post game just break down like all right let's look at some tape boys let's see let's see where this could have gone a little bit this is just a joke you missed yeah okay i'll write that down all right yeah all right coach i got you all right well we're thrilled to have you here we are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment first yes a couple of things we're talking about. We're talking about the shifting polls. Polls are moving. Various pollsters are moving things. They're like North Carolina moved toward Harris election interference and just like get to it. So you got some updates on some voter suppression, voter interference, all that horrible shit. Donald Trump is blaming Biden and Harris for the assassination attempt. It's just interesting to see what shapes they can contort themselves into. And the latest is like, yes, so what? Like, we've all chainsawed the head of a whale off. Listen, who among us?

Exactly. Who among us? But these city folk think it's weird. Okay. All of that, plenty more. But first, prop, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

Oh man. Search engine search history has been really off the rails these days because I've had to, for the show, do a lot of fact checking, you know, for the two conferences. But I would say for myself myself it's been uh i just

been pricing fences like full dad energy because uh like my front yard fence is really starting to starting to be in that gangsta lean um yeah it was wood michael yeah yeah totally it was like i now like as much as i take care of my succulents and plant that I keep my yard right. And since I live in this like full Mexican neighborhood, like that's that's how the other men in my hood judge me is like, can you take care of his yard? So like, right, right. I get my yard right. But now my fence is looking like we're old man Willie's house. You know, so I'm like, like, stay away from there. Look at the face. So now I'm like, I finally understand like dad's spending stupid amount of money on power tools. Now, like I get it now.

Cause now I'm like, I don't have a third, not even like, I don't have, I don't have one 20th of the tools it's going to take to do this myself. Yeah. Right. You're going to spend a stupid amount of money on the fence.

If you don't spend a stupid amount of money on the fence if you don't spend a stupid amount of money on the tools. Exactly. On the tools. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm like, which- Dad cast.

Which makes, now it's a dad cast, which to me, it's like, I mean, yeah, you know, like I, I should, or which one of you, which one of these, which one of these old machismo men that are just watching me do this will let me borrow a tool? You know what I'm saying? Can you do like the helpless bit? Like, oh, I don't have a jigsaw. And someone's like, hey, let me help you with that, young man. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Please, please, please. Yeah. And all I have to do is just like, so I don't know if any of y'all, I'm sure you guys have brother-in-laws, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So my brother-in-law is like the guy that can i mean he can do everything like right you know he built a motorcycle to scratch like just moved his hot water like his

his hot water like tank he's like i don't like where it is so i just moved it you know just rewired the gas line to go he's that guy so he could do my hands busy you know yeah so he could do it but i have to listen to him tell me about how i can't do things myself for him to do it like that's the cost but like at this point that might be kind of you know the one thing though too is whenever you're looking for tools always check out the tool library. There's always a tool library. Like local, like local. Yeah. Most people have tool libraries.

So like there are times like I needed something. I'm like, wait, there's a tool library. So I don't have to buy it. And it's like. Take notes. It's a tool library. Yeah. LA County has a couple.

And does that include like power washer and shit like that? Or is it just like. You get like orbital sandals like you know laser levels like sewing machines like clamps there's like all kinds of stuff you can get from a tool library miniature nuclear fission reactor yeah yeah yeah for sure higgs boson particle accelerator yeah just have it back we are gonna need it by yeah not this tuesday we're not crazy just yeah yeah yeah whenever you have a chance yeah yeah but i'm trying to open up a black hole here and uh look if you can't open a black

hole by the seventh yeah give it back yeah exactly what is something you think is underrated i'm gonna say uh like the whole like be your own boss entrepreneur like that's overrated it's great it's just y'all like it too much like that's what i mean by overrated like this is not it's just like like like when somebody's like you have to have a malady about yourself to run for president right like there's something about you that actually thinks like oh you're you're the guy like you're the right right right you like me you understand what i'm saying like this yeah that like yeah you're gonna do it oh you go you gonna fix it right you know what i'm saying so i'm like there's something already wrong with you like you shouldn't want this right i don't want that stress at all so i feel like that about

like really just i mean i just got sent i got a sent an invoice for the coffee company that was from August of 2022 that I was like, yo, what the hell is this invoice? Like what is, what is, and, and why is it so much? Like, so I'm just like, okay, well let's, okay, let's max out the third credit card to figure out what this, you know what I'm saying? So just like the amount of sleep you, you lose. And for y'all to act like, but for people to actually think that like, oh, it's, you know, it's going to be tough. It's going to be hard, but like, there's nothing like being like your own boss.

I'm like, let me tell you what there's nothing like knowing in two weeks, you go get the same amount of money you got last two weeks. Right, right, right, right. Yeah. That's incredible. Takes a lot off your plate. Takes a lot off your plate, man. Right. Yeah. The boss thing. I mean, I get why the allure, like the allure of it until you do it. I was in this, I mean, I, like when I worked in politics and I was like, yeah, bro, I'll do a, I'll be a com, like do comedy. Yeah. I can make a little money on YouTube and things. And I'm like, I, I have nothing and I need to actually do something substantial.

I was like, really? I need healthcare. Yeah. At the end of the day. Yeah. It's, it's like, it's hard in America. Shout out to the people that are built for it. Cause like, I know people who are musicians and stuff too, that I used to play with who were like so dedicated to that, like lifestyle and their pursuit of their art.

Yeah. Like they really, they were really able to be like, no, I don't need anything except to like make my music and things like that. And like, they've endured a lot. And I'm like, I'm amazed at the resolve that people have, like when they go into those fields or entrepreneurs but yeah yeah see i feel like i feel like with music which i've done for most of my adult life is like i'm the product right so like it and for some reason in my head that makes more sense to me but when the product is this commodity right and then i'm like so if i'm like okay you want to pick up this coffee in this grocery store oklahoma i'm like wait're not going to fly me out there and pay me to come do this for you? Oh, I got to convince you. Like, that's not, that hasn't been, I'm like, oh, I'm not, I'm not the product. The product's the product. You know, so like, yeah, I like, stupid me was like, was in a hurry to get distribution and get wholesale for the cold brew.

And then I was like, hey, genius. Wholesalers pay half. Right. So I'm like, oh, where's my money at? It's like, right. They're not paying because I come from music. I'm like, no, go get distribution. It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, sir, sir. Yeah. So just very different.

Yeah. Welcome to the welcome to the school of experience. Yeah, I couldn't. I commend people who are amazing selling legal products. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. America. Then you care about stuff like that. Yeah. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated? Y'all probably said this before, but I really think getting older. I think aging is very underrated because I'm trying to tell you, like, day parties, they're great. You know, start at three, you home by seven or over by seven.

I'm in bed by nine. You sleep in more. You have a day the sleeping more like I have a day the next day. You have a day the next day. I feel like you could decide, you know, when you grown, you could be like, you know what?

I'm not going to drink today. Why? Because I have foresight. I know that tomorrow, you know what I'm saying? I'm going to regret it and I am going to make a decision. You get that when you older. I found, I think maybe three years ago was the complete like death of FOMO.

Like, oh, right. I stopped having FOMO. I was like, no, it's dope for you. Like, no, that's cool. Like, enjoy yourself. I am fine. Somebody asked me recently, like about artists that I've known forever that does, you know, pretty similar stuff. And they was like, yo, why have y'all why are y'all not engaged in any sort of civil war? Like, because he's doing all this stuff that you do. And I was like, literally, the thought has never crossed my mind. thought has never crossed my mind because i'm like because that's the homie and right right i like him and he does his thing and i don't and i do what do you like that's a weird move for

somebody to be like hey man how come you're not getting in his ass bro right i was like what hey why that guy right right yo fuck him right what? What? I was like, what? No. He's dope. Like, what are you talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, it was, like, realizing that, like, oh, that, oh, I guess that comes with age. Like, I'm supposed to be, I'm supposed to be jealous. Like, I'm supposed to come for his spot.

He's supposed to be coming for mine, I guess. But I'm like, nah. But that's such a, like think but yeah but like with age right you get you kind of lose that sort of zero-sum game mentality yes and like and then you sort of philosophically i definitely had to shift to like from a scarcity mentality to an abundance mentality to use them like hokey you know the woo-woo type shit but truly like if you believe everything is so scarce like you're gonna be in a very defensive position all the time and but truly like they're the resources are out there for

many things and i see that that manifests with people in a lot of different ways like where people respond to certain things where they believe things are super scarce or there is an abundance of things that we can share or that everyone can win and shit like that yeah the amount of times i'll be having to like coming up that now it's so obvious to me, but having to remind myself that people have more than one album downloaded on their phone. It's not single file. You can listen to multiple artists. Like just because they listen to this person don't mean they not go listen to you.

What are you talking about? Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Did this friend come to you in the form of a serpent and whisper it in your ear with elongated S's? Right. You shouldn't trust them, bro.

Get in his ass. Speaking of which, one of my homeboys, another homeboy sent me a meme. Speaking of which, another homeboy sent me a meme. It was a picture of Adam being handed fruit and wrapped around a serpent. And the guy was like, yo, studies show that 100% of men would accept food from a naked woman. And I'm like, yeah, in Adam's defense. In Adam's defense. I mean, we firmly blame Eve on this podcast.

Always have. I mean, that was the whole point of the story. Yeah. It's the one you gave me. Yeah. I gave you a rib? Yeah. See, that's why I don't share my ribs with you anymore. You see what I'm saying?

I'll have a rib. And yet, look what she did with that rib. Yeah. You know that rib. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah. Left a bunch of meat on the bone and everything. Am I right?

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.

President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent, revolutionary

underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. We're back.

We are. And the polls continue to seem like good news for the Democratic Party. Yeah. Yeah. And when it comes to Republicans' response to that, it is oftentimes to get with the fuckery, make with the fuckery, make with the voter fuckery now, not fucking yesterday, fucking now. I need that fuckery on my desk yesterday. Yeah, every state like, you know, there's like weird. I mean, not that one is going hand in hand, but clearly the same time a lot of races are getting more competitive yeah and you're seeing i mean not that there are reactions happening one and the other but it's it's it makes sense that the fuckery is intensifying in places where races are getting

you know much more competitive and even places where they're not just to ensure that certain states go red so like in texas right governor Governor Abbott announced on Monday that like roughly a million voters were purged from the voter rolls. So he's like to quote, stop illegal voting. Many experts were quick to point out that like there are already routine processes in place that already remove people from voter rolls, like whether they've died or if they've moved out of state or whatever. But there are a lot of people are also saying that this is merely just to stoke fears of a stolen election. That's why Governor Abbott is out there saying like, I had to get a million people. These people are voting illegally. He also claimed he had to move, remove some voters that weren't citizens. But that's hard to believe, given a scandal that

happened in 2019, when the then Secretary of State made similar claims about voters who turned out to just be naturalized citizens. They weren't illegally voting or non-citizens and then they had to resign over the the bullshit the racist attorney general had to resign yeah no this is the secretary secretary of state okay yeah yeah for doing for going on and like these people are illegal and they're like no they're not and what the fuck are you doing like and they got sanctioned, all kinds of shit. And the Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton, was also this week behind numerous raids targeting Latino voters in Texas from an article, quote, at six in the morning on August 20th, nine officers, some with guns, showed up at the home of a activist breaking down a door to raid the home of Manuel Medina, the chair of the Tejano Democrats.

All across the state, apparently police were raiding the homes of Hispanic voters. The head of Texas's LULAC, Gabriel Rosales, who was on TV, said recently, this is pure intimidation. When asked for an explanation, Ken Paxton said, without any irony, quote, secure elections are the cornerstone of our republic. secure elections are the cornerstone of our republic so we're talking about secure the election the legal voter intimidation getting people to have to lawyer up drain their funds like all this kind of bullshit because these are these are people who are running groups that are helping people get registered you know and and just doing the very just the basics of supposed democracy but they are being you, run up on by police. This is the, I mean, a few things.

First of all, I know personally a couple, like about four friends that was like, yeah, all of a sudden I'm not registered. It was like, like, that just was like, I don't know what just happened, but apparently I'm not registered no more. And, uh, and that live in Texas

that are like, I don't know, I was born in Fort Worth. I don't know what they talking about. You know what I'm saying? Right, saying right right but like these are the moments that make me wish that i in some ways worked for a campaign to like write like to do like copy like just to write copy for it because this would be if i were in the if i were running helping a democratic like election in texas this would be such a layup to like right you know i'm saying to just be like okay i guess you know this is this is the american way so you figure rather than having some points you just gonna

you just gonna beat us up for it like that's right that're going to do right now? That's your defense? Your defense is... It just seems like that's all you have to do if you're running for your... I don't know, guys. I came here to give you a reason why you should vote for me. That's what I thought we was doing.

And they're kicking down my door. Be ashamed if something happened to your door. No, you already kicked it down. It already happened. That threat actually doesn't work. I'm like, yo, I mean, y'all really do believe in like 1776 because like that's the way we used to vote was like, you know,

a mob would come to your house and drag you out and be like, you know, vote for the wigs or we burn your tavern. Like that's used to be how we did it. I thought we was past this, you know vote for the wigs or we burn your tavern like that's used to be how we did i thought we was past this you know no no but again and this is also part of like ken paxton's legacy as attorney general because if you remember in 2020 there was this whole thing he prevented people in harris county where houston is and a lot of democratic voters are uh from using mail-in ballots when the pandemic was raging and people were like waiting hours in line because again they're hoping like yeah well you know force people to wait in line

and maybe this will they won't they won't actually vote or maybe that can suppress the numbers and he was even on steve bannon's podcast recently saying like he was like taking credit for texas being red because he did that he's like if i didn't do that those like some hundred thousand votes you know trump may have trump may the outcome may he may have lost texas so you never know that could just be him you know obviously pumping his own shit up but he's proud of the fact that he does that kind of shit you could just say yeah exactly you could just say okay so worse so what you say is and correct me if i'm wrong i don't want to put words in your mouth but what you say is if people vote you gonna lose yeah right right so the way i win so the way i win yeah is i have to make sure that they don't vote you know what i mean we call them

illegal when you say people uh i'm gonna be a little more specific oh but they're but but they're not illegal but we have to say that so people we get to say the word kind of clutch their pearls when i do say that didn't they got it didn't they like stop except they had to like shut down they didn't have to but they chose to shut down a bunch of like drive-through mail-in ballot centers yeah and i feel like they had to get like an injunction to like try and keep them open it was it was it was a whole mess it was always breaking down along like oh wouldn't you know it the six conservative supreme court justices are all in favor of like making it harder to vote yeah right yeah yeah so i mean that's the whole project for them yeah the political project is

just to obviously just like they don't have the numbers so it's just so mask off from voting yeah yeah it's so mask off and it happened in 2020 but because biden won i feel like we kind of memory a whole bit but like yeah yeah just like like right before amy coney barrett was confirmed the supreme court handed down a decision that prevented ballots that arrive after Election Day in the state of Wisconsin from being counted. Even if they were like they just changed the rule. Yeah. The timing of it. Yeah.

Like right before Election Day. Yeah. Yeah. That's just how like how do y'all say like I just feel like I don't know how you're saying this with a straight face. You're saying, OK, we need less people to vote and we need to make it harder for you because if it's harder and it's less of y'all and we're going to win. Exactly. That's been the game plan. And it doesn't matter. I mean, the writing's been on the wall for a long time. That's why before, like in the 90s, they were so panicked because they saw how the demographics were changing in the United States. They're like, wait, there's going to be a lot of brown faces in this country that we can't contend with their numbers.

So we'll have to create some kind of moral panic about immigration or abortion, whatever it is, to try and like to slow the, you know, changing demographics of the country. So like in other states, right, North Carolina, the GOP is asking a court to purge over 250,000 voters because the voter registration database does not have a driver's license or social security number linked to a person in their database. So this again, this, and so they're asking a court to do this while we're like, you know, very, very close to election day, but it's all bullshit because as people who work on like the actual election boards in the state point out that like if a person doesn't provide those things when they register they would have to show id when they go to vote it's not just like all right yeah we'll take your word on it yeah there are protections in place to ensure because this is all bullshit there's no this idea that people are illegally voting is fucking bullshit but they have to keep

seeding this story over and over to keep people's suspicions up because again like we said yeah it's the only way to kind of have the energetic foundation to do something pretty fucked up you know it's just so weird because i'll be like y'all ain't never y'all ain't never voted like y'all y'all don't remember you know like obviously because this is the year of our lord 2024 i'd vote early because why would i why wouldn't i it come in the mail i'm just gonna do it but right when you did have to go it just of course i showed them my id like you don't yeah you don't you have to show the ID like I just don't understand. Exactly. But again, it's meant and that's why most people don't also because they're also bought in on the same thinking. They don't care. They just like, yeah, that does happen.

And they completely ignore their own experience. Yeah. Just sort of be like, yep, whatever the TV is telling me. And then yesterday, Charlie Cook, the god of election forecasting, north carolina to now sort of be like a plus minus zero to now favoring harris over trump so again they see what's happening elsewhere similar efforts are underway in swing states like arizona and wisconsin and all of this is happening while like voter registration data is showing that the registrations are surging compared to 2020, like 175% increase in voter registration for young black women, 100, almost 150% increase in young Latina voters. This is this year, this July 21st versus 2020, this same period, like who was registering, who was registering and what numbers.

Yes. And 98 percent of black women and 98 percent increase in black women that have registered to voters. An overall 85 percent increase in black American voters and 83 percent increase among young women. So there's just a ton. They're just like, fuck, these aren't these aren't the people that are going to vote for us. Damn it! Yeah. Again, a reminder, make sure that you are registered to vote. If you live in a state where shit is all fucked up and you're planning on voting, just make sure that they haven't purged your ass. And we probably don't have to tell you this,

but definitely do keep an original copy of your birth certificate on you at all times. I have one folded up in my wallet. I keep that thing on me and by that thing I force me my original birth certificate. Absolutely. And it's all fucking, all the ink is faded. You know, like an old receipt just looks blank

after a while. Yeah, like my vaccine card after a little while. That shit was blank. Just the crease. Yeah, here's my vaccine card. Oh, yeah, when they put the little sticker on of, like, dose you got, they're like, sir? You're like, just trust me, man.

What the fuck is this? Look, man, it's the card, bro. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The ink sucks, you know? It's the fucking ink. Yeah. Those numbers are very encouraging, though.

And, like, the people who pay attention to this shit seem to be like, this is really bad for Donald Trump. Yeah, it's crazy to watch even some of the some of his like just that weird universe still kind of be like, hey, bro, like, I don't know if y'all know, but we finna lose. Right. I don't know if y'all notice it. I don't know what the hell you talk about with the, you need to stop talking about that and start talking about this because like, just even them being like. To that point, Ann Coulter's like, yeah, Trump, maybe because you won't shut the fuck up. Yes.

That's what the, where their bank, she said that shit about him. Like, that's why they want the mics hot. Yes. Because you don't know how to shut the fuck up. Yes. Like, yo. Like, listen, help me help you. the fuck up it's like yo like listen help me help you i do wonder though if i do wonder if if if uh jd finna get drew bled sold out this mug like i'm replaced by rk so i've i've been researching this

because that is a real fear for me because it it feels like the sort of big swing that could do something like they need a big, they need a big swing. They need a big swing right now. And I think, like, legally, it is too late to actually change the balance. Oh, word. Okay. I think August 7th or something. The window closed back in early August, I think.

He's going to be like, we're going to have a three-person. He's going to do all three. I'm going to have them both. I want both. Hop on the Triz ticket. We're here, baby. You're like, yo, what is going on? But yeah, I think they do need something.

At this point, he needs to come out with a new hairdo or something. A fucking big wig or something. I don't know. You don't think the Trump cards are going to do it? No, no, no. He needs to get a face tattoo, like Takashi69 or some shit.

Just figure out something. Hey, amazing transition. Thank you, Prop. He knows that the assassination attempt, that was where it kind of peaked for his campaign. Then he had sort of a low energy convention right after

that it was like the weekend after and he picked jd vance like right after it it was just it just it fell apart really quickly on him and so he keeps going back to the hits you know yeah he's like a you know micro version of the macro trend of famous people who just can't move on from the peak of their fame so michael jordan keeps wearing baggy bootcut jeans like just you know whether they're in style or not because you know it's the 90s every everywhere he goes it's still the 90s don't go right he's donald trump is stuck around the assassination he opened his interview with elon musk talking about that shit and now he is making it kind of a core part of his message by saying in an interview with dr phil and he's also like made reference to this in past speeches that the assassination attempt against him

which somehow by the way only happened last month. Wow. Oh, that was July 13th or something? That was mid-July. Oh, my God. Not even the beginning of July. Like, mid-July. Oof.

I mean, it might as well be the Kennedy assassination right now. Right. It's so far away. Yeah. But he's saying that was actually the assassination attempt was actually Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's fault because they weren't too interested in my health and safety. which reportedly the Secret Service did complain about a lack of personnel in the past two years.

But since the attack, agents from the Biden detail have been diverted to Trump. So he's like, here, man, you take him. He called him immediately after. And Trump was like, oh, my God, he was so nice. He was like asking me how I was and was complimenting how I like moved my head in a way that avoided the shot that was pretty cool and yeah i mean i think probably part of the issue is that there's never been a ex-president who is as constantly in the public eye and as controversial as this mother i mean there's never been a person who's as controversial and as in the public eye for as long as he's been. So, yeah, they had to go outside of protocol and shift resources, which they did after the assassination attempt. The Secret Service, not great at their job, it turns out, in some cases.

Yeah. Armed law enforcement, not good at their job news at 11 let's let's put that everywhere the thing that's wild it's like to your point right like most presidents they fuck off like to their lair because they know they got away with it they're like yo bro i did some war crimes bro just shut the bro i don't exist just don't fucking talk about me anymore i'm gonna buy an aquifer yeah i'm buying an aquifer in mexico so i have a bunch of clean water resources i'm gonna paint my little paintings okay don't talk to me i don't exist anymore forget about me nope don't look at me forget

about me you're looking at me you're looking at me i i i i i i i'm not here i'm not here how much how much is it for me to come speak for 15 minutes okay so the gross national product of a small country word i, I got you. Okay, we're good. Wait, hold on. Oh, Spotify wants to give me a deal? To get out the house? I'm not getting out the house unless it's the gross national

product of Budapest. Right, right. Like, George W. Bush killed over a million people. And I bet his Secret Service detail is like a retired cop like it's like at the end of like uh no country for old men like that right who is with him is like a couple people you know but like trump yeah trump trump is a special case he also suggested and this is one of the great times when you can tell he's being fed information because it's coming from like a different word set than he is working with.

He said that the would-be assassin was inspired by Democrats rhetoric. Oh, word? Uh-huh. Yeah, sure. Blaming it on JJ rhetoric. Right? Oh, shit. Yeah, I feel like it is like if you're like a teacher grading a paper and you come across like this one.

Hold on. What the fuck? Hey, come here. Rhetoric? Hey, Donald, come here. What does rhetoric mean? Yeah. Spell it real quick.

I'm just going to ask you. What does rhetoric mean? R-E-D-E-R-I-C-K. Rhetoric. Rhetoric. Got it. When my oldest daughter was like a sixth grader, it was very clear that she's just not doing her homework.

So I'm trying to explain to my wife. I was like, baby, she's just not doing it. Like, it's not. Oh, right. She's not even doing it. She's just not doing it. I'm like, and then, so she's in the the car and she goes, and my daughter from the back seat goes, yeah, I think it's the curriculum.

And then my wife was like, yeah, yeah. Cause my, my wife's a PhD. She's, she's an educator. So she was like, yeah, there is a problem with California curriculum. I was like, hold up. What does curriculum mean? Yeah. She was like, I don't know.

I just heard you guys say it, but that's the right they're just lunges man they know what you want to hear you don't know what that means like right she's just not doing the work babe yeah yeah it's like that weird uh jayden and willow smith interview from like seven years ago where they were like talking about all kinds of weird yeah yeah philosophical shit they're like y'all are fucking 12 years old yeah what the fuck are you saying right now but yeah yeah you don't know what rhetoric means bro yeah by the way he did not say shit about assault rifles or gun control the thing that is actually to blame for the the history of many assassination attempts and shootings in this country i'm gonna throw in here racism let me tell you why i'm gonna throw in here racism let me tell you i like i'm glad you asked because what's the

name of that city in pennsylvania that they was at butler farm butler but it was the butler farm show grounds so look we're in butler pennsylvania of course there's a little white boy walking around with a gun of course there is we're in butler pennsylvania of course he gonna climb up on the roof well huckleberry finn had ass and nobody had nothing to say about it because y'all don't suspect little white boys you're saying the whole time they're like huh there's somebody there not until the boy got the got the whole ass president in his scope was y'all like wait a minute right so i'm just saying let anybody else walk around butler pennsylvania with

a with a whole assault rifle you know i'm saying i'm like you couldn't even got out the car the fact that y'all was like of course he walking around here all open with a gun and climbing on the roof because that's a little white boy in butler pennsylvania that's everybody over there so to me i'm like yeah that's what y'all get for not assuming that that little boy dangerous yeah not that's what y'all get you understand people yeah but people with a gun can be dangerous they be dangerous like white white kid with a gun that's kyle written that's kyle written house and i. And look, person with a good... Chubby little cheeks. I'm just saying, your little chubby, little cute, little eighth grader might be a murderer. Might be.

That's all. In fact, on camera, doing it. With no second thought. Just like, I just like, I just, y'all wasn't going to stop me. I just walked right in here. Yeah. But he, Trump just doubled down on his opposition to gun regulations. And this was all happening.

I forget if I said this up top in an interview with Dr. Phil for some fucking reason. And shockingly, Dr. Phil did not push back on this. What about gun regulation? Right. He was getting the home runs with the pop culture interviews man just i think he also even people i think he doubled down on the uh like just vote for me once and you won't have to vote again shit too in that interview it had

all kinds there's one part where i'm pretty like dr phil was like hey man after that shit like do you hug your kids extra like hard now and like like Donald Trump doesn't even say yes to that. He just like goes on and talks about some other shit. I just want to play this because it's so Trumpy. We're like Donald, like Dr. Phil's trying to underhand him. Like, and here's your shot to also sound like a dad. Remember that? Because remember what Tim Walz did? This is him talking, just being asked, do you hug your kids extra hard after that?

Did you hug your kids extra hard? I mean, has it changed you? A lot of people ask me and a lot of people say like, have you developed any fear of, you know, doing this? Like, cause you look, being president's a dangerous job. It's much more dangerous than a race car driver statistically false but okay go on absolutely not bro but yeah if you think about it just go up and down the list so you have 46 and numerous uh left early or got hit it's a very dangerous job. It's a, I never realized how dangerous, but anyway. Oh my God.

I'm like, did you hug your kids? I'm basically a race car driver. I fucking rule. I'm sick. I'm sick with it, dude. Do you love your kids?

I've got a more dangerous job than a guy who goes in volcanoes when they're erupting. Cause you know how to race. What was the question about my kids? I don't fucking give a fuck. Cause you know, it's probably one of the most, right when you think about the number there's only been 40 how many 46 46 total but they're they're ready to be the 47th and four of them have been yeah

shot three three to death in office yeah Yeah. Four have been killed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Abe Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and JFK. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, JFK got killed? Damn. That's fucked up.

No, dude. He showed up in Dealey Plaza last week. We saw him. He's fine. He's fine. He's fine. He's hilarious. Yeah. I can agree with the statistics, but it's just funny that he's like.

I'm like, well, race car drivers don't have arm security for life, bro. Like, just let's just start there. What's the secret service for race car drivers? And could I just get you to give me a moment of vulnerability where you seem human right now right i'm actually fucking rock star did you hear how how kind of like discombobulated he was with that answer you know like dude it's like he was saying like it was almost like he was thinking the question was gonna be something else so he's like i just wanted to get these bars off and i was going to be something else. So he was like, I just wanted to get these bars off. And I was trying to find the question that was going to get these bars off.

And can I make this question about that? He legitimately, like Dr. Phil asked about his kids and he asked himself a different question. He was like, other people ask me, am I scared? Guess what? I don't feel fear. Because that's what you're asking me. You're asking me about my children, but what you mean is, am I afraid to die?

That's what you're really asking. Right. Exactly. No, sir. I'm asking you if it gave you perspective about how life was precious. Yeah, I got a lot of perspective. Enjoy the family that you have now. That's what I'm asking.

Yeah. And to answer your question, yeah, I'm pretty tough pretty tough probably one of the toughest guys you've ever met what all right bro look at this card right here look at me i'm dancing in an iron man suit i look fucking rad i'm doing my i'm doing my little two-step you know what i mean they call that the trump shuffle let's take a quick break.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.

President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

And we're back. We're back. And guys, we did a couple AKs up top about RFK Jr. Sawing a whale's head off, putting it on top of his car, driving around with the insides of a whale's brain just oozing all over the fucking place.

Just Avatar Part 2. We're just having fun. Exactly. It's actually very normal, according to the Daily Wire. According to the Daily Wire, it's actually very normal according to the daily wire according to the wire it's the future because exactly that's how you cure alzheimer's you know it's the most american thing you can do exactly uh but i mean like i think now that rfk has been like fully subsumed by the maga borg like he can now enjoy the shitty protection like offered by right wing. So the latest whale juice story has inspired a wonderful defense from Michael Knowles from the Daily Wire. And he starts off his piece like just saying like, oh, well, ever since RFK left the Dems,

he's now suddenly some kind of gross weirdo who sexually harasses a babysitter or like steals a dead bear cub body or being fucking weird. He like uses this whole framing to then act as if rushing to a beach to get first dibs on chainsawing a whale head. Like some kind of fucked up Black Friday doorbuster is the most like normal American shit ever. And he's like, so what's wrong with that? I don't get the big deal. So this is his passionate, like what's wrong with y'all defense? Yeah.

What? It's a funny argument because it's like, ever since people have been looking at him, they've been noticing him do the weirdest shit ever. Like, you know, it was just like, yeah,

well, we're looking at him and he keeps reviewing being like yes i saw the whale's head off yeah you know you keep bringing you keep bringing this uh your new little boo thing around the crib and every time this this person just say the weirdest stuff and i don't understand why you don't see this okay Okay, here we go. And a serious country would commit RFK to an insane asylum. What's wrong with this? The headline makes it seem weird.

RFK Jr. once chainsawed off a whale's head and took it home. I don't know. It was a beached whale. It was already dead. Whales are cool. And RFK Jr. is a hunter and an outdoorsman. What the fuck?

What the hell are you saying, bro? It was already dead. are cool this sounds like a fucking tim robinson bit dude like it was already dead whales are cool this is why you need like this is why you need a black uncle to be like boy if you don't sit down somewhere man shut your dumb ass up just from the back of the room you just hear over the part like it was already dead he goes oh my god it was already dead whatever but then he's like but the dude's an outdoorsman this is this the defense continues rfk jr's into falconry he hunts there's another story about him like tossing bear carcasses into his car this is going to be really scandalous

for cosmopolitan liberals who've never handled a gun and who've probably never even taken a hike into nature but this isn't that weird people hunt it's cool in fact this makes me think more highly of of rfk's environmentalism when i grew up i i assumed he was an environmentalist in the along the lines of the people who throw soup on ban okay there it is right yeah my jake i'm like okay give me okay this is not that weird okay give me 20 examples give me 20 other stories where somebody chopped the head off a whale that was beached okay never mind give me 10 stories oh where you can't do okay give me three stories okay you can only give me one huh but it's not weird yeah exactly yeah exactly he's just an outdoorsman well and also it's hunting it's normal that's not hunting no that's okay that is you know

what i mean what did he do with the whale head like i still want to know that right but yeah i i will agree falconry is cool yeah somebody who can somebody who can hunt with a hawk like as his partner is cool yeah that person does not need to pick up bear cubs off the side of the road and then like transport them to central park or chop the head off a whale and like have to tow it oozing like brain matter that's back to the fucking city it was okay it wasn't brain matter it was inner the amount of bacteria and just and blood-borne pathogens that you are passing as somebody that's a hunter and you know who else does falcons big boy from outcasts and you know what he ain't never chopped off no whale's head right cut to like a new story i know right big daddy fest he's really out here chopping the whale's head off but like damn it too is like yeah i think i think hummingbirds are cool but i don't go searching

for like their little dead bodies so i can like eat them later or whatever the fuck. And also like is subjecting your kids to having like rotting whale innards, like splash on them a love language that I'm missing. Just feel. So he's an outdoorsman miles. Yeah. When he says that shit about like, oh man, he's like liberals. I never even go been on a hike or been anywhere.

It's like, bro, have you been to any liberal quote city that has any kind of hiking that's all i do have you been there yeah it's all these people are hiking that's it's they're out there a lot but again i don't know if that connects either so like this constant like framing of like agrarian versus urban is getting so out of hand like in order to normalize this shit. Like, we're getting takes like, stealing dead bear cubs and chainsawing whale heads is normal. If your kid cries, if your kid cries because he loves you, you are a shitty father, because that's normal for us non-city folk. It's like, what are you even saying? My man, my man, they just, just the idea that, yeah, it's so ridiculous.

I'm also wondering, with rfk fans where i'm like boy i thought he was your anti-establishment dude like he's right the system anti-establishment and the man literally sold out for a job and y'all don't y'all don't think nothing about that that he just gonna he just sold out like he's he sold out right like yeah yeah this is the definition. It's such a weird fit. This is the definition of selling out. That's what he did. Right.

That's what it means. Truly. Yeah. I'm putting my fucking whole, I'm putting my whole, I'm putting my sword down to join you. If you give me this job, I'll stop doing it.

That's selling out. That's what that means. Like, right. Yeah. Conservatism is such a weird fit for his fans yeah and he's such a weird fit for conservatives

so bizarre because yeah you're like here's another pretzel I have to turn myself into to defend this dude that five minutes ago you was like he batshit crazy yeah but they're both lying to themselves and claiming to be anti-establishment absolutely that i guess that's where the overlap is there is yeah well prop what

He was like, there's another, you know, what's black as hell.

You know, what's black as hell is going in, going in the house and turning off the lights in the rooms that ain't nobody in right when you're a guest somebody else's house and guilty cuz guilty homie i'm like ain't nobody in here i'm turning off y'all lights yeah we have our parents voices ringing yep absolutely are you paying the electrical bill? Yeah. Nope. Turn off all the lights. You do it when you leave a bathroom, like a public restroom. Totally. Turn off the light.

Yeah. Turn off the light. As if nobody's in there. Or you go to the breakers because there's no light switch for people to turn it off. So you can be like, nope. Black as hell. Ain't nobody even in this part of the room. Gotcha. Ain't nobody even over here. Yeah. And you better leave that kitchen light on, though. Over the stove. That's the only one that don't count.

Miles, where can people find you? Is there a work in media you've been enjoying? Oh man, there's actually been a lot of media I've been enjoying, but first you can find me at miles of gray on Twitter and Instagram. You can find Jack and I on the basketball podcast. Miles and Jack,

I'm at boosties. And I'm also on for 20 day fiance talking 90 day fiance. There's a man. Okay. I got, I got three. Uh, first one at prawn underscore meat, uh, tweeted whenever I get envious because someone I know scored a big career win and I take a deep breath and remind myself that although I deserve it more

and would do a better job, they probably got it by nefarious means that I would never stoop. That's how you keep it together uh another one from at cobra stan guy tweeted enough time has passed 9-11 should be a chance to get some tremendous savings i got that one too um and then the last one who is at who is fabo said nah like rock and gospel are the same thing put any praise and worship instrumental on underneath this and church is going up. And the guy put on like this gospel music under Zach DeLaRocca from Rage Against the Machine doing Killing in the Name of and just listening to it.

Like, this is so wild. Oh my God. They use force. Oh my God. They use force. Oh my God. What the deciders have decided you must do. This is really messing me up right now. You took me out. Yes.

I'm very uncomfortable right now. Yeah, that was amazing. Yeah, that's about right. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. Tweet I've been enjoying in addition to the idea that we need to have 9-11 sales now. We need to save. We're close. Come on.

Just let it make it happen. Skylar Higley tweeted, hey, honey, remember the conversation we had earlier this week? Well, everyone on Reddit says you're the asshole. That's got to be a weird conversation. Oh, my God. Yeah. There's that one. And there's the other one.

AIO. Am I overreacting? Yeah. It has a similar thing where you can tell. I feel like because sometimes people write those posts like, help me settle a debate. Yeah. And you're like, whoa, you are clapping back to somebody with this. Yeah.

You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. You can find us on Twitter at Daily Zeitgeist. We're at The Daily Zeitgeist on Instagram. We have a Facebook fan page and a website, DailyZeitgeist.com, where we post our episodes and our footnotes. We link off to the information that we talked about in today's episode, as well as a song that we think you might enjoy. Miles, what is a song that you think the people might enjoy?

I think it's all about, look, I'm just trying to keep my musical vibrations very relaxed, very calm. There's this track from a band. I can't find much background on them. They're called Maeve and Dave. And I think this track must be from like the early 80s, late 70s or something. And based on the compilation albums, I've seen their music pop up on other things. I'm going to wager that

they're from the Caribbean, West Indies, somewhere like that. But this track is called You Are Delicious. And it's just such a nice laid back, like, like, like, I don't know. I don't know how to describe it like soft rock, but much funkier because it's obviously got that flavor to it. And I picture it as like loading music for a very nice ethereal video game or something like that, but with flavor. So this is Maeve and Dave with You Are Delicious. Yes, you are. We will link off to that in the footnotes. The Daily Zeitgeist is a production of iHeartRadio.
