Hey and welcome to tomorrow I'm your host Josh Wittipolsky. Today on the podcast we
discuss the disgusting horrendous sad, pathetic loss that Donald Trump has experienced in the
presidential election.
Alright baby, here it is. This is it. We did it. We did it. Donald Trump is dead. Just kidding. He's still alive.
But in his own heart and mind, he's dead. And that is the thing I'm cherishing. Donald John Trump.
He's a loser. He's a loser. And he lost like a dog.
Like a disgusting dog in his street.
He's a one term impeached ass failure,
motherfucking non-president entity come January.
Donald Trump has lost.
Now, it hasn't been called everywhere,
but the writing is on the wall.
Well, I don't know why they're hesitating to call it.
I'm gonna say everybody is a scary cat.
Is there a phrase?
No, I'd say it is strategic.
They don't want to make this as easy as possible.
Yes, of course.
We don't want to have any situation
where one vote slips somewhere
and they got a call, Nevada back,
and all of a sudden it's like look the fixes in
The the the election as of like this morning it just turned a corner
It was clear that the numbers were not on Donald Trump. Well, it's been clear for days and days and days that the numbers were not on Donald Trump side
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are going to win this election
They have already essentially won they already already have the votes. Those numbers
are going up. It's very unlikely. They could potentially lose. They have Georgia now. It's
possible with some with some provisional votes and some military votes that that could flip
back. But honestly, probably unlikely, but it could happen. But other than that,
happen. But other than that, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Michigan, Wisconsin, have flipped, flipped. Well, actually, sorry, Nevada, Hillary one, but Arizona, which was
John McCain's home state, the, the, the, let me just say this. And, and, and Trump, of
course, is, has been, I I mean he's been in a bunker we
haven't seen him really he had given one horrendous speech yesterday I guess I didn't see it.
Uh, the most the most the networks cut away from they were like people were like this is
like embarrassing and so horrendous what he's saying. Donald Trump is is is lying through
his fucking teeth trying to claim as he has been since literally the second he took office
when he said that there was fraud and that the the three million votes that Hillary got in
the popular vote weren't real.
This president, this piece of shit, this shit stain, this fucking hopefully soon to be forgotten,
useless asshole Donald Trump is now telling people and by the way we'll talk about this in a second
because a lot of people voted for him and I want to talk about that but he's telling his
ardent supporters who are I really think I need to go seek help they need to get the help that
they need the mental care that they require he's telling his supporters that there's widespread
election fraud and yet the only evidence of election fraud that is thus far been unearthed is
there's been some ballots sitting at fucking the post offices that
that the US Postal Service didn't deliver for some reason, which they just saw
1700 ballots in Pennsylvania sitting in a post office.
And Donald Trump's people were sending emails
telling Trump supporters to take their mail-ins
and try to file them after the election day,
after not filing them, after not sending them.
Literally asking them to do voter fraud.
So the only evidence of any actual fraud is coming from Donald Trump and his supporters,
which is, you know, she come as a surprise to no one, and yet, you know, here we are.
So, so, so he's, he's pushing a narrative that, you know, I don't even want to talk about
his dumb fucking narrative.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won
this election. The Democrats have won back the White House. They did not really do that great in
the Senate. It remains to be seen. There's going to be a runoff of the two Senate seats in Georgia,
a runoff election, sorry, runoff, yeah, election for that. And I think they, well, they got one seat in where Arizona. And I haven't, I haven't
been following it super close because I've been kind of caught up trying to see what's going
on the president. But the reality is like it's not like a, it's not a blue, it's not a
blue wave, you know, but I will say, I mean, you got to look at this, you know, he took back, I mean, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris took back Pennsylvania
and Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, which is has rarely ever gone blue, Arizona, which is rarely gone
blue, took back Nevada, actually did, unclear did did Hillary Clinton I can't remember did she win Nevada last last election Hillary Clinton did win did win Nevada okay
But Trump's done Trump's done his kids are done his dumb fucking
Lackies like Rudy Giuliani are done now. They're still I'm sure they're gonna be making noise
But you'll see how quickly these people
are forgotten and ignored, right?
We had to tolerate Donald Trump and his cronies
because Donald Trump somehow became
the president of the United States, you know?
And so we had to hear from these people
because they were essentially representatives
of the president of the United States.
When they are private citizens who just want
to fucking shout about something,
you will see how quickly and how little they actually get covered by the media and by
in how little we care about hearing from them.
And neither to say, I mean, I could only be happier if this was like immediately,
if this had happened immediately, if it was decisive on, I mean mean I could only be happier if this truly was a
repudiation of and a referendum on Donald Trump's
Presidency, but the reality is I do think I mean millions and millions and millions and millions and millions and millions of people
You know, it's gonna be the numbers are gonna be
Joe Biden will receive the more votes than anybody
Has received for president in the history of the nation, okay?
And more than Hillary won by in the popular vote, it'll be five million or more votes than
Donald Trump got.
So a lot of people, a lot of people in this country voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
and an end to Donald Trump.
But like 70 million people voted for Donald Trump.
Yeah, like not enough for us to just be like, well, we'll never have to think about those
wackos again.
More people than ever voted for Donald Trump.
Now, I do think the fact that the pandemic happened and the fact that this was, this became
like the only show on to some extent. And the fact that
that Donald Trump created such a such a level of insane fear in his supporters or in the
Republicans that this was like the battle for, you know, the end of, of, you know, whatever
his, you know, America's we know it. The reality is it's the flip, right? Like the truth is that
if Trump had won this or stolen it as he's trying to do now, trying desperately to steal the election back from
Joe Biden, it really would mean something. I mean, the fact that the Democrats prevailed
here is a sign that there's hope that this country can turn around to something that is
more healthy and normal and that we can be governed by people who actually try to govern for all of the people in the country.
Because right now we're in a very scary weird place, which is like 70 million people in America.
We're like, Donald Trump's doing a great job and I want more of that.
And you have to look around you and say, we have a pandemic that is ravaging.
It is on the rise.
We are doing 9-11s, a 9-11 level of death.
I mean, just to put in perspective, 9-11 happened. We went to war forever. We are still at war
over 9-11 in countries that have nothing to do with America and have nothing to do with 9-11.
3,000 people die. We're doing roughly that every two fucking days in this country and those numbers are only
going up.
Hundreds of thousands of innocent, completely normal Americans have been killed by a fucking
disease that Donald Trump denies and rejects that he rejects the science on, that he has
made a political, he has made it into a political battle, and that political battle has made
it's absolutely supercharged, the deaths of people in this country.
It's a well-established fact that if people follow the science and then if you have a plan, you can
bring these numbers down. In New York, we had an outbreak, a widespread outbreak. It seemed like
it was out of control. And then everybody started to follow the rules. They all wore masks.
We stayed away from each other. We stayed indoors. We shut things down. And you know what? The
rate has gone up a little bit in New York, but it's not like the rest of the country. We have it under control. You can go to a museum in New York. You can go out to dinner in New York.
I'm not saying it's perfect. It's not the same.
This weekend we did.
We hit 3000 infections.
No, I mean, the numbers have gone up. The numbers are going up everywhere.
I mean, we also were...
We beat it back from where we were.
But from where we were, but you have to remember that New York people come to New York
from other places.
We had very strict rules about people who could come here and then we loosened them a little
bit.
Now they're tightening again.
But the point is, the problem is, is that people, some people, a lot of people in this
country, never tried to get it under control.
They never tried.
Their governments, the president, their governors,
their states, their senators failed them in listening to scientists and listening to
experts. And so anyhow, but just to bring back, because it is ravaging this country now,
it is really bad. And they're going to mean way more deaths. And unless we get the
center control and we do it fast, this president let it happen. He not only let it happen,
he knew early what happened. He didn't do anything. He knew we needed a protective equipment, he didn't
get it made. He knew that states needed help. He didn't give it to them. And, and, and he
lied and lied and lied and lied and lied about what it meant to wear a mask or not wear
a mask. The economy has been destroyed because of it. He's done nothing to help that. Nothing.
One stimulus, one stimulus bill that's coming gone and that was six months ago, five, five
months ago. The economy is in the shitter. Our presence on the world stage is destroyed.
The people are dying by the thousands every day from a disease that is ravaging this nation. And we have an out of control police force and an out of control government that is, that
has, it's, this is so far removed from having its citizens best interests in mind.
It's, it's like not even funny.
We have a president who supports openly supports white supremacy.
This guy is a fucking open racist.
He has said that he governs only for one part of the country,
which is people who voted for him and everybody else,
is not part of his plan.
He's set it out loud on more than one occasion.
This person got more votes than he did last time.
In the middle of all this, he got more votes.
So something's really broken and something's really wrong
in America that you could look at what Donald Trump's been doing here and go, yeah
I'd like to have four more years of that if your goals in
In the in the political arena are to see like the lives cry
Because you like to tell them that trans people can't serve in the military that we should separate children at the border from their parents
Then you have a fucking mental disease and you need to go get, you need medication, and you need therapy. There's something
fucking wrong with your brain. If you look around you go, I don't care if people are dying of coronavirus
as long as I'm fine. You have a mental illness, you need to get help. Like there's something wrong
with you, your empathy chip is fucking broken. But like it's broken and that mental illness is sort of like is empowered
by and charged up by two things that we have to deal with, I think, head on in this country
in the next few years, really, really take serious responsibility. Fox news and things like
Fox news, which are just lying misinformation machines that are there to make a fucking buck and to corrupt the
mindset of the electorate so that thieves can win elections and so that they can make more
money. They are a fucking disease. I would say they are a threat to the nation. They are
a misinformation fountain and somebody needs to turn the fucking lever. They need to turn it off. I mean honestly Fox News should be
Destroyed in some way and I don't know how you do it
But it should be destroyed the second thing is and there's other people like bright barred in OANN and all these fucking right wing
And by the way, I'm not saying it's not possible to have stories that are critical of the left wing and Democrats. There certainly are places that do it all the time.
These people are not doing stories that are based in reality.
They're just firing, just a fucking, just a hydrant, open hydrant of misinformation and
brainworms for people.
That's one.
Two is Facebook and Twitter and every other social media organization that exists on a large scale, particularly Facebook. Facebook's
inability, Google also with YouTube, their inability to police and control or
their unwillingness rather because it turns out that Facebook has tools that
they say they're turning on now because they're worried about civil unrest that
that can increase friction about how people share.
Well, where were those tools the last four fucking years?
Where were they the last eight years?
Facebook should be held accountable and responsible.
Twitter should be held accountable and responsible.
These motherfucking social media companies need to be brought under control.
And I'm not talking about censorship. I'm talking about you cannot have open,
the open spread of lies and misinformation into a pop,
into a populace, though the way that we've had
and not have bad, very violent repercussions.
And that is what is happening.
Kyle Rittenhouse went and fucking killed people
on the street because of fucking Facebook.
Okay, militias are forming on Facebook.
Militias with intent to harm and kill
to fucking kidnap people, to hurt people.
This is part of Facebook's fucking problem
and they need to be dealt with.
And I think it needs to be dealt with on a regulatory level.
But like, we have to get those things under control.
70 million people in this country
shouldn't have looked at what Trump was saying and doing
and been reinforced to think that that was a good thing
And I'm not saying this because I'm a fucking Democrat
I'm saying it because I'm like a human being whose brain is working and I can see all the information
QAnon is fake. It's made up. It's a lie. None of it is true. None of it is true
None of it is fucking true. And these people believe it
like it's a fucking new religion. And something needs to be done. We have an education problem
in this country. We have an education problem. There is, we need to educate people, really
like legitimately, like just basic education. We need to make high school and college accessible and realistic to people, especially in rural areas, especially in low income areas.
We need to, free college needs to exist for Americans. There needs to be a path.
We need something where we can say you can go to another level here without it destroying your finances.
The second thing is we need to get misinformation under control
in this country. The combination of no education or low education plus not understanding history,
not understanding how to seek out more information, not understanding where to look and who to
listen to, not understanding how science works and what you need to know about it. Plus,
a flood of misinformation from every fucking angle unadadulterated, unaddeded, unchecked, everywhere you look is a recipe for total fucking disaster.
I don't believe the Donald Trump would have gotten this vote if Facebook and Fox News didn't
exist. And it's not because they're pumping out the truth, it's because they're pumping
out lies and it's fucking dangerous and it's scary. And so like, there's a lot of work
to do, but Donald Trump fucking lost.
And all his bullshit's going to go away and a lot of his people are going to go away.
And we're not going to have to listen to Rudy Giuliani and Ivanka Trump talk about
politics and Jared fucking Kushner, talk about our country or politics anymore.
They are in come January, fucking nobody's.
They are regular people, not in a position of power
Not in a place to speak on what's going on in this country or the world and good fucking riddance
It's been too long coming they should have never been there in the first place and the question that everybody should be asking
For the next four years because one of them motherfuckers is gonna pop up and try to run is how do we get here?
And how do we never get here again?
How do we never get to Donald Trump again in this country?
And I don't think anybody knows the answer to that right now
and somebody better be working hard on figuring it the fuck out.
And rant, very long, 20 minutes straight rant.
Just me.
I just figured you should get that out of your system
before we rounded 20 minutes, but good.
No, it's fine.
It's one of the wire.
You know, I think, listen, Facebook is obviously a
problem because, I mean, let's just on its face, the
information that spreads the fastest gets rewarded the most
is a bad idea in a world where like just because information
spreads quickly or like feels good to share with people, like
that's gossip, you know, like that's a telephone game. We
teach children that that's not how information should be spread.
Facebook's entire business model rests upon that and rests upon letting corporations
steer that ship as much as they want, as much as they can pay, which is basically just
mind control at that point, just complete disinformation in a capitalist marketplace,
and it's psychotic, and there shouldn't exist.
And obviously, Fox News is a bunch of liars.
That's like, I mean, we Facebook is that concept
of the lie spreading, you know, halfway around the world
or whatever.
It's that, but it's on, it's on fucking super crack, you know?
It's on.
So, I mean, I think that's obvious, but I will say this felt phenomenal.
I am so happy.
This is such a, it really means something and we could actually, I actually see a path
for a future for myself and my children that is safe.
I'll just start with safe and stable, you know, like it might not be
perfect, but I do see a path where like we have a country and where like my children go to schools
and we can go on vacations and like I see a future that I did Nazi and Nazi and I wouldn't see
if he had gotten reelected. I kind of would have put those ideas away
and those like hopes away.
So I'm really happy.
But as much as we all want to take a break,
I think what we need to do is take this as a sign
that what we're doing is working.
And we can't rest just yet.
We have to win these runoff elections.
We have to push Biden not to do the like,
I've pardoned Nixon and everything's coming back together
as a nation.
We cannot ignore these problems.
We cannot ignore what these people did.
They're have to be consequences for your actions.
We should have let, I believe that we should have let
multiple businesses go bankrupt during the financial crisis
because they truly do think that if there isn't consequences for your actions, people will assume that
that's what reality is and they will function based off those rules.
And if we let people engineer genocide and we don't, if there's no consequences for it,
I don't see how anyone on the world stage can trust us.
I don't see how we can, I mean, we need to be able to say in debates, like if you endorse
the ideas of Donald Trump, you're endorsing the ideas of a convicted criminal within the system of American justice.
And we need to hold to account the people who are making these decisions.
We need to laugh out of every restaurant.
We need to throw gum in their hair.
We need to spit on them, the people who were complicit in this at the highest levels.
Throw gum in their hair.
That's hard.
We, we need to reject them having jobs at CNN.
Like Rick Santorum does.
Oh yeah, I agree.
We need to reject the idea that like,
and you know what, fucking this goes for
Claire McCaskill and Andrew Yang.
We need to reject the idea that you can say on camera.
You know, the Democrats shouldn't focus on all these,
quote unquote, this is their words,
transexuals instead of focusing on economic issues.
That?
Oh yes he did.
Oh no, that was clearly castled.
But Andy Yang said it.
Cultural issues.
We can't focus on divisive cultural issues,
which is just like, you know,
that's just a dog whistle for trans people.
I think we need to, as a country, as a group,
as progressives, who won this by the way.
The fucking Lincoln project, the people chasing Republicans down
and saying like, ooh, we'll get John Kasich to speak
at the D&C.
None of that worked out.
Well, more white people voted for Donald Trump.
He did not lose a single person.
You know who won this?
Fucking Detroit won this.
Atlanta won this.
Ilhan Omar won this.
Stacy Abrams won this.
Those people won this.
And we need to double down on those methods.
We need to reject all of the shit that we were doing that led us to Trump. And we need to do so
for the next, for the foreseeable future. And it's going to be exhausting. But Black Lives Matter
registered more voters than the Democratic Party did this year because of COVID.
I mean, that to me, this is, I mean, part of it is,
we have to, we have to look at the reality. And I was, I was arguing with somebody about this last night
on Twitter, which is always a mistake,
but they were, you know, somebody had retweeted,
you know, somebody who was talking, you know,
quoting Andrew Yang from CNN, talking about like,
you know, we need to look at, you know,
we need to talk to the, understand these,
these lower income voters who went for Trump and it's like, you know, we need to look at, you know, we need to talk to the, understand these, these lower income voters who went for Trump,
and it's like, you know what,
a lot of low income vote, actually more,
low income voters went for Joe Biden.
And they're just not low income white votes.
Right, the people, the only people
that want to talk to them.
And I'm so sick of trying to understand,
like, there's one thing I need to tell you
how to, what's going on there?
It's racism.
That's it.
It is resentment that they use racism,
they pour all their negative emotions into racism,
and that is it.
And until we can defeat that, until we can,
until we can, and to do,
to defeat that, we have to listen to the groups
that are being targeted,
and the ways they're being targeted.
Well, the, you know, there's no question in my mind
that this year, first of Donald Trump,
I mean, I honestly think he should have been a,
I don't understand how there weren't more people.
I don't understand how the thing that we need to get to,
and get at is not about, it's not actually about income, okay?
It's about what is it, what makes a person in this country here?
The words of a racist
See the actions of a racist of a person who's whose value for life in this country for the lives of every American
It's so low. He's put such low low value on it particularly those people who are
people of color
immigrants
How is it that people here? I like I'm white and privileged as fuck, okay?
I you know, I mean look I mean you know two generations ago
I have people are coming over on boats in my family, you know, so I have some I have some connection to like the
Actually, you know like I people in my family are immigrants, right? Like I've talked to them like they feel like immigrants here, but like I'm not.
I was born in America.
I'm like second generation in America.
And I've lived a life of being a white guy, you know, occasionally somebody will be like
call me like a Jew boy or something, you know, because I look very Jewish, but mostly
I've lived a life of the luxury of like being a white guy.
And you know, 99.9% of it, but but you know, I what what when I hear when I hear someone say something that's really racist or
Or homophobic or or or or hateful and hurtful to another person even if like I don't fucking agree even if like I hate the person. I'm still like
You know like like I like what's his name,
Milo Young and Opelus, you know, is gay, right?
He's a piece of shit, but if somebody was like,
hey, you know, fuck you, Fag, I'd be like,
that's fucked up, don't say that.
I don't like him, but I wouldn't,
I don't think that about him.
You know, and it's like, what I don't understand
is that there's a whole bunch of people in this country.
Forget about us, just not agreeing on abortion.
Forget about us not agreeing on taxes.
You can't look at another, you can't listen to a person like Donald Trump and hear what
he's saying about people.
And that if it doesn't evoke something in you that is empathy, if it doesn't evoke something in you that feels that is revolted by the sound of it, that if you don't hear when people are
out in the streets, when you hear the phrase black lives matter, if you don't understand
what it means, if you can't separate like, if you can't understand that people are, there
are people in this country that are treated differently than you and more
Negatively than you and more violently than you because of the color of their skin
Like and that doesn't evoke something in you the problem is not like
whether you're in fucking rural America or
In fucking New York City
The problem is not you know your alignment, the problem is like,
there's something that you need to learn
that you haven't learned or that you need to understand
or feel that you haven't understood or felt.
And there has to be like, this needs to be taken
at a much more fundamental, I think this fix for us
is a much more fundamental fix.
It's stuff like, you talk about the defund the police thing.
I mean, people talk about this concept of like changing the way we, we, we, you know, meet out justice,
quote unquote, justice and how we, how we use the legal system in this country and how
we use the police enforcement in this, in this country. And we talk about changing, like
that's a part of it. But like, you have to get there.
You have to be able to get there mentally and emotionally.
And that the thing about Donald Trump
that was consistently shocking to me and striking
and upsetting and bewilders me to this day
is like, how can you be an American citizen?
And here's some of the shit that he said
and see some of the stuff that he's done
that is so revolting just to the core of what America is, to the core of what America is
supposed to be and not be, not really not be feel that it's revolting and to want to
reject it, but to embrace it and go towards it.
Like that's, there's something wrong.
Donald Trump is a racist autocrat. What he wanted in
this country was a white nation, a white Christian nation that pushed out people of color and people
from quote unquote shithole countries and immigrants favored white Christian Republicans, straight white
Christian Republicans, and meet it out abuse to everybody else
Under the control of a government that didn't have representation that didn't represent you
in your town or your state
That literally was an autocratic, you know dictatorship and and and and so like if you want that if that feels like the right thing you, we got to go way deeper than like your fucking income bracket, you know, it's got to go, we got to go way
beyond this conversation about, you know, rural voters.
Like we need to change the way America thinks about what the future looks like because this
is like, and I think do think to some extent,
some people need to be pushed forward. They need to be pushed into an uncomfortable place
where they are forced to confront that shit. Do you know why cities, I mean cities are massively going
for Biden like 80% of the people in Philadelphia, like 80 70, what is the number in the city?
But you know what you never fucking here, 70, what is the number in the city?
But you know what you never fucking hear?
You know what you never fucking hear?
You never hear Donald Trump or any Republicans
Mitch McConnell say, we need to get out of our bubbles
and into those cities and try to understand
those voters in what they want.
You never hear that.
Well, you always hear, we need to go to the trailer park
and find the white people that live there
and nobody else who lives there and ask them their specific racial grievances and then those are what we need to operate
on.
What the fuck, how did the fact that you got there so quickly means that that's kind of
where I think you wanted to go originally because that's not what ends up winning elections
for our side.
That is not what ends up making a better world.
That is not what ends up solving those people's problems.
So the idea that you want to jump there and then use that as justification for making the
cases you wanted to make anyway, I mean I think Andrew Yang deeply cares about income inequality
and doesn't really care that much about trans people.
He thinks it would be nice if they were treated well, but it's not his like biggest issue.
But instead of understanding that like trans people don't have so much less income than
anybody else.
And if you raise trans people up,
if you raise up people of color,
if you raise up the quote, quote,
quote, lowest among us,
that a rising tide raises all boats,
and also you capture so much of the American pain
and the American suffering that's happening right now,
that is such a large swath of it.
And you can't attack it by taking the people
of the most privilege in the lowest economic group and raising them up and thinking, like, well, that's done.
Like that's insane.
That's like saying, oh, we'll make a jobs program and then anybody with a disability, well,
they can't do a job and we're not going to have welfare.
And so, you know, those people will suffer, but I think their relatives will take care
of them or something out of the goodness of their hearts.
Like we know this not going to happen.
We know people with disabilities need assistance
in order to survive.
So let's account for that when we create the system.
And that's the same thing that goes for,
we know racism exists.
We know trans people are unlikely to get hired for jobs.
We know that queer people are likely to be denied basic
like living like places to rent
or they don't have close family relationships in general.
It's harder for queer people to have those.
So how do we account for that in the new systems that we create?
That's how you have to think about it.
And those systems will also catch all the white people,
all the straight white people who are resentful
and racist or whatever.
They'll get caught.
And I think that if their lives are easier,
they'll lash out last.
Well, I believe that.
But I don't think you start there.
No, you start by, no, you start by even in the playing field
for the people who are disenfranchised
or for the people who need it.
And by the way, and the people who have been getting shit on
and hurt and killed in this country.
And by the way,
I mean, Andrea Yang may be right that, in terms of income inequality and Bernie Sanders,
of course, has talked about this extensively.
Income inequality in this nation,
in a rich nation like ours is outrageous,
where we're at right now,
where what we do for our people,
what we do for our people with the taxes we take,
how we help them with the government versus what we do for our people with the taxes we take, how we help them with the
government versus what we take from them is very out of out of fucking balance. But also,
what we allow from the very richest of our people in relief to what we give to the least
rich, to the poorest, right?
Is totally out of balance.
But so there is something to be said, by the way,
for people not feeling like they're all fighting
for the same thing.
But the difference is, poor, why people feel like they're fighting
for something they think some immigrant
or a person of color is gonna get.
And those people are fighting to just even be allowed to have a chance
at getting it. You know, like, it's like, there, I think the original sin of that is in the
declaration of independence where it says life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
That's nice and it sounds good. But it should say, and I, you know, I get this analysis
from a great YouTuber called Jack Seat, who everyone here should check out,
you have a very fun time.
I recommend the Space Jam video.
But it should say life, liberty, and the pursuit of property.
Because happiness is a completely undefinable thing
and it exists as a way of saying,
it exists on the continuum of the quote unquote myth
of the like happy sleeve.
And I think what this country is built on,
the backbone of this country is capitalism.
The backbone of this country is land ownership.
The backbone of this company.
This country decided that you didn't get a vote
unless you owned land for a very long time.
I mean, we're built on, I had this,
I had a discussion with people on,
sorry, go ahead, finish your point.
I was gonna say it should be the pursuit of property
and it should be that if you are at such a disadvantage
that you can't pursue property to a basic level
to sustain yourself, then your rights are being infringed upon.
And I'm not saying that everyone should get a handout
or whatever and that's gonna fly in America.
I don't think that would fly.
I think it should exist because we're that rich,
but I don't think it would fly.
But what should fly is that you should be able
to pursue property.
There should not be a class of people in this country
who for whom there are hundreds of times
more likely to get murdered.
Dozens of times less likely to ever retire.
You know, there shouldn't be a group of people like that.
There should be everyone should start
at the same starting line and have the reasonable expectation
of finishing the race.
Not everybody's gonna come in first and you're not going to sell America on that.
I get it. I'm not, I'm not not a realist, but I do think as a realist,
you have to say that if we can't all make it to the finish line,
then something is not working.
And then the people who do make it to the finish line are going to be able to
start making it harder and harder so they can be more and more the exceptional
person and they can reap more and more of the awards and the spoils.
Like we have to have a system where everybody can make it through the day and everybody can
sleep at night without like the anxiety of my children, what if they get, what if my
children get sick, what if my children can't go to school, what if my children never get
to go to college.
We have to have a place where if you have something
to contribute, this is really what it is.
I've just talked myself to it.
If you have something to contribute in this country,
if you have something other people can want,
if you have something to help,
you should be able to do that and have no obstacles
in your way, and we should take care of your basic needs
so that you can contribute.
And that's really it.
Not just because people are all that they can contribute.
People have, they have dignity within themselves whether or not they can contribute.
But if you can, I think that's a fulfilling thing for people.
And I don't think most people in this country don't want to contribute.
I think everybody thinks they have a talent or something they can offer unless they're
a sociopath.
And everybody wants, if they're mentally healthy, everybody wants to contribute.
And I think that is the sort of rights
that we need to pursue.
We need to say like, just because you're a trans Muslim,
doesn't mean you should be like,
well, I'll never get a good job.
So.
Right.
Well, that's the, that's the,
I mean, it's what's so hard for so many people to see
is like this massive imbalance
about what you expect,
about what you can reasonably expect
versus what someone else can reasonably expect.
And it's like, you know, look,
we're talking about huge problems here,
but what I'm just to bring it back to this election.
But the difference with this,
with the thus talking about huge problems this week, sorry,
but the difference between this week
and the last four years is that there's a possibility.
If we take the Senate in these runoff elections,
or if we even break even if we even get half
We can we can pack the court and and and climate change will not be a thing that we will have to face down in in a few decades and die from
We could survive climate change. We could end COVID. We could every child in this country could be fed and educated and and taking care of by a doctor
Like those are things that could happen if we continue to do the work.
That's why I'm like so passionate about it and I am fired up in a way with a
different energy before I was fired up because I felt like there was a killer in
my house who was chasing me down and now I feel like I have a killer on the run
and I can fucking stop him. So let's play Hunt to Killer. Like let's murder him.
Like, I let's lock him up. Like lock him up.
I feel fired up and excited in a different way.
And I hope that that tone comes across
is that I feel a little less resentment
and a little more can do itness.
And I want to do it.
Like I now before in the Obama years
was I hopeful for all this stuff, sure.
But I was definitely super complacent.
And I thought, you know, they'll figure it out.
And the arc of history bends for justice.
And now I'm like, no, I know exactly what needs to happen to get this done in a certain
amount of time.
So let's do it.
Like we've got our work cut out for us.
We know how to do it.
We've been, we just, we just proved that everything we were doing, even if it was a strategy
that I didn't agree with, even with the strategy, I think was the worst strategy.
We still did it.
So let's do it again. And let's focus on what worked this time
and do it again in a few months.
And this could all be different.
This could be so different.
We could have such a beautiful life.
I mean, you posted that poem about the bones of the house.
We could have such a beautiful place here.
This could be the best country ever.
And all it takes is for us to confront the worst parts of us. place here, like this could be the best country ever.
And like all it takes is for us to confront the worst parts of us.
I think we're up to the challenge.
And so what I'm saying is make America great again.
Yeah, I agree.
Now it's actually time to make America great again.
I, I, or for once, I, well, you know, well, I just, I don't want to discount that there
are things that have progressed in this country.
I mean, we, I, there is, there is a feeling that we want you and I want, and many people want things that are hard to get sometimes.
They are hard to do for lots of different reasons.
It's not just resistance from the, the other party.
Sometimes it's, it's people really have ideas
that they need to be changed.
And you're like, you're not sure how to change it.
Sometimes it's like even the people
with the best intentions have the wrong ideas
of how to fix something.
Like there are, but there has been,
I mean, I really, I know that people look back on Obama
and they're like, Obama, you're such a huge failure,
you fucked us, you screwed us, whatever.
Obama did, there were things that happened over those eight years
that did move us a little bit forward.
Sure.
They did fix some pretty fundamental things.
Obama got, not what we wanted,
but it was the first time ever
where we really had any version of healthcare
for the people in this country
that wasn't just a product of the
insurance company's whims, where we had a government controlled way to go and get insurance
if you couldn't get it anywhere else.
And of course, the Republicans fought it and stripped it down all the way because they
controlled the Senate.
We still have this problem.
The Senate, we did not have a blue wave, we did not sweep the Senate.
There's a couple of elections that are hanging in the balance, but it's not right now,
is not a situation where Joe Biden goes in with the Senate and the House all under Democrat
control.
And we can start pushing through big, you know, we can't pack the court right now.
As of today. We can get there. We can get there. If we don't give $70 million to the next
Lincoln project and instead we give that to the kinds of campaigns that one without that support,
the progressive campaigns one up and down this country with zero support from the Democratic party.
And if we can get that support level and give it to those people, we would be shuans. This would
even be a conversation.
We could fix gerrymandering and this would never come up again.
That's, I mean, there has been so much manipulation.
That's another thing.
That's a whole other show.
But the manipulation that has happened to the Democrats, sorry, the Republicans have,
they've broken this system.
They're, they're entire, because you know, listen, look, the popular vote for like eight presidents
now has gone to the Democrat.
Okay, that means more people in the country want a Democrat to be the president than want
a Republican to be the president.
Okay.
And if we were actually allowed to vote the people in based on those votes, this would be,
I think we'd have a pretty different country right now.
And I think everybody would be better for it.
I'm not saying Democrats have all perfect ideas and Republican ideas are all bad.
Although I haven't ever heard a good Republican idea.
I have, honestly, I've heard a lot of their platform and none of it has ever sounded good to me.
And I'm not saying like, I can't understand where they're coming from.
But when I hear them talk, and frankly, when you look at their history, you look at the economic
state of our country under the rule of Republicans versus Democrats, you look at quality of life,
things like that. They have no record of being good. They've never.
I do understand, though, the idea of an opposition party to say,
let's cut excess of government spending.
That's bullshit.
No, no, no, no, but wait,
I understand the impulse to have that, right?
Like I get it, but that kind of stuff is not,
like you have driven your goals so far.
Like I understand of being like,
I have the freedom to practice my religion.
Okay. Totally. But once you've accomplished that and you're allowed to practice your religion,
you don't stop there. You guys have progressed to telling other people how to practice their
religion. Why are we appointing extreme cult like religious people to the highest court
in our country? Why are we talking about,
I get so beyond, you can make an argument.
You can make an argument about,
you know, you think abortion is murder.
And I think you can have an argument about,
you know, okay, well, there's some,
at some point we have to draw the line.
Sure, of course, everybody agrees,
every doctor agrees, every Democrat agrees.
But you really can't say, I'm going to decide what is best
for you, for your body, as a human being, as a woman,
over your right as a human being, right?
You really can't say, I'm going to say,
I want that what is taught in our schools
to be a white Christian version of history,
and I'm going to make a lot so that becomes the case.
You know, you really can't say, oh, you're trans and that makes me uncomfortable. Well, I don't want
you to serve in the military for reasons that are just literally there are no reason. You can't say,
oh, immigration, we don't want more immigrants here. So what we're going to do is we're going to take
a baby that's breastfeeding and we're going to take it away from its mother and we're going to lose it.
We're going to lose it. Beyond social issues. We can't say, oh, children can't feed themselves.
Well, it would be really good for my campaign and with military families and in towns where
they construct military equipment.
For us to make equipment, the army has specifically told us they don't want.
I'm going to spend a bunch of money there because I think it'll turn people out quicker
than if I feed children. So too bad. You too bad. You can't make those calls for everybody. Just look
crazy. Just look like, just look like, just look at, I mean, again, we talked about the
wealth disparities here, but like, the, I mean, that we have a child, any child in this country that isn't given food every day
is that it isn't provided for us.
That every child in this country, in such a technologically advanced country, can't read
or write, is it is a disgrace that we can't provide.
That we can't provide, that we can't provide, we have more than enough money.
We have money, we spent, by the way, the Republicans ran up the deficit.
They spent so much money while Trump has been off this.
Did you see that quote from Lindsey Graham that was like,
I'm glad to have a conversation with Mr. Abbotten about the debt.
It's like, fuck off the debt.
Really? You're the people.
You're that's so rich.
In the middle of a pandemic, that is so rich coming from you guys.
What we have to, right.
And what we have, I mean, listen, Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey Graham got outspent.
He had a better person, a better man running against him.
And he still won by a massive margin in his state.
Okay, we have to do something about the systemic, this systemic damage that has
occurred in this country,
both with Jerry Mandarin, but also with people who are just literally brainwashed.
They can't envision a better deal for themselves, you know?
Mitch McConnell keeps getting elected.
Do I believe, I mean, listen, Kentucky is the most racist fucking state in the country
problem.
I mean, at least one of them.
So, you know, I think, you know, whatever they're there right they're all they're all up there
But I'm saying like so I'm not that surprised
But I do think there are people who want something better and we either have to mobilize the people who want something better and then force
The other people to see the difference because that shit does happen
You know, by the way the thing about health care the thing about Obama care that nobody really like you don't the Republicans
Of course never acknowledge it would never acknowledge it
But they are scared of it.
Is that once people, even their people got coverage,
their mad as hell about it being taken away from them.
Yeah, they don't talk about cutting social security
and then we can talk about what people do
or don't like socialist ideas.
You know, it's like, it's like,
Let's have that conversation.
People don't know, people don't know how good it can be
because it's been bad for so long, you know?
It's like, the, the, there's just so there's just so many lies and so many mistruths and miss and so much misinformation
I just think like we have to tear down
We have to tear down the lie that it can't be better
We have to tear down the lie that people the citizens in this country are after each other's wealth or land or place in society.
Like, there's enough here, there's so much here for everybody, so much more than anybody could ever need or want.
The problem is it's distributed extremely poorly because a lot of people make money off of the way that shakest distributed. There is enough food, there is enough
housing, there is enough education, there is enough money
here. I mean, we can literally just turn around and stop
climate change. Like our entire contribution to climate change
could just be wiped out in. I mean, I'm not going to get into
modern monetary theory theory theory. But we can start to make
a theory. But the reality is the reality is you have to have a population that sees it and then asks for it or demands it,
right? Mitch McConnell, I mean, you want to work for Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell works for
the US taxpayers. And what he's done to the US taxpayers over the last 20 years is
criminal. What they did pushing through a fucking supreme
court nominee and letting people die and suffer and go fucking bankrupt and
broke and lose their houses and their apartments and their jobs and not give
them any help is a such a dereliction of duty, the likes of which has never been seen
in this country before?
It's just also so stupid.
All of these people, when we have a vaccine
and when we have safety measures to open things,
I hate using that word, but you open things up,
which is their parlance, when we can actually take
the economy off of ice and sit down and be like,
okay, things are gonna start going back
to an economy we are familiar with and can understand.
You don't want millions of people homeless and bankrupt.
It's just not good for everybody.
Let's start from where we were and start finding back.
You can only make so much money off of destruction.
I mean, there is an end to it.
And because it's not creating anything.
And then...
Well, this is, I mean, we're,
there is a, there is a whole, listen,
I know people who are Republicans or, or at least,
you know, lean Republican.
And there's a whole world of thought
about what all this means and how it works.
And there is a belief, you know, when people talk
about things like the green new deal,
they can't imagine.
They simply just can't imagine doing something differently.
Everything is no. Everything is able to cost too much. It'll be too hard. It'll never work.
And it's like, you know what? That's like, we've never gotten anywhere on that shit.
We've never gotten anywhere on that shit. We should be, this should be the most explosive
moment for us. Nobody will leave that if they sat around and they thought about all
the things that could go wrong throughout their day. I guess what? You're benefited by getting
up and getting out of bed and doing the things that you are able to do. And this country
is more than able to get up and get out of bed. This country is able to literally we can
change the face of the earth and the moon if we want to do. So just get up and just start doing the shit and stop bitching and moaning.
And I mean, they call us snowflakes.
They're the ones who sit around and are like, we can't do it.
It's hard. It's complicated. It's expensive.
You know what?
You know what? What was fucking expensive?
I rack. That was fucking expensive.
Yeah, right.
I guess what we did.
Exactly.
Guess what you did.
You managed to pull that together.
So I think we could teach everyone in this country how to fucking read.
I don't think that that's asking for too much.
We went to the moon, like 50 years ago.
So the reality is this.
Donald Trump has lost Mike Pence has lost.
I actually, for a second now, I was like,
is Mike Pence's name I couldn't even remember
because I'm already starting to forget their existence.
We may still,, Democrats may still get some controller at least more power in the Senate.
Right now it's, it's a 4847.
And for the fun idea of giving Susan Collins a do nothing cabinet role like secretary
interior and then letting the Democratic governor of Maine select her replacement.
And that would make a nice dent.
Man, only she has.
I'm down for all of these.
You don't have to take that job, right?
No, of course, but you can make it nice and sweet for her.
I mean, listen, lots can be done.
I mean, she fucking sucks.
The fact that she was reelected is just...
Embarrassed.
It's just sickening to me that you have a woman
who just over and over and over again supports this fucking guy
and who lies about her concern.
She doesn't even just support him.
She lies about supporting him.
She lies about considering other options.
She lies about being more centrist and moderate.
She pretends she, like where's a mask?
And like that is just like, we all know that you're a liar.
But I don't care, to be clear, I want to talk about this.
I mean, you know, you know, the wheat,
there is a chance that we can flip the Senate.
I mean, what's shocking to me is like, you know,
Warlock got, he got a lot more of the vote.
He got 400,000 more votes than leftler in Georgia.
You know, I mean, the Purdue and Ossoff race, which is a lot closer, but I'm looking at the
numbers right now.
I mean, by all accounts, I mean, this is so insane that you're going to have a runoff.
He should have that seat.
But guess what?
That means it's infinitely doable.
Right.
It means it's doable.
It means it's doable.
And we need to, people need to go and support the fuck.
Georgia to me is our new battleground
I want to see Georgia rise up and fucking stay up to me
That is the great the most exciting sign of any election ever is that the Democrats can win Georgia if you get people like
Stacey Abrams and you get grassroots organization you get an electorate that is mad enough and
Fed up enough and fired up enough to go and fucking make real change.
So I really would like to see those Senate seats flip.
That's a big deal.
But the point is, and then we should, and then we should, we've ramped it enough.
I have to start, I have to start celebratory drinking soon.
Donald Trump is fucking done.
He's done.
And whether he acknowledges it publicly
or pulls the sad sack, I was robbed.
It's fraud, bullshit, which is all lies.
He's gonna go.
He's gonna go.
And he's gonna go.
We talked about this this morning.
There's a point at which he is more dangerous
to the Republican Party by pissing and chitting in public
when he's obviously lost.
And like you can sue whoever you want.
You can sue the sky if you want to. But it's not, if you don't have a case, if you don't have evidence, he's more lost. And like you can sue whoever you want. You can sue the sky if you want to.
But it's not, if you don't have a case,
if you don't have evidence, he's more dangerous to them.
And at some point, the secret service in the military
are gonna go to the actual president.
And they're going to have to cut him off.
They're gonna say, like, just, yeah, enough's enough, bud.
And here's the reality.
And just so everybody, I really want everyone
to think about it. There are, there is so much corruption. There are so many people who
have been appointed with there are these Trump has been using this, this, what is it called?
It's like, it's like special, a special assignment or whatever. They can put essentially acting,
acting. He's put all these people in his acting
Chief of the DHS acting postal service acting, you know postal service is the joy acting
Yeah, he's these are people who don't have to be vetted he can put them in because they're like interim and they just do whatever
Biden can do the same thing the difference is Biden will put people in who know their shit
and know how to run shit.
And aren't there just to try to scam money or votes away
for the next one, you know?
And the things, Bill Bart, Bill Bart is gonna be gone
so fucking fast, his head'll spin,
and good riddance to the fucking heap of trash
that is Bill bar and will have
a real head of the department of justice who when when they see white nationalist terrorism
white Christian men who are terrorists in this country like the fucking proud boys and
all these other loser fucking Bougaloo groups they will crack down on that shit where it's
not going to be like it is.
Yeah, white terrorists are going to scatter
the minute that there is any threat.
They are lazy and self-embalmed
and they will disappear like the roaches they are,
the minute we turn the lights on.
We can talk about, we can talk about all cops being bastards,
but when the National Guard goes to a city next time
when there's a protest,
Biden's not gonna be sending them
on the Zeldas, walked in here.
I actual guard with a national guard goes to a city when there's a protest,
Biden's not going to be sending them to crack down on the protesters.
He's going to be sending them to crack down on, you know, these the bad guys,
malicious, you know?
Well, listen, I'm excited.
There's going to be a lot to say going forward in the future
About this and I do think we should do some sort of like
Autopsy of the Troub years. We got a lot of you have America his most embarrassing moments. Yeah, yes definitely during the
the inauguration, but
At the moment, yes, did you we should talk about let's switch gears stop the steel rebrand?
I think yeah, I think one of the the best things that's happened in all of the craziness of the last
You know the election time antics is this obviously this huge campaign that was started
Which just came out of nowhere came out of Trump's mouth stop the steel?
Hashtag stopped the steel, hashtag stopped the steal.
You know, the vote being stolen, the widespread rampant voter fraud.
And so these Facebook groups popped up, right?
There's a big one.
There's like a stop the steal group.
It's called stop the steal on Facebook.
And then what happened?
Explain nice to me.
Hundreds of thousands.
I think it possibly even millions of people forwarded into these kinds of groups. This group itself had like 65,000 members
and it was basically
fomenting a like let's get violent let's like all of the sort of darkness that you hear about happening in these
Terrorists adjacent or just outright terrorist Facebook groups, but someone is we don't we we're not sure we don't have the like
exact details just yet.
Someone was either long-term conning that this, like they created the group in order to get all these people involved in it, or got admin access by pretending to be super involved in this
cause. Right. Banned all the other administrators changed the name from stop the steal to gay communists for socialism
and just sat back and watched these people lose their minds about being in publicly in this
Facebook. There's all these threads of people like they're like what I'm not a gay communist
for socialism. Who added me to this? Yeah, I love it because it's also like, you know, the people who are on the front
lines of the stop the steel brigades are just total, just like, really need help. I mean,
they're not bright. I would say they're not bright. And they don't understand that they
were tricked. I saw a video of a guy who was like, there was like a guy was doing a video
and he's like, okay, here's, here's protests or stop the steel protestors outside of like
they're Michigan. This he's like, is where all of the media cars are parked.
And then, you know, there's a guy in the car
that's like, look, they're putting ballots,
they're taking ballots out right now,
and putting them in this truck.
And it's like, it was like a GoPro
in one of those flight cases.
You know, it was like a cameraman,
I mean, equipment in a TV truck.
People were upset because they're,
look, they're throwing out ballots.
It's like there's a bin on the ground next to the table
and they're sorting between,
leave this in a pile on the table to be further processed.
This one is done and they put it in a bin.
And instead of looking at it and being like,
that's a male sorting bin.
Of course, they're like,
they're, those are all the Trump votes
and they're squirreling them away.
Yeah, it's just, it's the kind of nonsense
that you need to not understand
that every ballot contains everything on it.
So if you believe that Republicans
one seats in the house,
you also have to believe that Joe Biden won the presidency
because they're the same ballots.
Like it's complete nonsense.
So the idea of this level of prank on social media
is just, it's fanciful.
It's a taste of your own medicine.
Yeah.
The crazy thing is the idea that the people who still,
quote unquote, stole the election for Biden
wouldn't have also stolen the election
for Senate candidates.
Yeah.
That like, you're like, okay, well, I'm gonna,
it's literally on the same line.
I mean, I think in most places,
it's just on the same line.
It's literally like, what are they trying
to cover their tracks?
I mean, what is the explanation?
Anyhow, the stop-to-steel thing is really good
because I love the idea that it taps into this,
the greatest fear that a lot of these people have,
that they would be considered gay, you know, or a socialist.
And it's like, it's like such a perfect insult for the gay.
Where is it, it's such a good insult because
it was a gay communist for socialism, is that what it is?
Yeah, it deeply wounds them, but it also means nothing.
Like it makes no, it's not a good insult.
It doesn't clean anything.
Yeah, it's a perfect joke. It's like it doesn't clean anything. Yeah, it's a perfect joke.
It would be like saying like these people have,
it's like a, it's like Dr. Seuss.
Like these birds have the spot on their stomach
and these ones don't.
And they all like fucking lose their mind.
You're referring to the starbellied snitches.
Yes, that's a thing.
And I've heard the story many times
in many different ways.
Anyhow, all right, what else?
Anything else that's even remotely interesting?
I mean, I'm so, of course, my brain is so fried
from all of this.
So Tesla, the car company,
run by notorious billionaire Elon Musk.
He's truly, he truly believes he has a sense of humor.
I love that, he came out with Tesla Keela,
a brand of Tesla to Keala that costs $250.
It's the way that it's made kind of makes it sound like swill,
but it's in the shape of like a Miss Marvel logo
if it was made by JD Power and Associates.
And I don't think the company understands
that like a car company advertising a custom high end alcohol
is probably not like a great brand integration.
Yeah, I mean, it's certainly,
I mean, it's very drinking and driving adjacent.
It certainly, it's very, you know, it's very Elon Musk,
you know, it's obviously he's a guy who,
it's like, it's like if a cigarette company's sold oxygen tanks,
like a more bro branded oxygen tank.
I mean, well, it's more like, it's more like, no, it's more like if cigarette companies sold oxygen tanks. Like more bro branded oxygen tanks. I mean, well, it's more like, it's more like,
no, it's more like if cigarette companies sold tumors.
Yeah, it's hard to draw a parallel,
but it's very Elon Musk in that.
He really seems like a tequila guy.
And I'm not, I'm not trying to insult tequila guys.
I mean, I have some good friends who are tequila guys.
It's a spectrum from George Clooney to like, friend Ralph, who talks a lot about tequila.
And Elon has a lot closer to Ralph
than he is George Clooney.
Tequila is like in many ways, it's like the,
you know, it's like the thinking man's vodka in a way
and I mean that in the least generous way possible.
It's like, it's basically a vodka like drink
in my opinion in the sense that it's like a party drink,
you know, tequila I believe honestly is a drink you have
when you wanna have a good time
and you wanna be up to get an uplicker.
But like there's a lot of different flavors of tequila.
I think people, I think a lot of,
there's a lot like white guys that really enjoy
the exotic nature of a tequila, you know, there's a lot like white guys that really enjoy the exotic nature of it.
Tequila, you know, quote unquote exotic.
They're like someone brown drinks.
Yeah, exactly.
It's from, you know, it's from the, uh, agave plant.
Actually, I don't know.
It's from the agave plant, but uh, how is Tequila made?
Is it made from, yeah, I don't know.
Yeah.
No expert.
Rather than solve how Tequila is made, I just want to give some, some quick advice. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I mean, it's an interesting idea that you that you bring up there, but I mean listen really I
think
You know, I feel like I
Don't know
Listen if you want to get a bottle of Tesla Keala and go with me to the hyper loop. I'm down. Let's do it
I do I am considering it. I mean, it sounds like a good time
I just think like Let's do it. I do I am considering it. I mean it sounds like a good time. I
Just think like
It's just it's just Elon Musk is is he's a man who really is
Often feel just trying to do he's trying to do so many. He's trying to make so many things work and I get it It's fun. It's funny and I don't know, maybe he wants to be like, he wants to feel like George Clooney.
But yeah, I guess with everything that he does,
I keep wishing that he would focus on the things
he's really good at, and stop trying to engage
internet trolls and like being into him.
See, that's the problem with narcissism.
Well, I guess so.
Anyhow, I don't have a lot to say about the tequila except,
I guess I'd like to try it.
And if you want to send me one, I'm not against the idea.
I will give it a fair review.
I am willing to drink the tequila.
Did you order it?
No, not yet.
Okay.
I'm willing to drink it and do a review of it.
I'm also willing to drink it and take a test
law out on autopilot. Have we talked about is that legal?
That's highly illegal. Is that legal yet? Can you drink tequila
while the car's on autopilot? Well, I don't see any problem
with that. I mean, now the Biden is going to be president.
You know, I don't think that's an issue in any way, shape or
form. But yeah, I mean, listen, Elon's gonna Elon.
You know, I've sort of left a musk, musk,
musk is gonna musk and I think, you know,
you have to just let the odor seep over you like a fine wine,
like a fine tequila.
All right, well, let's, I mean, nice things,
what if Donald Trump lost, that's it.
That's my nice thing, I don't know what else you guys want from me. I have the nicest thing I can think of is that I
I am I first off when you heard that side that exhale that was I did that about 10 times today after I started to see the news
Rollin where I just felt this weight lift off of me
We have wasted so much precious time more than anything
I think more than anything,
well, not more than anything, but at the top of my list of things that have been a bad deal
from Trump being president is that we have wasted incalculable moments in our lives.
The first thing I said when I spoke to someone that other than my husband about him winning was,
I just can't imagine that this is going to take me to 31,
and that four years of my life will just be lost.
Yeah.
Progress will be lost.
And my mom was like, yeah, so dramatic.
And I was like, no, I don't think I am.
Like four years of complete uncertainty, four years of chaos,
four years of destroying things.
Yeah.
It takes a long time to breathe.
Well, it's built.
It's just like, it's a remember,
I mean, you go back and think,
even if you're not deeply involved
in the thing at the moment,
you know, the Muslim ban,
remember the Muslim ban?
He banned all these countries
from being able to travel,
people from being able to travel here.
Remember that?
Like, like, yeah, that's definitely
on side A of his greatest.
We were, I mean, we were,
that was early, that was like January, I think. I was like right at the beginning. That was like one of his first things he were, I mean, we were, that was early. That was like January, I think.
I was like right at the beginning.
That was like one of his first things he did.
First things, yeah.
But, uh, you know, you have to look, I go, why?
What was that all about?
And we would spend time.
There were protests.
We did, we did reporting on it.
We did coverage on it.
The outline.
I mean, and I think about like where my time
could have been better spent.
It was for nothing.
He did it for nothing. We talked about it for nothing for no reason.
All those lawyers had to wait just to be racist just because he wanted to show his supporters how racist he could be
and how he really was on their white side.
Anyhow the point of the white side of history is on the white side of history.
Anyhow, that is over and he will go. He will be either escorted out of the white side of history. Anyhow, that is over. And he will go.
He will be either escorted out of the White House
or he will leave.
I think he will leave.
I think he will get in his sad little fucking car
and be driven to wherever he goes next.
Better not be fucking New York.
Do you want to hear my prediction?
Because he ain't welcome here.
My prediction is OAN and purchases his name,
license it, or whatever, rebrands his Trump TV.
They sign him in the kids to a deal two to five years contract to do shows.
He gets a set that looks like the Oval Office.
And once a week or multiple times a week, however much he they can like get his ADHD together.
He sits down with like, I don't know, Chris Christie or Mike Huckabee.
And he talks shit and spreads conspiracy theories.
Alex Jones and Fox News fused together and then he, if he doesn't run in a primary campaign
in 2024, someone adjacent to him does and it's a huge failure.
But I think he's going to try to run of making privacy.
I think that I mean, it's interesting to be interested in see what the Republicans
do because I don't know.
I mean, nobody would have predicted Trump in 2012, right?
So we have no fucking clue where this is.
We don't have a clue.
We don't have a clue.
It's gonna be that the guy who's like the sexual assalter
who just wanted like a congressional seat,
he's like crossing with her.
I think his name is just like most Republicans.
It's like Crawford, Witson or something.
Like, I don't know, it's something like that.
Anyhow, can I tell you before we go, It's like Crawford Witson or something like I don't know it's something like that anyhow
Can I tell you before we go can I just tell you my my perfect cable my perfect sorry not
cable my perfect late-night joke that I thought of
About the election. Yes, although I will plug
My nice thing before Trump lost today was you could like a dragon get that it's a good game. Okay. All right.
I'm going to my nice thing is this perfect late night completely bad late night joke that I made up about Donald Trump, which if it hasn't been told already,
I'll be very upset.
And this is frankly a freebie to Jimmy.
You know, you can have it.
It's, you know, Seth, you could have it.
Cold bearer.
Other Jimmy, other Jimmy, you're free to take this one.
I think it is exactly the kind of joke that a late night comedy, a late night host would
tell.
And here it is.
I don't, I actually, I don't know if I'll be able to deliver it, but here's the joke.
Okay.
You know, the big news, Donald Trump has lost the election.
It's a huge deal.
And there's already word that he's going to be back on NBC.
Back on NBC hosting a new show. But yeah, it's not the apprentice. It's actually he'll be hosting
the biggest loser. That's it. That's it. Don't go there. Went there. Right. That's somebody's
got to do that. What we're all thinking. I mean, I might delivery was not good, but somebody's got to do that. What we're all thinking I mean I
might delivery was not good but that's got to be a joke that somebody's going to be
with J. Lano we're still alive he definitely would tell I I I have respect for many late
night hosts but the amount of people that are just reading tweets that other people wrote
I mean we're in dark days for late night comedy. So I think that's a good fit right. Well, every day, every day is late night now.
Every day, every night.
It's all late night.
Okay, let's.
Okay, so maybe a new day is done.
A new day is done.
And let's wrap this up.
We gotta go.
I gotta go.
Goodbye.
Woo. Well, that's our show for this week.
We'll be back next week with more tomorrow, and as always, I wish you and your family
the very best.
Though I've just been told that your family is Don, Jr, Eric, and Ivanka, and they're all looking for work. you
