Starting point is 00:00:00 Oh, yeah. I'm starting to think of Pundit not as your daughter, but as your sister. Like she's your full sibling at this point. She's of equal respect and authority in the office as you. Yeah. I mean, even I don't come in and out of any meeting I want at any time. You don't need me scratching at the door to let you in. Into the monthly marketing meeting. Everybody have good Thanksgivings? Brian fell in love. Brian fell in love.
Starting point is 00:00:25 I fell in love. Nice. Yeah. Nice. Hey, Eric. Whoa. And we're back. I'm here with Hallie, Brian, and Sarah.
Starting point is 00:00:44 Let's get into it. What a weekday. During a three hour long space on X, Jesus, formerly known as Twitter, George Santos predicted he would be kicked out of Congress. I know I'm going to get expelled when this expulsion resolution goes to the floor. I have done the math over and over. It doesn't look really good. I hadn't heard the laughing. And Santos knows a thing or two about math. He invented algebra. But our boy George isn't going out without a big, beautiful splash. Within the ranks of the United States Congress, there's felons galore, there's people with all sorts of sheisty backgrounds, and all of a sudden, George Santos is the Barry Magdalene of the United States Congress.
Starting point is 00:01:32 First point. Felons galore. Incredible drag name. He makes... George Santos... He's a star. He just is. He's a star. Felons galore. That's a wonderful turn of phrase. Well, he said it as if he was introducing someone. He's like, in Congress, there's felons galore. Yeah, it's like a star you go to buy really big, weird underwear. I also think that Mary Magdalene is the gayest biblical reference you can make. So we were talking about this yesterday.
Starting point is 00:02:06 So what does he mean when he says Mary Magdalene, like cast out because he likes to fuck? Is that sort of the gist? Yeah, sort of. Yeah, the sexual exile. But again, giving himself air. It's like one of the more fabulous biblical figures. Right, like traditionally considered like a
Starting point is 00:02:26 whore, a prostitute, Mary Magdalene. I think he fancies himself a whore, but really we only know he likes OnlyFans. It only goes one way. Yeah, he's a client. Yeah. Are you and I shysty? Is that what he's saying? So, it's interesting that I... Is he allowed to say shysty
Starting point is 00:02:41 if he's lied about being Jewish? It's almost like being Jewish. Right, well... So, I did, like, so yes, I mean, when to say shysty if he's lied about being Jewish? It's almost like being Jewish. Right. Well, so I did. Like, so, yes. I mean, when I heard shysty, you know, my spidey sense was tingling. But so it is like you can see that, like, he has that. Like, it's so funny. Part of the thing that's amazing about George Santos is he's doing all of this in a gay voice.
Starting point is 00:03:06 And I really like that. Like, he calls people pussies. Matter of fact, I think he should be a man and stop being a pussy and call the privilege on the damn motion. Which is so weird to hear from him. It's like. Well, because pussy isn't usually said with hard palate. It's usually glottal. It's usually like pussy.
Starting point is 00:03:26 And here it's like pussy. Yes. Yes. Well, it's not usually in the gay. It's not in a gay voice. Like it's almost like gay voice is a tonal language, you know, like Mandarin. And like the word pussy just doesn't fit inside of that style. But yeah, but it's like when he says shysty i was like oh like
Starting point is 00:03:46 he could be a reality show star but he could go he could go q anon like he could go full anti-semite it's possible also it's like well you know that that's why you're in congress like it's not like a suddenly a reveal it's like yes yes that's that's why you're there for the first place you know right like that, he knows he did it. Yeah. Like, he knows he's guilty. And I can't wait to read the book. The best, so one of the things that's in this ethics report is, if you remember, there were
Starting point is 00:04:13 all these stories when we first started to come to understand that George Santos was not who he claimed to be, that he had loaned his campaign tens of thousands of dollars, I think north of $80,000. And he was also unable to pay rent on an apartment that was several thousand dollars. And so it didn't make sense. Like, wait, he's a business person that can loan this amount of money, but he'd also been unable to pay rent. This doesn't add up. There was no loan. It was a lie. He pretended to loan his campaign $80,000 so that he could raise money from real donors because his campaign looked real and legit because there was enough money on the books.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Then he just started paying himself from the real money that came in to pay his rent, to go to OnlyFans, to buy Hermes, to go to Sephora, whatever. And he just had, he completely fabricated the whole thing and he knows that. And he knows that. What a legend. It's incredible. It's crypto 101. Well, it's funny that his strategy for running
Starting point is 00:05:13 was the same as like a barista trying to get tips where you just put a dollar in the jar already and other people are like, oh, I'll put a dollar in the jar as well. It's very Hollywood. It's very like, hey, like, how do we get Meryl to do this while convince her that
Starting point is 00:05:26 Amy Adams is doing it how do you get Amy Adams to do it tell her that Meryl's doing it and you just lie to both of them and hope that it works and sometimes it does sometimes it does I want to miss him yeah he's not going anywhere we're gonna have George Santos
Starting point is 00:05:42 you know he is a hot grifter sister does he remember that there's also just um i think it was mitt romney that said it like that there's something just not quite right about him like there is something like it's it he that moment when he laughs about being expelled like he could kill like this is this guy oh yeah it's a dark laugh yeah allegedly but there's something deeply wrong with it there was a there was an article about romantic comedies once that i can't find but about how um hollywood moves on uh from like leading women too quickly and like they're not gonna like like there'll be an incredible performance in a rom-com and then
Starting point is 00:06:22 they won't be in the next one and i was was like, but I wasn't done with her yet. Like we weren't done. We're not done with, this is a stupid point. He's our Meg Ryan. Yes. Yeah. Like we're just not done with George Santos yet. No.
Starting point is 00:06:31 You know, we've not reached the final chapter of his story. And that's exciting. That's exciting to think about. The resolution to expel Santos was filed by Republican House Ethics Committee Chair, Michael Guest, following the release of the committee's report alleging Santos used campaign funds on personal expenses
Starting point is 00:06:47 ranging from rent to OnlyFans in addition to filing allegedly false campaign finance statements. Amateur shit, said Clarence Thomas as several nude billionaires removed their masks. If expelled, Santos would only be the sixth congressperson ever expelled from the body. The previous expulsions were three Confederates and two members of Congress who were convicted of federal crimes. So be careful if a beautiful woman with an ill-fitting
Starting point is 00:07:08 wig tries to get you to join the Confederacy, it might be George Santos. You want to expel me? I'll wear it as a badge of honor, said Santos. I'm through with the insanity of this place. He then jumped on his unicycle with three babies strapped to his back and rode off into the night. I'm through with the insanity of this place, said your worst roommate, while packing up his whippet supplies and leaving behind the untrained pit bull he brought home without asking anyone. Shut up. I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything about bringing an untrained dog.
Starting point is 00:07:39 He wasn't a pit bull. He wasn't a pit bull. Nope. What was he? Cattle dog. Oh. Yeah. Because you knew that you had had so much pasture for the dog to roam.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Yeah. Israel and Hamas agreed to extend their four-day truce, which would have ended Monday by an additional two days. Okay, the hard part's done. Now we just have to keep this going for infinity more days. The extension would allow for the release of at least 20 more Israeli hostages in addition to the 50 freed as part of the initial truce agreement and came just before the Israeli flags and IDF bracelets my dad ordered from Jerusalem arrived. Your dad was like little Liv Strong. I don't know. I just, we were at a restaurant and both of my parents are on their phones and it's like, we talked
Starting point is 00:08:28 about this. This is not screen time, but whatever. And all of a sudden my dad looks up and he goes, oh good, they've arrived. What arrived, dad? The Israeli flags and IDF bracelets from Jerusalem. Holds my gaze to see what I'll say in response. And I was like, what do you want? What do you want me to say? What do I say, Dan? How much do you want me to? What do you want? You want to get into it? Want to get into it? I see you're not wearing one of the bracelets.
Starting point is 00:08:55 No, well, they just arrived. I think they arrived to Florida from Jerusalem, which is I think like as far as a route that Israeli flags and IDF bracelets are currently traveling, I imagine it's one of the most heavily, heavily trafficked routes. There's like an indent in the ocean. Yeah, that's where those are coming. That's the route for those things. Is that the only jewelry your dad owns? Yeah, multiple bracelets is funny. I don't even know what it means. I guess it really is. It's like a stack of bangles. Yeah. He's shaking wherever he goes. The announcement came a day after President Biden told reporters that it was his goal to extend the truce in order to get more hostages released and more humanitarian aid into Gaza. Well, my actual goal is to lay down, but all these people keep hauling me out to this podium, said Biden on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Biden went on to say, we'll continue to remain personally engaged to see if this deal is fully implemented and work to extend the deal as well. Listen, as someone who's been engaged personally, sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. Elon Musk traveled to Israel on Monday, meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and touring a kibbutz where dozens were killed during the October 7th Hamas attack, as if that kibbutz hadn't been through enough. Musk broadcast a conversation with Netanyahu where he called the visit to the kibbutz jarring and said he'd seen footage of the massacre that he found troubling. I think I speak for all Jews when I say, sounds good. No further questions.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Keep up the great work. The idea that like this guy, this billionaire who has vast power over satellites, car companies, social media platforms, does not believe the world exists when his eyes close. Like, I think that that's great. I think it's terrific that he does something anti-Semitic on social media and then uses his access and resources to go personally see the devastation of one of the most deadly terrorist attacks in the history of Jews on planet Earth, because he needs to see it
Starting point is 00:10:44 personally. His personal eyes on this is important to him and to the world. It's really valuable that Elon Musk thinks that like he should like parade around like a visiting dignitary as if this has anything to do with him. Like the, the, like the audacity and like narcissism and self-centeredness of the kind of person that's like, Oh, I did something anti-Semitic. I get to go with the Israeli prime minister to a fucking massacre to prove how much I care. Like, that should not be accessible to him. It doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:11:12 He doesn't deserve it. He doesn't belong there. Who the fuck does this guy think he is? I cannot stand it. My only hope is that he, fortunately, he is having enough kids to form an army that will rise up against him. Like he will be stopped by his dozens of offspring.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I like that he thinks like Pepsi is going to say, oh, he visited the kibbutz. Like we're back on the ads. Right. A fig leaf. Right. Like so that if they want to come back, they can point to this and say he's fine now. I guess so. I don't like morbidity tourism, period. I guess so. I don't like morbidity tourism, period. I just he he's acting like he's like when the president visits the the the place where a tornado hit to talk about the importance of federal aid reaching that place.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Like he's acting like him walking around and seeing it is of some value. kabuki. It's a kabuki performance of caring and concern and I don't know, action. Right. He runs the tornado factory. That's the problem. He runs the tornado factory. Can you believe the tornado did this? It's like, well,
Starting point is 00:12:19 yeah, you work at the factory. You make more tornadoes. In my mind, when he's visiting the kibbutz, he's also like topless like he is in that Ari Emanuel picture. Like he's kind of just
Starting point is 00:12:30 like wandering around like he's on a yacht. Oh, I hope that that's not the case. I kind of hope it is. It's also an extension of the just do my own research mindset.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Yeah. Well, I can't possibly trust the news or anything that any of these experts have said. You got to go see with your own eyes. Right, right. You can trust me, Elon Musk, because I went there and I'm on that so it's like he is attempting to prove that he's not an anti-semite after he has first of all removed a lot of barriers for anti-semitic conspiracy theories and hate to spread on the platform amongst all different kinds of hate to spread
Starting point is 00:13:18 on the platform he personally expresses sympathy for a vile you know, anti-Semitic conspiracy himself, then goes in towards the kibbutz to deal with the fact that there's been a ton of fallout, but immediately shares a different, also quite anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, though his specific reference to it wasn't. It is part, QAnon has anti-Semitic components to it. So he's, regardless of his like kind of performance of not being antisemitic, he has zero, he's learned nothing in a larger way about what he is doing in his own information diet and the kind of behavior he's modeling. So sorry, anyone who's defending Elon Musk online or suggesting that because he makes good electric cars, we should excuse his other behavior. He learned fucking nothing from this
Starting point is 00:14:10 trip. And the fact that he gets to have conversations with the right wing prime minister of Israel on Twitter spaces doesn't prove anything about him. Doesn't do anything. Oh, and where all that came from. You feel better? No. Hey, don't go anywhere. There's more of Love It or Leave It coming up. All right, let's switch back to the very exciting 2024 Republican primary. Very exciting 2024 Republican primary. Chris Christie said on Sunday that Donald Trump deserves blame for the rise in anti-Semitism across the country.
Starting point is 00:14:52 With a wry half smile and just a hint of a mischievous glint in his eye, Christie went on, That's why we're not calling you Donald Trump anymore. Oh, no, we're going to start calling you Donald Hitler. He can have that one. Listen. If he's watching. That's pretty good. Yeah, give it he's watching that's pretty good yeah give it to him that's pretty good i will say though if your only jewish friend were jared kushner you might be a little anti-semitic too oh yeah you know i'd be like yeah they must all be like that
Starting point is 00:15:16 said christy on cnn state of the union well look when you show intolerance towards uh everyone which is what he does um you give permission as a leader uh for others to have their intolerance come out and so you know intolerance towards anyone encourages intolerance towards everyone to which the reporter replied is that so, you fat fuck? I have to say, like, Chris Christie's great now. That's good. That's good stuff. Well, he shouldn't be president. He should be a first grade teacher.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Oh, I don't think so. As someone who's a first grade teacher, ripped up a card that I made for my mother because I used the wrong paper. You need the right temperament. Okay. This is explaining a lot. So you've thought about this every single day since it happened. Well, wait a minute. How bad was the paper?
Starting point is 00:16:08 Yeah. Basically, because I had not followed instructions, I used the wrong, I used the scratch paper, not the official white paper for the card. So she ripped it in half. And her name was Mrs. Johnson. And then. That was all of it. She's married to the Speaker of the House.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Oh my God. And then, so she was my first grade teacher. And then when we were in second grade she they switched her to third grade which i think made sense and then i was terrified i was gonna get her again but i didn't i got miss bergstein there was a lot of that going on when we were younger oh yeah a lot of a lot of ripping up paper for no reason it's like i'm seven i don't know what's going on like please help me i didn't tell my mother for like a year. And then she didn't care. No.
Starting point is 00:16:48 She was like, well, what am I supposed to do now? You have to go to the school and fight the teacher. Give her a paper cut. Punch her in the back of the head. Mrs. Johnson, though, she did that thing that teachers were doing in that era, which is, teachers were doing this. I don't know that they still do it, where they teach classrooms about racism by on some random day, like, dividing the kids based on hair color or eye color. And then like, but not letting, she never let on. She like, I think like she kicked out the brown eyed kids or I can't remember, but I got kicked out of the class.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Well, you have to be mean to the majority of kids to make that whole exercise not be horrible. Right. Like you have to like the brown, the brown eyed kids have to be ones that you're like punishing or like second class because. I feel like I was in the hallway with one kid. I feel like things I don't know. I don't know that she implemented it.
Starting point is 00:17:39 You went to Aryan High. You went to Aryan High. Yeah, that's right. I went. Yeah, that was. Yeah. Well, that was, yeah. Well, this is a divergence. Was that in Greenport?
Starting point is 00:17:49 Where was that? It was in Woodbury. It was in Syosset. There you go. Do you ever have to do that thing, the Nassarima? What's the Nassarima? Did you guys have to do the Nassarima? No, it doesn't sound familiar.
Starting point is 00:18:03 It was like a social studies exercise where like you'd read about the Nassarima people and like all their like crazy like customs and like and then oh no nasarima is just america backwards and it was and where where are the the others uh and it's like a lesson in like uh you know judging uh the practices and customs by other peoples interesting yeah interesting no we didn't have the nasarima oh well this is why i'm so um loving yeah no that's why uh that's why you're that that's that describes you yeah interesting in a true social post over the weekend donald trump claimed he was seriously looking at alternatives to replace obamacare for example i've still got plenty of room under my golf course president biden highlighted that post in an address on monday saying this And my predecessors, once again,
Starting point is 00:18:51 God love them, call for cuts that could rip away health insurance for tens of millions of Americans and Medicaid. They just don't give up. But guess what? We won't let these things happen. I am confident, Biden went on to say, that America will come together and make sure we don't allow Donald Trump to return to power and cut healthcare, ban abortion, and destroy our democracy unless sometime over the next 11 months I don't lift my foot enough on one stair. God love him. He's looking good in this video. He looks good. He looks good.
Starting point is 00:19:18 That's our guy. That's our guy and we love him. We are not looking at the same thing. He looks good. He looks great. He looks great. He looks great. He looks great. He's a hot old man. Okay, for the edit,
Starting point is 00:19:29 can we sub in any other picture? No, that's the picture. He looks good. This is the best he's looked in a while. He looks good. That's a strong vertical.
Starting point is 00:19:36 He's not tilting any direction. He's tall. He's still tall. The tie is good. I don't know that I've seen that tie or if I have it
Starting point is 00:19:43 or recognize it. He's still tall. Being tall is worth a lot or if I haven't recognized it. He's still tall. Being tall is worth a lot in this country. It really is. He's tall. It's a good tie. I actually really like that tie on him. What do you like about it?
Starting point is 00:19:53 I think it's a strong stripe. It makes him look tall. It makes him look tall. I like a red and blue stripe. Or is it red and gray? Either way, it's working. The whole thing is working. He looks good there.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Yeah, I mean, we'll see how it all goes. He goes with the flag. Look at him. Does no one eat a banana around him? Right? That peel could just drop out of your hand so easily. It's a jump. Oh, I see. Yeah, because of the peel. Because people slip on banana peel. Yeah. Not a thing that actually
Starting point is 00:20:22 happens. Well, we'll see. In real life. Not frequently. On actually happens. Well, we'll see. In real life. Not frequently. On my Hinge profile, on the prompt, one way to get me to fall for you, I wrote, put a banana peel in front of me. That's cute. I want to break your heart.
Starting point is 00:20:35 I have seen that a lot of times. Oh, damn it. Cut that. I didn't steal it. Wow. I guess I'm just an original. That sucks. That does suck.
Starting point is 00:20:44 That sucks. I'm so sorry. Is your personal motto, it's always one o'clock somewhere? I guess not. No, it's really not. I guess it's really not. Meanwhile, Trump continues to threaten to deploy the military within the U.S. if he returns to power, including using it at the border and to police American cities. The principal constraint on the president's use of the Insurrection Act is basically political, said one legal scholar to the AP. Trump has been saying this more and more frequently, and the AP spoke to legal experts and national security experts
Starting point is 00:21:19 about what limits the president's ability to use the Insurrection Act, and sadly it is not much. And the Brennan Center has written about the need to reform the insurrection act. But there's a line in that AP story that says the president's use of the insurrection act is not reviewable by the courts. And I really like, we got to stop using, uh, got to stop giving Trump ideas. Uh, and, and just like, that's quite an assertion that it's not review. I would like, I would like, I think sometimes in the way we talk about presidential authority, it's like, that's quite an assertion that it's not review. I would like, I would like, I think sometimes in the way we talk about presidential authority, it's like,
Starting point is 00:21:55 we talk about the president's authority as being vague, ill-defined, and in some sense, limitless. Like, and this runs all the way back to when there were tons of debates during the George W. Bush administration about John Hughes, like a unitary executive theory, the idea that the president is this sort of just all-power figure that sits, all-powerful figure that sits atop the executive branch. But it's continued. And it's very frustrating when the analysis of presidential power is that who can say it's really up to whoever's in charge, which I think is not fair or true or no way to think about it. It's collectively up to us to limit it. But then when it comes to judicial authority, they're quite open to putting in the story an emphatic
Starting point is 00:22:27 statement, not in the voice of an expert, but as a fact that the president's power is not reviewable by the courts. And like, let's all button it up, you know? Let's just button it up. I'm not a lawyer. But neither were the people that wrote the Constitution, you know?
Starting point is 00:22:43 Some of them probably were, no? Yeah, in a sense. but they were also just like shopkeepers with lead poisoning so it's like you know we all get to read it you know it's a document for all of us it's not up to some as george santos would say pointy hat wearing ivory tower dwellers you know now i'm using it correctly george santos used the term incorrectly. Do you think it's better that we have microplastic poisoning versus lead poisoning? 100%. Okay, great. 100%. I'd rather hormonal imbalances that have lasting but hard to define repercussions for our health than lead poisoning where you see butterflies and then have no judgment. You know what I mean? Yeah, but you're not like living your life aware that you have no judgment. You're like, I have lead poisoning and incredible handwriting and I'm a founding father.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Yeah, you're very confident. Yeah. About your bad ideas. Yeah, but we are hormonal imbalances lead to much better dance music. That's a good point. First Lady Jill Biden has chosen the theme magic, wonder and joy for this year's White House Christmas decorations. The first lady explained she wants to capture the heady mix of emotions one experiences after surviving a German shepherd attack. Said the First Lady, each room on display is designed
Starting point is 00:23:56 to capture the pure, unfiltered delight and imagination of our childhoods, to see this time of year through the wondrous, sparkling eyes of children. Oh, and don't worry. In one of those rooms somewhere, we stuck one of those holla candelabras or whatever in case Doug shows up. Holla candelabra. I like that. I like holla candelabra. That's the drag name.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Holla candelabra. Pretty good. Pretty good. He has, he owns a tornado factory. Yeah. That's good. Yeah, he does. That's good yeah he does good former president jimmy carter traveled to atlanta monday for rosalind carter's memorial service despite being in
Starting point is 00:24:30 hospice care so if you happen to see him at magic city throwing 20s please let him do his thing jimmy carter rosalind carter and sad remember that photo where they were so tiny in the vines or something i love that picture someone explained why that happened and it was interesting to look at it just it was like a wide angle lens and they're like well i created that effect i like though that it's like you can have that effect explained to you you can understand it but you can't stop seeing what you're seeing yeah it's it's like it's truly the same technology that allowed them to do uh uh what's his name from the hobbit like to have like elijah wood and uh which one the main wizard gandalf god damn damn it. Ian McKellen? Ian McKellen!
Starting point is 00:25:25 Yeah. He doesn't seem like an Ian. That is such a bullshit excuse. You just forgot his name. Because he doesn't seem like an Ian. I wanted to say Ian. What does he seem like? Richard. Gregory.
Starting point is 00:25:35 What does he seem like? Gregory. I'd buy Gregory. What does he seem like? It's more like he... Malcolm. Yeah. Producer Malcolm. Malcolm. No, but he does seem a bit? It's more like he... Malcolm. Yeah. Producer Malcolm.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Malcolm. No, but he does seem a bit like a Malcolm or like, what's like a, like, Rupert. Yeah, so what's a British name? He seems like a Rupert. I had a grandpa Rupert. Really? But I found out over Thanksgiving
Starting point is 00:25:57 that his legal name was Ruby, which used to be a man's name, but it wasn't by the time he was born, but his mom didn't know that, so he just started going by Rupert, but never changed it officially, but like joined the army and stuff under Rupert. You could just do that back then. born, but his mom didn't know that. So he just started going by Rupert, but never changed it officially, but like joined the army and stuff under Rupert. You could just do that back then.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Yeah, you could just do that back then. Why do you think his mom didn't know that? Is it a Jewish name? Yeah. Because it was Ruben. Oh, that's what it is. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo announced Monday that she is leaving Twitter,
Starting point is 00:26:21 calling it a gigantic global sewer that is destroying our democracies. Classic Paris, always culturally three steps behind me, Jonathan Lovett, find me on threads. Yes, Brian? Nope, nope, no comment. I am realizing also, like, I've referred to Twitter as a sewer,
Starting point is 00:26:37 and I think we're not being fair to sewers when we compare Twitter to a sewer. We need sewers. Sewers are an important part of infrastructure. And yes, they smell bad, but that's they smell bad in the service to our society of carrying bad things away and keeping the parts
Starting point is 00:26:54 that aren't a sewer quite nice. Twitter is not a sewer. It's far worse than a sewer. It's like a reverse sewer. It brings it to your home. A reverse toilet in your home. It's a broken pipe. It's like you're holding a reverse toilet in your hand all the time. I'm. A reverse toilet in your home. It's a broken pipe. It's like you're holding a reverse toilet in your hand all the time. Yes.
