one time i was in destin florida with some of my boys on a um some of your boys some of my boys
some of your boys your four brothers yeah on a spring break trip when i was in college we were
like it wasn't one of those things where you like go to the beach we weren't like we weren't trying to do spring break in Destin.
It was more like we were trying to just drive
in a general eastern direction from Austin, Texas,
and just wound up in Destin.
And it was depressing as fuck.
We were just doing oxycodone in a hotel room.
Destin, eh.
Just the bros getting fucked up.
Yeah.
And we were watching Menace to Society on TV.
This was probably like 2009 or something.
And they like,
you know how they dub over movies on TV?
Like for example,
one of the best examples is Big Lebowski.
In the scene, like you fuck a stranger in the
ass on tv they dubbed it as find a stranger in the alps like that was always good um makes no
makes no sense at all but like it just sort of like consonants wise sounds yeah like the actual
thing so if you've seen the movie you're just like oh that's fine if you haven't seen the movie you're just like what but yeah but when on in that movie every time someone
would say like fucking cocksucker they would overdub it as perverted backstabber
it's oddly it's oddly specific sounds like uh somebody in the transcription room maybe has an axe to grind.
An axe to grind, yeah.
An axe to grind, yeah.
That was always one of my favorite tactics to edit rap songs.
Instead of scrambling the word or whatever or just blanking it out,
they would just change the lyric altogether.
Yeah.
or just blanking it out.
They would just change the lyric altogether.
Yeah.
And I think the most famous example for me was,
what is in Eminem's My Name Is?
He says, what does he say?
I just drank a fifth of Kool-Aid, dare me to drive.
And then what does he say about killing pedestrians, raping lesbians? But it sounds like, what does he say about killing pedestrians, raping lesbians but it sounds like
what does he say, I forget something else
but he totally changed, you know because that song when it came out
was like just extremely controversial
yeah
the most notorious
version was Jay Z
I won't
say the word
and I won't say the word that he replaced it with either.
I won't even say the city they were in.
Well, I mean, this is the thing, right?
If you replace certain words, it loses context.
I think Draco, what is it it a fifth of kool-aid
like what is this kids bop bro you know and also too like like especially if you swap out like the
word nigga right and say like something else it's like dude everybody knows what the word is so you
see it you see the substitute and you're thinking of it in your head all jay-z did was switch out the like the n in the word for a j so it's like you
retains the whole thing yeah well it's like well it's like it's like yeah when it gets like with a
fascism by this will you know and then basically snoop dogg had all these white people going around
basically saying i mean not really but you know what I mean personally I didn't feel any type of way
because I was just like it's just about funny
it's an n-word sir
exactly well I mean
until like you know
until uh you know white supremacists
start calling me a nizzle you know
online in my dms and stuff I mean I don't
have anything to worry about it's fine you know
let's hope that they never come.
When they start doing
epic mid-aughts
stuff like that, oh.
That's going to
take me to a very bad place.
We covered it on a couple episodes
ago. We didn't cover it, but we talked about it a little bit.
Yeah, man.
It seems like every year that passes uh their nostalgia for the past is closer in time to the
present you know yeah like they're nostalgic now they're nostalgic for like the 2000s you know
what i mean next it's gonna be the 2010 so these motherfuckers sitting around watching fear factor
all day that's how they got into rogan you know what i mean these motherfuckers sitting around watching Fear Factor all day. That's how they got into Rogan. You know what I mean?
These motherfuckers about to be nostalgic for the future.
You know what I'm saying?
In that similar vein about words and songs,
y'all know one of my favorite songs is Money for Nothing and the Chicks for Free by Dire Straits.
Uh-huh.
I'm taking singing lessons right now.
Shout out to Ann Claire.
I don't believe in doing bits to friends
but I did think if it was anybody
else a funny thing to do in this situation
because she was like pick a song
that you want to sing and sing it and then tell me
what you like about the way you sing it
and all this stuff and then we'll go and try to hit the notes
right and all this stuff
and I thought a funny thing to do would be
to hit them with well I'm going to do Dire Straits
Money for Nothing today and then she's just sitting there thinking oh god is he gonna say is he gonna say
the word the dual f word and that comes in the second verse so like it's got the whole first
verse to sweat it you know you're a kid my way to f words do shout out ann claire i partied with her at a
wedding this past summer um i never thought about that though yeah like your client bringing you a
song and you're doing singing lessons
I need to do accent lessons
I'm gonna do accent
Is there
I mean I guess right I guess there are accent
Teachers if you're an actor or
I mean I mean that sounds like
Something that exists right
That's another thing you missed Tom Tom, before you got on.
Me and Aaron had a new character.
His name is Jeffrey Owen.
He does the wildlife specials on Little St. James.
He's a naturalist for Little St. James, either.
He's a wildlife specialist.
Yeah, he just does, like, he's Steve Irwin's brother. He's a wildlife specialist. Yeah, he just does like... He's like
Steve Irwin's brother. He's Jeffrey Irwin.
He's Jeffrey Irwin's wayward
brother. And he just
errs a little too close to the Epstein
sphere for comfort.
I mean, they like the
elite, the moneyed elite liked having him around
because at parties he would bring
animals. Like he would just
pull out some obscure australian
creature out of his pocket and they would be fascinated you know then then it led to
the sex dungeons you know and then from there yeah it's like if steve irwin's down on his luck
brother he's also a wildlife specialist but they were like he couldn't get a job steve irwin
cornered the market and he looked
and sounded too much like Steve.
So they just gave him a job at Little St. James
and they were like
They actually think he's his brother
but he doesn't bother to tell them that he's not.
There are some people who actually think
Steve Irwin is still alive because Jeffrey Irwin
still makes music.
Jeffrey Irwin.
It's like people
thinking that Tupac is still alive in Cuba or some shit, you know.
Oh, my God.
But did y'all see that, like, on those Epstein documents they released, like, a few weeks ago?
Like, Al Gore was, like, at Little St. James one time with his wife, and they asked, like, one of the epstein victims like did al gore ever
do you ever come into contact with al gore and she was like no actually al gore was very sweet
and nice and like he he's like it was weird it's like it's almost like they invited him and he had
no idea what he was getting himself into he was just like oh it's a good it's a nice little island
and then he gets there this is not yeah they're just like walking around they're like they're just like they're just like shoving like you know people back in the sex
yeah he's like sitting on the beach they're wearing like fucking like uh these weird
masks and shit behind him yeah trying to try to like pass before he turns around i was hanging
out with jeffrey erwin that's how he got on the beach that's how he got like environmentalist pilled he met jeffrey erwin
on jeffrey fc's island even now this is a red-tailed iguana you see
and i was like yeah yeah okay okay it's shame these guys are dying off from climate change. Yeah, he was so traumatized by that experience.
That's how it forked in his brain.
He was like, I must now commit my life to saving the planet.
He was just...
Yeah, right.
Because of what transpired on Little St. James.
Yeah.
But see, he could never tell anybody this story, though, you know?
Yeah.
Because I'd be like, wait, why were you on Little St. James Island?
Yeah.
Listen, i kind of
slipped on a banana pill and ended up there yeah truth be told that would suck that did not involve
pedophilia well you know like that movie hat that movie it was a book we read all the time growing
up hatchet like about a oh yeah you know like the plane goes down you have to survive like imagine
if that's your plane goes down and you're a castaway
on little st james i gotta tell you it's a bad place to be a 15 year old castaway
like that's like imperceptibly bad luck shouldn't laugh it's very fucked up but it's uh
i'm just thinking of like uh i'm thinking of uh
tom hanks uh with wilson and castaway dude sitting on a beach not knowing
that a couple hundred meters below him underground
he's not alone he's not deserted on this island. There are people here. Dude, that actually...
Because the other night I watched Cruel Intentions.
Because it's a remake of Dangerous Liaisons,
which is based off of a book written in 18th century aristocratic France.
Just like sex pests and perverts.
Perverted backstabbers. That movie is. Perverted Backstabbers.
That movie is about perverted backstabbers.
There's a lot of art about perverted backstabbers.
Really get down to it.
There really is.
I think a lot of art is motivated by perverted backstabbers.
Perverted backstabbers.
You could remake Hatchet like they did with Cruel Intentions,
but he has a hatchet,
and it becomes one of those gore movies,
like slasher films from the 80s.
It's like he crash lands on Lil' St. James with only a hatchet,
and they try to kidnap him and induct him into their sex cult and he's got his hatchet. And he hacks through
all of them. And he hacks through all of them.
Yeah. So it's like taking
he's like taking all this pest
sex ring but with a hatchet. With a hatchet.
Hell yeah dude.
Hell yeah. See we need
to bring back shit like that.
We soundtrack it with ICP
music and we've got a movie.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
I think Gary Paulsen died just a few years ago, but I think he would let us remake his
classic book with that new twist on it.
The Juggalo St. James Island angle.
Yeah, he would let us do that, I think.
We need to bring back the...
I mean, I'm a Philistine, so I'm not a cultured man.
But we need to bring back...
Oh, God.
I mean, I like science fiction.
I like culture.
But no, we need to bring back the vigilante movie, man.
But not with grislyly reactionary white guys, you know.
You seen the previews for Monkey Man?
Yes, yo.
This shit looks good.
Dude, yo, I know it is the joke, man.
You know, what is it, Chinese John Wick, yo.
But, like, seriously, like, you know, that is a model.
That is a formula
that is very formulaic thing that can be applied to any creed any nationality any gender anybody
at all can be john wick you know i i don't know anything about the movie but i just looked it up
and um dev patel starred produced wrote and directed it. That's the shit. I mean, I'm trying to do that.
I'm trying to get on that shit where I, like, star, produce, write, and direct my own shit.
A lot going on there.
And it looks gorgeous.
Very stylish.
It does.
It looks especially gory and gruesome.
Yeah, it looks like it goes hard, too, on the gory.
It probably sucks, though.
Let's be real.
It probably sucks.
You think so?
Everything sucks, pretty much. Yeah, everything sucks. let's be real it probably so you think so everything sucks pretty much so yeah everything's that's fine you know nothing's good anymore um this program except this program yeah i've realized i've made one of the classic blunders
and that's you know when you um play hooky a little too long from work and then people
realize things come along fine without you.
Oh, no. They were like,
where the fuck is Tom? Yeah, dude. They were freaking the fuck out. What are you talking about?
Well, maybe at first.
But as time went on, everybody's like, oh, great
episode. And I'm like,
great episode because Tom was
going, what you talking about?
Great episode, guys. And then the next one.
Oh, this is an all-time.
I was like, wait a second. They were just saying that to be No, what are you talking about? No. So, guys, and then the next one. Oh, this is an all-time. This is an all-time.
I was like, wait a second.
They were just saying that to be nice to me and Aaron.
I swear to God, if you took one more week off, people would be like, what the fuck?
Like, we can't be stuck with these two.
No.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
You should never do that.
You should never play yourself you should always go back to work
before people realize that things uh move along more more more or less fine without you that that
or if you were at a job uh uh on the opposite end of the spectrum um you want a job where nobody
knows that you're there at all uh-huh yeah. Yeah, that's true. Outside out of mine is good, too. Totally.
I know guys that have been getting paid seven years
not doing anything by having a gig like that.
Just staying at home.
Yeah.
What a dream.
Remember that guy in Spain that did that a few years ago?
Uh-huh.
That's one of my headlines.
Well, to start this week's show i wanted to share a uh there's a devil's milkshake
out there in the world that just happened and um i wanted to highlight it because it like perfectly aligns with all my hobbies and interests all my like
uh you know all the things that i'm personally interested in it seems like most of my interests
are about planes and how to die in them or from them or you know what I mean like I yeah yeah yeah like you could go like the
Muhammad Atta route or you could
possibly yourself
jump out of a plane
or
don't let Terrence ever sit
in an exit row
when they ask you sir
don't tell him how to open that door
sir are you comfortable sitting
no no don't let him sit there
I'll sit there
i love i love airplanes folks we all know how much i love airplanes uh and this week we got
a devil's milkshake that took place on an airplane um so like we talked about the 737
boeing max 9 you know what i mean like the fucking the plane where like the door was like
ripping off superman tore the door off
mid-flight well um to put people at ease i guess the alaska airlines coo flew on a couple of flights right next to the door like on several flights
and like made like a big deal of it right like they did like a press release and like a all right
wait can i can i ask real quick before you continue was the door open because if the door wasn't open that is not a devil's milkshake the door could have
ripped off at any moment okay true true true but but but if you really really really you know if
he really had the temerity the gall you know he would have had he would be sitting there
just being whipped around by like 150 miles and i don I don't fucking know. Like 30,000 feet in the air.
I think they should put like a screen door
that you would see in like a house,
a rundown like house.
Like a mosquito net?
Do it!
No, here's what they need to do.
It's like in Eastern Kentucky,
like the hillbilly thing,
when somebody like busts their windshield out,
how they staple or like tape
like a black garbage
bag over it.
That's what they need to do, just ride it in.
And it keeps
sucking it out.
So they keep...
What if they did that on the plane, y'all?
What if they just taped
up a plastic bag?
That's it.
You can't duck it, it oh man um so funny
well i thought that was funny it's like so i'm so i'm sure the col was fine she's fine the door
he didn't whip out he pulled out like a napkin yeah it didn't rip off mid flight so she was fine but like the photo of her sitting
next to the door um you could you could see she's a little scared she's a little worried she's a
little like fuck i drew the short straw like i i like okay the reason i um like the devil's milkshake is a frame for understanding the world is that it shows that, like, even the most powerful people in the world understand there's still some sort of, like, very tenuous compact between the plebs, like, the unwashed masses and the wealthy people.
wealthy people so it's like for example like if a king disgraced himself in like medieval europe he would still have to have some sort of like walk of shame through the city where like people
threw tomatoes at him and stuff you know what i mean like that's how you vent popular outrage
it still exists it's still alive and well today but i mean but i think i think it kind of uh
maybe touches upon something that we've mentioned maybe in the past couple episodes
about uh uh i mean simply put sort of this mask off sort of a moment that we're seeing you know
where there's not even the pretense of of of there's not even trying to pretend anymore that
you uh you know want to save face you know what i mean or that you want to make yourself i'm not
articulating myself right now but it's not it's like that yeah it still does exist but it does
feel like that is waning you know what i mean where the elite are kind of more like i don't
have to fucking prove anything to you i'm not gonna drink this shit you know also i have to
do say though it is very it is it is slightly uh i don't know if encouraging or heartwarming a little bit
that she was uneasy about partaking in the devil's milkshake it's very human it's like
lot's wife looking back you know what i mean and turning into a film i like that a lot sweaty
palms the whole time yeah gripping gripping deceit yeah. I used to be an orthodox
devil's milkshake-ian
and think that you could only
do it by imbibing a substance
of some kind.
But experiences can be devil's milkshakes too.
I'm revisionist now.
I'm reformed.
Yeah.
The neo-shake... Well, not Shakespearean. vision is now okay okay i'm reformed yeah the neo no the neo shake uh well i'm not shakespeare shakespeare um shout out chas walker for bringing that to my attention i appreciate it
um okay let next on the docket let's let's let's talk a little bit about uh
docket let's let's let's talk a little bit about uh aaron and i talked about it on the show with alexandra avina on the patreon a little bit um but i wanted to rope biden into this too
but we were talking about pelosi and how anti-chinese uh yes discrimination the anti-Chinese discrimination.
He said that anybody who's protesting for
Palestine is either
Chinese
or Russian.
Not even like
Chinese-American or
Russian-American.
Somehow, you have been bused
here or flowed here from
either one of those countries
and you don't have American
citizenship. It's like that classic dad
joke. If you're Russian when you go in,
go to the toilet. If you're American
when you leave the toilet, what do you eat when you're
in there? European.
You're in there.
European.
I'm sure that's what she was thinking.
She got her wires crossed.
She was like, no, it was supposed to be a dad joke.
Right, you guys didn't get it. Right.
I saw this tweet That
Normally I wouldn't single somebody out like this
But
What am I talking about?
Of course I would
That's what we've been doing for seven straight years
Normally I wouldn't do this
If it was 2016 again
Normally I wouldn't do this thing that has become a bottle for the show
with the way we just do things here.
Just tee that up like R. Kelly going to the Ignition remix.
Now, usually I don't do this, but...
Oh, man.
I saw a tweet from at TWLadyGrey.
My thoughts on Pelosi's comments about protesters having foreign influence is she's getting intelligence briefings and you're not.
Boom, bitch.
Damn.
Who'd you get intelligence briefings from?
From her, like, I don't know, from her atrophying mind?
Like, I don't know.
Like, the thing is, man man is that i've seen people
make comments like that like somebody made a reply to me and said that oh i've seen enough
paid protesters and i'm just like dude you haven't seen any of this shit like you know
that she's full of shit and you know that you're full of shit, but I mean, I don't know.
What is it?
It's pathetic.
I've seen some shit.
It's like a Vietnam vet.
There were 30 paid protesters up on the ridge.
They were barreling down on us.
They had the whole place astroturfed.
Waving around their sharp plac for by george soros wait
that's actually the right wing
my bad that's the right see yo
they converge dog they converge
the right wing talks about
soros protesters and fucking
liberals we were completely
surrounded
oh god well aaron i think you said it right as uh let's say for the sake of argument that that
u.s intelligence briefings do not at all have their thumb on the scale that their objective
goings on and like you know whatever whatever and let's say all that's true the information you get is only as good as the
vessel that it's being processed through and i just want to point out that joe biden also gets
a lot of intelligence briefings presumably i don't know maybe they just feed him oatmeal these days i
don't know what but but but is it you know is it getting out there you know forthright and expeditiously and
in the through the best uh vessel you know and uh i can't say with any degree of confidence that's
true for either uh the chief commander-in-chief or mrs pelosi no her of Sunday. What was it? Sunday.
Good morning. Good Sunday.
What did you say?
Good morning Sunday. Happy
Sunday. Happy good morning.
Good morning Sunday morning.
Good morning Sunday.
It's like a three-year-old
coming out of anesthesia.
Just had
a wisdom teeth pull.
For real, dog. Oh, man, dude. anesthesia dog just had a wisdom tape for real dog oh man dude it was good morning sunday morning yeah good morning sunday sunday morning i saw i saw a couple people edited that to like do
some vapor wave kind of edit it made it look really like surreal and weird and kind of horrified yo pretty pretty it's like yeah man this
is this is what uh our uh our politicians our octogenarians are good for is making dystopian
apocalyptic memes out of you know what i mean well it's i mean i don't know guys like i was
really struggling last week because there was two clips that went around of Biden.
One of them where he was like,
don't mess with the men, unless you want to.
You mean the one where he said exactly that
and people clapped?
Yeah.
You don't want the Great Lakes women's,
you don't want the The Great Lakes women's You don't want the benefit
The rapturous applause
Orgiastic
Orgiastic applause
That
Yo that set me dog
That one
Okay so it's like that one and then the brewery one
Like the beer brew beer The beer dude dude Earth rider That one, okay. So it's like that one and then the brewery one,
like the beer, beer, beer, the beer, beer, beer,
Earth Rider.
And like, which sounded,
it was like a Ronnie James Dio lyric or something.
Oh, Earth Rider, you've been out too long in the Great Lakes Sea.
It's like, I was like i i just posted something like just boilerplate just fired it off like we were talking about before we got on air and like people people get really mad
at you just for like firing off at the hip it's just like dude i'm just a human being who says
shit like you guys pull way too much stock in like how smart you think
i am yeah i don't know what i'm saying at any given time yo seriously i'm not in control of
that shit it's like i tweeted out i was like there's no way i was like there's no fucking
way biden's making it to november after i saw the earth rider thing. I was like, dude, no fucking way. And immediately.
So it went viral, right?
I don't know.
People latch on to stuff because they need it to be.
I mean, because it was just also just an objectively true statement.
It was one of those things that you see where it's like looking at a tombstone.
Where it's like, okay, person's name, the day they were born, the day they die.
Facts.
That's literally what it was like.
Yeah, it's like the old cartoons where that date's open,
and then it just gradually comes in.
Yeah.
Bugs Bunny's laying there in the daisy.
Dude, okay. they're the daisy dude okay so like my comments man i swear to god like i was it was like filled
with people who were like you took this out of context he's had a stuttering problem since he's
been 17 it's just like it's like okay no no no fucking no i know people with that have stutter i had a fucking
i had speech class i had all that shit no no there is a stark contrast between cognitive decline
and fucking speech impediment now one can beget the other for sure. I understand that. But, like, what is happening there is this man is not there.
I'm sorry.
He's sundowning.
Ain't nothing between them eyes.
This is the thing.
It's, like, it's going to drive me insane because with liberals in the past,
you could disagree with them on political things you could disagree with
them on larger philosophical issues but generally you seem to share the same reality with them
yeah yeah yeah especially when it comes to science right especially when it comes to like
the appearance of things i mean depending if we're talking about social socioeconomic structures probably not right
but if we're talking about the way things seem on the surface they love to tout their their
objectivity right you know what i mean that they see things for what they are but when it comes to
this motherfucker who should be taken to a pastor and so he could graze you know what i mean yeah
joe should get like well well, no, he shouldn't
because he's a bed of genocide,
whether wittingly or unwittingly.
But if he hadn't done that,
well, never mind.
This man needs to go out like Oak Yeller.
That's what I wanted to say.
We need to take him out back to the shed.
If he got what he deserved, I'm saying.
Yeah, this is a just world.
Yes, that's what happened
well the thing is the thing is about him is like uh you're you're starting to see
in the media i mean i've pointed this out multiple times obviously i do think the commentariat is
extremely like doomer blackpilled at the moment. Like they don't have, they know that there's no real alternative.
Like I was reading this Washington Post op-ed from Max Boot.
Oh no.
The boot.
The headline was, if Trump wins, he will destroy the American led world order.
And.
Wait, can I just say, Terrence say tears real quick it's like what i told
you when i was watching cnn one time or msnbc it's no longer it's no longer like the language
is no longer couched like as if like like propositioning biden versus trump it's almost
already deterministic or fatalistic as if it's like if trump wins if biden loses you know and
that's the that's the
fascinating thing i did control f on this article looking for any mention of biden it mentions him
in the first sentence as trump's opponent there's nothing else in the article about how like if we're
going to avert trump we need x y and z it's like they like they they themselves are internalized
that there's no alternative there's no yes exactly sorry to cut you off there that's so that's like it you know it's uh
you know something liberals love to throw out at you too is uh einstein's definition of insanity
and yet and yet on the big ones the big questions about who leads the global order
and whatever.
Not in terms of any sort of moral arc
or anything like that,
but just to keep the wolves at the gates
and not inside the city walls.
They just totally punt
out of some weird loyalty
to a senile old man.
Yeah.
Last week,
I guess we'll get into it. I guess we'll get into it i guess we could get into it here but like
the u.s world order it's like dude what have you seen in the last three or four months that would
disabuse you of the notion that biden has already done that like he has obviously already shredded any last thread of fucking credibility the United States would have at any level to broker conflicts, to reassemble like regional blocks.
You know what I'm saying? saying like this there is no i don't know it's i it's just this weird suspended thing where they
like refuse to acknowledge that like what biden has done has been catastrophic and of course like
you know i don't think anything trump does is gonna be any better yeah but they don't they
can't really let their brains go that far it just has to be that Trump would make it even worse.
But it's...
That's such an interesting point,
especially on foreign policy, man,
because, you know, we had kept,
we kept hearing that Trump had destroyed
and tarnished America's standing in the world, you know?
And Biden wasn't only going to bring us back
to normalcy domestically,
but he was going to restore Americaica's prestige and honor and shit
but like with everything else and again this this is not to say that trump would have been better
or trump was better about this but it's just to say that everything that they were saying that
well if trump it would be worse if trump did it it's all happening under biden i mean actually to
you know we you know a lot of what we talk about is kind of backgrounded against like this decaying empire, this neoliberal project, whatever you want to call it.
Like, I often think about like how much of that would have happened anyway, you know, like the erosion of America's standing, you know, because of this sort of imperial blowback.
You know what I mean? Imperial exhaustion.
imperial blowback you know what i mean imperial exhaustion so that even if it was somebody like elizabeth warren or hillary clinton or elizabeth warren or bernie sanders i mean it would have
been the same fucking thing regardless of who would have been you know what i mean
it just so happens that it seems to be collapsing and deteriorating even faster under biden
because tapioca is swishing around in his fucking skull you know what i mean it's outdated
like i took a bite of some trader joe's overnight oats and they were rancid
that's what it is the historiography on biden is really fascinating like i was i went back to
uh an article from june 2021 that rebecca tracer wrote for new york magazine and the whole gist of that article was
there's two things one biden's going to run by dynamics by basically pulling in all the warren
people he pulled in all of warren's economists to basically implement what became the inflation
reduction act and everything her of hospitals. Her hospital should compete for resources, right?
Yes.
Or should be docked essential resources if they don't perform to certain standards.
She said, what was her line after the Al-Hali hospital got bombed?
The hospital explosion was deeply wrong.
Didn't she say that?
Wasn't she one of the people to also talk about
uh the blast she was the first people to propagate the blast the blast was deeply wrong the blast was
deeply wrong but in fairness the hospital was underperforming so jesus christ she who could say
so like but so it's interesting to like um you know, perennial loser Elizabeth Warren, like he basically pulled in all of Warren's people to run Bidenomics.
That was the first takeaway from that article, which is fascinating, right?
Because that article was written before the Inflation Reduction Act and before a lot of those like big cornerstone policies of what would become Bidenomics.
The second thing, which... Okay, go ahead.
Even when you say Bidenomics,
cornerstone policies,
I don't even know what they are.
But maybe that's just because I'm a dumbass.
I don't pay attention, but you know.
One of them is like the Chips and Science Act,
I think is another one of them.
So everybody get Chips and Science?
Like reparations?
You get Chips and Science?
Chips and Salsa?
The Chips and Salsa Act?
Okay, whatever. whatever we go all right go ahead the second the second thing that i took away from this article which is a big and fascinating was that the people who
like there's this there's this quote in there from,
is it Jayapal?
Is it Pramila Jayapal?
Pramila Jayapal.
What is that, Tom?
Yeah, that's her name.
There was this quote in there from her, and they were talking about how they all understood
that Biden had a liability,
that Biden had a liability, which was that he basically pushed the tough on crime policies of the 90s. He was instrumental in launching the Iraq war. And so they all had to like
work backwards and try to pose him as the candidate who had listened and learned.
He had learned deeply from his past mistakes, and he was going to change and be a better person now.
Because this is what this quote says.
Biden seems to have learned.
He seems to, he says, she says,
to see that black women and indigenous people and poor people and Latinos and Asians
delivered states that he never thought he could win.
He has turned out to be somebody who learned things that probably would contradict what he did in the past.
Wait, so bro, so you're telling me this motherfucker thinks that these people's lives matter because they helped him win the presidency?
Yeah.
At 80-something years old?
That is so grim dude that
seems a bit transactional right and what what one might term a fake friend exactly a fake ass friend
if you will yeah fake ass friend that's an ass friend yeah That's an ass, ass, ass friend. I just find it interesting because if he was the candidate who was supposed to overturn neoliberalism with biodynamics,
and that's one.
Two, learn from his mistakes.
He has comprehensively failed on both counts.
You could say he's done the exact opposite.
He's went out of his way to do the opposite on both counts.
Did y'all see that clip going around of, I think, to be fair, it was a Kamala Harris event.
But still, the clip going around of them not allowing those women into the event who were wearing hijabs.
What?
Yeah.
They were turning people away at the door if they were wearing hijabs.
Because they thought they were going to have some protest.
Why are you choosing us not to go in when we have an invite?
Right.
You specifically singled us out.
That's racist.
Is it because we have hijabs?
I'm happy to talk to someone else.
It is.
It is.
That's crazy.
I was afraid of this.
That's crazy.
You singled us out of everybody.
What?
Isn't that against Democrats? You singled us out of everybody. Isn't that against Democrats?
Post campaign?
That's very Islamophobic.
That's very racist.
I'm sorry.
Are you?
The same thing at the Australian Open.
You show up wearing a keffiyeh, they
sent you the other way.
No shit?
Yeah.
Go ahead, Tom. I don't said i think people you're seeing that everywhere
now it's like you can't go in certain places and yeah you said jeff jeffrey
he's the way he's the only only free man in the world he'll wear his coffee
yo yo did it did it you guys uh you guys might remember
this better than i do but wasn't it a couple days ago that man who was it man uh you got the
i don't remember but um wasn't somebody asked somebody told it was some arab american like a
muslim group that was like saying that they were going to campaign against biden you know and i think a journalist or a reporter had asked a biden spokesperson about that yeah and and pretty
much yeah what was their response like it was pretty much like they just don't give a shit
that what it was i think i have it at the top of my bookmarks um what it was was they had asked one of the spokespeople at the Biden White House.
They said White House, when asked what Biden's message is to Arab Americans as he visits Michigan tomorrow, this was their response.
Israel has a right to defend itself.
Oh, that's going to play well.
Dude, that is so.
Dude, because like, I mean, dude, I don't even know, man, because it was that saying to... Dude, because, like, I mean...
Dude, I don't even know, man.
Because what's that saying to them is that, like,
if it means that Arabs must die for...
But, of course, he doesn't look at it that way, right?
Which is just, again, just so...
I mean, we've talked about this so much,
but it's just so absurd to me
how he is aiming and driving towards, like, a car crash, you know?
Towards something, you know, that he could easily avoid. I mean, I don't know if he could easily avoid at this point you know well but it's
just it's just it's it's interesting like you know because you've got thomas friedman in the
new york times today saying a biden doctrine for the middle east is forming and it's big
and it's like dude i mean at this point like all I can really chalk up to this guy is just senile stubbornness.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just that's the foreign policy now.
It's just there's not even really any deep calculus or thinking behind it.
Like, there's another op-ed in the New York Times today,
How Biden Beats Trump.
This is from Chris Wh whipple what is with
these names bro chris whipple chris nibble he wrote a book titty yeah titty boy
titty boy man in my city yeah they call me titty yeah
uh chris whipple wrote a book called the fight of His Life Inside Joe Biden's White House
The Fight of His Life
The Fight of His Life
The premise of this article is how
Biden could turn things around
And he admits up front
That he's done a terrible job admitting
About how Bidenomics has failed
And about how he's let down muslim
americans and everything he admits all that he concedes all that up front he admits our
body's a complete failure it's most of those limp dick presidents in modern history but that being
said do i also have degenerative brain disease sure i do that's like I wear a diaper everywhere I go? Of course. It starts with that. Yeah.
Like, I, like, what he does is he, like, lays down some tips on how, because I guess he
worked on Biden's 2020 campaign, and he's like, he lays down some tips on how Biden
could win.
And one of them is that Biden needs to hit, he needs to come out strong with a recovery
narrative about how, like, you know, Trump ruined the country and Biden made it great again.
Or how he's going.
Make America great again?
Or Biden fulfilled Trump's promise to make America great?
But that's a hard needle to thread, even for the uninitiated
who are paying like $13 for a box of oatmeal right now.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, right. Yeah. It's going to be a tough sell. That's the Will Stansel thing, right? who are paying like $13 for a box of oatmeal right now. You know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's going to be a tough sell.
That's the Will Stancil thing, right?
It's like basically just telling people that what they see and know to be true when it comes to like, you know, economics in their daily lives is not the case.
There's actually a 13th dimensional chess you don't understand
because you didn't go to the University of Minnesota School of Government.
Actually, there's a ninth dimensional demon
that tells me specifically.
Named Earth Rider.
Asmodemos, aka Earth Rider.
We're gonna meet Earth Rider.
We're gonna meet Earth Rider.
He's gonna come like yeah he's
gonna come to he's gonna come to america playing singing jethro toll and like split the mississippi
can i tell y'all how i imagine he shows up well he's just a little guy he's just on your shoulder
he's just like hey hey y Hey, how y'all doing?
Y'all got any crystals around here?
Then you, like, flick him off.
Be gone, Satan.
He just goes,
He crawls out of your, like,
your pen pocket.
Out of your shirt pocket.
Puts his little bits up.
My body's calling me earth rider
um
okay so yes
he should listen to earth rider
on his shoulder
uh
and um there's another tip here
he should attack trump man this is
hard hitting stuff he should become a
populist for all americans
um having had israel's back on october 7th mr biden should now publicly denounce its near
indiscriminate bombing of gaza uh not happening not happening so he should be trump in every way
except he should he should he should call israel out pretty much i love all these are premised on
the idea that he'll listen that he's not just reading this that he's not just a stubborn 82 year old man
who's just gonna fucking do whatever he wants to do exactly um i mean like there was a fucking quote
like one of the press people asked john kirby like are you going to is biden going to listen to the american people on this and kirby was like
that's an incredible question to ask it's like it's like no it's like not on board but more
than half of american people support the end of the ceasefire you know i mean it's like this is
the science is in on it um go ahead no you no no i just want to i just want to like kind of uh uh uh uh if i could like
couch this in if anyone has an elderly relative or parent family member whatever right very
stubborn yo you know what i mean very stubborn and i mean you know i don't even mean to humanize
or sympathize with joe biden because he's the fucking leader of the free world you
know he's most powerful man in the world and it's just insane to me that somebody like josh kirby
and all these other people and people around him right it's like the retinue right the retinue
the king's retinue while he's dying you know he's not even dying on the bed technically i guess he's
propped up you know like some fucking bernie's fucking weekend shit like you know what i mean
but they're just kind of waiting you know waiting for him to fucking i mean i don't know dog it's it's
i want to say it's elder abuse but he's also a genocide heir so he has regents yeah you're right
um but like this is the funniest one this is the funniest advice for biden let biden be biden
the president can't run effectively if he's kept under wraps by overprotective advisors.
Despite his age and occasional verbal stumbles,
he often rises to the occasion in unscripted moments.
I want you all to listen to these moments
where he rose to the occasion in unscripted moments.
Think of the 2023 State of the Union address
when he outwitted gop hecklers or more
recently when he appeared in the white house's roosevelt room and blasted republicans in congress
for failing to pass funds for ukraine and israel okay like those aren't really i wouldn't exactly
consider those like cicero levels of public oratory. Remember when he didn't fall asleep? Remember when he stood up
and walked forward?
But this one killed me, man.
Badgered by a reporter about
allegations of corrupt foreign deals
with his son Hunter, he called
them, quote, a bunch of lies.
A bunch of lies. He killed it.
He killed it, man.
Mustard a lot there this one is
asked if any other democrat could beat mr trump the president parried probably 50 of them but i
will defeat him how is that witty dog yo it's like you know this is like this is like when trump
drank that water you know what i mean it wasn't COVID or some shit? I don't know what it was, bro, but he drank some water,
and people were like, the right were like, look at this.
Look at the way.
Look at the poise.
It's his hands.
It's his fingers.
Grip the glass.
It was very homoerotic.
But, like, you know, it was just like,
are you congratulating this man for not being dead?
Yeah, for not spilling water down his chin.
Dude, that's the thing.
They fundamentally do not understand that, like, yeah for not spilling water down his chin dude like that's the thing they don't they
fundamentally do not understand that like that quote says it all biden himself admitted probably
50 other democrats could beat trump but i am the one who's going to do it like because not even not
even i'm the best one to do it but who else is there to do it and there's no one else to do it have you heard some
people say that they're just going to use biden to beat trump and then once that happens then
they'll remove him and put somebody else in there whatever i've heard i've heard people talk about
that with kamala right that's that's the most batshit thing i've ever heard like that that's
so delusional man i've heard people float that hillary could get the uh
could get put in there by the way we should go stand up during the convention
you're gonna stand up during the convention and the spotlight isn't gonna able
and everybody's gonna be like she's gonna be like that norman rockwell painting be hillary
her moment exactly dude that that tweet she had about barbie hillary barbie like
the one where oh my god dude i i swear to god i was laughing so fucking hard because that happened
the same night that the bright the the brew the brew beer beer there's the writer thanks for the
great lakes like that that happened at the same time and i was like dude i mean
follow me on this i am more convinced than ever that that hillary is probably she's got to be
like an a diplomatic envoy sent from like the nearest intergalactic planetary system they were
like you're gonna have some shit yeah like go undercover with their race and understand their ways and build diplomatic ties with them
yeah and do reconnaissance basically yeah yeah it's like they just have like a reasonable facsimile
of what human life is like not really like yeah having experienced it themselves you know yeah
it's like it's like when the hot sauce in the bag just not even harp on about it just an amazing experience because someone posted this the other
day and dude you know you hear about these moments right and you don't file them away this is not a
horrifying thing you file away like knowing that the u.s can invade the hague at any time right
talked about with alex alex last week but this was just like something that in a campaign of
absurdities you just forget about right and she went on she went on i forgot what radio show was man but what hip-hop radio show like charlamagne i think yeah it was charlamagne
bro and she she you know did the hot sauce in the back thing but you know what she said you know
what she said that i forgot about she said did it work she said oh did it work as in did it work
into pandering you know you know what i mean like did it work did you like that and dude like as
you're saying terrence to confirm this is what in mean, an alien wouldn't even say did it work because they don't want to blow their fucking cover.
You know what I mean?
Right, right.
I just I just know, like, she goes home and she takes off the human mask.
And like, there's like a mouth with like 300 incisor, like fucking sharp teeth, like something horrifying that like if you saw it
they're consensually going down to like her throat like god that's horrifying if you heard her real
name it would probably shatter your heart instantly like oh the human tongue cannot
pronounce her real name brother it's not added anatomically capable she is not human I swear to god dude Hilary Barbie
there's not
it's not real
it can't be oh shit all right well um okay so like where i wanted to go on the biden thing while we're still
talking about it uh or the biden max boot thing about how like trump would destroy the u.s-led
world order um like when we sat down to talk with alexander avina on the premium episode this past
week i had wanted to talk with him about the icj case and the public like moral outrage freak out moral panic about the unrwa
workers and like we didn't really get to that we did touch on it with him a little bit but like we
didn't really get to dig into it um and like the reason i wanted to talk about it was because
it um and like the reason i wanted to talk about it was because the two events were so obviously close together they were so obviously connected the like the icj case right like when the icj
like we recorded an episode with lily lynch last week that was thursday on friday the icj came out
with this like temporary ruling and the way it was released was um
i don't know about you guys but on my timeline a lot of people were uh there was there was a lot
of debate over it like is it a point in israel's column is it a point for the palestinians like
how should we interpret this good for the future for like a united front i mean that's the way that
i was thinking about it right or maybe not or is this just like you know another hollow gesture of
some sort exactly and i and that's the thing it's like i saw some people saying that like the icj
failed palestinians um and they sided with the west they sided with us and israel and then i
but then at the same time i saw people like ali abunima and yusuf
munair saying stuff like um actually this is a huge blow to israel and i was like okay that's
interesting like i you know hadn't thought of that well um if it wasn't clear then i feel like
it became absolutely obvious once there erupted this huge outrage over the possibility that like 12 UN relief workers
had participated in the October 7th attacks.
And I don't know if you guys...
So that's because I had missed out on all this completely.
So is that the accusation that was being made?
Because, I mean, to me, and given the propaganda that we've seen for the past couple months,
this sounds absolutely fucking absurd.
Yeah.
Right?
Like, this is like, I mean, I don't know anything about the UN and its hiring practices
and how people get, like, you know, get background checks.
But, I mean, come the fuck on, dog.
You think they just let people walk in there you know what
i mean yeah like they're picking up dudes outside of a home depot that want to work on your kitchen
or some shit dog like what are you fucking talking like like i don't i i just go ahead
terrence it's just insane that people believe in that kind of shit dog well i think the thing is is
the i think the thing is is that like i i also like you aaron i was kind of in and out last weekend
like i wasn't really reading the news that diligently so then i checked in on the story
on monday when we sat down to record with alex and turns out that the story is even more absurd
than you could possibly imagine so like eight different countries pulled aid funding to the unrwa as a result of this as a result as a result of this story
on our patreon on our patreon episode alexander called them the axis of genocide these eight
countries how do you guys a good way to look at it that was very good um but like
the reason they did this it was entirely as a result of evidence and information provided by Israel.
It had nothing to do with them independently finding this or like a news outlet like Al Jazeera or even CNN or something finding this.
It was entirely.
Trust me, bro situation.
It was a trust me, bro situation.
It was entirely because Israel went to the United States and said, look, they did this.
There was the same fucking day that this icj ruling by the way i think most of these
confessions from these unrwa workers were obtained through torture um but i think the thing is i
you know i once again like and also i just want to point out that like on the same day there was like a conference
I don't know if y'all saw this there was a conference held
where like 12 Israeli ministers
were handing out flyers and maps
about the resettlement of Gaza
one said that Israel had a claim to former
Arab neighborhoods on the basis that quote
King Herod granted it to them
yo King Herod
King Herod that famous hero of the bible
the guy who by the way it was good guy yeah so they tried to murder all the hebrew children
i was yes exactly the guy who tried to kill baby jesus yeah like that was what he was known for oh my god dude dude again again i just
think it's also just like hey you know this is not knocking anyone's faith man but you know i'm
trying to think of an example or an analogy or a parallel in which you could use a fictitious
or bomb or or or something that if if at least it happened somewhat historically or has historical parallels, it's obviously like a lesson to be taught and told to people, a moralistic lesson.
Right.
I'm just thinking of like, what if we did that about like, what if I decided to like, you know, run a society based off of the great like i don't know
like i don't fucking know dog like like or 19 like what i don't even know when that movie came
out she's got game you know what i'm saying like i just don't understand bro like it's like i don't
know the michael bay movie armageddon exactly exactly yeah it's like um we actually have claim to this we we actually have claim to this asteroid because it's like um actually have claim to this we actually have claim to this
asteroid because it's like there's no asteroid bro this doesn't exist the asteroid was granted
to us by the 1995 michael bay film armageddon where bruce willis is hired to drill into this
asteroid so it's ours it's ours that really is the goddamnedest thing i've ever heard
could you imagine being like a like a uh uh like a judge in america and somebody coming for you with
a deed from king herod two two thousand years ago two thousand years king here okay interesting Okay. Interesting.
What am I supposed to do with this?
Yeah.
I don't speak Aramaic, for one.
Let's just start there.
I don't speak any of these dead languages.
The parallels, you're right, are weird.
Just that King Herod was, yes, he tried to kill all the children in like bethlehem not a good not historically a good guy in the scripture
um that's like right up there with like king nebuchadnezzar
uh-huh um i think the point to be made here is that there this is not a fucking coincidence right it's like
okay if that was true why did israel sit on this information for three months why is it just now
coming out and it's just obvious that like what they're trying to do is because like obviously
the thing you immediately saw after this news dropped was that like the un is hamas hamas is the un granted like i think that it's probably a fool's errand for anybody
to put any faith in like international institutions at this point like the un or the icj or anything
sure however in the same way that i do think there's utility in even doing stuff like uh
running people for uh da you know what i'm saying like like running people for DA.
You know what I'm saying?
Like running people, like doing things to like force the contradictions out into the open.
Doing disruptive, doing things that are truly disruptive.
Yes.
And to call out the kind of like blatant flimsiness at the heart of these legal frameworks and institutions.
I do think that like the fact that israel is going so hard
to discredit the international community does say something about it and i think it does say
something about the utility of what the houthis are doing and what south africa is doing in the
icj um i don't really have anything beyond that to say i just again there's just not a fucking
coincidence there it's just obvious that israel is just like trying to discredit the international community in any way possible yeah yeah well i
mean it's like any it's like any uh what any hegemony any hegemonic power um does right you
know uh they kind of over they overshoot you know what i mean like any any any power any power that they exercise you know
to uh to quell any resistance any protests or anything like that is an admission that they're
not just afraid but they're also weak you know yeah to some extent you know what i mean so i
mean lashing out like this it's like i mean not only is it like sort of juvenile like it's like
if it wasn't an issue of you know um like like just i mean i mean
just it's a genocide happening you know yeah you would think that it was like a childish high
school kind of tit for tat you know what i mean like oh you're gonna do this to me i think i'm
gonna do this to you it's just like it's just i don't know i saw somebody kind of describe
the way that the israelis conduct themselves um at the un whether it was marching in with the
stars of david you know patched onto them yeah you know it's just so whiny dog it's so completely
whiny when it's like dude you have the monopoly on violence right now right yeah it's just it's
it makes it just disgusting you know would somebody feel sorry for the bloodthirsty maniacs
right exactly exactly yeah it, but it's the same
shit as cops saying
that they're an aggrieved, targeted group.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
And a cop could just come into our house
and beat the hell out of us anytime they wanted to
or kill us, and they wouldn't suffer
any consequences for it. Exactly.
Just like these little fuckers.
It's the guy with his fucking boot
on your neck,
talking about his tendon and his heel is hurting him,
and maybe you should ease up and let him take his foot off.
Exactly, right.
Like, you sprained my foot because I pushed it into your neck.
Exactly.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Well, I think that that's, you know, we're over an hour.
It's probably a good place to end it.
Well, I think that that's, you know, we're over an hour.
It's probably a good place to end it.
But I just, you know, I just cease to be amazed at how long these motherfuckers can keep running this game like this.
Like, I don't know.
I just I saw this.
I saw a press conference with Matthew Miller a few days ago where one of the reporters was like pressing him on that video that emerged by the way dude i don't know
some of the craziest fucking like videos and images have come out in the last like week
for example like a bunch of videos and images have emerged from back last month when we saw
all those guys and men being rounded up and taken away well it turns out that they were just
executed and dumped in a ditch like yeah i saw that this morning and and then
there was a video of this was in the west bank but israeli soldiers had raided a hospital dressed as
doctors yep one of them was like in a wheelchair doctors and patients it's like and so like there
was a reporter pressing matthew miller on this like I said on Twitter, like I've never really seen Matthew Miller,
like this kind of just like fatigued.
He was just honestly just kind of just like,
usually he does his whole like derisive,
like I'm glad you have the more facts than we do,
blah,
blah,
blah.
But this time he didn't even really commit to that.
He was just like,
we were raising concerns and having difficult conversations.
That's just all they say.
That should be the campaign slogan of 2024.
Frank conversations.
Frank conversations.
I mean, it's just...
Straight Talk Express.
Bring back the Straight Talk Express.
Straight Talk Express.
I don't mean to pathologize these people, man,
because at the end of the day,
they're all complicit in a genocide.
But it just reminds me of Ta-Nehisi Coates going on Democracy Now! At the end of the day, they're all complicit in a genocide, you know.
But, you know, it just reminds me of Ta-Nehisi Coates going on Democracy Now!
I think a couple months ago, late last year.
And talking to Amy Goodman about sort of like how do these people go to sleep at night, you know?
You know what I mean?
And how do they continue to keep up this facade?
And it's not because I care about John Kirby's's soul you know i don't give a fuck he doesn't have a soul but it's just
it's just you know those guys have punched their ticket i don't think there's exactly i don't think
you can get salvation at this point that's off the table for these guys exactly but for the sake
but for the sake of the palestinian people you know you know for for i
mean just it's just how long can you keep this charade going man and it's not even a charade
anymore because it's not like they're it's like it seems to be like what you said terrence is like
they're not even trying to tell you i mean yes of course they're trying to tell you that something
that's happening isn't happening but they don't even have answers anymore you know it's almost
like a shrug like a verbal shrug yeah it is they what they have done
this is fascinating watching it evolve from october and november in october and november
they were saying well uh israel has the right to defend itself which they still say but that's not
their go-to anymore their go-to response now is we're raising concerns and having difficult
conversations yeah that's all they say which is which is just
i mean i mean but that's the classical that's the classical liberal playbook right
is that they're they constantly say oh well we're talking about this or we're going to
we hear you discuss this oh yeah we hear you we're gonna exactly we see you we hear you exactly dog
yeah man it's uh yeah yeah it just doesn't bode well that the two hegemonic political blocks in America
are this disconnected from reality.
Like, I'm serious.
Like, and I know it's a very trite point,
but I really want people to ruminate on that for a minute.
Like, you've got QAnon and BlueAnon.
It's like, again, a trite point.
But like, I would, it's just, it's not even that like,
I disagree with the liberals on politics. Like, of do that's always been the case i would just like them to acknowledge basic
fucking reality at this point i mean i thought that's like you said before i mean you know i
don't know how much i really believe this but i do believe that that tenuous connection right
that you know you could look at something you know and say
okay like this is true and this is happening you know what i mean and i mean especially this goes
to like anything you can observe like science so you know i mean as biden said you know we got to
believe in the science you know but i mean with this one case it's like i mean it is truly like
the blue maga right you know it's like we can believe
in science we can believe the numbers when it comes to climate change and we can believe
the economy and but when it comes to i mean actually they do believe that there are 30,000
dead kids they don't care you know again they just don't care it's a verbal shrug it's a mental shrug
you know well i've just been thinking about this in light of like the biden administration stance and honestly i feel like it's perfectly
embodied you kind of saw glimpses of it with like aoc still sort of selling the left down the river
in that ryan grimm book but like the best embodiment of it i think is fetterman who is like
completely like he has gone whole hog not only into israel but that biden's immigration stance
probably at the cost of his marriage i know that like i know that he had to drop like a proof of
wife picture today like him and his or yesterday like oh it's date night but it's like bro giselle
giselle was with me last night dog that's her name right yeah okay anyway i mean it's just like dude yeah betterman is i don't know man
she's she's yeah do it do it do it i i i just i just i don't know i i feel like this
in the future i i think that it will probably be obvious that 2023-24 was like the year that
like progressivism that like vague political term we've been throwing
around since obama like finally was a dead letter yeah right yeah no i know i agree with that man
i agree with that because i think i think this is i know about to close out but i think this is the
one issue that like i mean it's just it's not it's a non-negotiable issue you know what i mean like
do you either support like you know
the palestinian liberation with no conditions yeah or are you one of those waffley motherfuckers you
know right do you support kids in cages at the border or you know exactly exactly exactly exactly
yeah now that's an interesting yeah that was the litmus test last election yeah and now we have
like the act of murdering of children that theoretically these same people
say they care about that is that still going to be paramount for you in this one or or because
it's your guy you know are you no longer concerned about the children yeah exactly it is wild it's
it is wild like that that article by chris whipple that read, like it does get at something, which is that they have nothing else to run on.
They don't even have kids in cages at the border anymore because they themselves came out last week and literally said this is the toughest border policy ever seen in America.
Dude, all you have left, like I mentioned before, all you have left is scolding people.
You know what I mean?
Scolding people and trying to
make them vote scolding make them feel bad that's it and bullying them essentially you know there
could be something else afoot here too it's like you know how i mean you know like like george
mcgovern's sort of president presidential campaign was sort of the sacrificial end of the new deal
right like they wanted to crucify it in public
and it was the biggest blowout in political history maybe biden's fallen on a sort of a
kind maybe there's something else symbolically afoot dude all this like because it makes no
goddamn sense on any logical level well you know i i don't know how accurate this is i don't know
how good this information is but i was
talking to someone last week who has a lot of friends that work in california in like the
electoral whatever and they were saying that like when diane feinstein was like in her last like
months like her and her daughter i think even like last year's they were they were both like
no diane probably needs to step down like this is and they were they were both like no diane probably needs to
step down like this is and they were saying that like it was the democratic party who was the ones
that were like no she needs to stay there she needs to stay she's got a base she's got like
support she will stay and see out the rest so you mean you're telling me that these people who not
only like kill babies but also like necromancers dog
god they bring you out like a rag man they get every drop and i i have to assume that's probably
by like biden's stubbornness right is a big part of it but i do think that stubbornness is reflected
back from the democratic party itself who was just like well there's no alternative
we've got nothing else in the tank like but i mean he's gonna do it dude i don't know i've
mentioned this before but it's like you got people like lauren bobert and i guess he had
madison cawthorne and he had um yeah margie taylor green of course but it seems like every cycle you
have this new crop of right-wing psychos you know. And it's like with the Democrats, when you get someone like an AOC or Rashida Tlaib is a better example.
You know, what do you do?
You fucking vilifier.
Right.
Or I guess you could say the squad writ large.
But a lot of those people have fallen in line.
You know, someone like Rashida Tlaib, you know, who they can easily single out.
You know what I mean?
It's obviously fucking racist. It's just like, I don't know, man. It's like they don't can easily single out. You know what I mean? It's obviously fucking racist.
It's just like, I don't know, man.
It's like they don't even give those people, you know what I'm saying?
They don't give those people a platform, you know?
They reign them in.
Whereas the Republicans let those people who are the vanguard, right, of their reactionary
and truly more connected to the base than someone like fucking, I don't fucking know.
I always want to think of uh uh
john boner or whatever like that but you know what i mean like somebody who was like a quote
moderate a mitt romney i guess you know my bad terms go ahead sorry i was just gonna say that
like on the within the democratic party there's probably two forms of these of the new type of
politician one of which is like Buttigieg.
I don't know why I said it like that.
Buttigieg.
Buttigieg.
Sounds like you were saying that to the microphone.
It's like Buttigieg and Kamala who don't,
they don't understand politics.
They don't know how to actually.
They don't understand people. They don't understand politics they don't know how to actually they don't understand people they don't understand people right but then there's there's like whitmer and you know
our governor basheer who like their policies are just like liberal boilerplate liberal but they
are stacy abrams type of figure as well right well they i would say stacy well stacy probably
more of a throwback even
than that you know yeah i think that the thing is is they understand how to defeat their opponents
and how to that's true because stacy abrams no no they understand how to defeat and ostracize
their opponents in a way that like, is just standard political operation, going back to, like, fucking Machiavelli.
Like, that's it.
You don't even have to have a broad utopian vision.
And, again, I don't even—
You don't have to believe in anything.
Yeah, I don't even support these assholes.
Like, fuck them.
But at the same time, like, they understand, like, how to isolate and disarm their opponents.
And I think that, like, I don't know.
I guess we'll find out if
the democrats take that lesson but it seems like they want to go with the flashier
buddha judge and kamala route uh but it's more entertaining that's that is way more entertaining
i guess i mean listen if we could get if we could get if we could get uh daydread black people and
gay people in in you know in office even though the daydread but as bread, black people and gay people in office.
Even though they're Dane bread, but as long as they're black and gay, it's fine.
As long as we can get the aliens to wear the black and gay suits.
I got to put on the black suit again?
I don't want to put on the black suit.
We got two models for you.
We got black, we got gay.
Which way you going? We got black, we got gay. Which way you going?
We got black and gay, bro.
Dear God.
Alright.

Although, as we pointed out at the top of this
episode i think people are just being nice to us they're good episodes i think they're good but i
also think that people preferred if tom is on them you boys don't know how to take a compliment
people love tom man i know how to take a compliment bro i take compliments every fucking day you can't
accept that you're good at something i I don't know how to take criticism.
I'll tell you that much.
Not well.
Yeah, that is the two-edged sword.
I can't take a compliment,
and I damn sure can't take criticism.
God damn.
You just gotta be kind of neutral to me.
That's where you go into the zone
of not caring about anything at all.
