speaker 1: despite me, like no, we gotta we gotta cut this
Speaker 1: ship off and privatize everything. Most people are like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we like that, take take that more money for them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: pro choice measures swept at the ballot box. Progressives one
Speaker 1: with ballot measures that support policies like raising the minimum
Speaker 1: wage and taxing the rich. Just everywhere across the country,
Speaker 1: a bunch of like progressive House candidates one, but like
Speaker 1: aren't being covered summarily in Pennsylvania, Delia Ramirez in Illinois.
Speaker 1: There's like a bunch of these Greg Cassar in Texas,
Speaker 1: like a you know, these populous candidates are winning in Texas.
Speaker 1: It seems like these are the surprising results that they
Speaker 1: would cover if they didn't have some other agenda. I
Speaker 1: can't quite put my finger on it right pro collective
Speaker 1: bargaining measures one, legalized cannabis one. Like measures for rent
Speaker 1: control one everywhere They fucking one in Orange County, Florida,
Speaker 1: like rent control. Rent control is popular in Florida. You
Speaker 1: think that would be like the one of the big takeaways.
Speaker 1: It's like, help people because they're being harmed by massive corporations,
Speaker 1: and like they it's a very straightforward message that they
Speaker 1: seem to be willfully fucking up at places are they
Speaker 1: are because again, it's a consolidation of our media and everything,
Speaker 1: and it's all being ran by a very specific kind
Speaker 1: of person in a very specific socio economic situation with
Speaker 1: a very specific perspective. And that's I mean, honestly, that's
Speaker 1: that's why I like people like candidates who aren't his
Speaker 1: tethered to like the old school like political machine of
Speaker 1: using corporate dollars and things like that, are speaking more
Speaker 1: freely than the ones that are like born from it.
Speaker 1: And that's I think that's the balancing act of d
Speaker 1: n C is also probably gonna look at too. It's like, dude,
Speaker 1: you get too many of these populaces in here. We're
Speaker 1: like we're like a couple. You know. Congress is away
Speaker 1: from like real like actually delivering for people at the
Speaker 1: expense of like profits. And I think that's what will
Speaker 1: be interesting too, because there's a lot of analysis about
Speaker 1: how there was a lot of success in the suburbs
Speaker 1: and suburban voters going to Trump, but a lot of
Speaker 1: suburban voters tend to be like upper addle middle class
Speaker 1: and maybe look at the economy way different than these
Speaker 1: other people, these other voters that the Democrats are also
Speaker 1: trying to court, which are like like workers laborers who
Speaker 1: are like looking at how like the economy is affecting
Speaker 1: them and have a like maybe probably a more populist
Speaker 1: agenda than the people in the suburbs. So how are
Speaker 1: they going to balance all those things? And you feel
Speaker 1: like they're gonna probably just shy away from going more populous.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I mean, maybe they found a
Speaker 1: way to be like we can do a little bit
Speaker 1: of that stuff while still like wreaking and or generating
Speaker 1: massive money and not completely just you know, knee capping
Speaker 1: in industry because we decided people need free medicine or
Speaker 1: some wacky ship like that. Does populist just mean like
Speaker 1: anti corporate and like humanitarian like like that. It feels
Speaker 1: like it's just like, yeah, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's people, you mean populous interchangeably to refer to Trump
Speaker 1: and then policies of like rent control. It's just it's
Speaker 1: just appeal to normal people. That's all it is. It's
Speaker 1: just normal. So that's all subjective, right, But I think
Speaker 1: what Trump he was being like as an outsider in sixteen,
Speaker 1: it was great popes, like we got to get these
Speaker 1: like nobody's making money. These prescription drugs are way too
Speaker 1: like he did. He was talking to a lot a
Speaker 1: lot of that ship. And so but then got in,
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm broke and I have bills. Y'all
Speaker 1: have a friend, a friend who like works in finance
Speaker 1: from like you know, a friend that I went to
Speaker 1: school with and he heard our podcast and was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I had no idea you were so populist. And I
Speaker 1: was like, what does that mean? Yeah? Is that? I
Speaker 1: think that is like a slur in that realm, right,
Speaker 1: is like the idea that well, you're just saying what
Speaker 1: people want to hear, and it's like, well, they wanted
Speaker 1: to hear it because they're not stupid and it helps
Speaker 1: them and there are like clear ways that people can
Speaker 1: help themselves through politics that fucking everyone else is ignoring,
Speaker 1: like in the mainstream media. Right. Yes, it really is
Speaker 1: like that thing where like, yeah, you're I don't know
Speaker 1: how to put it. Like I feel like back in
Speaker 1: the day, like I would I would be wanted to
Speaker 1: date somebody and then like are you like you know,
Speaker 1: they tell me like I'm not happy in the relationship.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's that's messed up, and they
Speaker 1: what's happening, Oh they don't do this and don't go,
Speaker 1: oh that's that's messed up. Then you get a call
Speaker 1: Hey man, why are you talking shit to me? Like
Speaker 1: talking about me tomorrow to my girlfriend was like what
Speaker 1: I just They literally just said what was going on?
Speaker 1: And I agreed. I wasn't generating some other narrative. You're
Speaker 1: just getting angry at the fact that objectively the situation
Speaker 1: is not good and someone describing it is somehow Now
Speaker 1: this like underhanded thing rather than for like the parties
Speaker 1: in power understanding their messages aren't resonating. The status quo
Speaker 1: is absolute violence in death, and that's how most people
Speaker 1: see it. So you come out here talking that same thing,
Speaker 1: they go, oh, that's death and destruct that's death and destruction. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not solutions like someone who's and I think that's
Speaker 1: all it is. People just want you to come and
Speaker 1: be like, here's the problem. Here's the solution, Republicans, right now,
Speaker 1: just go here's the fucking problem. You' all right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just well, then the New York Times doesn't have
Speaker 1: a single like they have a columnist who's willing to
Speaker 1: say fucking everything. They have a columnist who's willing to
Speaker 1: be like being a traditional Catholic is actually punk rock
Speaker 1: and you know, like just the wildest ship, like loving
Speaker 1: the pope is the most punk rock thing you can
Speaker 1: do today, and they don't have somebody who's willing to
Speaker 1: be like all right, so like Democratic voters like came
Speaker 1: out in force voted for Democrats and said that they're
Speaker 1: really frustrated, like an ex oponent, they said, they're really
Speaker 1: frustrated with the Democrat like with Joe Biden. So like
Speaker 1: there's a clear message here. They vote for, you know,
Speaker 1: progressive policies and they're frustrated with the existing thing. Like
Speaker 1: what wouldn't it suggest that, like it would make sense
Speaker 1: for the Democratic Party to like shift to more progressive
Speaker 1: policies and like being more straightforwardly like helpful to people
Speaker 1: and humanitarian. Um, they don't have a single columnist who
Speaker 1: make who makes that argument. Is pretty well, just thinking
Speaker 1: about how much is brewing in Florida right now? Is
Speaker 1: does Trump still live there? Oh yeah, I think he
Speaker 1: refuses to even leave when a tropical storm is coming.
Speaker 1: As of the last week, I'll nucas, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break, we'll be right back, and we're back. And
Speaker 1: the Republicans, y'all, I mean, you know, for all the
Speaker 1: all the chaos that's going around, they really they should
Speaker 1: just change their name to the fucking Knife Party at
Speaker 1: this point, because the republic can'ts yeah about that fucking
Speaker 1: windmill on them, Matt, please polsterize them right there with
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, but like like red Graves alright, Vanessa Redgrave, Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, right now, the Party of Personal Personal Responsibility
Speaker 1: wants fuck all to do with any concept of responsibility
Speaker 1: to do with the mid terms, Although it should be
Speaker 1: noted that the Republicans look like they will have around
Speaker 1: a two seat majority in the House with current projections.
Speaker 1: There's still stuff that's up in the air, but that
Speaker 1: sort of seems like where things are gonna land. And
Speaker 1: also it should be noted that over the weekend the
Speaker 1: Democrats were able to you know, solidify the majority in
Speaker 1: the Senate. Would the run being just a little bit
Speaker 1: of a one just a little icing on top of
Speaker 1: the cherry, if that's how I don't think. But let's
Speaker 1: check in with some of the saltier beings on the right.
Speaker 1: First up, Sarah Palin. She is just just going out
Speaker 1: the the party itself for letting her be herself. She
Speaker 1: put this i G post that this Daily Beast or
Speaker 1: this article The Independent describes as in a conspiracy. In
Speaker 1: instagram post, miss Palin blamed the quote Kaca Mami ranked
Speaker 1: choice voting system Senator Lisa Murkowski and the quote dark
Speaker 1: dysfunctional GOP machine after she was seemingly trounced by Democrat
Speaker 1: Mary Poltola for a second time in three months. Shout
Speaker 1: out to Mary. Uh goes on to say, quote, this
Speaker 1: is from Sarah Palin. The GOP establishment deserves losses until
Speaker 1: it's willing to fight for what is right. So we
Speaker 1: have somebody saying they didn't let me be maga enough,
Speaker 1: and they're like, that was the problem. They were trying
Speaker 1: to they were trying to unmaga you. But go off, Sarah.
Speaker 1: It's fine. It's just I keep forgetting she exists. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think right because when she comes back there like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, you throw back meme. All right, I
Speaker 1: guess we'll see what happens. Chris Christie, who on a
Speaker 1: given day could have a take that makes him sound
Speaker 1: like Don Junior or James Carville, depending on how he's feeling.
Speaker 1: You never know, because he's he's so you know, flip floppy.
Speaker 1: He was back on his anti Trump ship. He said,
Speaker 1: quote almost every one of these Trump endorsed candidates that
Speaker 1: you see in competitive states has lost. It's a huge
Speaker 1: loss for Trump, and again it shows that his political
Speaker 1: instincts are not about the party, they're not about the country,
Speaker 1: They're about him. Yeah, but y'all knew. You've been saying
Speaker 1: the same thing for since. Okay, everyone knows this. Everyone
Speaker 1: knows this. The question is is whether or not you
Speaker 1: are complicit and allowing him to continue to do it.
Speaker 1: I mean everyone, everyone knows what he is, and everyone
Speaker 1: knows that his political instincts are completely about self preservation.
Speaker 1: And whenever he loses, everyone's like, oh, what a loser. Huh,
Speaker 1: could never be me? And then he wins something and
Speaker 1: be like, I love you master. It's just like a
Speaker 1: spineless bunch of fox like. And there's the actor Jamal Booie.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's who pronounced this last name,
Speaker 1: but in the New York Times last week wrote about
Speaker 1: like this is really this is before the election. But
Speaker 1: it's like, doesn't have to be this way. You don't
Speaker 1: have to be an election denier to like you just
Speaker 1: you could just choose not to be. You chose to be, Like,
Speaker 1: it's your choice of sucking assholes. They have a real
Speaker 1: problem because they already are like a party that's willing
Speaker 1: to say anything to anyone, no matter what it means.
Speaker 1: And because of that, no one has a sense of center,
Speaker 1: like at all, just like you have no shame. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, they're all like these they're all creatures. They're
Speaker 1: like organisms and this like nebulous thing and they're like,
Speaker 1: where are we today? Fashionist or super Christian? And we
Speaker 1: care about baby this, you know, like and so I
Speaker 1: think you should do a whole podcast as it's a
Speaker 1: visit audio visual experience. You gotta see my my what
Speaker 1: my Celia on the out? Thank you so much. I
Speaker 1: don't have a flagellum if you are curious with Celia Celia.
Speaker 1: But you know, so like for example, at least Aphonic
Speaker 1: and Jade Vance, they're already endorsing Trump for four even
Speaker 1: though as of this recording and when they gave the endorsement,
Speaker 1: Trump has not ran for has not announced his you know,
Speaker 1: his candidacy, although we believe that's going to happen Tuesday,
Speaker 1: the day you hear this, so who knows, get ready
Speaker 1: for that. But it's just he's a you know. What's
Speaker 1: interesting is like Trump is they he's really hard to
Speaker 1: deal with because he doesn't he doesn't conform to anything
Speaker 1: they're used to because like he's dumb, but also has
Speaker 1: an unseddeningly good instinct for amassing influence. So and every
Speaker 1: year he gets more erratic, he gets like less cunning,
Speaker 1: like in the way they're like, oh, that's a finesse thing.
Speaker 1: He's just like just the mass just completely comes off
Speaker 1: more and more and more. But the establishment parties are
Speaker 1: the establishment figures in the party like look on as
Speaker 1: if he's like this pokemon on his way to it's
Speaker 1: like final powerful form, and they just kind of stare
Speaker 1: and do nothing. And honestly, the fact that they didn't
Speaker 1: fucking impeach him after January six, they basically hit him
Speaker 1: with the Gamma rays that made Bruce Banner of the
Speaker 1: Hulk at that point, because now you've fully been like, yo,
Speaker 1: you had your shot right there, and now you're stuck
Speaker 1: with him, and he's become the brand, and now anybody
Speaker 1: who wants to stop him is basically saying, I'm diametrically
Speaker 1: opposed to the brand and go ahead, like let's see
Speaker 1: some fireworks. Then that's part of the cynicism that I
Speaker 1: was saying this overrated. I feel like it's this idea
Speaker 1: that everything is fucking inevitable, Like he oh, he's inevitable.
Speaker 1: You're like, no, he's not. We could just you could
Speaker 1: just not stare, you could just not Gamma ray him.
Speaker 1: You could just make a different fucking decision. And and instead,
Speaker 1: it's just it's so disempowered or something. It's just so
Speaker 1: so fucking cynical. It's just about money. Maybe disempowers wrong thing,
Speaker 1: because it's all about power anyways, well powers of people
Speaker 1: who actually do have the power to do something. If
Speaker 1: you're a Republican in the House or Senate during January six,
Speaker 1: you had the power to not gammoray him, to not
Speaker 1: make him like above the law, and you didn't. And
Speaker 1: so now everyone else was right there. Yeah, Mitch McConnell
Speaker 1: was right there, and throughout the whole mid terms he was.
Speaker 1: He was like, man, we have a Senate quality problem. Yeah, motherfucker,
Speaker 1: because you're not challenging any of Trump's weirdo picks and
Speaker 1: you like you're going against you spend all this time
Speaker 1: being the grim Reaper and bringing all these majorities to
Speaker 1: the Senate and then this guy just comes. It's like
Speaker 1: we need more people who deny the election from two
Speaker 1: years ago and they're like, uh, that's not the best. Also,
Speaker 1: the people you're running in Arizona for Governor Doug Doocey,
Speaker 1: he could just go for re election and have a
Speaker 1: better chance at winning than a Democrat. Just it looks
Speaker 1: like is about to happen because Carrie Lake again is
Speaker 1: like fashionist, real housewife like president. Yeah, well she's just
Speaker 1: made of vassolinus what I assume, but vascinating on the lens,
Speaker 1: like she's nice soft bloom. There's always a nice bloom
Speaker 1: around her. Because I'll give it to her. She was
Speaker 1: like a TV anchor person. She understands lighting unlike any
Speaker 1: of these other people, because every time she was on
Speaker 1: TV she had perfect fucking lighting. Like she was like
Speaker 1: literally was doing a talking headbit in a Real Housewives show.
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, good for you, you have that
Speaker 1: dialed in. Anyway, boot trap boys, please go ahead and
Speaker 1: walk into the fire, you know, try and rest control
Speaker 1: of your party. I'd really love to see it from here,
Speaker 1: just to see how many y'all like take one step
Speaker 1: into the breach and be like, I gotta never mind
Speaker 1: never because it doesn't seem like y'all have a winning
Speaker 1: hand there. I do love watching them all turn on
Speaker 1: each other though. It's very It's very nice for me.
Speaker 1: You know what, let's play, let's let's give ourselves a
Speaker 1: little bit of a treat. I do want to play
Speaker 1: this clip from Ted Cruise on his podcast where he's
Speaker 1: just talking about like, who's to blame for the mid terms.
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm pissed. Uh. Cruise has a podcast. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's called The Verdict with Ted Cruz lord check. So
Speaker 1: this is a little sound by to him doing a
Speaker 1: little bit of you know, yeah, post mortem on the
Speaker 1: mid terms. The rage Americans are feeling across this country.
Speaker 1: The rage that I'm feeling, there are almost not words
Speaker 1: to describe it, because this opportunity was screw it up.
Speaker 1: It was screwed up badly, and the people are gonna
Speaker 1: pay the price, or the American people the country is
Speaker 1: screwed for the next four years because of this. We're
Speaker 1: gonna see horrible left wing judges confirmed for the next
Speaker 1: two years. Because of this, We're gonna see judges taking
Speaker 1: away our free speech rights, are religious liberty rights, are
Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights. It is an enormous missed opportunity. And
Speaker 1: I gotta say it, it is hard to describe my
Speaker 1: feelings as anything other than rage right now. Yeah, it's all.
Speaker 1: It's all those judges that are in the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: I think that are the ones taking away the rights,
Speaker 1: ted that you guys lost. And also, you knows Americans
Speaker 1: are not upset all of the ones who voted the
Speaker 1: majority of them. It turns out you're talking to a
Speaker 1: small group of people there, Teddy. But I just also
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring up that point because it has
Speaker 1: to be mentioned that he also was puffing his chest
Speaker 1: out about here are my cruise twenty five picks for
Speaker 1: twenty two victory fund. He had the Cruise twenty five
Speaker 1: for twenty two victory fund where he was courting donations
Speaker 1: for these house races. That cruise was focused on helping
Speaker 1: us deliver a majority. And I gotta tell you, man,
Speaker 1: of the twenty five twenty four of the people that
Speaker 1: were new, like are people trying to challenge an incumbent,
Speaker 1: fucking nine won their races. He did. He was nine
Speaker 1: for twenty four. This motherfucker swung out that he struck
Speaker 1: out bad. So he's also part of that Tucker Carlson
Speaker 1: crew of people who are like, I'll tell you where
Speaker 1: to put your money. I know where it goes. Then
Speaker 1: when the ship goes left, he's like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm so mad. We need to figure out what's going on.
Speaker 1: It's like you were have No, you're an invertebrate and
Speaker 1: he went with the with the Maga ship and that's
Speaker 1: why it wasntebrate. I just it's just such a pleasure
Speaker 1: to watch evil people fail. Yeah, it's a rarity space,
Speaker 1: so it's nice to feel it and see it. And
Speaker 1: also then being like being like, yo, they tripped because
Speaker 1: their shoe laces are untied. Watch they're not going to
Speaker 1: look at their shoelaces again and try and get back up.
Speaker 1: And they're doing that. They're like, watch, they're not going
Speaker 1: to try and actually figure out what the fun The
