A redacted amount of years later, we're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips. This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drinks. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Oh, they hit a bogo. Well, then you got it.

Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or where wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Arsenal Premier League Champion Trend. Yes. You're such a loud cryer. Yes! Fuck yes!

20-2 fucking years I've been waiting. 22 years. I have gone through the boom-bust cycle of thinking you have a team. halfway through the scene being like this is a wash. Maybe if this changes, that changes. The constant fucking disappointment, the bad luck, it's fucking been overturned. We are the Premier League champions. We still have another final we're playing in and I feel so fucking good.

I'm levitate. Are you, so you guys won the Premier League. You came in first place and that's kind of the big thing. That's sort of the deal. That's sort of the goal. That's the deal. It's not like a thing in the NBA where like you win the league. but then the only thing that matters is if you win the championship.

No, no. See, it's all done based on who has the best record at the end of 30. It's NASCAR. It's very NASCAR. Yeah, it's F-1. You know what I mean? They stole it from NASCAR. Yeah, yeah.

What I call the beautiful game. NASCAR. This is NASCAR. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's NASCAR. Yeah. So, well, congratulations, man. I am very happy for you.

Thank you. I do check. And now my ESPN app knows that I'm a, you know, Arsenal fan once removed. You're entangled. Yeah. I was checking now. Now I get the updates.

Congrats, man. I'm so, I'm so happy for you. There was a video that came out with like our, like really most recent historic manager, Arson Venger. Like the video from the club started with him being like, you've done it.

And we were taking, he was the last manager we went under and we had this fucking entire era called the banter era because we were so bad because we couldn't win it. I started sobbing when I saw him because it felt, You're getting teary-eyed right now. It felt like, yeah. It felt like a, like a family member you lost who you're like, we could have done it together, but you didn't make it. But you're playing.

And now, look, and then here he's like, fucking Obi-Wan Kenobi. Yeah. At the end of Jedi and shit. Force ghosts. Oh my God. And is he, did he make it? Miles was really fucked up. I'm fucked up, dude.

Did he make that video years ago, like the way a president makes a video that's like, if you're seeing this. The end has come. You're all going to die. I don't know. It must have been recently. It must have been recent. It's like the Pope's, uh, death, death notice where they've like written the obit already. Yeah.

Um, anyways, man, congratulations. This is, uh, I'm not going to stop talking about it. I used to not stop top, not stop talking about interstellar. You used to not stop talking about. Not stop talking about Arborcental. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry. Not sorry. Fine. Whatever. What's going on? What's happening? I mean, that's it. That's all we have on the doc for today.

I can keep going. You want me to cry? Even more? I got all these videos that I have. All right. We should talk about commencement. For some reason, commencement speeches are just all over the news this week.

We got the people booing various CEOs about their commencement speeches where they were like, you know, when you get the opportunity to be, the battery in the Matrix for a bunch of machines, you take it. Yeah, you don't ask what size battery

you're going to be. You say thank you for the lovely nap. You say, that bed looks comfortable. I love a goo tank and an outlet plugged into my skull. You're going to be taken care of and fed through a tube that goes directly into your stomach. Do we know what the technology

was for the Matrix battery pods? It was just off of our human warmth was generating. It's a great question Miles. I think it was, yeah. Big brain. It could be a big plot hole. I mean, what, what's the greatest machine that man has ever invented is the human, ah shit, I

fucked that up. Man didn't invent the human brain. But, you know, the brain, I don't know. I don't know how they did it. Does seem virtually integrated into the matrix. They're in fetus fields. Yeah, I don't know. There's this, there's, this, there's, this, there's, Wicca Matrix article is way

too fucking long. It's powered by poop. What if it, you know, because that's the, like, you got to feed us. Gotta take away our poop. Oh, it draws heat energy. So they're using, not great. Not giving you a lot. I get why you need a lot.

I feel like you could have done that with fucking hummingbirds, you know? Yeah. Just get some hummingbirds. Anyways, it would have had to have been, make sense to me. And this is going to be the episode because we've spent episodes talking about interstellar. Now, it's your turn, the Matrix. 1999 is the matrix. It would have had to have something to do with the human mind and how like there's,

so many neurons firing and they're like, we found a way to harness those. Those little sparks. Because there's nothing that special about the human body. Unless the premise is that, I mean, I'm not talking about your butt. I'm not talking about your ear, maybe the premise is that all the animals

had been killed off. Anyways, Matrix heads, calling the lines are open. So anyways, that was off of commencement speeches. I will just say that, In thinking about why we're getting all these viral commencement speeches, you know, I talked about how there's this huge split between the haves and the have-nots. And we've been talking about that for the past week. And like the youngs are the have-nots and the olds are the, we've built an amazing system for you.

Right. you just sit down and beg for food because the machines will take it from here. It's also worth noting, I think, that these are kids who were on camp, like, their college career included the crackdown by the federal government on, yeah, people protesting a genocide. Yeah. And being, like, disappeared. Yeah, yeah. So might be a radicalizing event for somebody.

It might be a radicalizing event. And, you know, student bodies have driven revolutions in the past. I don't know if it's happening here. But, um, that does seem, at the very least, they're on the right side of the AI history. That's right. Um, so Donald Trump gave them, they're like, oh, yeah, you think, you think those commencement speeches were bad? Um, here's something spooky. Donald Trump gave a speech to the graduating class of Coast Guard cadets.

Mm-hmm. And, yeah. He said a lot. He said a lot. A lot of weird shit, a lot of, we're going to go to Cuba and bagabah. Dagabah. Dagabah, get yor out of there. I'm not lifting the next swing with my mind.

This is, I think this is the most terrifying part, though, where, again, when he says stuff, it's not, like, he's only lying about, like, how good he is at president. When he says stuff, like, I'm going to steal the election. That's true. So this is him saying, I'm going to be here in 28th. I'm going to be here in 32. Two. This is, but here he is, this is again talking to a group of graduates, but he snuck this one in because

dementia. But we're making, right now currently under construction, we have 11, beautiful. And I said, come on, when's the first one coming? They said, in 28. I said, I'm going to be here in 28. Maybe I'll be here in 32, too. I don't know. Maybe I will.

But I'm going to be here in 28. Does he have, like, his crew? Like, does he have a traveling, like, dog pants? that came with him like that's those are Coast Guard cadets no it's eight Christian women from Louisville Kentucky yeah with church hair

the trumpets just come with them yeah they're like deadheads they're brain dead so yeah that was the other thing the other thing here too was he was doing this thing again we know he's senile and has no capacity for like a like a consistent stream of coherent thoughts.

He was doing this thing where he, he's like winding up to say something profound and it just gets, like he just starts adding layers on, like a drunk person who's trying to come off sober by sounding very profound. Right. This is him talking about. Trying to talk his way out of a field sobriety test. Yeah, basically.

Going to happen change that we can't even think of right now. The things will happen and I believe for the best, hopefully for the best, but I believe for the best. But things will happen that you can't even imagine. Wow. And it's going to be very exciting, but the way that's going to happen is through thinking big.

Nothing great was ever built. Think of that. Nothing great was ever built without the word. Without what? What do you think? You'd think he'd say big here. Without thinking big. Without the word.

Or like without thinking big. Thinking without the word. Here he goes. Ever built without the word momentum. Okay. In times of your life, you'll have momentum. That's the time to go for it. Yeah.

So. This does feel ripped. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Very off the cup. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all momentum. So, and he's got boils under those cups. So he shouldn't be doing anything off them damn cups.

Yeah, yeah. I'm talking about it. It's freaky. It's, again, buckle your asses because I'm pretty sure he's, he's claiming bullfuckery in 28. And it seems that way based on how they're very madder. They're building 11 things that he's going to be here to see. Like was he?

I think he's talking about the arch, the new monument pool, whenever that gets painted. Mainly the ballroom, though. I was wondering, like, is the, yeah, all that shit, you know, all the, all the nonsense buildings that he's putting up because that's, again, like, it's like you want to get grandpa to do stuff

that, like, helps him feel alive again. It's like, oh, he liked building stuff, right? It's okay, have them do that.

Yeah. Give him the sandbox. What have we just made the back, the Rose Garden, a giant sandbox? Or fucking LEGOs or something. Yeah,

but like give him like the really cool, like battery operated, like Tonka things, you know? You do is you get a Lego set of like, like an Iranian military base. And you're like,

sir, just mash it with your hand. Yeah. And then you show him a video. Yeah. And you like, what you just did. Damn, dude.

That's crazy. Go to bed. Go to. I said you got one. You get one button match. He is the most powerful president we've ever had, maybe at this point, which is just, yeah. Like, as this aspect of his brain not working, kind of misfiring very publicly culminates, so too does his iron grip over the Republican Party. we just had two elections yesterday that sort of solidified that when you come for the yellow king

the orange king you best not miss no you better not uh Thomas Massey has been a massive impediment to Trump's who the hell is Jeffrey Epstein campaign obviously he was behind the effort to publish publicize all the files um and you know the Kentucky Republican just wouldn't get the hint that Donald Trump didn't like it. Yeah. And, you know, he put him up, Trump picked a, had a handpicked Navy seal to run against him in his primary.

And the jig is up now, because his pick has beat Massey in an upset. Sure. And it wasn't just Massey. Another somewhat vocal MAGA critic, I say somewhat because even though these guys will say things that are sort of like diametrically opposed to Trump, their voting records typically indicate otherwise.

Bill Cassidy, the senator from Louisiana, he also lost his primary to a Trump pick. And you're like, oh, is that bad? For the GOP, most likely. Seems bad. Yeah, it does seem like, wow, he still holds sway. Over the people that listen to him. Right.

Over the Republicans specifically. Who, yeah, who are like buying in on who is he backing. This was from Politico, this is from a sort of anonymous, you know, senior Senate Republican operative. They quote, those so-called victories over the last couple weeks are just a mirage. They are self-owns.

We're not actually beating Democrats and we're not actually advancing legislation. It's said gas is up 45% due to our actions and the president's decision to go to war with Iran. He's focused on the ballroom. He's announced a $1.8 billion restitution fund with zero details or congressional authority to do so. It's just crazy.

Yeah. And now Cassidy is talking like a liberal and he voted for the war powers, resolution to limit Trump's, you know, ability to just blow shit up around the world for the first time. Like, he was voting with Republicans. And since, since then, he's now been like, yeah, you know what? No, fuck this, which is always sad when it takes somebody facing the sweet release of being ousted from office to find a spine. But this is another thing senators brought up in this article was that sort of like, you know, if you thought it was hard getting support for like bullshit Trump bills that are

like odious, like even their own constituents, uh, making ops out of sitting senators, uh, who are about to be on the way out until January, also not going to, not going to be great for that effort. Uh, not the best strategy. But, you know, but that's it. That's Trump has a pretty good record of people going up against him and him being able to primary them out or ousting them or getting them to resign or whatever. Uh, so Thomas Massey's just another name on that list. How do, how do those people tend to do in the general? Like, these are pretty safe Republican districts.

So it's not a thing where they're like, well, he got people who are going to be popular with Republicans. Yeah, I guess that's the thing is like, with all the special elections happening and Democrats making inroads with like red districts.

Right. And, you know, turning them purple and some just flipping them outright. Having a candidate who can't distance himself from Trump in the context of these midterms is not, obviously not. not the thing you want.

In the same way, like, was it Nebraska where, like, the Democrats are like, yeah, I'm fucking cars. Right. Okay. Yeah, sure, shush, shush, shh. Yeah, we want this guy, dude. We'd like this.

Yeah, yeah. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Hey, Ontario. Come on down to BetMGM Casino and check out our newest exclusive. The Price is Right Fortune Pick. Don't miss out.

We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys?

I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast,

where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, Jonas, and offered it up as a particular. potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen.

We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Jim Gaffigan to Bob Odenkirk, to David Letterman, help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an Aucapela band with their between songs banter. There's the worst singer in the group.

The worst? Yeah. Me. Is there anything to the idea that because you're from Harvard, you only got in because your parents made a huge donation. The group. The yard birds, right? That's the name.

The Harvard yard, but they're open to change. Do you have a name suggestion? We're open. Since you guys are middle aged. One erection. Listen to humor me with. Robert Smygel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Human me!

I need some jokes to make me seem funny. And we're back. And so I think, like, as we were discussing, you know, there's something about these kids that's just not connecting with AI for some reason. and I also think this is just like we generally don't take care of kids in this country I think like that Yeah we don't take care of ours for sure Yeah when I personally am like that

Fuck fuck that Yeah I keep I keep you know Dropping them off at the fire station I just put one of those apocalypse Survival buckets in my kids room And he's good We're good over here No but yeah no it is a it is a healthscape

for all living people and especially children in this country. I just, I've always wondered, like, there are certain things that always appear in horror movies. And, like, children is one of them. Like,

children are, like, spooky to Americans in particular. And I think it probably, yeah, because, like, that guilt.

Yeah, education is the first thing that we cut funding for. Yeah. Uh, we incarcerate children more than other countries. Um, so it's probably not a surprise that, like,

when we're thinking of like the most haunting thing we can think of it's like a child children we failed yes um but anyways uh in line with our failing of children there are two articles that just dropped the past week about how fucked the american classroom is one uh in the past couple of days 404 dropped an article about how um a preschool was sending out a like opt out notice to parents to be like, hey, if you don't want this, let us know where the teachers would wear cameras that would give AI first person looks for training of like what it's like to educate children. A preschool teacher body camera that's for training AI is the most. I mean, actually, wait, oh, I did have this on my bingo card. Yeah, this is, I bought up tons of squares. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay.

Because education is like the thing that they always point to when they're like, and think about the future. Like I think Eric Schmidt in his speech was like, think about the future of AI in the classroom. It's going to be amazing. Like they're going to be able to like teach children. And it's like, well, I've seen how it works trying to do other jobs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And anybody who does those jobs is like it sucks shit at the at the job. that it's what we're doing. Like, if you were bringing in a person who is doing this level of work, be like, they're kind of a con artist. Yeah. You know, they're,

uh, they have the appearance of like being able to smooth it over, but they're actually not doing the work. Um, but with the classroom, people are, like, the people who would notice are children.

Mm-hmm. And, uh, see previous comment about how we treat children in this country. We don't listen to them. No. Uh, we don't take care of them.

And so it's, just an opportunity for them to easily sell AI shit. That's so fucking rent. Yeah. Like, because, you know, obviously the other thing, too, is when whenever people talk about education, like, it's indoctrinating our kids to have empathy. Right. To, like, have to understand the value of, like, human connection and these other things.

And I'm sure that is a very inelegant, efficient way to just be like, just cut the humanity out of education. Right. And then you can begin to have these new kids download. some new firmware operating system of like being human 3.0, which doesn't have much, you know, parked or something. I don't know. That's another thing I just see like. What is the problem they think they're solving? Do they think they're like solving that there's too many damn teachers? Yeah, yeah. It's probably, you don't have to pay them. Right. And plus, everyone is going to be saying the exact same fucking thing

that you can control centrally. Right. You know, like they're opting out. I mean, that's a Like, that's actually what their plan is. But, like, what, I, I just wonder how they're pitching it. Like, it's just, like, better, it'll be better education because the computer is never wrong. Yeah. I think it's like Watson fucked everything up. That, uh, AI chess bot, people are like, and that's true of everything. If it's better at chess, it's going to be better at everything.

Yeah. You know, telling your child not to bully and getting, and understanding them on a childlike level to be able to communicate a lesson. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, 404 media, the articles says 4-4 media has repeatedly covered how AI is permeating through education, including students using AI themselves and the creation of entire AI-powered schools, which they were quick to jump to.

They're like, oh, yeah, we got, we got that. Which is, like, of all the things, I'd say, like, incorporating it into medicine is obviously something that needs to be done, like, very, very carefully. And I'd say like children's education would be. If at all. Yeah, yeah, the second most careful. Don't even. Don't even. You know why?

Because there's been study after study that shows the introduction of technology into the American classroom has coincided with this slip in basic academic skills. Yeah. Like it's truly it's about a fucking human being communicating these ideas to you. And that's actually the most, all these fucking freaks still can't figure out how to do it with tech. It's just all you say that

and all I hear is inefficiency. Yeah, yeah, that's all I hear. Sure, yeah. But there's also

an article that documents what, uh, in the Atlantic, one of the worst things I've witnessed in my time as a parent,

which is, uh, about this game called prodigy, um, which is a game for first through eighth grade students. And it's basically, you have a handful of like multiple choice questions. Mm-hmm.

And, getting them right allows you like gives you access to like you are a wizard who has these like monsters that you're powering that fight each other and it's like it's basically Pokemon. Like you're doing a Pokemon video game but it's drip like there are these like moments where you're supposed to answer like basic math and reading questions. And my oldest kid like got a. like truly was like to this game to this game it was introduced

in school we're like a no video game you know house and it was introduced in school and by the time like he he was like all I want for Christmas is like you know these power ups for this in game for this

for the school game yeah it's full of in game purchases at school like they have iPads or something it's yeah they have like it'll be a thing where it's like if you get it's a reward for like Like, you get all your work done. Go to the using your laptop or something. You can, like, use the laptop to, like, play this game.

But the game is made, like, clearly made by the people who are doing, like, addictive shit. And, like, we complained in the school was like, oh, yeah, this is fucking terrible. But, like, it's still, it's this massive business. Just from this Atlantic article, while the game is given to schools free. Oh, no, this is from, I think, a MSNBC article about the same thing. Well, the game is given to schools free for students to play and restrict. mode with only their classmates. When children play the unrestricted version of the game at home,

they receive regular reminders and messages encouraging them to become members, which costs $59 to $107. The campaign for commercial free childhood said in its letter complaint that during 19 minutes of gameplay, it saw 16 unique advertisements for membership and only four math problems. Wow. So four ads per math problem. You think the math, and even with the math problems are like, for $107, you get this much in a membership. Right.

And for $50, what's the better deal? Yeah, yeah, exactly. But it's just such a, like, just hearing the campaign for a commercial pre-childhood, it's just such a bummer that we live in a version of the world where, like, the campaign for a commercial pre-childhood is, like, just fighting such a losing battle. Yeah, sure. That there's even a camp, like a nonprofit that is doing that. God and God bless them. Oh, yeah. For sounding the alarm.

But yeah, it's like, fuck. Like you look at, I mean, everything from like the FDA to like all, all these different governmental organizations that are designed to prevent the forces of capital from abusing the shit out of us. Right. Right. Are all so underfunded. And it's not just that they're underfunded. It's also like there isn't, there's not a story about how cool. like that is. There's a thousand movies with like an

anti-hero who is essentially Donald Trump. Yeah, you know? Or like a media portrayal of a person who works in a nonprofit is like disheveled, stressed out and I was like, you don't want this life. Right. And it is fucking hard. But that all that to say is like the portrayal of even pursuing something like that

is just like, and that ain't it. Yeah. Um, that's just fucking that is grim. It's grim. Dude, you gotta let your kids play like early video. game. You know, like get them Nintendo. Right. You know what I mean? Like get them the, yeah. They ain't fucking, you're not hacking the matrix with fucking super side scroller,

Super Mario or Zelda. Yeah. If anything, they'll have a lot in common with their future bosses. That's right. They are, yeah, every time we go to like somebody's house that has one of those old, um, you know, cabinet like video game arcade cabinets that has all the video games, they get into those and that doesn't seem to get it. Yeah, Gallagher. Yeah, yeah, exactly. it. All right. Let's talk about ice. Specifically, the ICE agents who were shooting people in Minnesota.

The ice agent Christian Castro has been charged by Minnesota state prosecutors with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime after the non-fatal shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Selis. they shot him in the thigh while chasing his roommate Yeah, that was crazy This is when they were like, they attacked us with broomsticks And mop hammering, whatever That's where they got it Also it should come as no surprise

That both the men that they were chasing And shooting at are in the country legally And have no history of violent crimes Yeah, but you know, presumably terrified of being disappeared for no reason which seemed to be the status quo of ice at the time. And yes, to your point at the time,

Christy Noem concocted a hilariously unconvincing story about an attempted murder involving snow shovels and the handles of brooms, which was immediately disproven by video evidence. Right. And instead, like, what the video showed. And also just like the idea of it, like, you were, there was, they attempted murder with, with broomsticks.

Mm-hmm. Are they fucking witches? Yeah, yeah. What are you fucking talking about? I can kill a guy with a broomstick. Yeah, what's this dude. I'll snap it in half, dude. That's right.

Yeah, what the video showed instead was the people, the, um, suspects going to his home after crashing his car as Castro chases him. And they're outside. They tussle with no weapons. And then the two men run into their home when the officer shoots at them, shoots at them running into their home. Yeah, like a hero.

Yeah. Shoot someone with their back turn to you. Jesus. Just crazy. I'm glad that, like, finally, people are seeing attempted murder charges and, like, what, he's also one count of falsely reporting a crime? Because, yeah, what the fuck are you talking about? This is absolute, I mean, that's what's really infuriating is, like, we've yet to figure out

what they're going to do. I mean, they're not going to do anything about the people who killed Renee Good and Alex Prattie. but like at least this something is happening on the state level here and I god I people need to be talking about this more like for midterm things to be like this is the accountability like we actually need to be seeking at a federal level it just can't be like fuck yeah we got the loophole where we can finally do something at state level because feds aren't going to do it needs to be like an aggressive campaign to restore

things to some manner of like it's bad when the forces of fascism are murdering people in the street. Yeah, so as for agents who committed murder on camera, which there are a few, they've yet to be charged. The Hennepin County attorney, Mary Moriarty, said the issue is incredibly complex. Didn't seem that way on camera. Adding the last thing we want to do is make a mistake, which does make sense. Maybe incredibly complex in that the FBI and DOJ and DHS aren't.

cooperating with them to investigate and then maybe they don't want to bring charges pretty much that's the very charitable view of it the other one is like then maybe also it mean like we fucking literally can't do anything right or maybe like we're not going to do well i think it like so the state charged another ice agent this feels like this should be a much bigger story the state charged another ice agent back in april gregory donnell morgan junior um the guy who pointed his gun at random motorists because he was annoyed they were momentarily blocking his way. We remember that video.

He was charged with felony second degree assault with a dangerous weapon and he's now a fugitive. They? Yeah. Just like a Harrison Ford type of fugitive? Yeah, he's looking for the one-armed man who was actually the one-point of the gun. Yeah, which looks just

like me. Morgan is still not in custody and this is the part that feels I don't know, constitutional crisis-y and like this sort of thing that should be a front page, front page news. Both ICE and DHS have refused to even acknowledge that the charges exist, let alone like, like,

just on. So this is, but this is like what is going, this is what it's going to take to restore things to is like, people need to, you know, sweep to victory and then be like, and we're now putting the resources towards the find out portion of the

fuck around. Motherfuckers are going on timeout. Yeah. I'm raising. a toddler right now. Yeah. Who you got to, if you don't actually show that there are boundaries and reinforce them,

they will keep exploring the outer limits. Right. You know, because to them there are no consequences for their actions. And this is like, this is like, this is just human behavior. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Like this administration, they're doing shit like a child to be like, those charges don't even exist. Right. Mm-mm. If that's where they're at now and you go, okay, well, you know, and maybe you sweep back to power and you're like,

let's just like get things back in order. They have learned fuck all. So if right now it's those charges don't exist, they're going to be like, I'll kill you if you say these charges exist. Fucking trying me. That's where I'm at now. I'm three years old and I'm running the government. Yeah.

They, it's a, I mean, we're seeing like they're tooling up for the battle. You know, Trump is creating a slush fund for people who are prosecuted. for committing crimes. Yeah, on his behalf. Yeah, on his behalf. So we're... That's a job. He's taking it seriously.

He's taking his side of it seriously. The other side really, really needs to start thinking about doing that. Or maybe just, I don't even fucking do it. Don't even think about it. They're like, oh, do you hear that? We can think about it.

Yeah. Let's think about it. He gave us an out. He said we could start thinking about it. We're going to do that for eight years. We have a concept of a thing to think about it. All right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday morning.
