Starting point is 00:00:00 So Elon was giving his speech. Yeah, of course he's giving his speech. But I'm going, hold on a second. I mean, my head was spinning, trying to, like, it's like inauguration, Nazi salutes. This is unambiguous. I mean, you even hear his dumb little, he hits it so hard. He's hitting it like you would hit the Kwan or whatever. But we're all just like, give him the benefit of the doubt.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Okay, he's highly autistic. He probably didn't mean to do that. He probably didn't mean to hit the hardest Nazi salute you've ever seen since 1944. oh he's the smartest man on earth he's a total genius but also he makes really stupid mistakes all the time well which is it i know is he a small bean or is he the smartest guy in the world small bean yeah that's the most millennial thing that's what they're doing the like yeah he's i'm looking at town with bed ain't on tell me what's going on tell me what's going on Too bad in me

Starting point is 00:01:26 You're so close to being sold out We can taste it We can taste it. So if you're in the northeast area generally, if you're in the continental United States, buy a ticket to that. That means excluding Hawaii and Alaska. If you're in Hawaii and Alaska, do not buy a ticket.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Continental U.S. is where all breakfast is served. But if you want to buy a ticket, you live in Idaho. Get on over there. Come get one. And we're so close being about announced another date, so just stay tuned, everybody. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's going to be on the West Coast.
Starting point is 00:01:56 We also always forget to plug the Ben and Emile Show.com if you want to see some extra goose and gags go there. Boy, did you just shave right before you got here? I shave pretty much every Tuesday. Wow. Your skin looks so smooth. Thank you. Folks, he's absolutely glowing.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Check out the Trader Treehouse. Check out my substack. And now we're going to get into the episode. Oh, boy, yeah. Oh, I also check out stock twits on YouTube for our other show. We can rip. How could I forget? Yeah. We do that on Fridays. So, gang, um, Boy, oh boy, wow, what a
Starting point is 00:02:32 Boy, oh boy, wow, what a. I had the most, uh, this has been the longest, like, four days I've had in a while between the Trump coin and then the Melania coin and then, um, the inauguration and I will- Yeah, let's get into the coin stuff a little later. Oh, yeah, of course. There's a new, there's a new sheriff in town. Yeah. And he goes by the name of Donald.
Starting point is 00:02:55 They're already saying Daddy's back. Who is they? I guess some of his supporters. Daddy is back. He was inaugurated yesterday. Yesterday for us, three days for you? Yeah, three days ago for you. Would you be petty enough to have them change out the toilet seats in the official White House bathroom?
Starting point is 00:03:16 No, but you would be. Yeah, I would. Not petty. On your behalf, it would be like... We want a new one. Well, yeah. I can't get wrapped up in the PPP. business already. I just can't. I can't.
Starting point is 00:03:29 These are the questions that I have. Well, we'll get to those. What brand do they use? We'll get to the PPP people later, maybe. Okay. So let's just, um, should we explore the new White House.gov? Because that was a big thing. Well, let's talk, let's talk about this, uh, you know, this inauguration was very different, right? Number one. It's usually outside.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Mm-hmm. But it was like 16 degrees. Trump said it's too cold for me. It's too cold outside. We're bringing it inside. Uh, you know, it's, it's usually. I believe him that it was too cold for him. It just, it, it, it, it, this whole thing speaks volumes to his, uh, the way this whole election wrapped up, right. He's trying to, he's doing the whole thing to speak to ordinary folks.
Starting point is 00:04:09 He's working at McDonald's saying, I'm going to be the one to protect you from these evil Democrats and, and, and immigrants and pedophiles and all these people. Uh, and then a whole bunch of people, a whole bunch of those people who, who believed him did want to show up and come to his inauguration, but they could not. They were left out in the cold. Because it was all within the Capitol building, right? He did it in the White House, and then I think he did a second speech in the Capitol.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Right. And not only were those supporters, not there. Like, that's the thing. The inauguration is usually the speech. His speech was very different, too. It felt very like state of the union. His was, you know, it's usually this, like, vague. We did it.
Starting point is 00:04:51 We're going to, you know, we're going to represent all Americans here. And it's done in front of, they were projecting like tens of thousands, if not a hundred thousand people to come out. Instead, it was done in the White House, surrounded by, you know, his cabinet, but more importantly, all the tech, tech oligarchs who got, they're saying, much better seating than his cabinet. Yeah, they were in the front row. It was Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg Sundar Pichai Wait, who's the CEO?
Starting point is 00:05:27 Satya Nadella is the Microsoft. Sundar Pishai is Google. He was there. And Jeff Bezos and his sexy Latino wife. And of course, everybody, because everybody, we're still, at our core, we are still a very sexist country. Did you say Zuckerberg?
Starting point is 00:05:44 Yeah. Oh, yeah. He was staring at her boobs. No, did you say Zuckerberg already? Yeah, I did. Zucker, Korn. He was there. And then for some reason, actually not surprising to me, but Ian Miles Chong, the Malaysian, the Malaysian raisin, they're calling him.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Is that what they're calling him? Yeah, that's what they're calling him, the Malaysian raisin. He tweeted an AI-generated video of Jeff Bezos's wife, like, taking off her shirt and, like, flashing her boobs to everybody. And RFK's, like, going, blah, it's like this weird AI. thing, and he just captioned it, AI is wild, man. Like, dude, what kind of, what part of horny? I don't know where to put that on like the map, the graph of horniness, you know? Oh, she does, it's not boob. It's not like actual breast. It's just, uh, what is it? She's in her bra in the end. Oh, okay. Wow, AI truly is wild. The end Miles Chong.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Thanks for, thanks for your, uh, but yeah, he went full. I think he, the quote was, I was saved. I was saved by God to make America great again, which... Which is funny, because he didn't put his hand on the Bible. Well, that's because he respects it too much. As it turns out, you're not legally obligated to do that. It's not part of the rules. Especially if you respect the Bible so much, you wouldn't list one... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Put your hand on a Bible. Yeah, his... I was listening on the radio to his secondary speech, and it was... I remember, I'm paying attention the whole time, but I'm like, wait this is all one I mean obviously we know him by now it was all one big rambling
Starting point is 00:07:26 jumbled mess of just he never stops it's just and then they say you know this was bad and he was just from one topic to another about all his enemies and stuff and it just oh and then like contradictions he's the you know this peace seeking
Starting point is 00:07:44 guy but then talking about how he's going to destroy Mexico and like, yeah, just absolute crazy shit. But yeah, it's, the vibe shift is complete. I mean, just the
Starting point is 00:07:58 the difference between 2016 and 2024 of, you know, there was that kind of, at least, facade of resistance between the tech community. And now it's just a million, million dollar donations
Starting point is 00:08:15 to the inauguration, running down to Mara Lago, to meet with them and talk about the future. Because they know. They know that the entire party, my, my, I wonder and I hope that when he dies,
Starting point is 00:08:31 Trumpism will truly die with him because I don't think that any politician has the same, nobody's got what he's got. Yeah, nobody's able to. We're lucky he's so old, I will say. Very lucky.
Starting point is 00:08:44 We'll see. He seems to be hanging on. Yeah. He said, let's play this clip. He said that Elon and his computers helped him win Pennsylvania. This was bizarre. I don't know what, like...
Starting point is 00:08:56 My assumption is that he meant, oh, Elon knows so much about computers generally and helped us, like, avert the Democrats being able to use them. Vote counting. Well, let's just play. Yeah, the vote counting machines. To Pennsylvania where he spent like a month and a half campaigning for me in Pennsylvania. And he's a popular guy, and he was very effective. and he knows those computers better than anybody,
Starting point is 00:09:21 all those computers, those vote-counting computers, and we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide, so it was pretty good. All those vote-counting computers? That one I can't even get wrapped up in. I don't know. I love that he had the village people, not the actual village people,
Starting point is 00:09:41 but some guys dressed as the village people came out to perform the YMCA. They had the biker, the Indian, and I just, do they know that it's like the first original gay anthem? No, it's not. It's cool and based. You're right, it is actually based. That was cringe of me to say it wasn't based. Yeah, so, oh boy.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Right before leaving, though, Joe Biden pardoned his entire family, like everybody possible. And everybody's scratching their heads. Well, why do you do that? Well, because Donald Trump said he's going to go after all of him. He's going to like a... I don't, yeah. I don't blame him. I don't necessarily blame him.
Starting point is 00:10:25 I also don't think he's a... If Donald Trump wants to go after your family, I don't think it's going to... They're not really like respecting law and procedure here, so I don't know. Yeah. Well, so let's see. He immediately... So many things, folks. So many things.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I mean, I just can't get over. It's really hard. to stay away from the politics here. This is obviously a show. Since we started, we've been covering all these big economic things and the merging between big tech, CEOs,
Starting point is 00:11:00 all of this and the Trump administration, it's going to be hard to... Ignore. Untangle these things. It's just impossible. Yeah. I mean, I saw someone on our Reddit thread posted some...
Starting point is 00:11:15 Maybe you saw something about how you know, maybe it's time that they stop using Twitter now that Elon's done this thing. And I'm like, look, they've, every, everyone on that stage, I mean, Sundar Pichai, Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, Sam Altman. Everything. Yeah. The Logan brothers. I mean, where am I supposed to get my entertainment? But there's no way to, there's no way to like engage with the internet or social media apps or like tools.
Starting point is 00:11:46 or like tools of electronic communication without engaging with these oligarchs. I mean, I don't know what, yeah. Hey, gang, we want to take a quick break to talk about business. Mind your business. Start your business. Stand on business.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Yeah. 2025, new year, you know, you're thinking, how am I going to make this year mine? How am I going to grab it by the, horns. Well, you know, if ever there were a better time, there's no better time than right now to start a business. You've been putting it off? Why don't you go ahead and say, you know, this is that old saying. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. Second best time, today. That's why we're talking about Shopify. That's exactly right. Shopify is how you're
Starting point is 00:12:36 going to make it happen. We were those people once. We said, what the heck are we doing? We had no idea what we're doing. You know who made it easy? Shopify. Shopify. Okay. We had no idea. how to start an online store. We had no idea how to sell merch at a live show. We had no idea how to do any of these things. Shopify was there for us. Yep, makes it simple.

It made it easy for us.
Starting point is 00:13:23 We were a couple regular old nincompoops. Knew nothing. And that's the technical term. When we had problems, this guy called up Shopify, a person, a human person. Said, hey, it's me, the guy who knows nothing, the regular nincompoop. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:36 And it's me, Shopify. How can I help you, sir? Please stop cursing at me, they said, because Emil wouldn't stop cursing at them. But so, yeah, you know, It's a new year. You got to get going, folks. With Shopify, your first sale is closer than you think.

I mean, you can't avoid any of these things unless you are relegated to blue sky, which let's be honest, folks, is a joke, right? Come on. Come on. Come on. Let's get serious here. We have a blue sky account. Follow us on there. I started one, too. It's just like the vibes were off when I got there, first off. And I haven't popped back in since. But I saw, I mean, so TikTok also went away and came back. Oh, the TikTok CEO was there too. yeah um but uh some i i saw a ticot of this woman saying what is with instagram just promoting gooning content to to men she probably doesn't know about the goonicide she it's actually a big deal to a lot of my mom is probably scratching okay so what's gooning then what is gooning and he goonicide what is what is can you explain to my mom what gooning is just jacking off straight to the camera see address her gooning's just jacking off her
Starting point is 00:15:12 really long time and not necessarily coming. Yeah, there you go, mom. My mom actually, so we did a live stream in lieu of the Trump coin thing happening and my mom called me and spoke to me on the phone the next day and she goes, she goes, so I don't get it. Are your fans like, are you telling them to buy that thing? And I said, no, not at all. I'm delivering the news, we're delivering like this breaking story to them and underscoring how unprecedented it is and how crazy it is. And she goes, right, but I just, like, I was watching the chat and people are just saying, oh, pee-pip-poo and toilet guy and book guy. And it's like, are they even paying attention to what you're
Starting point is 00:15:57 saying? Do they even care? No, they don't care. They just want to hang out with Mr. Book and Mr. Pooh. Yeah, that's it. They, uh, as she's saying it, I'm just like trying so hard not to laugh. I'm like, boy, I can't begin to unpack the layers of like irony among our among our viewer and listener base to explain that, no, they're getting it and they're paying attention and they care. It's just that they're also funny and silly and stupid. Should we get to maybe the biggest, the thing that's been on all your feeds, the one that's the salute. I mean, yeah, we can jump around. This one, you guys have all seen it. Find it, Jim. while we talk about it.
Starting point is 00:16:39 You guys have all seen the... So there was this guy named Hitler, right? And in World War II, Hitler did a bunch of really naughty things. And he had this special way of addressing his fellow... Well, no, he repurposed a lot of things, the swastika. Yeah, that was an Indian name. And then he, you know, the Roman salute. But, you know, it started with...
Starting point is 00:16:58 I think it started with Mussolini and like the Romanification of fascism, fascism and bringing that whole idea back. And it became... But no one. one thinks of that as a Roman salute anymore. Nobody. You know why? If they say they do, they're fucking liar.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Yeah. Don't think of the woman salute. So Elon was giving his speech because he's getting... That's what's even more. It's just like, yeah, of course he's giving his speech. But I'm going, hold on a second. Why the fuck is he...
Starting point is 00:17:31 He's not an elected... He's not elected. Why? I mean, I know why. Because he's part of the whole fucking thing now. The one I sent you, let's use that one, because this is from a right-wing stand account that sent it to me. I'm perfectly fine with using their most generous read.
Starting point is 00:17:47 He said the fake news and their minions are trying to say that Elon must did a Nazi salute at a Capital One arena. They removed the audio of Elon saying, thank you. And he concludes by saying, my heart goes out to you. It wasn't a Nazi salute. He was saying, thank you. This is why you lost. And I just want to say thank you for making it happen.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Thank you. my heart goes out to you it is thanks to you in this one they cut out because they pay into the crowd he turns around and it seems like he's like doing it to the flag or the back of the crowd or whatever but my god
Starting point is 00:18:27 this is the most this is one of the most like two plus two equals five shit I've ever seen they anyone defending this I mean, you're, and people are posting the photos of, you know, Democrats or anyone who's, like, got a picture of them kind of looking like this. And it's oftentimes when you go back and watch the video, they kind of made some kind of thing. And they caught him with a, they caught him with a still image of this.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Yeah. That's the same thing. This is unambiguous. I mean, you even hear his dumb little. He hits it so fucking hard. He's hitting it like you would hit the Kwan or whatever. What's that dance that they do? The neney.
Starting point is 00:19:05 And I mean, here, I send another one to the, He's whipping and nay-nay and so hard. It's funny because it seems like people on the left are willing to be like, this is clearly a Nazi salute. And people on the far right are also able to be like, hell yes, this is a Nazi salute. We got him.
Starting point is 00:19:21 And here's Nick Fuentes. I don't fucking hate Nick Quintez. And then the like straight up, like that was a serious Roman. It wasn't even like a subtle, like a wave, like one of these, like a, Laura Ingraham. Number one, Laura Ingraham did that.
Starting point is 00:19:42 That was a straight up like Sig Heil like loving Hitler energy. That was like a straight up with intensity Roman salute. And then the like... I mean, what bothers me the most is I've seen a couple people do the...
Starting point is 00:20:00 This is a highly autistic individual. They're going the abelism route. If you're making fun of him, he clearly makes some kind of erratic and unusual movements and it's like please do okay fine if he had
Starting point is 00:20:15 if that was all that happened but he didn't you know spend all his time aligning himself with the the Jews will not replace this party the you know tweeting support of the far right German party AFD you know all of this bullshit
Starting point is 00:20:31 replying to white nationalists and saying like interesting just pardoned all the January 6th guys, a lot of guys who had shirts on, like Camp Auschwitz, but we're all just like, give him the benefit of the doubt, okay? He's highly autistic. He probably didn't mean to do that. He probably didn't mean to hit the hardest Nazi salute you've ever seen since 1944. Yeah. He, uh, I, there was a part of me that thought that it was an intentional troll on his part, on Elon's part, that he's just like, you know what? Fuck it. I'm in power now. I can do whatever I want. And I just, I think he definitely does get off on, on watching the media squirm.
Starting point is 00:21:05 And look, if that is the case, he's 100% successful. He's 100% successful. But it's not trolling when, like, you just brought up his, like, you know, platforming and bringing more engagement to posts by commenting on them, you know, curious when it's like the most white nationalist, racist bullshit you've ever seen. Yeah. Can we just like, you can't give him that kind of cover. that's um because but even even just no matter what it became the number one story and it totally uh eclipse Trump and everything that Trump's done every the biggest story is Elon throwing that up I mean that's a pretty big deal it is a pretty big deal yeah it is absolutely and that's the sad
Starting point is 00:21:58 part is that there are a lot of mainstream people defending. I mean, the ADL coming out and saying like, look, maybe give him some grace, okay? We got to be... It's pretty weird up there. Yeah. What the fuck? Yeah. So I really like the fact that, um, oh, he's the smartest man on earth. He's a total genius. But also, he makes really stupid mistakes all the time. Well, which is it? I know. Is he a small bean? Or is he the smartest guy in the world? Small bean? Yeah. that's the most millennial fucking thing that's what they're doing the like yeah he's just a
Starting point is 00:22:39 he's just a small beam we can't what are we supposed to do uh adel says it seems that nilung musk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm not a nazi salute but again we appreciate the people are on edge in this moment all sides should give one another a bit of grace perhaps even the benefit of the doubt and take a breath this is a new beginning being being being being i mean and just the first reply. Everyone has pointed this out. Like 19 year old shouting, 19 year old says free Palestine, anti-Semitic, must-backs, German, AFD, and anti-Semitic replacement theories, buys Twitter, so Nazis. Load at the top. Sig hails multiple times. Give them the benefit of the doubt. Yeah. This is just... And he even replied, thanks guys, with a crying face emoji.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Hey, gang. Got to take another quick break to talk about something very important. especially to some of the boys out there, the men's. Yeah, we're talking to you.

You know, if it makes me ablest to make fun of Elon Musk, then to fucking stamp it on my forehead, I'm ablest. All right? Because Elon Musk fucking sucks and I hope the funniest thing in the world happens to him. Did you see Sam Harris revealed why they're no longer friends? Yes. It's pretty good. So Sam Harris is some, I don't know, he's a podcaster guy. and he and Elon Musk used to be the best of friends
Starting point is 00:26:02 and apparently they're not anymore and Elon trashes him on Twitter all the time any chance he gets but Sam Harris wrote a thing on his I forgot what medium or whatever his blog he wrote that Elon Musk and Sam
Starting point is 00:26:21 had a bet right before COVID really hit they bet Elon was going to pay a million dollars to Sam Harris and Sam Harris was going to pay him like a, what, a really expensive bottle of tequila because they're obviously very economically on different sides. And the bet was that there would be more than 35,000 cases nationwide. And I mean, he goes into detail, but he says when it was apparent that it was going to be way more than 35,000. I think he tried to walk it back and say, like, look, I'll take 35,000 deaths or whatever like that. And Elon was like, no,
Starting point is 00:26:54 no, no, no, no, no chance. And he lost. And then, he lost. And then. he just, like, when Sam Harris was like, well, it looks like I won the bet, Elon just never talked to him again. He's the most petty man in the world. Oh, yeah. It's just, yeah. It's, yeah, I mean, here's the thing. Elon ending his friendship with Sam Harris, because Sam Harris pointed out that Elon was objectively
Starting point is 00:27:17 wrong about something is in Elon's entire personality in a nutshell. I think someone logged on to the video game he plays and saw that as his account. was active while while he was at the inauguration meaning someone else is playing for him. No fucking way. Yeah, some streamer did it. Oh, my God, dude.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Just what a pathetic... Oh, God, he bugs it. Just his awkward, stupid fucking, like, constantly chubby guy adjusting his ill-fitting clothes and just... Anyway... Yeah, we could spend all day talking about...
Starting point is 00:27:53 The good news is we did get a new Marine One helicopter. That was cool back in August. Everybody just kind of glossed over that, but we got a new one. And that was exciting. I won't even bore you with the details on that. Just know it's sick. Just know that we got a new one. Let's see. Maybe we should talk about the coins real quick, because we obviously went live after the Trump coined, which was... Well, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let's talk a little bit. Let's, before we move
Starting point is 00:28:19 on to the coin, let's cover some of the things that he did. He signed these executive orders. Well, the president has certain powers that he can, you know, he can accomplish things without Congress. There's always this kind of argument between people of what the president actually has the authority to do. Depending on who's in office, there's always this, there's this thing, I think it came about during the Obama administration, the Green Lantern theory where people were like, give him a break. He can't do everything you want him to do. But people point out that the president does actually have a great deal of power. The American prospect, which I love, a few elections ago, set out this thing called the day one agenda, which was, it's very impressive.
Starting point is 00:29:09 They compiled the list of all the things the president does actually have power to do. It's got pretty high HP. If they wanted to actually enact real change, they could. Don't listen to them when they say they can't do anything. Uh, Trump is flexing some of his power here on day one, doing all kinds of things. We left the who. We left the who. Did you, did you see the video of it?
Starting point is 00:29:31 Uh, the videos are very funny of him, of him signing the things. What's this one? Oh, it's, we're leaving the W.H.O. Sir. Oh, well, that's good. I didn't like that. What most of them? They took a very safe route. They didn't have, they don't have any bad ones up there. What is this one?
Starting point is 00:29:47 What is this one? Withdrawing from the World Health Organizations. Ooh. That's amazing. Ooh. I can live with that. I can live with that. It's so weird to watch. Yeah, we withdrew from the WHO, the Paris Climate Agreement. Just in time for the bird flu. We changed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. You would think that there'd be some international governing body that dictates that. I don't think he did that already, did he? I think he did. Anyway, changing Mount Denali to Mount McKinley, because it's named after our great president. right and Obama did that in a signaling of paying respect to the native people I didn't realize that
Starting point is 00:30:25 Obama did that I didn't know that he changed it to Denali to give a little nod to the Native Americans but now fuck them right that's how we feel you know the vibe has shifted
Starting point is 00:30:38 we're not we're not we're not doing any of that we're you know manifest destiny Mount McKinley baby we're back he parted nearly all the rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6th, close to 1,600.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Some people are worried that he's going to start some kind of, I think this seems like a little bit of hysteria to me, but I've seen people floating the idea of them starting the paramilitary groups out of these guys, which I would find very funny, because these, they're not sending their best when it comes to the capital rioters. I mean, dude, the videos of like...
Starting point is 00:31:16 Paramilitar to do what? What are you going to do with 1,500 yucos? There are a bunch of bozos. Yeah, true. The video of the guy climbing and falling, I mean, he falls far. But, yeah, I'd love to see them turn that into a little. Yeah. We closed the border.
Starting point is 00:31:38 No, no, no. We didn't close the border. Isn't that one of his executive orders? Is it like the border's closed? He declared a national emergency, which Biden did as well. that's going to free up more resources and everything. He did all kinds of things related to the cracking down on administration. He declared a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Starting point is 00:32:01 And then there was 10 executive orders. He also said he's trying to get rid of birthright citizenship. If your both parents are illegal citizens? Or if both your parents weren't born here, then you don't get to be a citizen. Yeah, exactly. Even if you were born here. He's not saying if your parents are American citizens and they have a kid. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:22 You're not. Yeah. This is all, you know, he's also trying to label, not trying to. He's labeling Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations. Yes. Which a lot of people are, you know, that's a signal of like if we want to go into Mexico and commit acts of war, we can do that without. Congressional. Congressional approval.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Important to note, all these immigration. actions are being taken while migrant crossings along the border, four-year low. He also said federal workers have to go back to the office five days a week. And when he was asked about, he was asked, okay, so does that mean that we might use military force done in Mexico? He said, I don't know. Stay tuned. Stranger things have happened. Cool. I mean, I'm all about giving the cartels the what for because fuck the Mexican cartels. I mean, they're, they're monstrous, absolute, terrible, terrible people, but my guy, I don't think it's, I don't, I am not all for sending, sending groups of Navy SEALs or something over the Mexican border. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:33 This is just, obviously, going ahead and gutting racial equality policies, dismantling all D, all policy protections. He's kind of kicking the can. the tariffs thing against Canada and Mexico. He's not, he hasn't really made a actual move there. And then he terminated all the funding for the inflation reduction act stuff.
Starting point is 00:34:00 A big part of that is the electric vehicle chargers. This is just, you know, this is bad for American car companies. You know, they invested heavily into the electric vehicles. We talk about
Starting point is 00:34:16 it all the time, how China's eating our lunch over here with the electric vehicles. I mean, I don't know what the move is here. It just seems like petty... Everything is all the oil, because he even said drilled, baby drill, shutting down the wind farms, you know, turning on the pipelines. But it's also just like anything Biden or Obama did, no matter if it aligns with him or not, he's got to roll it back. A big one was Biden's executive order. 14... 14087. This was put in place
Starting point is 00:34:52 to lower the cost of prescription drugs for Americans. He just cares about the American people, so he's got to roll that one back. Well, it's because it's gay. Yeah. Did you see... You know, I saw people like
Starting point is 00:35:04 Jake Paul tweeting out, like, if you listen to Trump's speech and you don't love him, you're against America. Yeah. Just like, what do he... This guy doesn't give a shit about Americans. Um, obviously he's, you know, signed another executive order establishing Doge, the Department of Government, government efficiency.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Uh, we'll see what happens there. There's already lawsuits against, um, Doge Vivek is on the way out because no one, no one comes for Zach Morris and Corey Matthews, uh, which he's running for governor of Ohio. Yeah. Godspeed. Wish him luck. Godspeed, Vivek. You got any more? Godspeed. All right, folks. We've got to take another quick break to talk about clothes. Clothes are important, right? We just had Christmas. Did you just get another mug or something you didn't really want? Well, you know, I don't blame you. Uh, you know, you really, what you really wanted, what you really deserve this year?

Starting point is 00:38:17 my head is spinning. There's so much, there's so many things happening. It's, it's hard to even. Nobody, nobody got, well, yeah, let's play the clip of him shouting out his own huge son, who I think is probably a spoiled little shit. Dude, just this move. Oh man, he just looks like the biggest cock sucker of all time. And then I have a very tall son. named Barron. Has anyone ever heard of him?
Starting point is 00:38:56 He's so tall, his suit jacket looks like a fucking trench coat. I feel like... We knew the youth vote. You know, we won the youth vote. vote by 36 points and he was saying dad you gotta go out and do this one of that one and we did a lot of them and he respects him all he understood him very well and he said dad you gotta go out do Joe Rogan do all these guys that we did I just think of that fucking Aidan Ross kid who can't even pronounce fascist what's a fascist what is an example of a fastest
Starting point is 00:39:37 but that's the thing it's all it's all vibes to them no any of these people Jake Paul they're not going to look at these and go like oh wow maybe he doesn't you know maybe he doesn't care about ordinary Americans why is he why is he rolling back lowering the cost of prescription drugs right it's just vibes it's it's it's the top banker saying you know I can call everyone pussy at the office now that's all they care about yeah they do not they don't care about policy. No, they don't. They really don't. It's just about being in control again and be able to go,
Starting point is 00:40:14 shut up, you're being gay. That's stupid and gay. It's all it is. So when I see Barron and I see his smug little dipshit face, I just think this is a guy who doesn't know anything about anything. He's just a, what is he, 19 or something? 18, 17? I mean, who knows?
Starting point is 00:40:32 He might, if we can take Trump at his word, he might know a little bit about the online ecosystem Oh, he knows so much And he clearly fucking He's 18 He knows so much about I mean he
Starting point is 00:40:48 Well, you just went from saying He doesn't know anything to him No, no, I mean He knows a lot about just like online And I bet he calls people The N-word on 4chan and stuff Yeah, to be fair He probably knows more than I did at 18
Starting point is 00:40:59 Yeah So And he helped his dad win the presidency I'm sure Aiden Ross and all his little fucking butt buddies made millions of dollars on Trump coin. So you want, let's talk Trump coin. Let's talk Trump coin.
Starting point is 00:41:12 So we obviously, if you want to really in-depth, we talked about it on our live. I don't want to rehash all that. But, you know, this is just gone so much crazier. I believe it was within 24 hours. Trump took a huge dip. Trump coin took a huge dip. And people are pointing out because Melania coin dropped.
Starting point is 00:41:34 And some of the money was coming out of Trump coin because people are saying, well, geez, I got to buy my Melania coin. I bought some Melania coin. But then I immediately was like, I don't want to do this. It all just makes you feel bad that this is what the economy is now. And so at that point, that was Sunday. Yes. This is all before he even takes office.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Just huge grifts. No one's ever seen anything like this. You know, we made poor Jimmy Carter sell a fucking peanut farm so he could take office. That'd be a conflict of interest. And I mean, the fact that he did it before becoming president really does shield him from any and all accountability. Because if anybody ever tries to come after him, which nobody, nobody ever will. Let's just be clear here, folks. Nobody will come after him for this.
Starting point is 00:42:24 And if you do, hope that you enjoy the piss hitting your own face because you will truly be peeing into the wind. And it'll blow right back in your face. Because he'll be able to say, well, I didn't when I was a private citizen. Anyone can do that. And yeah, there's no... To the crypto community's credit, there are a lot of people who were pissed off about this. So I follow the cryptocurrency subreddit just because I'm curious what they're talking about over there. And there was a lot of people who are saying this just, he just set us back so much.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Like, this is the reason no one believes in any of the things with utility we try to produce. this is just an awful look for crypto and that was Saturday and Sunday when they were launching these things and it's gotten so much crazier even since that it is open season for Rugpole's grifts
Starting point is 00:43:13 the Pastor Zoh Pastor Lorenzo fuck this guy he you know he prayed with Trump on the dais here let's listen to him straight from the source Lorenzo Sewell coin
Starting point is 00:43:29 I want you to be able to see politics become manifest, not just in a way where we're praying over political gatherings, but we're seeing us become the hands and the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ. Would you help me? Would you help us in this endeavor? Would you go and purchase the coin in order for us to do what we need to do in the ministry? We do transportation, housing, education. We heal medical, mental, and dental illnesses.
Starting point is 00:43:55 I need you to do me a favor and go and get that coin in order for us to account. the vision that God has called us to do in our earth. I give God glory for what he has done, but we know that King's dream can only be fulfilled if we acknowledge that people are living in a nightmare. Yeah, so it was cut off in the beginning. The crypto community was kind enough to send me Lorenzo, the cash tag Lorenzo.
Starting point is 00:44:20 So I've permanently locked my tokens into a liquidity pool so that I will never sell on the community, but rather just earn fees as our token continues to flourish. There are not enough. suck my dicks they're just this is so fucking crazy I just don't even know where to start
Starting point is 00:44:39 like just coming off stage from praying and getting out there to shill the Lorenzo coin you can see the dollar signs in his eyes yeah guys gotta go out there buy my coin there was
Starting point is 00:44:53 the Trump advisor did you see the Ryan Fornier shit? No okay so this is a Trump advisor. Maybe we can, maybe we can Google it so we can pull it up. But he basically, Ryan Fornier, F-O-U-R, here, I might have a link. I can, I can put in the chart. Well, while he's doing that, I will just say, true to the crypto community, the, the shysters out there, there was a, obviously this one was called the official Trump coin. And then you had
Starting point is 00:45:26 immediately people trying to hop on board and fool you by having the same logo, the same design scheme, the official Barron coin, and the official Elon coin, and the official Donald Trump Jr. coin. And then, of course, obviously, we got Melania, but it's just fucking insane and stupid. Everyone throws official in there, and it's like, this is the one.
Starting point is 00:45:46 So this guy partners with the TikTok official official TikTok coin, Ryan Fornier. And they say, Ryan Fornier just rugged a TikTok, TikTok coin twice for over $25 million. He owns over 50% of the coin and was dumping equity when the market cap hit near $100 million. Actions like this are why crypto has such a bad reputation.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Wait, what the fuck? And yeah, so he starts pumping it. Meanwhile, like all of these guys, it's always such a contradiction. This is a guy who was saying that he was happy that Trump was banning TikTok at first. And then he launches this by saying, I'm so happy that Trump is bringing TikTok back. I'm partnering with official TikTok coin. And so then he starts getting called out for it. You know, the rug pull.
Starting point is 00:46:33 If you click on that. And he goes, staying away from crypto. I tweeted a few times today about Trump coin and a newly created coin called TikTok. I had someone reach out earlier and they wanted to make a coin to support TikTok's comeback. That turned out to be a chaotic mess because I was scammed. And they said, bro, you rug the shit.
Starting point is 00:46:51 And he said, I'm very new to crypto. And I promise you, I didn't rug it. And he goes, buddy, we see. your wallet. It's all on chain. And he says, I literally sold it because it was going down increasingly. I don't know who wouldn't do that. So it's... What a fuck. Yeah. And it's also more lies. He's not new to crypto. It's all that the best thing is this is all online. There's a record of all this. There's going back to 2021. There's him urging people to hold their doge. Don't sell doge. It could be as big as Bitcoin. And then people looked at his wallet. And about five months
Starting point is 00:47:20 ago he was he was buying a shit coin a shit coin called money for criminals
Starting point is 00:47:27 MFC uh Jesus Christ I mean look at the look at the community notes Fornier owned
Starting point is 00:47:33 50% of TikTok he bought more to gain trust then sold all at once causing a 97% crash
Starting point is 00:47:40 you fucking moron investors face losses yet his post claims he was scammed ignoring his major role in the collapse yeah dude
Starting point is 00:47:47 when you dump all it's always there of the victims it's like one of Trump's weird student advisors or something like that. He's a piece of shit, though, to be sure.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Oh, fully. I think he's got, I think he's got domestic abuse violations, wire fraud charges. I mean, it's classic fucking Trump advisor shit. I mean, he cannot hire someone who does not have allegations. It's just like, it's just insane.
Starting point is 00:48:13 And then, so did you see what he just, go back to that tweet you just had pulled up? Scroll up just a little bit. Okay, so real fast, there was a bishop. This woman, Bishop, Marianne, Edgar, Buddy is the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. She's the first woman to hold the position. She was, did you see her little speech? Yeah, about how. She basically just said to Trump, hey, Trump, a lot of people believe in you, but a lot of people are scared. Please, show some mercy. Remember that everybody, remember everybody's humanity. She calls out immigrants and immigrant children who are, like, worried about their parents. Did you find that to be woke at all? No, but, dude, everything they do is... Look at this tweet. The woke mind virus is truly a religion.
Starting point is 00:48:56 This quote-unquote bishop belongs on MSNBC and nowhere near a church. Fuck. That's not from him. It's something Ryan Fornier retweeted. Hey, gang, we've got to take one last quick break. Now we're talking about food. You know, it's a new year. You ready to optimize your nutrition this year?

I wish it was Cuba Gooding Jr. I thought it was like, oh, is this some crypto thing? Q-U-B-A or something?
Starting point is 00:51:17 The... The... I don't think they have the full story yet, but I'm almost positive. It's a hack. They got into the... They tweeted it out from an official account that Cuba coin started. From what official account? Like, they put it on their official Twitter and then official... I think they hacked the website for, like, Cuba. Like, the way you see... The Cuban government?
Starting point is 00:51:42 Yeah. and pushed it out. And then everyone got rugged and everyone's going, holy shit, the country of Cuba just rugged everyone with a meme coin. And it doesn't end there because there's holy coin as well. Which was another, it was for the Catholic Church. But it was promoted by the Catholic Church through a hack. Wow.
Starting point is 00:52:05 How did I miss this? Was this all today? I don't know. I'm just seeing them all. Jesus, God. Very innovative. That's just what's funny about crypto is like there are arguments
Starting point is 00:52:17 to be made for its innovative capabilities The Cuban one is still confusing I think they confirmed the Holy One was a hack. So you need to tell me the official Cuban government has just launched. Cuba coin rugged it. Cuba coin 2.0 rugged it.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Justice for Cuba coin rugged it. Wow. I mean, wow. It's really incredible. And look, they're exciting news. introducing Cuba 4.0, Cuba's own crypto coin on Solana, joined the revolution in digital finance. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Unbelievable. Oh, boy. So with Trump coin... We just got rugged by an actual fucking Catholic church. Holy. And y'all was upset at me for creating a coin about a baby with cancer and rugsing it. They rugged in the name of God. And I rugged
Starting point is 00:53:04 in the name of a bald baby. Who's the real villain? Well, their account was hacked, but nice try. It's... You're joking about how it's the scam economy. The scam economy is here, baby. Jesus God. I mean, I thought NFTs were bad. I really thought that it was over with NFTs.
Starting point is 00:53:20 I didn't think that all these new coins and shit. I'm just, I'll be pissed if I don't make money on Lorenzo coin. Well, so there was an interesting theory that I saw floating around there. And bear with me, I'm going to try to explain it. So David Sacks, who was named the crypto czar by Donald Trump, he's a billionaire. He's a venture capitalist. he's he's tied one of his investments or one of the things that he's an advisor or on the board of or whatever is this this crypto investment firm one of their biggest investments is solana
Starting point is 00:53:52 curious right solana is the blockchain on which the trump coin launched and alarming the speculation is basically that Donald Trump is doing what Donald Trump has always done which is just lent his name out and licensed his thing Trump Stakes, Trump University. Trump shoes, the watch that he did, the $100,000 watch, the fucking NFTs, the trading cards. Even before the presidency, though, like always, yeah. Decades. The game, the board game, the book, you know, you name it. Golf courses, hospitals, he'll sell his name for whatever you can, if you can sell it, he'll
Starting point is 00:54:29 lend you his name. And I'm inclined to believe this, that Trump didn't really know. He just kind of trusts, yeah, David Sacks do your thing. David Sacks, I think, is the one behind it. Because meanwhile, he hasn't said a fucking word about this. I think that he probably is having a little bit of an, oh, shit, this went way too big, way too fast more than we thought. Not that he's going to get in trouble or anything.
Starting point is 00:54:53 But I was looking at some of the wallets on the chain. Some of the biggest ones have fully cashed out to the tune of $30 million dollars profit. $30 million, $36 million, $40 million, $20 million, $20 million. million. So many people who were early on that thing just made out. So the only people, because a lot of people out there are saying, oh, he rugged you guys. Donald Trump didn't rug anybody. Just to be clear, not defending him. It's like hot to her. She didn't rug you. The Paul brothers did. It's exactly right. And the Paul brothers may have rugged you with Trump too. The people, the people who were, uh, I would bet, I would bet that Aiden Ross and the,
Starting point is 00:55:35 the Paul brothers and a bunch of it. Because, Who else out there has a million dollars to throw it fucking Trump coin than someone like those guys who know that it's a pretty much a sure thing? I fucking guarantee you that that little shit cocksucker, Baron Trump, gave them the address. They gave it to all their buddies. Probably hundreds of little fuckers out there were buying this coin before. It's frustrating that I haven't really seen a backlash to this, which is very, very, very. frustrating because it is such a blatant scam, disrespect to your followers and supporters, all this shit. Also, you know, it seemed like everyone was pretty in agreement when, you know,
Starting point is 00:56:23 the Nancy Pelosi and whichever senators and Congress people were getting rich off the trades. Everyone was like, this is fucked up and like clearly an abuse of power. Where is the fucking outrage about this? Yeah, all weekend. I'm like, this hasn't even broken into political Twitter. It's still just on crypto-fin-twit Twitter. And I don't know if that's because crypto's still kind of a niche thing for a lot of people. And it's a very difficult thing to even break into, although he did make it easier.
Starting point is 00:56:57 You can buy with debit or credit cards, which is just a whole other thing. But, yeah, I don't. I'm shocked. The backlash has not been there. Where's like maybe just because I haven't, I don't watch it, but like you would think that MSNBC and NPR and all these incidents, maybe it's just because they're overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things happening that the Trump coin has already fallen down the list. The whole coin saga to me, like with Trump, Melania, Lorenzo, you know, his advisors, his advisors launching shit is a huge story to me. And I feel like it's really not getting the. The Lorenzo coin is different because that's something that if you, if you read what he says, said, that's just some fan.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Someone created it and gifted it to him. But that's exactly what Ryan Fornier said. Oh, like, these guys just gifted me the 50% of it and I just pumped it. Right. But it's not the same thing as like the Trump coin, which was explicitly. Yes, but it's all wrapped up in this ecosystem of like, what the fuck? Of course, yeah. And like everyone near this guy is just like everyone near the U.S. president just trying to
Starting point is 00:58:01 fucking rug pull you on some crypto bullshit. I mean, it's really, it's like a fractal. you know, Donald Trump from the beginning was always about just like scheming, scamming, using his name and likeness to fuck his creditors, fuck the workers that would work on his projects, you name it. He's always trying to just like pull the gears to extract whatever value he can get and fuck anyone and everyone else, including his closest business partners. And it's just like within, it's a Russian nesting doll fractal thing where it now
Starting point is 00:58:36 other people are able to utilize his name and just all of this shit. It's all crypto and it's him and it's fucking Elon and it's just the bullshit attention and greet. And the way he's merged with these, so the crypto side and then the way he's merged with these tech billionaires where he's kind of, I don't use TikTok, I haven't confirmed it, but from what I've seen from screenshots of people using it and stuff, they've already instituted some new censorship censorship guidelines
Starting point is 00:59:10 that you're you're not allowed to search for fascism or you just like don't get the results you're looking for that kind of stuff. I can't confirm that but it does look like I also on the I forget what the site's called but they like track tech bugs and stuff like that there was a GitHub. No go on. I'll try to find it and link it but they
Starting point is 00:59:33 they had reports of they had reports of people following the Trump account that were never that never followed it I went and looked at mine I was not I've never followed him and I'm not following him now so I don't know but they're saying
Starting point is 00:59:49 they also said and I guess Zuck admitted to this one but that they had fixed some stuff that it was uh it was filtering out some like capital D Democrat Democratic hashtags and stuff like that but he's
Starting point is 01:00:03 saying they fixed it. It's just all kind of... It's shady. There's a lot of new control he can have in the communication platforms. TikTok is not unband. You still can't download it from the app store.
Starting point is 01:00:22 Oh, I don't know that. It's just kind of back to the way it was originally meant to be, which speaks to how it's this really weird kind of political game of chess going on here, where at first TikTok went away. and then it's like but thanks to Donald Trump it's back and it is it's back if you never deleted it like my mom when the thing when it was just
Starting point is 01:00:43 when it was bricked yeah she deleted it and then when she saw it was back she tried to download you can't download it from the app store you still can't I've seen a lot of people commit goon aside over that the thing is yeah this trump coin thing is really um it's really it's really something and i don't again i just don't like seeing people their heart is in the right place but it's it's not correct like that brian taylor cohen is that a comedian he's this uh this comedian out there but when the trump
Starting point is 01:01:24 coin first had its big drop he proudly tweeted out like ha everybody got rugged that's that and i'm like, no, dude, that's not what's going on here. Because I checked the biggest wallets. The ones that the Trump organization controls still untouched, just as they said. Who rugged were the people who bought in the snipers, I guess, as you would call them. They're the ones who bought early. They weren't gifted. They were bought.
Starting point is 01:01:50 They actually bought them, but then probably... D-Gen guys who, like, fucking troll. What is it called? Deck scanner or whatever the fuck. Screener, yeah. Deck screener. Yeah, those guys are going to make money on shit. They're going to be early to shit, get out before it.
Starting point is 01:02:05 And the more money they make, the more well-connected. Excuse me, they become to the other assholes who are running these schemes. And they just become more and more influential and powerful in the crypto circles. And yeah, speaking of power, did you see Nancy Pelosi disclosed some new trades? Oh, good. Yeah. Because, you know, when you're 80 fucking five and your husband, Paul Pelosi, is also of full-on retirement age, and you're worth a quarter of a billion dollars,
Starting point is 01:02:33 why would you stop buying fucking options? So it looks like they went long 50 of the Google 150 strike. Basically, they're long, Google, Amazon, this TEM, which is an AI company, and VST, which is a power company. And of course, because TEM is one of the lower value ones, stocks up fucking 25% today. So just by virtue of people, following Nancy Pelosi's
Starting point is 01:03:03 trades, she already makes money on which is great. Good for her. Maybe she can use that to put some shiny stuff on her walker. You know, she got that walker now. But I just like if I was in my fucking 80s and I had
Starting point is 01:03:21 $200 million, I wouldn't be, I would just be done. It's a sickness. We talk about it all the time. It's, I, that's, that's the only way to describe it. It's the only way to explain it. It's, there's no reason for this. To be in a position where you are constantly yelled at, scream dad, people hate you, for what?
Starting point is 01:03:44 Yeah, a few extra million dollars. What is that? What are you going to spend it on? What are you going to buy? Who's it for? She actually does buy kind of sick shit, like, you know, wineries in France and St. Holmes in Tahoe. I got to give her that. Suck my dick, Nancy Pelosi.
Starting point is 01:04:02 She does seem to have good taste. That fridge full of ice cream. Yeah, and she likes the fancy stuff. I don't blame. I like an ice cream. Fuck you, stupid ass. I'll rob you. I swear to God, I will.
Starting point is 01:04:15 Kick that Walker right out from a... I hope you don't find me at the top of some slicked up marble stairs. Did you see her daughters talking about... Or maybe it was just the one daughter talking about how, like, Joe Biden should just shut up. because, you know, everyone, it's not confirmed, but everyone's like, Nancy Shanked Joe and made him step down.
Starting point is 01:04:36 And I guess Joe Biden was kind of complaining about Nancy. And her daughter was just like, this is not from my mom, but I think Jill should just shut up or something. Gill or Joe? Jill. Oh, wow. Trouble in paradise.
Starting point is 01:04:56 They're all fucking, dude, watching them all, like, come to the inauguration and fucking gladhand all the shit. You see Obama fucking yucking it up at Jimmy Carter's funeral. Yeah. Don't get it twisted. I wonder if he was just being nice and putting on airs just like, but gritting his teeth, just going, this guy's a fucking dickhead. Yeah, but then, you know what?
Starting point is 01:05:16 Still. Everyone acts like he doesn't have a fucking choice, right? Like, you see the, I posted the picture because I think it speaks volumes. There's the picture of everyone kind of fucking glad-handed at the, at the ball. and Bernie Sanders is just fucking alone he's well there's that during the speech which is right you have the choice you don't have to fucking clap for everything
Starting point is 01:05:34 you can sit there and be like you know what I'm really fucking against all this shit I think we're heading down a dark fucking path I have to be here because I'm a sitting member of Congress but I'm not gonna enjoy it yeah there you go and then there's the other picture of him at the ball everyone's fucking going around glad handing everybody
Starting point is 01:05:51 and Bernie Sanders is alone and he's just kind of like staring off into the distance You don't have to fucking rub elbows with these fucking freaks. And like, Obama, you know, you could see Trump at the funeral and say, hey, get fucked, Dick Wad. Yeah, trip him. Another one who's perfectly good. He's got his, what, $35 million mansion in Martha's Vineyard.
Starting point is 01:06:15 He's got enough money to do whatever the fuck he wants. A lot, sexy wife. If he ever is want for cash, he could fucking, I don't know, go do a speech at J.P. Morgan or something. You could just ask Pelosi for some tips. yeah as well he's got to be like well he's got to be cordial he doesn't yeah no he doesn't where and yeah it's the when they go low we go high it's like no because all that does is make you look like you're incapable of uh it's the equivalent of saying sticks and stones may break my bones and then you get punched in the face anyway and you know you guys rightfully had a very rough go of
Starting point is 01:06:54 trying to convince people that you were actually a resistance party to any of this and then they see you and it's like you, Chuck Schumer, everybody, just fucking yucking it up with the Trump man. Yeah, it's not very fun. Well, hmm.
Starting point is 01:07:11 Look, things are going to change. We're going to try to... Things are going to happen really fast, too. I imagine we'll go live more than we were because things are just going to... Yeah. By the time this comes out, this is going to feel like ancient history, I'm sure. It's like, I mean, my head was spinning, trying to, like, it's like inauguration, Nazi salutes, you know, cabinet rug pulling people.
Starting point is 01:07:40 I'm like, what the fuck is going on? Yeah. Entire tech billionaire class just falling in line. Yeah. It's a lot. It's a lot, folks. But at least Theo Vaughn is there. And Theo Vaughn was yucking it out.
Starting point is 01:07:54 and having a good time. Hey, dude, I don't know. I just want to show up. I don't even know what I'm doing here. You know, I knew a Vietnamese... He fucking plays dumb. I knew a Vietnamese guy one time named Kwan. And Kwan said, I could be president one day.
Starting point is 01:08:08 And he was tickling me while he said it. And I said, I bet you could. And fuck, this is a bad deal of an impression. He fucking plays dumb. I don't understand what the problem is. I met him. He was a nice guy. Cool, dude.
Starting point is 01:08:22 Right. Fuck. And then he acts like he doesn't. fucking understand anything. He's just like, I don't know, man. I'm just chilling at the fucking... Okay. So we got a, we got a comment on the recent live, folks. It says, I find this, it's from Sean Boy, 40. I find this very amusing. I'm, and I'm in no way questioning why you're talking about it, but my question is, why should I actually care about this? He's referring to the Trump coin. People in positions of power and in situations far more fortunate
Starting point is 01:08:49 than mine have been doing stuff like this with zero repercussions forever. This is obviously pretty blatant, and he's the president, but still, I see it, and I'm not even shocked or bothered, L.O.L. The rich take advantage of us, regular Joe, is day in and day out, always will, and I don't see why this should take up my mental bandwidth over any other case. To that, I would say, I mean, yeah, you're right. To that, I would say the scale of this is so much bigger and so fast. The speed with which others were able to extract money, it normally takes months, if not years, for such things to occur. But for this to have happened so lightning fast and so brazenly,
Starting point is 01:09:29 it just speaks to how far we've come and how mask off a lot of this is. Can you bring that comment back up? It's also, it's a very, you're right that this kind of stuff happens all the time, but your attitude is so it's kind of like how we got to how it's all so bad we get fucked over constantly why should we even care yeah Sean boy
Starting point is 01:09:58 and that's kind of the problem no one gives a shit they just go like well that's just kind of the American economy and it is funny seeing some of those red note things people keep posting like Chinese people going I don't understand why haven't you guys revolted yet
Starting point is 01:10:15 what the hell's wrong with you And it's very odd. We just kind of, the American mind, I mean, we just sit here and go, I don't know. Yeah. Well, that's just the way it goes. What can we do about it? Because there's no collective action. We're all individuals, right?
Starting point is 01:10:29 Yeah. So, you know, oh, you know, I'm sorry that happened to those individuals. It's going to be, it's hard to, I think because the biggest contingent of people that would want to do something are so brainwashed by the right into thinking that they are for them. Oh, dude, the people talking about how this entire inauguration was a fuck you to the establishment? I'm going, what a... Yeah. They're sitting right there, clap. Yeah, that is the establishment.
Starting point is 01:10:55 What are you talking about? What are you guys talking about? Sundar Pichai, Sam Altman, fucking Elon Musk. Yeah. Mark Zuckerberg. These guys, it really is... Who do they think the establishment is? I think they just think the establishment is people who said stop saying gay.
Starting point is 01:11:11 I think they think the establishment... The establishment... People who said, don't say words we don't like. Rachel Maddow, who they're simultaneously like the media is so fucking irrelevant now. Traditional media is dead. And yet they won't stop talking about it. Look how pathetic their ratings are. Okay.
Starting point is 01:11:27 Let them fucking get over it. Stop. I don't think about Rachel Maddow ever. But you do. Oh, look how pathetic CNN is. Why are you watching? You are the only ones left watching it. If right wing accounts didn't post it, I would never see a CNN.
Starting point is 01:11:41 Truly, never. God damn, dude. Because that's the whole thing. It is a joke. Like, Rogan posts a fucking episode, three-hour-long episode, it gets millions of views. You are the majority now. Right. You are the majority.
Starting point is 01:11:58 You are the mainstream media. Right. Head and shoulders above. And if you want to talk about any cable news network, Fox News Network, Fox News is the number one. Yeah. It's incredible. That's the establishment. Man.
Starting point is 01:12:10 Everything else is faltering. And every, that's the thing. like comedians act like they're like badass because they're like, nice, we can call things gay and it's like, dude, you're just like dick riding. Nothing about what you're doing is cool. You're just like blown with the wind.
Starting point is 01:12:25 Actually, what you're doing is gay. What you are doing, sir, what you Dave Chappelle are doing is gay. Yeah, Dave Chappelle, I mean, that's... Listen, America. Did you watch his SNL thing? I've watched part of it, and I just was like, oh, wow, you're gonna do the thing again
Starting point is 01:12:43 where he's like... I saw someone talking about. about it and I was like, okay, I'll go watch the five minute. 17 minutes. My goodness. It was a 17 minute monologue. Because he's now the, he loves the way his own fart smell. He's like, he knows there is something, I got to hand it to him.
Starting point is 01:12:56 Whenever he talks, it has the effect on me where I'm like, yeah, wow, he really is a wise. He's like the wise man on top of the mountain. He's seen it all. He gets it and he's espousing facts and he smokes indoors because he's just that.
Starting point is 01:13:12 He's transcendent. Yeah. But it's like, dude, shut the fuck up. It felt, it felt very, um, it felt very Elon posting. Hey, guys, let's, let's make sure this is a community of love and, and, and tweet positivity, you know, because everyone's aware. And look, I was obsessed with Dave Chappelle, like, oh, yeah. I used to watch killing them softly, like, such a great movie. I would take it on DVD to, like, on family trips because I would be, I would be like, I would be like,
Starting point is 01:13:43 I just want to watch it again. Like, I think it's so funny. I thought he was the coolest dude. Chappelle's show was so good. Yeah, and watching, what is it? His past four or five Netflix specials, just raking in fat checks to be like,
Starting point is 01:14:02 and trans people, am I right? I mean, dude, I would tune in every time and be like, hopefully he's gotten over that. Maybe he's got something to fucking say. And it would get worse and worse. Within the five, dude, I think the last one, it was like this fucking long walk of like a Jim Carrey story and the punchline is like and that's what I think about trans people are like dude fuck off yeah it's not smart and
Starting point is 01:14:24 then he just ends his thing with like Donald Trump I urge you act with love what are you talking about my guy yeah um I will say I did see the sketch um where all the black uh I didn't see any of the sketches I just watched there's a sketch where like all the black um mascots are getting fired by alec baldwin for some reason my rudolph is the real alec baldwin yes my rudolph is uh anchomima um and dave chappelle is the uh he's the allstate guy and they they have a filter on his voice so it's way lower and p davidson comes out as count chocula and he's he it's it's funny it's funny it's it's a little bit of classic dave chappelle because he's like look at his lips he's black because it's p davidson and he's he's he's he's he doesn't he
Starting point is 01:15:12 He goes, everybody, look at Pete Davidson's lips, and they all break. It's very funny. I'm sure he's still a very funny guy. I think that's why it's tragic. I think he was always like a fun guy to watch, talk about race and sensitive issues and stuff like that. And I think that's why it was, he was, he just started punching down. You're like, wait, this isn't fun. He's also got a little bit of the Cat Williams thing in that. Interesting. Very curious where this is going. Sometimes when people's careers go down the toilet, they don't look inward. They just blame. others. Like Cat Williams, this whole thing is like, oh, no, it's because I, I
Starting point is 01:15:45 his career is anywhere about the toilet. It was for a while. Dave Chappelle. Oh, sure. No, but what I'm saying is, Kat Williams is like, thinks he's a genius because he's like, oh, no, it's the pedophiles. It's the, he's like a Hollywood pedophile cabal kind of guy. And that's why, you know,
Starting point is 01:16:02 his career went off the fucking I have no idea. Dave Chappelle is adjacent to that, where it's like, because he's seen and interacted with a couple bad apples, he's like, Oh, no, I'm wise to it now. I understand. It's the Illuminati.
Starting point is 01:16:17 They do, like... Dave Chappelle thinks of the... It's along those lines. Oh, I didn't know that. I just think it's sad. Anthony Jezzelnick talks about it all the time. I don't... Anthony Juslin.
Starting point is 01:16:27 I don't watch... I don't really know any of his comedy, but I like what he says about comedians who are, like, crying, cancellation and stuff. And he basically was just saying, you know, they just don't want any pushback. They don't like it.
Starting point is 01:16:41 They're being very sensitive to the fact that anyone's calling them out. Nothing bad has happened to Dave Chappelle. No one, there's no one who would deny him a role. It's just that some people were like, hey, you kind of missed the mark on this. And he was like, no, I refuse. I'm a genius. He goes to my gym.
Starting point is 01:16:56 Dave Chappelle. No, um, Jeslnick. I saw him yesterday. Wow. And I almost, uh, I almost said something to him. You should just say that. Hey, I got one for you. You should do the, go up to him and go, hey, I got one for you.
Starting point is 01:17:07 What? I should do what? You should say his name like you just did. You should walk up to him and say Anthony Jezeln. Hey, man, I do a pretty good impression of you. People have said it's really good. Maybe you want to go in the back and fuck each other. Because this whole thing is out of the left field.
Starting point is 01:17:24 You didn't expect it. It's edgy. Yeah, you didn't expect it. Well, so we do have a little bit of cool news. I mean, we posted about it on our Instagram. So please follow us on Instagram, by the way. But there's such a bad outbreak of bird flu in Georgia. That's the cool news.
Starting point is 01:17:42 No, no, it's coming out to that, but there's such a bad outbreak of bird flu in Georgia that, yeah, highly pathogenic avian influenza confirmed in commercial poultry flock in Georgia. All poultry activities in Georgia suspended. We got to send our, we got to send RFK down there to investigate. No mask. So what's going on with these chickens? What's the problem with the chickens? So what's the problem with the chickens? On Wednesday, January 15th, the producer noticed clinical signs of aviants. influenza in their flock. Samples were collected on the morning of Thursday, January 16th, and transported to the Georgia Poultry Laboratory Network, or GPLN, for testing. A positive HPAI detection was confirmed by GPLN on Thursday afternoon. Anyway, probably not a big deal except for the fact that Georgia apparently produces 15% of all chicken
Starting point is 01:18:35 production in 22, at least, responsible for about 15% of all poultry production in the United States. So, uh, look out for them egg prices, folks. Look out for them eggs. I, I think that the California wildfires, because, you know, rent is the highest, um, thing in, uh, CPI in the, in the inflation calculation. And, um, California's inflation is, uh, perhaps the most weighted on that. And as we've seen with these wildfires, rent is going anywhere but down. Yeah. So it'll be interesting to see. Let's save that for the bonus. Let's go to, uh, because we're, we're, we're, we're way over here. The, the, yeah, yeah. That last thing. Okay, folks, we're going to join us in the bonus, Ben and Emile Show.com. We're going to be talking about all kinds of
Starting point is 01:19:22 food stuff back there. We're going to go through some old TikToks that I'd like to and some other things. Okay. See you back there. Bye.
