Starting point is 00:00:00 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,
Starting point is 00:01:14 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.
Starting point is 00:01:34 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
Starting point is 00:01:57 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
Starting point is 00:02:46 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
Starting point is 00:03:26 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
Starting point is 00:04:08 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.
Starting point is 00:04:44 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
Starting point is 00:05:37 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?
Starting point is 00:06:16 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,
Starting point is 00:06:45 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.
Starting point is 00:07:16 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
Starting point is 00:07:46 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.
Starting point is 00:08:34 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.
Starting point is 00:09:06 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
Starting point is 00:10:01 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
Starting point is 00:10:25 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,
Starting point is 00:10:46 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.
Starting point is 00:11:26 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,
Starting point is 00:12:07 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
Starting point is 00:12:31 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
Starting point is 00:13:19 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.
Starting point is 00:14:10 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.
Starting point is 00:14:47 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
Starting point is 00:15:13 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
Starting point is 00:15:33 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
Starting point is 00:15:55 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
Starting point is 00:16:46 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.
Starting point is 00:17:28 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?
Starting point is 00:18:03 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.
Starting point is 00:18:23 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
Starting point is 00:18:44 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
Starting point is 00:19:16 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
Starting point is 00:19:47 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.
Starting point is 00:20:17 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.
Starting point is 00:20:37 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.
Starting point is 00:21:09 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.
Starting point is 00:21:28 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.
Starting point is 00:21:44 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.
Starting point is 00:21:56 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.
Starting point is 00:22:15 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
Starting point is 00:22:29 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,
Starting point is 00:23:00 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
Starting point is 00:23:19 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,
Starting point is 00:23:31 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,
Starting point is 00:23:48 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
Starting point is 00:24:25 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.
Starting point is 00:24:53 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,
Starting point is 00:25:32 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.
Starting point is 00:25:52 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
Starting point is 00:26:36 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
Starting point is 00:26:58 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
Starting point is 00:27:30 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.
Starting point is 00:28:00 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
Starting point is 00:28:48 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?
Starting point is 00:29:26 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
Starting point is 00:29:43 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
Starting point is 00:30:07 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,
Starting point is 00:30:28 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.
Starting point is 00:30:49 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.
Starting point is 00:31:11 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?
Starting point is 00:31:31 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.
Starting point is 00:31:44 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,
Starting point is 00:32:10 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,
Starting point is 00:32:33 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
Starting point is 00:32:59 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.
Starting point is 00:33:28 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.
Starting point is 00:33:51 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
Starting point is 00:34:06 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
Starting point is 00:34:24 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
Starting point is 00:34:43 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.
Starting point is 00:35:07 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,
Starting point is 00:35:32 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.
Starting point is 00:35:52 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,
Starting point is 00:36:11 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,
Starting point is 00:36:22 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
Starting point is 00:36:38 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
Starting point is 00:37:14 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.
Starting point is 00:37:37 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.
Starting point is 00:37:53 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.
Starting point is 00:38:11 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.
Starting point is 00:38:31 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.
Starting point is 00:39:03 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
Starting point is 00:39:19 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
Starting point is 00:39:38 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.
Starting point is 00:40:07 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.
Starting point is 00:40:39 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.
Starting point is 00:41:00 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.
Starting point is 00:41:28 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,
Starting point is 00:42:05 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.
Starting point is 00:42:25 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,
Starting point is 00:42:56 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,
Starting point is 00:43:17 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.
Starting point is 00:43:50 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.
Starting point is 00:44:29 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.
Starting point is 00:44:55 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.
Starting point is 00:45:15 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.
Starting point is 00:45:38 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.
Starting point is 00:46:05 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
Starting point is 00:46:22 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
Starting point is 00:47:10 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
Starting point is 00:47:50 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,
Starting point is 00:48:16 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.
Starting point is 00:48:37 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
Starting point is 00:48:53 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
Starting point is 00:49:20 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.
Starting point is 00:49:54 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.
Starting point is 00:50:02 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.
Starting point is 00:50:26 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?
Starting point is 00:50:51 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.
Starting point is 00:51:10 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,
Starting point is 00:51:31 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.
Starting point is 00:51:55 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
Starting point is 00:52:08 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.
Starting point is 00:52:43 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.
Starting point is 00:52:56 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
Starting point is 00:53:12 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,
Starting point is 00:53:43 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
Starting point is 00:54:18 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
Starting point is 00:54:47 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
Starting point is 00:55:04 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
Starting point is 00:55:30 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.
Starting point is 00:56:10 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
Starting point is 00:56:27 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
Starting point is 00:57:17 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,
Starting point is 00:57:52 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.
Starting point is 00:58:06 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
Starting point is 00:58:22 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.
Starting point is 00:58:40 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
Starting point is 00:59:00 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?
Starting point is 00:59:14 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?
Starting point is 00:59:36 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.
Starting point is 00:59:52 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
Starting point is 01:00:09 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
Starting point is 01:00:32 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,
Starting point is 01:00:58 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.
Starting point is 01:01:18 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
Starting point is 01:01:46 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.
Starting point is 01:02:05 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.
Starting point is 01:02:21 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
Starting point is 01:03:07 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.
Starting point is 01:03:42 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.
Starting point is 01:03:57 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
Starting point is 01:04:21 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
Starting point is 01:04:51 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,
Starting point is 01:05:27 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.
Starting point is 01:05:41 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?
Starting point is 01:05:54 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.
Starting point is 01:06:05 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.
Starting point is 01:06:17 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.
Starting point is 01:06:38 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.
Starting point is 01:06:56 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.
Starting point is 01:07:23 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.
Starting point is 01:07:47 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.
Starting point is 01:08:03 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.
Starting point is 01:08:38 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.
Starting point is 01:08:55 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
Starting point is 01:09:30 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.
Starting point is 01:09:53 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
