00:00:05.607 --> 00:00:19.321
but you know, the trump criminal trial and and the insane supreme court arguments weren't the only thing that occurred last week, because the news never stops, it's incessant, um, it's like uh again.

00:00:19.321 --> 00:00:21.265
Because trump is like um.

00:00:21.265 --> 00:00:36.215
He is like the Dave Chappelle skit with Charlie Murphy I brought this up a number of times where Charlie Murphy was talking about Rick James and, like you know, grinding his feet in people's couch and smacking people in the club.

00:00:36.215 --> 00:00:39.060
Trump is a habitual line stepper.

00:00:39.640 --> 00:01:02.030
He like wherever there is a line he has to step wherever there's a white couch, trump is going to rub his muddy boots onto it pretty much I'm donald trump bitch f your couch, yeah, we've seen we've dropped so many f-bombs that we're gonna get get banned.

00:01:02.030 --> 00:01:03.152
Well, that's why I said F.

00:01:03.493 --> 00:01:04.995
Yeah, good job there, but no.

00:01:04.995 --> 00:01:15.189
So last week, Arizona prosecutors indicted 18 co-conspirators in the fake elector plot to steal the 2020 election.

00:01:15.189 --> 00:01:22.820
That included all of the fake electors along with and these are fun, fun facts here Rudy.

00:01:22.820 --> 00:01:26.356
Giuliani got his ass again, mark meadows.

00:01:26.356 --> 00:01:35.688
I'm glad someone else is trying to hold him accountable, because we don't know how georgia is gonna go um john eastman, I'm glad like he's been disbarred so he's gonna.

00:01:35.948 --> 00:01:45.953
He's also facing criminal so he can't represent himself I thought him and rudy were to have like a reciprocal thing.

00:01:46.013 --> 00:01:46.674
I love this for them.

00:01:47.099 --> 00:01:48.165
They can represent each other.

00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:49.503
They can't.

00:01:50.045 --> 00:01:50.706
So sad.

00:01:50.706 --> 00:01:51.368
That's funny.

00:01:51.368 --> 00:01:54.228
This is a new one, boris Epstein.

00:01:54.228 --> 00:01:59.552
He's finally been indicted in a jurisdiction for his role in the fake elector plot.

00:01:59.552 --> 00:02:01.665
I was wondering when someone was going to get around to him.

00:02:02.468 --> 00:02:14.643
Yeah, when I saw his name and it was like, wow, okay, I thought he had fell into the background, but no, no, uh, jenna ellis managed to make her way into this indictment.

00:02:15.264 --> 00:02:19.318
Uh, michael roman, who was key in coordinating with the fake electors.

00:02:19.318 --> 00:02:23.330
He's also been indicted here, as he was in georgia.

00:02:23.330 --> 00:02:29.126
Uh, kelly ward, which is the former head of the republican party love that for her yeah, she.

00:02:29.126 --> 00:02:36.664
She was irate, uh, a couple of years ago about people not being locked up for cheating to steal the 2020 election.

00:02:36.664 --> 00:02:39.871
Here we go, baby here we are.

00:02:40.352 --> 00:02:42.542
Kelly ward is, she is a piece of work.

00:02:42.542 --> 00:02:46.491
That woman is something else and she is, she is.

00:02:46.491 --> 00:02:51.127
She's gonna die on that hill, you know happy for her.

00:02:51.448 --> 00:02:52.270
She got her wish.

00:02:52.270 --> 00:02:55.602
They they're locking them up, kelly, as you suggested.

00:02:55.602 --> 00:03:02.306
And then my personal favorite of all the people indicted in arizona over the course of the past week, here is christina bob.

00:03:02.306 --> 00:03:04.872
Yeah, so this is why.

00:03:04.872 --> 00:03:06.296
This is why christina.

00:03:06.617 --> 00:03:08.282
She's no longer representing trump.

00:03:08.302 --> 00:03:15.169
He had to put some distance there well, actually it's funny you say that head of election integrity well, darn it, you beat me to the joke.

00:03:16.013 --> 00:03:25.993
yes, the, the new head of the election integrity at the rnc has been indicted for a lack of integrity from cheating in the 2020 election.

00:03:25.993 --> 00:03:34.127
No, but the reason why she had to get the boot from Trump's legal team, carol, is because, well, do you remember Evan Corcoran?

00:03:34.127 --> 00:03:37.045
By any chance, does that name sound familiar to you?

00:03:37.045 --> 00:03:55.127
Well, that was one of Trump's lawyers in the classified documents case in Florida, and he had to get the boot from trump's legal team because he got crime fraud accepted, because they signed off on those documents saying that all of the classified documents have been returned to the fbi voluntarily.

00:03:55.407 --> 00:03:59.983
And then when, like the fbi, raided mar-a-lago and they were like, oh damn, here go these documents.

00:03:59.983 --> 00:04:14.462
You told a lie bro make attorneys, get attorneys yes, well, uh well, christina bob was one of the well, she was the lawyer who signed off on the document as well.

00:04:14.985 --> 00:04:27.011
She ended that envelope over like yeah, so yeah, she was in the crosshairs of the department of justice for quite a while here, and at the time I just like what it's.

00:04:27.011 --> 00:04:28.093
How long has it been?

00:04:28.093 --> 00:04:29.283
Has it been a year and a half?

00:04:29.283 --> 00:04:30.307
It's been a long time.

00:04:31.540 --> 00:04:32.242
It was August.

00:04:32.242 --> 00:04:33.605
Yeah, it was August.

00:04:33.605 --> 00:04:36.091
Like uh, what 2022?

00:04:36.771 --> 00:04:37.353
October.

00:04:37.353 --> 00:04:49.908
Yeah, I think in October was when we got news of this arrangement where, um, uh, corcoran didn't want to put his name on that and then Christina Bob did, or maybe it was the other way.

00:04:49.908 --> 00:04:52.807
Look, it's all right, it's been a long time, a long time ago.

00:04:52.807 --> 00:04:58.024
My memory is fading slightly, I have to look that up, but one of them put their names on that and I was like, oh, the second they did that.

00:04:58.024 --> 00:05:06.603
Huh, somebody's about to get their own lawyers.

00:05:06.622 --> 00:05:39.569
And here we are, christina bob getting getting indicted for something totally separate, because that's how many crimes you commit when you're trump's lawyer but you know what's so crazy about christina bob and this is why I think she's like a hair smarter than uh is that, yes, is because christina, she had them like signed like that that she wouldn't be like held accountable like are you sure?

00:05:39.569 --> 00:05:42.435
Are you sure I'm signing for this?

00:05:42.435 --> 00:05:45.783
I'm giving this over there, everything's copacetic.

00:05:45.923 --> 00:05:50.987
She put a caveat in the language that said, to the best of my knowledge, as opposed to.

00:05:51.408 --> 00:06:00.336
We guarantee that all the documents have been yes and wording is everything, and that was a smart move on her, and then she just kind of fell into the background.

00:06:00.336 --> 00:06:01.562
It's like I'm just going to do news.

00:06:02.848 --> 00:06:04.802
Well, yeah, I mean, isn't that?

00:06:04.802 --> 00:06:09.084
I think that's how she got the job right her on newsmax rbn.

00:06:10.187 --> 00:06:12.391
Uh, one of those one of those.

00:06:13.031 --> 00:06:13.552
One of those.

00:06:13.552 --> 00:06:15.581
Okay, here's the deal audience.

00:06:16.002 --> 00:06:19.829
All right, so you know christina bob and you know alina haba.

00:06:19.829 --> 00:06:21.973
How do you tell them apart?

00:06:21.973 --> 00:06:23.223
Right, and that's like.

00:06:23.223 --> 00:06:25.771
That is the game we're constantly playing.

00:06:25.771 --> 00:06:28.324
But, like, of course, my favorite.

00:06:28.425 --> 00:06:31.173
One of them has been indicted in in Arizona.

00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.389
Totally and find a million dollars.

00:06:33.389 --> 00:06:34.896
But no, that's the other one, that's.

00:06:34.915 --> 00:06:35.579
Alina Habba.

00:06:35.579 --> 00:06:38.444
Yeah, so my favorite Alina Habba.

00:06:38.463 --> 00:07:10.430
fun fact is the detail that, like initially, she was representing parking garages yeah and that and that level of legal expertise is how she ended up losing trump half a billion dollars well, don't forget that she had to pay like twenty thirty thousand dollars to her only black employee at the law firm for throwing the n-word around in her office so she was perfect for the trump legal team and she also had to pay that one million dollar settlement.

00:07:11.351 --> 00:07:27.571
Um for well, that that bogus and uh, that bogus lawsuit against hillary clinton against hillary and pete schrock and a number of other people, where the judge not only threw that out but was like, hey man, this was ridiculous, pay up guys, but yeah.

00:07:27.571 --> 00:07:31.615
So I'd just like to point out how insane it is.

00:07:31.615 --> 00:07:40.290
Just the number of lawyers that have worked for Trump, that have been indicted over the course of these past, what's it been?

00:07:40.310 --> 00:08:21.553
almost 10 years now eight, nine years it's just insane and I just I can't believe only hearing about the ones that haven't fallen outside the statute of limitations right, but how many of the lawyers like uh takapina, who actually had a pretty prestigious career, like he represented Jay-Z, he represented all of these like celebrities and stuff who have literally willingly put their careers and reputations on the line to get involved into Trump's legal mess?

00:08:21.553 --> 00:08:37.788
And Takapina, like when the Stormy daniel story first broke, he was like oh yeah, this is bad for him, like this is completely different than the guy takes up his case, like the cognitive dissonance and how they're short-term, it's.

00:08:38.008 --> 00:09:10.865
It's freaking insane and it's like wow yeah, and they have to forget everything they previously said, for the grift is crazy yeah, like, and that they have said these things on camera, on tape, in interviews, and then, literally a year later, and they're like the complete opposite and there's no pushback from maga, no pushback from as if that never existed, knowing that this evidence and that this confirmation and backing up is out there.

00:09:10.865 --> 00:09:17.602
And they have no, they just go on like okay yeah, they all become bill barr.

00:09:17.722 --> 00:09:21.331
Even bill barr is like trump should be, no, be nowhere near the white house.

00:09:21.331 --> 00:09:23.783
And then they're like all right, well, are you going to vote for them?

00:09:23.783 --> 00:09:24.946
Yes, what?

00:09:24.946 --> 00:09:27.629
Because not only do they.

00:09:27.629 --> 00:09:31.363
After they get in trouble they're like well, now I'm going to not support them.

00:09:31.363 --> 00:09:35.899
And then they slink back eventually to always it's, it's just wild.

00:09:36.981 --> 00:09:51.754
Well, you know what, though that that kind of worries me, because where they were, like a year or two ago and like during the january 6th investigation and the hearings and everything and the things that they were saying.

00:09:51.754 --> 00:10:09.518
So, for those that are backtracking especially someone like bill barr, who is very shrewd, he's not a dumb ass um, he's not dumb by any means, but it lends me to believe that they feel like there is a real chance that Trump will be in the White House.

00:10:09.778 --> 00:10:14.789
Yeah, and they are trying to see why and that that worries me because I'm wondering.

00:10:15.059 --> 00:10:17.489
And they're scared that he's going to know that we don't know.

00:10:17.489 --> 00:10:21.390
They're scared that he's going to get presidential immunity and have them assassinated.

00:10:23.581 --> 00:10:26.691
And if only there was some way to not vote for him.

00:10:28.100 --> 00:10:28.683
Well, that's what.

00:10:28.683 --> 00:10:29.486
Joe Biden's for.

00:10:31.140 --> 00:10:31.481
I think.

00:10:31.481 --> 00:10:36.360
But I think that that is something that we should pay more attention to, that.

00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:42.192
The people that are kind of turning on their heels and backtracking a little bit.

00:10:42.192 --> 00:10:46.346
Why are they doing it Like, is there something that they're privy to that we're not?

00:10:46.346 --> 00:10:47.809
Is there something that they know?

00:10:47.809 --> 00:10:49.533
They're worried he might win?

00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:58.370
So okay, look, once it became fairly obvious that he was going to wrap up the Republican nomination, it's basically a coin flip for him to become president.

00:10:58.370 --> 00:10:59.192
They don't need to know.

00:10:59.192 --> 00:11:03.190
Anything is in the works about the potential for him winning he's the nominee.

00:11:03.190 --> 00:11:05.760
He's got a shot in the works.

00:11:05.760 --> 00:11:07.303
About the potential for him winning he's the nominee, he's got a shot.

00:11:07.303 --> 00:11:12.101
So everybody has to cya, as you so eloquently put it, and and get their ducks in a row and and get back on the bandwagon.

00:11:12.101 --> 00:11:31.616
Because look and we talk about this a couple of times but one of the first things hitler did when he came to power, it wasn't taking out opponents from the other party, it was cleaning house in his own party exactly, that's exactly it, the brown shirts was right there and they helped him get elected.

00:11:31.918 --> 00:11:42.230
And then, as soon as he had power or get appointed, and as soon as he had power, he went and got them brown shirts up out of there because they were a threat to his power and then he went on from there.

00:11:42.230 --> 00:11:44.701
Um so, and they they're his brown shirts.

00:11:44.701 --> 00:11:51.423
So one of the things about these indictments in Arizona is elections have consequences, because I know a lot of people are like man.

00:11:51.423 --> 00:12:15.434
It's awfully late in the game for Arizona to be in indicted in the fake electors investigation didn't start until 2023 because the Arizona attorney general prior to Chris Mays was a Republican who said I ain't going to look into this.

00:12:15.434 --> 00:12:21.618
So once Chris Mays won, she was like all right, sure, my office will look into this, we'll do our due diligence.

00:12:21.618 --> 00:12:27.523
And in a year and a half what month is this?

00:12:27.523 --> 00:12:28.908
And less than a year and a half what month is this?

00:12:28.908 --> 00:12:31.777
And less than a year and a half, less than 18 months she got indictments out the door and ready to go.

00:12:32.278 --> 00:12:41.581
Now a lot of people are going to ask hey, if she indicted all these, you know, fake electors and the co-conspirators higher up the chain, why didn't she indict trump?

00:12:41.642 --> 00:13:19.292
And I have a theory on that, and my theory is because it's so close to the Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity and whatever the decision is, the way the arguments, the way the decision will be worded about, you know what is considered immune acts or presidential acts and what is considered private uh, she'll be able to tailor her indictment in a way that can navigate, uh, the supreme court's decision on presidential immunity so that indictment still stands, or at least that's my theory on it.

00:13:19.292 --> 00:13:33.024
Because, like, if you're indicting alina haba and john Eastman and Mike Roman, these people were right there with Trump, working with Trump, and you have enough like Trump is literally an unindicted co-conspirator any indictment.

00:13:33.024 --> 00:13:49.118
The only reason you're holding off on that, obviously for the well, obviously because indicting him could create some delay, given the Supreme Court decision, but also you want your indictment to stick right yeah, well, yeah, I mean a prosecutor, a DA.

00:13:50.741 --> 00:13:51.624
They're going to take cases.

00:13:51.624 --> 00:14:01.110
They know they can win like they're not in the business of like frivolously filing you know cases and and going after people.

00:14:01.110 --> 00:14:04.203
It's like, okay, I know I can win this, or they don't think they can win.

00:14:04.203 --> 00:14:05.687
Okay, we didn't have enough evidence.

00:14:05.748 --> 00:14:07.461
I mean that's kind of the the.

00:14:07.461 --> 00:14:15.549
This was kind of the argument the justice department used in the supreme court that that prosecutors don't do that.

00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:24.559
They're like this yeah, basically like there's so many protections in the legal system that even for a rogue prosecutor it'd be difficult to go after a former president.

00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:31.972
But no, the the walking into a bar Joe Carroll, that would be a former president, a pecker and a porn star.

00:14:31.972 --> 00:14:32.715
Walk into a bar.

00:14:32.715 --> 00:14:34.936
Former president, a pecker and a porn star walking to a bar yeah.

00:14:36.942 --> 00:14:37.284
Anyway.

00:14:38.548 --> 00:14:49.687
Yeah, I just think that, like so, part of the reason Jack Smith didn't invite invite didn't indict any of Trump's co-conspirators in the.

00:14:49.687 --> 00:15:08.488
January 6th, or I guess the greater plot to seal the 2020 election is because, if he had done so, with with all of the numerous co-defendants, uh, all these delays would have affected that as well and and made it nigh impossible, even without the Supreme court, uh, to get this case to take.

00:15:08.488 --> 00:15:10.586
We'll get this trial to take place before the election.

00:15:10.586 --> 00:15:13.028
Well, arizona did the opposite, right?

00:15:13.059 --> 00:15:26.710
They left out Trump in order to get this trial the rest of the it's off the ground because if you indict trump then that's automatically going to end in a delay and then you won't get to hold any of these people responsible.

00:15:26.710 --> 00:15:33.801
But I guess another factor, another factor that is important about this indictment in arizona is these state charges.

00:15:33.801 --> 00:15:34.783
They can't be pardoned.

00:15:34.783 --> 00:15:43.376
So they're going to have a lot of incentive to cooperate because even if trump wins, he's not going to be able to pardon them, like if he gets indicted in arizona.

00:15:43.376 --> 00:15:50.203
Sure he'll use the powers of the federal government to stay out of jail or whatever, but the rest of these dudes they shit out of luck.

00:15:50.203 --> 00:15:52.490
Um and trump can't save them.

00:15:52.490 --> 00:16:10.823
So we're gonna have the opportunity for, you know, trump's lawyers to flip mike roman to flip, although I guess um, given his luck with with the georgia prosecution in in making in an investigation into the investigator, maybe he's got a shot of trying to hold out for hope there.

00:16:11.186 --> 00:16:13.453
But rudy giuliani, he's about to be broke.

00:16:13.453 --> 00:16:18.894
He's not going to have any opportunity to really defend himself with a you know, high-powered legal firm here.

00:16:18.894 --> 00:16:33.605
And mark meadows, like you know, he almost skated with jack smith because it appears as jack's, as though jack smith has some kind of cooperation agreement with him or at least on prosecution in in exchange for some of his testimony.

00:16:33.605 --> 00:16:35.154
But now he's not, he's not.

00:16:35.154 --> 00:16:39.770
But now he's not going to skate, he's going to have to sign a prosecution agreement in Arizona to stay out of jail.

00:16:39.770 --> 00:16:41.265
He just has to.

00:16:41.265 --> 00:16:46.946
Epstein, he, I'm glad he's going to jail, I just like his answer.

00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:49.086
I'm tired of seeing his face.

00:16:49.086 --> 00:16:50.009
I'm tired of seeing him.

00:16:50.009 --> 00:16:59.352
Well, I guess he hasn't been doing the rounds on TV here lately, but I'm glad prosecutors are finally going after some of the higher ups.

00:16:59.352 --> 00:17:01.226
I'm glad we're seeing consequences.

00:17:01.226 --> 00:17:07.592
I know it took a while but, as I told y'all like, just hang in there, consequences are coming.

00:17:07.592 --> 00:17:10.685
You should have listened to your boy, because I told you it was going to get here.

00:17:10.685 --> 00:17:16.922
I told look, I hate to be the hate to be hillary clinton, where I'm right about everything.

00:17:16.922 --> 00:17:28.913
But I talked about the fake electors eventually being subject to indictment by all these states before we ever had a jack smith indictment of trump for january 6th.

00:17:28.913 --> 00:17:29.740
But here we are.

00:17:31.324 --> 00:17:34.971
Here we are that's making fun of my.

00:17:34.971 --> 00:17:40.371
Oh wait, you can all see yes it's a visual medium, carol.

00:17:41.763 --> 00:17:43.891
It's no longer an audio only podcast.

00:17:43.891 --> 00:17:55.608
I had to put on pants we weren't going to say it out loud, but yes, carol showed up for the podcast.

00:17:55.608 --> 00:18:01.932
In post 2020 fashion sans pants, it's really hot.

00:18:02.080 --> 00:18:03.980
We don't have AC in alright.

00:18:06.448 --> 00:18:11.362
What is the female analog for Jeffrey alright?

00:18:12.605 --> 00:18:15.088
Jessica Tubin I was going to say.

00:18:15.108 --> 00:18:17.513
Jeffrey, all right, jessica Toobin, yeah.

00:18:19.221 --> 00:18:20.988
I was going to say Jennifer, but Jessica.

00:18:20.988 --> 00:18:24.128
Okay, jeff, I wasn't pleasuring myself.

00:18:24.339 --> 00:18:25.565
I'm just not wearing pants.

00:18:25.684 --> 00:18:28.796
Well, that's unfortunate, don't you think that's what our audience signed up for?

00:18:28.796 --> 00:18:58.109
All right, so we've got a few, a couple of lighter stories, although they're equally as frustrating as some of the previous developments here, with the new york times journalist, uh eli stokels, detailing a piece that the paper's editor, ag salzberger, and other top brass directed the outlet to purposefully cover, biden in a negative light because he is yet to sit down for an exclusive interview with the New York Times during his administration.

00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:02.299
Isn't it cute how they're like willing to help end democracy over a little personal.

00:19:03.262 --> 00:19:06.451
I am not surprised at all.

00:19:06.451 --> 00:19:18.869
The New York Times has been a fascist enabling adjacent media outlet since the fricking thirties, maybe even before that, but the thirties is since I know of.

00:19:19.884 --> 00:19:21.359
It's a it's been up and down.

00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:22.505
Friend of democracy.

00:19:23.047 --> 00:19:39.467
I mean I wouldn't go that far, but they, they have their moments where you, I mean, there are journalists that I do like, who do really good editorials and whatnot, so I'm not going to throw them out with the bathwater with the whole freaking paper.

00:19:39.467 --> 00:19:42.930
You know they're the shining lights in that.

00:19:42.930 --> 00:19:45.989
You know, just like the issues that we have with.

00:19:45.989 --> 00:20:05.670
You know Katie Turr and Kristen Welker on MSNBC, but then we have Nicole Wallace and then we have Rachel Maddow, so it's separating that, however, but there Look, we've been talking about this for years now.

00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:22.122
There's something wrong with the New York Times and it's so obvious it's been so obvious here for at least three years that there's a whole new york times pitch bot account whose entire existence is just making fun of the headlines from the new york times.

00:20:22.122 --> 00:20:27.260
And it's so bad that some of the headlines he's like damn, I wish I had come out with that.

00:20:27.260 --> 00:20:27.882
They beat me.

00:20:27.882 --> 00:20:45.487
The pitch bot is like the new york times beat me to satire, except it's real, like one of the, and one of the worst examples is is the one where it was like um, you know two imperfect candidates on abortion, and we're talking about biden and trump.

00:20:45.487 --> 00:20:52.324
Dude, biden is trying to get bring more access to abortion to women in the united states.

00:20:52.324 --> 00:20:55.491
Trump is the one who appointed them up, took it away.

00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:12.930
Tommy Topherville held up military appointments forever because of the Biden administration's policies protecting reproductive health care for women in the military.

00:21:12.930 --> 00:21:14.182
So what?

00:21:14.182 --> 00:21:16.931
The F word?

00:21:17.191 --> 00:21:33.546
Yes, word yes, doesn't drive you crazy and just this constant equating of like or equivocating between, yes, the insane person on the one hand, we don't like the way joe biden eats ice cream, but on the other, trump stage like wait, was it?

00:21:33.987 --> 00:21:35.347
a million times.

00:21:35.347 --> 00:21:38.412
Remember, after what was it that had happened in there?

00:21:38.412 --> 00:21:42.476
Like Hawking Jeffries lied, and this was after.

00:21:42.476 --> 00:21:52.613
And he was like oh, when, oh, when Mike Johnson Acquiesce that's like the best word that I can say like for him to funding for Ukraine.

00:21:52.613 --> 00:21:59.465
And then it was like, oh, that he was some kind of freaking hero.

00:21:59.465 --> 00:22:04.923
And then they were like, oh, hawking jeffries um, asked if he had the votes and he lied and it's like this is what you're going with.

00:22:04.923 --> 00:22:10.243
No, that was new york times and it was like this is yeah yes, they basically headlined that.

00:22:10.284 --> 00:22:13.160
yeah, they painted him out as like fdr or something and I was like what?

00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:16.462
The dude who's been blocking the a the entire, the entire time?

00:22:16.462 --> 00:22:19.704
He's now like, okay, get out of here with this.

00:22:19.704 --> 00:22:33.395
But yes, and look, the problem is is that we all know that something was wrong and then to have someone come out on the record and confirm it, just it makes it all the more embarrassing.

00:22:33.395 --> 00:22:47.282
I guess it'd been better off if they had just admitted it from the get-go, but the fact that they're like again, our democracy is on the line and they're choosing to ignore the terrorist who's threatened to have them killed should he ever get back in the office?

00:22:47.903 --> 00:23:24.651
and to just do this over a grudge because president biden hadn't sent down for interviews bananas, and then I can't imagine how damn bad an interview like seriously no, how, how damn I can't like well, maybe if they prove that no, I mean no one can prove enough loyalty to him but maybe if they prove that they're not going to cover him in any way, that um scrutinizes him or says negative things about him, they will completely take out of context and twist everything that he says for their own purposes, then maybe he will sit down for an interview with you.

00:23:24.651 --> 00:23:29.422
I mean, it seems like they're bending over backwards for it, Okay.

00:23:29.422 --> 00:23:31.048
I was going to put a finger, but I'm not.

00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:32.683
No, please don't.

00:23:32.683 --> 00:23:33.989
This is not the time or the place.

00:23:33.989 --> 00:23:35.691
But can you imagine I'm not.

00:23:35.691 --> 00:23:42.501
Can you imagine how damn bad the new york times must have been when by you showed up for the interview on the stern show?

00:23:42.501 --> 00:23:49.885
I bet they was like dog right in in new york he showed up to new york, but not for you not

00:23:49.905 --> 00:24:01.744
for you guys, and then, of course, I think that's awesome because I've been a stern fan for a really really long time and his interviews are pretty awesome and I think it's great that pota sat down with howard um.

00:24:01.744 --> 00:24:09.627
Howard is really good with um, just just getting to the nitty-gritty and you know people love to just like they do with with biden.

00:24:09.627 --> 00:24:12.561
They're like, oh well, he said this will be a racial jungle.

00:24:12.561 --> 00:24:15.670
I was like you got anything like more recent than 40 years ago.

00:24:15.789 --> 00:24:16.732
Can we tackle that real?

00:24:16.732 --> 00:24:17.101
Can I?

00:24:17.101 --> 00:24:26.634
Can I dispose of that nonsense quickly, Like if you go back and read the entirety of what Biden was saying when he made the racial jungle comment?

00:24:26.634 --> 00:24:38.288
That wasn't a comment about black people, that was a comment about white people being, you know, white kids in some of these schools and these white teachers being unable to handle desegregation.

00:24:38.288 --> 00:24:40.213
That that was it.

00:24:40.213 --> 00:24:45.067
It was like he don't trust white people to handle this correctly he was right not to trust y'all.

00:24:45.067 --> 00:24:46.450
No, offense white people you.

00:24:46.549 --> 00:25:13.553
You do, okay, every rare occasion, but at the time no, and biden was absolutely right about, because again we had to have the national guard show up to let these kids in the school in some instances, but that also goes to the conversation that we had when we were talking about the 94 crime bill and then you were like no, my parents were all for it because they were like this crime is and 70 percent of the Congressional Black Caucus was behind it, because they were like we need to do something.

00:25:13.553 --> 00:25:14.984
And it was him listening to.

00:25:14.984 --> 00:25:23.770
So it was like taking out of the context and it made me look back at my own opinion and looking into it to see where your parents were coming from.

00:25:24.071 --> 00:25:29.887
Oh yeah, so my parents didn't really talk about politics much in the nineties like that, or at least not with me present.

00:25:29.887 --> 00:25:32.760
But one of the things that did come up was that crime bill Cause.

00:25:32.760 --> 00:25:37.103
Like you know my mother, my grandmother they were like, yeah, clean up our streets.

00:25:37.923 --> 00:25:39.144
Yeah, yeah I mean.

00:25:39.183 --> 00:25:40.845
Another thing like that came up too.

00:25:40.845 --> 00:25:49.469
This is totally off topic, but like the health care that the Clinton Hillary Clinton was working towards, like they were in favor of that too.

00:25:49.469 --> 00:25:57.632
But look, the idea that that was a handout, like once you start talking in terms of handout, like that killed momentum for that thing.

00:25:57.632 --> 00:25:59.093
But yeah, but no.

00:25:59.093 --> 00:26:00.634
Back to Stern and the interview.

00:26:00.634 --> 00:26:01.074
It was.

00:26:01.074 --> 00:26:10.999
It was fairly I found it to be fairly compelling and a lot of people on the right, I'm sure, are going to make comments about how it was a softball interview for Biden.

00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:30.602
Well, stern also gave a softball interview to Trump, where trump said a bunch of raunchy and embarrassing things and I listened to those interviews because I have been, you know, a fan for a long time and so those interviews I distinctly remember I'd been, I would listen, how long ago was it?

00:26:30.602 --> 00:26:39.722
93 oh, was he a candidate for president at the time yeah this was before that yeah, it was prior to, because he was doing.

00:26:40.124 --> 00:26:41.909
He was doing a lot of rounds on the interviews.

00:26:41.909 --> 00:26:44.703
This is when oprah was still on the air and he was going funny.

00:26:44.743 --> 00:26:57.583
How willing he was to not incriminate himself because saying nasty things about your daughter isn't illegal, but like how willing he is to say gross things to impress when people laugh at what you say.

00:26:57.603 --> 00:27:04.182
Then you're like wow, what I said must have been good, you know.

00:27:04.182 --> 00:27:05.324
Yeah, well, that was the thing.

00:27:05.565 --> 00:27:15.041
Yes, stern has this way of stringing you along and making it feel as though you like you just being welcomed into the community when really what you're doing is outing yourself.

00:27:15.041 --> 00:27:21.824
Um, I just did either of you listen to the stern interview with hillary clinton when she was running for office?

00:27:22.164 --> 00:27:24.554
no, possibly I didn't listen to.

00:27:24.554 --> 00:27:25.135
I don't think.

00:27:25.175 --> 00:27:31.920
I remember that was a thousand years ago, man I, I gotta tell you 2016 that, yes, that was like multiple lifetimes ago.

00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:39.244
Audience, I don't know how you feel about this, but I feel like post 2020, um, it's like I really don't even know how to.

00:27:39.244 --> 00:27:40.276
It's like an episode.

00:27:40.276 --> 00:27:42.079
It's like the first season of true detective.

00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:45.106
It's like time is a flat circle.

00:27:45.106 --> 00:27:55.059
It's just a whole meaningless, meaningless circle of events and it just kind of blurs together and blends together no, I am sad yes.

00:27:55.121 --> 00:28:03.859
And then the next thing you know, uh, we're, we're, we're up for the next trump biden election, and just very depressing.

00:28:03.859 --> 00:28:13.144
But biden also had a wonderful outing at the white house correspondence dinner uh if so, if you had.

00:28:13.365 --> 00:28:25.271
You've got a range of biden performances here over the past month or so with the state of the union where he was fiery, righteous, indignatious or righteous indignation, biden, uh.

00:28:25.271 --> 00:28:31.789
And you've got the stern interview where he was heartfelt and thoughtful and emotional.

00:28:31.789 --> 00:28:36.821
And then you've got the white house correspondence dinner where he was boom, boom, boom.

00:28:36.821 --> 00:28:37.984
Yes where he was.

00:28:38.346 --> 00:28:56.467
It was a little bit of light-hearted but yet dark, brandon right and, and you know what, and I, and I absolutely love it and I have zero doubt that potus knows we're in the we're in the stretch now, like we're.

00:28:56.826 --> 00:29:11.276
We're in, like you know I don't want to be program territory oh yeah we are moving, like we are moving in that direction and the stakes are so high and he is really stepping up and on it.

00:29:11.276 --> 00:29:34.396
And I I think that maybe in the beginning, in the first you know, maybe one, two years of uh biden's administration that he was really thinking in the old school ways of still reaching across the aisle when he was able to negotiate and make things happen with people that didn't agree with him, before realizing like, oh, no, part of that was just Democrats had the House.

00:29:34.758 --> 00:29:49.727
So yeah but, but still, just as the, the rhetoric has amped up, ramped up, and just realizing that this is now or never and I, I have to abandon that.

00:29:49.767 --> 00:30:00.046
But he can't say it yeah, well, I mean, it's campaign mode, so like the gloves are off and he's taking shots at everybody but I think he also can't say it out loud you know what I mean.

00:30:00.046 --> 00:30:01.721
Like he still has to appear.

00:30:01.721 --> 00:30:03.175
Dude.

00:30:03.175 --> 00:30:12.931
He got in front of the press at the correspondence dinner and he was like a lot of people are wondering of what's going on in Congress's political theater.

00:30:12.931 --> 00:30:19.061
And of course that can't be the case, because if this was a theater, they'd have thrown lauren bobert out a long time ago, do?

00:30:19.082 --> 00:30:31.835
you know, how like, do you know how in tune you have to be with, like, the level of shade that you are throwing out there to pull off that joke in front of a bunch of journalists?

00:30:31.835 --> 00:30:39.951
And that is where biden is, where he's making handjob jokes dark, dark brandon man, dark brandon for the win.

00:30:40.633 --> 00:30:53.817
And and he still comes off classy when he says, even though it would say beyond levels, but he still, he comes off and it's so smooth.

00:30:53.837 --> 00:31:08.347
Yeah, it's one of the things that trump doesn't have right, like because trump is always so over the top and like there's never any subtlety and unless it's like trump trying to, you know, insinuate that people should result resort to violence.

00:31:08.347 --> 00:31:10.976
But yeah, uh, just yeah, yet another difference.

00:31:10.976 --> 00:31:12.821
And also biden's willing to laugh at himself.

00:31:12.821 --> 00:31:14.046
You ain't never seen trump laugh.

00:31:15.219 --> 00:31:20.739
Never seen him laugh, uh one time I can't, can't picture it, no, and he damn sure ain't about to laugh at himself.

00:31:20.739 --> 00:31:27.382
And that's why Obama, at the White House correspondent's dinner roasting Trump, set him on fire.

00:31:27.382 --> 00:31:32.708
He's been having a grudge since Obama ever since which.

00:31:32.708 --> 00:31:46.474
Yeah, that dinner was fun, biden was amazing and then so you got your your three variations of Biden here lately, and I'm glad that he's finally get some attention in the media.

00:31:46.474 --> 00:31:48.862
He does events and he talks in.

00:31:48.862 --> 00:31:50.165
You know he does.

00:31:50.165 --> 00:31:56.875
I mean, I guess I haven't seen him do a press conference in a while, but he's made some addresses to the media and I just don't get any coverage.

00:31:56.875 --> 00:32:02.048
And now he's finally breaking through and this is his correspondence dinner.

00:32:11.576 --> 00:32:11.938
This was like.

00:32:11.938 --> 00:32:15.875
I think this is one of the best, probably since Obama's like this is one of the most that stood out.

00:32:15.875 --> 00:32:19.455
As far as the correspondence dinner goes, then again, of course, trump never participated, because no?

00:32:19.455 --> 00:32:20.618
And then 2021?

00:32:20.638 --> 00:32:23.424
we're like man we're scared, we're gonna die.

00:32:23.424 --> 00:32:25.978
And then 22, and he too still had a little bit of hangover.

00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:28.744
And then we did have a whole pandemic.

00:32:28.744 --> 00:32:31.050
So right that was.

00:32:31.050 --> 00:32:32.895
But yeah, but it was.

00:32:32.895 --> 00:32:36.604
It was kind of refreshing to kind of see like it was.

00:32:36.604 --> 00:32:54.797
It was ribbing, you know it's a roast, but it was also fun and light-hearted and encompassed all of those things that kind of just remind us of what, bringing you know, dignity and fun back to the white house and someone who isn't just indecency.

00:32:54.797 --> 00:32:57.440
You know what I'm gonna kill you because you told a joke about me.

00:32:57.520 --> 00:33:11.281
Yes, like that's not where we are right now I mean colin jost actually made a joke about how like it was nice and that they could basically congregate together and tell some jokes and no one threatened to kill another person afterwards.

00:33:11.342 --> 00:33:15.836
Exactly, it's always nice when no one is threatened to be murdered, like that's.

00:33:15.836 --> 00:33:16.896
It's always a good thing.

00:33:16.896 --> 00:33:31.125
But it was, yeah, but it just reminded us of whoever was in the Oval Office and you know, the White House Correspondents Dinner was just something that was like, look look forward to that's.

00:33:31.125 --> 00:33:38.105
Like you know, this is going to be like when they used to do the Comedy Central Rose you know kind of it was like, hey, I'm going to, I'm going to laugh at myself, I'm going central rose, you know.

00:33:38.125 --> 00:33:44.356
Kind of it's like, hey, I'm gonna, I'm gonna laugh at myself, I'm gonna, you know, we're gonna throw some barbs and it's all in good fun and whatever and it's gonna be a good night.

00:33:44.356 --> 00:33:45.019
But it was just.

00:33:45.019 --> 00:33:51.915
It was just a nice fun night and just to see everybody participating.

00:33:51.915 --> 00:33:56.259
And you know, colin jones like and has telling his his story.

00:33:56.259 --> 00:34:10.891
So it engulfed so many things that have been missing for the past however many years that Trump has invaded our space.

00:34:11.534 --> 00:34:11.655
Right.

00:34:11.655 --> 00:34:29.186
Well, it's funny you bring that part up to like the Trump invading our space because someone on MSNBC I think they were starting to come to grips with where the stakes are, because they were like, hey man, has anyone realized that, depending on how things go in November, this might be the last White House Correspondents Dinner we ever have?

00:34:29.186 --> 00:34:40.018
Obviously, because Trump, if he gets reelected, he's going to kill the White House Correspondents Dinner, and I don't mean he's going to cancel it, I mean he's going to kill them all.

00:34:40.038 --> 00:34:42.545
Carol, it's time for when you were talking about the search and destroy.

00:34:42.545 --> 00:34:43.996
I'm sorry, what did you call it before?

00:34:44.557 --> 00:34:44.938
The who.

00:34:45.900 --> 00:34:50.688
Their tactic of taking articles out of circulation.

00:34:51.054 --> 00:34:51.817
Oh, catch and kill.

00:34:51.817 --> 00:34:54.184
Yeah, he's going to catch and kill the White House Correspondents.

00:34:54.615 --> 00:35:00.204
I kept thinking hopefully we're not going to look back and say like remember when catch and kill was just an expression.

00:35:04.456 --> 00:35:06.182
Oh damn girl you know him Okay.

00:35:06.182 --> 00:35:11.583
Well, dictator for a day, and then he's going to catch and kill all of us.

00:35:11.583 --> 00:35:13.583
But yes, we're on to our favorite segment.

00:35:13.583 --> 00:35:20.621
I would imagine it is time for our shithole of the week award and I have the perfect nominee.

00:35:20.621 --> 00:35:22.153
I know there's going to be no dispute.

00:35:23.016 --> 00:35:25.143
I feel like I'm going to agree with you Go ahead.

00:35:25.405 --> 00:35:46.608
Yes, in this arena, here so Trump vice presidential hopeful Kristi Noem wrote in her book details of how she took her dog out to hunt and it was ineffective, like a 14 year old little puppy basically, and she didn't like it and she ended up basically shooting it in the face.

00:35:46.608 --> 00:35:52.186
Yes, the internet was ablaze can I do my middle?

00:35:52.226 --> 00:35:58.726
fingers because unanimous you know all of them and my toes are doing it right now.

00:35:58.766 --> 00:36:09.786
You just can't see it I'm mad enough that people who return pets yes, don't even bring your dog back to the shelter.

00:36:09.865 --> 00:36:19.878
Yes, like all those people went out during 2020 and got dogs, and stuff and then, when they went back to work in 2021, they just abandoned their pets, yeah very, very disheartening.

00:36:19.878 --> 00:36:21.282
No, but the internet was a blade for life.

00:36:21.302 --> 00:36:21.862
That's your family.

00:36:21.862 --> 00:36:24.467
And then, when they went back to work in 2021, they just abandoned their pets.

00:36:24.547 --> 00:36:26.150
Yeah, Very, very disheartening.

00:36:26.150 --> 00:36:27.293
No, but the internet was a blade for life.

00:36:27.293 --> 00:36:28.315
That's your family, a part of your family.

00:36:28.315 --> 00:36:47.722
I mean, you know, different people have different relationships with animals, but I don't think anyone is at a point where they're just going to blast their dog with a shotgun or a rifle or something I'm just saying you don't get an animal if you're not willing to have it through its life, unless you're breeding it for livestock, and that's a different thing, just no, but yes.

00:36:47.842 --> 00:36:57.458
Just like the internet lit her up, and rightfully so, her chances of being vice president or at least running mate for trump are now shot like her dog, and of course.

00:36:57.478 --> 00:36:59.742
What about her chances for being a human fucking being?

00:36:59.742 --> 00:37:00.726
I'm sorry I said that.

00:37:01.327 --> 00:37:04.916
Well, she she was out of that contest a long time ago.

00:37:04.916 --> 00:37:08.202
Uh, but again, as is for this is trump.

00:37:08.242 --> 00:37:09.606
Really gonna hold that against her?

00:37:09.606 --> 00:37:10.795
Or just because she's a woman?

00:37:11.336 --> 00:37:17.300
uh no, because she's a weirdo and she because he's and because she's good looking, and you know he's all about aesthetics.

00:37:17.300 --> 00:37:23.063
So I really am not convinced that everyone is saying, oh, her career is over, her career is over.

00:37:23.063 --> 00:37:36.565
I'm not convinced of that, like I haven't seen any proof that her career is going to be over and if he wins, like idiots, will flourish everywhere in the country I don't know.

00:37:36.625 --> 00:37:37.106
It's just weird.

00:37:37.106 --> 00:37:41.224
A bunch of pro lifers are like, all right, great, let's shoot my dog, uh.

00:37:41.224 --> 00:37:44.175
But no, as per the usual, hillary clinton was right about everything.

00:37:44.175 --> 00:38:02.398
As she said previously in 2016, you can't vote for someone that you wouldn't trust with your dog, and with that, we hereby uh award uh christy noam with the shithole of the Week Award and, for anyone who's new to the podcast listening to this, like the Shithole of the Week.

00:38:02.398 --> 00:38:12.661
We adopted that terminology not to be crass, but it is specifically in reference to Trump's comments about African countries that he made off the record.

00:38:13.875 --> 00:38:21.306
So you know, we kind of, and then again publicly at a televised convention.

00:38:21.768 --> 00:38:22.349
Yeah, fair enough.

00:38:23.657 --> 00:38:25.871
He has since made those comments publicly.

00:38:26.273 --> 00:38:33.880
Right, we co-opted the word, and then we hand out a trophy to the worst person in politics of the week or it doesn't necessarily have to be politics.

00:38:34.061 --> 00:38:37.597
Don't be jealous If you think the name is crass.

00:38:37.597 --> 00:38:42.846
You should see what the trophy is made of exactly all right.

00:38:42.925 --> 00:38:45.731
Closing thoughts kids who wants to volunteer to go first?

00:38:46.579 --> 00:38:47.221
I'll do it this time.

00:38:47.221 --> 00:38:53.940
You can see my enthusiasm when I talk about voter registration register to vote.

00:38:53.940 --> 00:38:55.744
Bother other people to register to vote.

00:38:55.744 --> 00:39:04.465
Send them to me and be like crazy chick wants you to vote and um, but what would be crazy is not registering to vote now.

00:39:04.465 --> 00:39:05.789
Other things you can do.

00:39:05.789 --> 00:39:07.619
I've I've enjoyed writing postcards.

00:39:07.619 --> 00:39:11.547
Set a reasonable goal for yourself and send a few a day.

00:39:11.547 --> 00:39:11.996
Um.

00:39:11.996 --> 00:39:15.585
Check out postcards to votersorg.

00:39:15.585 --> 00:39:16.847
Um, that's what I got for now.

00:39:16.847 --> 00:39:18.813
Look, I'm pro postcards to votersorg.

00:39:18.813 --> 00:39:19.655
That's what I got for now.

00:39:20.297 --> 00:39:25.335
Look, I'm pro postcards he made me, come straight from the airport to the pod and he's like.

00:39:25.335 --> 00:39:27.643
By the way, we're going to be on video, oh man.

00:39:28.235 --> 00:39:33.353
She's like literally fresh off vacation, so we'll give her, we'll give Carol, a break today, all right.

00:39:33.353 --> 00:39:44.414
But no, I'm excited about the postcard things, cause you know, look, it's the little personal touches, when you reach out to potential voters to get them to engage with the process, that makes all the difference.

00:39:44.414 --> 00:39:50.789
So kudos to anyone who takes the time out of their day to do the hard work of engaging with potential voters.

00:39:50.789 --> 00:39:51.356
All right, ty.

00:39:51.356 --> 00:39:52.039
Closing thoughts go.

00:39:54.637 --> 00:39:57.146
We really need to amplify Project 2025.

00:39:57.146 --> 00:40:01.719
I've been thinking more and more and more about this all the time.

00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:23.335
It is not getting any coverage, it is not getting this threat and where we are right now and what we are facing is and nobody is safe is safe.

00:40:23.335 --> 00:40:27.271
Nobody is safe Because if you were to eradicate all the brown people, the black people that you don't like, who's going to be next?

00:40:27.291 --> 00:40:28.735
Because these people aren't driven by a certain color.

00:40:28.735 --> 00:40:41.929
They're driven by their hate and they're driven by their cruelty, so they will always be somebody that they want to denigrate, that they want to marginalize, that they want to subjugate.

00:40:41.929 --> 00:40:46.704
Period, and it's not going to end.

00:40:46.704 --> 00:40:59.297
It's not going to end with women, it's not going to end with African-Americans, it's not going to end with our black, brown, yellow sisters and brothers, yellow sisters and brothers.

00:40:59.297 --> 00:41:03.083
There is no end in sight because their hate has no end.

00:41:03.083 --> 00:41:17.626
They are fueled by it, they are driven by it and they will do whatever is necessary to attempt to satiate their desire to hurt other people.

00:41:17.626 --> 00:41:22.280
And we need to.

00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:34.346
Even if they don't listen, I don't care, but we still need to put it out there what 2025 is about, what Project 2025 is aiming for.

00:41:34.346 --> 00:41:38.021
Period, and that's just my piece.

00:41:51.235 --> 00:41:51.655
All right, as for me?

00:41:51.655 --> 00:41:52.217
Um, again, as for the usual.

00:41:52.217 --> 00:41:53.579
We've had a a recent primary election here, last tuesday.

00:41:53.579 --> 00:41:54.501
Biden again is dominating.

00:41:54.501 --> 00:41:56.804
Uh, trump is again underperforming.

00:41:56.804 --> 00:42:02.565
He's losing hundreds of thousands of votes to nikki haley even though she's long been out of the race here.

00:42:02.565 --> 00:42:04.512
Uh, just trump again.

00:42:04.512 --> 00:42:12.117
Poor showing after poor showing in every single state here for the I I don't know, since the beginning of the primaries.

00:42:13.219 --> 00:42:34.722
Yet on on on sunday here, cnn dropped this poll supposedly showing biden losing by a massive, a massive gulf to trump, somehow, even though biden's been leading in the polls here for the last few weeks, or I guess, to be more specific, he's been tied, if not leading, in a number of polls.

00:42:34.722 --> 00:42:40.708
And then we get this crazy outlier where it's 49 trump, 43 biden.

00:42:40.708 --> 00:42:50.436
