Yeah, good. We like that. Support people through social media. Then last one, give something. I think this one is pre-date social media, maybe.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Yeah, yeah. Also, what is this? The tapioca day definitely pre-dates social media. Everything. It pre-date social media maybe? Yeah, yeah. Also what is this? The tapioca day definitely pre-date social media. Everything, it pre-dates the calendar. That was the first day that ever was. That was before Valentine's Day. Have you guys tried tapioca? Pet fire safety.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Big tapioca's behind all that shit. Oh, I was like- They were losing out to Jell-O and they just invented tapioca day. This is such a, the pet fire safety one's so weird. It's like, take the knobs off your stove. It's like, what? For real?
Starting point is 00:05:49 Cause you have a dog? Cause they can operate them? Yeah. This is when people had chimpanzees at home though. Right, right, right. This is from when they were selling those in the back of fucking comic books. Yeah, it's the same tapioca era
Starting point is 00:06:01 and like people having chimps as pets. Right. Oh man. Well, what a day. July 15th. We're halfway through and after July, guys, August is when it all falls together. When everything falls into place. Hell yeah. Tired of these bad days.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Ever since, we've been blaming it on the days ever since 2015, but I think, you know. August 2025, we turn a corner. I think August is when it all turns around. Lambert on the boogie. My name is Jack O'Brien, AKA. Why'd I raise my kids with AI? Drove me crazy always asking me to teach them to drive. I told those boys just go and ask the AI.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Singing this will be the day that they die. That's one courtesy of Snarfula on the Discord in reference to the dad who was like, well, all right, my kids keep asking me fucking questions. Also, I got some AI to sell. Let's make those two problems work together. Have you asked the AI, son? Have you asked the AI is a new refrain in our house? And I'm bragging about that. I'm not being ashamed the way I should be.
Starting point is 00:07:13 That's terrible. That's terrifying. Yeah. Shout out Fast Company. Yeah. First of all, I can't believe Miles actually used AI in the course of just our conversation, maybe a cold open. Yeah. Yeah. But I do. People don't realize. People are conversation, maybe a cold open. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:25 But I do- People don't realize, people are like, the show's gotten better recently. It's because I'm using AI every other- It's all AI. I have it listening. I said, bro, AI, give me something to respond with quick. Please hurry. You laugh, but people will, I'm sure fans will one day, they'll put together, they'll
Starting point is 00:07:42 be like, hey, I created an episode using AI where you guys talk about whatever the hell and you're like, this is awful. Yeah Fucking nailed how incoherent I am Use this be kill that listener Let anyone know how much better this is enough. That's our Terminator? Yeah, that's the John Connor I'm going after. The highest of stakes. It's true.
Starting point is 00:08:11 I talk to people who have jobs that they don't like, and they've all like, they're experimenting with AI in quotes, but they're all just like, fuck it, let the AI do it. They've been working hard with the AI. I had a moment. This is Francesca by the way. Hi. Oh my God. Oh my God. Who is that?
Starting point is 00:08:33 I don't know. A voice who we will introduce soon. Miles didn't even introduce himself. Sorry, disembodied voice. Well, no, I was just going to say, I had a moment where I was writing a script and I was like, you know what, maybe, and I do a new summary. I was like, you know what, maybe, you know, and I do like a sort of a new summary. I'm like, you know what AI could probably do this.
Starting point is 00:08:48 And I was like, no, for Jessica push through the coffee shop. You need a chocolate chip cookie and another Americano. That's what you need. That's what you need. Yeah, right. You need to put, turn your stomach to knots with coffee and sugar burning down the rainforest. Yeah. No, it's the summary.
Starting point is 00:09:05 The summaries fucking suck. Like still trust your eyes for reading because it has no fucking idea how to give real context unless you're basically like, Hey, tell me literally like line by line, what is in this article or else it'll be so zoomed out. Yeah, that is the one. Yeah. That's a great text. Text to speech is great. That is the one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:25 That's a great text. Text to speech is great. Well, last time I was, a few times ago, we were talking about how Pocket's going away and it officially died. And one of the best things about Pocket is that it would read out articles to you. So it could be whatever, in the shower,
Starting point is 00:09:34 whatever you're doing, making food, hear your articles. Anywho. I can think of so many better uses for AI than what we're using it for. I mean, I talked about this thing yesterday. It's both like just fun things with nature, like, uh, just read me this text, but like take out all the fucking links or like the words that I don't want to hear.
Starting point is 00:09:53 But like Jack, you're asking it to do things it can't even do, man. Yeah. Yeah. Write a screenplay for me and can't even barely do that. Exactly. Write a C plus screenplay for me. Right. I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray.
Starting point is 00:10:09 It's Miles Gray, aka. I just got the BBL and now it smells real bad. Just wanted a fat ass but now I smell real bad. I see the folks walk by and quickly plug their nose This nasty smell follows me wherever I go I should have got it done by a licensed doc But at least these cheeks clap wherever I walk Okay, shout out to CCc1827 on the Discord.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Looks like a new, this is a new Discord user. I've not seen this name. Welcome to the Discord. Thank you for that. To be totally transparent. Definitely stay high on that by the way. I know you said this was Paint a Black in the Rolling Stones version.
Starting point is 00:10:58 I kind of did the Eric Burden with war version of Paint a Black. I think it's the superior version of that song. Anyway, thank you for that one. Thank you, but your taste is bad. No, thank you. But it was very, let me dump some. Thank you, but you're a cheat and you've got bad taste.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Uh-huh. Welcome to the Discord. Welcome to the Discord. Sucker. And the other, anybody else want it? No, if you do hit me up on Blue Sky and I will DM back to you. Then what you can get out of that. I really, really well done.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Welcome to the Discord. We're so thrilled to have you. Hey, Miles, speaking of thrilled to have someone, and by the way, that was a great AK. I did not know your vocal performance was going to rock that hard. You went way harder than you needed to. That's what I do, especially when I'm in an emotional crisis. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:39 The voice of an angel comes out. Pour it into the AKs. Miles, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of our favorite guests. Brilliant comedian, writer, journalist, activist. I bet they're on the edge of their seat. They have no idea who it's going to be. You know them from places like Al Jazeera, MSNBC, America Unhinged, on Zateo, and from the podcast, The Bituation Room, it's Francesca Furantini!
Starting point is 00:12:03 Oh, Francesca! I don't have an AKA, but hi. Hi. I'm so good to be back with both of you. Can I hear your Kristi Noem impression a little bit? Can you just give me a couple lines of Noem? Well, I had to put gumballs in my cheeks because I don't have cotton balls. Wait, that's part of your process.
Starting point is 00:12:24 And it was very, it was disgusting because actually cotton balls reduce the spit, but gum balls surrounded by sugar just made me salivate. Yeah. Just started rotting away at your teeth and still. Yeah. It was, I didn't, I haven't brushed my teeth since I was a high way. You're starting to talk. Shout out to a real queen who has gumballs on hand
Starting point is 00:12:48 but not cotton balls. Yep, exactly. Well, I really wanted, I really wanted like marshmallows. So I was looking around, cause like sometimes Matt, my husband will keep like, he'll squirrel away a bunch of, you know, shit he couldn't eat. And so I'm like, there might be marshmallows.
Starting point is 00:13:04 From those marshmallow tests, he was one of the kids where they were like, you can eat the marshmallow now or have two later. And he's just been like squirreling them away. He went in the other direction. He's in recovery. He ate all of the fucking marshmallows. But yes, no, the Christina, you know, you got to have fun, I guess, because everything's so awful.
Starting point is 00:13:24 But she's such a fucking parody. Yeah, I just saw, I just saw side by side pictures of her before and after the surgery. And I realized that I hadn't, I hadn't realized that that was the same person. Like I was like, Oh, I remember seeing her. I didn't like pay enough attention that I was like face with name, you know? But I was like, Oh, I remember that being a famous person in politics. I had no idea that that's who the new person was. I mean, filler filler is an addictive is a hell of a drug.
Starting point is 00:13:52 It is truly. What does it do? It just helps stretch your skin out. So, no, I, no, not at all. She, um, I think it plumps the places that are sagging. So I need that sick from sagging. I need that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:08 I do just want to out myself as also having a snack hoard. Oh. Do you have it real high where your kids can't reach? Where they can't see it, where they have no idea it exists. What's in there? What's in there? The Halloween candy is all gone, but there's Valentine's Day candy that's still in there.
Starting point is 00:14:24 There's like a half-eaten nerd rope that I'm just like for when things get dark, you know. Just get up there for a little bite of the old nerd rope. Sort of like Rapunzel's down into your mouth. You have it on a crank by the walk. I have. That'd be tight. Eating white kid's candy, one of the great joys in life. You got to get the nerds clusters.
Starting point is 00:14:49 I mean, that's the escalation of the rope. They said, what if we just broke this rope up into little nuggets? I stopped eating candy like that because I'm an adult and I just care about- Thought this was a safe space for them. No, no. I just care about. No, no. I don't understand. I guess I'm like, I've got real money now and not allowance money.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Whatever. Then I can buy other yummy things. Sure. Whatever happened to the tolerant left? Miles, this is a question I put to you. I've heard Jack, we got attacked to the middle. If this is what the freaks are offering on this side. No, it's true. Oh my God. If we're like no nerd clusters versus nerd clusters,
Starting point is 00:15:32 like the revolution will lose ultimately. I do think it's actually very indicative of broad, you know, broader sort of not woke culture, but the way we police one another. And I am policing you as well right now. They are, yeah. I do like to say we live in an age of wonders and we're not able to enjoy them. And I do include in the age of wonders, nerd clusters.
Starting point is 00:15:54 I think that's one of the great technological advances that we've... National monuments, parks, nerd clusters. Yeah, then the interstate system. Yes. Yeah, a high-speed rail. In other countries, yes. interstate system. Yes. After that. Yeah. A high speed rail. Yes. In other countries, yes. In other countries. Francesca, we're thrilled to have you here.
Starting point is 00:16:09 We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, a couple of things that we're going to be talking about. So apparently people are still talking about this Epstein guy. Will they just give it a break? No. Would you? Nobody cares about this guy. He's a loser, guys.
Starting point is 00:16:24 He's a loser guys He's a figment of the left Wacko and he'll never die He just won't die as per that tweet. He got a little Trump got a little have steam problem We're gonna just check in with where we're at over there on that side. We're gonna quit the FBI Yeah, seems seems bad, but I'm sure it'll just fade away in some way. Sadly, this isn't the worst thing facing our entire planet right now,
Starting point is 00:16:56 but for Trump, it is, I guess, at the moment. Yeah, it's bad for him. We'll talk about his getting in the way of a World Cup warm-up trophy presentation. Club World Cup final trophy presentation. Club World Cup final trophy presentation. He just didn't know what to do. We'll talk about that. We'll talk about JD Vance risking his life to go to Disneyland, all that, plenty more.
Starting point is 00:17:18 But first, Francesca, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Oh, I'll just plug right now in case people don't, don't actually make it to the end of the episode for my plugs. My search history, I was looking up how many tickets I sold on Eventbrite to my show, The Bituational Room,
Starting point is 00:17:38 live in Seattle on August 2nd. Live. It's a Saturday. Seattle, Seattle. Ijeoma Oluo is gonna be there. She's an author, she's an activist, she's amazing. And Matt Lieb is gonna be with me, of course. It's gonna be such a great show, and we're nearly half sold, but you know,
Starting point is 00:17:57 your girl's sweating over here, it's August 2nd, it's summertime, so everybody, from JessicaFiorandini.com for tickets, or you can, it's at the Rainier Art Center. I don't know, you can go to the Bituation Room and find that. We'll also be doing stand-up in Capitol Hill area, or U District area on Friday at Laughs Comedy. So come through.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Yeah, come through. Yeah, that's what I was, that's my search history. I have actually something I was actually looking at, which was, do you guys remember the BLM, the BLM sort of the expose that was done about all the money that Black Lives Matter got and then they bought a $6 million home in Studio City that was supposed to be like called a creator's congress
Starting point is 00:18:36 and kind of be like a home for like, and a hub for content creators affiliated with Black Lives Matter. And I'm not in the habit of like dirty laundry or finding out, you know, out and being like, see, every movement started to deceive you. But I kind of got up with, caught up with Malina Abdullah, who was one of the leaders of Black Lives Matter here in LA, but specifically Black Lives Matter, which she's calling now
Starting point is 00:18:58 Grassroots. And they are effectively protesting outside of this space because the person who purchased this $6 million home effectively swindled all the donors, swindled all the people who were part of it. And yeah, it's just really, really fucked how like, and it's crazy, especially even now when you've got these ICE raids, I'm learning more and more about people
Starting point is 00:19:22 who will capitalize on a movement and steal. Like, use it to set up fake GoFundMe's. And I mean, you know, there's internal shit with BLM, but also say, like, don't buy the mainstream media hype about what happened to that. Like, you know, that it wasn't all of Black Lives Matter, and it certainly wasn't all of a very important critical movement that continues today against police murder. Yeah, the American mainstream media has very little patience for anything going wrong with any movement that is critical of police or a critical white supremacy.
Starting point is 00:20:01 They're like, well, they got scammed, so we can just write them off. Exactly. It's also like, also who are you? Maybe if they did buy a $6 million home, I don't know if I would have done that, but also I don't know the inner workings, the organization, all this. But it turns out, yeah, shit was really shady and people just made off with
Starting point is 00:20:19 the money and are like, it's ours now. But follow Black Lives Matter grassroots because they're great and they're continuing to do work here especially in la Is rainier? Just name that because it's like it's just rainier like more More rain. Oh, like the mountain named after the fact that it's rainy in seattle. Yeah, is that totally? Yeah, yeah, yeah, i'm just i'm just trying to it's a rainier. Yeah
Starting point is 00:20:45 Seattle's rainy, but rainier is rainier Anyways, that's a little stand-up material for you for your show if you wanna you should open that's also I think the colonizer name for that mountain too. Oh, I'm sure yeah, it's like McKinley. It was to Denali What is something you think is underrated? Immigrants are underrated. No matter how much, let's say it again, that we don't appreciate immigrants, the work that they do, what they contribute to the economy, the way they pick our fucking food, the way they raise our children, the way they cook our food, the way they work hard and meet processing centers and facilities
Starting point is 00:21:28 and egg farms and other work that no one else would do, the way they toil and put money into our social security system and our retirement system despite never actually getting that money back. Just like whatever you- Just to be treated like absolute shit. Like the best absolute best citizens. Just like whatever you- Just to be treated like absolute shit. Like the best, absolute best citizens. Just like- Yeah. I mean, over the weekend, we found out that a man died after ICE raided this farm in Camarillo and he was trying to escape and
Starting point is 00:21:58 ended up falling 30 feet in a greenhouse and broke his neck. And he had died and he was living here for I think 20 years. He was working on a farm for 10 and you're just like, Magga, go, go fucking pick the lettuce, go fucking pick, you know, the strawberries, whatever you need to do. But it's, it is so insane that this country and Democrats are so implicated in this. How much we rely on immigrants and do not give them any appreciation, any shine. There's not even like a, I mean maybe there is, you guys would know, like a national appreciate your immigrant, like immigrants day, appreciate it. Like I know there's different like you know heritage days and all this but you're just like man you can't even like on paper thank immigrants for what they do to this, for this country and have done for this country.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Yeah, and just, you know, and not even looking at it through the lens of, is your labor valuable to us? Like the humanity of it too, like, and not, and completely burying our head in the sand as to why people would want our gravitating towards the United States because of all the destabilizing we do around the world. That gets missed and yeah,
Starting point is 00:23:06 it's just so fucking depressing. And I think the other part is that to really have an honest conversation about that requires a real honest conversation about that. This entire country is just, the whole thing is like, whose labor can we exploit to a degree that is so offensive to the people that live here that maybe they can ignore how we use that labor to make our enrich ourselves?
Starting point is 00:23:31 Yep. Just real quick, dumb joke. I will say I bury my head in the sand because of a kink. It's buried in the head in the sand. Oh, that's how you can come. That's the way I like to fuck. Terrible sinus infections from all the sand in his nose. That's way too many Americans, sadly.
Starting point is 00:23:52 I mean, I think the last thing really quickly is just like immigrants also do like hustler. It's like the hustler economy in real life where like when you want a coffee or some food or you like they will be there to feed you and get you that cup of coffee in a place that you're like, thank fuck outside of a concert or like, you know, on a, on a outside of a subway platform or wherever, you know, you need to grab like a halal lunch for $8 and like, you know, I'm just saying like it's, they also, they're so entrepreneurial for a country that loves entrepreneurs, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:29 They're the most American. Just all the American values that we claim to embody and respect, they embody to a cartoonish degree. The people who are making the rules, they're fucking them over, who are like, well, in America, we don't believe in handouts are just sitting there collecting handouts either from like wealth that they've inherited wealth that they made through a stroke of luck or just
Starting point is 00:24:54 a PPP loans. Yeah. What's your tax break? Yeah. And just it's all handouts, like 90% fucking handouts. It's so wild how they can still say that shit with a straight face. Yeah. Americans become immune to the propaganda because a regime always
Starting point is 00:25:10 needs to scapegoat people always, always, always, because it, you know, covers the sins of the state. So, yeah. Somebody wrote on Twitter, I need to find who it is so I can sort, uh, I'll give the correct attribution at the end of the show, but that there's somebody on, I think it's Love Island, who keeps saying the phrase escape goat and thinks that it means like a thing that allows you to escape on. So they've just taken the word scapegoat, like changed the wording and then created an entirely new fictional mythological entity
Starting point is 00:25:47 on which you can ride to safety. I love that. And I kind of love it. It's like I heard someone for a long time would say, being that it's May. I mean, my favorite is not my favorite because it's not that fun, but just the one that you see all over the places for all intensive purposes. Yeah. Instead of for all intents and purposes.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Oh, yes. For all intents and purposes. Yeah. I think I did that for a little bit. I did that for a moment of that. Look, we all did and that's why it's so painful. What is something you think is overrated? Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:20 The other day I had a free morning. I made myself have a free morning because I was like tired of the kid because she wouldn't go to sleep the night before for like fucking two hours just to punish me because I put her down and she doesn't like when mom puts her down because she loves mom too much and she does whatever the point is. Oh, is that a rationalization? The next day I was like, I'm going out. So I like I was like I did yoga.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Then I got my nails done. Then I went to like lunch with a friend. I went into a vintage clothing shop and bought something. Okay, life enjoyer. And I was like, wait a minute, this is so expensive. Like, it was, I did enjoy it, but I was also like, I just shelled out so much money in my morning and when I would have otherwise just gone to a playground
Starting point is 00:27:07 and made some breakfast for myself. And playgrounds are free. I mean, you do have to have a kid to get into one. So that's like the problem. So my team is overrated. Not if you wear a spinny hat and got a big lollipop. They will not ask questions. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:27:24 No, that's my thing. It's overrated to not be strapped with children and missing your one single life because it's more expensive and you're like, what do I do? And everyone's just trying to market to you being fucking into brunch and vintage furniture and shit. Well, the thing to do is treat yourself. Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Just treat yourself. Treat, buy. By that we mean spend so much fucking money. Buy thoughtlessly, please. And then dig yourself deeper into a consumer pit in which you will need to toil more for, to buy the thing. I just love, yeah, it's now I'm just in the era of like, where's a place where you can get a membership or like a thing where you buy one day
Starting point is 00:28:06 And then it like works for the rest like the LA Zoo now I went in there and they're like you want to extend this you know your ticket can be a year I'm said fuck. Yes, the guy shot. I let you sleep here, man. We just need we know the LA Zoo is so worthwhile It's sick. It's like a sick-ass party at a rich person's house where there's beer and zebras. Except when it's so hot where there's beer and zebras, it's like a white party without, but like the giraffes are using the lube because I've seen them. Here we go, lubey lube. You've seen the giraffes fucking?
Starting point is 00:28:40 That was a misphyrtial reference for the homie. Yes, yes. I've seen them fucking. Oh, they were, oh, like, oh, I haven't seen them. And then I'm with Matt and Matt's like, yo. Yo. We're trying not to draw attention to it. There's children around.
Starting point is 00:28:54 There are children. You stop. It's so embarrassing. Like if you're fucking 14, okay. But having your husband kind of look around for an audience and be like, yo, it's the most soul crushing experience as a wife. And shut the fuck up. Looking for some, yeah, he finds some other wayward husband
Starting point is 00:29:16 who's also like, they catch, yo, yo, yo. Yo, just husband's point again. Yo, you're fired, and just say, yo. Yo, you're firing that. They got kids out here. They got kids out here. We all see the massive, like, gray dong and like, ugh. I mean, that was going to be my next question, so I appreciate you just not making me ask it. For the record.
Starting point is 00:29:38 For the record? It's a big gray dong? But for the record, the rhinoceros has a much bigger one. Oh. Bigger than a giraffe. Okay. He's getting real quiet. Far off the look in my eye.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Let me get that. Uh-oh. That annual pass. Hey, Mark, that guy with the bucket of sand is here again. I don't even get why that's gross. Because he said you had to bury your head in the sand. I know, right? Hey. Come on, it's a fucking deep callback, y to bury your head in the sand. Hey.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Come on. It's a fucking deep callback. Y'all. It's a fucking callback. Deep. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:30:23 And we're back. And that report from Love Island was from Brooks Otterlake on Twitter. I underscore zzzzzzz. I have learned there's a person on the current season of Love Island who keeps using the term escape goat to refer to a kind of exit strategy like a goat that you hop on and ride out of a difficult situation. Not sure why everyone isn't talking about this. They are now. Here's a clip of it. What is it? Using her as a fucking escape go so that he can fucking
Starting point is 00:30:57 using her as a fucking escape essentially. Oh, that kind of works though. She almost nailed the context using her as an escape. But she's taking it literally as an escape. I mean, I think it tracks. Yeah. If he is blaming something on her, it works. If he is trying to use her as a lead blocker to like get out of something. A Mike All-Stars tool a war done, if you will.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Anyways, I'll tell you somebody who could use an escape goat right now to ride out of a given situation as Donald Trump with his goddamn upstream thing on. Freaking Jeffscape goat, if you ask me. But yeah, they are very pissed about the, MAGA is very, still very angry about the lack of transparency over their favorite conspiracy theory that liberals drink child blood to get their Obama boners. Um, and that's again, it's like one of the main fucking tenants of the MAGA belief system, okay, that the liberals are demonized because they are sexual predators and traffickers and the Republicans are deified because they are the ones trying to stop them. And it's a very black and white issue for them. There's no fucking nuance
Starting point is 00:32:10 here. He needed somebody who like in his administration, who is like his like lower consultant, who is just like, sir, the reason they love you, like, right, we've read all the Q posts, here's what's actually going on. This is what they actually love about you. Well, that was supposed to be Bongino and Cash Patel. Right. But that's the problem with hiring conspiracy theorists themselves to be part of the deep state is when you find the obvious shit, which is that Trump and Epstein were friends for
Starting point is 00:32:40 10 fucking years. Don't get me started, but there's so much evidence and you know where I stand, Trump killed Epstein, allegedly in my hands. With his bare hands. You think that minute, he's going in there. But it's like, you cannot hire conspiracy theorists. You need actual deep state people for a reason who are like, hey, we got to keep some shit hush hush. You can't be like, I'm going to tell everybody who are you? I'm head of the CIA.
Starting point is 00:33:09 That's not how you like, you can't have people who are the head of a very secretive organization be people who love to run their mouths about some shit that they think or they heard or they saw. Right. This is period. So on, on morning Joe, they put together like, uh, like just a light mix tape of how this conspiracy theory has been reinforced over and over by people like damn Bon Gino and cash Patel who are running the fucking FBI. But this is how they were sounding before they got into office.
Starting point is 00:33:40 And again, this is what the normal sort of, this was like the rhetoric around Epstein that they were propping up all the time. That Jeffrey Epstein story is a big deal. Please do not let that story go. Who has Jeffrey Epstein's black book? Black book is Glenn Beck talking to Kash Patel. But who? And those quick. That is that.
Starting point is 00:34:00 I mean, that's under direct control of the director of the FBI. Oh, my man, that's going to be you. So but you OK. OK. So just just so you know, you said that you said that. OK, go on, go on. What the hell are the House Republicans doing? This is cash. They have the majority. You can't get the list.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are. Would you declassify the Epstein files? Yeah, yeah, I would. All right. I guess I would. I think that less so because you know, you don't know. It, you don't want to affect people's lives if it's phony stuff in there. Cause it's a lot of phones.
Starting point is 00:34:35 He was already, he knew last June when they asked him, you know, you don't want to get all caught up in that stuff in there that might not actually be true about certain people. So now there's like in Axios, they were speaking to some people in the White House and there's like three sort of lines of thinking in terms of how they can pivot out of this to kind of keep the base intact because it's clearly they're there again, I don't think these people will not vote for Trump, but they clearly wanna make manage their expectations just so they have something that feels like,
Starting point is 00:35:07 you know, like a somewhat unified base. So these are the three options that are floating around according to sources within the White House. One, appoint a special counsel or investigative team to review the Epstein case top to bottom and produce a report. Yeah, that'll be truthful and accurate. Number two, remove redactions to already released documents
Starting point is 00:35:26 related to the late sex offender, perhaps at the direction of the special counsel or investigative team, or the third, petition courts that have sealed Epstein-related records to unseal them in cases in which the administration can't. So again, the thing right now, the order from the White House is just ignore reality, as was basically implied in Trump's truth social post. But there are many people in his orbit that are apparently trying to get him to sort of wake up to the fact that like they got to do something.
Starting point is 00:35:57 They can't like this is part of the MAGA lore. the lore, like you cannot just kick this like load bearing belief out from under people and then expect them to not just be even more curious. Again, whether or not that affects the support that that's a huge question mark. But as it stands right now, they want I think they really wanted their like, say Drake, I hear you like I'm young moment of like do on the Clintons and they don't have that. So now, you know, who is this man? Is what they're all thinking. Just big smile down the middle of the camera,
Starting point is 00:36:29 down the barrel of the camera. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I have a lot of thoughts. I have many of thoughts, but briefly it's important. I know it's just important to know that Epstein was, it's so funny that they're thinking of these three strategies because number one, the lists of Epstein's contacts
Starting point is 00:36:51 is black book, whether or not they that was a client list or just his contact list, that Gawker published that like in 2015, they published it without people's actual phone numbers. But like, Naomi Campbell was on it, for instance. Donald Trump was definitely on it. Obviously, we know Bill, Bill, well, now he's dead anyway. Gates was on it, which was, if you remember when Bill Gates was asked about Epstein, he was like, well, he's dead now. And it was the creepiest answer. Of course, so many people, whether they're Democrat or Donald Trump, are implicated by Jeffrey Epstein ties. I mean, wasn't like Chomsky even like associated with Epstein? Like everyone's gonna have someone, their beloved, who is connected to Epstein.
Starting point is 00:37:35 And the reality is, is that Trump's FBI in 2019 was the one to arrest, that is when Epstein was arrested, Trump's FBI was the one to raid Epstein's Manhattan apartment and take hard drives from his safe. That is according to Michael Wolf, who interviewed Epstein, who followed the story for a long, long time and a month before the election, released these tapes where he talked to Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was actually the source for so much of his reporting about the Trump administration because Epstein and Trump were still homies. But then when Epstein was actually arrested in 2019, not due to Trump, Trump did not want that motherfucker arrested.
Starting point is 00:38:12 That was the last thing he wanted. But because Attorney General Bondi was no longer at the head of the Florida AG and all the reporters in Miami Herald were doing their amazing work in terms of what Epstein was actually doing, new AG, I forgot who the new AG in Florida was, but it basically led to his arrest on sex trafficking charges. And that's when Trump was fucked. And so his FBI in 2019 acted accordingly. The real question is, you got to get Cash Patel against who was the FBI director in
Starting point is 00:38:40 2019? I don't even know. Was it Chris Ray? Was it Gina Haspel or was that CIA? No, that's CIA. I think it was Christopher Ray, probably. I think't even know. But that's, that is what was that. Was it, was it Gina Haspel or was that CIA? No, that's CIA. I think it was Christopher Wray. Yeah. I think it was Chris Wray. Oh, Chris Wray, who Trump was really not happy with at that time. Yeah. Or thereafter. Yeah. But anyway, all to say, like, it's so silly that this is not just a right-wing conspiracy. I'm a crazed left-winger.
Starting point is 00:39:02 And like, oh yeah, I think just as many people, you're like, okay, it's clear that powerful people were fucking with this guy and, and are implicated in some evil shit. And I think most people were like in the name of transparency, let that be known. So you can wash out this generation of fucking freaks and, you know, begin some kind of reckoning with that. But again, that is obviously a bridge too far when we're talking about. Isn't this gonna be easy for them
Starting point is 00:39:27 to like create a fake report and be like, yeah, it was actually, I don't understand why they haven't done that. Like over and over again. What about the tape? Do you guys talk about that? The prison cell tape? Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Cause right, isn't it allegedly not even of where he was at? Like it's the facility, but not really trained on like the actual front door. It was the real thing for the door. This isn't a great example. Yeah. Amazon is coming through. And then like the part that they edited out, they just turned the camera off. But you can clearly hear Donald Trump and Bill Clinton like whispering to one another.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Hey, what I tell you man, keep your motherfucking mouth shut. Keep your mouth shut. We can't. Hey, give me that Adrena Crowe. They are ringing the doorbell, unfortunately for them. Like right now, so there's this Turning Point USA student summit event in Tampa, Florida over the weekend, and the crowd was very consistent with their anger over the lack of Epstein evidence. And this is Laura Ingraham, Ingraham Angle, Ingraham Angling her way to try and get a
Starting point is 00:40:30 nice like, it's just a sound bite around the Epstein thing. How many of you are satisfied? You can you can clap satisfied with the results of the Epstein investigation clap. Okay, I told you to clap. of the Epstein investigation. Clap. Okay, I told you to clap. You guys are listening. I'm not going to grade you on a curve. So I was nobody's you dumb slut. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:40:56 I'm sorry. This is just one part. I just want to play because when she does the I told you guys to clap also seems like a bit of Jeb Bush like yo, I don't really have like MC skills So I'm gonna kind of tell you what I need to happen But then create a mic drop moment if I just drop the mic, is that cool? So then she goes on when someone says we're not satisfied the wish is like I was exact I was gonna get to that part. That wasn't that that was just I knew that
Starting point is 00:41:25 I'll just let her finish So I was gonna get to that how many of you are not satisfied with the results of the investigation Yo, they are so fucked this is This is their anti-vax movement. It's something bigger than Trump. And it's something that he has to pander to, except the only problem is... Oh, that's really good. Yeah. Yeah, the only problem is,
Starting point is 00:41:54 so he can't call the shots on this. This is the base that's going to call the shots on the anti-vax stuff. This is the other thing. Again, heavily laden with conspiracy, but happens to be one I slightly agree with more. And he can't go with it because it implicates himself. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:09 Right. Yeah. This is again, same event. You have Megyn Kelly and Charlie Kirk now doing a similar thing. Now I think in this version, Charlie Kirk and Megyn Kelly are trying to communicate to the White House. Y'all need to fucking do something because we're losing them. This one has a different tone because they very much are basically trying to sort of present to camera that this is something that needs to be handled
Starting point is 00:42:34 or needs to be considered. Well, this is the first big scandal, I'd say, of the Trump administration that's on Team Rational. It's not a fake media scandal like the left tries to create for President Trump every other day. It's one of the right's own making and it's not going well. And it has to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Let me just ask you, make some noise if you care about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Make some noise. Make some noise. Make some motherfucking noise. Hey, make some motherfucking noise for Jeffrey Epstein! Palm Beach in the house? Okay, so they got, watch this and then Charlie Kirk follows this up.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Raise your hand if it matters a lot to you. Raise your hand. Every hand. So every hand of 7,000 people. Everybody cares. A lot. I said a lot. Every hand. Here's what I think is happening. So again- What is happening? Explain it. Yeah. No, she goes, I mean, again, she's just saying this is something, where are we at with the transparency? She goes on to use this to attack Pam Bondi. Yeah, it's all Pam Bondi.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Which is the one way- Oh, she loves attacking other women. Megan Kelly is like, you know what, I am a feminist and I am in solidarity with all women. Who are me. Pam Bondi is a loose cunt who needs to die in a wood chipper. Okay? And it needs to be said. Exactly. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. She does this with every woman who isn't her exactly to Jack's point. So it's so funny. Yes, because Bondi is taking the heat. So a lot of people are like, all right, you're going to have to cut Bondi out. But of course, you know, the problem is they just needed to pay one.
Starting point is 00:44:14 They clearly needed to pay Bongino and cash way more money than they were already paying them. Yeah, we're like, talk to them. I mean, it just feels like it's like incompetent. Like they're not, like you said, they are not, these are not deep state like operators who are like, okay, you've been read in and now like this is like complete transparency with,
Starting point is 00:44:36 or you know, you're inside the black. Like these are just people who are fucking so loose and un- Yeah. Unprofessional? Unprofessional, I guess would be the word. Whoa, Jack, easy. Undisciplined that like, it's just anything like this is going to be a real, a real problem for them.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Well, because again, which is great. Being great, but being a conspiracy theory, clout chaser is so short sighted that you keep going, Oh shit, when I talk that shit, they like that. Watch me, I'm gonna keep talking that shit. I'm gonna keep talking that shit. And then one day you catch the fucking car and now you're like, oh fuck. And you're in the car.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Yeah, exactly. You're in the car and under the car. I am the car, I'm driving the car. I was just saying about how the FBI director would have the files. You're like, I'm the fucking car now. So again, over the weekend, apparently damn Bon Gino. The white McQueen style car.
Starting point is 00:45:29 It's you. Voiced by you. Oh my God, I'm the Epstein files. So this is from Axios quote, not only did Bon Gino take Friday off and threaten to quit, some believed Patel, the FBI director might leave with him. So Trump quote, had a frank conversation with Patel, a source familiar with the discussion said. Vice President Vance spoke repeatedly to Patel and Bongino to try and contain the fallout. Two sources said Patel then issued a statement on X Saturday that he was staying and administration
Starting point is 00:45:58 officials expect Bongino to return to work, at least for a short time. Trump told reporters Sunday he had spoken earlier to Bongino and called him a very good guy. Dan has made it clear that he can't stand Pam and Pam has made it clear that she can't stand Dan. So here we are. This is what one administration official said, not Trump. So it's DOJ versus FBI.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Great guy. Love his pizza rolls. Exactly. Say what you will. The FBI is not closer to Trump than the DOJ. The DOJ is the right-hand operative man of all of Trump's lawlessness right now. So you can get mad at Pam Bondi all you want, but the reality is, yeah, they're not in on these discussions.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Pam Bondi has been the vehicle to deport people like Kilmar Braycle Garcia to El Salvador and a bunch of other innocent people. So whine all you want, but they did the, I mean, to me, they did the fucking cover up, which is why it's so funny that everyone's mad at Pam Bondi because it's like, well, you should be in favor of Pam Bondi because she's helping your boy stay out of trouble. The reality is watching all these right-wingers blail as to what their line is going to be is fascinating, right?
Starting point is 00:47:09 Because it's like, they don't know what to tell their listeners and they don't want to lose their listeners. So they're sweating because they're like, we're going to have to, but all they have to do, I mean, I might sound crazy to some people, but I've read stuff. I've listened to interviews with former Sports Illustrated model Stacey Williams,
Starting point is 00:47:28 who was Epstein's girlfriend, who said Epstein then introduced her to Trump, and then Trump immediately fondled her and started kissing her in front of Epstein, and it grossed her out and made it seem like it was a sick game between the two of them. Yeah, because they did that shit all the time. There's a beauty queen from like fucking Sweden, who Epstein helps send to New York to be part of one of the Miss Universe or Miss America, whatever the hell pageants that Trump was running. Same exact thing happened. And this woman was like, No, thanks. And like left but like, it's everywhere. You just have to actually report on it and talk about it. And I understand mainstream
Starting point is 00:48:03 liberal news doesn't want to do it. As soon as Epstein died, as soon as Epstein died, they didn't talk about it at all, which really was a disservice to the victims that really, because they were on it every fucking week. It was talking about Epstein. And then as soon as he died, it was like case closed. And it was suspicious. But then the right wingers picked it up, right? Because, you know, because it was still there and no one was talking about it anymore. And also they're deeply obsessed with underage sex.
Starting point is 00:48:29 Like they're, you know, they're fucking creeps themselves. It's not like they want to go after the sex traffickers. They're like, what does it take to be a sex trafficker? Like, I feel like they're, I don't know. I think they have other motives. Anyway, we should move on, but I clearly. We need like, so this scandal has gone through like 2019 through the Biden ministry, like somebody knows what's, what's in those files, you know, like
Starting point is 00:48:54 who is not part, like currently part of the Trump administration. We need like a modern deep throat or whatever porn metaphor would be more appropriate to the modern day. Yeah. Like we need somebody to like create the story that like people want to read. There's never been a greater need for like some reporting and some anonymous sources and, you know, I do. But they're all seen as salacious.
Starting point is 00:49:20 Yeah, I feel like you're right that it would be, it would not be able to come out of the New York Times or the Washington Post or some shit like that because they would be like, this is tawdry. Exactly, that's why they don't cover it. And even Michael Wolfe is seen as tawdry. And it's like, maybe he is, but he also had many, many interviews with Ebsene. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Anywho. We'll see how they try and spin out of it. Because the whole thing is they always have to redirect the anger at some way, because it can be so, like many, many interviews with Epstein. Anywho. We'll see how they try and spin out of it. Because the whole thing is they always have to redirect the anger in some way because it can never be anyone's fault and it just ends. They always have to be like, it's not that, it's this person, it's this person, it's this one.
Starting point is 00:49:55 That's what they're covering it. But they're fast approaching the wall here. Freaking Bondi, man. For some reason, she just, and we have no idea who she was trying to protect. Probably the Clintons. But she- Definitely.
Starting point is 00:50:10 It was her. Well, whoever's still a lot, I mean, you got Gates and Clinton, they're like, thank God. Yeah. Yeah, I bet they're not sleeping super well. I bet their sleep tracking devices are being like, yeah, the first bad night sleep in decades, sir.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Are you thinking about Epstein again? No, no. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. And we're back. We're back. And we're back folks. And we're back. And we're back. JD Vance. Brave. Yeah. Brave. Hero.
Starting point is 00:50:49 You know. Bad of the year. Presumably flew in to an airport in the hellhole that is Los Angeles. Yep. Yep. Absolute fucking post-apocalyptic. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Presumably flew in to an airport in the hell hole that is Los Angeles. Yep. Yep. Absolute fucking post-apocalyptic landscape, if you watch Fox News, with his family and because he had to go to Disneyland. Why do you go to Disneyland instead of Disney World?
Starting point is 00:51:20 I know. Yeah, I'm like, bro, of all the, why are you coming? Why are you coming out to Cali, bro? To the land. Is there a Star Wars? There's Star Wars. They have that there. What? They've got more shit at world than they do at land.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Way more. There is something else happening here. I don't know why it had to come all the way here. I wonder if because he thought he would be around more MAGA people in Florida, who would give them shit about the Epstein things. He's like, I'll handle liberal booze in Disneyland versus hearing from MAGA people who are upset. I don't know. Either way.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Either way. Either way. Liberal booze is that George Clooney's tequila brand? Wow. Anyways, that's been my time folks. And Francesca, any of these that you want to use for your stand up? Yeah. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Oh, I'm writing them down. Up for grabs. You look like Oh, I'm writing them down. Up for grabs. Yeah. But you look like you're busily writing them down. Anyways, he went to- I think she's trying to pull the ethernet cable out of her computer. No, I'm just going to, I'm writing them down. Oh, my connection.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Writing it around her neck. Ooh. So he went to Disneyland with his family, which is, and like didn't, they didn't close it down. with his family, which is, and like didn't, they didn't close it down. So I feel like there was a conversation that happened where he was like, no, we're going to be like, nor just normal family at Disneyland. We don't have to like, we want our kids to feel normal to grow up in a normal world, uh, so we're not going to close it down. And so they end up walking around Disneyland.
Starting point is 00:52:46 That's open ish. Like every part of the park that they go to gets shut down, creating massive lines for anybody who's like trying to, who didn't know that this shit was going to be happening. And then everyone goes, wait, what, what's going on? Why are we getting kicked out to like JD Vance is here. And I'm sure every person said, Oh, great. I love that because I'm already paying $7,000 to be at a Disney park right now.
Starting point is 00:53:08 That now I'm waiting even longer. Cause JD Vance wants to do a jungle cruise. The people had the fast pass one or whatever, like, right. Right. Like their time slot to go and do the Indiana Jones ride. And we're like, fuck. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Yeah. JD Vance has decided to enter. We also got to see what it looks like when he runs. And it, like people say this person runs like they have a shit in their pants. This person runs like, I feel like this could be submitted as forensic evidence that he shit his pants. What was he trying to get? What was he, what is he doing?
Starting point is 00:53:42 He looks like he's saving someone. He looks like he just shit his pants and is running to. He looks like it's feeding time. Maybe it's just cause the background, like at the gorilla portion enclosure, the grilling closure. And he's really moving that upper body though. He's like a Millie rockin or some shit. But good for him.
Starting point is 00:54:02 But the legs are really heavy, heavy, heavy legs. I don't know if it was just leg day or if he literally just shit his pants and was trying not to keep it from like leaking out the cuffs of his pants. But this is just he. Yeah. I just, I feel like this whole thing is him forcing like almost like a Truman show reality where he's like, see kids, this is normal. This is what Disneyland is like.
Starting point is 00:54:26 It's still open. And meanwhile, it's just like ruining all these people who have, who are just like now unwitting props. Like they had no idea they were going to have to play the normal people in this fantasy of JD Vance and that he's like trying to do for his kids. Yeah, not even, I just, I saw like a clip of just people being like, just booing while he was walking through too. Not like deafening, but audible.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Like if you're a child, you're like, Oh, what, what, what's my situation exactly? Cause they're, you know, they're, they're not like super old, right? I I'm not, I'm sure they're not like going on Reddit or some shit yet, or maybe who knows, maybe they are, but like just that experience for your own kids. Like you don't want to just even as a parent, you're like, whatever, I'm going to insist that we look normal. Even if that means you're subjected to like a very chaotic environment where people are saying we suck as people, whatever.
Starting point is 00:55:18 I don't, I don't think that people who govern us are entitled to peace. Right. And I sure as shit don't think they're entitled to a family fucking vacation in Disneyland in a state that is being, um, terrorized by Donald Trump and he openly admitted that I've invaded California, I'm attacking California. So I know people, you know, I'm there with their family. They got their family. I'm not even saying don't boo them.
Starting point is 00:55:46 I'm just saying, bro, you should know better, bro, because it's smoke free. Oh, yeah. No, I'm saying you're just like, you can know, I can hear the discourse around it's wrong to do this. And these are still people and da da da. You know, we saw Ted Cruz on vacation in Greece while, you know, Texas was flooding the other week, but he went on vacation. These are people who go on vacation just after they've
Starting point is 00:56:06 cut Medicaid away from however many millions of people. And you're like, oh, so you could go on your break. So you'd go on your Shemmer break. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like, they have no shame. Like, to me, I would feel so much shame going to fucking Disneyland. I would go camping if I were that much of a ghoul,
Starting point is 00:56:24 or like somewhere remote. But going to Disneyland is just like, oh, yeah. Well, it's open. Like, wow, it's open. What is he supposed to do? They pay to shut it down? Yeah, our money. They do that all the time. You know, I'm just like, I feel like he's trying to prove something. That's the that's the one. Sure. You know, yeah, he's just trying to fucking just pedal to the metal, just get through it. And I think maybe he's probably trying to insist on some level that he's it's okay. Like that he can. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:53 But it is normal. The rot will not reach him when it well and truly has. And yeah, of course. I mean, we all grew up. We all remember those first memories of us going to Disneyland with our parents and being surrounded by dudes and under armor polos who have machine guns and backpacks. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:09 They like have them in totes. I feel like they were like, okay, this is what it like this one guy looks like he's carrying a tote. And that is clearly full of... Can't have the Draco just fully out like that. So I'm going to wrap a canvas bag over this fucking Uzi or whatever the fuck I'm holding. What for security? Is that what you're saying? Yeah. I'm gonna wrap a canvas bag over this fucking Uzi or whatever the fuck I'm holding. What for security? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, yeah. There's like secret service officers around them just blending in like dressed like
Starting point is 00:57:34 somebody who would be at Disneyland. But then you can see the earpiece and they also have... What's in... Yeah. What's the bulge? Like... Oh, it's snacks. Snacks for the kids. Obviously, we're at Disneyland. We got Capri Suns in here. We got some goldfish crackers, AR-15, and some nerd rope clusters.
Starting point is 00:57:55 I mean, I feel like there might have just been a keep calm and carry on memo that went out to Trump and Vance because Trump was like at a FIFA World Cup match. It was like getting on stage to for the trophy acceptance and just not refusing to leave. So what is the club World Cup? Cause I saw the headline, I'm like, World Cup, excuse me? Yeah, they do it as the, well now it happens every year but this it's in the US specifically
Starting point is 00:58:23 because I guess sort of warm up to next year's what will be a disastrous World Cup in the United States. Basically, it's like the top club teams from the different, what's the word I'm looking for? South America too. Conferences. Yeah. You'll have teams from Brazil playing Chelsea football club from London or playing Paris Saint-Germain, who's owned by the Qatari investment group or whatever.
Starting point is 00:58:48 So all of them are playing. So it's like meant to be like the top teams are all facing off. And anyway, the finale was in New Jersey. And of course, Mr. Donald was there and he's again, they're doing the national anthem. The camera cuts to him and people are just booing because of course, here's your little sound bite of that. I mean, I don't, again, I don't know what you expected.
Starting point is 00:59:17 We're talking about football, the fucking world's game that regularly is about getting people from all over together to like celebrate like the one thing or even these club teams themselves are a tapestry of all different nationalities playing together. I do know that football fans will sing songs sometimes instead of like doing the standard cheers that casual American sports fans do. So I think this was actually them singing the opening chords of, you got what I need.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Yeah. He's a great president. He's a great president. Yeah, maybe. I think I needed more of the whistling because in Latin America, if you hate somebody, it's not boo, it's whistle, whistle real loud. Yeah, definitely a US audience there
Starting point is 01:00:06 that was just showcasing their displeasure and what they were chanting. U-S-A. Yeah, that's what they were saying. Exactly, exactly. But it's so resounding. It is interesting to actually watch the videos or hear the videos because the headlines
Starting point is 01:00:22 always gonna be, oh, booed, whatever. But that was insane amounts of booing. And you're right, Miles. It's like, there's nothing more un-American in MAGA's mind than World Cup soccer. World gross. Yeah. There's a world, are you kidding me?
Starting point is 01:00:37 Which is so ironic, because again, we are hosting it next year and it will be a disaster. And a sport that we famously are not good at yet. Yes. You know what I mean? So of course there's, I don't know, that's not the world cup. I'm excited for the refereeing to be rigged to the point where the U.S. ties. Right. Versus loses mostly. Yeah, you never know, you know. I mean, again, that's the other thing though, too, is like the U.S. is only getting better because of our embracing of the children of immigrants who come to this country with the real, the fucking excitement for the game of soccer. That's the thing that is making this team better. It's not because like, we have a bunch of dual nationals, right? Is it like, still a bunch of German and kids born on military bases in Europe. Like, that's why the fucking team is OK.
Starting point is 01:01:27 It's not because fucking, you know, Colin from fucking Encino is fucking like the story. Alexi Lollis, Alexi Lolli is a fucking loser. Anyway, this is the moment, though, afterwards. So Chelsea beat PSG in the final and Trump is bringing the trophy on stage. All again, this is a huge moment when the like the norms So Chelsea beat PSG in the final and Trump is bringing the trophy on stage all again This is a huge moment when the truth like the norms of Lifting a trophy after a soccer tournament is the people who are you know putting the tournament on give you the trophy and you get
Starting point is 01:01:56 The fuck off the stage. So the photo will be the captain Lifting the trophy above their head and everyone's screaming. You never see a fucking purse. You don't even see the fucking coach in those images. It's the squad. And here's Trump giving the fucking trophy out. But again, you see it. Reese James, who's the captain of Chelsea and then another player, Cole Palmer. And even like Mark Kukureya, who's a Spanish player, they're like,
Starting point is 01:02:22 what the fuck is this guy doing? So he's like, get off the stage. Look at Mark Cucarrea. He's like, ugh, this dude is grimacing. And is it Infantino? Is that the FIFA head who's like trying to usher him off? Yes. And he's like, the reporting is like, oh, Trump didn't notice.
Starting point is 01:02:37 No, no, no, no. He absolutely noticed. And then watch this. So this, this white dude right here, he's Cole Palmer. He's like, the fuck is this guy doing? The guy with the trophy. You'll see him say, are you leaving? Are you going to leave?
Starting point is 01:02:54 Are you going to leave now? And like, look at Cole Parmy's like, what the fuck is this? He's like, he said, what? Oh, what's what's man's doing up here? Anyway, he had their moment. He looks at Trump and says, are you leaving? And he looks the direction that he's looking to see who he's talking to. Bro. That's me all day.
Starting point is 01:03:14 It's just amazing that like, this is the club world cup, but like that any champion in the United States is reward will be. in the United States, his reward will be fucking Donald Trump with his goofy ass red tie and his ill fitting suit and his dumb ass hair out there in your shot while you're trying to celebrate. Like, that's terrible. I know. It's like, for people who don't quite understand why this is, especially every soccer fan, football fan around the world is like. Get the fuck off the stage. It's like if you were at a wedding and the efficient is like, OK,
Starting point is 01:03:49 like they're announcing the couple and they say you may kiss the bride or whatever. And then then getting in the middle of the while they kiss, like turn around and watch them kiss. Like they got Jack Nicholson front row at the lake show type seats to that. And it was like, go get the fuck out the way. What are you fucking doing, bro? This ain't about you right now. Also, fun fact, the trophy that Reese James lifted, that was a fucking replica because Trump wanted to keep the original one.
Starting point is 01:04:14 What? Yes. He's like, I like that. I want to keep it. And they're like, oh, well, this is a thing. They're like, so they had to cook up a replica for them to lift that for the fucking after the final on Sunday. So yeah, all around. So we're going to see like the club trophy in his, it's in the White House. I think it's in the oval. And I think so. I think the world cup is in the oval too.
Starting point is 01:04:37 And the Stanley cups, presumably he'll have in there too. Yeah. You could probably Stanley quenchers. I will. Yeah, I will say that like, I feel like you could, he, he loves to like bring people around and be like, see that, that's Mike Tyson's boxing glove. He used it in a match. That's not Mike Tyson's boxing gloves. Like there are like thousands upon thousands of like Mike Tyson used that in an, in an actual match gloves out there that like, no, no, it's not.
Starting point is 01:05:03 And he seems like he'd be about the easiest person to fool in the world. Yeah. I mean, this is just so funny because when he saw it, he was like, Ooh, look at this big old golden orb. And then he was like, I think I'd like to keep it. He's like, he's just a child. It's like when you go shopping for a birthday present and like, you have to get something, the kid have to get something,
Starting point is 01:05:26 the kid has to get a toy as well. You know when you were little and you're like, no, but I want me. I want that toy. I want a toy too. No, it's a gift. It's not for you. It's not your day.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Mr. Francis is taking his bath. That's like in Pee Wee Herman when he's like, I want your bike, Pee Wee. Yes, he's got big Francis. Where are they hosing him down? Yeah, he's Francis, dude. Where are they hosing him down? Yeah, he's Francis, dude. Where are they hosing him down is one of my favorite lines ever. Amazing. Well, Francesca, such a pleasure having you as always on the podcast.
Starting point is 01:05:55 Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? Franny, Fio, F-R-A-N-I-F-I-O on YouTube and on Instagram and on, God, TikTok is so awful, but I mean, yes, I'm there. I mean, it's not awful, I just don't understand it. And yes, come see me live in Seattle, August 1st and 2nd, Laugh's Comedy and then Rainier Arts Center on the 2nd for the Bituational Room with Ijeoma Oluo and Matt Lieb. And then I'll be here in LA at Pasadena Ice House, fuck ice, but embrace the ice house on Saturday, August 30th for my show,
Starting point is 01:06:30 New World Disorder, which has been really, really fun. Oh yeah. Is this a time where I talk about what I, this is, I know this. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? There you go. Nice and loud. There's just a tweet by Clara, Clara underscore S J O. Maybe Epstein killed himself because he had no clients
Starting point is 01:06:50 When business is tough people make some Just like last they are I was like they're gonna say That Epstein was a hero date. Greg Kelly did that shit on Newsmax. Oh, that he was a hero? Yeah. He said, I don't know, maybe this guy was a patriot. You know? I mean, why would the head of the, why would people in the
Starting point is 01:07:11 CIA be visiting with him? Oh boy. Maybe because he was using this blackmail to leverage our adversaries and we still hold that leverage. And he was doing it. Yeah. He bent his brain up into a whole aspect. Wow. Yep. They're going brain up into a whole aspect. Wow.
Starting point is 01:07:26 Yeah. They're going to try. That's one angle to launder every angle. Yeah. Miles, where can people find you? Is there work in media? Yeah. You've been enjoying. Find me everywhere at milesofgray.
Starting point is 01:07:37 You can also find me on the 90 Day Fiancé show, 420 Day Fiancé with Sophia Alexandra, talking about 90 Day Fiancé. A work of media I like is from at Gilbert Jason Oh.bisqai.social. It's a picture from this Rahm Emanuel interview on CNN. I've got one office left in me. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:07:57 Shut the fuck up. The lower third says Rahm Emanuel on the path forward for Democrats. And then on the screen, there's a QR code that says scan here for a full interview with Rahm Emanuel. And then on the screen, there's a QR code that says scan here for full interview with Rahm Emanuel and Jason posted, they're calling it the least scanned QR code of all time. That shit got me man.
Starting point is 01:08:21 They're calling it the least. Can't even remember what time. Let's see, some tweets I've been enjoying. Alfie at AlfieNXO tweeted, Well, well, well, if it isn't the bridge, I said I'd cross when I came to it. Mike Cobraman tweeted, I'll never forget when Tracy Chapman came into my office with her new novelty song, Fart Car.
Starting point is 01:08:46 I said, kid, you change the first R to an S, slow down the music at least two times, and you got a hit. All right. I just like the idea there. It's really fast too. Then Franklin Leonard, guest on the show, tweeted, narratively speaking, the tightest ending to this screenplay is probably the freed J6 protester storming the White House to demand
Starting point is 01:09:09 the release of the Epstein files. Wow. I do agree. That's how the story ends. I really actually think that the Mark Kelly thing is the only way out of it for them for real, for real. The laundry. To make him look like a hero.
Starting point is 01:09:24 If they exonerate Epstein posthumously, like if actually they show that he was, somehow show he was framed to make him look like a good guy, then Trump can be associated. You know what I mean? Right. But again, then you miss out on the Clinton and the Gates and whoever else they want to nab.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Hold on, I mean, Jack, you weren't there. And for people that missed it, I'm just going to play this because it is it's wild to even hear this. And again, Mark Kelly was an astronaut. OK, Greg Kelly is the host of Newsmax. This is the clip. Epstein, what happened and who the hell is this guy? The stuff that has not been emphasized enough,
Starting point is 01:10:00 this all was possibly a guy who was working for the Central Intelligence Agency, it was engaging in sexual black blackmail blackmailing our adversaries and we still have leverage over our adversaries and that's why They can't reveal all the information. Oh Yeah, okay Yeah, yeah, we got a hero on our hand then he goes on scene who doesn't even have a company I think it was because Epstein was working for these guys. Who knows? Maybe Epstein is a patriot for Christ's sake.
Starting point is 01:10:31 Wow. So you're saying the CIA uses 14-year-old honey traps. Don't look into that part. That is called patriotism. See, the dream is now collapsing because you actually examined it. You need me on that wall, Francesca. You need me on that wall, to quote a few good men. You need me on that wall,
Starting point is 01:10:51 entrapping Saudi dissidents with 14-year-olds. But I love it. I mean, yes, that's what I'm saying about their flailing. It's like, at least bless them for like trying have a new line, because they don't know what the fucking line is because the line's not coming down. That's right. They're hitting the button and they're like, where's my pellet? Where's my pellet? And if the pellet's not coming down.
Starting point is 01:11:09 Yeah, you really he thinks he can just who is that even? Nobody nobody cares about her anymore right his way out of this.
