Starting point is 00:00:04 All right, joining me today on IHIP News is my friend Walter Masterson. He is a comedian, activist, and you might know him from crashing a pro-Israel rally dressed up as a storm trooper. Let's play the clip. The Empire. The Galactic Empire did nothing wrong. I stand with the empire. We all derives from the Rebel Alliance. It was mocked carpet.
Starting point is 00:00:37 We blew on my mom. All right. So how did that go over? And how did you get the idea to do that? Oh, God. That was, I wanted to sort of cross genres because I feel like a lot of us watch these movies and TV shows. And we always understand who the bad guys are. And then suddenly that all goes away.
Starting point is 00:01:01 So I just figured, you know what? Let me take any genre, take any. piece of fiction and just side with the bad guys and justify that. And everyone can hear how dumb that looks. Like we could go back and forth with history. You talk about Theodore Herzl, but you know what? Forget all that. Let's just break it down the way that someone can understand, anyone can understand it.
Starting point is 00:01:23 They'll be like, oh, right. Yeah, we're saving Alderan. We can figure out how dumb that sounds. I mean, and that's what's so disheartening about the time we're living in. My husband always says this. He always says, it's just, just so enraging that everybody's celebrating the villain. Yeah. You know, with with MAGA, with the war crimes of Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel. It's just people are flagrantly celebrating the bad guys. Oh yeah. And it's it's always this sort of, you know, I know you are, but what am I? With any time you're like, well, you called me a fascist. That means you're a fascist.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Obviously, that's how fascism works. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And we have to remember that the first person to ever call Trump Hitler was J.D. Vance. Oh, God. I love that. Yeah. I actually have an old interview. I was at the RNC right as the news dropped. So I got to watch their reactions in real time. And I thought, this is perfect. Trump announced J.D. Vance as his running mate. And I get to watch all of their reactions and pull them in real time before the talking points come out before they've been told what to think. And you can find the video. People are a little like, okay, I mean, I guess. Everyone was like, huh. Who do you think they wanted? They wanted Marco Rubio to balance the ticket. Okay. Because Marco Rubio is sort of seen as this,
Starting point is 00:02:58 you know, Rhino, he's seen as like marginally Maga. He's sort of more of the older publican garden. They thought, oh, that'll unite the right. And they had other people that they thought for this. What's her name who had the failed Arizona campaign? Oh, yeah, Carrie Lake. Yeah. Someone like that.
Starting point is 00:03:21 So what's it like? Okay, the RNC, a couple of things stick out to me from that. Number one, everybody putting maxi pads on their ear. Number two, Ushavance saying that she's a vegetarian to the crowd of MAGA Republicans. And I just, every time I think about MAGA being or like, I guess it completely fell flat, but I always think about Ted Cruz doing this video where he goes, Kamala, you're not taking away my cheeseburger. And it's, you know, do you remember that clip where Ted Cruz is talking about comedy? Yeah, it's always, we're trying to take away their gas stoves, their cheeseburgers,
Starting point is 00:03:58 light bulbs. I mean, when... Were you there during Ushavance's speech? I wasn't there for that, but it tracks because I've been to over 30 Trump rallies. I followed him around and did interviews for years when I first started. And I am clear that no one is listening to what he was saying. No one, because there's so many people going, you know, I really didn't vote for this. And then I'm like, I went to these.
Starting point is 00:04:28 I listened to his speech multiple times. And, you know, this is exactly what you voted for. He actually, to his credit, was incredibly honest. He was like, I'm going to deport just everyone. I'm going to set up camp. There's going to be camps. And he actually was, he laid it out. He was like, I mean, they laid out Project 2025.
Starting point is 00:04:52 He held up signs that had mass deportations now. I mean, there was everything about, about it. And having been to these rallies, I don't think anyone was listening. There's sort of a dynamic that happened at those rallies. When he would ramble on at these rallies, you know, sometimes they would go on like two, three hours. Would the people start leaving early? Oh, always, always. Because this is what happened at every rally. They would do this all the time. So they would say that the rally started at 4 p.m., 3 p.m., right? Because they wanted to get everyone in there, Right. So these people would get there. And granted, these are in open fields. There's no cover, none.
Starting point is 00:05:36 So these people are stacked with no cloud cover, just getting blasted on by the sun. And he's never the opening act. There's always a bunch of people opening for him. He goes on dead last. Every time, by the time they get to him, people are exhausted. Naturally. I mean, that's because they were supposed to be there hours before. All these people spoke. And by the time he's going on, they're like, all right, you know what? I checked this box. I punched my time card. I saw him. Cool. Put it on my Insta story. Yeah, just did the thing. Okay. What's your take of, I would say somebody who's going to go to a field in bumfunk America to see Trump is a full-blown cultists because there's degrees of maggag. I mean, I will, I'm not going to knock him for doing that because the Democratic Party spends just this ungodly, what should be in a legal amount of money, just trying to get voters
Starting point is 00:06:43 in those areas. And they make all types of bizarre contortions, ethical contortions. They're like, oh, yeah, well, we can do fracking. Yeah, we can, we can have, you know, some ice. We can, you know, we'll let ice, you know, shoot people like sometimes. And then to try, they do that to try to get those people in those areas. They'll do everything but go to those areas physically. I agree.
Starting point is 00:07:08 So I'm not knocking that. That was genius. He spent years going to these random areas and these people felt very ignored, which they are. Because they don't have money. No one cares about them. And yeah, he's like, hey, I, I, I, care about you and they're like, oh, he's our savior. He's the only person to come here and, you know, tell it like it is. So, you know, that as a tactic, uh, without spending hundreds of millions on these focus groups. Yeah, like, yeah. No, it's really smart because, you know, I recently moved to New York from Oklahoma City and I've always been a political junkie. I've hosted more fundraisers for losing Democratic candidates in the state of in Oklahoma than anybody. And, um, you feel
Starting point is 00:07:55 as a person that is blue in a red state or perhaps red in a blue state or a state that isn't contested at all. You feel like a forgotten voter. You don't feel like you're a part of the political process. And I remember in 2016, Bernie came. I voted for Hillary. I regret it. But Bernie came to Oklahoma. Bernie won the state of Oklahoma in the Democratic primary because he came and he campaigned there. He actually had rallies and people felt seen. And recently, whether you like him or not, Pete Buttigieg went to Tulsa, Oklahoma. And there were some people criticizing that online. And I looked at the comments and all the people in Tulsa were like, we're just glad he came. We're just so glad he's here. We're
Starting point is 00:08:39 so glad somebody's paying attention to us. And Democrats abandoning a 50 state strategy is such a horrible idea because what happens like in Oklahoma right now in the gubernatorial race, you have the Republican primary and whoever wins the Republican primary will win governor. So they out crazy each other. They are who can be the most anti-trans, who can be the most Trumpy. And it is a race to the bottom. And so you get a much more radical Republican Party because of the Democrats, even if you don't win in these states, you need to have a presence, a presence. You need to let people feel like they're a part of the process because eventually Democrats have started to invest in Texas.
Starting point is 00:09:19 And it's trending purple. I mean, it is definitely heading that way. So what is your take on the people at the rally? Take us into the psychology of these people that go to a Trump rally for hours on end. Oh, God. Here we go. So, I mean, yeah, there's definitely like a cultishness to it. And these people have never been a part of something.
Starting point is 00:09:44 So a lot of people come there and they feel a sense of community. And the community starts when you put on the maghast. It's like, oh, welcome. You know, you're wearing a maga hat. You're one of us. You're in the club. That's why I originally went there years ago wearing a maga hat, interviewing people, because visually, that's all they cared about.
Starting point is 00:10:07 It was like, oh, okay. You're wearing the maga hat? Cool. Visually, that's it. And then they, and then you feel like you're apart. And it doesn't, I mean, there are, I don't want to say like, I don't want to say it's like diverse. But I mean, you see.
Starting point is 00:10:23 it's like there's like two black people there you're going oh okay right and you know and no one's everyone's like oh well you know they're that's that's that's good enough for me in terms of numbers you know that's let's not get too much here right and they're like oh good and they always point to them saying well if we're racist then why are they here so they talk about race a lot Well, I actually, Jolly Go Ginger, early on, he went with me to these things. He very much told me, so do not say the word racism, because it's like waving red in front of a bull. Because I made the mistake in an interview talking about racism, just the word itself. And this guy absolutely lost it.
Starting point is 00:11:11 His fangs came out. And Jol Liginger is on the sidelines laughing. He's like, I could have told you not to use that word. around them and it was a very amicable conversation until I mentioned that. I was like noted. So it's like they've been propagandized of like, you know, racism. I think it all goes into like racial capitalism of like, well, if, you know, we acknowledge the black people, if we acknowledge them, it's all going to take away from us.
Starting point is 00:11:44 It's going to take away from our piece of the pie, this small piece of the... And also, I think it's the bargain that they get, like, you're not going to get higher wages and you're not going to get health care, but you're going to get to be racist. We're going to give you that. You're going to get that. And Trump has really delivered that for them. I mean, it is completely untethered. I want to show you a clip of some crazy shit that Trump is doing this week and get your reaction.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Let's play the clip. Let's do this. These people have unbelievable courage, unbelievable. A lot of other things, too, by the way, to get in there. have to be very smart, have to do a lot of things physically good, so I would have had no trouble making it physically very, very good, or maybe a little bit of a problem. I don't know, I'm sure. We'll have to try it sometime. Is a president allowed to go up in one of these missions? We can get working on them. We have no problem, right?
Starting point is 00:12:36 We'll watch more rockets, the opportunity. We'll have to try it. Oh, my God, that is such, you know what? I got to say, I totally agree with Donald Trump. I think he should totally go up to space and you know who should be in charge of it, Elon Musk. That is so brilliant. After watching him manage Twitter, I think he should be in charge of taking all the billionaires and Trump administration officials into space. I think that's, you know, I mean, listen, if you have any doubts,
Starting point is 00:13:13 just look at what he's done with Twitter and prove me wrong. Am I right? I think that's exactly right. That's incredible. Yeah. I particularly like how he manages child support and baby mama issues on Twitter. I mean, you know, that's like one-stop shopping. I own the website.
Starting point is 00:13:30 I can deal with all of my offspring and their moms for, you know, for your Elon Musk. He can do all of his white supremacy. You know, he's been retweeting like full-blown Nazi shit. Oh, yeah. Always did it before, but now it's like 800 times higher these last two weeks. If you can imagine, he's gotten worse. worse. Oh, wait, it got worse the past two weeks. Yeah. Yeah, I talked to a scholar and she has a theory on this. She's a theory that the tech industry's investment into J.D. Vance has not
Starting point is 00:14:03 been what they thought it was going to be because J.D. Vance is face planning because Trump's rat fucking him every chance you can get. He's like, yeah, you go to Pakistan. You go campaign for Orban. You're the fraud czar. So Trump's rat fucking Vance, right? And all of the tech oligarchs are like, oh, fuck, we paid a lot of money for him to be vice president. And they're all having like a mass psychotic episode right now because their investment is unraveling before their eyes. And I'm here for it. Yeah. I also think they have a better plan than what I think Biden had was they're keeping, whereas the Democratic Party kind of sequestered Kamala, then when it was time for her to actually run and do something. It's like, where have you been? Whereas they're keeping
Starting point is 00:14:45 J.D. Vance very front and center because they know Donald Trump's got very limited time left. I mean, they could, you know, throw the Constitution in the trash and then just have Trump, you know, do a third term, but they're like, yeah, we don't know about this. Like, he's any day now and J.D. Vance has got to be ready to take the helm. And so they have him very visible, visible. The only problem is he doesn't have any, there's no way for him to say, oh, hey, you know, I disagreed with Trump so much because he's, he's basically working hand and glove with him. Totally. Okay, here's another clip of Trump making fun of a NASA administrator's ears. I love this. Well, the best man to tell you that is a man standing right over here.
Starting point is 00:15:32 You heard that question with those beautiful ears of years? He's got great hearing, you know, super, he's got super hearing. Trick of the trick. For those of you that are listening, the guy has very large, out-of-scale ears. That's very consistent because he's, Trump has been phenomenal at coming up with middle school insults for people. I mean, the way he trashed DeSantis was just, I mean, putting fingers, all that stuff. I mean, phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Yeah. So I mean, that's just, that's just consistent. I mean, right? I mean, he hasn't, that's still his biggest superpower. Oh, I agree. Middle school nicknames for people. Totally. The only person who beats him in that, I think, or rivals him is Curtis Slewa.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Oh, yeah. Curtis Slewa was great. Curtis Leva's like, mm. Yeah. Okay. If you're like me, you pick on the right and the left, which we both do. Bipartisan, yes, yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:28 So here's a clip of you interrupting New York moderate, Democratic Tom Swazzi. Let's play the clip for the audience. Moderate. I'm going to read the name. of the nine people that were killed by ice this month. I'm reading names people killed by ice. And you're gonna touch me? You're gonna touch me?
Starting point is 00:16:45 Alex Freddie, Renee Good, Gave Porter, Perry Laugh. These people were killed by ice this month. Nine people were killed by ice this month. And you're throwing me out while I'm reading their names. You are funding our occupation. That's not good, you made a mistake. Tell Alex Prattie, you made a mistake.
Starting point is 00:17:07 So do you, when you go in and do these, you have, so when they take out one protester, you have another pops up. What's it called? Popcorn disruption. And you're really great at this because it's like they get one and then another pops up, then another. Yeah. And then they finally get the hang of it by like the sixth or seventh person. And they're like, oh, okay, I see how this works. So this congressman, if I remember correctly, there's this theory or it's kind of been proven that the Democrats deploy a rotating villain strat.
Starting point is 00:17:37 where they don't whip the votes. They are not a full opposition party. And so they'll be like, okay, y'all are going to have to take this hikki. You're going to take- Oh, yeah, like Jared Golden with voting for the war. And Swazi, I believe, he funded right before these killings. He voted to fund ICE. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Is that right? Yeah. And so that's why you went there to call him out. Yeah. And it's funny is that this is in a synagogue. He held his town hall in a synagogue, okay, which, which, okay, I mean, this is a town hall. It's in a synagogue. It's not during a religious service. I had some misgivings about that because I don't necessarily like going into a religious institution.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Right. But the people that were in the synagogue, those are his constituents. They agree with him on things like Israel and all that stuff. If you look at the rest of the video, they start calling him out too. They're like, yeah, no, you're on the wrong side of history. Get back on the right side here. And they start screaming at him for this. After we started, they were like, they were like, yeah, we're here because you messed up, pal. And then he, there's like a full video of this live stream there when he starts being like,
Starting point is 00:18:53 hey, you're acting like those Palestine protesters right now to his own constituents. And I was like, oh, that's good. That's so good. calling his own constituents, which were like vehemently pro-Israel, and they're calling him out. And he's like, hey, you're acting like one of those Palestinian people right there. Cut it out. And I was like, oh, well-played, sir. Let's talk about this, Walter. Sometimes, and this is something I think the Democratic voter base needs to be made aware of.
Starting point is 00:19:26 So a politician like Tom Swazzi lives in a very blue district. And he's given this benefit by virtue of having a D behind his name because voters are not super engaged all the time. We have lives. We have shit we want to do, et cetera. Not everybody's just nut political junkies like you mean, the listener. And so they think, oh, yeah, I'm going to vote for the D. Sometimes. Don't check under the hood.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Sometimes under the hood, they vote a lot like ours. And I've read some stuff that, you know, it's almost like this. This is an intentional plant, politicians like Swazi, that go into these blue districts, and then they just deliver corporate policy for corporations, much like the Supreme Court is doing right now over and over again. And what's your take on like where we need to be, like right now, I feel like we're approaching a primary. We need to be really critical of our party, especially the corporate ones.
Starting point is 00:20:26 But then as we gear up towards the midterms, the primaries are over. What are your thoughts on supporting like vote blue no matter who after that? I cannot wait for someone to win their primary that is very far to the left that has a lot of problematic views against Israel and so on. And I would love to pull those same vote blue no matter who people and be like, hey, come on. Where is it? You know, Janet Mills just dropped out.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Yeah. Vote blue no matter who, baby. Come on. Then it's got to be Graham Platner, right? Yeah. I do feel like I like Graham Platner. When he speaks, we shared the same politics, all of that. It is frustrating that he had a Tottenkoff tattoo for all those years.
Starting point is 00:21:18 He's, you know, all this was a, you know, Blackwater, you know, freelancer for a while. And it's like, and I'm fully aware, though, I'm just going to say it. if this was a Republican and it was like, oh, I didn't know what this Tottenkopf tattoo meant, it would be all over it. We'd be like, yeah, okay, moron. Sure, sure you're right. So I do think, you know, we can hold his feet to the fire on that because I know exactly how I would feel if someone gave this like, oh, this, this tattoo, I mean, what is it really? I mean, just. That's a really fair take, Walter. I mean, it really is because it's a difficult, when he speaks, I'm with you. I really like
Starting point is 00:21:58 what he speaks about and i do believe in political evolution the co-host to this podcast angie she was a republican white evangelical bible study mom and now she's full-blown woke and you know goes further and further left the more she learns the further left she goes so i know that this is happening and this is happening everywhere um but i do agree that this is going to be a place where when they cram the vote blue no matter who down our throats, Janet Mills has just dropped out. Graham Platner's there. So what are they going to do? Vote for Susan Collins? Yeah, right? It's like, yeah, go for it. Yeah. It's very concerning. Yeah. Or just, I mean, also, you know, as far as for like the left, there's a lot of people that are very
Starting point is 00:22:44 disillusioned by this electoral process. And my thing is like, you need to show up for primaries. If you don't show up for primaries, then if you're showing up for election dates, way too late. Yeah. Because they've nominated someone that is just not very likable. And I feel like that is sort of on the ballot this year for the primaries and the midterms. Is can someone be very progressive and still win? Because that's been the wisdom forever. I mean, what's the name?
Starting point is 00:23:19 You know, Clinton's old? advisor, you know, it wasn't until Mumdani won where he took out a NYT op-ed and was like, hey, I was wrong. I kept saying to go to the center. I think Democrats should have this populist, you know, message of economic rage. And this is, uh, what's his name? He was famous. Rahm Emanuel. No, no, no. He was, he was, uh, Carville. James Carvel. Oh, James Carvel. James Carvel did an NYT op-ed. And this is the same guy who goes on CNN, goes on MSNBC, anytime some corporate-backed establishment Dem loses, he's the first to go up there and be like, yeah, that guy was too woke. Meanwhile, it's someone that, you know, it's like beyond, they're
Starting point is 00:24:08 like hawkish. They're pro-Israel, hawkish, corporate-backed, their campaign cost $50 million. And he's just like, yeah, a little too woke. That's probably why they won. Probably why they, the Republicans won. And he kept saying that. It wasn't until Zoran won. Then he's like, huh, maybe this, you know, having two separate parties thing, maybe they're onto something with this. And so I think that is what's at stake with the primaries and with the general election is because they kept, they'll keep saying the establishment Democrats. I mean, you know, it's nice to be progressive, but you're not going to win with that, right? You've got to really be hawkish and, you know, support ICE and Israel.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Don't you think that? Billionaires and all this stuff if you want to win, you know, in those states, right? So we didn't get to have a primary in 2024. And for 2028, I think we'll be able to have a primary if Donald Trump doesn't like, I don't know, nuke us or something, which based on the evidence that I've seen this. Fingers crossed. He's rather unhinged. But let's assume that we get there hypothetically.
Starting point is 00:25:16 And you know, I like to make people go viral for asking hypothetical questions. about the 2028 election. Hypothetically, who is your frontrunner? Okay, so I think I was going to vote for Jill Steinberger for St. Louis, Missouri's alderman position. And then for the St. Louis City Council, let me see. So wait, are we just talking about the president? Just the president.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Oh, oh, God. I mean, I know it's over 900 days away, but we really need to get excited about Gavin Newsom. I know there hasn't been a primary. I know we haven't lined up all the candidates. It hasn't even been a debate or anything like that. But listen, we need to just get excited about Gavin Newsom, all right? That's not how democracy works.
Starting point is 00:26:08 You don't just wait until the primary and pick your favorites, okay? You have to get excited about Gavin Newsom right now. I know he's unpopular in a lot of, of other states and there's a lot against him and I know he's really not going to galvanize a lot of voters and stuff but you have to get excited that's just how this works I'm sorry otherwise you're a bad person yeah yeah and not a real Democrat no no no it's I listen my my philosophy is this if the election was two weeks away two months away I'd be like oh my God Gavin Newsom, he just released a new meme.
Starting point is 00:26:53 It's a he did did you see his new meme. He dropped a new meme. Oh my god. Oh my god. Nancy Pelosi. What a girl boss. What a feminist icon. Hakeem Jeffries.
Starting point is 00:27:04 What a fighter that guy. I mean if we were on the eve of the election right right. But we're not we can this is the off season we can talk shit. I don't care totally we can yeah like we're you know what if a son biker got up here like a week before the election. And was like, I don't know. Then I'd be like, all right, forget this. I'm, you know, I'm siding with Israel on this one.
Starting point is 00:27:27 So at the end of the day, though, are you a harm reduction voter? Yeah. I'm voting for someone compared to who they're running against. So like the same way, I just interviewed Tom Steyer in California. What do you think about him? Okay, so there's two glaring things that he's never served in public office and he's a billionaire. Okay. To, like, the billionaire thing's nasty.
Starting point is 00:27:51 You think the most for the pretty red flag? Like, and that turns a lot of people off immediately. Okay. People are like, I don't, I've had friends. It doesn't turn me off. Yeah, I'm judging and I'm based who he's running against. Right now, I think that California has like a jungle primary where it's the two top votes go to the general election and he's neck and neck with a Republican.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Do I want the Republican to be the governor of California? Absolutely not. No way. So if it's between the two of them, you know, if Becerra was gaining in the polls, and that's actually not a bad matchup, him and Bacera, okay. I'm not thrilled with Bacera with the taking money from Chevron multiple times. There's a lot of good things about him as well. So that's it. I'm biased also because I his number one issue is climate is fighting climate change.
Starting point is 00:28:53 And Steyer. Yeah. And meanwhile, our governor, Kathy Hockel, is behaving like a Republican. She dumped a pipeline in New York. She's trying to gut our climate law. So she's I mean, she's awful in that regard. So when I met him the other week, I was like, oh my God, someone who cares. about the climate and that's their top issue. Oh my God, like I'm so starved for people to talk about the right things that I'm like. No, we are so desperate. Like the bar is so low from me. I'm like, oh, oh my God. Like so. But you liked him. I do I do like him. And if there's, I like him
Starting point is 00:29:35 and I also understand that he is a billionaire. And I, that part to me is sort of like the, you know, I even felt weird after the interview. I was like, I didn't like the guy. Did you feel like you needed to exfiliate? I was like, he is a goddamn billionaire. You know what? It's so it is like a, uh, like, ugh, right? Like, because I'm aware that if this was a Republican billionaire running,
Starting point is 00:30:00 you know, we, I would see this exact. I'd be like, yeah, you're here. Doesn't, that part doesn't bother me because like if you look at like McKinsey, Scott Bezos, she's a billionaire and she just making money and investing money to give it away as fast as impact investing it's the system that created these billion mirrors that's so problematic do I hate Elon Musk fuck yes Peter Thiel Mark Zuckerberg who went on Joe Rogan and said he felt like Joe Biden neutered him and he was so glad masculine and he was like oh what a pussy right so of course these guys are just
Starting point is 00:30:33 wholly unlikable but I think we have to be cautious as Democrats yes there is a eat the rich appetite out there but if there is a benevolent billionaire that is willing to say, tax me, this system is broken. I'm here to work with working people. Then we shouldn't just be like, one of the best examples of that is Shoycott, Chuck Arbartee. Yeah. He's running for Nancy Pelosi seat. He's running against a pro-Israel Zionist whose corporate back. The last name is Wiener, right? If his opponent. Scott Wiener, yeah. And so, and meanwhile, Shoycott had a, you know, tech, say it early on. So he's worth an incredible amount of money. He's rich. Yeah, he's very rich.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Yeah. And but he has been spent the last decade, you know, he was the chief of staff for AOC. He started justice Democrats, which puts people like AOC against establishment Democrats. I mean, that was their primary purpose is to unseat and primary these establishment Democrats. And he's have, he's done a lot of great things. And, And so like and who he's running against, I don't like. Right. It's like very establishment, very, it's like everything that we don't like. So that is, so if we're able to dismiss Choycott outright, was very frustrating to me.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Because I'm like, he's, we know exactly who he's running against, who he's running against. Yeah. It's very clear who, what this race is about. Yeah, I just think we have to be cautious as we move forward and we're remaking the party that back to like an FDR. our party that we can't just hate rich people. I mean, that's just that is so a such a black and white impulsive kind of attitude. I mean, we can't hate them. We we can. We can. But the system rocks at them and throw like tomatoes is so bad. And if there are like shy caught and I mean, I haven't I've listened to Tom mainly I've seen this video of him doing, he was like dancing with a rapper.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Have you seen this? Tom Steyer. Kylie, you know what I'm talking about? Where he's, yeah. And but I don't, I mean, I don't know. I don't follow local California politics that much. I mean, obviously the whole Eric Swabble thing, you know, followed all that fucking shit show. That was.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Also, I mean, how quaint he resigned over a scandal. Immediately. Yeah. Do y'all, did you find this video of Tom? I'm kind of into it. You know what? Listen, A for effort here. That's what I think.
Starting point is 00:33:32 You know, whenever we see a white person just dancing, I mean, I think we just need to, we also need to encourage it more. I've got a wedding coming up, you know, and I want people to be dancing. Yes. You know, I mean, I've come from a white family. And, you know, I really, you know, they're sort of like, you know, they get on the floor, they dance. They're like, mm. And then they're like, yeah, okay. Like, and then you, you take the song, you switch songs and then they're like, whoa, whoa, this isn't Abba. Like, I don't know, I can't
Starting point is 00:34:05 sing along to this, got to go. And then they evacuate the dance floor. So, you know, I'll allow it. Walter Masterson, thank you for stopping by high hip news. Please go harass Maga and make more and make more of your popcorn. My harassment is bipartisan. Thank you very much. You're exactly right. It is. I stand corrected.
Starting point is 00:34:27 I apologize. Thank you for coming by. Thank you so much. Oh, absolutely for having me. Yes, of course. All right.
