You had also asked to not be called Mr. Book. Yeah, that was my first mistake. Yeah. But then, you know, you had, I've been, speaking of book, I didn't have a dream that I read, but I had another one of those dreams where it felt like reality. It was just so innocuous. And I woke up today and I was like, oh, man, yeah, I should book another trip to Australia. And he's going to tell us all about it.

No, that's it. That's all. Oh, wow. I thought that I was going to have news to deliver about Jimmy Carter being dead, the former president. but apparently it was a hoax. Ben's got a line directly to his hospital bed. Oh, his coffin. No, it's just in his car.

They've already got him in there. Also, leave a comment if you like Ben's shirt. He's out of T-shirts because he... Sorry about that. I actually, I have some T-shirts, but they're just too small, and I was like, you know, I've got all these nice shirts. I bought this thing years ago, and I never wear it. And I thought, it's too hot to wear this.

in the summertime in Los Angeles. But then I remembered, brother, you're going to be indoors, AC. You're like a whole new guy. You look good. You got the highlights. You got enough about the highlights, man. I can't wait for them to be gone. Why, I like them.

You got a little tan. It's bouncing off the highlights. You're in a new shirt. He's been working out. His body's insane. I worked out. Yeah, I worked out. Anyway, Jimmy Carter's not dead.

Yeah. The peanut farmer didn't, he, would you say he was one of the best presidents or best after president? in terms of a life of service. I think he really had a tough time reckoning with the horrors that comes along with being a U.S. president and weirdly dedicated his life to being a good man. Yeah, a humble peanut farmer he was. He started out as.

Didn't he sell off all his assets or put him in a blind trust or something? I'm not sure. Once he became president so that he would have no conflict of interest or at least nothing that people could point to as a conflict of interest? Not sure. Imagine that.

Imagine a president doing that. So I actually have something, one more little commentary on the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, which is I watched the Renee Rousseau. Renée Zell-Wigger vehicle, Bridget Jones. René Rousseau, Clint Eastwood vehicle in the line of fire. Okay. Have you seen it? No. It stars Renee Rousseau and Clint Eastwood opposite.

Did you do it all in one sitting or what? No. no i didn't why don't you go ahead and tell them why no no no well that's like a bonus yeah you're right episode thing we gotta get to this we're really beaten around the bush who's the bad guy that everybody makes fun of or the the actor that everybody said john malcovitch john malcovich is the bad guy but it's about how john if you're watching i would never make fun of you i would never classify you it's just that people make fun of john malcovich and the way he speaks paying homage it's cool but uh clin eastwood plays a secret service agent who

failed to save JFK getting shot in the head. And I just had this moment where I thought, man, it's extremely fucked up that this guy, that JFK's death was arguably the most public death of all time. Not only did his head get- That's your commentary? Yeah, just like, it's wild that we- You were like, I got to get on the mic and tell people it's wild that he had a public debt.

Think about it for a second. It shook the entire country. Yeah, but just that they kept on showing it over and over. in slow motion like yep there goes his head boom everyone remembers where they were it's bananas except George Bush senior for some reason even though he was in Texas and in the CIA what's the deal with that wait really mm-hmm he doesn't remember where he was that's what he says I can't do George Bush senior uh and yeah then I had a I also had a very painful moment last week a stock that I had um I looked it up on mu mu actually and used their bevy of tools to

make an informed decision and I bought shares but then I sold them and that stock jumped up like seven bucks and I would have made a lot of money but thanks to Mumu I at least caught it for a minute and

yeah check out the description link get yourself a nice little wave as long as you could you know get that thing a nice little sign-up bonus what? Nothing. Yeah and it's you know what company it is? It's the company that makes the little robots, the automated Uber eats deliveries Anywho, Joe Byron

Bam, Ban, Ben, Bam, Bam, Bam, ha. Joe Byron step down, or did he actually do it? Nobody knows. Uh, okay. It's been a long time coming. The... We got a lot to pick apart. If you're, if, truly if you're living under a rock,

who are they going to say hi to? He pooped his dang pants at the, at the debate. And everyone went, oh, Jesus. what are we going to do with this fucking guy? I was like poop in here. And they gave him like three weeks. And they said, look, we're going to let you go on some talk shows. If you can say the right words, if you can say words right, we'll let you keep the

presidency. He's like, oh, easy. Yeah. And then he went on every TV show and he fucked it up. And then they were like, Joe, we're going to give you one more chance. You're going to do the NATO talk. And if you can fucking say words right, you can do it. And he's like, I got it.

And then he called Zelensky Putin. and then he called the Vice President Donald Trump. Didn't he call someone Obama too? And Nancy Pelosi was like, that's him cocking a gun for the audio list. It was her cocking a gun. Yeah, it was her, that's Emil Han cocking an air gun. That was Nancy Pelosi cocking a gun.

So what happened was he... And then he tried to kiss another woman. Yeah, I don't believe that one. He looks like he's just leaning. No, I know. When you're an old man, you kiss every woman. I'm not sure if that's true. You greet family friends with a kiss on the cheek, that kind of shit.

Anyway, Joe Biden allegedly stepped down via Twitter, and there's a reason that I say allegedly because there are some pretty credible conspiracy theories out there that it wasn't actually him and that it was a kind of coup, if you will. What do you think, my esteemed colleague? I feel like he relented. I think he definitely didn't want to step down. I think I'm pretty sure even as late as Saturday. he was saying, I am staying in the race,

and we're going to win this thing. Perhaps he was saying that because he felt that he had to. He had to keep the party united. I think, and there's all this reporting of behind the scenes talk, Nancy Pelosi saying stuff like we can do this the easy way or the hard way.

We've had three weeks of the easy way. You're about to see the hard way. I also think, I don't know. People were saying that he was being insulated from a lot of this, from his teams, So, I mean, they were saying he didn't even know how bad his numbers were in that kind of thing. And they finally were like, look at this, you fucking moron. You're turning New York into a battleground state.

You're turning easy victories into hard-fought things where they don't need to be. Some of the conspiracy theorists out there allege that they got him well. Some go as far as to say they gave. gave him COVID. They intentionally gave him COVID to incapacitate him to make all of this easier. Get down to your beach ass. Go down to Rahobah. Take it easy. Is that in Delaware? Yeah, Rahobaheath Beach. That's where he has his beach ass. Interesting. That's where he still is, allegedly. So they, these conspiracy theorists say that they got him while he was sick. Number one, they posted it to Twitter, which they posted it to, they're saying that they posted it to Twitter,

which would force his hand. Because once you post it. obviously he's not in hand holding an iPhone posting on Twitter he's got he also has never posted on Twitter yeah he's got his lackeys doing that for him not only that but the actual the actual letter that that was posted features his signature but it has it has something on it that is inconsistent with just about every other signature he's ever had which is it's got an underline he signed Joe Biden and then underlined it and apparently he never, ever, ever, ever signs it like that. You could say that it was actually him doing the resignation,

and then he just had someone else sign it, much like how my mom would have me sign like a check for her way back in the day, because I knew how to do her signature shit like that. But when you're the damn president of the United States, I would think that you've got to sign the actual thing. Also, some of his closest advisors and stuff, It was news to them. They had to find out via Twitter.

Also, he hasn't been seen in public for days. The only, the only... To be fair, he is supposed to be isolating from COVID. True. I also think, yeah, I don't know. A lot of people are like, he's dead. Yeah, people were saying he's dead. And they're hiding it from us.

He's supposed to address the country in a few days. Yeah, I think there's an element of whatever he comes out, the next appearance he does is going to be his biggest, most remembered thing from his legacy where he's stepping down. I'm sure he wants to rest and not come out all sick. Also, it begs the question, if he's dropping out of the race, does that mean that he's unfit to see out the rest of his term as president? You could argue both ways, I think. I would say that he's not and that he should step down, which would probably make the whole transition and having Kamala Harris is the next candidate easier.

But there was also this controversy that there was a campaign event in Delaware where he is. He's nowhere to be found. They had him call in, quote unquote. I believe it's a call. I believe it's real. But they're saying that some people are saying it's not. Well, the problem is that Kamala misspeaks and says, thanks for joining the recording or whatever. She just says rip.

And then he's just call. Give me a break. It's a recording. Yeah. But here, let's play a little bit of that. So much more we're going to get done. So this is his voice. And so I want to say a little to Kamala.

If she can hear me, I know she's going to be speaking shortly. And I want to say to the team, embrace her. She's the best. I want to call it today to thank everybody, everybody in this effort. I know yesterday's news is surprising and it's hard for you to hear, but it was the right thing to do. I know it's hard because you've poured your heart and soul into me Even if it is a recording

I don't care I don't think that that proves or disproves anything There is also this video of him Actually addressing the country a few days ago We should play a little bit of this Because this is probably pretty important My fellow Americans

I want to take a moment To address some of the hateful shit You've been talking about me Many of you have said I am suffering from brain worms Or that I have apples sauce for brains Well I won't miss words

so here it is. Fuck you. You're all a bunch of faggots. End of quote. Repeat the line. So enjoy President. I love how they threw an end of quote, repeat the line. Cackles are President booty juice.

I really don't give two fucks anymore. Biden out. Oh, that's pretty good. Hey, guys. We got something really important to talk about and it's men's passion, particularly summer fashion. You're obsessed.

I have a real personal story with this one because I was desperate. I was saying, what? I was saying, I got to get some stuff. Well, I was like, what shorts should I get? Literally, I'm looking at J-Crew. I'm looking at Topo. I'm looking at, I'm just going on websites looking at stuff.

I'm like, none of these look good. And then I found chubbies, all right? These are like the perfect shorts. They also don't just make shirts, shorts. They make shirts. They got some high-quality stuff, man. They got super stretchy shorts, swim trunks. in three inseam lengths.

I know you like them short shorts. They got pants, polos, buttoned down shirts. Man, these things just hit, they hit hard. Not only are they comfy, but you look cool. I would say sexy, actually. And you keep cool with these shorts. Yeah, that's true. You cannot do better than the chubby's iconic original stretch shorts.

They're available in 4-inch, 5-5-inch, and 7-inch inseam. I think you like the 4. That's right. I like the 5-5-5-5. Drag me for letting the thighs out. Well, because my legs aren't as good looking as you're. Thighs out for the guys. Yeah.

You can pair the original stretch shorts lineup with the Chubbies lineup of Friday shirts, which are just good looking. You're cooking with gas with these things. They got casual button downs. They've got retro-inspired prints. And look, it's summer. We've got to talk about the Chubbies classic lined swim collection. All right.

Without hyperbole, the absolute top of the men's swim. game all right i saw you sporting those at the beach this week you saw me popping my little thighs out in that four inch yeah god you lucky guy oh would you look at that folks for a limited time our friends at chubby's are giving our listeners 20% off with the promo code bays at checkout at chubbies shorts dot com that's 20% off your order with the promo code b a es so support our show and tell them we sent you don't just blend in with the crowd stand out chubbies i mean That's just fantastic. And like you said, is Pelosi behind it?

I think so. I think she is one of the more powerful people. He obviously didn't do this willingly. You know, no idea what's going on over there. We'll probably find out more. But the reaction with all these like mainstream media, people being like, this is the most heroic thing I've ever seen in my life. This is the epitome of an American patriot is just. This guy is going kicking and screaming.

He's got his claws in the fucking curtains in the Oval Office. He's being dragged out. And the only real reason he's being dragged out is because, you know, fundraising money started drying up. People were, whatever, the Ford Foundation or all these things were literally like, George Clooney, Batman? George Clooney, but people were literally saying we're going to withhold tens of millions of dollars unless you replace this guy.

By the way, the Biden campaign had, has nice. $96 million in their bank account. And within the first 24 hours, Kamala Harris raised $81 million. So just came shy of their entire stack. That's from grassroots donations. When you do it all with the big donor packs and everything, it was close to like a quarter of a billion dollars. Well, I sit here fucking humiliated and I feel like a total dip shit.

There's no reason to. No, I know. I'm joking. Because that's an impressive grassroots hole. Yeah. But, well, so maybe we should back up. So there was a lot of people. This happened on Sunday, right?

Yeah. Everyone was a bit confused about what was going to happen. It seems like already, I mean, this is Tuesday. She's already the presumptive nominee. The way it works with the delegates and everything is that she would need to get 1,968 delegates. I'm pretty sure she's at the time of this recording. She got it, yeah. It's at like $2,200 or something like that.

So, I mean... So how does it normally work? Can you explain that to us, idiot? Yeah. Briefly, concisely. It used to work where, you know, before the 1968 convention, which all went crazy, it used to be kind of a... The convention was an actual nominating convention.

People would send delegates to go represent their wishes and stuff. Now, is that kind of like the electoral college? No. Okay. This is the nominating process for the DNC or the RNC. But then people were like, you know, we deserve to have more of a say in this. We deserve to have more of a say. You get the primary system where people are like, they're directly voting for who they want to be elected in their state.

And there's all these weird clauses. And they're just, they're writing their own rules anyway, right? The DNC is writing their own rule so they can make change. changes. They have something called, you know, the superdelegates where no matter what happens, they get to pledge their delegates to whoever they want. But so, yeah, there's this weird thing, you know, there's clauses. Like, they don't necessarily have to vote for who they pick. They vote for who they think best represents their constituents' wishes and things like that. Even if it goes against the constituents' wishes?

If it was egregious, it would be a problem. I think whatever. everyone's relying on right now is that everyone voted for the Biden-Harris ticket. Gotcha. So people, you know, they're saying right now that Harris was actually a part of the primary process. I find it extremely frustrating. I think it was probably very naive, but I was hopeful that this was going to turn into some sort of mini primary, like very abbreviated primary that led to an actual open

convention, you know, which would at least... I think it sucks that she is just anointed the presumptive nominee. No one knows anything about her platform. Right. I mean, you can go off of, she was weirdly screened off of a lot of things because she was unpopular in the beginning. You can go off her 2020 campaign, which was fucking weird. I mean, if you're someone who's curious what she's going to do about student loan cancellation,

how she's going to pick that up, like, I'm someone who's curious, you know? Her whole thing was, if you're a Pell Grant recipient operating a business for more than three years in a disadvantaged neighborhood, then you might receive some kind of... It's like, dude, what the fuck does this person...

I'm going to preempt to what I'm about to say with, please take this with a grain of salt. I obviously don't... Anyway, A friend of mine sent me a video of Dave Portnoy who put out a video on Twitter that I found interesting because he said he was pointing out the glaring hypocrisy in the Democrats' whole platform being, we've got to save democracy, we've got to save democracy from Donald Trump. But then they stage essentially a coup in this way that is so anti-democratic in that they are, like you said, anointing Kamala Harris without by just skipping. this otherwise entirely democratic process. Well, which is, I mean, and there is a, I mean, there's a precedent for it at this point with,

I mean, 2016, obviously people were like, this is not good, the coronation of Hillary Clinton is not, people are not going to like this. 2020, it happens again with Obama making some phone calls behind the scenes, having every major candidate drop out to coalesce around Biden to beat Bernie. Which now they're just like openly, before it was like, oh, you guys are all conspiracy theorists. Now they're just openly being like, yes, they needed Joe Biden to beat Bernie. And now, and that was the thing. Biden's whole message to businesses was nothing will fundamentally change.

And I do think there is a, I don't know, there's a, I don't, I don't, I can't know, but it is, with how long they've waited to do something like this, it has made it important. possible for anyone to actually, for any progressive candidate to actually run or try to make any dent in this thing. Which makes you go, okay, I do, for me, I was having quite an existential crisis about this last night because I'm thinking, okay, obviously I don't want Donald Trump in there. And do I trust the Democrats? No. But also, there's a part of me that's like, okay, I guess they're going to do whatever they've got to by any means necessary to prevent him getting in there, even if it does involve some shady shit. But then I'm like, why should I

accept that? And also, what can I do about it? Fuck all. Well, folks, it's official. School's out. Summer's here. Maybe you're on vacation. Maybe you're taking that long, much-needed sabbatical. But we all know that when the temps go up, so does that body odor. Am I right, fellas? I mean, you stink, usually. I cannot stop sweating. Yeah. Everywhere I go, I'm worried about it until I found out about Mando.

So I think it was maybe the same day it happened before Joe Biden dropped out. Did you see Aaron Sorkin's New York Times piece? Oh, where he said they should put Mitt Romney in there? So it's like the most liberal brain thing I've ever seen in my life. It's the, and it's almost like this was, this was the end of their project, right? To get everyone, to get liberals to feel good about voting for a Republican or something like that. So he wrote this piece. And if you don't know who Aaron Sorkin is, he wrote tons of TV shows and movies. His big one is the West Wing. And I honestly think it's like partly responsible for why a lot of liberals are so weird and stupid because they watch the West Wing, which was just dialogue heavy. No, but it was it was always the story revolved around, you know, the Democrats doing the right thing. Like there would be a problem. And then at the end, they would be like actually.

Republicans, you can't do that. It's unconstitutional. And everyone would go, like, we stopped him again. But in real life, that has never fucking happened. They go, that's unconstitutional. And they go, we don't give a shit. We're going to kill your guy and we're going to pack the court. And so he writes this whole thing about how he would, it's called how I would script this moment for Biden and the Democrats.

He says, but there's something the Democrats can do that would not just put a lump in people's throats with its appeal to stop Donald Trump at all costs unity, but with its originality and sense of sacrifice, so here's my pitch to the writer's room. The Democratic Party should pick a Republican. At their convention next month, the Democrats should nominate Mitt Romney. Does Mr. Romney support abortion rights? No. Does he want to aggressively raise the minimum wage, bolster public education, strengthen unions, expand transgender rights, and enact progressive tax reform. Probably not.

Oh, wow. I thought he was going to say yes, so take your pick. But is he a cartoon thug who did nothing but watch TV while the mob he assembled, beat, and used tasers on police officers? No, the choice is between Trump and not Trump. And that's what it's always been. They now have a guy who can go, but look how bad he is. Why don't we just take Romney? Yeah, that's what I was going to say earlier is...

I'm going fucking crazy. After watching the R&C, it was a party. I mean, they have no shame. I mean, good for them. I really got to hand it to them. They're all having a great time because they are unified. The Republicans are absolutely gung-ho, 100% behind their guy. There's very little infighting.

They've got their shit together. They've got all their cast of crazy characters. People are excited to vote for Donald Trump. Whereas we've got just like, we've got not Trump. Instead of Trump and like this guy or this woman, it's Trump and just, default, you know? And it's just before that also, before Biden stepped down, MSNBC was still shilling for him and it was really amusing because they're like, well, Donald Trump may have dodged a bullet, but Joe Biden's beating COVID. Like that's a fucking comparison. Right.

The, oh, I got a bad cough. The difference is that Donald Trump has popular support among his voters, the DNC has all the support among their party, right? So everyone has already fallen in line. It's, uh, it doesn't, it also doesn't matter because no one dares challenge her. And I think that was part of what, I think they so desperately want to avoid any kind of situation like this again, where someone comes out with progressive policies that might be anti-business or something like that or disrupt their ties to Wall Street. Or uncle business. And so, So, you know, all this reporting is coming out now about just how long they've known about this. I mean, people might have seen this.

It went viral on Twitter, but just the opening of this Wall Street Journal article shows how long they've known about this. Known about what, exactly? About Biden's inability to function. Oh, and they will, in three, four years' time, we will hear about how they all knew and had to keep it a secret. And they're going to play it off like they were doing the country, they were doing a service to the country by doing what had to be done.

And how many people were stepping in for him? So President Biden had just finished trying to persuade a group of congressional Democrats to pass a trillion-dollar infrastructure bill when Nancy Pelosi then the House Speaker took the microphone. In 30 minutes of remarks on Capitol Hill, Biden had spoken disjointedly and failed to make a concrete ask of lawmakers, according to Democrats in the room. After he left, a visibly frustrated Pelosi told the group she would articulate what Biden had been trying to say.

It was the first time I remember people pretty jarred by what they had seen, recalled Dean Phillips, who would go on to mount an unsuccessful primary challenge against the president. That was October 2021. That month was the last time Biden met with the House Democratic caucus on the Hill regarding legislation. So 2021, this guy was unable, they were just like, okay, don't have him make speeches anymore. He can't fucking do it. Yeah. And then they, for the next few years, really kept him siloed, not only from the press, but from people within his own administration. And that's, because he was so inept and old. And he said, there was a lot of talk.

He was going to be one and done. He was like, I'll beat Trump, countries rallied behind me, and then I'll pass the torch. Not necessarily to Kamala Harris, but had that been the case that would have left a lot of people with the ability to kind of build momentum, run a real campaign and run against Kamala or whoever the DNC machine wanted to put. And then ironically, they show us just how two-faced and true to form that it's between a shit sandwich or a turd burrito or whatever it is. by doing exactly what Trump would have done,

by just stubbornly staying in office and refusing to give up power. Yeah. It's really frustrated. So they've all, everyone's fallen in line. The majority of Democrats in the House, 186 out of 2112, and Senate, 41 out of 47, and all Democratic governors in the U.S. have pledged support.

As of yesterday evening, she had the support of enough delegates to clinch the nomination. And so pretty much... It's going to be commonplace. Anyone who would have, like, all of those names you've heard of Gavin Newsom, anyone who could have ran against her, has backed her. The question is who's going to be her VP? I don't know. Who do you think her running mate's going to be?

Pete Buttigieg? I think it'll be Pete Buttigieg or Gavin Newsom. It's really unclear. I would obviously like her to pick someone more progressive, like Bernie Sampo. No. That guy needs to also retire. I mean, he's got no fight left. The guy from, the governor from Minnesota, Tim, Tim Walts.

Oh, what about the astronaut guy, Arizona guy? No. No? Too much of a space case, huh? Yeah, that's one way to put it. His heads up into the cloud. I would, I mean, yeah, I think that's the best they can do, but. The Republicans are reeling.

Donald Trump trothed, so we are forced to spend time and money on fighting crooked Joe Biden. He polls badly after having a terrible debate and quits the race. Now we have to start all over again. Shouldn't the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud in that everybody around Joe, including his doctors and the fake news media, knew he was not capable of running for or being president? And then Ian Miles Chong said, Trump raises an excellent point. His campaign was forced to waste money against Biden for as long as it did, only for the Democrats to pull the rug out from under him by pulling Joe out of the race.

This, if anything, is a form of cheating. Cry more, you bitch, you stupid little bitch. Here's one thing I do think, uh, I do think Kamala has going for her. What, the coconuts thing? No. I think she's got that going for her hard. But Trump, Trump hasn't been able to seemingly, seemingly come up with a good nickname for her. And I, that to me is maybe the marker of a viable can.

a date, because he has the capability to kind of eliminate people's campaigns before they even get started. You know, the whole Ron De Sanctimonious, the Pocahontas, all of it, Sleepy Joe, Lying Hillary, Crooked Hillary. But he's tried a couple times with like smiling Kamala, laughing Kamala. That's what his thing is, smiling Kamala. The latest one I saw was cackling Kamala. That's pretty good. It's like, quit trying to make cackling Kamala happen. It's not, you know, obviously there's a lot of video footage of her laughing. Yeah. But I don't know if laughing Kamala is really going to do it. Yeah, no, it's not going to stick.

If any, cackling comma, I will say, just to piggyback off of Jules, friend of the show, Jules Turpac has said, do not underestimate the power of a TikTok edit video, like a fan camp. Because there have been a ton that I've been seeing out there of Kamala Harris with the coconut thing, with her dancing and shit. Yeah. Charlie XXX endorsed her by saying she is brat or something. She is brat. is that what they said she said yeah something yeah brat being the title of her

latest album which is essentially saying she's good it is unfortunate that you know i mean i'm sure we're going to find out more she's doing all of her also isn't it crazy how quickly it all happened i mean oh yeah i'm every time my head is spinning if i go on youtube i've already got a i've already got an ad video from her yeah it's i i will say i i saw someone else chime in with this and they took the words right out out of my mouth. If I could advise Kamala Harris, do not acknowledge or lean into the coconut thing. Just

let it happen. Because as soon as you acknowledge it and start to own it. They said you cannot advise Kamala Harris. Yeah, no, don't do it. Oh, they said I can't. Yeah. He said, if I could advise Kamala Harris and I said, I just got worded. I really hope she doesn't lean into it because then that kills the bit. And there's nothing that young people hate more

than you killing the bit. I'm the kooky coconut lady. It's like, don't. She already rejected the Mamala thing. The I mean, it felt like she did. Yeah, that's, that's points for me. Yeah, Mamaela doesn't work. When she got really cringy with her and you just see her really uncomfortable, I'm like, oh, that's good. Mamala Harris?

Mamma Harris. What if Trump leans into that one? Mama Harris. You know what I call her, Mamala. She's got great milkers. She's got big boobs. No, I don't think that's going to win it. Well.

Also, it's important, like, so much of the age shit took over after the debate, and it's, uh, it's, uh, it's, uh, it's, I think this is also a gift to the Democratic Party where there was a real groundswell mounting against Joe Biden for not just his age, but also horrific foreign policy decisions, you know, mass protests all across the country against the funding of, you know, the genocide in Gaza, all of this stuff we have no idea what her thoughts on any of this are really so one can assume that they're probably the same as the as it's the same

right so that's pretty much what the Democrats are relying on is that we don't have to re-educate an entire voter base on what her policies would be I also think it's a but I think you should but that's they probably will I think money right and I think it's important that if they're if they want to run a successful campaign that they are going to Joe Biden is not someone she should aspire to be. I mean, this was the guy when he was running for president,

said if universal, if a, if Congress passes a bill making universal health care, I'll sign it. No, he said I would veto it. Oh, if it comes to my desk, I'd veto it. I'm going to veto that shit. You do not want to be that man. Yeah. Well, I also think that

It definitely took the wind out of Trump's sales We already It's so crazy how fast I do think it's very funny timing To do it right after Yeah, we're now just like All right, yeah, he got shot in the year Big fucking deal

And before we do that, I had to play this quick clip of a young British man. and his feelings about the United States of America because I think it's pretty, I think it hits. I've been driving for five minutes now and I can't wipe this smile on my face. I'm driving a ramp truck in America. Look how sick this is. Country music on the radio.

Oh, I'm going to who is. In a ram truck in America, boys. Yeah! Grays for freedom! Oh! I salute that young man. He's going to Hoos by himself in a ram truck. By the way, the ram truck has a higher front end than an Abrams tank.

I don't know what an Abrams tank is. A fucking tank, man. Welcome back to... Standard issue American tank. Welcome back to the military... Can see more in front of it than a fucking ram truck. Any hoomst. Sound off in the comments if you know what an Abrams tank is.

you know what an Abrams tank is man come on man so let's see we're just going to rapid fire this Matt Gates look like shit look at his dumb face he so this is a before and after pictured above is Matt Gates who turned heads when he appeared at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday because of his overarched eyebrows that wasn't just it's so weird the guy on the left is such a normal looking guy sort of he's got one of those frown smiles though where he's going somehow smiling while going he looks perfectly great uh the guy in the right though looks like i don't understand looks like a chipmunk who made a wish to become human or some shit i don't know but he's just truly one of the world's worst people and uh kevin mccarthy went on to talk some shit about him

let's watch that real fast yeah well you know he looks very unhinged i mean a lot of people have concerns about him and i'm not sure if he was on something but i do hope he gets the help that he needs but more importantly i hope the young women get the justice they deserve for yeah that's right i mean you're referring to the house ethics committee investigation that is ongoing yeah with with his partner in jail because they paid underage women for sex and drugs yeah damn man wait you're buying drugs from underage women yeah surely you can find drugs from women of age or just that it's fucking anyone else like oh man i i'd be remiss if i didn't share this you know it's been a while since i've talked about the knelk guys because i forgot that they

love the knelt guys this guy is truly just the biggest that's why ben's wearing the shirt he applied for a job at knelk media yeah and i didn't get i i'm waiting to hear back but this guy's just truly the biggest piece of shit that that i swear to god if this kid ends up getting into politics i'll im in the i i was trying to say something about yeah mary kill aOC nancy pelosi or michelle Obama smash Pelosi for sure I fucking hate her political agenda but she's got a fucking great rack great rack I will say probably kill Michelle she's annoying and she has a cock gotta look this suck yeah I know this guy sucks so bad and then again hate aOC's political agenda hate all the climate change bullshit but

she looks like she kind of looks wifie you can't lie man i i just hope something bad happens to that guy i just really do like he i i hate that like the political i i get that it's like cringe to be like i would like a functioning government and think it's maybe good that we do something about stuff but i hate that the i don't know it's like base to be like fucking climate sucks that pisses me off yeah that's fake that's fake I don't think that that's real. Jesus Christ. I just,

and speaking of... I do think there's like a... I don't know, it's become weird and like... I don't want to say based again, but I don't know what it... There's something with young guys and the like comedy thing where they're like, Trump is based and...

Yeah, I... And it has nothing to do with policy. Like, there's no real... There's no real fire behind what he's going to... It's just all, like, Democrats suck, which yes, of course. Sure, but being like Trump is sick is just... Because Trump has single-handedly reduced America.

I mean, American politics were already a theatrical farce in itself, but he reduced it to like having a public argument in a high school cafeteria where it doesn't matter about the substance of what you're saying. If you can successfully go like, yeah, well, you suck. Yeah, well, you're fat and gay. then you win and everybody goes oh yeah he pointed out one of your flaws that may or may not even be real it's a good tactic yeah it is a really good tactic it works please put that i didn't get owned yeah can the record show that i did not get owned no well actually

okay so i find it amusing that these same people who were like clutching their pearls at some people rejoicing or wishing that Trump had actually died, they just turn right back around and advocate for violence. Fight! We got time.

Come on. Hey, we are in the fight for the soul of our nation. We are in a fight. Why don't we just split up already then? Why don't we just call it? The red states, you got a country, the blue states, we got a country.

So enough for, I'm just like, why not? who gives a rat fuck will still help each other financially as needed but you guys have your rules we got ours uh do your thing we'll do ours suck my dick everyone and let's just call it do not reflect the opinions of the ben and amiel show our kids and our grandkids a fight that we can never imagine i believe wholeheartedly donald trump and butler county's j d vans are the last chance to save our country politically. I'm afraid if we lose this one, it's going to take a civil war to save the country,

and it will be saved. There it is. It's going to take a civil war. And going into this, their whole thing was our message needs to be unity. So they want to make sure they're talking about unifying the country. So when Donald Trump got up there, he rambled for about 90 fucking minutes. His name was in giant lights. looked like a Broadway production, and he came out. I was on my way. I was just arriving

at a, to meet someone, and I was listening to it live on the radio, hearing this guy sing, I'm proud to be an American, and then I had to get out of my car. From the Lakes of Minnesota. To the hills of Tennessee, across the plains of Texas, from Cedar, Tennessee. I mean, I'm not going to play the whole But just his name in lights He came out, he was He rambled for like an hour and a half

One of the big things He played all the hits Of course, a lot of Bitcoin people Are Trump people That's a really easy one Why can't the Democrats just say that too? Like, hey, we also won't fuck with your Bitcoin Just boom, there, you got it

They just God damn it, I'm so fucking frustrated by the Democratic Party They are just so... But what if they do plan on having actual real regulations around the stuff that has now become a... Then just lie. Speculative asset. Lie to us, please.

And to that... Wouldn't it be cool if that actually happened? It's like changed his whole shit. He was like, you only got one life to live? You got to be nice to each other. Yeah. You know what? I changed my opinion about a lot of things.

That would be really something. That would be really nice. But, of course, it didn't happen. Did you see J.D. Vance's joke that he made? I am obsessed with this. Here's a thing. He is right. A lot of people, no matter what we say about Trump,

you cannot deny that he's got the fucking juice. And, like, watching this, it's like, oh, man, you just don't fucking have it. You don't have it, man. This is. It is the weirdest thing to me. Democrats say that it is racist to believe, well, they say it's racist to do anything.

I had a dive mountain dew yesterday I want to let that sit God play the fucking one today I'm sure they're going to call that racist too but it's good it's I love you guys

I love you guys it's like being at an open mic it's really so it's I got a hot dog the other day and I'm watching that nervous and then they just I love you guys is fucking beautiful.

Who's drinking Diet Mountain Dew? Just if you're going to go, just drink the fucking Mountain Dew, you freak. I didn't even know they make Diet Mountain Dew. You could come up with something better than, than, uh... Oh, I mean, he had all the time in the world to come up with any weird culture war thing he wanted to start up. And he was like, I'm going to talk about how they'll get you for anything. The fact that I drank, in his mind, he was like, the fact that its diet is like, oh, well, they would have made fun of me for that.

And so that's something they would say is racist. Oh, Babu. Fucking psycho. JD, you don't have the stuff, man. This is my favorite highlight from it. This is Governor Jim Justice. And every single thing that's going on in this great country today is one thing. Have you seen it?

We become totally unhinged. He enched. If Donald Trump is not elected in November. So for the audio listener, you're just going to have to suck it up. But this is a great big guy's name is Governor Jim Justice. And the payoff from this is the visual that accompanies it when the camera pans out, which is the following. Really good. Oh, God.

Look at the look on his face. My favorite thing about... It reveals a little fat bulldog sitting on a chair next to him. My favorite thing about the one thing I saw Kamala was someone asked what she would have done if she was doing the debates against Trump. Oh, because that's what he's calling for. He wants to debate her multiple times. Yeah.

Well, she had responded that, you know, because he was going behind Hillary and doing weird things. And she said, if he was doing that to me, I would just say, why are you being so weird? Stop that. And everyone was pointing out like, why doesn't everyone start talking to weird conservatives like that and being like, why are you being so weird? That's a great point. Yeah. Why don't why don't they start doing that? It's like, what did you just say?

Why would you say that? And right. Like instead of being like, you're stupid or just being like, you're being so weird. Yeah. But I find it so funny. But this is the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walts. What I know is. It's a little long.

But he talks about. about that he's from Minnesota and he talks about how like he grew up in a small town where people were you know that Trump is kind of going after and how doesn't just play it like jd vance know nothing okay wow should i play it no no play it a little faster that's not no no play it's sped up i think play it's fed up so it's okay okay but all right we're gonna do this at one point two five about small town america my town had 400 people in it 24 kids in my graduating class 12 were cousins and he gets it all wrong it's a not about hate it's not about collapsing in the golden rule there mind your own damn business. Their policies are what destroyed rural America. They've divided us.

They're in our exam rooms. They're telling us what books to read. And I think what Kamala Harris knows is bringing people together around the shared values, strong public schools, strong labor unions that create the middle class, health care that's affordable and accessible. Those are the things. Do you look what they're talking about? They went right to division. They did not give us a plan on health care. Donald Trump talked about infrastructure. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris built bridges, built roads. So I think this is going back to the bread and butter, getting away from this division. We do not like what has happened where we can't even go to Thanksgiving dinner with our uncle because you end up in some weird...

With our uncle? It makes it sound like we all got one uncle. Remind it because this is the one part I wanted to do to watch. No, I get it. We do not like what has happened where we can't even go to Thanksgiving dinner with our uncle because you end up in some weird fight that is unnecessary. And I think bringing back people together, well, it's true. These guys are just weird. And they're running for he-man women haters club or something. That's what they do. That's not what people are interested in. And there is angst because robber barons like j d vans and donald trump gutted the midwest told us we didn't do that they talk about private schools where in the heck are you going to find a private

school in a town of 400 those are public schools those are great teachers that are out there making a difference and gave us an opportunity to succeed that angst that jd bans talks about but it's that where it's just like what is your guys deal why are you so weird i feel like that should be everyone's fucking yeah just like and that's a thing like no one wants to go to thanksgiving dinner and have their fucking uncle our uncle be like what do you think about trans women in sports it's like dude what are you yeah what are you talking about uh speaking of weird there's this there was also i mean there's so many great highlights from the rnc oh man they took it out did they take it out fuck there was a woman grabbing her crotch yeah that was uh exceptionally weird there was exceptionally weird

she may have had an itch i mean i i hope uh hope she got it worked out but yeah there's a shot of Trump doing his breathing through the teeth move. God, it just, I really don't like him. And Hulk Hogan was a highlight. If you missed it, don't worry, we've got it. And my hero, and they tried to kill the next president of the United States. Enough was enough. And I said, let Trump a mania run wild, brother.

Let Trumpomania rule again. Let Trumpomania make America great again. See, they know how to have fun. You got to hand it to them. They know how to have fun. It never really, I can't quite reconcile. You know, we see all these videos online, and they get a lot of good footage. I think it's unfair.

I've talked about this before. I kind of hate it when, like, the Daily Show goes to a Trump rally, and they're like, look, these fucking, you know, they walk around all day looking for, like, The perfect sound bite. Right. And they go like, this is what Trump people are like. He obviously is getting most conservatives to vote for him. And it's funny because, you know, where I grew up in New Jersey, it was a suburb of New York.

There was like just regular liberal people and like regular conservative people. And like the moms I know who were Republicans who are now voting for this, I cannot wrap my brain around it. Just like... Really? Just... Oh, super sweet angel women. Yeah. Just like their brains are poisoned.

I'm just... I don't get how they're not like, what the fuck happened to us? When they see Hulk Hogan just ripping his... It's the lead and gasoline, man. The lead and gas and paint that they grew up with. I truly wish I could just, you know, sit down with Debbie and Maria and really just... It's, uh, it's... I do blame a lot of liberal shows like this.

daily show that that only serve to paint them as the other who is crazy and it further it does it's entertaining sure and it does make a good point or whatever that some of these people's brains are poisoned and rotted out from the inside but it only it only further isolates us by having us more liberal-minded people view them as everything that I just said of like brain rotted and broken but it just furthers a divide i'm just tired of the division i'm just really tired of it i just uh i wish someone would put acid in the water kill us all no no like like good at like like like to have a good time did you see what ryan cohen the game stop um guy tweeted he just wrote trump a thousand times i feel like these you know someone made a joke on

twitter that's very funny like leave it to all the silicon valley vc guys to to to buy at the top They all got in on the Trump campaign right at the top when they're going to have Kamala Harris who's going to be perfectly friendly to their interests. I mean, when and you don't have to seem like a fucking psycho to your wife when you tell her you're all in on Trump. Look no further than how the market reacts. I mean, when we got news that it was going to be Kamala Harris, market really didn't care either way. I just saw that the libs of TikTok account who for years rails against how it's stupid and backward-ass thinking to try to get people fired for their political views did exactly that. They got this woman fired from home depot. Dude, that has been their M.O.

I know. So, it's crazy making, man. It's always been bizarre. Their whole thing is whenever a right-wing person gets docs, they go insane, but their whole thing is posting videos of like public school teachers. and being like, you need to find this person and not just fire them, but maybe kill them. Yeah. Did you see this, there's a handy infographic

from a newspaper in Japan. Yeah. That shows the two different parties, and I find it just hilarious. The right has a church and a Windows computer. The left has Apple products and gay people and a truck versus, you know. An electric car.

Pepsi versus Starbucks, a black hip-hop. artist and a basketball player versus baseball and country. New York Times versus the Wall Street Journal. Oh, yeah. Public housing, like an apartment building versus how it's just pretty on the nose, how they see us. Shall we shift gears to the biggest outage in United States history that happened last week that still has shit happening this week?

I mean, we're pretty much at the end of the episode here. We might as well pivot to this. Sure. more funny stuff happened i guess so let's see if if you if i had to sum it up basically there's this company called crowd strike that it's it's a cybersecurity company and one of the biggest like the second biggest yeah cyber security company and it just shows how big they are by just how far reaching this outage was what had happened was they put out an update in their software and this update just whatever one line of code or something that there's some point

poor SADSAC engineer put out there. Apparently they said they didn't do enough rigorous testing on the update before putting it out. They put it out and that update did not disagree with Windows systems. Did not agree. Most of these problems, obviously, these companies are running Windows, so they just effectively shut down. So worldwide, we saw the collapse of computer systems across banks, airlines, healthcare systems. They had blue screens of death. Yeah, the blue screens of death.

And I've got actually some pretty good ones here. The Sphere in Las Vegas experienced an outage. It's got, that's pretty good. There's an MRI machine, just at a mall. It's just that classic kiosks everywhere, flights. Delta today, as of this recording, still, I think in the last five days, they've experienced more flight cancellations. Yeah, Delta's still reeling from it.

than the entire year of 2018. They're flat out fuck. I mean, it's wild. So the big three U.S. Airlines, United Delta, and American grounded flights in the early hours. By 5 p.m., 9200 flights coming into or out of the U.S. were delayed out of the 38,000 affected worldwide. 2,650 U.S. flights were canceled out of 4,200 globally. Banks, I mean, traders at J.P. Morgan, UBS, Bloomberg, other financial institutions, couldn't execute orders. Uh, one in unnamed senior trader telling the financial times that it was the biggest upset in years.

Hospitals. I like this. There was a, uh, Deutsche Bank put out, they put out a, uh, they put out a, uh, they put out a reaction to the, because crowd strikes sold off. I think it, they sold off like 13% the first day and then another 11% or maybe I have that backwards, but the stock is, uh, on sale. And they wrote their reaction and this highlight right here is great. Our initial reaction on Friday was seeing a 10% plus pullback in a high-quality stock as a buying opportunity.

However, we were ironically unable to publish our original research note due to the outage itself. That's great. We love that. We love that from Deutsche Bank. I think Lena Khan came out and said, you know, this is just another reason why consolidation and monopolization of all these industries is bad. You know, you get one bad piece of code in the entire country grinds through a fucking halt. Yeah, it's pretty scary. And most importantly, the Starbucks mobile ordering was fucked.

Most importantly. So I had to go inside Starbucks and stay in there. Oh, and you know what happened? I swear to God, I don't know what this is. This has happened to me at multiple coffee shops, multiple times, and it drives me fucking crazy. I go up and I say, I just want a dark roast drip coffee with some... I just want a dark roast, drip coffee with some...

Oat milk. Oak milk. And the guy says, okay, sure. then I pay. And instead of turning around and just getting it, that's fine. He doesn't do it. He helps the next person in line. And then he helps the next person.

And then the next person after that, who orders a drip coffee? And guess what he does? He turns right around and he gets them their drip coffee. And then the people... If you didn't have this show, you would just be writing letters to companies. No, I wouldn't write letters. I would send mail. Now.

Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, you would send mail all right. I would send mail. And then this young man turns around and gets a drip coffee. So I'm standing there, and I watched the two people who ordered drinks after me get their drinks, which were more complicated than my simple drip coffee. And I see the guy standing at the register not doing anything, and I was fuming, man, because I needed that coffee. So I just politely leaned over, and I said to someone else, I think the guy forgot my drip coffee.

I just got drip coffee. And he said, oh, yeah, sure. Anything that took care of it. You know how I'm trying to become like less confrontational on a nicer guy and all that stuff? I feel like you could maybe, there's a equilibrium somewhere where you're just like constantly fuming. So what should I say to this guy? No, you need to get it now, sir.

I just ordered it. So turn around and make it. Please pour it in the cup. No, but if he's handing out. Yeah, to other people. Be like, hey, I think you forgot me. That happened to me at a coffee shop a couple years ago in Echo Park. I order.

It was New Year's Day, in fact. New Year's Day. New Year's day. On Ben's big year. On the holiest of days. I go into this coffee shop and I order a drip coffee and there's the tip screen and I was feeling good. I was in a good mood because it was New Year's Day and he loves you too.

This guy's working New Year's Day and it gives me the option. $1, $3, $5. I tipped him $5 on like a $3 coffee. He turns around and he's like, thank you. And then he goes and he serves the next 10 fucking people, including multiple people who ordered to drip coffee at which point each time he just turned around and he got it for him and i'm standing there going how the fuck did he immediately forget my order immediately after i ordered it and after i tipped him like over a hundred percent on and that's ben's take on the crowd strike order you know how long i stood

there for a good five minutes just stewing just i can't believe it surely he sees me i'm standing right here i'm standing right here he's got to remember me as the guy who just ordered the simple thing Do I want to stop? No, I don't want to stop. Ben, we're going to have to cool Ben off before the bonus episode. No, I feel good. I feel cool as fuck. Crowdstrike.

Crowdstrike having ass. Crowdstrike having ass. Everybody, it's a pretty big company. It's like a $70 billion company. There was another big hack. There was an AT&T hack, but it happened a couple years ago, and they managed to kind of keep it under the radar. And they put out a filing discreetly.

Companies love to put out filing. on a Friday, just to bury it at the end of the week. But a few weeks ago, they put, AT&T put out a Friday filing that said that call and text data for spanning six months, six months worth of call and text data in 2022 from nearly all customers was part of a major breach and that the Snowflake cloud service. So it must have been some liberal. Yeah, some liberal cloud service called Snowflake was to blame. and there was a there's actually a hacker group called Unc 5537 and apparently they've been trying

to extort people and sell the data they came to me and said hey I got all your text messages I'd be like fine put them out there see if people believe you go ahead I don't care it is funny with everything being uh with how easy it is to just Photoshop real yeah screenshots I would just be like fake AI that's fake it's AI but I also remembered that the Snowflake CEO before stepping down. He was brought on in 2019, and then they went public in 2020. He was making $95 million a month. A month, this guy.

Jump change. I think, I think just his working at Snowflake for a few years, they gave him a billion dollars because he was that in demand. Anyway, so that's what happened. We got Kamala Harris. Joe Byron stepped down. The R&C happened. They're all reeling.

They're trying to figure. out how to how to go about giving, given Kamala Harris. What have we learned? They're good, they kink. Shout out to Rashida Talib, the one, the one Congress member I've seen who said, I'm not endorsing. I look forward to talking to her and finding out what her, yeah, what her actual positions are. And I hope she wants to, I hope she wants to move forward with, you know, fighting climate change, reeling in corporate greed, ending funding to the genocide in Gaza, all of these things. And I look forward to finding out what Trump's nickname for hers.

I think he's already, I don't think he's got anything. Cackling Kamala? That's not going to cut it, dude. It kind of works. Cackling makes you sound insane. Laughing is not worth, the alliteration with cacklin works. It's just not, like, we'll see. Dependenteremedamilshow.com.

If you want to come join us in the bonus, we love you all. He told me not to watch something. Don't watch this either. Curious what Ben thinks of this. So we're going to get my surprise reactions to a whole bunch of shit. Okay. And now I'm crushing the Diet Coke hand. We love you.

Bye. Bye.
