Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey and welcome to Tomorrow I'm your host Josh with Tbulski. Today on the podcast we discuss the cyber cookies and Miss Piggy. I don't want to waste one minute, so let's get right into it. Today I've got a very, very special show for you. I'm city with my producer Ryan Hullahan and we are going to go through highlights and lowlights from last night's debate with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and talk about the future of America and the American dream. Ryan, thank you for being here. Thank you for having me. Although technically speaking, you have to be here because you are the producer. That is true in order to get the money and praise I need to attend.
Starting point is 00:01:02 That is true. Well, at any rate, I'm recording this, this is a very unusual unorthodox situation. I'm at the outline office right now. We have a makeshift podcast booth set up. So if you notice any kind of strange sounds, that's probably people creating content. Well, I mean, is it any more unusual than having to say the debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and his unusual?
Starting point is 00:01:26 No, I mean, those are unrelated, but there's a lot of unusual stuff happening in the world right now, okay? I mean, it's a very fucked up time for the world. It's interesting. I can't wait to tell my kids a look what we did. Well, there won't be any kids because there won't be, there's not going to be a planet if things keep going the way they're going. If we keep letting people like Donald Trump almost become president or become president, I mean, if he's president, we're
Starting point is 00:01:51 done. That's it. That's the end of everything. America's over. Anyway, I don't want to harp on this because you've heard it all before, but you were going to, you had an idea for this show. Tell me, explain to me the idea that you wanted to execute on. I have broken down 20 things that Donald Trump said last night that are so categorically and factually false that very quickly we could move through each of these topics and quotes and just deny them with either clips of him saying the exact opposite or direct evidence from experts. Well, whatever you want to do, but I'm just glad that we're recording this after the debate because I think we're living in a different America today than we were yesterday.
Starting point is 00:02:33 And it's important that we discuss what that different America looks like and what an impact it's having on all of its citizenry right now and what kind of impact it'll have in the future. So anyhow, so what do you want to do? Do you have a quiz for me? Is that what's happening? Tell me how this works. I figured I would just throw out something
Starting point is 00:02:49 and then we could discuss how wrong it is. How would like shockingly... Maybe you'll find that I agree with him. You know, Donald, can I say something? Actually, I experienced something last night that I thought was really strange. I was laying in bed, dosing off. And I was thinking in bed, dosing off.
Starting point is 00:03:08 And I was thinking about all of the people who were saying that Donald Trump lost the debate. And I was thinking about Donald Trump at the end of the debate. And I started to feel kind of bad for him. Like, I started to feel sort of sad. Like Donald Trump's sort of a sad character who just wants everyone's approval. Well, I think it has to do sort of sad, like Donald Trump sort of a sad character, who just wants everyone's approval. Well, I think it has to do with his dad, like issues with his dad and going to military
Starting point is 00:03:31 school and like never feeling like he's gonna live up or like he looked, he lived in Queens and then he looks in Manhattan and he's like, no, I'm never gonna be good enough. And I think he, it is kind of a sad story of like what diet pills and sociopathies can do to someone who's been raised by someone or like, you know, just conditioned to think he's needs to have a gold, gold lions around his bed in order to be a worthwhile human being. I just, I don't know what it is. I just felt for a moment this intense pang of sadness for the man.
Starting point is 00:04:02 And, you know, and then it passed. Then I remember today's comments about Mexicans in it passed, but it was really profound and interesting 30 seconds of my life. Well, it's like when you feel sympathy for a serial killer, we were like, God, that's got to be tough. And then you're like, not as tough as being dead. So, well, I mean, like, yeah, you know, there's, you know, Lauren, I have long had a debate about Jeffrey Dommer, you know, and and And she has a lot of sympathy for Jeffrey Dahmer, which I think is explains her marriage to me to be perfectly honest with you But but you know, and I like you know when I was younger and when we talked about it, you know, I
Starting point is 00:04:40 Kind of it didn't make any sense to me to have sympathy for Jeffrey Dahmer But you know, I've thought a lot about it over the years, and now I, I guess I sort of feel bad for him too. Well, it's like you feel bad for the one column-biting kid, the one that didn't plan it, the one who was just like fucked up and went with his friends planned. You kind of feel bad because you can see how bullying gets you to a psychotic place, but then you remember he didn't kill people. I guess that's the thing, but I do feel, I kind of feel bad.
Starting point is 00:05:03 I feel bad for both of them actually. How do you get to that place? It's a very sad place to get to. And yes, obviously they're horrible for having killed people. But anyhow, I think we're equating Donald Trump with the Columbine kids, which is a fur and Jeffrey Dahmer actually. But I don't feel bad for Hitler. I'll say that.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Okay. That's what you can do. I don't feel any, I don't feel any like Hitler. I'll say that. Okay. Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do. I don't feel any, I don't feel any like, oh, well, maybe he was just misunderstood. If only art school hadn't rejected him. And yeah, I don't think that's the narrative that we really, you know, that's the, you know, whatever, anyhow.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I'm glad that we've talked out. We've now talked about. We've said the stage. Uh, Hitler, Jeffrey Dahmer, and the two kids from Columbine. So it's only up, it's only up from here, I think it's the reality. All right, so now you've prepared 20 quotes. 20 quotes.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Donald Trump isms, Trump isms, trickle down Trump. Trumple down trick from last night, from last night's debate. Let's hear this first. So country is going to be the clean energy superpower of the 21st century. Donald thinks that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese. I think it's real. I did not say that.
Starting point is 00:06:11 I did not say that. I do not say that. And I think it's the word that we. In fact, he did, and that tweet is still up. And you can go look at it. Maybe what he meant when he said he didn't say that it was a hoax. Maybe what he meant was that he didn't say out loud.
Starting point is 00:06:27 He didn't say the words that climate change was a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese. Maybe he makes a distinction. And listen, I mean, more power too. Maybe he makes a distinction between what he says out loud and what he says on Twitter. So he's like a genie where he takes things where that you wish for extremely literally. Do you know what I mean? Like he's like a computer, like a computer.
Starting point is 00:06:52 No, I have no fucking idea what you mean. Like when, what is a genie? What does a genie have to do with it? Like when someone says, I wish to lose weight and then they at genie chops off your arm, you know, like in those movies, there's this horror. I was just saying, no, I was just saying that he makes a distinction between,
Starting point is 00:07:06 he's like Amelia Bedelia is what I mean. If he literally, he literally did it. He's not missing, not a misinterpretation. I'm saying that he just is like, literally meant I didn't say the words out loud. That's what I mean. He's like Amelia Bedelia, he's saying, I did not say the concept of global warming
Starting point is 00:07:23 was created by the Chinese. It's like, oh, I see, yeah, really good Jeannie. Okay. I see what you're saying. Now it all makes sense. Like a classic riddle. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know, it's like you said a instead of a or whatever. Yeah, any how. So okay, that obviously is You know, in some way like, you know, the idea that Trump that we're talking about Trump's Denial of global warming is almost quaint by comparison as some of the other things he said. Yeah, that we're talking about, Trump's denial of global warming is almost quaint by comparison to some of the other things he said.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Yeah. I mean, I mean, you know, a hoax created by the Chinese, obviously, that's a strong idea, very strong, and I don't know where it came from. Obviously, it's like an info war sort of thing. No, but you're talking about a guy who's said way crazier. I mean, the most of republicans think global warming is fake well you know i don't think i'm going to think that i think the money is just too good for them to admit that they don't
Starting point is 00:08:12 well i don't think i don't think donald trump generally thinks it either i think i don't think donald trump believes in almost anything that he says uh... speaking of here is his comments on birth arisen sydney blumenthal works for the campaign and close, very close friend of Secretary Clinton and her campaign manager, Patti Doyle, went to, during the campaign, her campaign against President Obama fought very hard and you can go look it up and you can check it out. And if you look at CNN this past week,
Starting point is 00:08:46 Patty Solestoyle was on Wolf Blitzer saying that this happened. A Lume Thorlsen, Matlachi, highly respected reporter, Atmetlachi, to Kenya, to find out about it. They were pressing it very hard. She failed to get the birth certificate. When I got involved, I didn't fail. I got him to give the birth certificate. So I'm satisfied with it, and I'll tell you why I'm
Starting point is 00:09:12 satisfied with it, because I want to get on to defeating ISIS, because I want to get on to creating jobs, because I want to get on to having a strong border, because I want to get on to things that are very important to me and that are very important to the country. I'll let you respond, that's important, but I just want to get the answer here. The birth certificate was produced in 2011. You continued to tell the story
Starting point is 00:09:34 and question the president's legitimacy in 2012, 13, 14, 15, as recently as January. So the question is, what changed your mind? Well, nobody was pressing it. Nobody was caring much about it. I figured you'd ask the question is, what changed your life? Well, nobody was pressing it. Nobody was caring much about it. I figured you'd ask the question tonight, of course, but nobody was caring much about it. But I was the one that got him to produce
Starting point is 00:09:53 the birth certificate, and I think I did a good job. I really liked this statement from him because after he went through this long, I mean, although there were several times last night where Trump just, he was talking and talking and I'm like, and I literally, I honestly, I'm not saying this to be funny or to make fun of him. I was just like, what the fuck is he talking about? Like, I just didn't understand.
Starting point is 00:10:18 I just had lost like my ability to know what was happening with his narrative. Like, he was working on some narrative that I didn't have access to, and therefore it was like very confusing. So anyhow, he taught for a long time about Sydney Bloomingthal. Yeah. And, and, and. And Patty saw his oil.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Yeah, and things that are really, like some of them are, I mean, it's irrelevant, but also not true. And, but he gets the end of it. And Lester Holt is one of the few times Lester Holt said anything. He was like, well, you continued to talking about it in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. And he's like, well, Donald Trump was like, well, nobody's been talking about it. But he kept saying, I got the birth certificate as if it was like an accomplishment.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, but I thought it was funny as like, he was like, well, nobody was really talking about it. It's like, yeah, because it's fucking stupid. Nobody was talking about it because no one believed it. The only people who believed it were like, fringe like bright-bart slash, you know, whatever the other thing is. Info racist.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Racist, racist. Well, obviously all racist, but anyhow, that one is, I thought was interesting. I was surprised at how much Hillary Clinton let some of the stuff he said slide. But I think that was her strategy. Also, like she could have come out and said, like, yes, Patty, Silas, Doyle, Foil, Forwarded,
Starting point is 00:11:36 one email that had a conspiracy theory in it. And she was a volunteer. And so we fired her. You know what I mean? Like that's a great, like, I actually think that's her favorite part. But that's her admitting, but that's her admitting to any get whatsoever. I think her play was like, let Donald just talk,
Starting point is 00:11:52 let him talk and circles. And she did that really excellently. And then she would just wait for her moment. It was really kind of masterful on her part, you know? And by the way, I'm not like the world's big of Hillary fan, I really not. Masterful on her part, you know, and by the way, I'm not like the world's biggest Hillary fan. I really not but like it really was watching a prize fighter
Starting point is 00:12:17 Just knock the shit out of somebody. Yeah on women's rights. He said one thing one thing He tried to switch from from looks to stamina But this is a man who is called women pigs, slabs, and dogs. And someone who has said pregnancy is an inconvenience to employers who has said women don't deserve equal pay unless they do as good a job as men. And one of the worst things he said was about a woman in a beauty contest. He loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them. And he called this woman Miss Piggy. Then he called her Miss Housekeeping because she was Latina. Donald
Starting point is 00:13:02 she has a name. Where did you find it? Her name, and I'll leave you. Where did you find it? Machado. And she has become a US citizen, and you can bet. A really? She's going to vote this no value. Okay, good. Yeah. Well, let's say, I think we can't disagree with the guys.
Starting point is 00:13:16 A huge inconvenience. It's very expensive. The insurance companies hate it. I think the only answer is to sterilize everyone, so that there are no more children. Well, you know, they say women have to choose between work and careers. He wants to make that literal.
Starting point is 00:13:30 He wants them to literally have his direct amies if they want to be lawyers. Yeah, I think the interesting thing about this issue, I mean, what's interesting about Trump is that he, really, I mean, he really is trying to play both sides of this. I mean, he's had Ivanka Trump talk about women's rights and equal pay and leave. And then on the other side, he's talking to both sides as mouth on the other side of it.
Starting point is 00:14:01 He's making comments like that. You know, the guy is, he's just very uncool. On NATO, he said, because we pay approximately 73% of the cost of NATO, it's a lot of money to check out the people, but I'm all for NATO. No, we don't. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:14:16 We pay 22%. But also, is he all for NATO? I mean, he said that he wanted, he would leave NATO. I don't think he quite understands exactly what NATO is. I don't think he knows how NATO works. I think, listen, and by the way, in his defense, a lot of people don't know how NATO works. Yeah, I mean, it's complicated.
Starting point is 00:14:32 I mean, you know who's really into NATO is like politicians. Yeah, like people like you spend their whole life working on people like Hillary Clinton. Oh, I love that. I love that. Maybe you have this, but like, you know, I didn't understand the thing he was saying. He was like, yeah, for 30 years,
Starting point is 00:14:44 you haven't been doing anything for 30 years. It's like, that's not how it works. Like, you don't just, you don't just like come in and like cut some deals. The next thing you know, everything is fixed. Like, he's like, oh, you just had the idea to fix politics. It's like, it's been an evolving problem. It's not like one solution.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, I mean, Trump's gonna come in, he's gonna, you know, he's gonna do some back room deals. He's gonna slip somebody, you know, a hundred dollar bill. Slip some switches. And next thing you know, politics are gonna be fixedroom deals he's gonna slip somebody you know a hundred dollar bill. Slips switches. And actually, politics are gonna be fixed forever. Hi, everybody else here.
Starting point is 00:15:08 All right, NAFTA. Trump said, I think my husband did a pretty good job in the 1990s. I think a lot about what worked and how we can make it work again. Well, he approved NAFTA. He approved NAFTA. He approved NAFTA. He approved NAFTA. He approved NAFTA.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Which is the single-worn straight deal. He approved his company. It comes went up for everybody. Manufacturing jobs went up also in the 1990s. If we're actually going to look at the facts. NAFTA was a deal negotiated by George H.W. Bush and Clinton signed it in after it was already in motion. Some out about this.
Starting point is 00:15:36 How is NAFTA impacted or positively or negatively your life? You know, I don't, I think there is this thing. It's like, there's this, I mean, I've heard a lot of people talk about it. We don't, obviously, live in New York, and so it's a different situation. But there are obviously parts of America that aren't doing well, and Trump is appealing to those voters. And I think that that's true, but here's my problem.
Starting point is 00:16:02 It's like, does anybody really believe that Trump is good at this? Because my impression of his businesses is that they are all pretty bad. My impression of his businesses that a lot of them have failed. And I don't understand this belief. You know, it's like the thing about paying taxes,
Starting point is 00:16:18 and maybe you'll talk about this, but it's like, you know, he's like, yeah, it's smart. It would've been a waste of my money to pay taxes. He basically copped to the fact that he doesn't pay taxes. Well, he was like, he was like, I was smart enough to avoid doing that. And then he was like, all for lawn order.
Starting point is 00:16:29 It's like, are you for lawn order or are you for tricking yourself out of having to obey the law? Like, you know, it's tough. It's like, I'm smart for not obeying the law. What? Right. No, it's tough. I mean, you know, Trump would like really,
Starting point is 00:16:42 he really wants an all cash economy. I think is what he's looking for. He'd really thrive in an all cash economy. He'd really do well in a system where we did a promissary gold. That was really good. I think, I think, I think, but I think he would function really well
Starting point is 00:16:55 in a place where it was like, yeah, I mean, like where you could turn like a dollar into five by like finding the right, the right, um, dopes. Like as a scam artist, like he could work, he could really, he'd sell the Brooklyn bridge. Like that's, um, dopes. Like as a scam artist. Like he could work, he could really, he'd sell the Brooklyn, like he'd sell the Brooklyn bridge. Like that's right up his alley. Speaking of, I know.
Starting point is 00:17:10 He said that about wealth. In Palm Beach, Florida, tough community, a brilliant community, a wealthy community, probably the wealthiest community there is in the world. I opened a club and really got great credit for it. No discrimination against African-Americans, against Muslims, against anybody. And it's a tremendously successful club
Starting point is 00:17:36 and I'm so glad I did it. And I have been given great credit for what I did and I'm very, very proud of it. It is not, it is not in the top 100. The wealthiest city in America is Palo Alto, but there's no study of wealthiest cities in the world. That's like an insane. No, there's gotta be a Forbes list, man.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Palm Beach isn't on there. Palm Beach, Florida. Right, right. What about West Palm Beach? Actually, my grandma lives in West Palm Beach and it's pretty, it, pretty rich in love. Yeah, exactly. No, this was like, he was saying,
Starting point is 00:18:11 he was golf course, he built there. Yeah, he was like, yeah, I built a golf course, and we weren't racing, we wasn't racing at all. That's what he was all about. I built a golf course, and we were not discriminatory. In any way, that's, you're supposed to get a medal for that. Like, wow, you know, we thought about it, but then we didn't do it, so, you know, we're pretty good. And we were not discriminatory in any way like like that's you're supposed to get a medal for that like Like wow, he's like, you know, we thought about it, but then we didn't do it So, you know, we're pretty good on that one
Starting point is 00:18:30 Of course as opposed to everything he's ever built it's insane So then he started talking about his tax returns and he said as far as my tax returns You don't learn that much from tax returns that I can tell you you learn a lot from financial disclosure And you should go down and take a look at that. This is, well, this is to me is the greatest piece of bullshit that Donald Trump has to offer. This, I mean, he's such a,
Starting point is 00:18:53 he's so obvious when he's lying to me. It's like, you just sound like somebody who's lying. You sound like a guy who's lying. You're like, oh, routine audit. Okay, first off, I mean, you're audited a lot, I guess. Fine. Okay, you have a lot of money, you know, a routine audit. Sure, why not?
Starting point is 00:19:11 The idea that somehow he's going to release his tax returns. I mean, I think the truth is that there's something in there that's so detrimental to him that he can't do it. Whether it's like illegal money he's received or... That he doesn't make as much money as he says. Or he doesn't make as much money or the fact that he doesn't pay his taxes. Or he gets his money from Russia,
Starting point is 00:19:32 which is a very big accusation. And there's a lot of credence behind it. And it wouldn't be great for the president of one of the world's superpowers to make all his money from the other world's superpowers. I mean, he would be such a corrupt president. I can't even imagine or envision such a thing happening. I mean, he's so completely, he openly said,
Starting point is 00:19:51 I don't pay my debts because I didn't like the work. That's not, you can't. Yeah, it's not presidential. All right, I'm just gonna not pay my cable bill because my DVR sucks. Actually, that's a really good idea. My DVR my I have Fios which I like a lot sorry I don't want to dip into a conversation about
Starting point is 00:20:09 cable but I don't have a problem with Fios and I actually really reared its head last night during the day my my CNN HD channel is one hour behind my CNN SD okay and I don't know why. I don't know why. I do not know what's going on, but like I was watching the debate run up last night. I'm like, wait a second, this is like 754, and it's like 854, and I was like, what the fuck is going on? And I realized just moments with moments to spare, that for some reason the thing is delayed.
Starting point is 00:20:45 That might just be CNN, how they're generally is blatant to news. I don't think so. I don't think so because the SD channel was live. It's very strange. It's one of the most upsetting things that were happening to me. That's odd. And it's the second time it's happened, actually. I tried to watch the Bloomberg Network last night and there's a lot going on.
Starting point is 00:21:01 It's a lot going on on that screen. Graphics the graphics. A lot of tickers. A lot of tickers. All right. Did you learn anything? They were fact checking the doing. Yeah, it wasn't great.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Honestly, I just went to the sweat screen and Twitter was doing a better job. Fact checking. I watched it on MSNBC. Mm-hmm. I like MSNBC's after coverage because when it's not, when it's smart, it's smart, and it's Rachel Maddo. And when it's not, it's, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, I don't know where Chris Hayes was. Taxes. Number eight. A tax. He said.
Starting point is 00:21:46 He said, open the next segment. Well, look at I just finished it. I think I should, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, you got a website. You got a website. And you take a look at her website. She's gonna raise taxes $1.3 trillion. Just to drop up.
Starting point is 00:21:56 And look at her website. According to nonpartisan group, the tax foundation, her plan is actually going to increase revenue by $498 billion. I mean some of the stuff is just boilerplate like Trump has to test to say something he has to deny something. I mean it's not like he necessarily really takes this stuff to harder things about it very much. No I think he doesn't even know that it's a lie. I think he just gets those numbers and he says great. Well it's only alive you believe it In the words of my brother, speaking of taxes, he also said, under my plan, I'll be reducing taxes tremendously.
Starting point is 00:22:31 His tax plan would raise federal income taxes from more than half of America's single parents and one fifth of families with children. My favorite thing was, Trump said so many things, so many weird things like it's going to be beautiful. That's as a line that he likes to things, like it's gonna be beautiful. That says it's lying and he likes to say, it's gonna be beautiful. Believe me. It's like, yeah, believe me.
Starting point is 00:22:49 He just has so many strange, it's so many strange, it's like a salesman tick. It's like a salesman tick. Yeah, so many odd, like, just words that don't mean anything. Just words, like biglies when he said bigly. I wrote down, I wrote a couple of,
Starting point is 00:23:04 I tried it down. What was the one about police judge? Oh yeah, a police judge. Not a very against police judge. A very, he's a very good, he's a very against police judge. It's good stuff. I love it.
Starting point is 00:23:16 The cyber stuff was completely insane. He's a Hemingway. Oh my God, he kept saying the cyber sex was so big. It's so big you can't control cyber. The cyber we've got to get better at the cyber. We have to get better at the cyber.
Starting point is 00:23:28 I'm just, I gotta say something, sorry, you'll probably get to it, but I gotta say the moment when Hillary Clinton addressed other nations during the debate and was like, let me just reassure you, I was like, I definitely felt something magical happening. Well, it was like she's actively doing the job and she doesn't even have it yet.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Yeah, like a sane, competent person might actually be the president. Yeah. You know, I mean, sure, she's the most corrupt politician of all time and she has a horrible neurological disease. But beyond that. She's the pleated eyes and deemed wife of the else of up.
Starting point is 00:24:00 That's right. I mean, that's 100% accurate. That's medically accurate. Yeah, that's 100% medically accurate. Just like the human centipede But you know, I just like I just can't I was very excited to hear anyone in this fucking country sound like they are the president Yeah, because mostly it's been sounding like I don't know, a character from the humans and a piece. Been sounding like South Park, for being honest. Yeah, I mean, so many meds, so many tweets that Donald Trump was Cartman.
Starting point is 00:24:32 And I have to say, like, I have to say, like the similarities between Cartman and Donald Trump, and I'm not a big South Park watcher, but the similarities between Cartman and Donald Trump are striking. It's shocking. It really is. All right, number 10. On the Iraq war, he, here we are halfway. It's the. It really is. All right, number 10 on the Iraq war.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Here we are halfway. This is the halfway point. Halfway point, he said. Mr. Trump, a lot of these are judgment questions. You had supported the war in Iraq before the invasion. What makes your judgment? I did not support the war in Iraq. 2002.
Starting point is 00:24:59 That is a mainstream media nonsense put out by her. What does Carl Sean Hannity mean? Carl Sean Hannity's like, you know, when Donald, when the war started breaking out, Donald and Sean got in the phone and they had a long conversation into the night. They talked about their hopes, their fears, their dreams. It was very ASMR, it was very, you know, and it was huge. And I think I would be huge. They talked for a long time and Donald was like, I don't know, I'm worried about the Iraq war. I feel like we shouldn't do it in Sean was like, don't worry Donald.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Anyhow, I think that's what happened. But I heard the recording of when he said that we should go to war in Iraq actually. Yeah. And it's sort of funny because it's on the Howard Stern show and Howard is like what do you think should we should we go to Iraq and Trump is kind of like his reaction is something like this are you from the Iraq yeah I guess so uh...
Starting point is 00:25:57 haha presidential it's like a very presidential it but it's also like he wasn't gun hoe about it i'll'll say that. I mean, I'll give the guy this He wasn't like yeah, we got it going to the right No, he committed, but he just did it in a way that was really strange to me. It was like Yeah, I guess so. I guess we should go to war, but by the way, it's not how you make a decision I guess so like if you're like should we go to war and someone's like I guess so I think that's like you need to take
Starting point is 00:26:24 You're talking you're talking about a man who built a casino across the street from his other casino So I don't know if like the say that sounds like a business Let me explain let me explain explain something to you when I was a kid a Hollywood video opened up across the street from a Blockbuster video, okay? Uh-huh, and then somebody told me that they were owned by the same company Which I believe may have been via a con, but I'm not entirely sure.
Starting point is 00:26:49 The long and short of it is that I realized what a great idea that was. It's like, you're like, oh, I'm gonna go over to Hollywood video, they have better prices. But you're still, you're still at a blockbuster. You're using one to drive the traffic and the other. It's like when they, I'm gonna go to a blockbuster of the mind
Starting point is 00:27:04 because that's where you are. No, but- Does it even know what blockbuster is? I mean, is this ridiculous? Does it even be remember blockbuster video? I remember going to the last blockbuster video. On the last day, it was open in New York City because I wanted to see it
Starting point is 00:27:17 and it was the saddest thing I'd ever seen. We used to go to, there was a blockbuster in Greenpoint that we used to hit. I worked at blockbuster for a day, one day. Ooh. I worked, when I was 16, I there was a blockbuster in Greenpoint that we used to hit. I worked at blockbuster for a day, one day. I worked, when I was 16, I worked at a blockbuster in Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh. And I went in, and I was like, oh, this is gonna be so awesome. It's gonna be like the movie guy, the movie clerks
Starting point is 00:27:39 you see in all film and television. You know, they're like nerds, they're always talking about like crazy cult movie. You're watching movies all day, while people watch movies all day. You're talking about your favorite junk carpenter, you know, jump scare or whatever. And it turned out like they were just like,
Starting point is 00:27:54 can you put these super action movies away on the shelf? Someone rewind these videos. I mean, do you remember, I don't know if you remember this, but Blockbuster used to have weird sections. Have I talked about this in the podcast before? I don't think so. I mean, I don't know if you remember this, but Blockbuster used to have weird sections. Have I talked about this in the podcast before? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:28:08 I mean, I don't. Okay, good. I'm getting hazy, honestly. I'm losing my mind. There's so much going on with the outline. I can barely keep it all straight. But Blockbuster used to have sections that were called mega action and super action.
Starting point is 00:28:21 And they were all of the Chuck Norris movies and weird sequels and stuff. It was like cartoon action movies. So in case you were looking for Die Hard, you knew that wasn't in that section. Die Hard wouldn't be in that section because Die Hard's like a real movie. Or it would be in that section
Starting point is 00:28:36 as like masters of the universe or like any other Delflan Green vehicle. All of the kickboxer films, probably a cyborg, the Van Dam movie cyborg. They used to do TV and specific genres, but they would only give you one DVD of the TV show at a time. So you'd get four episodes of Will & Grace
Starting point is 00:28:54 for like $8.99, and then you have to come back and get the next four episodes of Will & Grace. Just some real time fact checking over here, they were a Hollywood video was not owned by blockbusters. Oh my God. They were almost the target of a hostile takeover, but antitrust concerns made that impossible. So I heard an urban legend when I was younger
Starting point is 00:29:12 and I've been believing this my whole life. Yeah, I just rocked the world. Oh my God, I had no idea. Was blockbuster owned by Viacom? I don't think so. No, because they went completely out of business. Yeah. So what, I mean, things go out of business. Yeah. Well, it doesn't, so what?
Starting point is 00:29:25 I mean, things go out of business. Well, you would think it would get folded in as a brand or something if it was owned by... Into what? Into a different video store? No, we want it's videos. Well, they have their online video service, remember, and then it failed.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Yeah, that also failed. Yeah. All right, it's not important. I can't believe this. This Hollywood video, Blockbuster video thing, it's a blowing mind. If I come, I'm just a Blockbuster. Oh, boom.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Motherfucker. You're right, you're right. Okay. If I come did purchase blockbuster. Oh boom. Mother fucker. You're right. You're right. You're right. You fact checked me. I tried to gas let you like Donald Trump. Don't ever question me unless it's a bit specifically about Hollywood video and blockbuster video in which case you feel free to question openly question.
Starting point is 00:29:57 That's a debate that we're producing for this show. Okay. That's a debate. Okay, we're going to take a break. We're going to hear from our sponsor and we'll be right back with with more debate talk and more Ryan Hillhand and more blockbuster facts.

We're back with debate prep and Ryan Holhan, Ryan, you've number 11 hit me. Regarding oil in Iraq, he said. Secretary Clinton is talking about taking out ISIS. We will take out ISIS. Well, President Obama and Secretary Clinton created a vacuum the way they got out of Iraq, because they got out, they shouldn't have been in, but once they got in, the way they got out of a wreck Because they got out well. They shouldn't have been in but once they got in the way they got out was a disaster
Starting point is 00:32:09 And ISIS was formed so she talks about taking them out. She's been doing a long time She's been trying to take them out for a long time But they wouldn't have even been formed if they left some troops behind Like 10,000 or maybe something more than, and then you wouldn't have had them. Or as I've been saying for a long time, and I think you'll agree, because I said it to you once, had we taken the oil,
Starting point is 00:32:33 and we should have taken the oil, ISIS would not have been able to form either, because the oil was their primary source of income. Annexing oil from another nation is against like the hate convention and the Geneva convention. It's illegal. It's illegal. Here's two thing, a couple of things to think about. It's illegal to can't just take the resources of another country, especially if you're there under the guise of like promoting democracy and creating a freedom situation.
Starting point is 00:33:07 But also, we would have had to, you don't just take, this is something you just scoop the oil out and you put it on a ship and then you send it over here. The oil is there, it's being manufactured, it's coming out of the ground, you have to maintain it, you have to like get it. You have to extract it. No, no, no, no, no, Josh. There's a backpack full of oil that was just not sitting there.
Starting point is 00:33:30 No, you have to, so we'd have to leave us like a standing army to defend the oil. We would still be like there. They would have corporations and private companies and a standing army. Like that would upset up. That would have, hey, you know what? Maybe it would have been better. Maybe that could have prevented ISIS. I'm a Trump on this one. I'm a Trump on this one. You know, you don't go to Iraq and not come back with some oil. You know what, Josh, I'm getting concerned. He's in to be with Trump on a lot of these. Trump?
Starting point is 00:33:54 Trump's started to make a lot of sense to me, actually. You know what, four more years of this, four more years of the election, this is what I'm after. All right, God, what's the next one? On ISIS, he said, the next segment will continue in the subject itself. Well, at least I have a plan to fight ISIS. It's too big for us.
Starting point is 00:34:10 No, no, you're telling the enemy everything you want to do. No, we're not. See, you're telling the enemy everything you want to do. No wonder you've been fighting, no wonder you've been fighting ISIS your entire adult life. This one I love. I tweeted about this one. Hillary Clinton is how old?
Starting point is 00:34:27 68 years old. She's a 68 year old woman. So she would have been fighting ISIS for 50 years. Is that right? My math's not that good. I think that's correct. I think ISIS is a common adult. I started in 1876. Her entire entire adult life. What is he talking about? Isis has been around since 20, 13. No, you don't remember when the first lady was on the ground, boots on the ground fighting Isis. You don't remember the 90s? No, it doesn't.
Starting point is 00:34:54 The 90s. How about the 60s, 70s? God. At any rate, that was a patently insane thing for him to say. Truly, truly remarkable stuff. What number are we on? Number 13. This is brisk. This is real brisk. thing for him to say truly truly remarkable stuff or what what number we on number 13 this is brisk this is real brisk it was brisk and now we're going to stop and frisk
Starting point is 00:35:09 oh nice that's great great segue you're a real pro he said stop and frisk was ruled on constitutional in new york because it largely singled out black and Hispanic young now you're wrong it went before a judge who was a very against police judge. It was taken away from her. And our mayor, our new mayor, refused to go forward with the case. They would have won her a bill. If you look at it throughout the country,
Starting point is 00:35:39 there are many places where you're going. The argument is that it's a form of racial profiling. No, the argument is that we have to take the guns away from these people that have them and that are bad people that shouldn't have them. These are felons, these are people that are bad people that shouldn't be, when you have 3,000 shootings, Chicago, from January 1st, when you have 4,000 people
Starting point is 00:36:00 killed in Chicago by guns from the beginning of the presidency of Barack Obama his hometown. You have to stop in Frisk. You need more police? And he also claimed that murders are up in New York. Actually interesting stat that were just crime statistics released. In 2015, murders were up across the US 11%. Well, it was a trend. Hold on a second. In 2015, murders were up across the US 11%.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Well, it was a trend. Hold on a second. No, but I mean, it was a trend. Kids are into murder. They were into murder. 2015 murders were up across the US by 11%. I'm telling you, this Trump is onto something. This is a stat I just heard.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Now, that was mostly because of a rise in murders in major cities, places like Chicago. But it turns out that in 2016 murder rates are down, they're falling actually. And so it's not like there is some evidence that there is a pattern of growth in the murder market. Well, it's like you can't look at the trend in a year. You have to look at the trend in like that. But he decade.
Starting point is 00:37:09 But what he was saying was, it was wrong, which is that murders were up in New York, which they had not. Yeah, they're not. Which is, which it was just a lie. Well, and also he's conveniently forgetting that, no matter what effect they had on murder, it was ruled on constitutional and racist
Starting point is 00:37:24 by like our, like the Supreme Court. So, but doesn't matter. But his logic and the logic of the people that like him is very, very simplistic. It's like, murder bad, stop and frisk, prevent murder,
Starting point is 00:37:39 stop and frisk good. Like, it isn't like, it isn't like, then no one's thinking about people's rights. These are people who, when they see, remember the people who support Trump or when they see Black Lives Matter protests or when they see people protesting
Starting point is 00:37:55 an unarmed Black man or woman being shot by the police, they, their thought is these people are rioting and they have to be like stopped by the police. Like these people are, what's wrong with them? Why are they so angry? Why are they causing more violence and anger in our cities? Like they don't think like, oh, they have a point or wow, maybe there's some stuff that I need to consider
Starting point is 00:38:16 or this is really complex and you know, the black community is deals with a lot of shit that I don't have to deal with and so I should kind of like check myself. But like they don't think that. They're like, they think, they think. I don't have to deal with and so I should kind of like check myself. But like they don't think that. They don't think they think. They don't like fuck these people. How dare they riot?
Starting point is 00:38:27 They think Latoya Jackson good. Latoya Jackson on celebrity apprentice. Celebrity apprentice has Donald Trump. Donald Trump good. I think they think also celebrity apprentice good. But I think like honestly like I just will I will say this. I just think that there is no like there's no like the logic switches are broken in a lot of these. By the way, I don't think that like
Starting point is 00:38:48 everybody who supports Donald Trump is a bad person. But I do think, but I do think, if I've probably said this before, if you support Donald Trump, you support racism and racist policies, and I think that by default, basically makes you racist. And you know, it's like if you're like, I'm sorry, I don't mean to bring this back to Hitler,
Starting point is 00:39:09 but it's like if Hitler's like, I've got these economic policies that are gonna help you get out of the, you know, you're in a bad spot, we're gonna help you out. And I think we need to kill all the Jews. And you're like, well, I agree with his economic policies. I don't like what he's saying about the Jews, but I think it's worth giving it a shot because we really need to fix the economy. You know, you're voting for
Starting point is 00:39:32 you know genocide and there's no way around it. And like with Donald Trump, you're voting for a racist who has a history of intense racism and has has talked and fatically about creating racist policies and enforcing racist laws. And so like, you know, you kind of like, you can't have one but not the other. You have to. Well, you're voting for the worst things in your candidate.
Starting point is 00:39:56 And I guess the worst thing you can say about Hillary Clinton is that she had private email. I'm okay voting for private email over racist. I hear, here's the thing. I'm okay if, listen, I think it's perfectly fine if you go, like Hillary Clinton is a fucking liar and I can't trust her and she's corrupt and she's a criminal.
Starting point is 00:40:12 But like there's no way in reality that Donald Trump isn't worse. And so you just have to really pick and choose. Like most politicians are corrupt in some way. Most politicians have done things that you probably don't agree with. It's like, if your choice is trumping, I mean Clinton can like, as far as I'm concerned,
Starting point is 00:40:31 Clinton could like commit a murder on live television at this point. I'd still be like, well, they were like, she's so sick, she has pneumonia. It's like she could have three kinds of Zika and like, you know, and cancer and I would still vote for her over Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Yeah, I mean, that's not right. That's not a deal breaker for me. No. I mean, I don't know, three kinds of Zika, I don't even, that sounds like a little bit of trouble. I would number a wee out. We're not even at 13 yet, are we? We're at 14.
Starting point is 00:40:57 14, wonderful. bankruptcy. And when we talk about your business, you've taken business bankruptcy six times. There are a lot of great business people that have never taken bankruptcy once. You call yourself the king of debt. I built an unbelievable company.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Some of the greatest assets anywhere in the world, real estate assets anywhere in the world, beyond the United States and Europe, lots of different places. It's an unbelievable company. But on occasion, four times, we used certain laws that are there. And when Secretary Clinton talks about people that didn't get paid, first of all, they did get paid a lot,
Starting point is 00:41:41 but taken advantage of the laws of the nation. Now, if you want to change the laws, you've been there a long time, change the laws. It's actually true. He's been... That's wrong. It's been bankrupt six times, five times for casinos. You know, his incredible during the debate was right towards the end when Hillary was talking about the woman in the beauty pageant.
Starting point is 00:42:04 And he was like, where did you get that? Where did you hear that? And she was like quoting at her. Yeah. And I was like, this makes him sound so guilty of whatever she's accused of him of. It's like somebody, it's like somebody going online. I'm gonna press store about it.
Starting point is 00:42:19 It's an amazing phenomenon. She weighed one eight pin. Right. What she want, I don't know if you saw the contest last year, it was from Las Vegas. You're right. What she want. She was as beautiful a woman as I've ever seen She looked like Cindy Crawford. Right. She gained about 55 pounds in a period of 9th She was like an eating machine. What is a girl eat to gain fit? I mean in less than a year to gain
Starting point is 00:42:37 I mean did you what where was she? I don't see a lot of everything. Oh my god I mean her bowel movements. How many did she have a death? I terminate her crown You know her pervert now you were smart you are turned into a you turned into an event you said all this has become a major event you went on the company did all the reporters where did you hear that what you get that would you give you who gave you that information would you get that i mean that's what he was basically saying it was incredible
Starting point is 00:43:01 anyhow i was fifteen uh... regarding the national debt you even at one time suggested that you would try to negotiate down the national debt of the united states earlier this year he said mister truck you talk about that and uh... you are uh... to some degree the king of debt i appreciate that point um... you've also renegotiated that agreement over the years do you believe that we in terms of the united states
Starting point is 00:43:23 uh... need to pay a hundred cents on the dollar do you think there's actually ways that we could really negotiate that that i think i think i think i've i've barrowed knowing that you can pay back with this can't and i've i've done very well with that now of course i was swash buckling and it did well for me and it was good for me and all that and and you know that was
Starting point is 00:43:42 sort of always interesting to me now we're in a different situation with a country, but I would borrow knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal. And if the economy was good, it was good. So therefore, you can't lose. It's like, you know, you make a deal before you go into a poker game. But Mr. Chair, are you suggesting that we're much better? We would negotiate with the US credit in such a way. I say it again.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Are you suggesting, I mean, I understand that you've done this in business deals, but are you suggesting we would negotiate with the US credit in such a way? Because I think there are times for us to refinance, we refinance that with longer term because, you know, we owe so much money. It's so nobody talks about it. Nobody talks about it until the bubble pops and the bubble could pop. That's great. That's what I want. I want to, I'd present it. He's not afraid to just make a deal. The idea that he would just, you know, get the Federal Reserve, like, you know, Janet Yellen and some Chinese businessman in a room and really hammer out the global economy.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Have you seen the film? I'm sorry, have you seen the TV show House of Cards? I mean, I think I, I mean, it made it's possible that Donald Trump has, has gotten all of his ideas about how the government has run the Kevin Space. But from Kevin Space. I mean, the stuff that Kevin Space he does on House of Cards is most has a very trumpian
Starting point is 00:44:53 quality to it. You know, there's definitely a lot of like- He imagine himself as a larger than life character who just like, brashly tells people what he wants. I mean, Trump's definitely larger than life. Sure. I mean, you gotta definitely larger than life. Sure. I mean, you gotta give him that. He's an incredible character.
Starting point is 00:45:09 I think in his imagination, he's very suave. And it's not goofy at all. But you know what? You can say the same thing about Kevin Spacey. I think in Kevin Spacey. I mean, imagination, it's the same thing. I, you know, there was an interview with him. And somebody said, what's somebody asked him a question?
Starting point is 00:45:23 I was just listening to a reporter, I guess asked him what's something that people don't know about him that he wishes they would write about it and he said how nice I am. Which makes me again, makes me feel really bad for him. Yeah, and maybe he is a really nice guy. Like when you just, you know, Hitler was very sweet.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Actually, Hitler was very sweet guy. He was very good to his dogs, he had a girlfriend. I mean, he wasn't, he was vegan. He was vegan. You know, I mean, he was sweet. I mean, sweet to the immediate people in his immediate sense. I mean, it's obviously a monster, but I do you do have to imagine the Trump probably is well Trump also said they said What are you the proudest of for this debate? And he said the thing I'm proudest of is not bringing up Bill Clinton's affairs Which I think in his book, made him like a nice guy. That was incredible, he's that thing where he was like,
Starting point is 00:46:09 you know, thought of something, I could have said it. He's very hurtful. I didn't say it. But I didn't say it. I didn't say it. I thought of it, didn't say it. Wouldn't you like to know? I thought he was gonna say it.
Starting point is 00:46:20 I was waiting for him to say it. I could say, your husband cheated on you. But I didn't. I was like, please, please, I was dying. I was like, please, fucking say it. It would have been the greatest thing. I mean, because the second he utters anything about that, it's over for him.
Starting point is 00:46:32 It's truly over for him. Yeah, I was thinking, I hope you say it. I fucking hope you say it. No, because that's it, because there's no, it takes it to such a, I mean, he's so dirty already, but it takes it to such a dirty, low place. Yeah. That I just don't think anybody who is undecided or
Starting point is 00:46:47 honest. And it's not like anybody doesn't know about that. About what? That it's not like anybody's like monogal Lewinsky. Now, what's that about? Like we all know. Number 16, regarding Hillary's resume, he said, and Hillary, I just asked you this, you've been doing this for 30 years. Why are you just thinking about these solutions right now? For 30 years you've been doing it, and now you're just starting to think of solutions.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Well, I will bring back jobs. I, you know, I like that Hillary waited. She waited to start, you know, she wanted to get all the information. That's the thing I like about her. She's prepared. She prepared for this for 30 years And then now it's just now for the first time suggesting according to MSNBC. She's over prepared
Starting point is 00:47:34 That's an incredible I think credible Accusation yeah accusation. Yeah, you're too confident. You're too prepared. She's too rich. She too many facts. I'm too ready to answer questions. It's very upset. You're way too healthy. You're way too thin. You're way too rich. You're like too beautiful. All right. What's 17? Number 17. Nepoti- regarding nepotism.
Starting point is 00:47:56 My father gave me a very small loan in 1975 and I built it into a company that's worth many, many billions of dollars with some of the greatest assets in the world. And I say that only because that's the many, many billions of dollars with some of the greatest assets in the world. And I say that only because that's the kind of thinking that our country needs, our countries in deep trouble. We don't know what we're doing when it comes to devaluations and all of these countries all over the world, especially China. They're the best, the best ever at it.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Um, actually, Heather Clinton pointed this out during the debate, but his dad actually gave him a loan of $14 million, which is very interesting. The interesting thing about that exchange was she said it was $14 million, and then he said, well, my father gave me a small loan. He said, actually, he said something about you and I have a new facts, right, or something like that. He was like, my father gave me a small loan and it was like, was Donald Trump saying that the number she provided was not correct, which I think is how some people might have read it.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Or was he saying, and this is how I read it, that $14 million is not a lot of money to him. And I feel like he definitely is, and he's also the kind of guy that would love to tell you that $14 million is a small amount of money to him. It doesn't, if you're a person, I mean, that was the thing that people didn't want Mitt Romney for where they were like, he's out of touch with regular people.
Starting point is 00:49:12 I know. But with Donald Trump, they love it. I mean, this is the strange thing about Donald Trump's appeal is that people who he would love to fuck over, he would fuck over in the bat of an eye, hardworking Americans. People who he actually said, a person he actually said, he fucked over who was like clearly, was in the audience, someone he just didn't pay. A construction worker or something.
Starting point is 00:49:38 That those people for some reason look at him and they're like, yeah, this is who I wanna be. This guy can help me get to where I want to go. And they love the fact that he doesn't pay taxes. Well, that's the thing. They think that it's wonderful that he can dodge taxes. They think that that's a superpower. You know, and it's like, I don't, I'm not saying
Starting point is 00:49:58 that I love paying every piece of, of, of, of, of, you know, every dime that I spend on taxes. But yeah, I mean, you do need to pay for the country to be a country. Well, that's why they vote for tax cuts on the rich because they think one day when I win the lottery because every American thinks that they will at some point be very successful
Starting point is 00:50:15 that that's what they want. That's who they would want to be. You know, when I think we all, anyone in America has won the lottery because we're in the greatest country on the planet. And you know, love it or leave it, and these colors don't run, and I'm proud to be an American.
Starting point is 00:50:31 I do actually think that sometimes that, like, sometimes I think, those colors don't run. No, those colors sometimes they run. I've watched a flag before. I think, I do think sometimes that we are really lucky to be Americans, and sometimes I do do think even like the poorest among us is Like you have to sometimes take a step back and be very appreciative that people paid taxes and built highways and you live in a country with
Starting point is 00:50:54 Highways because rich people and middle-class people pay their taxes Well listen, I mean I mean listen People have a bat there are a lot of people that have it bad in this country Yeah, a lot of people that aren't working there a lot of people that have a bad in this country. There are a lot of people that aren't working, there are a lot of people that need help. And by the way, our government is not done. But listen, a lot of it has to do with the obstructionist set of the government, which is the Republican Party.
Starting point is 00:51:15 I mean, they have, I mean, this sounds obvious, but they really have prevented prosperity in a lot of places. They have they are they have created and maybe not purposefully, maybe not, maybe not, but they've done it because they've wanted to stop. They haven't wanted to be by they haven't wanted to create bipartisan strategies and they want to show term of thinking and the Democrats they wanted to get their power back and they felt like the only way to do it was to obstruct in every way possible. And what they've actually done is really damaged the American people.
Starting point is 00:51:52 Anyhow, the Tea Party is the ultimate cup up. And Donald Trump is essentially rides into the Republican party on a wave, on the Tea Party wave. And it is the perfect come up. Because the lunatics are running the assignment. Well you want it Sarah Palin. Here's Super Sarah Palin. Have a good time.
Starting point is 00:52:08 I mean he makes, he makes Sarah Palin look like fucking Socrates by comparison. You know, he makes Sarah Palin look like one of the greatest. He makes Sarah Palin look like Hillary Clinton. Yeah, I mean it's like, I long for the days of sanity that Sarah Palin provided when I heard Donald Trump speak, You know, it's insane. All right, number 18 jobs. Oh man, we're really getting up there. He said thousands of jobs leaving Michigan, leaving Ohio, they're all leaving, and we can't
Starting point is 00:52:36 allow it to happen anymore. Unemployment in Michigan dropped from 14.9% to 4.5% since 2009. That's a drop of over 10%. I'm sorry. That's because of the people left. They're all leaving. Oh, you know, you weren't listening to him. It's not just the jobs the people are going as well.
Starting point is 00:52:56 No, I mean, I felt this is another place where I felt kind of bad for Donald. For he's like, they're all leaving. And I took it, I read it as like, they're leaving me. Oh, oh, oh, oh. They're like, Donald's, he's like, wait, come back. No, guys. He got it. He's like, I got a six pack.
Starting point is 00:53:10 You guys heard about this new hotel. How about when he put a fucking ad for his hotel right in the middle of the debate? What's a hotel? Where is a hotel? He was like, we're building a hotel in DC right down on Pennsylvania Avenue and either way I'll get there. And he was like, it's gorgeous. It's a gorgeous hotel. I he was like, it's gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:53:25 It's gorgeous hotel. I thought that one, I thought that was a little bit of a weird, uh, there's a strange way to phrase it. It was like he's planning to have his, he's crafting his narrative for when he loses, which is that this was all a scam and it was rigged. And I, you know what, I'm still gonna be there. I'm still gonna be successful.
Starting point is 00:53:43 I've still got a big future, you know? Well, I like that, I did think it was strange, it was like, you know, it was kind of like one way or another, I'm gonna get to the White House, it had a kind of, one it sort of, he sort of admitted that he maybe wasn't going to win or it might not win. And also it had a kind of a stalker-y vibe to it.
Starting point is 00:54:01 He's gonna be hanging out. Number 19. He also raised the issue of your emails. Do you want to respond to that? I do. You know, I made a mistake using a private email. That's a issue. And if I had to do it over again, I would obviously do it differently. But I'm not gonna make any excuses. It was a mistake.
Starting point is 00:54:21 And I take responsibility for that. Mr. Trump. That was more than a mistake and i take responsibility for that miss a trot that was more than a mistake that was done purposely okay that was not a mistake that was done purposely the fby itself said that it was very careless and that just like colon powell she should not have done it but that there was no intent to purposefully
Starting point is 00:54:42 harm the united states and that there was no intent to purposefully harm the United States. And there was no evidence that she was purposely trying to mishandle classified information. Like it was obviously a mistake. And she says that. And she says, I take responsibility. But the problem with this and what gets me is that all Americans are going to hear is that she said, I made a mistake. And they think, well, if you've made a mistake, you can't be president. Like I actually, I got to say, I took it the other way.
Starting point is 00:55:06 I thought I didn't feel like there was, I think the reason that Trump basically had no pushback to that, I mean, he really didn't have much of a pushback, was that what she said was like, pretty much what you wanna hear from somebody. She said, yeah, I did it, I screwed up, take responsibility for it. I don't think that is sticking.
Starting point is 00:55:28 I mean, if the email stuff is sticking, it's sticking with a type of voter who has another problem with Hillary Clinton. I think that, you know, look, they both have problems. They both have made mistakes, but his mistakes are way more flagrant. I mean, the charity stuff that they've talked about
Starting point is 00:55:47 with Trump. Trump University, that's bad. Trump University, which is like literally being investigated as a scam and they're going to be sued or are being sued over that. And then there's this, you know, these charity scams that he's been running where he's paying himself out of the charities.
Starting point is 00:56:02 I mean, it's just really nasty stuff. He's using like funds to get portraits of himself in Melania and pay off his own legal death. Can I just say something? I have two things, like one. This makes me think like it's so it's so shameful and insane to me that of all the people that Hillary Clinton could have been debating last night in American politics that she had she was up against Trump. This is like historic deal like a woman Becoming president if Hillary Clinton becomes president is a huge huge deal and very important and the idea that like her sparring partner here that her like the person who's Supposed to be raising you know the people who should be like raising the dialogue like for to the benefit of the American people It's her in in Donald fucking Trump the reality show start and I have to say like
Starting point is 00:56:44 When Bill Clinton walked out with Melania, I mean, what is it like to be you were the president of the fucking United States? Your wife is running to be president. And Melania is like, I mean, just on completely, completely different level, just a whole different game. And, like, what is it like to be Bill Clinton walking out with Melania as like the first man and first lady? Well, they both had to do those fucking cookie recipes for that magazine that does it every time for the spouses. And it was like, he submitted the same recipe that Hillary did, which is both times been labeled the Clinton family recipe, as opposed to my recipe.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Why didn't he drop some like vegan, some crazy vegan shit on everybody? He's vegan, I think. Yeah, he is vegan, and very thin. It's cool. Yeah, very skinny. All right, here we go. This is it. Number 20, the last one.
Starting point is 00:57:38 The last one. Regarding the DNC hacks. As far as the cyber, I agree to parts of what Secretary Clinton said. We should be better than anybody else, and perhaps we're not. I don't think anybody knows it was Russia that broke into the DNC. She's saying Russia, Russia, Russia, but I don't, maybe it was. I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, okay? You don't know who broke in to DNC.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Yes. I mean, yes it could have, but Putin has a history of doing that. The specificity of his name. Quite an improv. Quite an improv, Mr. Trump. It's so specific. It's a guy, a 400 pound guy on his bed. He's describing the alt-right reddits. I think Donald Trump is a very, I mean, he's a very vivid imagination and that's one of the things that I really enjoy about listening to him speak. That's maybe the only thing I enjoy about listening to him speak
Starting point is 00:58:33 is I can appreciate his extremely vivid imagination. I just love that imagery and that was during his whole cyber thing. I mean, the cyber thing was completely insane. I mean, they both kind of sound insane when they talk about cyber security. But... My son is 10 years old and he's very good with computers the cyber thing was completely insane. I mean, they both kind of sound insane when they talk about cyber security. But, My son is 10 years old and he's very good with computers
Starting point is 00:58:49 and you don't wanna get on his bedside or whatever you said. Did he say that? Yeah, he was like, he's like, my 10 year old son is greater computers. It could have been him. I must have been tweeting during that moment. He said it might have been his son, real? Yeah, but.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Baron? Yeah. He was like, he's great with computers like kids I get a win you don't know what these kids can do. I love to I love to see his son use a computer I would love to see doesn't he have been like a a nanny or something that uses the computer for him Nanny I want the iPad and they pull out It is like a gold like a gold pony that does the iPad for him I want to point out in my research that cybersecurity agencies,
Starting point is 00:59:27 CrowdStrike, Fidelis, Mandiant, and Threat Connect, literally all of them unanimously linked the hack to Russian military intelligence. But Donald Trump has a ton of business-related ties in Russia. We don't know. We don't know. It could be a 400 pound guy.
Starting point is 00:59:42 I think it's important that people try. It could be China, it could be China, it could be Baron, it could be Baron. I don't know, maybe be a 400 pound guy. I think it's important that people try. It could be China, it could be China, it could be Baron, it could be Baron. I don't know, maybe it's Rosie O'Donnell. Maybe it's that pretty bad. You gotta see him. Rosie O'Donnell. You know, Rosie O'Donnell.
Starting point is 00:59:54 She's got a computer. I've seen her tweet. What I love, what I love about Trump is he won't be like, he's never like, you know what I probably shouldn't have said that. Yeah. You know, he's never like, you know what I apologize. I said some rude things. You know, we all make like, you know what I apologize. I said some rude things. You know, we all make mistakes.
Starting point is 01:00:07 You know, if you Trump is really smart, he'd be like, listen, you know, we all make mistakes. You made mistakes about your server. And I said some not very nice things about Rosie that I really regret. And that would be people would be like, wow, Trump is so magnanimous. He's so magnanimous.
Starting point is 01:00:19 He's so, he's being such a good guy. Like, Trump's really turned to court. I mean, literally if Trump had just been like, you know what I feel bad about that stuff? I said about Rosie, I apologize to her. People would have lost their fucking mind. He either doubles down or he did nies. Like the misuniverse thing, he said, or a misUSA thing,
Starting point is 01:00:34 he said she was mispigging, she was so fat, and his statement regarding it today was, she was very fat. Like, what? It's crazy. It's crazy. I love it. I'd love to go through life like Trump.
Starting point is 01:00:45 Like, just jamming, just carbon. Do it like South China. Just anything that pops into your head, you just say it. You say it as much as you want and then you become elected fucking president of the United States of America. I wish you wrap up here. That's it. Those are 20.
Starting point is 01:01:02 This is very good. Ryan, I actually, you know, I was skeptical of your plan at the beginning. I wanted to do something on the debate, but I didn't know what you had in mind. And I have to say, you know, you did a very, very, very mediocre job, and I really appreciate it. No, I'm kidding. Hold on, strike that. Actually, you know, I didn't know what to expect.
Starting point is 01:01:18 And you did a very, very excellent job, and I really enjoyed it. And you're going to make a great cabinet member on Trump's cabinet. No, this was this is good. We should do this after every debate. Hopefully, I will never have to hear a fucking, oh, wait, we've got two more debates. The next debate is on October 9th. Yes. They're right. And then the last debate is on my birthday, October 19th. Well, happy birthday to you. Do you have any plans? I'm going to be drinking. I'm definitely going to be drinking. Okay, well, we wrap up here but Ryan thank you so much of course you know again you had to do this but I still appreciate the efforts. The money
Starting point is 01:01:52 is the thank you. That's right. The money is the thank. That's what I pay you money. That's what the money's for. That's what the money's for. Look it's all words, it's all sound bites. It's all words, it's all sound bites. Well that is 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 just received a report that your family has been hacked by a 400 pound man on a bed and it's not looking good.
