Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Trend's Eyes Like a Doll's Eyes. Excuse me. Trends eyes like a doll's eyes. Excuse me. That is a Jaws ref from Killer Clowns from Outer Sky.

And this is the episode where we talk about what's trending. I'm Jack. That's Miles. And here's what's trending on this monday afternoon uh jay kush baby jerry kushner you know i'm saying smoking on kush not that backyard bush you know what time it is he's out here on fox and friends doing the devil's work of just screaming out some racist bullshit about why trump is better for black people again um and this one particularly got a lot of people just, I don't know, everything he says is upsetting,

but we'll just, we'll listen to this take on his very specific answer as to why black people should embrace the policies of Donald Trump. I think we've seen in a lot of the, the, the black community, which is mostly Democrat is that president Trump's policies are the policies that can help people break out of the problems that they're complaining about. But he can't

want them to be successful more than they want to be successful. And what you're seeing throughout the country now is a groundswell of support in the black community because they're realizing that all the different bad things that the media and the Democrats have said about President Trump are not true. And so they're seeing that he's actually delivered. He's put up results that a lot of people want to get on board to start working. I'm just going to cut that off there. I mean, you know, that's the problem is we don't want it bad enough to be equal. And the things we're complaining about. Complaining about. Holy shit. I mean, wow. Please just put that in a commercial and play that all day, every day yeah over all these uh black lives that have been

lost uh over all the just lack of opportunity for people bunch of complainers yeah so yeah that's that's the whole deal and like you know if you look uh donald trump has the policies to to for y'all to shut the fuck up stop complaining you see that's the problem you're all complaining and honestly that's the thing if anything i think trump wants black people to do better more than black people themselves want and that is truly the issue yeah that's how good this man is he wants equality even more it's the jerry seinfeld joke where he says that like the first class flight attendant closes the curtain and is like, maybe if you'd worked a little bit harder. That's his explanation, is that people just need to work harder. And he, who was given everything he has on a silver platter and still managed to find himself

$500 million in debt at the start of this presidency uh he's the guy who who should tell us all about working hard and pulling yourself up by the bootstraps yeah big kush the whole thing is wild too because like you see that they're definitely courting black supporters you know and he he is gaining a little bit more support in the black community than uh and while losing white supporters but you can tell man like we talk about tomorrow's episode like you got like lil pump and walk a flock of flame coming out and shit it looks like a old racist white person's idea of popping rappers that you need to get to sway the culture. It's like, if we get Lil Pump with his cotton candy dreads

and Joaquin, Waka Flocka, then they'll come around to what the truth is. So it's, yeah, it's a very, very interesting time. The New York Post endorsed Donald Trump. Thank God. So finally, the little more evenness uh for the endorsement race uh i think it's every endorsement versus the new york post uh in terms of that also the taliban and uh okay i forget there's one other one. Fox News. Oh, yeah.

Did Louis C.K. really endorse Trump? No, I mean, who knows at this point? I mean, it's 2020. Anything could happen. Yeah. Most death has come out to support. And I'm like, damn, really? You? Huh.

Okay, Yassine Bey. I guess I'll think about it. Rubio is trending. Why is he trending? I actually don't know. Because there's's so this is the thing we talk all the time about how don't ignore these motherfucking polls because as much as there are people energized for to to vote trump out of office i i firmly believe there are just as

many people who know that this is a really good shot of having a really fucked up american nightmare that certain i think uh racist white voters are seeking but through all that like the act the actions of a lot of like republican politicians pundits who are like a little more on the inside they're all being like no no i had nothing to do with this i don't even know that guy you know whether it's the comments of like the john cornons and ben sasse's of the world to even political pundits, like even on Twitter, this guy, Josh Jordan, he has he put this tweet up that has been getting a lot of like conversation on conservative Twitter. I've noticed. And his tweet is if Marco Rubio won the nomination in 2016, he almost certainly beats Hillary Clinton in that scenario. Where is he polling today? I'd guess he would be at least a slight favorite, and he would have confirmed three Supreme Court justices,

just as Trump did. Hope it was worth it. And so a lot of people are now going in on this person. We're saying, well, Rubio wouldn't have got the same kind of blue-collar support in 2016, et cetera, et cetera. But they're starting to do this thing. We're like, see, y'all should have voted voted ruby i was saying this the whole time now you're gonna take that l and you know so i don't know like it's just a lot of interesting conversation

because on one hand while i believe that there's a full rat fuckery campaign engaged right now across the country there's also a lot of even all that, there isn't the same sort of cockiness that people had in 2016 that maybe they knew had a little bit more information or insight into how some of these races would play out. But I don't know. It's a strange time for everyone in politics right now. I do wonder if there were stories like this before 2016, but we just don't remember them because all the stories after 2016 were like wow trump proved all the libcucks and the media wrong and so it just like the energy wasn't there to like kind of point out who got like because didn't what was his name what one

of the big republicans like told him that he should step down from the nomination after the excess hollywood tape so there were like people who were yeah uh acting as if you know he had no shot before before 2016 so yeah at the very least it's gonna we will really see the extent of how many people are really on that diet of like american white supremacy yeah um and that that will we'll figure that out in lay i mean if the the actual votes are counted what that looks like but the funny part is why is donald trump courting votes from black men when you are doing everything you can to disenfranchise their vote it might not be a winning strategy mr president um unless unless you're also making

it easy for everybody to vote fuck it um so i don't know that'd be amazing i would i would love it if he believed his own hype that much that he uh stopped voter suppression to let right because he's like i honestly i'm i i feel it coming in the air tonight. Yeah. I got their votes. I'm low pump. He's going to deliver the White House. Like, what? Okay. You've been hanging out with Kanye too much. World Series, a bunch of World Series names were trending over the weekend.

What a roller coaster for Dodger fans. Dave Roberts' name was trending too. Oh, boy. Decision-making. Yeah. But, you know, just on the heels of me being like, man. Dave Roberts' name was changed too. Oh, boy. Decision-making. Yeah. But, you know, just on the heels of me being like, man, Dave Roberts. Shout out to him.

Coming through big. Yeah, it's, yeah, there's a lot. It's a very nail-biting series for sure. Yeah, Dodgers up 3-2 now after blowing game four in the ninth inning and just spectacular, uh, depressing, awful fashion.

Um, yeah. And yeah, now, now they look, now they're one game away. Um, yeah.

Mookie. After we talked about Mookie bets, uh, on the show, trout gang came through. Yeah. Not, not happy.

And also he hasn't been playing that great in the world series well and also look of just just so you know angels fans i'm a fucking angelino so that's some oc shit that i don't really fuck with and i don't care if they're called the los angeles angels of anaheim explain that shit to me right uh so yes i'm terribly biased and i will ignore someone who may on paper be one of the greatest baseball players of all time that's just how sports works family um but yeah i shout out to my homegirl ally who's a big angels fan you know i know she loves him so yeah uh we just but you know we stay focused on our own players but yeah i think with this whole the world series man i yes when they won last night i knew when the game had ended because i had to like i had to

i was like in the middle of taking trash out because people started shooting guns again yeah dodgers or dodgers fans hit a little different you know yeah in l.a especially when you're a little bit no matter what part of the city you're in uh like i think because it's also cathartic especially because game four was such a fucking nightmare. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like through osmosis being a Dodgers fan. And that was, that was, it was very nice to, to have them come back and win game five,

which is another thing that's trending. Very nice. Oh yeah. Because Kazakhstan has. Kazakhstan. Fuck. I knew I was saying that wrong as i was saying uh kazakhstan uh is leaning is steering into the uh spin and they are you said it like a character in a kazakhstan i did just watch it so maybe maybe i internalized that through osmosis kazakhstan is uh doing a tourism ad that's you like taking the very nice and using it as a

like slogan uh but like they have they have a guy who's just like an american tourist who's like tasting something and he's like very nice and oh wow very strange very nice very nice uh but it does look like a beautiful country um i did not believe uh that it was like that muddy village that they always show but um oh right right yeah yeah uh anyways those are the things that are trending today um we hope you guys are doing well uh stay inside stay safe wash your hands wear a mask don't do nothing about white supremacy we'll talk to you all tomorrow.
