And then they scare monger about how much money the tech giants can throw at elections over the credits of the citizens united presents ah yeah
Starting point is 00:00:29 right the whole time uh... corporate uh... corporate yeah corporate they're like it's not that billionaires are buying the elections it's that the wrong bill
Starting point is 00:00:40 yeah really yeah the front of this movie might as well start eating the ass of the back of this movie. Ha ha ha! Not awful! Movie! Movie!
Starting point is 00:00:55 Movie! Welcome back to the Gamcast where each week. We sample another selection from Christian cinema because the ancient prophecy was weirdly specific. I'm your host, Noah Luzon since sitting 700 most of my immediate leftism, a good friend, Heath and right, Heath, welcome back. Republicans are so stupid. They sure are. And it's sad. Have we get to watch and be so sad? Best. And sitting 900 most of my northeast is my bad friend Eli Bosnick. Eli, how are you this fine afternoon, sir? If we weren't measuring who won the race,
Starting point is 00:01:30 I won the race. Hell yeah, man. That's a good point. That's right. That's in a pot. You got to decide when it ended. This is a documentary, everybody. Sure is.
Starting point is 00:01:40 But before we get to that, we're also excited to welcome back actor, writer, video essayist, and special guest mask guest to Maggie Mayfish Maggie welcome back. Oh, hello. It's been too long since we had John. I, I, I get why I remember the movie. I love wait. Cyphera is a chipperosetti film that we put you through last time.
Starting point is 00:02:00 So I get why you, that's right. You learned about grams. Yeah. I'll never forget. I think you know what they say, never forget grams. But it turns out that films can be worse, speaking of which, tell us he what will we be breaking down today? We watched rigged the Zuckerberg funded plot to defeat Donald Trump. That's the real title.
Starting point is 00:02:26 It's a movie about how we need to get money out of politics made by citizens united. Yes, it's irony died and we went to irony hell. It's weird. It's like a heroin commercial by the Sackler family. It's the news. We need to get cheese out of food from the Cheetos company. And Eli, how bad was this movie? Well, if you're last excused about your dog eating your homework, turned out to be a federal
Starting point is 00:02:58 crime and you're hoping you can scrape those goal posts back another 50 yards or so without anyone noticing, you will love this movie. All right. Well said, and Maggie, you know, I don't know too much about your politics, but how convincing was this movie? Well, you know, as I was watching, I was like, you know what, Maggie, you're a pretty like goalable person. So like, yeah, you know, just like see if, you know, I was not myself would I be swayed by this? And actually, there are points where I was like, yeah, if I didn't know anything, maybe this would sway me.
Starting point is 00:03:39 But then three sentence later, it would completely ruin any progress that it had made. They had a bad habit of going and yes, that last thing we said was a lie, but they do. Continually contradicting themselves and like offering contradictory evidence. Yeah. Well, we'll get into it, but yeah, it was pretty wild. Well, yeah, even contradictory claims at certain points. Yeah. Oh, God, I honestly, for a second, I thought to myself, okay, what if Maggie is like, well, the votes in Maricopa County, if you really look at it, I mean, I can't
Starting point is 00:04:15 have a podcast. Oh, my God, I just went out like, yeah. Oh, no, we can't do the pot. iTunes is closed for Passover. So sorry. All right. So is there anything you guys want to nominate this one for being the best at being the worst at?
Starting point is 00:04:32 Yeah. I'm going to go with best worst pop scares or attempted pop scares. So throughout this movie, they're trying to make their stupid fucking point. And they keep saying things that are just obvious and completely benign just things we know are real and happened. Like some people on the other team spent money and helped get an election to happen. And then, yeah, and then they'll do some stupid pop scare noise like that. And by the end of the movie, they keep doing it. And by the end of the movie, whoever's in charge of like doing the pop scare effects and filters
Starting point is 00:05:03 and whatever is just kind of like sad and tired of it and they're like, I don't know, do I do pop scare? The existence of the state of Arizona black person. Do I do I do a pop scare for a black person? Mark Zuckerberg's dead eyes. That's pretty scary. Okay, yeah, that's actually the best they ever do. So I was going to go with, and we had kind of already touched on this, best worst own goal celebrations. Right, like over and over again, the talking heads in this movie will accidentally disprove their own point, not realize it and take a victory lap. Yeah, oh absolutely.
Starting point is 00:05:38 We'll point it out as it happens. I'm gonna go with best worst scripted Donald Trump love. Yes. I'm going to go with best worst scripted Donald Trump lobby. So for context, and this is very, very important to my emotional connection to this movie, we learned about this movie because Donald Trump had a screening of it at Mar-a-Laga or wherever he's holed up these days, which makes it even sadder because there are these interviews interspersed throughout the movie where citizens United like you know poured him into whatever chair would hold him at this point, shot Diet Coke directly into
Starting point is 00:06:10 his Cartaroid artery and they were like, say the words rigged and he was like, man goes the masterful ed, it's like Star Wars in the masterful editing being done to get him through a single unswetty Unfominant sentence And now you did you have a best worst? Oh, yeah, you know, I mean being a video essayist I think I wanted to nominate it for best words video essay It was just so clearly they were trying to make an argument, I guess, but as you pointed out, just would continually contradict themselves, oh, within the same sentence, and then it would end at a musical sting and then they'd cheer.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Yeah. And you would be left there going like, wait, what? What did you have evidence? Did you? Oh, all right. Moving on. No, you dumb dumb. No, there's no evidence.
Starting point is 00:07:03 We're done with that point now. Moving on. Idea. done with that point now. Moving on. Idea. It's just an idea. It's just a whole movie. Like here's just an idea. What? Daring the jar asshole.
Starting point is 00:07:12 We're keep rolling. Keep rolling. Who gave the Twitter trolls a camera? Yeah. All right. Well, tell you what, this will be required about eight minutes of debunking for every minute of watching. So I'm going to take a minute to organize the 346 tabs
Starting point is 00:07:25 I have open at the moment, but we'll be back in a flash with all the demonstrable bullshit of. Rigged. And honestly, it's a compliment in his mind. Brim to scratch his name in my car. That is what I'm saying, yes. Okay. Guys, guys.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Hey, Eli, what's up? I was just looking up the symptoms of stress and listen to this headaches, teeth grinding and even digestive issues. Mm-hmm, yeah, right. Doom scrolling, sleeping too little, sleeping too much, under-eating and overeating. Yeah, Eli, those are all symptoms of stress. What's your point? I might be stress. What? Right? Like, what if I am stressed? How long until better help takes me out? What's better help? Better help is customized online therapy that offers video,
Starting point is 00:08:12 phone, and even live chat sessions with your therapist. So you don't have to see anyone on camera if you don't want to. It's affordable. They have financial aid available and their licensed professional therapists have a wide variety of experience available. So if you need someone who's LGBTQ friendly or secular, they can help you with that. Well, that does sound pretty great. It is. Plus, God off the movies, listeners, get 10% off their first month at betterhelp.com slash awful. That's BETTRHELB.com slash awful. All right. Well, either way, Ely, I think you may be stressed, slash awful. All right. Well, either way, you lay, I think you may be stressed, not be stressed, like
Starting point is 00:08:47 the mental phenomenon. You know what's a good way to tell? What's that? Scratching up each car again. Damn it. Yeah, I should've seen that coming. Maggie, thanks so much for going to be on the show again. No problem, guys.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Happy to do it. Right. So this is a little bit awkward, but this episode is actually the start of our matrion drive. And we were wondering if you wouldn't mind helping us plug it here in the beginning of the show. What is matrion? Does that count as a point? I don't think that's count as point. It's not now. It's not now. Sorry. Point. Honestly, just it's best to ignore them. So matrion is the pledge drive that we do for ourselves once a year. We try not to be too heavy handed with our Patreon asks. So, once a year, we lay it on extra thick.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Yeah. Plus, we have fun goals. People can hit for us to do funny stuff at our pajamas party when we all get together in July. Oh, guys, this is really wholesome. Sure. I'm happy to help. Awesome. Super duper appreciated. Just, you're the orange lines right there in the description. Oh, that's orange. That looks okay. Are you calling blinds? Never mind. Yeah, it's it's it's like a yellow. That's you though. Cool. So I got it. Hi, I'm Ethan Wright. And as you may have guessed, it's that special time of year. When we ask you our podcast listeners to consider supporting our show on Patreon. For as little as a dollar show, you get bonus content, commercials at the end, RSS feed,
Starting point is 00:10:08 you can play on any podcast player and all sorts of perks at higher levels. And if you don't pledge, I'll kill my cats. Wait, got no, I'm not going to kill my cats. It's a wholesome fundraiser. You just said you said fundra fundraiser Maggie fundraiser. But that's not all head over to matrion.com. And you can see all the fun goals we've set up like a live magic show for me. A vegan snack tasting and I'll release the never before. So what did I have of the Kennedy assassination?
Starting point is 00:10:38 How did you guys find out about that? I have a top. You said you would help. Okay. You said you would help. So once again, that's matrion.com to find out more. Are we like? Are we good enough friends for the sketch to play? This is only the second time that we've actually hung out or talked or spoken. So yes, I heard yes. Yeah. And we're back for the breakdown.
Starting point is 00:11:04 We're going to open up realizing again that we're in irony hell when we see the words citizens united productions. Yes, that citizens united. And speaking of irony, hell, the opening line, it's Kellyanne Conway saying the Trump 2016 campaign was dated driven. It was all based on a promise to build an impossible wall with some other country's money. You fucking idiot. No, it wasn't. I genuinely don't know because I don't interact with the right except for when they're like telling me to kill myself on Twitter. Do the right take Kelly and Conway seriously? The woman who gave us the line alternative facts. Oh, she's amongst the best they have. Oh, God. Yeah, that is true. Ah, she's she's amongst the best the hat. Oh God. Yeah, that is true. Ah, she was their big data person. Yeah
Starting point is 00:11:48 She's not she's not a alternative data. Kelly and Conway looks like she's faking having cancer I don't know exactly what that means, but that's what she looks like. She's a spirit of someone doing it too, you know Exactly. Yeah, I also love she's trying to say like, you know, exactly. I also love that she's trying to say, like, you know, we were the outsiders or whatever, but the the word that she lands on is we were the insurgents. Yeah. I'm like, well, eventually sure. Yeah. And she tries to use military terms a few other times. She says, we were outflanking them on Facebook. And I was like, all right, relax, Hannibal. You were doing Facebook as you were copying Barack Obama's thing. You didn't invent any of this. Calm down.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Oh, she knows her audience. She knows exactly who she's talking to in this Citizens United documentary. A lot of people doing dive roles and really excited about the military tactics she was mentioning. Yeah. And she mentions Obama. She's like, yeah, we were just like the Obama campaign. And then you see your panic for a second. She's like, but white, but white. I mean, but white. Yeah, they're like, we ran way more ads on Facebook. And I'm like, yeah, they ran more ads all together.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Old people are on Facebook and you were running ads for old people. That's not, that's not a thing to brag about. That's just how that shakes out. Also, like federally, the conversation was about how a bunch of your ads that you read on Facebook were like Russian propaganda aimed at people who showed signs of early onset dementia. And then, of course, we have to go back to 2016 and watch the night that Hillary lost again because they, you know, they love to live in that moment. Say, like, remember the time that we won anything?
Starting point is 00:13:32 Yes. Remember that? Yeah. This was, this was honestly like triggering to me. Like truly. I was so sad that day. And it, oh my god. You know, do you remember we went to that party to like watch Hillary win?
Starting point is 00:13:44 It was going gonna be great. And then the worst possible thing happened and we had to drive away knowing what had happened. And we're driving away. And Eli says in the car he's like, really glad my dad wasn't alive to see this. Yes. So glad.
Starting point is 00:13:59 I wish my dad was dead. Yeah. We didn't do that. And more importantly, in a house full of ceremonial spears and swords, we almost brought no illusions to the head party. So we might not have made it out alive from that. Spears would have been thrown. Yeah, right. I feel like spears would have been thrown. Yeah. I mean, all I'll say is the next day was like a dream and like realizing that it actually happened. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:26 That was just, it was a wild in the bad way. Yeah, a whole bad wild for sure. Bad wild. And speaking of bad wild. Yeah. Great transition. And oh, yeah. And so this is where we see how bad Newt Gingrich is looking these days.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Nice. Yeah. He looks like he's not faking having cancer. I look, I will say there's not a lot of bright sides to this movie for me before, but the fact that Newt Gingrich looks like he's wearing a Newt Gingrich costume that's too big for him is a silver lining. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Well, it is so funny. Again, they have what he apparently thinks is a gotcha as long as you don't have context. I guess where he says, well, you know, on the day the Trump was inaugurated, the WAPO ran an article about impeaching him. And I'm just like, well, right because he had already committed high crimes and missed him. That's not an argument on your side, newt. Probably don't bring that up. And, um, but you know, you know what? He cushions the the blow there and he's like, well, okay, to be clear, Trump's awesome, just like Andrew Jackson.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Yes, and the whole movie pauses and is like, oh, that you're doing that again. You want to do a different president? Maybe no, that was a Peary. Wasn't GenoSidal? It's actually worse than Trump is awesome like Andrew Jackson. He says they did the same thing to him. And Jackson, which for clarity, they tried to impeach Andrew Jackson for genocide.
Starting point is 00:15:52 No, they actually didn't, but yeah. So and then we hear from their black friend, I guess, Ken Blackwell. He's the chairman of the Center for Election Integrity, which you can apparently say without getting struck by lightning at the America First Policy Institute. Yeah, yeah, it was wrong with that sentence. It makes doodle sense. Yeah, the Center for No Backsees at Nazi Ike. And he says, like, well, you know, one thing we know about the tech giants there is they have a political leaning and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:16:29 well, everyone, that's like saying we know they have a favorite color. Is that supposed to be ominous? Do you like a jump scare now? Do you want this to sting? Big green is coming for the election. But they have nothing to say here. So they just fall back and they keep doing this. They fall back on like, okay, remember when we won that election in 2016, we, we were the, we were the best. From the highlights reel again.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Yeah, seriously, so far this movie is, it's like the movie of scoring four touchdowns in one game in high school. That one, yeah, that's the movie. I was going to say they're walking us through their trophy room and touching our arm too much the documentary. Yeah, and so I love to that like Newt Gingrich has to try to make the argument that all the tech billionaires are stupid Which I was honestly okay look that can be true if you wanted to but not from a Republican This is all a meritocracy. They deserve those billions of dollars. Perspect
Starting point is 00:17:24 This is all a meritocracy. They deserve those billions of dollars. Perspect. Right. It was actually fun. You know, just like a fun little self-google anytime they would say anything that like, yeah, like I actually totally agree with what you just said, not for right why you said it or why you think you said it, but just a little a rich and crossy aisle. Yeah, fun little internal drinking game. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So do you think you're making, you know what? Just please, please continue your thoughts. Keep saying stuff. This is going. Yeah, because there's this wonderful thing Gingrich is trying to do where he's like, I know what you're thinking. Those tech people, they're smart with the computers, right? You don't have, they don't have to put a post at note on their
Starting point is 00:17:58 computer where they have to click for save. But don't worry. That's the, the, the common everyday, dust in your hand, milk, cow patriotism smart. That's all you people watching this movie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so, but they're trying to make this argument that after Trump won the first election, the Democrats came for social media and tried to strangle literally that the term he uses tried to strangle Trump. And I'm like, they choke off misinformation. Right. Right. So like, you just accidentally admitted that Trump is inseparable from misinformation and
Starting point is 00:18:37 you're right. Yeah. Whoops. Please continue your thought again, guys. I love this. Yeah. Again, I agree. I love this. Yeah. Again, I agree. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Continue, Senator. Yeah. They do like a rapid fire series of shots from the Zuckerberg hearings, but the Zuckerberg hearings were about Russian interference in the election. Yeah. Not like we're mad. We lost. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Well, if you had nothing to go on, but this documentary, you would never know that. Also, there's this great moment, this is the first time we hear from Trump himself, right where Trump comes in and he's just like very upset, he's very visibly upset that Mark Zuckerberg had a very nice dinner with him and still doesn't like him. I thought you were really funny. So I thought we were buddies, we had a,
Starting point is 00:19:20 I gave him dessert and everything. Where's that Rashomonomon, Trump's perspective, Mark Zuckerberg, Stan Eiffel, is there person for me? I can't. We both like ketchup? He's a very nice man. All right, so apparently that was all teas or stuff
Starting point is 00:19:36 because this is where we get the title screen proper. Citizens United presents and all of that. And then they scare Manga about how much money the tech giants can throw at elections Over the credits of the citizens united presents They're like it's not that billionaires are buying the elections. It's the wrong bill They're like, it's not that billionaires are buying the elections. It's the wrong bill. Yeah, really? Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:20:06 So the front of this movie might as well start eating the ass of the back of this movie. There's literally a point where they go, the people are going to hate when they find out that elections are being run by rich people. And I was like, really, citizens united. Really? Indeed. Well, I had to write this whole quote out so that this is what the lady says during the credits quote these tech moguls really want to use their
Starting point is 00:20:30 hundreds of billions of dollars to release way elections i think the american people are not gonna like this i think having these incredibly rich people take over our election and influence the outcomes in this way is really a boranant. Really? And cool. Really? No, a reminder, so we said that again, one more time. Citizens United, citizens United. Just to remind anybody, maybe we have international listeners who don't know, citizens, you know, that is arguably the worst Supreme Court decision we've ever had. It allowed unlimited dark money in the form of super PACs to fund American elections at any amount billionaires can buy elections because of it.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Yeah. That's what that is. Yeah. Right. So naturally, they're against it. Suddenly, yeah. Yeah. I think that you really dated this episode though. I have a sneaking suspicion.
Starting point is 00:21:16 That's not going to be even in the top 10 worst Supreme Court decisions this time next year. But yeah, that makes sense. It's like if I made a documentary about how much I hated my toddler. So there's another talking head that comes in and they're like, well, they stole the election fair and square. They changed the voting rules in the middle of the game. And I'm like, you got, are you going to accuse the Democrats of being the Republicans next? Are you just going to switch colors on your fucking uniforms? What's on a Hillary Clinton mask? I'm Hillary Clinton now.
Starting point is 00:21:51 You go to jail, you. One little detail when they're trying to like make out these tech people to be super evil, they show code happening on the screen like. Yeah, it makes that evil cursor code typing noise. They're like, I want that. Can you get that? Like I want my typing to make the evil cursor noise. Oh, yeah, I'm sure that's probably.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Yeah, we'll figure it out. So, okay, so now we meet our narrator who's going to lay down the basics. This is David Bossy and he's going to start with this conundrum. More people voted for Trump in 2020 than in 2016, but he's still lost. That's impossible. Yeah, that's not in need of any further explanation. But more people than that voted for Biden. There, we're done, right? Sorry, You got you guys, um, real quick, you know, numbers, right? No, no, I don't. No, no, greater than as a concept.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Oh, you don't. Let's let me explain numbers to you during your documentary. It was so good. They keep doing this. I also have one note on David Bosse because I know some people like watch along with us and, you know, it's really hard to recommend that for this one. But the one thing I can say about David Bosse is they couldn't find a suit that quite fit him. So if you pay attention very closely, David Bosse is in different sizes of the same suit in between appearances.
Starting point is 00:23:19 So there's one, this first one way too tight, right? He's, they called Kott and he was like, I can't breathe and he tore it off himself like a power ranger transforming. And then the next one, it's way too big. Like they went to a big and tall store and just took whatever they could find. So again, if you're playing along at home, you can follow David Bussie's suicide violently changing. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:41 I have a question about that. Well, where is he? Because he walks onto the screen and he's like, oh, hello, and he's got his ridiculous suit on. And he's like, I'm here in this apparently empty warehouse where I'm going to tell you about internet technology. It's been like partially converted to a skating rink, I think.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Yeah. Where were they? And I think maybe that was like a really sad men's warehouse location. That's empty. I don't know. The very end of the movie sticks his fingers into bottles, warriors. Oh, I get it. It all comes together.
Starting point is 00:24:15 So yeah. And of course, they do this thing. This is what Republicans have been doing. Of course, since the election, they do this thing where they use their own bullshit as evidence that their bullshit is true, right? They're like, a lot of people think democracy is under attack and we need to take that seriously. They think that because of shit like this stupid documentary though, it's not based on
Starting point is 00:24:34 anything in reality. Well, yeah, but what is reality? But, uh, a configuration of convenient facts around me. Maggie, are you a citizen's United plan? Right. You have to tell us like being a cop. What are numbers? You were talking about that earlier.
Starting point is 00:24:54 You should tell me what numbers are. Yeah. So and this is also where the movie lays down kind of its main thesis, which is that Mark Zuckerberg spent a whole bunch of money that he said was for an election integrity, but was actually benefiting Democrats. Now, let's be super clear here. He did because election integrity benefits Democrats. Yep.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Right, like we've spent the last 20 years watching increasingly brazen efforts to take, you know, minority voters off the voter rolls to make it harder and harder for impoverished people to vote, et cetera, et cetera. So any effort to make the elections more fair is going to benefit Democrats more than Republicans at this point. Yeah. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:36 So they don't make the next math equation in their head like, oh, wait, what the hell? We got a 34 minutes to fill Stoke. Yeah. They get so close so many times in this movie to being like, and when more people vote, we lose. Got it. Sorry. Dalai back, Dalai back.
Starting point is 00:25:56 He said we need 30 minutes. It's tired. Yeah. Did they accidentally say the Electoral College is unfair during the segment too? Oh, I missed it if they did. I'm pretty sure they brought that up. And then somebody was like, that's how Trump won.
Starting point is 00:26:10 He lost the popular vote. Yeah, we're like, God. Yeah, well, the thing that they say is they're like, in 2016, he won the electoral college. But here, he lost the electoral college by a lot. And also the popular vote by a lot. That's a popular vote. Who am I making a movie for? Right.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Yeah. They don't know how numbers work. That actually, that explains a lot. Yeah, and then he's like, you know, well over the next half hour, we're gonna answer the question, what happened? And I'm like, you lost. I saved you 29 and a half minutes, bro.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Oh. But no, they put the words, what happened over a shot of like this ominous shot of Mark Zuckerberg holding a stack of hundreds. And credit where credits do they try for a lot of ominous shots, but to be fair, all photos of Mark Zuckerberg are slightly ominous. Oh, they do. It was really funny.
Starting point is 00:27:03 The selection of photos they use when they were talking about him. And man, he has a creepy looking guy. Yeah, it's pretty easy to fight those photos. It's pretty easy. I think one of them was like the one he sent out for Christmas last year. Yeah. Yeah. The idea that he is, in fact, a lizard alien just based on photos is not crazy.
Starting point is 00:27:20 I don't think it's actually true. Yeah. You look at it long enough. Yeah. He looks like he's always about to say, I guess my cover's been blown and then crack his neck and attack the protagonist. Okay. Question. Is anybody denying that Mark Zuckerberg donates to Democrats? Because that's he, like, it seems like the premise of the movie is who just said Mark Zuckerberg does and donate Democrats.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Yes, he does. And that, but nobody said that. I know. Well, that's the most fucked up thing is that their whole premise is is that he said this money was going for election integrity, but it was really going to help Democrats. It's like because of you assholes, he's allowed to give as much money to Democrats as he wants. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:28:02 There's no law that's being broken at that point they also really skip over how integral facebook was to electing trump i can't like i'll be in the beginning but it was like maybe he's just trying to not look at it like an idiot from his career yes well and they pretended that the only reason it was integral is because they were so smart with their ad buys and shit uh... i'm telling you it had nothing to do with the fact that Mark Zuckerberg ignored several Russian agents who were reported on from inside his company, and it had everything to do
Starting point is 00:28:30 with our mastery of our Etsy store. Well, okay. And so this is where they introduced the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. That's the real culprit. Now, let's be super clear. This is a 501C3, which means that it can't spend money on a on political candidates can't endorse political candidates but also it means that we can see every penny that they spend what they spent it on yeah they admit that repeatedly and because of citizens
Starting point is 00:28:58 united he didn't have to do that no he could have just made this four hundred million dollars of dark money but he didn't. Right. And by the way, the Silicon Valley Community Foundation perfect 100 grade on charity navigator. Like it's such a weird thing for them to demonize. But I love how citizens United knows their audience. So when they say 501 C3, they have to clarify. They're like, that's like a church church.
Starting point is 00:29:22 It's a charity. Yeah, it's not like a church. You have to tell us where the money goes, but it's like a church. Yeah. It's like a church with laws, you know, churches, but like laws also. It's this, you know, but this group, he'd just bite me in a 501c3, gives a money to a lot of groups that many Americans would consider partisan. And I'm like, right, but they would be wrong. Right? Because that's like, it's a, by law, like we define which groups are partisan and they can't give money to those ones. Listen, what is reality? But. And the labels they ascribe to the organizations here. So they have a list of like liberal organizations. And for the ACLU, they called it mass immigration.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Oh, yeah. All the different sins of the various groups. To be clear, the reason why they're associating mass immigration with the ACLU is because at the time they were making this, the ACLU was the ones who were suing them for putting babies and cages. And they were like, yeah, absolutely. These guys just love open borders am I right? Well for losing that wasn't even like I was even worse it was for losing the babies they'd
Starting point is 00:30:30 cageed. Oh and this is also this is the first time we have to look at Ted Cruz. Yeah. You know how like sometimes you buy a fruit and you'll forget you bought that fruit and shit against that. Like that's way, he's the human version of the, oh my God, I set those chips on top of that orange months ago, right? Very much so there's a beautiful thing and we caught him right in the golden zone of it. Ted Cruz went for a werewolf beard for like two months in 2020. You know, when he was going through his darkest hours and we're watching him give up on that beer throughout the filming of his documentary. He might as well be actively shaving it while they interview him, just like, yep, voting
Starting point is 00:31:16 is bad. We're just ripping it out in clumps. Yeah. So and also fucking Ted Cruz, I'm convinced is the door knocker that can only tell lies from labyrinth, right? Like every single thing he said was misleading at best. It's like Ted Cruz because Ted Cruz knows he's lying, which is always fun. They interview a lot of people in this movie, including hometown favorite Claudia Tenney.
Starting point is 00:31:41 We'll get to it. But they interview a lot of people who I genuinely believe have no idea what they're saying, right? Like their mouth is moving, they were given a script. But Ted Cruz is like trying not to be fall for some kind of trapdoor. It's trying to appease the king. Yeah. Well, at one point, he says nobody else ever spent $400 million the way Mark Zuckerberg did in that election. Nobody's ever done that before. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:10 First of all, I'm sure they have. We just don't know because it was a dark money. Super pack. Yeah. But what we do know is the Koch brothers, Maggie, you brought them up. You should keep bringing them up. The Koch brothers offered $889 million leading up to the 2016 election. But when Trump got nominated, they're like, no, the next we get a better one next time, hopefully. Well, and also, let's not
Starting point is 00:32:35 forget the historical context of this. The Trump administration was actively trying to dismantle the post office of voting couldn't work. Right. And tech billionaires came in and they're like, well, fuck, we have to at least do something about that, right? That's where most of this money went to things to counteract shit like that. And the news points out, like, because they play a news clip to try to back themselves up. And the news points out that Zuckerberg's donations went
Starting point is 00:33:00 to like train poll workers and provide accurate information. And again, I'm, yeah, that disadvantage is Trump, but not an argument for you guys's side. Yeah. At this point, they might as well be saying, if my audience gets bigger than mommy and daddy, people start to boo. Did it also seem like they were just kind of generally mad that like they, they were the party for evil rich people. And now that switched in there. Like now they're what the fuck now.
Starting point is 00:33:27 So people are in the team. That's that, that's our thing. That's ours. Right. Yeah. No, that's it. That's honestly, you just summed up the entire fucking movie. Our culture is not your costume marks. Yeah. Right. Evil rich people culture of appropriation. Living is problem. Yeah. All right. Well, I'll tell you what, I think they just bemoan the fact that an informed electric advantages their opponent. So we need a minute to question what the
Starting point is 00:33:53 hell we're even doing here. But when we come back, there will be even more rigged flowers. But come on, chocolate? Two stereotypical. Hey guys, whatcha doing? We're trying to think of what to get our moms for Mother's Day. Yeah, all the usual gifts just feel too impersonal, you know? Ooh, why not get a repair of Raycon Wireless Earbuds? What are Raycon Wireless Earbuds?
Starting point is 00:34:19 Raycon Wireless Earbuds are a must have for supermoms. All those masters multitasking need to keep their hands free. With Raycons, they can stay entertained listening to their favorite podcast or music, plus take phone calls with vivid voice technology all hands free. I don't know, Heath. My mom's not super... Tanks, Abby. That's okay, and it's hands free.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Raycons are user-friendly for those moms who are just switching to wireless earbuds for the first time. Easy to set up, easy to views, and seamless Bluetooth pairing included. Plus, they come in a bunch of fun color options so you can find mom a color that suits her personality and style. Hey, it's got a point. Raycon sent us each a pair to try when they became a sponsor, and they were so good that Lucinda and Anna stole them. It's true. Her raycons have become Anna's go-to airline headphones. So tell mom how much you love her and make sure she hears it in crystal clear audio quality
Starting point is 00:35:07 with Raycon. Go to buyraycon.com slash gam to get 15% off your mother's day order. That's buyraycon.com slash g-a-m. Raycon! If you don't get them for your mom, you don't actually love her. Oh, that's a little much. I'm just saying. Tyler. Tyler, that's a little much. I'm saying. Tyler, Tyler, get in here big guy. Yes, Mr. X President, Trump.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Have you seen this movie? It's incredible. Sir, if you're about to show me another Peppa Pig clip. Okay, first of all, never talk about Peppa like that again. She's a personal family friend. For the last time, sir, that is Boris Johnson. Does it matter? Whatever he calls himself in public, it's up to him.
Starting point is 00:35:46 No, it's this new movie, Rigget. It's about how Mark Zuckerheim cheated by doing all the money and then he cheated the election. Sir, our story for the last year or plus has been that the election was hacked. That they're get out the vote effort worth plus people voted and you lost. That's just how elections work. That's not an excuse. It's not? No, sir.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Oh, well, I should text Sarah and Melania and tell him project, no more voting is a no-go then. Yeah, you very much should, sir. I said, give me your ID, Jerry. Give it to me. Oh, Jerry. Go. Jerry.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Oh, too late. I'll call our settlement guy. Sorry, go. Sorry. Ooh, too late. I'll call our settlement guy. Yeah, how you do that. And we're back for more of this shit and we're gonna rejoin the action with a new talking head. This one from the election integrity initiative. Do you ever think that they have to get together
Starting point is 00:36:40 and be like, all right guys, we need to mix up the words that are integrity and truthfulness and election and voting again. Like at a some point, the Republicans ever get together and like, no, we called ours the election integrity initiative. You need to call yours the initiative for election integrity. Alan, guys, the words on the page are fighting each other somehow whenever they write stuff down. Oh, yeah. And so this is another great one too. They again, they don't realize they're dunking on themselves here over and over again. They're like, you know, look at all of these
Starting point is 00:37:13 groups that were paying money to try to secure integrity in our elections. They're all connected to Obama or Hillary Clinton. Yeah, man, everybody on that side seems to be a Democrat. That's so weird. Why would, why would that be? They describe them as rapidly partisan Democrat. Rapidly, Ted Cruz, you want to make fun of someone else for being rabid with that beard? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:39 He also says these were operatives, and he's all scared. Like, like, there's murder spies working for the Democrats to secure election integrity, hop scare. Yeah. Okay. So I have a theory about this, right? Which is that citizens United can't outright say, hey guys, they didn't hack the election or stuff the ballots or do anything like that. We have to stop saying that it's a crime and some of us are getting in trouble. So they just said scary, steely spy words around the people so that grandma people at home could be like exactly operatives who hacked
Starting point is 00:38:19 into the dominion machines to make them stand all the votes to China. And they try to show it one point, the murder spy. And they just show us like a nerd in a hoodie getting an email. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, but there is very much like an effort by this documentary to be the thinking man's Mike Lindell, right? Yeah. Very much. Yeah. And also, you can really see that because they're not making any specific accusations, right? They're saying, oh, you know, all the people involved in this group that Mark Zuckerberg were funding, they're all ex-democrats. I'm like, what did they do?
Starting point is 00:38:55 Right? Are you going to accuse them of actually doing something? Are you just going to say that they kind of seem shady to you? They might as well have written this movie on next door and it like it's the big door. I saw the head of the tech initiative hanging out on my front yard and in my day. Yeah. So a Kelly and Conway shows back up and I love this too because this was Kelly and hasn't gotten the memo to stop using the whole and Biden's hiding in his Basement during the election thing because that that's bad when you lose to him right right like it like if he'd just hidden his
Starting point is 00:39:34 Basement the whole time and you still lost you're not making yourself look better anymore right but he didn't lose It didn't lose. What are you gonna understand about this, Doug Merrick? What is reality? I've been asking you. Yes. Yeah, so, and I apologize just that I don't remember what the acronym means there,
Starting point is 00:39:56 but they're talking about a group called the CTCL. Center for tech and civic life. Is that it or you just make it stuff up? No, I wrote it. Oh, okay. That's what we were gonna call ours. tech and civic life. Sad, Ed, or you just make it stuff up. No, I wrote it. We were going to call hours. Yeah. So, but that's the group that they're demonizing first and foremost. That's where all the Zuckerberg money went apparently.
Starting point is 00:40:19 And they say like, you know, the CTCL said that they were going to use this money to protect elections because of the pandemic, but really very little of that money went to buying masks. QED. It's like masks don't even demand an hourly wage at that point. At one point, he says about the CTCL. He's like the Washington Post called it the Hogwarts of digital wizardry. And you can tell that they're just letting their audience either be one scared of computers or two scared of witches. They're right.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Do they think Voldemort was the good guy in that? No fucking question. It's also it's funny to the cause they quote the New York Times about the CTCL or whatever and I'm like so okay so are we using the New York Times as a credible source now in this documentary would you like to. Oh we're playing with quoting the New York Times okay go ahead I just wanted to lose the game. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Yeah and so they throw up this graph of where the CTCL's money really went. And they keep highlighting, look how little of it went to PPE. And I'm like, but look at how none of the rest of it was like democratic operatives. Shit. It was buying equipment. It was paying for postage. It was training goal workers. Yeah. They name stuff. They accidentally list too many things that make sense that they did with that money, and they were, but they do it with like the scary tone because that's all the, right. So they're like, they started helping with COVID and facilitating the election
Starting point is 00:41:58 pianosting. Yeah. Well, so they keep showing these NPR graphs and circling the amount of money that was spent on on PPE. And they're doing it quickly so that you can't read the other categories, right? Like the lion's share of the money went to equipment. Do they think that that was partisan equipment? They do though. But they actually, yeah, they do. They must, yeah. Yeah. And then, oh,
Starting point is 00:42:26 we get one of Eli's best worse. This is the first of the real soft balls that they throw to Trump. David Bossy says, so do you, Donald Trump, think that you were cheated out of the election and we're like, wow, I wonder what he'll answer. Oh, there aren't a lot of high points in this movie, but watching Trump pretend to understand the slightly complicated sentence that is setting him up almost worth it. Almost. We're just like, yes, the, the babbados, the nebbedeba dam. He answers this. He goes, can I give you a one word answer? And I wrote my notes. I don't think you can. No, I don't believe that's within your capabilities. And then he goes, yes, without question, yes.
Starting point is 00:43:09 And I'm like, that's for fucking work. To go, let's go back to the number thing where we're going to get the test with the horse again. Yeah. I don't want to. And you said that word twice. And then we have this is this is another one of these amazing. They really hope you don't think much about this. And then we have this is another one of these amazing.
Starting point is 00:43:25 They really hope you don't think much about this. We hear from Louisiana's attorney general, Jeff Landry. So he starts talking about this investigation. He was doing it to Louisiana's elections, where Trump won. Right. Yeah. Yes, and. Yeah, right, right.
Starting point is 00:43:42 He goes, they use COVID as an excuse. And I'm like, as an excuse for what, man? You just, you know, that the sentence ends there, huh? Because again, like Eli said, they, they, they can't legally make the accusation they want to make. No, this is a good point though. We should probably flip the Louisiana results on that. Yeah, let's look into that, Jeff Ryan, tree. Oh, and also, okay, so this is where they referenced the 2005 election integrity commission that was led by Jimmy Carter and James Baker, which I had to read way more of that I really wanted to to disprove every single thing Ted Cruz said about it.
Starting point is 00:44:20 Yep. Ted Cruz is just really hoping you don't Google that thing they mentioned. Yeah. Because it's the opposite of everything he said. Yep, Ted Cruz is just really hoping you don't Google that thing they mentioned. Yeah, because it's the opposite of everything he said. It's also, as Noah mentioned, from 2005. So all their findings are like, nobody with a blackberry should be allowed inside the, the Funko Madagroom. Also, how about that Britney Spears kid, huh? Make it way.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Well, yeah, he says, well, you know, according to their report, they found that one of the biggest sources of fraud in voting were mail-in ballots. That is not at all. What they found was that there was virtually no fraud. Right. What they said was that there was a potential for fraud with mail-in ballots. So we should make these series of changes, which we made. Yeah. Right? The singular recommendation in the Carter Baker report regarding mail and ballots is, quote, the commission encourages further research on the pros and cons of vote by mail and quote, that's it. piano sting.
Starting point is 00:45:21 He meant a thing. piano sting. He's also is worth pointing out that like that 2005 commission also felt like the other part of that finding is hey voter ID laws don't work. They're just discriminatory. Yeah, well, right, but that doesn't stop Ted Cruz from immediately going. And also, why do you think these Democrats were so against photo IDs for ballots if they, you know, if they weren't trying to rig the election and I'm like, would you, would you, did you read the report? You were just saying that you read? They're talking a lot about it there.
Starting point is 00:45:52 He almost goes like, you know, I did a control F of voter ID laws and it appears 200 times. Yeah. We're playing with listening to Jimmy Carter now. Are we doing that? Yeah. You're putting in a lot of rules that you shouldn't write, put in there and they try to bring up Louisiana again and they point out that Democrats rigged Louisiana using Democrat churches. So yeah, code for.
Starting point is 00:46:21 Yeah. Yeah. I literally wrote my notes. The parishes were largely booed. I mean, Democratic. How many Maggie question? Because you know, you have an eye for film, right? We love your work on this show.
Starting point is 00:46:36 It's why we love having you on. How many takes just do you think it took for him to say the word? I think I think they have to dub it over. I don't think. Well, let's put that because this is, I think, honestly, the central lie that undergirds this whole thing, right? So they keep winning out that this money that Zuckerberg spent that was supposed to just help with election integrity way more of it went to democratic leaning counties than republican leaning counties. Now, I didn't bother to verify that. I assume that's true because democratic counties have more people in them.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, that would make sense if you had said that during the documentary. Yeah. They never point that out. They're never, they're always like, oh, but the lion share of the money went to all the democratic places. Something that's good. That's because those are the cities. Yeah. Democracy has a Democrat people by it. It has a people has a good bias. It has people more people. Right. Yeah. So yeah, the fucking counties with
Starting point is 00:47:39 the more people got more money, piano sting. Yeah. I just want to circle back. They say out loud, Democrats were hijacking Christianity to win an election. Oh, the public has set that up. Yeah. In the citizens United movie about how we get money out of politics. Yeah. Oh, God. And then we're going to narrow our focus into Wisconsin. We're going to start that by going back to Trump, whose sights, and I quote, I read somewhere
Starting point is 00:48:10 dot, dot, dot, which, first of all, no, the fuck you didn't, but secondly, where he says I read somewhere that 97% of Zuckerberg's money went to democratic areas. That's not true. No, Right? Not even fucking remotely true, but you know, he read it somewhere, so people are saying, but no, don't worry,
Starting point is 00:48:32 as long as they don't literally show a pie graph showing how untrue that is. Seconds from now. Did that pie graph fist fight its way on descent? Hahaha. Dives in front of the camera, like it's gonna take a bullet or something. Did that pygraph fist fight its way on to set Dives in front of the camera like it's gonna take a bullet or something Starts firing a gun into the air Yeah, but no that they they they point out that Zuckerberg is making it impossible for a Republican to win an election
Starting point is 00:49:07 Anywhere in this country which they they did and still do, but okay. Republicans don't know what a male stuff is that part of their narrative that like they can't male, they can't use the male. It's hard to tell. Sure. Zuckerberg wasn't sabotaging the Postal Service because that would be, that would be wrong cut cut. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Yeah. All right. So, but then another title card comes up to inform us in case we hadn't picked up on the fact that we're focused in on Wisconsin, that we're doing the Wisconsin story, right? And then again, they may, they, they get more mileage out of that same way. They have this guy who was a special counsel for the state of Wisconsin, appointed by a bunch of partisan Republicans. he keeps saying that Zuckerberg's money was primarily targeted at, quote, the five most populous democratic cities in the state.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Those are also the five most populous cities of any kind in the state. Again, my theory that he was sitting, that these people were sitting over some kind of trap door. Drop them into a shark tank if they said an outright lie. Yeah. Really being supported by this moment. Yeah, this guy even says once again, as Maggie was pointing out, he's like, well, why didn't they just give money to all the cities? And then like two sentences later, he admits that they actually did give money to all the cities.
Starting point is 00:50:24 They just give less to smaller cities because they're smaller. Yeah, but I woke up and have fewer Democrats. Right. Technically true. Is this when he talks about the mayor's offices? Yeah. This genuinely felt like he was fighting with his own voice inside his body. Cause he's like, these mayor's offices received millions of dollars to fund their elections. That is where the clerks are that run the elections.
Starting point is 00:50:59 And this is where Claudia Tene, who again is from my hometown of Binghamton, New York, and is the worst. This is where she explains that there was no medical staff, right? How can they say they care about the pandemic when they didn't have an orthopedic surgeon on? What? She said there were no doctors or virologists on the staff of their help people vote, Jeremy.
Starting point is 00:51:21 They didn't have any bus drivers, hey, there. so weird. Oh, but are you going to listen to doctors and virologists now? Is that what you're saying? We'll do if we bring those. Yeah. And also Ted Cruz comes on again. He tries to make it sound ominous that they were only willing to give money to cities that promise to make sure everybody would be able to vote. Right? Yeah. Again, piano sting. Also, this is about the 47th time somebody tries to make Zuckerbucks work.
Starting point is 00:51:52 Just give up. Give up, man. It's not. It's always fun in these documentaries to watch people floating like catch phrases. Right. Ted Cruz might as well be like, that's my ham sandwich. And like look differently. The audience.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Try to get everyone clapping. Do you want me to do a laugh track, buddy? What have you stopped? Oh, there's another great moment of them, Duncan on themselves here. They bring Ken Kuchinelli out. Now, they list Ken Kuchinelli as the national chairman of the, quote, election transparency initiative, right? That's the people's front of Judea.
Starting point is 00:52:27 But this isn't a movie about how having partisans running election transparency initiatives is evil. Yeah. Right. That's the whole idea of the movie. Okay. Did Ted Cruz call this a bait and switch at one point? Yes, he does.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Yes. How was it a bait and switch at one point? Yes, he does. Yes. How was it a bait or a switch in what ways do those words apply in his head? So what he's trying to say is that they baited it as an effort to make sure that voting would be easier for everybody, but they switched it to a democratic heavy get out the vote effort. Oh. That's the his bait and switch in his mind, right? It's like when someone says like, Hey, you know, come over and we'll have pizza and there's
Starting point is 00:53:12 an equally delicious more helpful meal instead. Right. Bait and switch. Yeah. No, but so again, that that's the underlying bullshit of the entire thing, right? More people in this country are Democrats than Republicans. Yeah. So if you increase the voter turnout just across the board, you will have done a favor
Starting point is 00:53:33 to the Democrats. Yeah. Therefore, it's a bait and switch and it's evil. Spoilers for their next documentary, which is just called, you all need to stop voting. Okay. So the bait was democracy and they switched to also democracy. Yes, yeah, exactly. The bait was white people health and the switch was people of color voting. Yeah, right. Yeah. That's what they wanted to say. And then
Starting point is 00:53:57 the narrator cuts into explain that the CTCL actually told states how to spend the money that they gave them. Okay, this was my favorite part. That we might as well interview like a teenager who wasn't allowed to buy himself a sweet gaming computer with the money. Well, and as if they're trying to undercut their own fucking point, again, a graph like fought its way onto the set and dived in front of a bullet. As they're saying this, they highlight the actual conditions they had to agree to, which read in its entirety, quote, the grant funds must be used exclusively for the public purpose of planning and operationalizing safe and secure election administration and quote, oh, sorry, piano sting and photo negative pop scare of the word safe. Might
Starting point is 00:54:51 as well have like cut to footage of like a sad election official returning a bowl, a mechanical bowl that he bought. I didn't understand the instruction. Oh, and is this where they start talking about ballot curing? Yes. And like trying to make cure a negative word as best they could. Yes, yes. So for those who aren't familiar, what ballot curing means is that if you get a ballot
Starting point is 00:55:21 where like the signature doesn't exactly match or somebody forgot to sign in the spot they're supposed to sign or whatever, you're not allowed to just throw that away. Right? You have to inform that person, hey, you know, we have a vote that appears to be yours. Is this your signature? Can you prove that to us? And if they can, you have to count the vote.
Starting point is 00:55:40 That's the thing they're trying to make sound evil. Right. And we eventually get to something similar to this happening in Georgia that helped Brian Kemp get elected. And we fixed it in a good way that they're so confused by this whole thing. Yeah. But now, of course, the argument that they're going to make is that more Democrats got their ballots cured than Republicans.
Starting point is 00:56:03 But that's again, because the more republicans but that's again because the more democrats voted that's why you guys lost but also because more democrats voted by mail and therefore had to have signatures on their shit right yeah all right so and now it's time for us to demonize a fella by the name of michael spitzer rubstein. I wonder what angle they'll go with. She's just crazy. I would just like to say, Hey, Maggie, I'm very proud of you. Maggie is the only one whose notes aren't Jew. Jew, she was Jew.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Jew with a Jew money. Jew, Jew, Jew. Oh, come on. My notes are like, I bet they call them a globalist. Yeah. Yeah. Rising above the frame, Maggie may think. Rising above the frame, Maggie may face rising above the frame. You guys are pretty well covered. So I felt like at this point, I was watching all
Starting point is 00:56:53 of our notes and at this point, I wanted to just put in a note from Maggie being like, Hey, Meg, just, you know, I am Jewish. We're all doing what they say. We're doing a bit, Maggie. Please show up on Friday. Love you, Eli. Okay, in fairness to us, they, they're, it's so overt. They're just like, oh, yeah, they want to spit, sir. Rubin the who's saying. Rubin, the, yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah. Brooklyn, they say Brooklyn. Yes. And he's not from Brooklyn. They say he's from I think Brooklyn, wink. No, he's not.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Well, it's really take a moment to pause. He's not. Yeah. Yikes. And look, look, now, look, we are at, we want to be fair. We want to be fair. Michael Spitzer, Rubensstein, pretty Jewish looking. Yeah, yep, yep.
Starting point is 00:57:42 He's got some eyebrows. Okay, he's got, and he's also got Mark Zuckerberg eyes. So I get why that, like, I feel like they were trying to lend a little bit of credence to the David Eich contingent of their audience. Yeah, yeah. But what I love most about the Rubenstein-spitzer thing is like, okay, so this is the guy
Starting point is 00:57:59 who we've hired to oversee election integrity. Listen, you can bubble the guy who's changing, Noah's cable, don't barge in at five in the morning and just fuck around with the voting machines for four hours. Please wait till he gets there because he's an expert trained on this. And the movie portrays this as like him sneaking in
Starting point is 00:58:17 in the middle of the night like damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, well, okay, I love this half of a story they tell us to, they play a news clip of some election commissioner member in, in somewhere in Wisconsin, taking issue with Michael, it's a Rubenstein being involved in the election and saying, oh, you know, he was on the floor where they were counting votes.
Starting point is 00:58:40 So no, he wasn't. It's true that someone made that an accusation. It was investigated by Green Bay City attorney. And according to the associated press, quote, Green Bay City attorney conducted a thorough investigation of the city's 2020 election and released her conclusions this week in a 19 page memo that stands in stark contrast to the Republican legislators charges. End quote. Okay. But Jewish guy had a lanyard.
Starting point is 00:59:05 I don't know where he got. They mentioned lanyard. They actually were like, he had one of those things around his neck and we had to let him do everything he wanted. He was allowed to just change stuff. To be good. What we're hearing from in this section is the people who auditioned and failed to be Marissa Corona.
Starting point is 00:59:22 Yeah, no, they even point out that he had all the keys. failed to be Marissa Corona. Yeah, no, they even point out that he had all the keys. He said, he even had all but one of the keys to the whistle. Like, I'm sure several people had keys, man. That's how you get in and out. Somebody has to have all the keys. All right. So then David Bossy shows up to fill us in on their nefarious ground operation, which again, I have to, i feel like we have to point out
Starting point is 00:59:48 that if mark zucker berghad instead decided to spend all four hundred million of these dollars directly supporting democratic candidates that would have been legal yep right but this is where they do the like why would david plough no the ways to win an election unless he was cheating? So they have him say just incredibly basic stuff for some talk he's giving out election
Starting point is 01:00:11 stuff. And then they're like, and wouldn't you know it? That's exactly what happened. Well, approximately what happened. But I love when they try to introduce them, they do the same thing that they did with Spencer, but steamnstein. They're like, David Plough. Okay, that doesn't sound Jewish, and evil. We can't be against. You probably was, though. He's probably from Brooklyn, too. They might as well, wait, we also heard he's from Brooklyn.
Starting point is 01:00:35 They might as well like use his bar mitzvah photo like David Plough, variance. Doing his Torah portion, we asked his mother. Yeah, and so, and this is, so David Plough says, basically, this is what he says, he's like, doing his Torah portion, we asked his mother. Yeah. And so, and this is, so David Plough says, basically, this is what he says, he's like, hey, so we know that from, you know, the polling and from the past performance, Trump is probably going to get, you know, X number of million votes in Wisconsin, which means that we need to get more than that number, no matter what.
Starting point is 01:01:01 And they act like that sums up, like, how could he possibly know approximately the number of votes that Trump would get, you know, using nothing but the previous election and pull numbers. David Posse runs for the room and a suit six sizes too big for him. Get out of my hand, David bluff. Get out of my hand. Yeah. I get no look. I get how like they would think that knowing things is an unfair advantage, but you guys are allowed to know things too. And of course, you know, he has to like sheepishly admit that there's no evidence that they
Starting point is 01:01:36 did anything illegal or immoral. And he's like, but questions remain. And I'm like, but that's because you're stupid. Yeah, questions always remain when you're stupid. Right. I was going to say Maggie has a YouTube comments section. She's aware that questions are making. Yeah. Oh, I does not mean that a answer is for gone.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Right. They land on like the obviously, the obvious answer is we counted Joe Biden one Wisconsin. And that, but they feel like they have answer is we counted Joe Biden won Wisconsin, but they feel like they have to say a question there at the end to make it like conspiracy-ish. So they're like, well, how, okay, how much money was spent to get all those votes that apparently they counted? And we just told you about. And the answer is 400 million, which they already told us about, too. Like the whole movie, it's just, it's just highlights of the told us about two, it like the whole movie.
Starting point is 01:02:25 It's just, it's just highlights of the other team's scoring goals. Like that's the movie. It's so good. Yeah, but when he gives us like, you know, but, but questions remain. He lists a bunch of his questions. And I'm like, in every single instance, the answer to that question is known and is a matter of public record. And then they show us those public records.
Starting point is 01:02:45 Which they have because Mark Zuckerberg didn't use the citizens United Loophole and you wouldn't have records about if he did that. Yeah, and they come out of course at this point and they're going like, you know, sure, the public records and the courts are saying one thing, but that one special counsel guy that we the misleading guy that we talked to earlier, he alleges a bribery scheme. That's the last we will ever hear about the bribery scheme. He might as well be launched from a catapult out of the movie from the moment he says that.
Starting point is 01:03:19 I just, you know, hey, you know what, man, I alleged that you eat your own poop with a spoon, David Bosse, do you feel obligated to disprove that now? I mean, based on the suit sizes, I have a lot of spoon question mark cut. Yeah. That's again, trying to be ominous. They say every place that they put a lot of money in had a big voting search. Like, why would that not be the case?
Starting point is 01:03:45 Like, were they admitted that the money was going to make it easier for people to vote? That was the whole thing. That makes too much sense. That would make sense, though. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I mean, the perfect crime. You make a good point.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Ha, ha, ha, ha. All right, well, I'll tell you what, obviously, more votes is better than fewer and spending money and proves outcomes are pretty heavy concepts to get your brain around. So we're gonna give the audience a minute to catch up. Well, I'll tell you what, obviously, more votes is better than fewer and spending money and proves outcomes are pretty heavy concepts to get your brain around. So we're gonna give the audience a minute to catch up. But first, let me give Act 3 the hard sell. Do they think their people are smarter than ours
Starting point is 01:04:13 is cheating? Do they know about the maths? Is this really all they have? Find out the answers to these questions and more when we return for the trickling conclusion of... Rigged. It is really all they have though. No, it's switch army knife because you can switch it. It has the flag on the side.
Starting point is 01:04:36 The plus sign? Hey guys! Hey, like what's up? Look, Ethan, I want to apologize for scratching my name onto the side of your car. Oh, well, I want to apologize for scratching my name onto the side of your car. Oh, well, that's, that's, and then scratching a criticism of the theory of moral sentiments onto the other side of your car. Yeah. I mean, you spelled Smith and sucks wrong.
Starting point is 01:04:54 Yeah, that's not the point. I realized that I did all that because I felt inferior. I didn't know what economics was. Yeah, we picked up on that when you carved, why don't they just print more money for everybody into the windshield? Into the windshield, yes, but now I know better, thanks to Masterclass.

Starting point is 01:06:15 they have all the money printing machine not not how works body it's fine it's fine it's not fine you're grown up. Maggie. Maggie, thanks so much for coming in. Hi, citizens United guys. We're just so excited to have you on this project.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Yeah, we really think your work as an old tour is going to lend subtlety to our film. You know what I'm saying? Get the message across without being too heavy handed. Uh sure. So go ahead, hit us with your best shot. Oh, well, right. Um, I just thought of my, a lot of questions. Uh, first one, this part in the middle where you say Mark Zuckerberg's big stealing money pants, who stole all the money was stealing the money in his pants.
Starting point is 01:07:03 And his pants, yeah, yeah. It's such an important part. What about that? What's the problem? Well, on the surface, it's not very persuasive. And underneath that, it's just not true. And it doesn't make any sense. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:07:16 I see. Okay, well, what if we just keep saying his very full Jewish name out loud over and over again? Like a lot. Is that more subtle at that point? That would be worse. Oh, sorry. So could we maybe just put Jew on the chiroin whenever we show him? Yeah. No, you should not put that on the chiroin. Come on. What are you doing? The chiroin even for that. You're anti-Semitic. And we're back for still more
Starting point is 01:07:44 of this shit somehow. And we're going to rejoin bossy walking through his big empty warehouse desperate to prove that they can to put in post production graphics dammit. I love how he tries to sell it by like whoa, don't want to run into these graphics. It's the best you get to watch him in his terrible suit walk out there and you see him be like and I stop Here I'm on the X for this is this day. Is this the right point this way or that? I'm I'm gonna be okay the map on the wall in my empty place. It's exactly like pro wrestling, you know It's vague but he does get body slammed by the numbers. He's referencing that's a great
Starting point is 01:08:23 Very true. Well, yeah, so this is funny because it's they show a map of the US and they show like where all of the money from this Zuckerberg grant went and like very clearly most of it went to non battleground states. A lot of like a lot of it went to like New York in California where there was never any question of who was going to win that state, right? Their own point is being disproven by their own graphic yet again. Well, later, this is going to come back because I, you know, you're right. No, it's amazing way.
Starting point is 01:09:04 Letters look forward to that. Another pie chart runs in and he's trying to upstage it, just jumping in. So, yeah, so he says here, he's like, you know, a defenders will tell you that my numbers are bullshit, but as long as you don't insist that I source them, we don't have to worry about that. They literally blur the source at one point. They just the words 97% like the sources in witness protection. So, and then of course, we go back to Trump, bossy's interview and Trump and he goes,
Starting point is 01:09:35 so why were Republican-aware areas awarded smaller amounts than Democratic areas in these grants? And I'm like, I bet he doesn't say it's because the Republican areas had fewer people. Huh, no, no. And he's like, no, it's because they, because they would not give them to them at all. Yeah, he seems to be going like
Starting point is 01:09:58 full white people can't get into college anymore at a certain point. He's like, I'll tell you, because the Democrats, they all applied, they got in. The Republicans applied, got in. Well, yeah, one more time, the only condition they were putting on getting this money was that you had to agree that it would help all the eligible voters. So again, you know, what are you admitting here movie? What is this?
Starting point is 01:10:26 Nothing, it helps you. I actually went down a rabbit hole at one point. I forget which claim I was fact checking, but I ended up on like a why Republican places tended to get less money from this giant fund. And one of them was like a bunch of people on principle refused money because they didn't believe COVID was real. Oh, yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:10:48 Okay. I did forget that. I would down a huge internet rabbit hole. It was delicious. Well, and again, let's keep in mind that like leading into this election, Trump had spent like seven or eight months demonizing the entire concept of voting by mail, right? So when people came in with big grants to help voting by mail, right? So when people came in with big grants
Starting point is 01:11:06 to help voting by mail happen, yeah, most Republicans wouldn't take it. Yeah, good point. And they thought COVID was a hoax, but they also wanted us to like send to virologists with the election and take great questions. Yeah, believe it or not, hypocrisy doesn't matter to these people at all.
Starting point is 01:11:24 All right, so now we're gonna to shift over to the Arizona story. Great. Yeah, please tell us about Arizona. This is going to be great. This is we great. This is where I'm going to change my mind. Republicans literally had Cyber Ninja's trying to in Arizona. Yes, and I love Trump's like opening argument here for the Arizona thing. He's like, you know, when I went to Arizona, I'd have these great big rallies filled with people and when Joe Biden had rallies there, they were socially distanced and only very few of them showed up.
Starting point is 01:11:59 It's like, well, yeah, man, it is a pandemic. God is why. And look, a credit where credit's due. I think we all voted for Joe Biden on this podcast. I would literally rather get a colonoscopy than go to a rally for Joe. If they were like, huh, what do you think big tube up your butt or stand there shouting Joe? I'm really on because you just get cancer screening. That's important.
Starting point is 01:12:23 You got to get that done. Chanting Biden, I guess, okay, fine. Yeah. That is, you know, where was that catch phrase? I would have put that bumper sticker, Biden 2020. Fine. Fine. Okay. Perhaps sadly, a fixing it over my warrant sticker. Just right. Yeah. So, and of course, once again, they point out that most of Zuckerberg's money went to the five counties with the most Democrats.
Starting point is 01:12:51 Again, those are also the ones with all the people in them. Right. Like they make this big deal. Like, Mira Copa County got almost all the money. It's like four of the five largest cities in Arizona are in Mira Copa County. You fucking idiot. Shush. Shush.
Starting point is 01:13:09 Shush. Shush. Shush. Shush. Shush. Shush. Shush. Sorry, I just want to make sure I'll be right back.
Starting point is 01:13:18 Was part of their conspiracy theory at one point in Arizona that there was paper with traces of bamboo fiber in it. And therefore China was involved because China, bamboo are words they associated together. Yes, that was one of the cyber, the things that this and what's amazing here is that the cyber ninja team checked that and found it to be incorrect. So as useless a fact, it was as it would be if it was correct, it wasn't even correct. They had ninjas checking on them. Wow. Okay. But anyway, we bring up the cyber ninjas. They actually claim during this fucking documentary that no investigation of the Arizona election had been done. And I'm look, look, if I had the cyber ninjas on my side,
Starting point is 01:14:06 I would pretend they didn't exist too, but there was an investigation. Five. Did they think we were leaving bamboo as a calling card to taunt them? Was that the theory? Like an assassin. Yeah, we should start doing that.
Starting point is 01:14:21 Yes. There's also a moment here where they actually just come out and say, I can't remember exactly who I think it was Ted Cruz or whatever, but somebody comes out and says, I don't think we have to blame China or the voting machines. And they stare right at us like, come on, you're getting a suit over that. I just love to think of Mike Lindell storming out of a theater at that moment. She's just dragging a soccer goal across the field as she says it. It's still grandma stay with me. We're still calling them cheaters. Yeah. And we did that. Remember how Jewish we said that guy was. Well, and the other half of that said
Starting point is 01:14:56 she says, I don't think we have to blame China or voting machines. I think we can look straight in the eyes of Mark Zuckerberg. And I'm like, I don't think we can though. That would be scary. I can't. I can't. I can't hurt the foremost. I think it feels like you get impregnated with bug eggs or something when you do that. Yeah. Yeah. Credit where credit is due, they then show us a picture of Mark Zuckerberg's eye.
Starting point is 01:15:18 And I'm like, yeah, I don't, I don't want to look into them. That's how I end up one of him. And then we all surround the protagonist. I've been there, been there. Kirk has to make a really good speech to snap me out of it. I've understood. What's the theory about 2016? Because we were cheating then too in their head, right?
Starting point is 01:15:37 So like the Illuminati, lizard alien people in 2016 were just like not very effective. We're half ass in the studio. Yeah, the people rose up. And by the way, that's all we get for Arizona. We're moving on now to my home state, the Georgia story. Now this has maybe the most jaw dropping line in the entire fucking movie when they start this up.
Starting point is 01:15:59 Some dude comes up and he says, and I quote, I wrote this that too. Georgia has always been a place where elections were honest fair and upright Cut to every African American in all of history doing a spit-take, right? Jesus Christ. How could you even say those words altogether? How could you even say those words altogether? They ad art it. Great. So we wouldn't see the lightning strike. So let's keep in mind, setting aside all the Jim Crow law shit which George are pioneered
Starting point is 01:16:36 in the immediately previous election to this one, the gubernatorial election, you know, where Brian Camp was the acting secretary of state and refused to recuse himself from overseeing his own goddamn election and then shut down all but one polling station in several black majority counties. That was the last fucking election before this one in the state where elections were always honest, fair and upright. Yeah. And. Yeah. And wow. Oh God, it's easy. He's like, you know,
Starting point is 01:17:09 if it hadn't been for money, the Democrats would have lost. I'm like, well, it only if your side got to still use money, though. And then we cut back to Newt Gingrich. He's like, you know, he said he says that the election was rigged so that Trump couldn't win, but he's real, real careful, not to allege any specific thing. No, but they try to show us another evil thing, but all they could show us is surveillance footage. I'm like, again, just like regular people nerds moving around paper in one of the election offices, but they decided like, all right, what if we show the surveillance cameras in But then they decided like, all right, what if we show the surveillance cameras in the past motion?
Starting point is 01:17:45 Yes, deceivler, right? It's just like a horror movie where the little girl does a back bend and then crawls towards it. Right, but it looks Charlie Chaplin asked when it's just a guy moving a box like Charlie Chaplin. It's so stupid. Well, and so, okay, this is one of those moments where I'm sure that if we were steeped in all the Mike Lindell bullshit conspiracy, there's we would know what video we were looking at.
Starting point is 01:18:09 Oh, I'm sure. But it's really, it's, it's honestly, it's just a video of a bunch of people counting votes. Well, one guy moves a box from one place to another. That is all we see in the, and of course, the piano stick, right? And then they slow it down. He moves a million votes into his pocket and keep going. What the fuck are you talking about? And then they slow it down. He moves a million votes into his pocket and keeps going. What the fuck are you talking about? And then, okay, so now it's time to heap even more blame on that notorious lefty Brad Rathansberger. This is so good.
Starting point is 01:18:37 This is so fantastic, because it's just the two clips of Brad Rathansberger being like, I just said, no, I won't actively do fraud. I'm on your side. I'm on your side. Cut. He's a little bit wrong. Not if you won't actively do fraud. You're not. But yeah, so this is where they harp on the consent decree. And this is something that they love to get a lot of mileage out of. So what this is, this is the result of a lawsuit that Stacey abrams brought against the state because she could prove that the signature matching requirements that they added it you know a couple years earlier disproportionately affected minority voters which is against the god damn law so the courts ordered them to fix that and the consent
Starting point is 01:19:23 decree was the agreement that fixed it. Right. But they sell it in this movie as though it's something that Stacey Abrams and Brad Raffensberger cooked up in a smoke filled room without anybody knowing about it. It's just Brad and Stacey sitting there over a couple of rare T-bone steaks. This will defeat my party. Wait, why would I have to say that? Whoa, this will defeat my party. Wait, why would you get brandy, right? Let's switch a little brandy to. And also, by the way, they also say that the consent decree makes it illegal to match signatures on votes with signatures that they have on file. That could not be more untrue. Right. The consent decree requires that that be done. So yeah, that's the level
Starting point is 01:20:07 of lies we've gotten to at this point. Also, GOP state officials in Georgia checked specifically and they came to the conclusion that the consent decree thing had no effect and created no fraud in the 2012 election. Republicans did that. Right. A panel of Republicans. Yeah, Trump chimed in on this one as well. And he's like, you know, why the courts haven't overturned this is incredible. And I'm like, yeah, it's weird how they just threw out all of your lawsuits for having no merit. Very suspicious. And they would do that. And another thing, how come they keep firing my lawyers from lawyer them? And powerful conspiracy. He says, look, in the courts opinion, it isn't those.
Starting point is 01:20:50 No. Also, they did, they ran out of stuff on that point. So they at one point at the end of this little scene, they try to show us a scary thing. You remember the whole bottled water in line controversy where people were like giving out bottled water in line controversy, where people were like giving out bottled water at polling places, and that was somehow favoring Democrats because then they'd be able to vote. So they show us just some random person.
Starting point is 01:21:14 It happens to be a black woman, of course. She's in line waiting to vote, and she's holding a bottle of water, and we watch her like fiddle with it and be like, I am quenched and ready for fraud. Like that's what they're going to. Right. Look at how illegally hydrated all these people are. Yeah. Hey, he's I hate to argue with you on the air, but I don't think she just happens to be
Starting point is 01:21:35 a black woman. Yeah. That's just happening to be a black woman. Yeah. And then so, and so bossy repeats the same stupid fucking claims again, but this time he says once again, right? So, so that he can soften the blow of the fact that 33 minutes into this 40 minute documentary, they've run out of new shit to talk about. Yeah, this is just a tiny moment here, but this is where
Starting point is 01:21:58 he attempts to make the words drop off boxes. And let me just, I mean, Maggie, you have far more acting experience than me, but like, can I just say great performance, no? Oh, it was inspired. It was some of those believable stuff that I saw, you know. Right? Yes. Daniel Day Lewis couldn't get there, couldn't get there. And again, so just to be super clear, the accusation they're making here is that money for election
Starting point is 01:22:29 integrity helped tip the scales in Georgia. And it did. Again, they are correct. The scales were set to minority exclusion and then they were tipped. Yeah. They say drop boxes all evil like you, I just did. They also set, they list stuff there and they're like drop boxes, getting ballots to all the quote registered vote.
Starting point is 01:22:53 And then they like realized that they have nothing. And they do another pianist thing and move on. It's the greatest. Yeah. They're like, you know, we're sure there was a bunch of front. We couldn't actually find any, but we're sure it's there. It's somewhere there. We fraudulently tried're sure there was a bunch of front, we couldn't actually find any, but we're sure it's there. It's somewhere there. We fraudulently tried to prove there was fraud and we failed. We can't just have everyone vote.
Starting point is 01:23:11 It's pandemonium when everybody's voting, impossible to have a fair election. Yeah. And of course, Trump says, you know, he's making his bullshit claims and says at one point that he doesn't think any honest person can disagree with them. I'm like, I don't, I don't think by definition they have to. Like they, they, they, they know honest person can agree with you about anything you've ever said, Jackass.
Starting point is 01:23:32 And also, this is a great argument too. Trump comes up and he says like, you know, I was told that if I got 63 million votes in this election, I couldn't lose. But yeah, that was wrong. You should fire the person that told you that, man, not make a documentary about how you were cheated. I was told it was a race to 63 million votes. And then they just kept going. That's why I said, stop the count. It was a terrible afternoon. I barely eat my big Mac. No, and of course he loves
Starting point is 01:24:02 to make a lot of hair. He points out that he got the most votes ever by anybody except Biden in that very same election. But nobody else had ever gotten more votes than he got except the guy he was running against. I got more votes than Abraham Lincoln, mother fuckers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If it helps, Donald, we're also depressed by how many votes you got even though it helps. Yeah. And then for some reason that is complete mystery to me, he has to lie about gas prices. Yes. Yeah, he said just for no reason. Like you said, absolutely no, up or well, nothing gas was $1.87 when I left end of scene. It was, that's not even true. It was like 238 next to whatever. Why would you let that out? Yeah, I just wrote my notes. Oh, did
Starting point is 01:24:51 anything else happen since then? Since you left. Yeah. No, yeah. Man, the entire energy sector was in full collapse when you left, man. Way to go. You really nailed that. Just sitting at the top of the water tower from Mad Max being like, there's leftovers right now, guys. I'm just saying there's a left of us of water. So then an ominous title card shows up to explain that Democrats control the White House, the US House. That's how they put it and the US Senate. I wrote in my notes, do we do? Yeah, right, right. Yeah, it's funny.
Starting point is 01:25:28 It's weird how often they keep finishing sentences that can only begin with our candidate was so bad that. Mm-hmm. Right. We go back to fucking Ted Rottenfruit cruise. He's like, here's what we know. He pulls up like a thing with like five pieces of paper stapled together. I'm like, I honestly believe that everything you know is contained within
Starting point is 01:25:51 those five pieces of paper. Single side of Ted. I'm with you, buddy. Yeah. Yeah. But so he spends a bunch of time regurgitating the, they only spent money where we were trying to fuck black people out of their voting rights point. Yeah. and this is the excuse thing, right? Because remember earlier, they pointed out that like, oh, lots of money went to New York city, and of course they were going to always win New York. And we learn why now the reason why they drove up the popular vote was to make the Democrats feel better about themselves. Well, yeah, they even say that if it didn't work and they couldn't win the electoral votes,
Starting point is 01:26:26 they at least would have a big popular vote margin. I'm like, so you're saying he spent millions and millions of dollars for a little ego boost in case they lost. I feel like he didn't. What if they had hired cyber ninjas to do it? Would it be okay then? Yeah. Right. Well, also, this is an amazing one too. Ted Cruz goes, you know, it's really weird. What if they had hired cyber ninjas to do it would it be okay then yeah right
Starting point is 01:26:49 Well also this is an amazing one too Ted Cruz it goes, you know It's really weird that Biden would win by so much Nationally while Republicans still picked up seats in the house And I'm like yeah, it's like it's almost like you guys Jerry mandered the districts or something Almost almost Jesus districts or something. Almost. Almost. Jesus. Ah, they say Zuckerbucks a bunch more times. They do. It's true.
Starting point is 01:27:10 I really don't think they know how numbers work. I think that's reasonable that like bigger and smaller and so. All right, so 63 million. Imagine if you were to, I don't know, augment that. Oh, like I don't think they get numbers. Yeah. Constantly. That's really kind of the only. I don't know, augment that. Oh, like, I don't think they get numbers constantly. That's really kind of the only, either they don't get numbers
Starting point is 01:27:29 or they don't think that their audience gets numbers. I think the latter is a little bit more likely, but yeah, yeah, and also, I think it's probably worth pointing out that, you know, after the millions and millions of dollars that Zuckerberg apparently spent to whatever had their losing margins, just in case, whatever, like Hillary also won the popular vote. Like we already had that.
Starting point is 01:27:52 Right. That wasn't something we even needed to pad. Well, yeah. So yeah. So yeah. So and then they start like trying to use the fact that they're saying this lie as proof that the lie is true as though we were doing biblical apologetics or something. Right, they're like, well, look at this survey shows that a lot of people believe the lie that we've been telling straight for
Starting point is 01:28:15 18 months now. It's like, really? That Republicans believe that is it? Mostly. Yeah, is this the rest, Musin poll? Yeah, yeah, exactly. What I loved about this is that it's worded very carefully so that we would also agree to it so they can act like it's a universal thing. It's like, lots of people are worried about election integrity. And I'm like, yeah, I'm worried about election integrity. Rudy Giuliani tried to do a dive for all through the mail slot in New York. This is the moment where they actually, I feel like finally realized that like, oh, we're citizens united saying this out loud. So they'd mentioned that like, okay, well, Republicans, because of this big fraud conspiracy, we are now, because we want integrity trying to
Starting point is 01:29:01 ban billionaires from buying elections, but they had to like add a qualify there and they're like Zuckerberg Lee specifically. Right. Those Democrats and their desire to have billionaires run, you're candid. It is a fucking billionaire. You fucking idiots. You are literally trying to elect a billionaire to run the fucking country. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:29 Zuckerberg style funding is what they call it. Yes. Wow. Does that mean like without the ability to recognize the emotions of others? I don't what is that? What kind of Zuckerberg funding? Right. And once again, this all falls apart when you consider the fact that Zuckerberg could
Starting point is 01:29:44 just have given them money to Democrats, right? So basically what they're saying is they want to make it impossible for billionaires to make elections fair, but they're fine with billionaires still involving their billions in elections. Are you saying corporations are not people, no? It's a kind of weird shit. Yeah, but a judicated dang it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:08 So then, yeah, we really dig into the brass musin poll, the 24th most accurate polling firm out of 28 ranked on the thing I saw. And the actual number that they give us here is that 70% of respondents think that Zuckerberg's money is bad for democracy. Now, again, to Eli's point, like keeping in mind that we all, like if you accept reality, we all know all the terrible shit that Facebook did in 2016 to allow Trump to get elected in the first place. So yes, yes, if you ask me, is Zuckerberg's money bad for democracy?
Starting point is 01:30:44 I was going to say more often than not. Yes, it is. Yeah. It's like asking, is smog the dragon good for the environment? And I'm like, I don't know. Voldemort was the good guy, right? Let's circle back to that. Good guy.
Starting point is 01:30:57 Is this our focus about smog? Is this what we're worried about? I'm also losing a nose. So, but also, so here's, here's my challenge to the makers of this film. Hey, guys, anytime you want to switch to publicly funded elections, all the Democrats are on board. Me and all the Democrats will agree to walk off that cliff with you, motherfuckers. It's definitely just for the camera problems alone.
Starting point is 01:31:21 I'm into it. Steve, Steve borrowed this one from the local high school. Joe, we need you to stand in front of it. You gotta talk loud. We didn't have a mic. And of course, we have to close everything off by pointing out that, you know, they invited Mark Zuckerberg to be in their documentary to tell his side of the story, but they told it, but he told them to go fuck themselves. Actually, he had a guy. There was a guy there that was several guys We didn't even get the senior guy. We got the junior Seriously last line in this movie is Donald Trump saying
Starting point is 01:31:57 Mark Zuckerberg is one of them and then a literal Hissing noise and literal hissing noise. And it couldn't have been more on point if it was a clip of Eli going cricky paw. Yeah. Yep. Have the neck. No, man, we can't use that. It's the closing credit of your hiss.
Starting point is 01:32:18 That's much more sensitive. Yeah. All right. So moral of the story, anybody pick up on a moral underpinning this entire thing? Some numbers are bigger than other numbers. Unfairly so. Yeah. And they mean whatever you want it to mean.
Starting point is 01:32:39 It's cheating when the other guys do it. Our numbers really. All right, well Maggie, I can't thank you enough for hanging out with us and suffering through this. It was only like 40 minutes, but I've got to assume the longest 40 minutes of your life. So in return, like if our listeners wanted to hear more from you, where should they go? Oh, absolutely. I also am long-winded, but maybe it would not be as torturous as sitting through this documentary. You can find me over on YouTube. YouTube channel is just my name, Maggie Mae Fish, and also on Twitter and Instagram.

Starting point is 01:33:33 And well, that's going to do it for a review of rigged. That's that I can do it for the episode. Just yet because we still need to trick ourselves into doing this again. So Eli, tell us what's on deck. Well, Noah, we'll be doing journey to hell live in Toronto.

We'll leave you with the breakfast glove glows. Thanks to Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump lost it wordled today. Donald Trump would go on to die mad about it. In 2024, Citizens United would release a film about how Donald Trump only lost because
Starting point is 01:34:59 more people voted for his opponent. Titled? Yes. more people voted for his opponent. Titled yes. Pfft. Pfft. Hello, Heath. Yeah, you're right. You're married. You're down. We all know what happened. We have a thing where we race down to the interstitials. And I cheated this week. Interstitial three in which he and I are the makers of this film. I feel like Maggie is so fucking confused about what this is like nine levels
Starting point is 01:35:47 of weird inside jokes. Donald Trump, Melania, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Yeah, I know. That one was that one was out of our sample on my part. Yep. I think we lost Noah again.
