And we thank them for sponsoring the show.
Well, no, I'll just go ahead.
I mean, look, I'm money dumb.
Y'all know that.
I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life.
And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion,
because you used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing.
But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.
It's just like, you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month,
how much you're spending.
A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis.
I'm not going to lie, I can be one of those people.
Like, let me ask you right now, skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people,
people across the skewniverse, I should say.
Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year?
Do you even know?
Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery,
getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low mane?
Because that's a thing that we do in this society.
Do you know how much you spend on that?
It's probably more than you think.
But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better,
and it's called Rocket Money.
Rocket Money is a personal finance app
that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions,
monitors your spending,
and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings.
Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place,
including subscriptions you already forgot about.
If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore,
Rocket Money will help you cancel it.
Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture,
including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days.
In a way that's easier for you to digest,
you can even automatically create,
custom budgets based on your past spending.
Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled
subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps.
Premium features.
I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different
language learning services that I just wasn't using.
So I was probably like, I should know Spanish.
I'll learn Spanish.
and I've just been paying to learn Spanish
without practicing any Spanish for, you know,
pertinent two years now or something like that.
Also, a fun one, I'd said it before,
but I got an app,
lovely little app where you could, you know,
put your friends' faces onto funny reaction gifts
and stuff like that.
So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two,
those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies.
You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball-looking twin fellas.
Yeah.
So that was money.
What was that a reply gift for?
Just when I did something stupid.
Something fat, I think, and stupid.
Something both fat and stupid.
But anyway, that was money well spent at first.
But then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten.
If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out.
So shout out to them.
They help.
If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help.
So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket
Money.

slash well read and we thank them for sponsoring this episode of the podcast they're the
well well well hey hey here we are we're in richmond Virginia it's sunday night we've been here
since Friday. We've done five shows
at the Richmond Funny Bone. All sold
out, not trying to brag. Well, Friday
late. Has this not...
Has this not been
the best weekend?
Oh my God. Consider it's in one place.
I mean, it's on, Richmond has been
unreal. I was telling Drew
when we were out, we were out on the curb waiting on you
to get out there, which you weren't late. I mean, so we just
happened to be out there early. And I was telling him, like,
how usually exhausted we are after
like, for me personally, four or five
days into a run.
I was like, I feel pretty relaxed.
And I always attributed it to the booze and how shitty we eat.
But apparently it's just the travel.
When you take travel out of the situation and I'm just able to be in one place at one time,
I'm pretty, I can get drunk all night and then still fucking fire on all cylinders at the show and feel great.
So, like, this has been a great weekend for me.
For sure, because, yeah, usually what we do is.
Not just getting in and out of a car all the time.
And usually what we do is we will, like, fly into one city.
We'll do one or two shows that night.
And the next day, we get in the car and drive to a neighboring city.
Sometimes that's three hours.
Sometimes it's fucking seven hours.
Right.
And yeah.
And then we drive there.
We get out.
We do the show.
That night, we get up the next morning and drive again.
And I mean, yeah, that shit takes it out of you, man.
Like, so I couldn't agree more.
Being in one place for a few days, it makes it, it makes it a lot easier.
Yeah, because that's what I said.
I was on the curb earlier, and we were getting ready to do this show.
And I felt so good.
And I was like, I've really been getting drunk for three nights.
but I still feel fine.
Oh, yeah, we haven't been crammed in a goddamn car yelling at each other.
So it's been great.
So one thing we had talked about privately recently or, you know, all fair,
we're talking about the podcast last week and the episode, which was well received.
Thank you all that enjoyed it.
Yeah, y'all made us hit number two on iTunes.
God damn, that's insane.
People listen to us.
Very cool.
Very terrifying.
But I said to you when we were talking about posting, I was like, man, because we weren't
together.
We were texting.
You're in Georgia.
I'm in L.A.
he's in New York or Tennessee.
And I was like, man, I like this episode, but it, I feel like it kind of sucks because it's coming out in the middle.
It's being released in the middle of all this fucking insanity with Trump that's happening with Comey and all that shit.
And we don't talk about any of that at all because it hadn't happened yet when we recorded it.
And, you know, obviously there wasn't nothing we could do about that.
But we back together now.
and it's all still very much a real thing
is still going on.
So we're going to, uh, let's go in on it a little bit.
Sure.
Go ahead with that.
Yeah.
So dive in, baby.
Have either one of y'all heard of this blog?
And when I say blog, it's, it's like, you know, a very legit and popular blog called
lawfare.
I know.
I haven't.
Okay.
So it's this like kind of like political, whatever blog.
Uh, and the people that work on it are people that are, you know, with fucking
credentials, right?
And like one of the main guys, this guy, Benjamin Witts or Wittis, I don't know, but he's been in the news lot lately because he's very hooked in to all this shit's going on with Trump, right?
And so this dude, just to give you an example, like the kind of people I'm talking about, he's the co-director of Harvard Law School.
He, uh, the senior fellow for governance studies at the Brookings Institution, which is one of America's oldest think tanks.
I don't know any of those words, but fuck yeah.
He's fucking, I'm saying the dude's legit.
For sure.
as far, you know.
And so he and some of the other people for Lawfare co-authored this article that I just read last night,
but it's from the beginning of the month, May 1st.
And it's an article called Seven Thories of the Case.
What do we really know about La Faire Rousse?
And what could it all mean?
So it starts out with a, it's a long-ass article.
Lafaire Rusee, now, is that a Cajun dish?
I'd say that sounds like a French restaurant.
It's the Russian affair.
I didn't know that that was what the intelligentsia was calling it, but apparently it is.
But this article's long as fuck, but it's very interesting and informative.
And it starts out with a summary, again, which is long as hell, of all the, like, facts,
the actual facts surrounding Trump and the connection to Russia and what's going on with that and what is really happening.
Well, here's where we're already going to get some hate is that we're talking about actual facts.
Well, I'm not going to, because it would take too long and I think it would get boring.
If you're listening and you're not familiar with it already, fucking go and read up on the shit that's happened.
But we all have the general gist.
That's the GMP's platform.
Facts are boring.
Now, I'm saying there's no reason for me to just sit here and read this fucking article.
Sure.
But, like, we're all familiar with the, you know, the overview of the shit.
You know, with like Michael Flynn and Carter Page and all those, and sessions.
We got the cliff now.
all that, right?
So everybody's generally aware of that.
What I want to tell you,
what I want to talk to you guys about is what?
The jump off of cliff notes.
I just said we got the cliff notes and like now I feel like in the White House,
the dude that's actually doing the press releases is a new cliff.
And these are the cliff notes.
Yeah, these are the jump off the cliff note.
Yeah, jump off a cliff notes.
That's hilarious.
But it,
the article ends with seven theories of what could this all mean.
And they put them in order of
in order of menace, of like malice, like from most harmless to most, oh shit, we're fucked.
Right. They're not in order of plausibility. And they also say theory number one and theory number seven, the first and last theory, they think are the least plausible, but they are consistent with the facts.
So I'm going to go over the overview of the theories and I'll see what y'all think, what you think is happening.
They also say these theories are not mutually exclusive.
There could be some overlap between them, right?
So this is the theories as far as what's really going on.
Theory number one, it's all a giant set of coincidences and totally disconnected events.
And so this just says it's like, yeah, these things happened, but they have nothing to do with each other.
It's all just a fucking coincidence.
There's nothing there.
Again, they say they don't think this is plausible.
Do you want to speak up individually on each theory?
I'm going to go over very briefly all seven of them real quick.
And if you want me to give you any details on any of them, just tell me.
Sure.
But anyway, it's possible that there's literally nothing here.
Like, it's a possibility, but they don't think that's the situation.
Number two, Donald Trump attracted Russian people.
People that had ties to Russia and were interested in Russia and shit.
He just, he was an obvious choice for those people.
who work in the political sphere to be drawn to.
Like Flynn's like a real, and and,
Tillerson's like a big pro-Russian guy,
and so he put his lot in with Trump early,
and then Trump happened to win.
And that that's what,
and that's what it happened with all of them.
That's kind of the same as number one, coincidence,
but I hear you.
All right, go ahead.
Right.
I'm withdrew on that for sure.
And that Trump just, you know, just whatever,
just didn't give a fuck or didn't notice, didn't care, whatever,
but that's all it was, is that he's the national.
choice for these people to attach themselves to, right?
You know them TGI Fridays, potato skins?
Oh, yeah.
He looked like one of them.
He does?
No, Trump.
I've been trying to figure out what he looks like.
That's what it is.
Yeah, it really is.
Theory of the case number three, the Russian operation.
I want them now.
The Russian operation was never about Trump at all.
And this theory is that, uh, because the other facts of the case as far as shit
that actually happened, all the intelligence community, CIA, FBI, they all agree that
the Russians
actively pursued
meddling in our last election.
Like that did happen.
Like the Scooby-Doo gang.
Like they fucked with it.
Like they went out of their way
to try to influence it.
They're not saying like,
oh, they did,
they made him win or whatever,
but it was a thing they were actively doing it.
And they'd be doing that.
It was an operation.
They'd be doing that.
Yeah, I've seen Rocky and Bowling.
And they said, and so,
and again,
that's pretty much agreed upon
that they did.
So this theory says
that it's not it yes
they did but it ain't got shit to do
with trump it was about Hillary
it was they were
trying to undermine
Hillary that they thought just like everybody else
thought that she would win
so everything was directed
towards
you know again undermining her so when
she won there'd be all these fucking questions
all this shit going on that could have her under her
and Trump was totally ancillary
to do with all this other stuff with Flynn
well again it's the overlap
thing of that the Russians were fucking with Hillary and also these Russian motherfuckers
gravitated towards Trump but again that's not connected so far for me if these theories were
like the seven dwarves that one would be dopey because that was dumb as shit okay theory of the
case number four Russian intelligence actively penetrated the Trump campaign but
Trump did not know about it.
In a traded yeah so this is going to be the one that Trump supporters love the most because
the word penetration and also it says that he
didn't know anything about it and had nothing to do with it. So the idea here is Flynn sold out the country,
you know, maybe Manafort sold out the country, but Trump himself's hands are clean. Totally clean.
He never knew anything. I would say they are pretty clean. He seems like somebody who would wash his
hands all the time. And they're saying, if this theory is the case, if this is what, if this is what,
if this was actually happening, then he might well be the principal victim of the operation.
Oh, Trump's a victim? Well, that's what he's been wanting to be this whole goddamn time.
these, again, these is all just theories and they, you know, they sort of approach it from all sides.
Theory of the case number five, Russian intelligence actively penetrated the Trump campaign, and Trump knew or at least should have known.
And, I mean, that one's pretty self-explanatory.
It was happening, and he did know about it and just try, you know, try to keep it at arm's length or whatever.
or if he didn't, it was so like willfully ignorant, like to the point of not even being plausible that he wouldn't.
That he wouldn't have known about it.
Right.
Right.
And so, honestly, I feel like that one is, in my opinion, I think it's probably something like that.
Right.
Number six.
Well, his entire presidency should have known about it.
Right.
Number six, compromise.
Uh-oh.
That sounds like a laundry place in Russia.
Compromat.
is the Russian term for political blackmail or extortion,
which is, again, they'd be doing that, something they've,
they're known to, I mean, there's a fucking name for it.
Yeah, they hit it that.
But, and basically this theory is, they got some shit on Trump.
Either the financial shit that's, you know,
why he won't release his tax returns or whatever,
and they've got that, they've got that fully documented and whatever else,
or, you know, the whole, the pissing shit or whatever,
or a combination of all that.
Drew made a very good point about that.
As liberals, we cannot be mad about him if he gets pissed on.
No, it's super critical for liberals to be shitty about that.
He wants to get, yeah.
Don't be shitty about piss.
Don't get pissed on, baby.
I love getting pissed on.
Anyway, that he...
Do you?
It's not that I love getting pissed on.
Here's what I know about squirting is that scientifically it's like, no, that's pissed.
That's pissed.
And I have been with squirters in the past.
And it's always hit for me.
I read another article.
That's totally different.
I mean, I read another article.
No, no, no, it is different, but technically it's the same thing.
thing I was getting peed on.
I read another article that said it ain't, like it has urine in it, but it ain't really the same thing.
There's urine in it and adjacent to urine is still urine.
Right. You know what I'm saying?
Like if there's urine, if there's urine in it, if you mix piss and water together and I drink it, I drank it.
But that's the, but that's, we made it almost through the list before we started talking about
piss.
But that's the whole, but that's the whole thing though is that, yeah, like technically, biologically
or whatever, it's either piss or super closely related to it, but that ain't why you're into it.
No, of course.
Which is what makes it totally different than just being into being peed on.
I've never said, hey, pee on me.
I'm just saying if I've been squirted upon, I've been like, good job.
I did my work.
That's the most showing your work you can do in sex.
It's like math.
It's like, oh, I had to have done a good job.
Look at what just happened.
I mean, dude, you take the dirt road to Browntown enough times and you're going to run into some
poop situations probably here and there.
Don't make you want to get shit on your chair.
That don't make you a scat guy.
Sure.
I agree.
I agree.
Well, so to me, that's what that is.
You're right. I just wanted to comment on my own sexuality.
I mean, this is an important conspiracy issue that we need to work out.
But, I mean, I'm also curious about this squirting thing.
Is it P or isn't it?
There's P in it.
I think it's basically you said it.
Yeah, there's.
But if there's P in it, it's P.
Urea or whatever it is, like that is in that.
But there's actually some like debate as to whether, okay, but does that make, is it the same thing as P or not?
No, but what I'm saying, and I still feel like it holds true,
if I piss a little bit in a water bottle and then feel the rest of it up in water and you drink it, you drank piss.
So it's still pissed.
If there's a little bit of piss in it, it's piss.
But you, so, I mean, there's probably a very minuscule amount, but just to illustrate a point.
They probably piss in your wiener.
Yeah.
When you come, because it all comes out the same hole.
Yeah.
Well, that don't make, that don't make.
No, I'm just laughing.
This is supposed to be the podcast where we talk about, like, serious stuff.
And we'll get into it.
And this is treasonous.
But this is like, we're fucking.
So I'm saying, I feel like there's a little more.
You just can't mention pissing on people.
There's a little.
There's a little more of a gray area, a yellow area.
Then you're acting like there is.
No, no, no, I agree.
I agree.
Because you're like, but the ultra point was what Drew's point was a couple weeks ago.
It's like, I'm not mad at Donald Trump if he likes to get pissed.
beat on. That's not going to be the thing I come
to him for. That's totally fine. The three
of us are all on the same page as far as that goes.
In discussion, that's literally all I want to talk about, was
getting pissed on as fine. Okay.
So, it won't happen, but
it would hit for me so hard
if, like,
somebody who
works with lawfare and with these people
actually listens to this podcast,
or they just saw it,
or it's like, hey, you know, to this
wittisk of the director of the Harvard Law School.
It's like, these guys actually go into your
podcast and like he's listening to it
to see what we say.
Now hold on.
I'm being paid on.
I was like,
now come ain't paid.
That's going to be the title of this episode.
Come ain't pay.
But so,
theory number six,
compromise.
They have something on Trump.
And that's why all this is happening.
Lord,
what is number seven?
Political blackmail.
And again,
these are in order of malice.
Theory number seven,
the president of the United States
is a Russian agent.
and again, pretty self-explanatory.
And they say, they're like, look, like we said,
we think this is not very plausible,
but it is consistent with everything that has happened,
so we're listing it.
So those are the seven theories ranging from,
it's all coincidental,
nothing really is happening to Trump is a fucking rusky
and everything in between.
And that's it.
And again,
I can read specific details of shit if y'all want to,
but having laid that out,
First of all, if you think there's something else that might be happening, okay, but otherwise, what do you think it is?
And it could be a combination of them, whatever.
What do you think is actually happening here?
All right.
Here's what I actually think is happening.
A posit a theory.
Okay.
I think that Trump is and has been always very friendly with Russian oligarchs, billionaires, and business people.
He's done business there.
His family, including, I think both of his wives, have ties in that general region.
and like, you know, to be somewhat fair to him, like any shitty fucking lizard politician,
when you get up to power, you help your friends out, right?
You know, there's like a lot of that.
But I'll go a step further and say, even though that's plenty wrong, you shouldn't.
You shouldn't fucking help a Russian oligarch out just because you became president and used to do business with him, but people do it.
But I'll go a step further and say, I think there was definite collusion.
I think Trump is sincerely dumb enough to think, well, these people want to help me become president.
cool like i think he's sincerely dumb enough to be like oh that's fine but yeah i can get russes
to help me become president without right and just like all his business fucking dealings he
probably didn't know the day-to-day details because he hates details and he's really not very uh he's
lazy sure so i think that um within his campaign i think manifort had a lot to do with it well that
i think paul manifor is what ties most of this together one of the very one of the again facts
of the case. This is not, this is indisputable. And to me is one of the more damning is that when Manafort was
involved, and this was during the election and Trump with this was, Trump was got had gained
legitimacy at this point. Manifort got the, uh, pro-Ukrainian language removed from the official
GOP platform. You know what I mean? Other parties have their platforms. They had stuff in there
supporting Ukraine and Manafort while working for Trump and Manafort who has
documentedized to Russia
got that removed.
Like, so, I mean,
and here's the thing.
There's some, dude,
there's some fucking shady shit going on without a doubt.
Here's the thing.
So let's take,
and let's not go deep into it,
but let's take Israel, Palestine.
There's plenty of politicians
who are stronger on one way than the other.
You know what I mean?
There's politicians who are super, super pro-Israel,
and there's politicians who are, you know, less so.
And they want a two-state solution,
and they're way more pro-Palestine in general.
I can imagine someone making an argument
well fucking why can't Manafort have the opinion
that the GOP shouldn't be pro-Ukraine
why can't Trump have that opinion
that's fine
why you got to be covert about it
right why you got to hide it
why is all this secrecy
and then another thing is since this article's come out
since this article that you're talking about
with these seven theories this is very important
yes you're right two things Trump revealed
highly classified
information to
Russian officials inside the Oval Office.
Given to him by Israel, by the way.
Yes.
And they had nothing.
I mean, he did it literally on a whim.
There was no talking to Israel, like, listen, we're going to share this with the Russians because we think it would benefit them.
And it politically, it's thing that there was none of that at all.
He just told them in the meeting about it.
And I haven't checked in on this in a couple of days because he went to Saudi Arabia and that's dominated by newsfeed in time because he took Toby Keith with him and that's hilarious.
Well, as you said, you can't, how are you going to boot up somebody's ass when you have a.
Take them off at the door?
Yeah, if you got to take your shoes off at the door to pray, how you're going to put a boat up somebody's ass.
It don't really make sense.
And again, as I said in the Q&A, that may be racist to say, but I don't really know where the goddamn line is.
It's also hard to put my man, hypocrisy for my horses.
Yeah.
It's also hard to put a boat in somebody's ass if you're on your fucking knees.
Right.
In front of them.
So anyway.
Ooh, that's a T-shirt.
I haven't.
That's a tank top.
Excuse me.
It's a bit.
super sticker.
Yeah, it is.
That I would put on my tanked up.
Then the New York Times reported on this.
This is what I was talking about that I haven't doved into.
I think it's Dove.
You know, whatever.
I think you were right.
Trump asked, the New York Times reported that he asked Comey to drop the Flynn investigation.
He specifically asked him, stop investigating Flynn's ties to Russia.
I don't understand how that's legal.
And if it is, it should, like we should.
Well, how is that not obstruct?
of justice just, I mean, point blank.
Well, it's also, I mean, how is it not?
As a lawyer, I only ever dealt with obstruction of justice in the terms of some cop drumming
up charges on somebody who was like, hey, see, that's it.
You can't beat her up.
She didn't do anything wrong.
I'm glad that you brought up cops in that situation, because to me, this is similar
to a lot of people when, a lot of people that I know that are Trump supporters when they
saw the Eric Garner videos and they saw these things, they go, well, why are you
running from the cops if you didn't do anything?
Exactly.
You didn't do anything, whatever.
So when you say stop investigating this, I go, well, if you didn't do anything, let him invest.
I would want you to investigate me if I knew for 100% fact I was fucking innocent.
I'd go, go ahead, dig through my fucking truck.
Also, hell, we had a wreck last week.
They didn't ask to search my truck.
But if they had about it said, sure, go ahead.
I didn't have anything in there.
That's a lot.
Because we had taken it out already.
Because we had taken it out.
On the way to the car tray, I picked up the bag of mushrooms.
I had dropped.
And I knew that he had done that.
So if they'd have asked me, can I search your truck?
I wouldn't have caused a storm because I've been like, please search my trucks,
because you'll find that I'm innocent.
I rode in a cop car with mushrooms in my pocket.
And I had weed gummies in my pocket.
And it was white boys.
Here's my fucking theory on Trump.
And I'm not educated enough to go into detail.
But this is just my simple theory.
He's a goddamn closet globalist that that's why he likes Steve Bannon so much because
Steve Bannon is a huge nationalist so he can get Steve Bannon on his side to
rile the fervor of his base up when really Trump's
interests are with Russia and with China and shit like that.
But as long as he seems like a fucking, what's the word,
a xenophobic piece of shit, nobody will actually notice that.
And yeah, he loves having Russia in his back pocket.
He loves having China and he loves having.
I don't know that he has Russia in his back pocket.
I think it might be the other way around.
No, no.
Okay.
I didn't mean it the way that it sounded.
But what I mean is he loves them having a relationship.
and he loves him in China having a relationship
because he's a fucking globalist
because as a capitalist he wants his
fucking seed. It's like we saw
Guardian in the Galaxy. He's ego.
He wants his shit spread
across everything. I know.
I know. You know how I feel
about that. Oh, it's spoilers? I mean, yeah.
Yeah, no, that's my bad. I won't say anything.
I won't say that. But okay, but that's also
in the comic, like that's not new to the movie.
Yeah, but they're most people that, I mean, hell,
I didn't read those comics for the movies.
But do you think what I just said, if I stopped there, it's fine?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, then, no, I agree with you, and I won't say anything else.
But he just wants to come on every continent.
That's what he wants to do.
And knowing that, like, there's these ties between him and Russia, he fucking loves it.
And so he can get a guy like Steve Bannon, this huge xenophobic nationalist motherfucker.
He can get a guy like Jeff Sessions, who was a complete racist dickbag, who is all country this, country, that.
And you get confused at the fact that he's literally dealing in Saudi Arabian oil and all this bullshit.
We don't look at that.
He's just fucking diverting everything.
That's all it is to me.
So, okay, first of all, let's put a pen in that Saudi Arabia thing,
because we should talk about that son too before we finish.
But to go back to what Drew was saying...
Do I sound dumb when I say that?
I need to ask sincerely.
The globalist thing?
Yeah.
I don't think...
Oh, man, you sound smarter you ever have.
Okay.
I think you're wrong.
I think it's just...
That's fine.
I just didn't know if I sound okay.
This isn't antithetical to what you were saying,
but I think that Trump is just, it's literally just whatever suits his interest at any given time.
Right, but he wants to be...
I don't think there's an overriding globalist philosophy that he has.
I just think he wants to spread his cum everywhere.
Like, he just wants to come on everything.
And that's, I mean, he's came on America.
He has already came on America.
Now he wants to come on Russia.
He wants to come on China.
He wants to come on everything.
He wants to get peed on.
As we all know, come ain't pee.
Come ain't pee.
Anyway, as Drew alluded to,
let me a good gypsy speed book, huh?
I was saying podcast episode number 16.
Come ain't pee.
Y'all downloaded it.
As Drew alluded to him a minute ago,
That is very important to note about this article is that it was written, again, it came out on May 1st.
So this was put out and all this shit was lined up before any of the Comey stuff.
Because there's more than just what you said, by the way, as far as, I mean, first of all, just to me, the pure and simple fact that he fucking fired Comey.
Because the reason that they, the reason they gave was that ostensibly it was because of the email thing.
He didn't handle the email thing well.
That is so clearly bullshit.
And what other reason can there even be for firing him when he did?
Because that's not a thing that happens, y'all.
That ain't a thing that ever fucking happens.
Before anybody jumps down our throats, I would not.
No, it's not.
But I would like to bring up this point before anybody jumps down our throat.
Yes, Bill Clinton fired the head.
That was totally different.
It was because he wasn't in the middle of an investigation upon his administration.
And that guy had fucked up.
up. That's what I'm saying. So don't just throw
that in my goddamn face. That is
different. That is insanely different.
You absolutely. Of course Trump can fire somebody.
He did. And also,
again, this is what I read. I believe
that this is true. Outside
of Clinton firing the FBI director,
again, for completely, totally
different reasons. Outside
of that, it literally has never
happened otherwise. Like,
it's not a thing that just happens.
Millhouse didn't even do it.
Why? What other reason is him
is there for him to do it.
And then, like Drew said,
Trump, there's a few things that have since come out since Trump fired Comey.
And there are all things that, you know,
Comey is saying, and he says he has documentation to back this up,
but it hasn't been released yet.
That's another thing, by the way,
blockbuster fucking deal.
Comey's going to testify in public towards the end of this month,
and that shit will be released or whatever,
and that's when hopefully something will come of that.
But a million things will change between now and them.
I mean, this whole Robert Mueller being appointed special prosecutor,
is, can be one of the best things for this and could be the worst.
Okay.
Hold on.
Before we get into that, the things that apparently or supposedly happens involving Trump
and the Comey deal is that I think first Trump asked Comey repeatedly, and presumably not just
Comey, but everybody else too, to pledge an oath of personal loyalty to him.
and Comey wouldn't do it.
Right.
And number two, Trump asked Comey or, you know, told Comey point blank, you need to drop the investigation into Michael Flynn and Comey wouldn't do it.
What he said was, I hope you can see your way clear of this.
Yeah, because Mike Flynn's a good guy.
I hope you can do the right thing.
And there was another, there was a third thing.
Oh, well, this isn't related to Russia, but it's just, it's so Trump and it's so fucked up.
He also apparently told Comey that the FBI really should look at imprisoning journalists.
Yeah, yeah, I saw that.
Because apparently he's tired of wiping his ass with the Constitution and wants to move on to the Bill of Rights.
Right, right.
Like, it's insane to me that any president would, I don't know, not this one.
but um and uh fuck there was another thing about it well apparently and i know it was officially it came
from rosenstein it was the deputy attorney general but they had said at one point that um it was
sessions it was sessions who recommended that comie recommended trump that comie needed to go and
as we all know sessions ostensibly recused himself from the whole deal so what the fuck is he
having anything to say about it in the first place.
And
Robert Mueller got appointed
very recently. This happened after he fired him.
Jell see this.
Trump told
those Russian guys in that meeting,
which is the day after he fired Comey,
Trump told the Russians, and this is like
documented White House transcripts
that the administration has not
denied
at all.
Trump told those Russian diplomats,
diplomats that now that he has gotten rid of quote that nut job Comey all the investigation and stuff is
going to clear up or whatever like he's going to very much loved for a long time right and I mean again
that's not really disputed that he said that to them right now that I fired the nut job comie
we're good don't worry about it yeah we got this but I'm interested in knowing why you said I from
when I saw the thing about Robert Mueller, I was like, okay, good.
This guy works for both Republican and Democrat administrations as well respected for being a like buy the book type dude or whatever as far as the shit that I've seen.
And I'm just glad that they got a special counsel period.
And it's at on paper, it seems to be somebody who has some fucking credentials and it's pretty legit.
So why do you think it could potentially be the worst thing to happen?
Because it seems like a good thing to me.
already used it as an excuse to say,
now we need to dial back our own probes.
Let's call the dogs off.
We have this special prosecutor.
Yeah, well, fuck that.
As a special prosecutor,
Congress now has that excuse.
They can say, well, we don't need to keep doing our job,
American people.
We have a special prosecutor for that.
And these fucking bullshit, fake-ass Republicans can say,
well, we don't want to push him
because we have a special prosecutor.
That's his job.
And then they can have the fucking good thing that they want,
which is that they can keep pushing through other bullshit.
legislation, which is why they love this.
The GOP loves
what Mitch McConnell is so
fucking happy right now. He can push through whatever
he wants. Because all anybody's talking about
is this shit with Trump. A, that's all anybody's
talking about. And B, he's got Trump by the
balls in a lot of ways because he's like, you kind of need
me right now. So these Republicans can go
to their constituents and be like, hey guys,
we've appointed a special prosecutor.
We're doing everything that we can.
And then Congress doesn't have to actually do a probe.
And Congress has way more teeth than this special
prosecutor because
And then David Frum wrote this from in Atlantic.
He pointed out that instead of just lying.
David Frum, who's a conservative.
Instead of just lying, the White House can now refuse to answer questions.
Right.
You don't have to answer questions to special counsel.
Only Congress can compel you to testify.
Do you, okay.
And then secondly, and some people disagree with this, but this is a sort of ancillary point,
national security and public integrity type questions,
that's not really the special security guy's job.
In other words, he's there seeing was there collusion,
was there obstruction of justice,
what's going on in here illegal?
So let's say those seven things that were just laid out.
Let's say that we're on the spectrum,
on the left end of the spectrum that you were talking about,
where it wasn't collusion,
but like a lot of fucked up shit happened,
has our national security been breached?
It's not a special counselor's job to investigate that.
But it's still a huge problem.
Yes.
What about our public integrity in general?
Nothing was done wrong, but the American people deserved to know that integrity got thrown out the window, not the special counselor's job.
So this could be the perfect storm of this is how we get out of this and make this go away.
Guys, we've appointed a special prosecutor.
I want Congress to investigate this.
They don't want to because they're GOP-led and they're getting what they want right now.
Okay.
On that note, do you think, do you think there's...
is a point, and if there is a point, at what point, will they just not be able to just
fucking turn a blind eye or do the McCain? Oh, I'm disturbed by this, but not
fucking do shit about it. When it becomes about them instead of Trump, and I don't know
if it will be, because A, you don't think there's a point where if they don't ever get really
wrapped into it at all, if it's just about Trump, you don't think there's a point where like,
something comes out that's like, okay, this can't be ignored. I mean, I can't imagine a scenario.
of like paper trail proof of collusion with Trump or something like that.
You know what I can imagine a scenario.
But for the most part, what I believe is that as long as we on the left are still trying to vilify Trump.
And then on the right, his supporters are defending him while the regular good old boy GOP is doing what they want.
They're winning.
Mitch McConnell is winning right now.
Do you remember when there was accusations by Donald Trump of Barack Obama not being from this context?
And he finally gave his birth certificate, which was paper proof of something.
And they still said, no.
So I'm not going to ever buy that there's something that they can just go, oh, no, this is, you're right.
I'm going to back off of my bullshit.
They still said no.
You're not talking about that way.
It wasn't all of the Republican Congress who said, no, no, but I mean, I'm talking about, the base.
The birth or movement is still.
Trux base.
Sure.
That isn't who I'm talking about.
I know.
but these people are still wanting
to appeal to those people because they're the ones
who elect them and keep them. That's very true. That's what I'm
saying. Those people,
like Mitch McConnell and people like that, they,
dude, they're not idiots. They know what's
going on. If they saw concrete proof,
they'd be like, oh, that's one thing. But if their base
thought the other thing, they're absolutely going to just
do whatever they can do to keep
getting reelected and keep pad in their pockets
and keep the good old boys club going. So I don't really
buy into this hole. We're going to get, oh, concrete
proof, they don't fucking ever want it. They don't
need it. They don't buy it.
Don't. Don't.
Don't.
Oh, they're happy.
That's what I'm saying.
Right.
They're happy.
They got what they want.
Is there a point, though, where, like, they are happy because of the reward that they have of having
him in a distraction, be able to do all the shit they want to do, I mean, ostensibly,
they're so fucking incompetent so far that, but anyway.
But is there a point where the risk outweighs it, meaning, like, where they have to
fucking cut bait because being complacent in what is happening?
Yes.
is a fucking death is a death sentence for all of them.
And I will tell you when that is the moment they do it.
But they're right.
This is their game.
This is what they're good at.
And let's not underestimate these motherfuckers.
When Mitch McConnell turns on Donald Trump, it's over.
It will be the moment that he had to.
And that's when it's over.
Right.
Yeah, well, I guess what I'm saying is that turtally looking mother-buffling turtle.
But I guess what I'm saying is what is that point?
And you're saying when there's when there's per, like undeniable.
holy shit.
How old is Mitch McConnell?
There's proof of this, this happened.
Or that, well, what he needs, so what you want is unannable proof so we can, like,
prosecute the guy, and I'm with you.
What McConnell needs is something that he thinks he can take to that base you were talking
about.
Yeah.
And say, we had to do it for the good of the country, but, you know, we got Pence now and
we got y'all's back.
Because you could, they could make the argument, they could look at it as, I mean, to me,
and I'm on the complete opposite side, so whatever, but.
I feel like they could look at it as, again, if it continues to get worse and there's shit there,
they could spin it to their base, to the Republican base and voters as their heroes.
You know what I mean?
They're the good guys.
They save the country.
But they just lost.
We're talking about, hold on, that they just lost an unbelievably wild primary.
Sure.
They still aren't quite sure how and why.
Sure.
So what this is giving them is the opportunity to continue business as usual while buying,
time to figure out how do
we went because they lost them too.
It wasn't just us that lost all these people.
Like the Republicans sort of lost
a lot of those voters too.
And McConnell wants them back and he knows if he goes
and just fucking grills Trump
he won't get reelected.
Well, the thing about McConnell
though is like, how old is McConnell?
He's old. He's old as shit.
I don't think he's like crazy old by those standards.
I mean, yeah, he's obviously
going to be up for re-election or whatever. But like to me,
he, if you can be in a lame, lame duck situation as he is, like, he's so old that, like, dude, if he got voted.
Well, think of him as a symbol.
Like, it doesn't, like, him as who the GOP is inside Congress.
What I'm saying is, though, and eventually, like, those guys never retire, they just die doing that shit.
Sure.
But he's in a situation where, like, this is the best possible time for him to be lazy.
Because everything's just kind of coming up.
I don't think they're built that way.
I think power-hungry people, they don't think in terms of.
You don't think they ever get, like, where they're like, fuck it, I'll just phone it in.
I agree with Drew.
It's the best possible time for them to be opportunistic and do the shit that they...
No, I understand that.
But what I'm saying is, like, if Mitch McConnell fucks up and, like, they vote him out,
and let's say he, I mean, he's not going to prison for anything.
It's fine.
Like, he's okay.
No, that's not how he works, man.
Okay.
In my opinion.
And that's fine.
I just want to throw it out there.
I just feel like he's in a, like, I'm kind of on my way out anyways.
Who gives a fuck?
This is a great time for me to be alive.
because I don't even really have to work.
It's all just going insane, and I can just do this shit.
Yeah, see, I don't.
Again, we could cut him out.
Maybe he's like that, but let's talk about, I was talking about the GOP as a large.
No, no, no, the younger one, you're 100% right.
I'm talking about him being old as far.
I would argue it's like the worst time for them to be lazy right now.
And not because of my beliefs, but what he's saying.
Progressing it forward, I'm talking about literally just him as an old person.
I don't mean for the party.
I mean, Mitch McConnell, the lizard that is going to have to go back in his shell and die in five years.
I mean, I think those lizards live for 400 years anyway.
Yeah, you're probably right.
But I just think...
God, have you seen them Rothschild?
Like, if you looked at their faces?
It's wild.
Ain't it wild?
I think they get, like, hormone treatments.
They have, like, extra ducts under their...
D-U-C-T-S?
T-U-S.
They have, like, the main, the old Rothschilds.
Dux.
D-T-T-T-T-T-T-S.
They have, like, the oldest Rothschild.
How old were you when you found it was duct-t tape?
Today.
It ain't.
Well, I mean, there's a very, I mean...
There's a brand, there's a brand called duck, but it's the biggest.
UCT, yeah, but it is D-U-C-T.
But by the way,
saying, by the way, I didn't see that,
Brandel, I was like 20, though.
No, no.
I was like 12 when I found that it was duct tape.
Oh, I was way later than 12.
Way later than 12.
Well, yeah, you guys had duct tape people
who did stuff for you.
For sure.
We invented duct tape.
That's where I got,
I got duct tape money.
God, I wish I had duct tape money.
Oh, hell, yeah.
But I'm saying, like.
You have nothing to be ashamed of
some of these nefarious.
But McConnell has,
the same eyes as that Ross Child's dude.
It's like they have gills.
Give them sires.
Like there's a, well, you want to say sirs?
Yeah, but here's what I think.
So, hold on, real quick, though.
Like, you could be right about McConnell.
I'm probably not.
I'm just saying shit.
The GOP in general,
they have a lot of power right now,
but they don't feel very secure in that.
Because they lost an election
that they don't understand how they lost it.
What I mean by that is,
their guys didn't win.
They didn't want Trump.
and that was obvious when he was running.
And they got an ultimatum from Republican voters like, well, this is what we want.
And so they're sitting there and they're going, fuck, we control Congress.
Congress is who has the teeth to investigate this guy.
And I think there's a lot of internal infighting going on.
I think you have a lot of those Republican senators who have gone on record, who have tweeted stuff, who have been like,
we need to fucking investigate this.
This is crazy.
And then you've got other ones like McCain, who's planning on the fence, who's like, well, I'm concerned, blah, blah, blah.
and then you got McConnell who ain't saying shit
who's literally saying this is not a big deal
let's slow the probes down
because winning
is all they give a fuck about
I totally agree
but what I'm saying is
I don't see how
there's not more of an argument
like even amongst them that
in order to win
long term
they have to
fucking
surgically remove this cancer
that they have
Because if they don't, if they don't, and it ends up being real and it ends up being a real thing and they're all on the record as basically voting against it and not doing shit about it, they're going to be fucked as a unit.
Like that, and they can't come back from that.
I'm not, there will be some kind of something that emerges from the rubble and will continue as far as American conservatism.
But I'm saying those motherfuckers and what they are, that'll be the end of.
it.
If that happens,
and I would think,
at least some of them
would be saying that's like,
look, guys,
we got to do this right now.
They are.
And get out in front of this thing.
That's what McKay's trying to do
with that wishy-washy.
They're trying to get out in front of it.
And what I'm saying is,
when they believe
that they have enough
to get out in front of it,
to cut Donald Trump,
you know,
to throw him under the bus,
as it were,
and it work politically,
they'll do it.
Here's why they won't do it right now.
His approval rating is still through the goddamn roof with Republicans.
With Republicans.
That's all they give a fuck about.
True.
No, yeah, I wouldn't disagreeing with what you're saying.
Mr. McConnell's not going to impeach a president with an 85% approval rating among his voters.
Is it 85% amongst Republicans?
Yes.
God damn.
Okay.
But overall, it's like 37.
Okay.
I think.
Actually, that's better than I thought it was.
I thought it was.
I thought it was like 33 or something.
The last I saw, the last number I saw was 40.
But I don't know that, I don't know.
I don't remember the source of it.
It could have been not.
Donald Trump is the one they usually used.
The one they usually used.
The one of our podcast.
You never fucking know week to week.
But so that kind of brings up,
that kind of brings up another thing about this.
Okay.
Furn's hit, don't they?
Fuck the, uh,
yeah.
Drew Eat and Drew's eat the sour candy.
It's a sour bag.
This is the unofficial commercial.
Sour Patch Kids,
do you know they did this?
A redberry, just straight up redberry pack.
but I'm about that red is I saw it
And I'm not going to be wrong
That's that Russian influence
Look at him
I'm going to trade in our sirepats
I just got red berries
I fuck with all the flavors
But red is one of my favorites
So when I saw this
I was like well this is just a can't fucking mess
I also got a pound cake
And a gallon of milk
And I ain't all that's all berries
Yeah
Captain Crunk
What are you fucking kidding me
Best cereal of all time
Do I remember I still fucks with
Oops all berries
It's on berries
Give me one tray
We're gonna get a call
We can get a call
We can do it oops all berries
from the Russians or Captain Marys?
We're going to get a call from the Russians or the hotel?
Oh, I thought you meant Captain Crunch was going to call.
We didn't hear screaming out 90s serial slowness.
We got like seven noise complaints last night and all we were doing was just having a conversation.
All we was doing was partying.
No, that's true.
I wasn't drunk.
We didn't have a music on them.
This would give me some responsibility.
This will give me some responsibility.
I'll owe somebody this.
I'm trying to be sober for 30 days just to like clean my body out and feel better.
and try to not be a fat fuck.
And it's going much harder than I expected it to.
It's like day three.
And I keep finding reasons to drink.
Have you noticed how when you've been on this little cleanse,
we have really respected it.
Oh, fuck you.
No, no, I'm just saying, every time I try to do this, you go fucking.
It's mostly Corey.
It is mostly, no, I will give you that.
It's absolutely mostly me.
It is, but you haven't done any of this to him.
Drew backs it up with, Drew, ain't the,
Cho.
He's not the show.
You allow him to get his life back together, but you don't allow me to get my life back together.
There's a lot of responsibility that comes to being a Cho.
With great Cho, comes great responsibility.
But I literally have prided myself on never being responsible, so I don't understand.
Responsibility to hit, that's all.
But I still can hit with tuna.
Okay.
Anyway.
For yourself.
Look.
You never, ain't nobody ever hit me with tuna.
Don't you try to derail us from what we were trying to talk about, Trey.
Well, we're already derailed.
from, I've been, Drew said something a minute ago that I wanted to ask him about,
but we've been talking about sours and oops all berries and you being a drunk and not
wanting to be and shit ever since then.
This podcast is a metaphor.
Here's my whole argument.
This podcast is a metaphor for American politics right now.
Yeah, we just got to be real.
No, but what I mean is absolutely the most interesting thing and probably the most pressing
thing to talk about is, is Trump colluding with the Russians?
100%.
We're not wrong to do that.
But it's all we keep fucking talking about.
about and meanwhile they're about to rewrite the student loan loss they want to send out a contract him
and devoes made an announcement today that one fucking company is going to uh handle student loans
every year it gets better than i didn't go to college every year you're right you're completely
right yeah and i don't i'm not trying to be a dick on that but like looking back i know considering
i'm still doing what i want to do me and you make the same amount of money yeah me and you have
the same job but you have two degrees and student loans and i don't and it's that's why you have to
drink
Yeah.
And I get days off.
Yeah, and I get days off because I have to.
What I was going to.
I wish the Russians will infiltrate like the student loan game.
Right, right.
I'd love to give an oligarch a hand job instead of paying these back.
Yeah, no, I agree with you.
If Trump would do something about student loans, you probably would.
I got a friend.
He is a chef, but like a chef with an agent.
You know what I mean?
Is this your buddy that would...
Don't say his name.
No, I'm not going to say his name,
but I'm saying, is he the one that was influential?
influencing us on our Vegas stuff?
No.
That was a food critic friend of here.
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
Go ahead.
He is a chef with an agent.
His wife and I were co-workers.
She's also a good buddy of mine.
And his current job that he's had for a while now is he goes out on a boat of a Russian oligarch for three weeks.
Do what?
And is the chef for the boat.
And the dude just lives on the boat.
And then he's three weeks off and another guy does it.
Because, you know, it's like a 24-7 kind of paid.
You get paid really well?
Oh, yeah.
That sounds like the greatest job I've ever heard of.
like he's hanging out with Russian oligarchs.
And like, again, that sounds awesome.
And he's like, there's like the wife and she has the room, like the big room.
And then there's the mistress who's on the boat with the wife and everybody knows about each other.
And the mistress has like a big room.
And then there's like four girlfriends.
And the drama isn't that they exist.
It's like who gets to be what?
Right.
Who's got the bigger rooms and all that?
And then they have like all kinds of rich people coming on their boats.
And he said he just makes steak pretty much every night.
See, like, no, I'm all about that because like, I know you said like, well, but it's for Russian oligarchs.
Dude, you know who I am.
Everybody knows who I am.
If you don't think that me and a bunch of Russian oligarchs
will be best friends, you've lost your mind.
So, they tell me you are called the machine.
The show.
Yeah, exactly.
Burke.
Yeah, me, okay, Bert Crisher, huge Russian oligarch fan.
Bert, if you're listening, Bert,
and me and Bert, it's been pointed out to me several times by y'all
and many people I've met.
Me and Byrd are very similar.
Both Choos.
I guarantee you, if I was the day.
dude making steak and eggs for Russian oligarchs and also cracking wise,
I would end up being in whatever their parliament is as the jester.
Does nobody agree?
What, what, what, something happened?
The Celtics won tonight?
What the fuck?
They were down by 20 in the third quarter.
They've been getting crushed the whole series.
They're in Cleveland, right?
What was the score of that?
Drew, was the score?
11 to 108.
I can't believe that.
I can't either because when we were to club,
I didn't think they were going to win again.
No, I didn't either, dude.
Because, dude, Cleveland, am I wrong in the third quarter, Cleveland was up by like 20 and, like, just slamming at home?
And Cleveland, in the first two games has just been rocking and fucking shit.
They beat them by 50?
And those first two games were in Boston.
Dude, this one's in Cleveland.
They beat them by 50.
I definitely did not see that shit coming.
That's insane in football.
In basketball, that's unheard of.
That's way less insane than in football.
In football, college football, maybe.
Well, no, actually.
But I'm just saying like points are just, you know, one and two or whatever.
In the play in the fucking playoffs?
In the playoffs.
In the playoffs.
That's what I'm saying.
No, I think Corey's right because.
In college.
Touchdowns are, right.
College football.
That's what I'm talking about.
College football.
Yes, I agree completely.
Well, touchdowns are at least seven.
You get up three.
All right.
Well, we end of the way.
So we can be into weeds.
It's fine.
But since we're talking about sports, I do want to give.
And I say this and we'll lose the last two games.
But shout out to the prets.
Oh, yeah.
Nashville Predators are up three games to two on the Anaheim Mighty Ducks right now.
It's a shame rednecks.
They're an eight seed.
They were, they're fucking, they came in as an eight seed.
Sweep the number one see Chicago Blackhawks in the first round and our one win away from going to the Stanley Cup finals.
So go Preds.
More rednecks ain't into hockey.
I feel like it would suit us a lot if our people back home in the South are into it.
You know what I mean?
There's not a lot of black people that would hit for a lot of shitty rednecks.
It's a, other than the ice.
They don't have teeth.
They fight all the time.
Yeah.
It is weird.
Well, that's why I've always said we crush in Canada, which we will, and we'll be in Canada in a couple of weeks, come out and see us.
But the culture from hockey to football, it's like, dude, yeah, they like to fight.
They beat the fuck out of each other.
They show tities.
Their jerseys are too expensive.
I've seen titties.
Well, like I said, there's not a lot of minorities, which I know would hit for some shitty rednecks.
Yeah, that is the opposite of football.
The Preds, one of their best players is a black dude.
That is for me.
Suban.
P.K. Suban?
He's badass, man.
That sounds like a car.
Yeah.
He's awesome, though.
But is that wrong?
Should I know if I said that?
I don't know.
It does sound like a car.
No.
It's not racist to say that name.
I'm just trying to understand.
I want to know.
I'm trying to grow as a human being.
Well, yeah, we could tell about how much you eat.
I hate you.
What are we talking about?
Drew had said earlier, now I've already forgotten it, because it was
10 fucking minutes ago, but
fuck the GOP,
the congressman, the Republican,
like, you know,
bureaucrats,
fuck all that.
Is there literally
any point at which
the people
are like,
okay,
this is,
this is too much.
It's really hard to admit
that you're wrong,
especially when,
right,
I think that's such a huge part of it.
You finally got a voice.
Right.
And it's only four,
five months in or whatever.
I think that's a huge part of it, man.
It'll take a minute.
Some of those people I think might actually eventually come around, but it's going to take a lot longer than it's been right now.
I wrote about it in a piece that I did for the Huffington Post.
But that part, I know.
That part I totally understand.
Like, not wanting to admit you're wrong right off the jump.
That's a pride thing.
And I can at least understand a certain part of that.
Because that's, as a redneck, admitting you're wrong and swallowing your pride is super hard.
That's what?
Or, well, the end at least was what my last, that's what my last video was about.
Yeah, that.
Right. I know. I know. You know.
You know. Yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah. I get it too.
So, again, I think they're wrong. But there's some of them that the holdoff, like, I just want to keep, I want to go down with the ship.
I at least understand the mentality. I don't think they're right. I just, I understand that mentality.
No, I completely agree, man.
Because, dude, there was a lot of things that I absolutely would have gone to the sea on Obama with, several things.
several things, but
I mean, he wasn't ever really
that wrong, so it was fine.
He was wrong. You'd be droning people.
A couple times. No, no, that didn't
hit for me. But again, we've talked about this.
It's like, okay, with war, I just kind of put it
out of my mind, because it just seems like we've
always. White privilege. No, well, exactly.
But it's like we've always been at war.
American privilege. We're very
desensitized. Chappelle talked
about that in the age of span. He's like, so
much is going on that, like, you can't,
he's like, by the time I'm upset about this,
another thing happens. How can I keep being
upset about that? But, so
war, I'm like, all right, we're always at war.
Kat Williams,
I don't even know no motherfucking insurgents, man.
You kill all of them.
Well, that's the thing, though. We stay
at war. So with war, I'm just like,
that's just kind of a president's thing. Dude, I haven't been
pissed off. I haven't said one thing about Trump's
bullshit, like bombing people. I mean,
bombing don't hit, but I'm like, yeah, presidents
be bombing people, whatever. I'm talking.
talking about the complete lack of...
I saw, dude, that's such a far cry from the shit that's going on with...
That's what I'm saying.
Like, that just is always going on.
I really wouldn't like to think if something like this had been happening with Obama, I would have been like...
I would have seen it.
I would have seen it.
Okay, look, we need to get to the bottom of this shit.
And that's my thing.
And if he really did it, then, you know, get my man smoking Joe Biden in there or whatever.
That's my thing.
You can go back on his Facebook, my Facebook, your Facebook, your Twitter, YouTube, whatever.
I know for a fact.
when Trump started to fucking the mother of all bombs,
we might have made some cutesy jokes or whatever.
But we really didn't have huge like disparaging opinions on that.
Because we're like, yeah, presidents be bombing shit.
Well, the only thing that I really said about it was I thought he was doing it as a distraction from the rest of this shit.
But you weren't calling him a war criminal for it.
No, no, no.
Whereas Obama was getting called a war criminal every time he did a goddamn thing for anybody.
But to me, I'm like, look, Bush went to war.
There was some war with Clinton.
some war with Bush,
senior,
Reagan, we just,
we are constantly
bombing people.
I hate it,
I don't like it
any more than anybody else does,
but that's what happens.
I'm talking about
the incompetence of his
other bullshit,
his fucking foreign diplomacy,
his fucking healthcare bullshit,
his fucking views on gay people
coming with Mike Pence.
That's what the fuck I'm talking about.
War always happens,
so I'll just,
it's like you always see your nose
so you fucking ignore it.
You can,
your brain,
that's what it is to me.
It's not,
even just that though. I mean, again, I, I, every
time I ever talked to anybody about it, I was
critical of Obama when it came to droning people.
I was critical Obama when it came, early
on in his administration, the DEA was
raiding fucking
weed dispensaries like a motherfucker.
He actually said he didn't do enough for wheat.
He did more of those than
fucking Bush did. Yeah.
And I would tell people, that's fucked up
and it's not okay. Like,
I criticized Obama, I criticized Obama, I criticized
Obama for a ton of shit.
I looked up, I actually looked up a bunch of
I said some old stuff come up in my time hot where I was talking shit about, in my opinion, Barack Obama had the best position to do way more for weed than what he did.
And he didn't.
And he didn't go backwards.
So I was fine with that.
But he had so many opportunities to go forward and he never really took him.
And I was pretty much like, hey man, what the fuck?
But the reason I was what the fuck is because he was my guy and I believed in him.
So that's the fucking point.
There was also, he was way too easy on the.
fucking banks and shit.
I mean, that's the point.
I liked him so I held him to a
higher standard and they don't fucking do
that.
Well, yes, I liked him.
I still supported him ultimately,
you know, and now, especially
relatively speaking, like in comparison,
good Lord.
I miss him like a motherfucker.
It's unbelievable.
But, but though,
I was openly critical
of Barack Obama many times
over the course of his presidency
when he did some shit that I didn't like.
And they don't, that ain't happening.
in right now.
Because it's the
opposite.
They dig in.
I agree completely
with what you said
about war in general.
Like it's bad,
but it's always there,
et cetera,
et cetera.
But like,
dude,
the idea of him
being in charge
during a war
scares the fuck out of me.
Yeah,
but that's the only way
pens would be in improvement.
One thing I will say
about that is
according to everything
that I've read,
yes,
he has a ridiculous name,
but Mad Dog
Mattis is pretty legit
as far as that goes. The first time he doesn't
do what Trump wants to do, he'll fire him.
Right. No, yeah, you're right. Yeah.
Yeah, fuck that. And that's the one way that I would
rather have Pence than Trump, sincerely.
It's like the international
prospects of dying in a mushroom cloud.
Right. Yeah, man.
Well, I mean, this has been a very
uplifting and positive episode
that I feel good about. Well, I just felt
like, I felt like
it's like the elephant
in the room.
sincerely no pun intended because it's just so fucking insane we had to talk about it but
do you okay gun to your head drew what do you think what do you think is ultimately
going to happen do you think that he will get impeached for this yes after the midterms
that is my instinct i think that i think that i think that i agree with you
there will be something that gives mccanell and the rest of the turtile club he'll he'll he'll
absolutely get impeached he's not going to exit
that's what I think
I think he'll beat it like my man really Clint?
We'll impeach the charges
I think if he gets impeached he's going down. I know it was like
mostly different people but they impeached
a man for getting his dick sucks in the White House
and now a dude is literally
giving away secrets in the White House and it's fine
well my thing is what I mean is
I don't think that should happen
there's a lot of people and I know because they've been
tweeting at me that don't
understand what impeach means.
Impeach doesn't mean he got impeached, he's gone.
Impeach means to have charges brought against you.
Here's why it's different though than like when Clinton got impeached but then ultimately
remained president.
Because he's a cheap.
Especially right now.
If Trump gets impeached, again, especially if we're talking pre midterms.
Who's bringing up the charges?
If we're talking pre midterms, if Trump has been impeached, he's going the fuck down.
Because the only way he's getting impeached is if the GOP impages him.
And if they impeach him, dude, he's done.
You're right on that.
And if he gets impeached post-mid terms, that will be because the Democrats regained
control of Congress.
And if they're in charge and they impeach him, he's going the fuck down.
I agree with you.
I don't see any way he gets impeached and then sticks around.
I agree with you.
But also, there was a time in my life where I didn't see.
anyway. He'd win the goddamn primary.
So I'm still a little, I guess it's shell-shocked in a way, or maybe, I don't know what it is.
Dude, if you tell me, you're not wrong.
Everything you're saying makes more sense.
What I'm saying is just, I'm a scared boy who's just going, yeah, but nothing is real anymore.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm not saying he's going to be done.
I'm saying to me, it's either.
If it goes to impeachment, it's over.
It's either he lasts four years and never gets impeached.
at all, or he gets impeached and fucking oustead.
I don't think there's a scenario where he gets impeached and then survives that.
I got to tell you, four years my ass.
If he makes it four, he's making it eight, in my opinion.
You can call me shitty.
You can call me dumb all you want, but I also am the one that said he'd get elected in the first goddamn place.
I don't know who the fuck we're going to replace him with.
But, dude, the Democrats, for the most part, win.
Democrats didn't come out to vote for Hillary because they thought there was no way Trump was going to win.
it wasn't people talk about how like white working class
people uh you know came out for trump and droves and got him in there and like like
there's some validity to that but if democrats had got out for Hillary
the way that they did for like Obama or whatever it would not have mattered who are we
going to run that we'll get those people out I may eat these words but dude
anybody can say anybody I sincerely don't think it'll matter
matter. When it comes to Democrats and people on the left in 2020?
You're going to have to convince me, man.
Just because I've just seen what this happened.
They will still vote for him.
I'm saying that we will get off our asses this time.
I know.
I agree.
I'm just saying who the fuck are you going to run.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
Like, that's my thing is like I've just, I've been burned before and I'm getting older.
You know, dude, I'm getting a little bit more cynical, I guess, in this game.
Like, you just burned me.
I'm not convinced.
To me,
you're right.
Incumbents win more often than not.
And I just, who the fuck are you going to run?
I want to run somebody.
Who the fuck are you going to run?
The rock, that's what we're saying.
It's now.
The rock.
All right, whatever.
I mean, I'd vote.
I absolutely vote for the rock over Trump.
But I don't know what the fuck's going on.
Well, guys, this has been a great podcast.
It has.
