1:17
Every episode we blast anyone who gets in
1:19
our way. We bring critical
1:21
thinking, skepticism and irreverence
1:23
to any topic that makes
1:25
the news makes it big or
1:27
makes us mad. It's
1:29
skeptical. It's political.
1:32
And there is
1:34
no welcome at today is
1:36
Thursday, April the
1:38
24th. This has been
1:40
the longest April of my
1:42
fucking life. I was talking to my son about
1:44
this the other day. I was like, it has
1:47
been April for about three years. Did he, he,
1:49
Trump passed his first hundred days the other day.
1:51
He did. Yeah. He did pass for
1:53
his first hundred days. Yeah. Yeah.
1:55
That's a something that, you know,
1:57
who didn't pass their freshness date
1:59
was the Pope. Well,
2:02
he is now definitely best
2:05
if poked by they put him
2:07
in a fucking coffin and
2:09
the coffin is like it's kind
2:11
of at an angle and
2:13
he's sort of just like stuck
2:15
in this like coffin and
2:18
all the like like red -headed
2:20
dudes have to come around and
2:22
be like Bro, yep. Yeah,
2:24
that's corpse. So that's what I
2:26
gotta ask you. Yeah, when
2:29
when rush Limbaugh died we played
2:31
the funeral march of those
2:33
guys dancing. Does the pulp
2:35
deserve the funeral march of
2:37
those guys dancing? Does
2:39
the guy who heads up the largest
2:41
child sex trafficking ring in the
2:43
entire world, I think he does. You
2:45
think he deserves I think it
2:47
is. It's a little bit of a
2:49
little bit of what we need
2:51
is, yeah, bring it in buddy. We
2:53
need a little bit of the
2:55
coffin dance. Oh,
3:00
it's not in big and big and
3:02
eight. Get big featuring the Ghana Paul
3:04
bearers. Here we go. It's
3:09
gonna be random. It's
3:11
gonna be random. All right. I don't want to watch
3:13
him get addressed. I love
3:15
this is the official music video.
3:17
It'll be a second. Here we
3:19
go. As I say, don't fast
3:21
forward it before the beat drops. There
3:28
you go, Popey. Tom,
3:34
I want this so bad. You have to fly
3:36
these people in. I got you. I want
3:38
this so bad. I got you. God, I want
3:40
this so bad. Look, I don't know how
3:42
I'm going to do this since we both die
3:44
fighting each other in bulldozers. What I want
3:46
is those guys to pick the bulldozers up and
3:49
carry it like that. Absolutely.
3:51
This is, this is so bad.
3:57
All right. Our video is now
3:59
demonetized. So, um, and all that
4:01
money can go to those God
4:03
of people, crushing it. Yeah.
4:05
That was that. So, so long to
4:07
this, to this pope who was, uh,
4:09
a liberal. had a file hide. Yeah,
4:12
right. You know, I read, I heard
4:14
a lot of stuff. So like, you
4:16
know, all of my daily news stuff,
4:18
obviously when the Pope dies, everything is
4:20
Pope central, right? And
4:23
like the consensus was pretty much that he
4:25
tried to split the baby and he kind
4:27
of just made everybody mad. He wasn't conservative
4:29
enough for the conservative wing of the church.
4:32
And he wasn't progressive enough for the
4:34
progressive wing of the church. And he
4:36
just kind of tried to He wasn't
4:38
a true reformer. He was like reform
4:40
minded, but he was not a true
4:42
reformer. He made gestures in the directions
4:44
of progress, but he didn't make declarations
4:46
toward progress. So he didn't actually make
4:48
a lot of progress. And so
4:50
now he's fucking dead. Wow. And now who
4:52
knows what the fucking next guy is going
4:54
to be. You know, I'll tell you what
4:56
he won't be relevant. Yeah. Well,
4:58
because the church is not, hold
5:00
on though. They were talking about
5:02
possibly a black one. A
5:05
Black Pope? Black Pope, baby.
5:07
A Black Pope? Or an Asian.
5:09
So like the biggest areas
5:12
of the world that are
5:14
now Catholic are not the
5:16
Western countries where most Catholics
5:18
would have come from. Right.
5:20
Now most of those places
5:22
are in Africa or in,
5:25
you know, Indonesia
5:27
or, you know, whatever that is, whatever
5:29
that area is, you know, like the
5:31
South East Asia, South East Asia, that
5:33
sort of thing. There's a ton of
5:35
them out there. And so like those
5:37
people are all really into the Catholic
5:39
church and, you know, the Catholic church,
5:41
to be honest, the shitty stuff they
5:43
do aside, the opportunities
5:47
that they open up for some of
5:49
those people to go learn abroad, to
5:51
learn a different language, to learn skills
5:53
and bring it back to their communities
5:55
is a big deal to them. You
5:57
know, regardless of what we think of
5:59
the church, the church does at least
6:01
create some of these people to go
6:03
back and, you know, be, you know,
6:05
public servants in that area. So
6:08
it's like, you know, I mean, now they're probably
6:10
going to be, you know, playing three card money with
6:12
some pedophile in a, you know, there
6:14
are always There are always people
6:16
on the ground that benefit when
6:18
colonialism takes place, right? And this
6:20
is just the kind of religious
6:23
colonialism. Swooping in
6:25
and like, you know, playing missionary
6:27
to the sort of like great
6:29
unwashed masses of the yet untouched
6:31
regions of the world is you
6:33
know, like obviously hyper xenophobic and,
6:36
you know, like incredibly colonialist and
6:38
paternalistic. And that is the churches
6:40
across the world all would always
6:42
do that. They view parts of
6:44
the world that have not yet
6:46
been touched by Western culture or
6:49
colonized exclusively by Western culture as
6:51
like ripe fruit for the picking.
6:53
And ripe for changing all their
6:55
views, right? Exactly what they want.
6:57
Yeah. I have a theological question.
6:59
I don't know if you know
7:02
the answer. I'm curious. sure
7:04
I know it. Cause Haley and I were talking
7:06
about this the other day and she said to
7:08
me that she thinks that there's like, so like
7:10
the deal with Christianity is we were joking about
7:13
it cause we were talking about Easter, right? And
7:15
our kids, I actually had all four of the
7:17
kids lined up and I was like, Hey, it
7:19
occurs to me that we gave them little Easter
7:21
baskets. Don't you guys know what
7:23
the fuck Easter is all about? Like the story
7:25
of Easter. And I pointed to Aislin who I
7:27
sent to Lutheran school for two years during the
7:29
pandemic. I was like, you don't get to answer.
7:31
You don't get to answer because I know, you
7:33
know, actually she was like bumped. I'm like, do
7:35
you guys even know what Easter is about? And
7:38
Finn figured it out last year. Donovan
7:41
figured it out from his last girlfriend. Like
7:43
I think a couple of years ago. Amon
7:45
had no idea. Sure. Amon's had no idea what
7:47
he was. He's like, it's about, yeah. He's like,
7:50
a bunny related holiday. You know? And of
7:52
course, Aislin knew. And so we were
7:54
talking and you know, Haley said, you know,
7:56
she thinks that there is a loophole
7:58
in Christianity that if you've never heard of
8:00
Christianity, you don't go to hell. That
8:02
like Jesus, Jesus dying for your sins, kind
8:04
of all that stuff kind of doesn't
8:06
count. Yeah. Is that true? Do
8:08
you know if that's true? So I
8:10
think, I think that is religion dependent. I
8:13
think it's religion dependent because I'll tell
8:15
you who doesn't believe that is the Jehovah's
8:17
Witnesses who think that only 144 ,000 people.
8:19
That's right. Yeah. So, so
8:21
clearly there are some sects
8:23
of Christianity who think, fuck
8:25
you. Right. You know, oh, you didn't
8:27
hear about it. Oh, that sounds like a lot
8:29
of your fucking problem, buddy. Because here's what she
8:31
pointed out, which I thought was really interesting. If
8:34
if there is a loophole that says,
8:36
I don't go to hell if I
8:38
didn't hear about it. than actually being
8:40
a missionary is a huge asshole move.
8:43
Yeah, because now you're making them help. Now you're making
8:45
them choose something. Yeah, you're like, especially a missionary
8:47
for like Jehovah's Witness. Right. And I mean, I think
8:49
what's going to happen now is you're going to
8:51
get, we're going to get a bunch of messages from
8:53
people who grew up religious because there's ton of
8:55
people who listen to the show who grew up religious.
8:57
And they're going to say, yeah, in my religion,
8:59
if it didn't matter if you knew or not, and
9:01
other religions, the others would be like, no, if
9:03
you never heard of it, it's fine. Do you know
9:05
what the Catholic stance on that happens to be?
9:07
It's okay. If you don't, I'm just curious. And
9:10
I think it's varied in the
9:12
Catholic Church because from what I've heard,
9:16
the Catholics, the ones
9:18
that I've talked to about it, because
9:20
I've brought up something similar before, and
9:22
the Catholics that I've talked to
9:24
about it, they all suggest that
9:26
basically if you don't have a
9:28
way to talk to God or
9:30
be with God, then you kind
9:33
of live without Him. And then
9:35
that also exists in the afterlife
9:37
too. You're just like, That's it.
9:39
You don't have it. So
9:41
just bad luck. They're just like,
9:43
bad luck. That's up to you.
9:45
Some of them are like that. And
9:47
others are like, no, if you
9:49
don't know, then it's okay. You can
9:51
be a good person and God
9:54
would still accept you. So then I
9:56
think it really is that liberal
9:58
and progressive sides of the church. Because
10:00
what an impossibly crazy religious tenet
10:02
to hold, that if somebody never heard
10:04
of this belief system, they are
10:07
still beholden to that belief system by
10:09
their deity. You know,
10:11
like I lived without God. So then God
10:13
is like, well, I know I created you and
10:15
I know you're a piece of me and
10:17
I know like I'm supposed to love you, but
10:19
I created you in a place where you
10:21
never heard about me. So for all of eternity,
10:23
You will now be bereft of my presence. What
10:26
an asshole thing to do. God is like,
10:28
God is like the, the government when they're like,
10:30
sorry, you can't be ignorant of the law.
10:32
And you're like, what? I didn't know. What I'm
10:34
literally ignorant of it. didn't know that I
10:36
wasn't allowed to have a buggy whip on Sunday.
10:39
It's like too bad. Like I spat on the
10:41
sidewalk while writing on a donkey in a bathtub
10:44
or whatever. Sorry, man. No, that's, that's jail, right
10:46
to jail, right to jail. It's like, it's like
10:48
God is your dad that like went out for
10:50
cigarettes when you were one and you know, remember
10:52
him at all. You know, and he never came
10:54
back and like, you're in trouble because you don't
10:56
love him. You know, like you didn't remember me
10:58
on Father's Day. It's like, what? I don't even
11:00
know who you are. You're right
11:02
up to here, man. What
11:04
do you want from me? Evil
11:43
is being defeated by God.
11:45
Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrates after
11:47
Pope's death. Yes, God. God
11:49
defeated the Pope at 88
11:51
years old. At 88 years
11:53
old. Was it long battle?
11:56
God was like, finally I got him. Pope
11:58
had a long battle with life. Okay,
12:02
look. I don't believe in any of the
12:04
stuff that these people believe in. Oh, yeah, it's
12:06
all fucking stupid. God, I don't believe in,
12:08
I don't believe the pulp was divine. I
12:11
don't believe that, you know, Marjorit Taylor
12:13
Green has a soul. I don't believe
12:15
in these things, right? Right. Yeah. Very
12:17
specifically Marjorit Taylor Green. The last one
12:19
is special. But like, like, I
12:21
don't believe in it, but I know
12:23
she does. And when I look
12:25
at her, I think she's afraid. I think
12:27
she's afraid because of all the exorcism stuff they
12:29
do. If
12:33
there was a
12:35
demon, if a demon
12:37
existed, wouldn't it be
12:39
Marjorie Taylor Greene? Don't you think? No,
12:41
I don't think that a demon would
12:43
bother. I think even a demon would
12:46
be disgusted to be inside of Marjorie
12:48
Taylor Greene. I'm
12:50
not going to stoop
12:52
so low. I'm going
12:54
to go inhabit this
12:56
cricket over here. It's
12:58
like, I know I came from a
13:01
place of eternal torment and suffering. I'd
13:03
rather be there than inside of Marjorie
13:05
Taylor green, which is literally what her
13:07
ex -husband said. She's
13:13
doing burpees and demons are just shooting
13:15
out of her. She's doing
13:17
kip up. pull ups, women are
13:19
shooting across the room. Yeah.
13:23
All this is, is just playing your bass,
13:25
right? It's playing your bass to be
13:27
like, because she knows that there isn't a
13:29
lot of Catholics in her base. There's
13:31
a bunch of evangelicals or Protestants or whatever.
13:33
And to her, this is a win.
13:35
Yeah. So she's going to be, but whatever,
13:37
I don't care that she's, I mean,
13:39
who cares that she's, um, Disrespecting
13:41
the Pope like yeah, who gives a
13:43
shit right like they're like there's an evil
13:46
lady talking about a bad guy Yeah,
13:48
right, and I'm just like okay. of I
13:50
kind of want them just to go
13:52
after each other It's like enemy of my
13:54
enemy like so get him who cares
13:56
oh get him I do think it's hilarious
13:58
when somebody dies of what is clearly
14:00
old age He's 88 years old so old
14:02
these people that these people are like
14:04
as old as George Burns, and you're just
14:06
like dude come on man Nobody won
14:08
anything. Like there's like, well, God made it
14:10
happen. Well, okay. Sure. Or like fucking
14:12
the telomeres were exhausted, right? Like he's fucking
14:14
88 years old. That shit just gives
14:16
out at a certain point. What? Like there's
14:18
like an assumption there. I think that
14:20
like, man, he would, okay. He would literally
14:22
would have lived forever. Like a vampire,
14:25
like a vamp hope that I'll believe that
14:27
right. Yeah, man. There's
14:29
a vamp Pope and he is
14:31
he's got a fucking picture of himself
14:33
that gets older Okay, I win.
14:35
Yeah, it's fucking Dorian Pope. I'm fine
14:37
dude. Yeah, I'm gonna fuck up
14:39
percent But there's been nothing no nothing
14:41
miraculous. He just died of old
14:43
age. Yeah I am extremely willing to
14:45
believe in magic. Somebody just has
14:47
to show me one magic. just want
14:49
a magic. Just one magic. a
14:51
single magic. Give me one magic. Like
14:53
they keep not showing me any
14:55
magic. They keep showing me like, well,
14:57
here's some holy water. You're like,
14:59
that's feces water dripping off a pipe
15:01
into a statue. It's,
15:04
it's something every time. They
15:06
open their mouths and baby birds
15:08
and swallow that shit. It's amazing. All
15:39
right, this is from the New
15:41
Republic. Abraigo Garcia's wife forced to
15:43
go into hiding. Thanks
15:45
to team Trump. This is disgusting. This
15:47
is grotesque. Yeah. So the Trump
15:49
administration is going through great pains to
15:52
do what all racists do, which
15:54
is to paint people of color that
15:56
they want to disparage as violent
15:58
thugs and criminals. You see it every
16:00
single time that like a white
16:02
cop shoots some black kid, all that
16:04
happens is like, not all that
16:06
happens, but a lot of the news
16:08
coverage, especially the right wing news
16:10
coverage will focus on, you know, He
16:12
got suspended from school in eighth
16:14
grade and here's a picture of him,
16:16
you know, like watching a rap
16:19
video or something like this fucking white
16:21
people are afraid of or whatever
16:23
stupid bullshit. It's whatever kind of character
16:25
assassination they can perform in order
16:27
to get the white base worked up.
16:29
in order to say that brown
16:31
guy was always bad. So it's okay
16:33
that we didn't follow the law.
16:35
It's okay that we violated their civil
16:37
rights. It's okay that we, you
16:39
know, didn't allow for due process. It's
16:41
okay that we circumvented all of
16:44
the systems that naturally safeguard each and
16:46
every person residing in the United
16:48
States of America because we did it
16:50
to a brown guy that had
16:52
it coming. Trump administration
16:54
has been doing that. And
16:56
in doing that, they released
16:58
documentation that contained his
17:01
wife's, they're the family home,
17:03
the family home address. The documentation
17:05
was a restraining order was
17:07
never, never fulfilled, right? So
17:10
the restraining order was, was, was written out,
17:12
but then it was, it was submitted.
17:14
And then I guess it was, like she
17:16
said, no, not to do it or
17:18
something like that. It was, it was basically,
17:20
it never was fulfilled, but they had
17:22
the paperwork. So the Trump administration decides to
17:24
just release it, but then they don't
17:26
redact her address. Well, she's currently the poster
17:28
child for both sides. war
17:30
on this, right? She
17:32
wants to get her husband back. I
17:36
imagine anybody on the left not thinking that
17:38
it's a good thing to get the
17:40
person back. In fact, some people on the
17:42
right are even talking about how removing
17:44
due process and doing this stuff is bad.
17:46
So there's a lot of people who
17:49
are against him being sent away, but you
17:51
also know that Trump has a sect
17:53
of people that are crazy and that will
17:55
do insane shit, like, I don't know,
17:57
give pipe bombs away to like, Yeah,
17:59
like media personalities and stuff. So we
18:01
know that there's a group of people that
18:03
are kind of crazy. I mean, they're crazy
18:05
enough to fucking go knock down the doors
18:07
at the at the Capitol during January 6th.
18:10
man. We know that there's a group
18:12
of people out there that are that are
18:14
on the hinge that'll do some crazy shit.
18:16
So she's worried now because they didn't redact
18:18
her address and this is the same place
18:20
where she lives. So now people know where
18:22
she lives just to go to a
18:24
safe house now and live until all this
18:26
stuff blows over because and and there's it You
18:29
could say it's incompetence, but I don't
18:31
think it is. I think they always blame
18:33
incompetence like, oh, we didn't mean to,
18:35
but they do shit to be mean too.
18:37
And I think one, it doesn't matter,
18:39
but I think you always have to lean
18:41
on the side that they're doing this
18:44
as a punitive measure to try to stop
18:46
her from doing this, to try to
18:48
get her to think like, maybe I shouldn't
18:50
be doing this. These people have a
18:52
lot more power than I, and I shouldn't
18:54
be fighting up against them. I also
18:56
think that I think two things are true
18:58
at the same time, which sound like
19:00
they are in opposition to one another, but
19:02
I don't believe they are. I do
19:04
think that there is a staggeringly high level
19:06
of real incompetence within this administration. And
19:09
I also think that
19:11
this administration intentionally embraces incompetence
19:13
and chaos as cover. Because
19:16
if they know that if
19:18
everybody just kind of blows it
19:20
off, as an error, as
19:22
incompetence, as the sort of natural
19:25
chaos of this administration, that
19:27
they're not held accountable the same
19:29
way that competent, mature, responsible
19:31
administrations and professionals would normally be.
19:35
It's part of that shotgun
19:37
effect, but it's also
19:40
this like weaponized incompetence of
19:42
government. It's fucking wild
19:44
to watch an action. I
19:46
hope she sues him. I do
19:48
too. Because I think like, You let
19:50
that, she's part of this media
19:52
attack of the left or on the
19:54
right right now that is going
19:56
after her. They're trying to, and if
19:58
they publicize this sort of thing,
20:00
I hope she sues everybody that publicized
20:02
it in any way. I hope
20:04
she sues them. Go after
20:06
them, man. And I know we talked
20:08
about this before. I do think it
20:11
bears a swift repeating that none of
20:13
this, none of who this guy is,
20:15
and what he's done actually matters. It's
20:17
an important, it's important to note that
20:20
that is always a distraction. I literally
20:22
do not care if he was a
20:24
murdering rapist of children. He's
20:26
still entitled to due process because
20:28
you don't know that he's a
20:30
murdering rapist of children unless you
20:33
go through the due process process.
20:35
What you have is a suspicion. What you
20:38
have is a maybe even a preponderance
20:40
of evidence. What you have is You know,
20:42
a lot of things, but until you
20:44
move through that process, you haven't established anything.
20:46
You've established literally nothing. These
20:48
processes are important to safeguard all of
20:51
us, to make sure that the rule
20:53
of law is what governs and not
20:55
the fucking whims of a dictator. Yeah.
21:15
This is from people, Robert F.
21:17
Kennedy Jr. to launch National Autism
21:19
Registry. Data will be collected from
21:21
pharmacy chains, lab tests, smartwatches and
21:23
more. And I read that and
21:25
I thought, the fuck is
21:27
my smartwatch going to tell somebody I'm
21:30
autistic? You might have
21:32
to enter it in. Yeah, maybe. reason.
21:35
Maybe? I don't know. Question mark? Yeah,
21:37
I don't know. I don't know. Like
21:39
I've got an Apple watch and I
21:41
got a Garmin watch. And I don't
21:43
think either of them have like an
21:45
autism setting on them. Yeah,
21:49
I don't think that there's anything, I
21:51
mean, I don't know. I mean, I
21:53
have no idea what kind of information
21:55
they can glean, but what they're trying
21:57
to get is they're saying that what
21:59
they want to do is use this
22:01
data when they do this sort of
22:03
meta study that they're planning. And the
22:05
meta study that RFK is planning is
22:08
he has already decided. before
22:10
any pen hits anything, that
22:12
the reason why autism
22:14
is rising isn't because we're
22:16
better at recognizing it,
22:18
which is probably why it's
22:20
rising. Instead, he throws
22:22
that out and said, that's not the
22:24
reason. It's an environmental factor. So he
22:27
knows for sure already, before he starts
22:29
any study whatsoever with his new position,
22:31
that it's going to be environmental. So
22:33
what he's gonna do is he's gonna
22:35
have a bunch of people, a bunch
22:37
of data scientists go through a ton
22:39
of different data, and then he's going
22:42
to have an answer. He already has
22:44
it. Unlike other studies where you don't
22:46
know what your conclusion is and don't
22:48
know when you'll finish it, he both
22:50
knows what his conclusion is that it's
22:52
going to be environmental, and he is
22:54
going to finish this study by September. So
22:57
he knows both of those things. That's
22:59
insane. And he's going to present, I
23:02
am willing to bet anybody that
23:04
it's vaccines. I am willing to
23:06
bet anybody right now a crisp
23:08
$100 bill that his environmental factor
23:10
that he's going to pull out
23:12
of thin air is going to
23:15
be vaccines. And so
23:17
he's got a plan already to
23:19
do this. And in order to
23:21
do that, he's going to collect
23:23
this data. Well, there's a couple
23:25
of things that are disturbing about
23:27
this. One is you shouldn't be
23:29
a person who gets to submit
23:31
data when you want to submit
23:33
data. Oh, really? Not just, you
23:36
know, somebody just randomly takes your
23:38
data, but then also a lot
23:40
of people are worried that this
23:42
might create what might amount to
23:44
an autism registry where there would
23:46
just know the names of people
23:48
with autism. And I don't
23:50
have to remind people of
23:52
fascist regimes in the past. of
23:55
doing bad things to people
23:57
they thought were less than. And
23:59
some of those people happen
24:01
to be, you know, in other
24:03
ways, differently abled, right? So,
24:06
I mean, I'm not adding those things together,
24:09
but I'm not saying that they don't
24:11
want to have that information so they could
24:13
disenfranchise those people in some way. In
24:15
some way, yeah. I mean, people with disabilities
24:17
have been put on fucking trains. That
24:19
is a fucking true fact about the world.
24:21
And maybe we don't want the United
24:23
States government to make a registry
24:26
of its undesirables, right? This is not
24:28
good. And like, I don't think people
24:30
with autism are undesirable, but I fucking
24:32
guarantee Robert F. Kennedy Jr does how
24:34
he talks about, I fuck. Yeah. I
24:36
mean, that's not, I'm not, I'm not
24:38
reaching. He doesn't, they use the bathroom.
24:40
Yeah. He is. He's like, he's like,
24:42
they, they, they, they'll never pay. They'll
24:44
never play taxes though. They'll never, they'll
24:46
never write a poem. They won't play
24:48
baseball. They won't fall in love. They
24:50
won't go to those. Some of these
24:52
people even use the bathroom on their
24:54
own. They'll live their whole life in
24:56
care, essentially. He doesn't know that like...
24:58
That it's a spectrum. That it's a
25:00
spectrum. That a huge... And
25:02
it's also like, I was looking into
25:04
this, it's not like there's like... One
25:06
thing that autism is it's like a
25:08
it's a name for a collection of
25:10
things, right? It's not just like you
25:13
know like when we say like I'm
25:15
gonna cure cancer and they're like Yeah,
25:17
but there's a million different types of
25:19
cancer like it's not a meaningful not
25:21
a meaningful thing to say it's the
25:23
same thing It's almost the same thing
25:25
with autism in the sense that like
25:27
we're gonna find the cause of autism
25:29
be like wait a minute Yeah, it's
25:31
just a collection of behaviors that we
25:33
call this thing and so yeah, it
25:35
just what they want to do is
25:37
what they started out to do, which
25:39
is why he was even put off
25:41
is so that they could say vaccines
25:43
are harmful. Trump wanted to do that
25:45
since the beginning. That's why he put
25:47
him in there. He put him in
25:49
there so everybody in the world can
25:51
hear the head of HHS say vaccines
25:53
are harmful. So here's what another thing
25:55
to be afraid of here that I'm
25:57
really nervous about. If
26:00
he goes down that
26:02
road by September, Will
26:04
these vaccines cease to even be
26:06
available to those that want them?
26:09
No idea. There will certainly be,
26:11
there's already, I saw something today
26:13
that I think in the Washington
26:15
Post, it was in the Washington
26:17
Post that in 25 years, if
26:19
we keep at this vaccination rate,
26:22
millions of Americans will have gotten
26:24
measles. Millions of people.
26:27
And that's right now
26:29
in a population that
26:31
is largely vaccinated. But
26:33
if these vaccines not only
26:35
are not required, but aren't even
26:38
available, because genuinely, if we
26:40
get to a point where the
26:42
head of the HHS completes
26:44
a meta study with non -willing
26:46
participants, that's awesome, super cool, very
26:48
chill, low, low, big, not
26:50
a big government thing to do at all
26:53
to just do that, but completes a meta
26:55
study, arrives at a conclusion that was foregone
26:57
and says these vaccines cause autism. Here's a
26:59
causal link. Wouldn't the
27:01
only responsible thing to do if you really
27:03
had that data be to pull those
27:05
products from the shelves? Well, and then what
27:07
does that do for global travel? Because
27:10
suddenly if I want to travel certain
27:12
places in the world, I have to take
27:14
a vaccine from here. If I want
27:16
to travel to a place that might have
27:18
yellow fever, some sort of, you know,
27:20
yellow fever or if I could get dengue
27:22
or I can get I don't even
27:24
know if there's a vaccine for that, but
27:26
you know what I mean? Like one
27:29
of those things, like I have people right
27:31
now traveling to India. They have to
27:33
get shots before they go to India. Yeah.
27:35
But what do you say to people
27:37
who are coming to your country from the
27:39
United States as somebody who is a
27:41
nation that's vaccinated are now we on the
27:43
watch list for their countries where they're
27:46
like, sorry, we, you know, you're not able
27:48
to, you can't come here until you
27:50
get vaccinated, et cetera. Um, because I mean,
27:52
like think about that thing about how
27:54
that interacts. I mean, suddenly we, you know,
27:56
the dollars going down, people aren't coming
27:58
here. And now other people won't even let
28:00
us go there because we're gonna have
28:03
get America vaccines. And like,
28:05
I mean, I would 100 % get
28:07
on an airplane and fly someplace to
28:09
get vaccines. I would, I would be
28:11
a vaccine tourist because I am a
28:13
big believer in vaccines. I am a
28:15
big believer in the radical notion that
28:17
it is better to not be sick
28:20
than to be sick. I know. Fucking
28:22
crazy. Call me, call me crazy. I
28:24
did go to high school biology. So
28:26
I feel like that's a thing. Sure.
28:28
Yeah. So we're just going to create
28:30
an industry of people leaving this country
28:32
to get the most basic medicines that
28:35
are sometimes almost a hundred years old.
28:37
That's insane, dude. It
28:54
was from the Guardian. Fears
28:56
grow that signal leaks make Pete
28:58
Hegseth top espionage target. Experts
29:00
say Pentagon chief has endangered secrets
29:02
of US defense department and
29:04
given assistance to foreign spies. Super
29:07
cool. And like I
29:09
read this article because you put in the
29:11
notes. I read this article and I thought,
29:13
well, no duh. Like if
29:15
I was, if I was some, if
29:17
I was the head of like the
29:19
Chinese intelligence agency, I would look at
29:21
this administration and be like, That dude's
29:23
a bad decision machine. There is a
29:25
weakest link here for sure. Right. Yeah.
29:27
Like this guy is fucking porous as
29:30
a sponge. Are you kidding me?
29:32
That is family. on the same,
29:34
on a different signal. a different signal chat.
29:36
Like his wife and his lawyer and his
29:38
lawyer and a couple other people. It's like,
29:40
dude, do you have like a friends and
29:42
family plan? For real, man. You have to,
29:44
you're, they're included in this. Do they get
29:46
Disney plus two? Like what is
29:48
happening? It's bundled with Hulu. Can you imagine
29:50
somebody so incompetent? And it's insane to
29:53
me that they defend this guy. What you
29:55
should have done initially was just fire
29:57
him. You should have been like, yeah, you
29:59
know what? That my mistake and I'll
30:01
find somebody else. There's another sycophant out there.
30:03
Oh, I know that'll fit the fucking
30:05
bill for this guy. What's that? Why have
30:07
him in there? And the reason why
30:09
is Trump doesn't ever want to admit he
30:11
ever made a mistake ever in his
30:13
life. He's never made a mistake. And so
30:16
what he'll do is he'll be he'll
30:18
fight till the bitter end, even though you
30:20
put what could be one of the
30:22
most incompetent people in in the country in
30:24
this position. Somebody and what did I
30:26
tell? What did I say? I hadn't heard
30:28
anybody talk about it at all. But
30:31
I said, the reason why he
30:33
included all that shit in that text that
30:35
he sent out to all of his, all
30:37
the people on the signal thread that was
30:39
like Tulsi Gabbard and all those other people.
30:41
The reason why he included that. was because
30:43
he wanted to swing dick and show people.
30:45
He didn't have to include the actual shit
30:47
in there. He have to say it was
30:49
an F17 or whatever that flew out here.
30:51
It was, here's these drone packages. Here's this
30:54
stuff. He included the jargon in there because
30:56
he wanted to show how in control he
30:58
was. He wanted to swing dick. He wanted
31:00
to swing dick. He wanted to show how
31:02
tough he was. Look at what I'm doing.
31:04
I'm the one who's facilitating this stuff. That's
31:06
why they're on the signal chain too. You
31:08
got the guy who doesn't believe
31:11
he's been picked and he can't stop
31:13
talking about how important he is
31:15
to all his friends and family. And
31:17
that's why he's involved in this
31:19
too. And that's the worst person I
31:21
have in that position. You want
31:23
somebody who understands the gravity of the
31:25
things that they're doing. That's who
31:28
you want in that position. Yeah, man.
31:30
He's straight up copy pasted shit from the
31:33
one signal chat over into the other
31:35
signal chat. And it was just, it was
31:37
just absolutely a fucking flex. It was
31:39
a fucking friends and family flex. That's what
31:41
it was. Like, look what a, look
31:43
what a big fucking deal I am. Won't
31:45
you guys worship me next Thanksgiving? You
31:47
go to his barbecue and there's just like
31:50
big printouts of those signals, things
31:52
like he's got one on the fridge with
31:54
a magnet on. He's that, he's that guy like
31:56
standing there with that, the fucking girl is
31:58
like, hang on, hang on a minute guys. It's
32:01
set calm. I
32:03
got to take this. Yeah,
32:05
it's central command guys.
32:07
Hold on. Is everybody quiet?
32:09
So I can take
32:11
this call from central command.
32:15
Hello. How you doing? Secretary
32:17
Hexeth, can I help
32:19
you? I also think
32:21
too, this is a little, this is
32:23
a little harder for Trump. to back down
32:25
on because this was the big pony
32:27
he backed when he was picking his cabin.
32:29
This is the one that everybody said
32:31
don't do. Yeah. And this was the one
32:33
they had the most. This was really
32:35
the big political will test. And so there
32:37
was a lot more pushback against Pete
32:39
Hegstaff than everybody else. It was the first
32:41
big one with big pushback. And this
32:44
was the one where he basically twisted every
32:46
arm and broke every back and was
32:48
like, I am flexing my will to get
32:50
this guy. As soon as he gets
32:52
this guy, he's backed them so hard. Now
32:54
we can't back down because he's, he's
32:56
already flexed hard to get this done. So.
32:58
Like, he's kind of fucking stuck. He's
33:01
stuck because he's a narcissist. get me
33:03
wrong. He's not stuck in a decent
33:05
person way. He's not stuck in any
33:07
real way, because any real person would
33:09
just say you're fired. Like, I don't
33:11
know anybody who would accept that kind
33:13
of incompetence from anyone who works. You'd
33:15
be like, no, what are you kidding
33:17
me? CBS
33:51
news. Hegseth orders makeup
33:53
studio installed at the Pentagon.
33:56
So originally he wanted to put
33:58
like a $40 makeup
34:00
studio. Is it soundproof too? So we can
34:03
make calls from it. Like that one guy
34:05
got a sit room or whatever. One of
34:07
those rooms. Oh my God. Like one of
34:09
those like super secure rooms. Super secure rooms.
34:11
Yeah. It's a fucking, it's got to get
34:13
smart doors. You know, he's got to like
34:15
walk down a series of like, I hope
34:17
it's, I hope it's like a poll you
34:19
slide down. And it's like, you know how
34:21
when, when Batman would slide down the poll,
34:23
he'd change costume. I hope when Hexess slides
34:25
down, his face gets painted with makeup. So
34:28
just gets, he gets bronze real quick as he
34:30
goes down. And then when he lands, he's right
34:32
in front of the cameras and he can talk.
34:35
Here I am. I
34:37
love that like we're at a place
34:39
where we are firing like. the entire
34:42
education department. We've laid off like the
34:44
whole fucking CFPB, the consumer financial protection
34:46
bureau. We're firing IRS agents. So we
34:48
collect less revenue from billionaires, but like
34:50
we want to make sure we give
34:52
Pete Hegs at the goddamn glow up,
34:54
right? We got it. We got to
34:56
get his fucking glam squad on. I
34:59
think it's important that, that every member
35:01
of the secretary cabinet has gender affirming
35:03
care. I think that that's
35:05
important. And I'm glad
35:07
the Trump administration agrees. Great. Fucking
35:09
embrace it. Everyone should have gender affirming
35:11
care. Even Pete had Seth and
35:13
for him, that's bronzer and like, and
35:15
yeah, and like they have to
35:17
tattoo in his fucking eyebrows or whatever
35:19
they got to do. They have
35:21
to put a little concealer on his
35:23
white supremacist tattoo. Jesus fucking Christ. What
35:26
a fucking narcissistic piece of
35:29
shit asshole. I love it. I
35:31
love to how They were talking about
35:33
all this fraud and abuse. They're like, oh,
35:35
it's fraud and abuse. We're going to
35:37
cut it. We're going to clean it. And
35:39
they're just like, by the way, can
35:41
I put this on my company card? Can
35:44
I charge this? Is that OK? So
35:46
where's the expense button? I'm expensing this. Super
35:48
excited to be part of this. I
35:50
have this as my job so I can
35:52
expense this beautiful makeup studio. CNN,
36:21
that ends now. Judge overseeing a
36:23
Brego Garcia case knocks Trump administration
36:25
for repeated stonewalling. So the Trump
36:27
administration was supposed to do substantive
36:29
stuff to facilitate the return. If
36:31
they weren't going to do substance
36:33
stuff to facilitate the return of
36:36
a break of Garcia, they were
36:38
supposed to give at least substantive
36:40
answers. And instead they gave a
36:42
bunch of boilerplate bullshit. Nothing answers.
36:44
And the judge was like, this
36:46
is boilerplate bullshit. Nothing. You guys
36:48
are bad at your job. Yeah.
36:50
Basically every time they'd come in,
36:52
they would be. ill -equipped, unprepared,
36:55
bad arguments, and she would just
36:57
be like, what are you doing?
36:59
What is happening? Why are you
37:01
treating this like this? And like
37:03
you suggest, that's a level of
37:05
chaos that they bring to this, right? That
37:08
sort of weaponized incompetence is
37:10
necessary for them. And it
37:12
makes it feel like that
37:14
there's this sort of constant
37:16
low -level hum of chaos
37:19
in the whole administration. They're,
37:22
I mean, just even just look at, we
37:24
can't tell, we don't know, because they
37:26
came in and said it was a mistake
37:28
that he got sent there, but then
37:30
they said it wasn't, and then they said
37:33
it was, and then they said it
37:35
wasn't, and they've been going back and forth
37:37
on whether or not it even is.
37:39
But even if it isn't, it's still bad,
37:41
right? Even if he just got sent
37:43
over, it's still bad. And the judge can't
37:45
even find certain important pieces of this
37:47
out. Like, let's figure out like the best
37:49
way to get it. And I think
37:51
that they're just doing this. You know, they're
37:53
sending in the three stooches and like
37:55
accidentally poking the clerk in the eye. And
37:57
they're like, they're like, you know... like
38:00
smacking each other in the head. They're
38:02
walking through a giant pane of glass
38:04
that guys are carrying down the street.
38:06
Yeah, so he crashes, they're chasing each
38:08
other around the plaintiff table. They're just
38:10
like, yeah, these people, they're not serious
38:12
people. And she, like,
38:14
I think too, I
38:16
just really want to see the hammer
38:18
start coming down. What I want to see
38:21
is the hammer get these people and
38:23
hit these low level people hard. Hit them
38:25
real hard so no one's willing to
38:27
do this work for him. Yeah, you're immune.
38:30
Yeah, you know, these really high up people in your
38:32
in our, in your department are immune, but hit
38:34
them so hard that like. there's nobody
38:36
in the attorney general's office who's willing to go
38:38
down there and talk for them. Pam Bondi's got
38:40
to go court to court. That's what I want
38:42
to see is make her go do the work
38:44
because no one's willing to do it. Everybody's like,
38:46
no, man, they're putting the people in jail. No,
38:48
man, I ain't doing that. I ain't doing that.
38:50
I got a lot family. I'm not
38:52
doing that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't,
38:54
I don't disagree with that take
38:56
like at all. And I do
38:58
think that there's a real problem
39:01
see. So when serious systems try
39:03
to intake unserious people, serious
39:05
systems, like we've built a whole
39:07
series of systems that are built on
39:09
kind of an assumption of orderliness
39:12
and an assumption of like a respect
39:14
for the system that you're engaging. And
39:17
I think there's a real impossibility
39:19
element that we haven't figured out
39:21
when you send these like agents
39:23
of unserious chaos into these orderly
39:25
systems of serious people. The serious
39:27
people don't seem to know how
39:29
to respond to this. There's a
39:32
flummoxing. Yeah, and it's because The
39:35
threat of all the things that you were
39:37
planning to do was enough to keep everyone
39:39
else in line. That's totally enough for everybody
39:41
else to be like, okay, no, I don't
39:43
want to fuck with that person. Like I
39:45
will do what it takes. But we saw,
39:47
even when Trump was out of office, we
39:49
saw these people not respond to summons as
39:51
we saw this in the first one too.
39:54
We should have known, I mean, you should have known. You
39:56
should have known that this was gonna happen. Everyone should
39:58
have known that this was gonna happen. Here's
40:00
the thing, there are no surprises
40:02
here. Nobody, nobody should be, nobody paying attention
40:04
right now has been, I don't think there's
40:06
been a place where if you've been paying
40:08
attention, anything that's happened, you have an ability
40:10
to be like, I didn't see that one
40:12
coming. That wasn't on my bingo card. It's
40:15
all the project 2025 bingo. It's all there. everything
40:32
changed when the fire nation
40:34
attacked. The independent Sarah
40:36
Sanders begs her old boss,
40:38
Trump, to reconsider after president
40:40
rejects Arkansas's request for disaster
40:42
relief funds. The Arkansas
40:44
governor and former Trump White
40:46
House press secretary's request for federal
40:48
support was rejected. Oh, that's
40:51
terrible. Man, that's really tough. You
40:53
know, here's the problem with
40:55
conservatism. They. A
40:59
lot of people would like to think that they
41:01
want to cut these things. They want to cut out
41:03
these things or whatever. And they
41:05
do want to cut them because what they
41:07
don't want is for you to get it,
41:09
right? You should never get this. You're not
41:11
deserving. So they want to cut everything they
41:14
can so that you don't get it. But
41:16
every time they need it, they want it,
41:18
and they get upset when they don't get
41:20
it, right? And they also take advantage
41:22
of everything that they possibly can that is
41:24
government -based. They just don't want you to have
41:26
any of it. And so that's
41:28
the difference. That's what conservatives want. Now,
41:31
I would hope that the people on the left are
41:33
like, yeah, everybody deserves to get this. Of
41:35
the stuff that our tax
41:37
scholars goes to, I'm ecstatic. if
41:39
my tax dollars are going
41:41
to fix somebody's fucking home in
41:44
Arkansas because like a fucking
41:46
twister came through and threw a
41:48
cow through their picture. Like
41:50
I'm like, yeah man, fucking pay
41:52
that dude. Yeah man, fucking A. I'm
41:55
ecstatic when my money goes
41:57
to a tangible thing that
41:59
is actually helping a human
42:01
being here in the States
42:03
that needs our help, fucking
42:05
yes, that's what I wanna
42:07
see. As soon
42:09
as he came in office, he's like,
42:11
no, we're not doing that anymore. Yeah,
42:13
we're not doing it anymore. Like I
42:15
can't wait. I cannot wait for the
42:17
first like real, real widespread disaster, hurricane,
42:19
first real, real widespread, like, you know,
42:21
something big, wildfire, something big is going
42:23
to hit and it's going to be
42:25
so big and it's going to be
42:27
like massive to the point where that
42:30
that money, if that money doesn't come,
42:32
these people are going to be fucked
42:34
and it's not just to be a
42:36
small group. It could be all of
42:38
Florida. It could be hundreds of thousands
42:40
of people in Florida. We saw it
42:42
happen in North Carolina with all these
42:44
people. And Trump believed the narrative
42:46
that those people weren't getting money because that's
42:48
what the Republicans pushed because they wanted
42:50
it to seem like. The Democrats were withholding
42:52
that money or whatever and they weren't
42:54
actually getting that money. I mean, you'll hear
42:56
it constantly working its way through the
42:58
right -wing ecosystem that they say, oh, those
43:00
people never got any money and they want
43:02
to keep that lie up because they
43:05
wanted to get rid of it from the
43:07
first. They wanted to get rid of
43:09
it all. together because they said it's corrupt.
43:11
But it was never corrupt and all
43:13
those people needed that money. They needed it,
43:15
man. They it. All these
43:17
places. And it's going to be the ones
43:19
they're going to suffer the worst are going
43:21
to be the places that are the deep
43:23
red places that just don't have the infrastructure
43:25
to fix it. Yeah, man. The, the, would
43:27
you look at like the areas that are
43:29
most affected by hurricanes most often? These
43:32
are not. Fucking blue States, man. These
43:34
are not blue States. And that Trump and
43:36
Trump came out and was like, yeah,
43:38
if there's a fucking problem in Oklahoma, let
43:40
Oklahoma fix it. He is basically saying,
43:42
let's, let's stop the disaster, federal disaster relief.
43:44
Fuck that. Where's our
43:46
break in our taxes, guys? As
43:49
we like think about, I want
43:51
everybody to always think about this, like,
43:53
and remind your conservative friends of
43:55
this. As we continue to provide less
43:57
and less services, tell me, have
43:59
your taxes changed? Has your paycheck gotten
44:01
any bigger? Check your last check,
44:04
your last two week W2 paycheck. Take
44:06
a look at your paycheck and
44:08
tell me if it's changed because if
44:10
it hasn't changed, all we've gotten
44:12
is nothing but less than all we
44:14
had. You paid the same amount
44:16
for less. Yep. Yeah. Cause I might
44:18
tell you what, like my, my
44:20
fucking bank account did not get any
44:22
fatter and we are getting less
44:24
services. So as we continue to get
44:27
less and less services, I want you guys to keep
44:29
an eye on your paycheck. And if it does
44:31
change, Tell me if it's worth it. Yeah. Tell me
44:33
if it's worth it when that hurricane comes and
44:35
floods out tens of thousands of It's not going to
44:37
change. Yeah. It's not going to change. It's not
44:39
going to change. I know it's not going change. Yeah,
44:41
that money is going to go somewhere. Yeah. And
44:43
it isn't to you. It ain't you. It isn't to
44:45
you. It's never you, man. Because I'll tell you
44:47
what, I'm 47. It's never been me. It's
44:50
been me once when George W.
44:52
Bush gave me $300. The
45:22
new republic panicking Trump walks back
45:24
his attacks on the Fed and China
45:27
Donald Trump seems to have finally
45:29
realized he's sending the economy into a
45:31
tailspin Maybe this will be true
45:33
tomorrow. Maybe it won't maybe it won't
45:35
like who knows fucking like this
45:37
week at one point. He's like It
45:39
can't come soon enough. We got
45:41
to fire Jerome Powell, the federal, federal
45:44
reserve chief and the markets fucking
45:46
implode when they hear that, right? Because
45:48
that's just like, Hey, what we
45:50
need is a grotesque level of instability
45:52
within our economy. And we need
45:54
to like couple together the executive branch
45:56
and the Fed. Important note. Jerome
45:59
Powell's term is up in
46:01
two years. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
46:03
So understand that there will
46:05
be. in the
46:07
in Trump's presidency, unless something
46:10
else happens, maybe he
46:12
doesn't finish his presidency out
46:14
for some reason. But
46:16
let's just presume. don't believe, but I need
46:18
a genuflex. Let's just presume. I have thoughts
46:20
about this. That he's going to finish his
46:23
term. If
46:25
he finishes his term, he will pick a
46:27
new fed chair. I know, man. Well, he
46:29
picked your own power. I know, but like he
46:31
had a person in the room who said,
46:33
pick your own power. Yeah. Well, you know why
46:35
you picked him? Just real quick. Do you
46:37
know why he picked him? Cause he pulled it
46:39
out of the hat and it wasn't a
46:42
practice. You're very close. You're actually very close. He
46:44
picked him because he thought he looked good,
46:46
literally looked good. He sees his comment was he
46:48
looks like a guy straight out of central
46:50
casting. He did. He didn't pick the other person
46:52
because he thought they were too short. That's
46:55
a reason I'm dead serious about this. I
46:57
am dead serious. That is how he picked your
46:59
own Powell. He thought he looked to the
47:02
part of a federal reserve chief. looked
47:04
the part Cecil. I've
47:07
stunned you into silence. That's
47:09
a true fact. I will say that
47:11
doesn't surprise me. You know what? You
47:13
like think you say that and I'm
47:16
like, yeah, no, that's fine. Yeah, that's
47:18
fine. That's that's pretty much what it
47:20
that's pretty much what you voted for
47:22
with 2025. You pretty much voted for
47:24
a. visual based system on
47:26
who you choose for your fed chair.
47:28
Like, yeah, that's fine. I mean, what
47:30
does he do anyway? He just makes
47:32
money. Like who cares? Shemi is going
47:34
to be our next fed chair. Oh
47:36
God. I don't think so. What's,
47:40
fucking insane to me
47:42
is that Jerome Powell
47:44
has actually done. the
47:46
impossible. He did a good job. He
47:48
did more than a great job. He
47:50
did the impossible. So if
47:53
you were following this, any of this
47:55
stuff, what the federal is aiming
47:57
for was what they called a soft
47:59
landing. And the soft landing.
48:01
Soft landing from COVID. Right. Think
48:03
about this, guys. Before Tom finishes,
48:06
COVID, which was an absolute
48:08
disaster around the globe, Trashing
48:11
markets, killing industries, it
48:13
did all kinds of
48:15
awful things. COVID was
48:17
an absolute destroyer of
48:20
markets. And the best we
48:22
could do to get out of it,
48:24
we had to give out a couple of
48:26
stimulus checks. We had to do some
48:28
extra stuff to make sure that people that
48:30
couldn't even do regular work had the
48:32
money to spend. It was insane. and
48:34
then they wanted a soft landing from
48:36
that. They wanted a soft landing. Cause
48:38
it was a disaster. Cause it was
48:40
a fuck it was an enormous international
48:43
economic disaster. And the Fed has a
48:45
dual mandate. So the Fed's mandate is
48:47
to keep unemployment low and to keep
48:49
economic growth high, right? So that's their,
48:51
that's a dual mandate. So those are,
48:53
those two things have to be sort
48:55
of balanced all the time. And the
48:57
soft landing was to grow the economy
48:59
at a rate that also did not
49:01
balloon out inflation. Sure. Inflation began to
49:03
balloon out for a variety of reasons.
49:05
They used the biggest tool in their
49:07
toolbox, which is the interest rates. They
49:09
raised interest rates. They brought them up.
49:11
They brought them down. before this. Powell
49:14
was on before we
49:16
did, before COVID existed
49:18
or was before COVID popped, before there
49:20
was a pandemic. And everybody said,
49:22
that there is almost no way that
49:24
we are going to be able
49:27
to avoid a recession. Everybody was
49:29
like that soft landing was like a myth.
49:31
It was a dream. It was like something
49:33
that was almost certain to not happen. And
49:35
we pulled it off. We pulled
49:37
it off. We brought the
49:39
inflation back down from fucking, you
49:41
know, 9 % to somewhere around
49:43
like 2 .93%, somewhere around there.
49:47
Job growth remains strong. The
49:49
economy continued to grow at
49:51
a reasonable rate. The soft
49:53
landing happened. It was an
49:56
impossible economic historical moment. He's
49:58
not a good fed chair.
50:00
He is historically a miraculously
50:02
good fed chair. And he's
50:04
like getting attacked because Trump in
50:06
a hundred days created a crisis
50:08
that now he needs other grownups
50:10
to try to solve. And he
50:12
doesn't understand how to do it.
50:15
He's like, Make the interest rates
50:17
lower, dummy! Yeah. Which would
50:19
be the wrong thing to do. He's just
50:21
the worst. He's the worst. I don't even
50:23
know what I'm talking about, and I'm a
50:25
thousand times better than he is. You know,
50:27
I was initially a little dubious of Trump's
50:29
selection criteria. But I
50:31
will say, you needed
50:33
somebody who was going to go hard in the paint. and
50:36
be a rim protector, and
50:38
you need a tall guy that.
50:41
You gotta get a tall guy. You can't get
50:43
one of these little Steph Curry guys. He's
50:45
shooting threes. You gotta get one of these
50:47
big boys out there. You need a Shaquille
50:49
O 'Neal, you know, a big
50:51
guy. And so I initially
50:53
dubious of Trump's ideas on a
50:56
tall guy, but now I've
50:58
fallen in line. I've fallen in line. Nice
51:00
tall guy. That's what we needed. We
51:02
need a tall guy. We knew he was
51:04
going to balloon out. He was tall. God. What
51:06
a fucking - Amazing. What a fucking - I
51:08
don't believe I live in this world day. I
51:10
don't believe I live in it either, man.
51:12
Every day I'm like, I don't believe I -
51:14
I don't believe this world's real. I don't believe
51:16
you're real. I'm not real.
51:18
Dude, - I don't care. I look up, I'm
51:20
like, this is the dumbest simulation. I am
51:23
living - Press pause! I'm living in the
51:25
worst Sims game. I
51:27
don't even know if there's tariffs on China anymore.
51:29
I think it doesn't even matter. And
51:32
the thing is, is like, like, from what
51:34
I, what I heard and from what I
51:36
read, you sent me a story this week
51:38
where basically China is like, go fuck yourself. We'll
51:41
be fine. We're going
51:43
to do this on the 25 and
51:45
Trump's like, but wait, I need to
51:47
talk to you. And like, so, so
51:49
because Trump, Trump thinks he's the toughest
51:51
guy on the block, but then the
51:53
moment he got a talking to this
51:55
week by a bunch of CEOs are
51:57
like, you're going to have empty shelves.
51:59
You're going to have empty shelves if
52:01
you don't fucking figure this out. And
52:03
so he's now trying to backpedal and
52:05
he's like, Oh, we've got, we're going
52:07
to have to take those tariffs down
52:09
on China. Even though he's never had
52:12
a conversation with them. This is absurd.
52:14
It's like China's always known that there's
52:16
a midterm coming up in 2026. China's
52:18
not like ignorant of American politics. If
52:20
like they just, they just fucking stonewall
52:22
them until then. And he should have ruined.
52:25
I mean we're in two
52:27
though guys, so it's
52:29
like a bad what a
52:32
fucking idiot what an
52:34
idiot I Come from the

52:54
from CBC. I think, I don't
52:56
know. I can't read it. CTV.
52:58
That's what CTV news, some Canadian
53:00
thing. We no longer felt welcome
53:02
nor safe. Canadian snowbirds cashing out
53:04
of us for good. These people
53:06
are buying their, they said that
53:09
they were 13 % of the
53:11
real estate market, foreign real estate
53:13
market. 13 % of that market
53:15
said, nah, most of them are like,
53:17
nah, I'm good. They're not coming back.
53:19
They're not, these people would come here
53:21
every year. And so think about that
53:23
return. Yeah. You know what mean? It's
53:25
not just like a one time trip
53:27
to one place, right? You're not just
53:29
taking a one time trip to Nashville.
53:31
You're taking a every year for three
53:33
months. I'm living in Florida because I'm
53:35
a snow bird. I fly down there.
53:37
I live in Canada. I'm like one
53:39
of the fucking geese, one of those
53:41
angry geese. I fly down there. God,
53:43
I wish those fucking things. They don't
53:45
even migrate anymore. They just hang out.
53:47
They just hang out all winter honking
53:49
at you. just chill. In any
53:51
case, those Canadian geese are going to be
53:53
the only Canadians you see because all the
53:55
rest of them are like, fuck you. And
53:57
they don't want to do it. They're not
53:59
interested in doing it anymore. And I don't
54:01
blame them. And like we talked about before,
54:04
what's going to happen is, is you're going
54:06
to get it, you know, fingers crossed,
54:08
we'll have a new president, fingers crossed. Who
54:10
the fuck knows? Fingers crossed, you have
54:13
a new president. You could even change the
54:15
government. Topsy Turvy, all Democrats or all
54:17
people on the left or whatever. Do
54:20
they trust you now now that they've seen that
54:22
somebody can go hard in the pain against them
54:24
We got a tall guy on our side. It's
54:26
gonna go hard in the pain on him. Now
54:28
what what are they gonna do? They're gonna be
54:30
like I'm okay. We don't,
54:32
you know what? I found it. I found
54:34
a nice place in Europe. I'm going to
54:36
go visit. Oh, instead I built a, I
54:38
built a place in, you know, in some
54:40
other place like Acapulco or something. I
54:42
went somewhere, I went to Costa Rica. It's
54:44
a little longer flight, but you know what?
54:47
It's just, it's, it's nicer down there. Yeah.
54:49
They're not shitting it. I'm in Belize now.
54:51
Right. So. Yeah. Awesome. I love Belize. But
54:53
yeah, like the, the amount of money, if
54:55
I, if I were in Florida right now,
54:57
I would be in a fucking absolute tailspin.
54:59
I would be in a panic. What's
55:01
always amusing to me
55:03
is that these economic effects
55:05
of a lot of
55:07
this stuff, they are not
55:09
proportionally felt. They are
55:11
disproportionately felt, right? So if
55:13
you create a situation
55:15
where, you know, you've got these big
55:18
ass tariffs, you fucking pissed off our neighbors
55:20
to the north, you pissed off our neighbors to
55:22
the south, you pissed off all of our
55:24
neighbors in Western Europe, just everybody's pissed. And you
55:26
start to see things like tourism begin to
55:28
drop. Florida. Florida
55:30
is like a fucking tourist
55:32
Mecca. It is the only
55:35
economy. What does matters
55:37
about Florida? It's got nothing
55:39
but alligator swamps, fucking
55:41
Zika virus, mosquitoes. It's a horrible
55:43
place. It's a horrible
55:45
place. So you
55:47
go there for the tourist stuff
55:49
or you die. There's nothing to do
55:51
in Florida, but die or be
55:53
a tourist. That's the only options that
55:55
you have. Like there's a reason
55:57
my mom lives in Florida. It's trash.
55:59
It's absolute trash. They
56:01
have got to be panicking. Their real
56:03
estate market has got to be
56:05
absolutely panicking. I would be
56:07
desperate if I were in Florida right now.
56:09
And the same is true for many
56:11
other places across this country. a ton of
56:14
places that have so much tourism dollars
56:16
that come in and, you know, gosh, it's,
56:18
it's our, it's our Northern neighbor. They're
56:20
going to come. They're going to show up.
56:22
It's an easy flight. If
56:24
I drive to Toronto and fly down
56:26
to Chicago, it's a two -hour flight.
56:28
Yeah, it's nothing. a
56:30
one -hour flight to New York. It's a three
56:32
-hour flight to Florida. These are
56:34
real easy flights. It's like when you think
56:37
about where you're going to travel, you're like,
56:39
oh, it's only a three -hour flight to Vegas?
56:41
Well, maybe I'll go to Vegas. It's
56:43
okay to go for a weekend even.
56:46
Yeah. All that money's gone. That
56:48
money doesn't come back. And then it might
56:50
not come back next time either. And
56:52
you ruined it. and you ruined it in
56:54
100 days. It took you 100 days
56:56
to ruin it. So, you
56:58
get what you pay for and
57:00
we voted for this and that's what
57:03
we get, but it's a disaster
57:05
for so many people and I'm sad
57:07
because I think that I wish
57:09
that we could still be united with
57:11
that group. I think it's
57:13
awesome that we were for so long
57:15
and it's like, I feel sad about
57:17
it. I'm like, oh, it sucks. It
57:19
sucks that we're not considered their neighbor
57:21
anymore. And I feel distressed too, knowing
57:23
that if I go to Canada, I
57:26
would feel embarrassed to be there.
57:28
I would feel very embarrassed to travel
57:30
the world and be American. I
57:32
would feel like I would need to
57:34
say I'm not that kind of
57:36
American. I'm considering, I'm not
57:38
sure I'm going to do it, buying a
57:40
maple leaf hat because I'm flying
57:42
to Europe this spring or summer. I'm
57:45
going to be going to Europe, I'm
57:47
to go into Scandinavia and I'm considering if
57:50
I get a maple leaf hat
57:52
and I talk English. Politely? And
57:54
I'm still polite. Just apologize a lot.
57:56
You'll be fine. I feel like I might
57:58
be able to avoid shittiness because people will
58:01
be like, you're an American. Fuck you. I
58:03
mean, I kind of don't blame them at
58:05
all. I don't blame them, you know? You
58:07
would want to identify like not MAGA. Yeah.
58:09
Like I just wear a shirt all the
58:11
time. I'm not MAGA. Fuck those people. Yeah.
58:15
If you're evil and you're on the
58:17
rise, you can count on the four
58:19
of us taking you down because we're
58:21
good and evil never beats us. We'll
58:23
win the fight and then go out
58:25
for pizzas. From The Guardian,
58:27
don't believe the doubters. Protest still has
58:29
power. I want to tell you about
58:31
my protest. Tell me about it. Oh,
58:33
so went downtown. My
58:36
wife and I decided to
58:38
drive down. We picked
58:40
up friends of ours and
58:42
they brought their son. And
58:45
all of us went. Their son is
58:47
like, he's like 10 now. And so
58:49
all of us drove down, we got
58:51
out, we had our signs. I
58:54
had a sign that says, they
58:56
want 1939's Germany. Let's give him
58:58
1789 France and it had a
59:00
big. So I
59:02
had that sign. My wife had
59:04
one that said resist the young boy
59:06
who came with us. had one
59:08
that I think said everyone deserves human
59:10
rights and he had written it
59:12
out and so we taped it for
59:14
him and stuff. And then
59:16
we went down and heard Speaker Speak and
59:18
they spoke in Daily Square and it was
59:20
a fucking huge crowd, man. It was big.
59:23
It was so big that we moved out
59:25
to the street. And we just did a
59:27
circle down in the loop, right? So it
59:29
was just a big circle where you walk
59:31
into the loop. And when we're walking, we
59:33
were walking along and we weren't the first
59:35
group to get out into the street, right?
59:37
We weren't early to get out in the
59:39
street. It was a huge plaza. We were
59:41
kind of up by the speakers. So it
59:43
was like an hour of people talking and
59:45
they were all, you know, talking about different
59:47
things like, you know, come next week to
59:49
this other rally. I'm an immigrant. I'm, you
59:51
know, this other people were like pro -Palestine.
59:53
So there were some pro -Palestine speakers there. And
59:55
then We all get to leave. Well, we
59:58
were by the speaker's area. So we were
1:00:00
kind of right by the front. So
1:00:02
it took us a while to get out to
1:00:04
the street. So we get out to the street
1:00:06
and there's still a whole crowd of people behind
1:00:08
us, like a giant crowd. And we start marching.
1:00:10
And as we're marching, my wife looks over and
1:00:12
goes, look at the crowds over there. So it
1:00:14
had gone all the way up the street, turned
1:00:17
around and come all the way back. And it
1:00:19
was, you could see it, which is like huge,
1:00:21
big crowd of people. Like there
1:00:23
was people drumming, we're walking down the street and what
1:00:25
I got a chance to see was just a ton
1:00:27
of people just talking to each other, right? I had
1:00:29
a guy come up to me. I stand in there
1:00:31
with my wife and I had the, you know, a
1:00:33
bunch of people came by, can I take a picture
1:00:35
your sign, can I take picture your sign? Cause Moe
1:00:37
did a really nice job. I'm like, I didn't do
1:00:39
it. My wife did it. She drew a nice guillotine
1:00:41
on it. I assume she made it. It's actually really
1:00:43
cool sign she did for me. So she did the
1:00:45
sign and then she, and she did it with all
1:00:47
the markers and stuff. And it's a big guillotine. She
1:00:50
drew blood on it and stuff. And then she drew
1:00:52
like in block letters, the letters. And whenever anybody saw
1:00:54
it, they're like, can I get a picture of that?
1:00:56
And so I had a bunch of people coming up
1:00:58
and taking pictures of it. And then I had this
1:01:00
one fella come up to me and he had like
1:01:02
15 cameras on him. He's got like so many cameras
1:01:04
and he's walking around and he's like, would you mind
1:01:06
if I took your picture? I said, no, not at
1:01:08
all. And so he took my picture and he's taken,
1:01:10
he's like, are you with her? And I said, yeah.
1:01:12
And so we stood together and he took a picture
1:01:14
and then he comes over and he talks and he's
1:01:16
in it. Got a really deep sort of a thick
1:01:18
Scottish accent. And he says, I'm from Scotland. I
1:01:21
flew over here and I went to the
1:01:23
protest last week and I stayed so I
1:01:25
could go to these ones too. And I'm
1:01:28
just taking pictures and sort of documenting. He's
1:01:30
like, I just want to let you know,
1:01:32
like, like, you know, like I pretty much
1:01:34
everybody in Scotland stands with you. He's like
1:01:36
this. And it was just like
1:01:38
a cool feeling of solidarity in that. And I got
1:01:40
a chance to talk to a couple of other
1:01:42
people and then I could see other people networking and
1:01:44
talking about like, oh, we do this here and
1:01:46
we do this. And so there's just like this awesome,
1:01:48
like, like neat thing
1:01:50
where You have a
1:01:52
thing in common so now you have a reason
1:01:54
to talk to somebody sure and anybody can
1:01:57
talk to anybody in that crowd And so now
1:01:59
you get a chance to meet people and
1:02:01
there's like a that's a cool energy and it
1:02:03
was and it was awesome and people were
1:02:05
really excited about it and You know like the
1:02:07
the concept was like joy as an act
1:02:09
of protest and so that was the that was
1:02:11
the the name of the of the protest
1:02:13
that we went to but it was great and
1:02:15
it was and there was a bunch of
1:02:18
speakers there and so you get a chance to
1:02:20
hear what they had to say. A lot
1:02:22
of them were just sort of rah -rah, but
1:02:24
there was a trans man who spoke, who was
1:02:26
really very moving talking about all the difficulties
1:02:28
that they're now running into. There was a pro
1:02:30
-Palestine person there who was talking about the issues
1:02:32
that are still going on in Palestine. There
1:02:35
was immigration. There was a guy who was
1:02:37
talking about how he's an immigrant and all
1:02:39
the people he knows are immigrants, and they
1:02:41
were the ones who were expendable during COVID.
1:02:43
And now they're expendable now. It's just like
1:02:45
a cool, like, and it's just like a
1:02:47
bunch of stuff to remind you why you're
1:02:49
there. It was awesome, man. I can't, I
1:02:51
can't say enough about it. I thought it
1:02:53
was amazing. And I put this in there
1:02:55
so I would remind myself to tell you
1:02:58
about it. I saw this because I remember
1:03:00
our conversation the other day where I, I
1:03:02
had taken a pretty dim view. Yeah. And
1:03:04
I think, I think what I saw when
1:03:06
I saw people respond They were
1:03:08
kind of split down the middle. Some people thought,
1:03:10
you know, yeah, it's still a good thing.
1:03:12
Other people were like, yeah, I totally see Tom's
1:03:14
point that it's not really. But I think
1:03:16
I'm wrong. Yeah. Like here's the thing. I think
1:03:18
I was wrong. I think like there's no
1:03:21
value to cynicism. And I have to remind myself
1:03:23
of that from time to time. Like a
1:03:25
cynicism doesn't accomplish anything. It's an easy retreat. Right?
1:03:27
I think, I think very often people
1:03:29
will retreat into cynicism because it's self
1:03:32
protective. It's easy. It's a defense mechanism.
1:03:34
And I get it. And I'm actually
1:03:36
not shitting on people that need to
1:03:38
protect their peace. And I think too,
1:03:40
like, like we suggested too is like,
1:03:42
you got to have enough. Energy
1:03:44
in yourself to do it right and if you
1:03:46
don't and you think like I'm just using as
1:03:48
much energy as I can to just get by
1:03:50
then just get by right like Nobody's asking you
1:03:52
to go above and beyond on anything right, but
1:03:54
if you can and you think that it's gonna
1:03:56
be a while do it You know like be
1:03:58
there that's okay like and I do think there
1:04:00
is a positivity to it. I was I'm actually
1:04:02
really happy I did it Um, you know, was a
1:04:04
whole day outing and we drove to Chicago because
1:04:06
I didn't know where any other one was, but
1:04:09
there was a ton of people there. And so
1:04:11
it was super exciting. And I'm glad I, I put
1:04:13
that in the notes very specifically, just so I
1:04:15
would remember to talk about it, just so I
1:04:17
can remember to tell people I was there at
1:04:19
this last one. And I, the next
1:04:21
few that come up, if I can clear my
1:04:23
calendar, I'll be there because there's, there's, there's
1:04:25
every reason to show up. Um, you know, like
1:04:27
you got it. And I think that the
1:04:29
bigger numbers, those big numbers, that shows. There's so
1:04:31
many people that are on the right side.
1:04:34
They're on the right side of history on this.
1:04:36
At least it doesn't make you feel like
1:04:38
the only crazy person. Yeah, right? Okay.
1:05:09
We got to play this. This is a, this is
1:05:11
a, this is one of the playing ones, Tom.
1:05:14
So. Yeah. This is from people
1:05:16
for formerly right -wing watch. William
1:05:18
Wolf says Christians want to see mass deportations.
1:05:20
Isn't that great? Well, at least we're saying
1:05:22
it out loud. Yeah. So let's put this
1:05:24
on the big screen for watch. What
1:05:28
catches everybody eye everybody's eyes are
1:05:30
the pictures whether it's the group of
1:05:32
us praying with Trump or you know
1:05:34
I posted my individual picture with Trump
1:05:36
Which that was wonderful But the the
1:05:38
the most important thing I did that
1:05:41
day on the White House campus was
1:05:43
this roundtable discussion with other faith leaders
1:05:45
with the White House faith office where
1:05:47
we got to actually talk about
1:05:49
and advocate for policy that matters for
1:05:51
this country and for Christians. a
1:05:54
behind the scenes thing. We're not
1:05:56
going to be posting pictures of that.
1:05:58
I'm not at liberty to say
1:06:00
what other people talked about. But, you
1:06:02
know, one of the things I
1:06:04
did in that meeting, Aaron, I think
1:06:06
this is really sort of important
1:06:08
different posture that CBL brings is I
1:06:10
told the White House faith office,
1:06:12
I think Christians want to see mass
1:06:14
deportations. You'll see a lot of
1:06:17
sort of evangelical organizations attacking Trump's immigration.
1:06:19
policies and priorities. They're astroturf. They're
1:06:21
left leaning. They're using evangelical in a
1:06:23
way that is not really historically
1:06:25
accurate. But I'm telling you, I think
1:06:27
Southern Baptists and Christians want to see this
1:06:29
happen. And so the work of CBL is giving
1:06:31
me the opportunity to do things like that.
1:06:33
And that makes much more of a difference, I
1:06:35
hope, in the long run than even a
1:06:37
picture with the president. I
1:06:39
don't disagree with him at all. Yeah. He's
1:06:41
right. He's right. Yeah. He's right. He's 100
1:06:44
% right. I want to show you. a
1:06:46
bunch of racist Southern Baptists are like fucking
1:06:48
happy to see that. Absolutely. Of course. This
1:06:50
guy here on the left. Yeah. Is
1:06:53
he related to the other bald guy
1:06:55
who interviews people? Oh, the blob fish
1:06:57
guy. Is he related to that guy?
1:06:59
Or is that just their style that
1:07:01
they need a guy who looks like
1:07:03
Lex Luthor with glasses? Are we sure
1:07:05
this isn't just like a different larval
1:07:08
form of the same guy? I'm not
1:07:10
sure that I'm not sure that at
1:07:12
all. I have no idea. I just,
1:07:14
I, it just, it just struck me
1:07:16
that he has the same style. He
1:07:18
has like literally the exact stuff. been
1:07:20
getting to wonder if maybe this isn't
1:07:22
just like the pupae stage of the
1:07:24
same life form. That weird blob man.
1:07:26
Yeah, sure. Yeah. It's a death head
1:07:28
moth. That's right. Yeah. He's like, he's
1:07:30
just, he's just emerged from his chrysalis
1:07:32
recently and like sloughed off his transformation
1:07:34
jelly or whatever. This
1:07:37
is, this is a hundred percent
1:07:40
though. Exactly what you would expect from
1:07:42
a group of people who put
1:07:44
Trump in office Oh, yeah, and they're
1:07:46
gonna use their their religion to
1:07:48
get that word out to the
1:07:50
rest of those people To show them
1:07:52
that that's this is this is
1:07:55
what you do if you're a good
1:07:57
Christian This is what you do
1:07:59
if you're a good southern Baptist. You're
1:08:01
okay with us Mass deporting people
1:08:03
from the United States now understand so
1:08:05
far Trump has been putting out
1:08:08
fewer people than other administrations, right?
1:08:10
So fewer people have been sent away
1:08:12
than other administrations. And there have
1:08:14
been way more snafus and way more
1:08:16
people that have been deported wrongly
1:08:18
or sent away wrongly than in this
1:08:20
administration than we've seen before. So
1:08:23
understand they were better at
1:08:25
it in other places. What
1:08:27
they don't care about mass deportations,
1:08:29
they care about the fear that
1:08:31
mass deportations causes. That's
1:08:33
what they want. They don't care
1:08:36
about whether or not these people
1:08:38
leave. They just want them to
1:08:40
be afraid and know who's in
1:08:42
charge. That's what they want. Yeah.
1:08:44
Well, because they want, they understand
1:08:46
that a highly visible cruelty will
1:08:48
accomplish a deterrent effect. which I
1:08:50
think is actually happening on the
1:08:52
southern border. There are a lot
1:08:54
less people coming over because of
1:08:56
course the more cruel and inhospitable
1:08:59
you make your country. You want
1:09:01
to wind up in El Salvador?
1:09:03
Yeah. Yeah. So like no shit
1:09:05
that that's working, right? I also
1:09:07
think it's worth pointing out too
1:09:09
that just another reminder that it
1:09:11
is at this point a meaningless
1:09:13
distinction to draw a distinction between
1:09:15
American evangelical Christian and white Christian
1:09:17
nationalism. Yeah. There is no meaningful
1:09:19
distinction. They are the same thing. The
1:09:22
religion of American Christianity has
1:09:24
become its own sect, its
1:09:26
own cult, its own whatever
1:09:28
you want to call it. It's
1:09:31
got its own tenets. It's
1:09:33
got its own faith traditions.
1:09:35
It's got all of its own
1:09:37
belief systems that are separate
1:09:39
and distinct from any other
1:09:41
forms of Christianity. American, whatever
1:09:44
we want to call
1:09:46
it, some kind of American
1:09:48
Christian nationalism is white
1:09:50
Christian nationalism. They're the same
1:09:52
thing. So these guys
1:09:54
are just trying to take
1:09:56
that Brand it slightly
1:09:58
differently and then you know
1:10:00
sell it large. Yeah
1:10:02
All right, that's gonna wrap
1:10:04
it up for this
1:10:06
week We'll be back on
