Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of You Trend Do That on television. that one courtesy of you current to do that on television on the Discord. Self-reference. Because it is their birthday. Happy birthday.
Starting point is 00:03:08 You-kerns do that on television. Setting a dangerous precedent now. I know. People doing self-referencing. Only you current to do that on television. They've had a big year and we're giving it. Yeah. What did they say?
Starting point is 00:03:22 I don't know. They've just had a bunch of A.K.A.s. Oh, I thought they were like trying to make a K. So like, hey, I had a big year. You know what I mean? And maybe we could respect the birthday. Closed a lot of deals. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:36 I got top salesperson at my company. You know what I mean? They're throwing a pizza party later. Like trying to impress a parent. Yeah. No, I just, I appreciate what you do. And also I was unprepared for this morning's trends. We appreciate everyone.
Starting point is 00:03:56 You know what? We appreciate all you. Maybe you can sneak in a birthday reference. There's your birthday wish for all of y'all for the whole year. Well, there you go, everyone, because you couldn't do that. Just took it for everybody. That's right. Is there a birthday today?
Starting point is 00:04:09 This is one of my best friends' birthdays today. Yeah, it's a good birthday, duh. You got any best friends in this era? Because aren't you all a lot of your best friends? All my best friends are, and my wife are clustered around June 18th, 19th, and 20th. Okay. Yeah, that's my, that's my time. And then all the cracked writers were early January, I believe.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Those were the two things that we just like realized you're like, oh, all of you have the same birthday. Yeah. Anyways, my name's Jack O'Brien. That over there is Mr. Miles. Grace. And this is where we're going to tell you a little bit what's trending. I'm a little low energy, a little low edge today.
Starting point is 00:04:55 You're touching, guys. He's touch and go right now. He might not make it to the main. I was at the hospital with my nine-year-old and then might have picked up something that he was having, which seems unpleasant. But the house is a triage unit at the moment. Oh, nice. But I got to, we got to do these. We got to do these trends.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Got to get these trends to people. Got to get these trends off. Yeah. And you guys might have a substitute teacher in the main show. And you'll know with the disjointed intro where I go, what's going on? I go, wait, Jack normally says that. Hey, wait a second. I always fuck up the outro.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Because the outro's tough. I'm always like, wait, I always do it out of order. I'm like, do I introduce my? And then look, and then it just becomes free form jazz, baby. But whatever, it's trends now. And I'll never know. I'm like a teacher who's out. I don't go review the work of the sub.
Starting point is 00:05:52 I just come back and assume everything. I'm back. You're like, all right, everything's in a great place. Doesn't smell like burning in here. Yeah. Good. Kids all seem to be here and alive. What's going on in the world?
Starting point is 00:06:03 We got some more of these special elections. Yeah. Very quite special. These are the, again, you know, anecdotally, historically, these special elections typically give a very good idea of what midterms look like. And just generally, every special election we've seen, the Democrats have flips up to this point, I think, like, 29 seats or something, the Republicans have not flipped a single seat.
Starting point is 00:06:29 So for all the, I'm sure the D triple C, they are loving this right now, being like, guys, we don't have to do shit. We don't got to do shit. It's the Nancy Pelosi playbook. You just sit back, let him fuck up and watch the votes roll in. Well itchy, well it's he. Look who came crawling back on their bellies. They're not wrong, it seems like.
Starting point is 00:06:51 I mean, maybe they are. I do think people are probably fucking. and annoyed by the Democrat. I think that we're at a unprecedented time in terms of people just being tired of both parties. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Watching the Democrats just not do shit.
Starting point is 00:07:07 So maybe that'll come back and bite them in the ass. But it does seem like, as of right now, Trump's disastrous second term has been enough to just move the football. Somehow, somehow, it all has.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Yeah, so up first, Florida. There was a Florida house seat that was up for grabs in the very West Palm Beach district where Mara Lago is located. Wait. His own district. He voted in this election. His own patch. This is a local election that you got to vote in.
Starting point is 00:07:44 And you know how this motherfucker voted? Mail in ballot. Don't tell me he mail. The thing, the very thing that is ruining this country. So we've got to get rid of it. We've got to stop. this, but I'm going to do it. And so Baron and Melania, we'll all
Starting point is 00:07:59 everybody's going to do mail in. So mailed it in, and guess what? It flipped. A very reliable red seat has just gone blue. Emily Gregory beat the Republican John Maples 51 to 49. And yeah, this isn't,
Starting point is 00:08:15 that's a bad look. This is a, this was a pretty solidly Republican seat, considering that what they do last time? What's the incumbent? One by 11 points last time. The Republicans won by 11. the cycle even before that, 19 point blowout. So they went from night.
Starting point is 00:08:29 So it's shrunk from 19 to 11 to flipped. Um, yeah, that's, that's not a good one. So, um, that's not great if we have fuckery free midterms. Yeah, yeah. Okay, terms and conditions do apply. Just no terms and conditions apply any time we're talking about the midterms. And potentially something happening that, you know, couldn't be manipulated with.
Starting point is 00:08:54 bad faith attacks from the right. Right. Like threatening to or actually arresting people who don't appear to be there to vote for Republicans. Yeah. But I think a good plan. Everybody, we should just just start looking MAGA as fuck at the polls. We all need our, we all need our MAGA hat. Yeah. That we just, or just like start, you know, like if you, if you know, like just like get a little, get a beard going, put the flannel on, put a t-shirt, like a fucking beer t-shirt on. Just, dress very magacoded and then they'll be so confused they'll be like we're all the libs but hey i don't know man i'm here to vote fucking trump man here we go amen brother
Starting point is 00:09:32 just call each other brother hard our brother yeah you hard ar brothered me all right that's that's a good that's a good old boy right there another one for us call each other hoss you were calling anyone hoss not these days uh what's up hoss uh there's also a florida state Senate seat that flipped blue also. It doesn't do much for the GOP majorities, obviously, in Florida because they have that shit locked down. But again, showing that a lot of reliably read districts can get touched. Anyone can get it.
Starting point is 00:10:07 And again, this is why Trump is so focused on getting the SAVAC past because, you know, the writing is on the wall currently in 900,000 point font. And it says, you guys are fucked. the uh yeah i saw harry enton the guy from cnnnn formerly a 538 who's like a big uh big wheeler dealer guy yeah yeah yeah he he was saying that this seems to be very uh strong evidence that we got a date friday uh yeah it's it's coming something something's coming nois arc level blue wave coming potentially again terms and conditions apply terms and conditions fuckery incoming all So it's like, you know, a wave of fuckery meets a wave of actually what the people want.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Right. But you know what, Jack, there actually is voter fraud that we do need to look out for. I just read this head. Oh, wait. It's from a MAGA freak who was committed vote. Oh, no. Just found guilty. It's always fucking projection with these bugger ass motherfuckers.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Oh, yeah. So for all the talk of voter fraud, a MAGA, quote unquote activist, I don't, what the fuck is a MAGA activist, like a racist with a substack or something? I'm an activist, actually. Like, I go in physical space and I'm racist. This guy's showing us what a mega activist is. Yeah, you are acting out illegal activities. You're doing illegal activities. So this guy, yeah, Harry Waite said he ordered ballots in the names of, so he got, he found, he ordered all these mail-in ballots for prominent, like, Democrats, like in 2022. Like, like,
Starting point is 00:11:48 the state assembly speaker, like, this, like the mayor of racing, Wisconsin and another Democratic former state law. So he said, the mayor of racism.
Starting point is 00:11:58 The mayor of racism himself. Harry weight, by the way, is like two of the things. Yeah, great name. A hairy guy who's got a weight problem. Or is that what you expect.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Yeah. Harry, no, wait. Don't do it. Yeah, or like a hairy weight. Like, you're at the gym.
Starting point is 00:12:15 You're like, I'm picking up that hairy weight, dude. Got that hair on it. And I won't pick up a wait unless it's hairy. That's my whole thing. Look. And now you found it.
Starting point is 00:12:24 It helps with the grip. And also. The follicles help with the grip. The follicles still attached. I prefer that. Yeah. Cooler. Harry wait.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Some of this guy has heard from every romantic partner. Yeah. Wait. Wait. Oh, God. Just desperation in their voice. Yeah. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Don't take my shirt off. So this guy basically got caught ordering these ballots, but he did the peak to catch a predator shit when he said, I ordered the ballots to expose the risks of voter fraud, which probably is true. I mean, I don't think he was trying to cast a vote for these people. But again,
Starting point is 00:13:05 hey, dumbass, you're still committing fraud by doing this, even if you're trying to quote unquote prove a point. So he has been found guilty of a felony identity theft. charge, potentially could go to prison for seven years, probably not going to happen because old white guy. But election officials did point out, they're like, they're like, shit like this is again, very rare and stupid. And we would have caught him either way because we caught him. So he was like trying to prove a point about voter fraud by committing voter fraud. Yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 00:13:41 exactly. Okay. Look how easy it is to do voter fraud. I just did it. Oh, you got caught. All right. You got caught and erred going to jail. Yeah. That's how easy it is to deal these drugs. I did it to prove a point, though. He's got a mega mouth. You know what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:13:59 Like his, he's got like he's speaking crooked, like out of like the side of his mouth. It could be like a lifetime of true, you know? Yeah, yeah. There's a old guy who walks around my neighborhood yelling at anybody who like. We'll listen.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Yeah, we'll listen essentially. you have the Black Lives Matter sign up. He's coming. He's coming at you. Oh, one of those. I'm aga activist. Only, only,
Starting point is 00:14:22 yeah, exactly. Only my wife. He won't say shit when I'm there. He walks off when, when I walk out, but when my wife is pulling into our driveway, he's, he's activated, huh?
Starting point is 00:14:34 Yeah, he doesn't. Jack, she wants to ask if she knows about that. I've been looking for a tough guy recently. I'm in your bushes low key for days. He pulls some shit on your web, oh, so you're a tough guy. Huh? What?
Starting point is 00:14:48 He also speaks out of the side of his mouth, like, in this weird way. Like, it's like the bottom of his mouth is like kind of. So contorted. Yeah, like contorted. Like, you're like, like, you just like tried to bite something with his lips, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy how well they fit into their little boxes, their little categories.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Yeah, so Harry Wait, we'll see what happens. But yeah, you're going to have to. wait on voting for a while, my guy. Harry, my man. Yeah. I hope I never hear about this guy again, but. No, definitely not. They're always, like, like three times a year,
Starting point is 00:15:30 there's always a story of some fucking boneheaded boomer motherfucker who thinks they're like the Upton Sinclair of discovering voter fraud by just doing fraud. Yeah. And they think they're making a point because they did it as if to be like, you're not like a hacker who's exposing a vulnerability in a system. like a white hat hacker and be like, I've actually pointed out this vulnerability.
Starting point is 00:15:51 You're just fucking doing the thing and being like, you see, it's, this is how all the brown people are doing. The immigrants are doing it. It's like, no, you are the only one. Yeah. You're the only one we've caught. So it actually proves the exact opposite point.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Um, yes. Well done. Well done, sir. Yeah. Let's take a quick break. And we'll be right back. I became a millionaire overnight, but lost everything that.
Starting point is 00:16:21 actually mattered. Wait a minute, Sophia, did you just say he lost everything? That's right, it's inheriting too much drama week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, I just inherited a fortune after losing my mom, and now my girlfriend's entire family is coming out of nowhere with their hands out.

So the girl he wants to marry is already sending money out the door. And that's just the beginning. He makes a plan, sets up a time. trust and finally thinks he has everything under control.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Okay, so things work out then? Let's just say the people he trusted the most are the ones who ended up shocking him the most.

It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected.

Starting point is 00:19:05 His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans. What? And he was really good at it. You probably won't believe it either. Okay, I don't think that's true. I'm telling you. I was a spy.

Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Forgive us. Forgive us. So my bad, my bad. Let's talk open AI. You're probably tired of us talking shit about AI by now. You've told us you're tired. You're like, we get it. However, sometimes you just got to...
Starting point is 00:21:52 You got to dance on a grave. Hit the brakes, pull a UE, and tell everybody we told you all. What the fuck do we say? Hey, guys, we collected the right opinions way before all the other people. Because we had smarter people than us come on and be like, Now, guys, this sucks. Hey, guys, this is bad. If you map the arc of our AI fascination, it was like, dude, we've passed a fucking medical test.
Starting point is 00:22:16 And you were like, holy shit, dude, it can do, like it's doing doctor shit. And then once we started talking to like real cynics, like, you know, Ed Zittron or like Alex Hanna and Emily Bender and those people, we've really got, we're like, yeah, right, right, yeah. Oh, yeah, this is all bullshit. Right, right, right. good, good to know, good to know, because Sam Alton was in an article saying how he's going to eat a cyanide capsule. That was the thing that got me was that old
Starting point is 00:22:43 New Yorker article where Sam Altman was just like so clearly full of shit. The stuff he was saying was so clearly full of shit and being like, yeah, man, look, this stuff is so good, I'm even scared. I'm going to kill myself. What? It's so good. Like, they're going to
Starting point is 00:23:01 take over. I keep cyanide fill my mouth. Right here. Oh shit. I kind of bit a little bit. So, yeah. It seemed foolish. A lot of very smart people were saying it was foolish shit. The market, however,
Starting point is 00:23:17 was revved up. As recently as six months ago, people were fucking psyched that Disney was announcing that they were going to partner with OpenAI's video generation app, SORA. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:33 A Billy, a Billy, a Billy a billion dollars. Both stock prices shot up. Amir six months later, Open AI has announced that they are saying goodbye to their AI video diarrhea factory. It was kind of cute. They were like, we want you to know what you made with SORA mattered. So many good quote tweets from that post. people would be like, yeah, it was bullshit.
Starting point is 00:24:07 It was nonsense. Can you find one? Can you find one video that mattered that was made by the, is it the one where Michael Jackson wrestles with Hitler on the Mori Povitt show? Is that the one that mattered? For you, it probably would have been those animals on trampolines. Animals on trampolines. Was it me making a fool of myself?
Starting point is 00:24:26 Is that the one that mattered? Was it the video that producer Justin shared with me that low-key we both like called Base Windu, where it was Sam Jackson. in playing bass in Star Wars singing a gospel funk song? I mean, that is, okay, some of these did matter, it turned out. No, we were both so pissed.
Starting point is 00:24:42 We're like, God, this shit is actually kind of funny. Fuck. Anyway. Yeah, it was a lot of Star Wars ones kind of mattered. There's also the one where they just put, I think it was macho man, Randy Savage, into a bunch of scenes from Star Wars.
Starting point is 00:25:00 So stupid. But anyway, the app is no fucking more. that means Disney was like, that's also also crazy, right? Like Disney was like, we're investing a billion dollars. The stock price goes up. The money was never,
Starting point is 00:25:14 there was no actual transaction happening yet. And Ed Zittron was pointing this out that so many of the announcements that Open AI would make was just, there were like letters of intent type deals. It wasn't that money was changing. And then because all of the people reporting on this
Starting point is 00:25:32 didn't actually bother to be like, well, is this, like, there's an actual transaction happening or you're just saying, like, you intend to do this. It gave everybody the impression that, like, oh, my God, things are ramping up. But again, you know, like, we've pointed out, like, maybe months ago, too, it's such a odd shell game of money moving around between companies that, like, I'm giving them 50 million, but they're, you know, I'm giving them a billion, but they're also giving them 700 billion. And yeah, man, it's really going great. to quote Matthew McConae's character and the wolf of Wall Street it's a wazzy, it's a woozy
Starting point is 00:26:06 it's fairy dust it doesn't exist, it never landed it is no matter it's not on the elemental chart it's not, it definitely not Fugazi Fugazi it's a wazzy it's a woozy what this whole shit
Starting point is 00:26:21 That's what they're saying to each other Yeah Yeah I mean this was I the one huge thing is like Like with everything with AI it's like, was this ever profitable? Was this ever going to make you money?
Starting point is 00:26:34 Because everyone's like, okay, fine. Like, Will Smith can now eat a whole, like, plate of spaghetti pretty well. Right. What does that fucking mean for your company or profits? Never really made sense. It was like a toy that people could play with. But by playing with it, they were costing open at AI. What was it?
Starting point is 00:26:51 It was like $15 million a day. $15 million. Yeah, $1.3 per video. First of all, what the fuck? Cause the company $1.3 per video, $15 million a day, $5.4 billion per year to make something that had no value to anyone other than just being like, look at this. This is weird, man. Right. Not to mention the ones that they couldn't even put out for being like, oh, that's like racist porn you just had me make. Okay, yeah, you can't have that. But anyway, how to. Yeah, that's not counting all the ones that they didn't. Yeah, they didn't put out. Like it's fucking, it never really made sense.
Starting point is 00:27:33 There is so many problems with the public figures, just like videos of Martin Luther King Jr., Mr. Rogers. Sam Altman, maybe that was part of the problem because they released Sora 2, and people were making videos like a realistic video of Sam Altman walking through a slaughterhouse of pigs asking, are my piggies enjoying their slot? but more recently it's been spreading a lot of war,
Starting point is 00:28:02 misinformation and propaganda. Yeah. And also, too, I mean, like, I'm glad because so many, like, like YouTube is just chock full of,
Starting point is 00:28:11 like, short videos that are AI nonsense. So it's going to put a real dent in the fake viral video, uh, a colony of people. Um, but anyway, I think like everybody else,
Starting point is 00:28:23 the people who are AI cynics, you're like, fuck yeah, dude, fucking take a big dump. and go away forever. Because this is nonsense. And I think it also just really, like,
Starting point is 00:28:36 Ed was pointing this out on, like, in his substack, too, was just for all, like, the fucking journalists who were like, this is gonna fucking change Hollywood forever when, like, the Sora update came out. Yeah. Look at you assholes now.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Yeah. You were fucking, you're, I mean, and I'm sure they know they were part of it, or at least they're incentivized to talk up AI. But I'm sure. so glad that there is this complete fucking decoupling of what the media was saying AI is and what the actual
Starting point is 00:29:05 financial reality is for Open AI where they're like, dude, we can't fucking do this anymore. Although they've sort of presented it as like, we're pivoting. We're pivoting to I forget, like they were like training yeah and like training real world robots to do
Starting point is 00:29:21 tasks or something. I feel like that was in there. So, but I'm sure that's a great strategy for a business. is just to be like constantly shuffling between different priorities that you like can't even keep straight. Yeah. And hey, good news for people
Starting point is 00:29:37 who create things for a living too. Yeah, let's hope so. This isn't being normalized. In fact, it's having to fucking just take an L publicly. So yeah, fuck off forever, Sora. Yeah. Speaking of fuck off forever, Iran has said,
Starting point is 00:29:53 fuck off forever to the United States. Yeah. So as we talked about Trump, the beginning of the trading week was like, hey, we're in very serious negotiations with Iran to end this war, bring prices on oil
Starting point is 00:30:09 back down. Everything's going to go back to normal. And which Iran said, huh? Who are you talking to? Who are you talking to? Yourself? So, but he did like jump in and make big bets
Starting point is 00:30:24 on the stock market almost definitely. We'll say allegedly, but, you know, people who must have known something made massive bets, like, immediately before. I feel like, again, this is like having an employee discount at a store. You have this information. You're like, man, fuck this job. At least I can use this information I have.
Starting point is 00:30:44 And I'm going to go fucking on Cal She, whatever. I'm sure there's so many. It's called Insider Trading is massively illegal. Like, yeah. I'm sure, like, but that's like what, how all of these craven people look at it because no one actually has, like, a real, like, moral bone in their body. So they're just like, yeah, yeah, oh, you guys are making money off that, too. Can you show me how to do that on Kalshi? So we got a, we got to look at what Trump's very serious negotiations look like.
Starting point is 00:31:08 And it is a 15-point plan for a ceasefire in the Mideast War through, they submitted it through intermediaries from Pakistan, which was promptly rejected and labeled excessive by Iranian officials. and people who are familiar with it were like, this is the same thing that you guys submitted last year that they rejected. You know, and also assholes, we were negotiating
Starting point is 00:31:37 before you fucking attacked us. Right, right. So you can't just go back and be like, oh, what about now? You know?
Starting point is 00:31:45 Yeah. It's like literally doing a 360 in an office chair. Be like, okay, you know, like this proposal? How about now?
Starting point is 00:31:54 You're like, you just spun around in a chair. You handed me the same thing. Yeah, but while your back is to them, while you're spinning, you, like, let off a massive fart. Because there's something that has to make it worse on the other side for this metaphor. Up your back. Up your back. So they just see a little speckle come up the top of your shirt collar. What was that?
Starting point is 00:32:16 Nothing. I have a new deal. It's improved. Dude, ugh. I'm going. What the fuck is this? It reminds me of an interrogator. who like keeps asking what are the codes like tell me the codes oh yeah what about now except he's
Starting point is 00:32:32 getting his ass beat oh right right like you're the one you're the one being at gunpoint i'm gonna be forced yeah you're at gunpoint and you're trying to run shit yeah yeah no that's exactly what's happening and again the iranian officials have just all been like bro we're we will say when this shit's over and based on what they just sent fuck that because they've make a good point. How are we going to engage in good faith with people who cannot keep their fucking word? Yeah. And keep trying to kill us or actually killing us. So what do you- Killing our negotiators. Yeah. That seems to be like one of the Israeli military's favorite tactics is be like, hey, all right, we're coming to the table and then like blowing up the table.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. We also learned that his morning briefings, Donald Trump's morning briefings, consist of, like, essentially those military snuff films that we've, they've been releasing. There and one mixtapes of shit exploding. Yeah, there and one mixtapes of like them blowing shit up in Iran. I was wondering aloud on, I think yesterday's episode, like, what diseased mind thinks those clips are like good propaganda because they keep releasing them as propaganda. And it's, you know, not effective to anyone, you know, it's not winning anyone over to their side of the It just seems like, is it like horrifying? It seems like more and more evidence piling up that these are the bad guys. Turns out they just already have those, like the 15-point deal,
Starting point is 00:34:08 they already have those lying around because they make them every morning for the president. Yeah, those are actually declassified materials that were like presentations for the president. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I guess we can. Can we use this, let the bodies at the floor thing? NBC says Each day since the start of the war in Iran U.S. military officials compile a video update
Starting point is 00:34:31 for President Trump that shows video the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours. What the fuck is wrong? And be like if the only information that you got about your favorite basketball team was highlight reels
Starting point is 00:34:47 and you didn't even like find out what the score of the game was and also you are the coach and the GM of the team Imagine you only watch videos of people dunking. And then they're like, all right. So you know, play basketball, right? All right. You're starting right now for the fucking Knicks against the fucking Oklahoma City Thunder.
Starting point is 00:35:07 And you're the player coach. And you're like, what? I've only seen dunking though. So I'm like awesome at this, right? Like we're dribbling. What about everything else? Are they allowed to do that? It does seem like his response to this war does seem to be, are they allowed to
Starting point is 00:35:24 do that. Yeah. You know, like, he seems to just be taken aback by, like, their ability to, like, freeze the straight-of-war moves. Yeah. Are they allowed to,
Starting point is 00:35:32 are you allowed to commit war crimes? Yeah. What do we talk about allowed to do? The thing you're doing. Yeah. Again, that, and I think, like, most people were like,
Starting point is 00:35:41 this is frightening because it's not allowing this senile old man to have any idea of what is actually happening. If this is how he's, like, interacting with the war. It's like, here's your fucking mixtape of shit.
Starting point is 00:35:54 blowing up. Okay, now you have a complete picture of what's going on. This is merely to make him feel like, oh, good, so that blew up. Right. What else? What about the Iran opening, like, new fronts in a war? Did I tell me about that? Is that a thing that you even consider? Probably not because when someone says something like that, you probably get upset and then they get fired. So it is wild that, like, all the things that we know about him are the things that are coming back and, like, ending the world. like his favorite movie being blood sport, but he only watches the fight footage. Like that's also how he conducts.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Think about, oh my God, this makes so much sense, dude. How he eats fucking pizza. He just eats the toppings. The toppings. He only, I only like the good part.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Yeah. That's his whole thing is I only want the good part. I don't need to know any, I'm not doing the other work. That is what's ending the world is that there's a fucking seven-year-old in charge of the world. Not even 12. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:53 12 year olds babysitting a seven year old. And they also say that these videos are also making Trump more frustrated with the media. Right. He's like, what don't they understand? Well, put out the videos. Did they show that thing fucking blew up? Right. And they're like, dude, what about the economy?
Starting point is 00:37:12 What about the needless loss of life? What about the fucking school children that are being killed? What about it? What? So this is again, this is where like the demonstrative. Democrats really have to run on every, just so y'all know, you better hope, I don't mean, not that the Democrats would do this, but you'd wish the Democratic Party was functioning enough to say, just a warning to everybody in here right now. If you guys aren't able to sort this fucking guy out, all of you are going, we're going to find a way to make you all criminally negligent. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:43 For fucking lying to this dude. You should have ran the 26th Amendment. What the fuck's going on here? But, yeah. other good news is they raise the enlistment age for the military to 42. What did it used to be? Up from 35. Wow. So you know, that's always good news. That's always good news. Yeah, that's always a sign that you're winning. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday, March 25th.
