So what happened to Chappaquiddick?
Well, it really depends on who you talk to.
There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car
into a pond.
And left a woman behind to drown.
Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control.
Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family.

Hello the internet and welcome to this.
This episode of picking you up from school today.
I'm sorry. We're already talking about how deep I am on this.
Trisha paid us conspiracy theory.
I'm going to have to clear my schedule.
This episode of what is
trend to Cheney, the Cheney. What? No,
those are tubes.
Well, you deserve to be summarily shot for saying that.
So Alex Trebek's great work, greatest work was just responding to
to Wolf.
No, there is terrible run on Celebrity Jeopardy.
Did did they ever like is T the kind of guy where there would be like a mixtape
on the Internet of like Trebek's like most hardcore like knows?
Yeah, I think I've seen some of those where he's just like, no,
the answer we were looking for is and just like says it like it's the most
obvious shit in the world.
Yeah, yeah.
I bet there's some people out there.
There's also a good, good video of him slamming beers while doing like local,
you know how they have to do that, like, and stay tuned for Jeopardy on Cleveland
CBS, like affiliate, you know, right. And he's just like drinking the whole time. It's just a great. Stay tuned for Jeopardy on Cleveland CBS affiliate.
And he's just like drinking the whole time.
It's just a great, he's getting loose.
It's pretty fun.
Anyways, my name is Jack.
That over there is Miles.
And okay, stop bringing up that my name rhymes
with Epstein files, okay?
I just don't. Epstein files.
Epstein, my guys, it's a stretch. I'm not in. Epstein files. Epstein, my guys, it's a stretch.
I'm not in the Epstein files.
Okay.
The miles files and no files is spelled P H I L E S because we talk so much about
path files.
We see, we call them files for short.
We're just kind of cavalier with it.
You know,
does he like some shit that you would hear like on like,
like some Tim Dillon or like flagrant podcast.
Yeah. The files are all around, bro.
Yeah. I was kicking it with files last week.
I had no idea, dude. Yeah.
You know, you just think you're both guys that are into the Knicks.
More on that tomorrow. Tim Dillon really
coming through being like, yeah, you know, you, you're
become friends because you're both rich and you both like boats. Let's say you like to
have your weight boats, boats doing some heavy, some heavy lifting in that sense. Yeah. Anyways,
we do want to talk about what is trending. That is what this show where we talk about what's trending.
And one of the things that's trending is Keith Richards.
And the reason Keith Richards is trending, we couldn't tell it first.
Like the Rolling Stones are not touring.
He hasn't given any like interviews where he revealed that he snorted another family
member's ashes or anything like that.
So it seems like he is trending because Ozzy Osbourne died and people are like,
yo, you know what I just realized? Keith Richards is still alive.
Oh, yeah. That's wild.
The other like most drug addled human on the planet, I think, right?
Like after Ozzy Le leave after Ozzy.
Like it's like the difference between like what that chamber did to Dr.
Manhattan, like any normal person to get vaporized by the drugs.
But Keith Richards turned into Dr. Manhattan of drugs.
And you know what I mean? Like he actually hovers like a nano meter off the ground.
Yeah. At all times.
And he has like a sky blue penis.
That's the only part that got to one kind of freaky bit about Keith Richards.
Yeah, he has like a super power.
I don't know what are people just like Googling.
How come Keith Richards alive because all drugs that he did?
That would be how I I always Google questions
like I have been hit in the head very, very.
For some reason, I I Google like that, because in my mind,
I've been I was burned by Ask Jeeves a lot in the 90s or the late 90s
when that search engine came out where it's like, just ask it like a sentence.
And it didn't come out right. So I just, I try and leave out the unnecessary words.
How come it that Keith Richards still living at drugs? Question mark.
But like our writer, JM, uh, found this article that says who, what, why, how is Keith Richard still alive from October 28th, 2010? So that's 15 years ago.
That's I mean, for people like I feel like I kind of missed some of this, but he was
like being arrested for being on like too much heroin in the seventies. Like it was
like people were like day to day with him.
Like this guy is going to turn up dead any day now in the
seventies. And so his living through the eighties through
that, like on into he's now 81 years old, I think has
astonished some people.
And like there's still pictures of him just showing up looking
wasted every
once in a while. So he's not like, he's not like a person who like got sober in his thirties.
He's just a person who, like you said, all the drugs just like entered and like put everything
in a weird equilibrium. He, in his memoir, which apparently is a great read, I need to read that, but he attributed,
in addition to bragging that he snorted his dad's ashes, attributed his survival to wealth
because it allowed him to quote, ingest a higher quality of substance than the typical
drug user.
And he also said that he took hard drugs in moderation because he was fully convinced
that my body is my temple.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
Like he just has clear.
Clearly he has like something genetic.
Like they say, like I guess Ozzy Osbourne had some genetic thing where he could take
massive quantities of drugs and like it wouldn't affect him the way it affects other people
as much. And like, I don't know what Keith Richards has going on, but his, his read on
this I'm highly skeptical of. He's like, it's the greed involved that never really affected
me. People think once they've got this high, if they take some more, they're going to get
a little higher. There's no such thing, especially with cocaine. So he's just like philosophizing on like,
you know, I just was very moral
and was able to outthink my cocaine use.
And I'm assuming it has more to do with just like
some genetic predisposition
that people who get wildly addicted suffer from
and that he didn't necessarily suffer from.
I think it sounds like, yeah,
the thing with Richards is that he didn't necessarily suffer from. I think it sounds like, yeah, the thing with Richards is that he never,
like, I think was ever like a full on drug addict. You know, like he was caught for things and he's
like, all right, you caught me with heroin. I'll go, I'll go to, I'll go treat my addiction.
On heroin, man, I just like a little horse every now and then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's I think that's what is quote unquote superpower is probably the ability
to do drugs and not be pendant.
So therefore he'll always have the idea like that dude's fucking slamming H all the time.
It's like I slam H like once a day for like a week.
OK, and then H in moderation.
I am a functional H slammer.
Thank you.
Thank you.
If it makes you know, according to who is what we always say, I was a functional alcoholic,
uh-huh.
Functional according to I would just say that if you know, you struggle with substance use,
would not necessarily assume that you're affected in the same way
as Keith Richards. Yeah, it seems like he had his own thing going on. That was a little
different. Most people will acknowledge he is the exception. Yeah. No, you're not. You're
not getting through it like Keith. Nobody's getting through it like Keith Richards. He's
not in fact that he was just less greedy about cocaine
and that you after hearing that solution could go do cocaine again and be like,
I just tried to be less greedy about it this time.
Exactly. And like I'm buying like the higher end cocaine now.
Right. Right. Just spend more money on it.
So his answer is try again, but spend more money on it.
We're around like the best one. Yeah, exactly.
The best stuff.
Royce of cocaine. Yeah.
So another kind of secondary story coming off of the passing of Ozzy Osbourne
is that there is a conspiracy theory, of course, that Trisha Paytas
keeps giving birth to the souls of dead celebrities.
This first became a conspiracy theory when she gave birth to her first child. Malibu Barbie was
born hours after Queen Elizabeth passed away. Yes, exactly. Second baby, people were
really hungry to figure out who this baby was going to be the reincarnated
soul of.
And then Pope Francis died a mere year later.
Yeah.
So that's a stretch.
Yeah.
I'm not totally sure about that one.
Now the one the third though, Aquaman, Moses, Aquaman, Moses. She is good. If nothing,
she's good at naming these children. I have no idea who this person is, by the way.
Trisha P. Oh yeah. She's an awesome personality. YouTuber.
Like she used to do a show with Ethan Klein. It was, yeah,
got nothing. None of this ringing a bell.
Anyways, Aquaman Moses, born right before Ozzy Osborne passed away,
like right around the same time.
So people are like right around the same time.
Yeah.
So yeah, soul jumping of famous British royalty.
Don't give that baby drugs.
Right.
It might not be a good idea.
Yeah.
Even if it swears that you can handle it.
Miles, that's good advice in general, actually.
And that's something that a lot of people don't tell you.
I don't know if the kid is like, hey, I can handle my shit.
Some kids can handle their shit.
That was at our birth in class.
At our birththing class.
They're telling us, you know, about how to like breathe through it and, you know, diaper
changing and don't give most kids drugs, even if they ask for it.
Yes, some kids can handle their shit, but you'll know if that's your kid.
Jack, you want to come up for a little role playing?
OK, I'm going to play the role of a toddler who wants drugs.
And I just want to know how you'll handle daddy.
Daddy, I would like to slam some H. Can I have it?
Wait for real.
OK, I'm stumped here.
I actually don't know.
Like, he's being so nice to me.
First of all, he's calling me here. I actually don't know. Like he's being so nice to me, first of all.
He's calling me daddy.
He's asking nicely.
Like he didn't say please, but it was like implied in the tone.
May I have some H?
And he like knows the street lingo.
So it seems like he knows what he's doing.
So this is I'm a little stumped.
Now, most people would say do not give this toddler heroin.
Yeah.
False.
Some toddlers can handle their shit.
Okay.
And I want everybody to write this down.
I don't know when the video of Trump addressing the crowd and the guy holding up the Epstein
picture.
I think that was over the weekend, but I don't know. Just cross my transom.
And I deeply enjoyed it because of how angry he looks and how
get him out, get him out, get him out of here.
And like doesn't even have like a fun riff on it.
Just stands there in silence with like an angry, like bad guy in an 80s movie
look on his face as the person looks like a like a
Shakespearean thing where the guys seen the ghost of the person he did wrong
yeah and all he can do is like get him out get him out of here get him get him
out and then people like start dancing and like cheering for getting rid of the
guy holding up a picture of the president hanging out with a pedophile
And they're like, yeah
We don't like this guy someone pulls the picture out of his hands And then he just pulls another one from inside his coat came prepared. Shout out to that man
You got it. You got it. You got it. You got to keep a spare Trump Epstein poster on you
I've got a don't get caught lacking out here.
All right.
Let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back.
American history is full of wise people.
Well women said something like, you know, 99.99% of war is diarrhea and 1% is glory.
Those founding fathers were gossipy AF and they love to cut each other down.
I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, the show where you send us your
questions about American history and I find the answers, including the nuggets of
wisdom our history has to offer.
Hamilton pauses and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar.
And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption.
My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said, it would have been harder to fake it than
to do it.

In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in
an AI fueled nightmare.
Someone was posting photos.
It was just me naked.
Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts
on my body parts that looked exactly like my own.
I wanted to throw up.
I wanted to scream.
It happened in Levittown, New York.
But reporting the series took us through the darkest corners
of the internet and to the front lines of a global battle
against deep fake pornography.
This should be illegal, but what is this?
This is a story about a technology
that's moving faster than the law
and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide.
I'm Margie Murphy.
And I'm Olivia Carville.
This is Levertown, a new podcast from
iHeart Podcasts, Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope.

So what happened at Chappaquiddick?
Well, it really depends on who you talk to.
There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car
into a pond. And left a car into a pond.
And left a woman behind to drown.
There's a famous headline, I think,
in the New York Daily News.
It's, Teddy escapes, blonde drowns.
And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you.
The story really became about Ted's political future,
Ted's political hopes.
Will Ted become president?
Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death
and how the Kennedy machine took control.
And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal.
The Kennedys have lived through disgrace,
affairs, violence, you name it.
So is there a curse?
Every week, we go behind the headlines
and beyond the drama of America's royal family.

From iHeart podcasts and Rococo Punch, this is the turning river road.
I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant.
In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to ten girls and forced them into
a secret life of abuse.
Why did I think that way?
Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man and thinking to the point that if I died
for him that would be the greatest honor.
But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt.
For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became
the pry. Listen to the turning River Road on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
And around the time of the election, we were talking about how interesting it was going to be to see these edge Lord
podcasts, comedy podcasts, guys who are like, and we don't even give a fuck. We like Trump.
Like, so these people who their whole thing was like, I'll say anything. And also, I love
Donald Trump, former president of the United States. Like they were using that as like an edgelord thing, right?
Saying that they voted for Trump.
So at the time we were like,
how is that going to remain an edgelord stance
to be in favor, like trying to be like counter culture
and like, I don't give a fuck.
And also you're having to endorse everything
the president does and be like, I'm cool.
And also I think the president is neat
and this president hasn't made it easy on these boys.
I'll tell you what.
So we're getting to see the finding out
after a long round of fucking around by these people.
The comments on their videos are absolutely atrocious.
And I think this is the thing with a lot of these,
like these people who ended up becoming right-wing influencers
is like they were just chasing,
like a lot of them don't care enough
to understand what they're doing,
but they were just following like the money and the clout.
And they're like, I don't know, bro,
we're getting a lot of downloads.
If we talk about Nazis being like, what's the big deal about it?
Or platforming the most odious fucking people in politics.
So they're now fully just becoming the propaganda arm.
Like they're now talking with the White House and their fans are like,
what are you fucking doing, dude?
Like, why are you why are you having dinner with JD Vance?
Or in the case of the Full Send podcast, Nelk Boys, for example, they are now just, they're
so lost in the sauce that they're just full on doing like they're bro washing propaganda,
like they're bro washing genocide for Benjamin Netanyahu.
They had fucking Benjamin Netanyahu on their podcast.
Sen. Yeah.
OK, they are this.
Let me just play the the intro for them about to do this interview with Netanyahu,
because it's it's it's mind blowing the ignorant.
And you're like, oh, my God, guys, you are full on just stooges now.
And I'm sure you probably don't fully realize
that, but that's what's going on. This is him being like, I don't know, dude, it's like,
what's like, what's actually going on out there in the news?
I see so much stuff about, you know, what's going on in Israel and, you know, Iran and
Palestine. And to be honest, I just really don't know what is going on there. So it's
gonna be interesting to sit down with with Prime Minister Netanyahu
So I don't know so it's gonna be like
This guy has to say
What is this war criminal have to say? Yeah, I guess let's just hand him the mic
and see what's going on.
This is him now asking Netanyahu,
like what's happening with,
I mean, they're not articulate,
like they are starved,
like there is a full-on starvation campaign happening.
Straight up.
They're starving people,
and then when those people flee to,
like to come to get food, they are systematically
slaughtering those people.
Yeah.
So I mean, but I hear so much bad stuff.
Like let me just let me just hear it straight up from BB dude.
Like BB what's going on?
This is him being like, what's up with like, are they starving people in Gaza?
Why do they say Israel's like starving the people of Gaza?
Well because we're trying to get the food in and we let food trucks in and guess what
happens when we let them in.
Jack, guess what happens when the food I mean, I think we've heard Israeli propaganda enough.
What happens anytime aid comes in?
Why?
Why?
Why is it bad?
It gets funneled to the terrorists and they they do it.
They do a terrorist attack on the aid.
Do you work? Do you work for? Wow. That's exactly what he's going to say.
Hamas takes the food away.
Hamas steals the food, takes the good chunk for itself. Then they jack up the prices and
then they sell the food to its population, to its hungry population, if they give them
it all. And then use the money that they take from their own people
to recruit more killers.
So that's why you're killing this innocent civilians?
These two fucking numbskull Canadians have no fucking,
they don't have a- The health boys are Canadians?
One's Canadian, the other's American.
So anyway, you have this guy straight up
just trying to obfuscate and spin this
active genocide campaign and like, well, they steal the food and then they use
that money to make more like more killers.
Like, what are you talking about?
Like there's a factory that you're like, this is just so stupid.
But don't worry though.
They did take the opportunity to ask like some hard-hitting
questions because they aren't just gonna have one of the most despicable humans on planet
earth on their podcast and not try and fucking put this guy's fucking feet to the fire.
What's your go-to at McDonald's?
No, I'll take Burger King.
We did the, you know, the double, you know, the double.
I haven't ripped Burger King in a long time.
Burger King kinda sucks.
Yeah.
No, you're wrong. The BK Lounge can hit.
I disagree completely.
You like Burger King over McDonalds?
That's your worst take.
You fucking piece of shit.
This is like, I...
It's beyond common.
How do you do...
Like truly, I feel like The Onion
sees that video and is like, we have to close
up shop. Like what the fuck?
This is a joke. Like that is something we would do as a bit on this show.
To be like, what's your, what's your go to at McDonald's?
You know, obviously you said burger King, man.
That's actually your worst take homie. Um,
have you had the chicken fries? Have you had the chicken fries at Burger King?
They're absolutely delicious. You know what I mean? And don't say that was a bad take.
I will have you killed. I'll have you killed. Just so you know.
And your family.
Don't fucking ever say I've had a bad take in my life. Okay? I'm from Philadelphia, bro.
Yeah. This is anyway, so shout out to them. They caught so much shit, these fucking losers,
because again, they've courted such a weird
audience of like political half wits anti-semites like just the worst kinds of
people so half the people like some people were like this guy is bad other
people's like I knew you guys were in the in their pocket type of shit and
it's they have no way to win so they're like guys don't worry we're gonna have
the other side on we're not just gonna talk to Ben, we're gonna have the other side on. We're not just gonna talk to Ben and Yahoo.
We're gonna have the other side on.
You know what they had on?
Nick fucking Fuentes, the Nazi.
That, no.
Yes. That was the other side?
That was the other side along with,
they did have Hassan Piker on in Adam Friedland.
Like they went on a stream with them
and Hassan Piker was like,
yeah guys, what the fuck are you doing?
He said something, a quote along the lines of of he's like, he wasn't there to promote
a book, dude. He's there to promote a genocide on your fucking show.
And you asked him what his favorite McDonald's order was. Jesus Christ.
So yeah, anyway. And Nick Fuentes is like, guys, I can't believe you guys had him on.
He's like, this is absolutely I mean, what did you expect? What did you expect? Uh huh. Yes. So anyway, the Nazis on the opposite of
having Benjamin Netanyahu on is to have a Nazi on eight Jewish people on. Yeah. Yeah.
That's, I mean, it works. Like if the Trump administration is scripting something and they're
like, okay, well, how do we put this in the four sides? Yeah. Here if the Trump administration is scripting something and they're like, okay,
how do we put this in the four sides? Yeah, here are the two only two sides that are available to
you. Not a Palestinian person. Yeah, nope. No, no, no, no. Those don't count. No, it's Jewish
guy versus people who hates Jewish people. Yes. I think that's how the world is working in my weird and milk boy brain. Yeah, so yeah, this is where
This is the state of the brosphere shows
We do have late breaking news that the Justice Department told Donald Trump in May
That his name is among many in the F steam files
Being reported by the Wall Street Journal and it's in like 20 point font on the front
page of Drudge Report in red.
DOJ told Trump he's in Epstein files.
In May.
Oh no.
Okay, so that's interesting.
And then we got the July 6th announcement that no need to no further looks in here.
And damn, the photo they put on Drudge Report.
It looks like Trump's being told he's in the Epstein files.
Yeah, I'm the right one.
Oh, well, like he's he's getting about to form a W and is that like, well, yeah, it's like it.
It feels like like that gym.
Was it was it Jim Downey on Conan?
You know, who's and he's like, Jeff, Jeff Epstein, Jeff Epstein.
Hold on. I mean, the New York.
Finance.
Wow, buddy, buddy, buddy, buddy. Oh, no.
Okay, sir.
Whatever you say, whatever.
In May, Bondi and her deputy, this is in the Wall Street Journal, which is run by Rupert
Murdoch.
They met with Vance before doing all this reporting.
JD Vance is like, hey, pal, buddy, can you
not do this?
So this is their reporting.
We'll see what else comes out.
In May, Bondi and her deputy informed the president at a meeting in the White House
that his name was in the Epstein files, the official said.
Many other high profile figures were also named, Trump was told.
Being mentioned in the records isn't a sign of wrongdoing.
The official said it was a routine briefing that covered a number of topics and that Trump's
appearance in the document wasn't the focus. They told the president at the meeting that the files
contained what officials felt was like unverified hearsay about many people, including Trump.
I'm surprised they told him the truth.
I could tell that they had because of the way he's been acting.
That decision was made.
They're like, don't even fucking bring this up, dude.
He's going to fucking...
Because he looks worse and worse by the day.
I mean, I hope those reports aren't just full on like lib cope
where they're like, it's really affecting him.
But I mean, based on how he's behaving,
clearly he is struggling to pivot out of this one
when he's using the master of the pivot
and completely distracting people from, you know,
whatever he doesn't want them to focus on.
See, we'll see, God, wow. So, you know, wow, that'll be,
that'll make for some fun questions. Hmm. Time to send Congress home.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh my, he's like, we've already done that. Okay.
Well then blow Congress up.
I am like honestly thinking a false flag is like,
how does he get a distraction out there that is going to distract from this?
Like it's truly bad. These people are at everything. Yeah.
I'm like, then I'm like, I mean, who even does,
who even handles that kind of shit? Cash Patel. Yeah, I guess so.
Like the f*****g Tulsi Gabbard or just,
or do they do a thing where they're like, uh, just let all that let all that that shit happen in the threat assessments and we just won't do anything about it
Just let it happen and then we can write that that's that seems like the passive way that they're going about it
So well, yeah by having no like the reduced intelligence briefings that he's having would definitely indicate that not really a high priority
For many reasons, so I don't know. We'll see what it takes. Cause again,
this is such a day cause CNN earlier was like, damn dude,
look at fucking Epstein yucking it up at Donald's wedding. That's crazy.
So you're, you guys are pretty close, huh? Anyway. Hmm. Hmm. Weird.
That's fine. Yeah. He's just said he, uh, Stephen Chung, you know, his like main sort of like online propaganda.
Instant reaction guy.
Yeah, nothing more than out of context frame grabs of innocuous videos and pictures of
widely attended events.
And that's why he's in the, so the files are just like frame grabs?
Is that what the DOJ was reporting?
Out of context testimony from victims.
Oh.
Out of context testimony.
The other thing that they reported on was,
you know how you mentioned a few weeks ago
about how Trump, like, you can just call him
and he'll talk?
Yeah.
Like, you know, if you get his number
and he'll do an interview?
So, Andrew Kozinski on CNN said he actually got,
like, he called Trump and he said, quote, we were not on the phone
very long.
I think our call was about 30 seconds or so.
But when I asked him about the wedding photo, he said he sort of paused for a second and
then said, you've got to be kidding me before calling CNN fake news and then hanging up
on me.
Wow.
I love that he's still answering.
Still still got to take the, hey, sorry, I got to take this call.
It's fucking CNN.
They fucking sweat me.
They love my shit so much.
They can't guess what's up.
Yeah. So this you.
Geez.
Oh, here we go.
I got to go.
Sorry. I'm very busy.
They seem surprised by this.
Like he's surprised.
Like he seems like he couldn't believe the guy holding up the picture.
He can't believe that the CNN guy is calling him. He can't believe he's surprised, like he seems like he couldn't believe the guy holding up the picture. He can't believe that the CNN guy is calling him.
He can't believe he's like, what happened to my guys?
And in some case, my gals, my rights, they guys were supposed to be my day ones.
This is what we keep saying.
These people are so out of touch with normal people who have to toil every day, who are
handed stacks of money, who have zero, like for people who have to toil every day, who aren't handed stacks of money,
who have zero, like for people who have no existential stress
around how they survive, how they take care of their families,
that they don't understand how this Epstein thing intersects
with this sort of larger, darker idea of like the hyper wealthy
living in another reality where they can do anything while normal people
have to abide by the law.
That is something just as such a truth.
Now it's just happening to intersect with this Epstein thing, but he's not understanding
that's why people will not let this go is because it's something that feels very real.
And you're like, yes, tell, reveal the matrix to me about
how wealthy people are doing all this fucking fucked up shit because we're not at a place
where we're able to like fully articulate things around like class or yet.
Right. Like people are so hungry to like so, so kind of aware that just absolutely fucked
up shit is happening at the highest levels. We saw it with the Luigi Mangione story
and the response to that story.
We've seen it with the Epstein thing.
He was a symptom.
His rise was a symptom of that.
People were so desperate for a take down of the elite
that they grafted onto him
because he was willing to be like, yeah, fuck those people.
They were like, you are the person who's going to take them down. They created a religion around it.
And now, now he's like, yeah, but everybody loves me. So we're just going to move past.
Yeah. This one's kind of chill. I have any, I'm sorry, just quick show of hands. How many of
y'all been to the Swamp City? So nobody Well, you can't really say this one is actually very beautiful, but it's like it's both drove his rise and is
Like now like he just doesn't realize that he like can't get away from it
Like it's too much a part of like what people thought they were buying into you know
Yeah, you hate to see it and you do hate to see it because he seems like a good guy.
She's fucking Christ.
My God.
Like I just the lastly, I just do want to touch on this one video of Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana
because his motherboard got corrupted during a Fox Business hit.
You don't mean you don't mean his like computers motherboard.
Well, I'm going to mean his like computers motherboard. Well, I'm gonna call his brain his motherboard
Okay, another
Elderly person who's a senator who maybe should fucking sit the fuck down
Hmm. I'm sure Jesus loves him, but everybody else think
Everybody else like everybody else.
So I guess we had some more technical problems. That was the same night. Cause we lost with Senator Rand Paul.
Wow.
Technical problems.
We saw him stop speaking in the middle of the sentence and just like look off into the middle
distance. And then his head like started to drift off.
It looked like that scene in dirty rotten scoundrels where Steve Martin asked to
go to the bathroom at the table.
It exactly what it looks like miles. Yes.
That is exactly what it looks like. It's like, I'm,
I don't know what the windup is too, where he's like, Hey, Jesus, you know,
I don't know what the windup is to where he's like and Jesus this, you know
Apparently this is a go-to line for him killer line where it's a Jesus loves him, but everybody else thinks he's an idiot
and He couldn't get like he it was like one time too many and his brain was just like
Sure Jesus loves him but everybody else thinks everybody else.
It does. It seems like there are voices talking to him in his ear or something
like he seems like he thinks something.
I don't know.
I'll avoid.
Yeah, I have to look at another old ass white dude's tongue come out of his mouth.
I guess we lost his mic.
No, his face started like falling off.
Yeah, it had nothing.
It was everything above the mic that seemed to be malfunctioning.
That was falling apart.
Anyways, big news, big news afternoon.
