and one of the hosts of the great podcast on
This Here Network to back outcast, Caitlin Durante, a k
a Latin dancer U t I. Oh, but you got
more and another one got another Instagram A cat turned
in line? Oh yeah, that that makes sense. You're picturing

(01:29):
a cat taking a crab in like a perfect line,
as opposed to like, I imagine people queuing up for
something and there's a cat ship. You're just like in
line at the DMV and then you look down and
there's a cat and you're like, oh, I'm sorry, are you?
Are you next? Okay, this is weird. Well you got
another one. Yes, this is courtesy of at Jas of Spades,

It's just never yes. So as a cat turn in line,
he's one of the greats. So are you, And we're

(02:15):
thrilled to get to know you a little bit better.
But first we're gonna tell our listeners what we're gonna
be talking about today. We're gonna be talking about the
sort of friendship romance between Kanye and Drake that is
unfolding Twitter f enemies. We're gonna check in on the
hill where the kabinet hearing is ongoing. And also Marco

(02:37):
Rubio and Alex Jones almost got into a fist fight.
It was very, very weird, very like middle two high school,
but definitely not post those things. So we'll talk a
little bit about that dynamic. We're gonna talk about the
fact that fewer and fewer people are self identifying as Republicans,
and on the other side of the spectrum, a weird

(03:00):
thing where environmentalists like don't vote, apparently like super environmentalists
don't vote. We're gonna talk about a ten term incumbent,
Mike Capuano, who lost in a primary shock to Ayanna
Pressley him. And we're also going to talk about John

(03:22):
McCain's replacement, John Kyle, who he's a great guy. Yeah,
just all around super dude. He's a real Maverick yeah
real the Mel Gibson movie, Yes, and more Mel Gibson
on the set of the movie Maverick. Uh you know,
Mel's a real uh, real car hard yeah he oh
and and it works for Maverick because it's about cards.

(03:45):
Thank you. Um So that was Miles as joke, is
what he was getting at. But also Mel does pranks.
It's worth googling, like on set pranks from Mel Gibson
because they're all just like really weird and mean spirited.
He's the Holocaust didn't happen. You've been drank that. Uh.
We're gonna talk about the new Colin Kabernick nike yad

(04:07):
and the fact that Jack Dorsey, the man who runs Twitter,
is out here overruling staff decisions to d platform Alex Jones.
Alex Jones two fur for you guys today. Uh. And
finally we'll talk about a racist roybel call in Florida
that is just bonkers crazy like nineteen thirties racism. But

(04:30):
first Latin answer, U T I, what is something from
your search history that is revealing about who you are?
I googled Hindenburg movie because I was just curious if
that was even a thing about the Hindenburger disaster. Yes, okay,
and it turns out it is. It's a film from
I haven't seen it, hadn't heard of it. But I
keep thinking that like a James Cameron type should make

(04:54):
a Hindenburg movie allah Titanic but only five minutes long.
However long it takes for the Hindenburg completely below. What
did do it hit like a power line and just
blew up because the gas inside was flammable or something
was a hydrogen gas yea, And was there a thing
like it was like the Ship of Dreams. I think

(05:17):
they should establish like a two hour love story, right,
and then that plays out on the screen and then
I guess five minutes of disaster right the first time
it's on the ground, and then he's like, Okay, well,
i'll see you in the next town. I'll watch I'll
wave you goodbye. Hindenburg. There's really like incredible footage of

(05:37):
the actual Hindenburg going up in flames, isn't there. There's
a lot of photographs. There's a lot of photos. I
remember I thought that was what led Zeppelin was the
Hindenburg photo, Like, I didn't know that that was a
historical event because you know, they used that image one
and I was like damn. And then when I found out,
I was fucked up, as I like a thirteen year
and I was like, wait, what I thought was a logo?

(05:59):
But it turns out New Jersey, Manchester Township, New Jersey. Yeah,
super producer Nick Stuff is speaking into our ears and
telling us that there was a potentially a live news
broadcast that was taking place while the Hindenburgh was coming
in for a landing. Because not a lot happened back then.
They were like, hey, landing of this big balloon thing

(06:20):
that has a name, and uh that is where we
first heard the phrase, oh the humanity. Oh wow. So
he had that one locked and loaded. Scream insanity. What
is something you think is overrated? Caitlin, this is dumb?
But wow, the waters but that one just just our

(06:44):
show and sh okay, I guess the dumb ship. I
hate alives. They're just come on, just like I wasn't
expecting that this was done. And he's like, I hate olives. Okay,
they're dumb all olives, not just all olives. What do

(07:07):
you mean? What do you what do you like about
all disgusting? Holy sh it? Do you sound like eight
year old meat and the pizza? I know me too. Yeah.
I hated olives and now I love them. I see.
I thought that might happen, right, because there's a lot
of foods I hated as a candidate now appreciate. And
I just could never texture flavors to salty. It's mostly
the flavor. It just tastes like sour toilet water. I

(07:29):
don't know, my god, you've drink sour toilet water. You
know you have a basis for comparison. I don't. I
mean they just taste like all of them. Olives are bad. Well,
black olives. I feel like that was the only olive
flavor that I first had encountered as a child. And
then once I started eating like spiced seasoned olives, I
was like, wait, this is the fucking wave, those like

(07:49):
purple ones from Greece or and then I like month
from Yo because those ones have like anchovies inside. And yeah,
I know every everybody's just that's crazy. Yeah, these really
horny fish. They just impregnant and olive. But no, it's
uh I man, I've really come around to olives. And

(08:10):
I love dirty martinis. You know what I mean. That's
all olive, Brian, thank you? No, thank you? Fine, what
is something that's underrated? As you can tell, I have
exquisite taste. So I love cheap boxed wine, which you're
really coming out as a cultural esthete refined. I love friends, Frenzia, Yes,

(08:34):
at the supper clubs that we go to together. I
think it's just like very cost effective. Hell yeah, environmentally friendly.
I think right, there's a space bag. I feel like
it's worse than glass though, because it's not as recyclable
question mark, but it uses less glass. But that doesn't
necessarily mean that's better because it is a bladder or

(08:55):
space bag as we called it. Yeah, it does feel
like astronaut is yeah, because it's like almost like my
large thing, like where it's reflective. I don't know any
wine conservations people, people who know about that. Let me know.
Is it considered bad form to like suck the remainder
out like it's a capri son, like when you're like,
how else would you? Personally? I don't think so it's

(09:16):
good for tote. I've never when I would in college
when we would drink it, I never drank it and
I pulled the space bag straight out with you like
a space bag. Yes, slap the bag? No, I was,
I was. I mean, I know about it, but by
the time that that the culture of slapped the bag
made it. I was the O G camelback guy where

(09:36):
I would duct tape a fucking space bag to my chest.
Now slap the bag the same game that we used
to play in eighth grade gym, locker rooms. No, no,
definitely not all right? Uh? Oh boy? Wait what else
you didn't you say? Also like seven eleven? The cheap
wine is kind of your thing, right, yeah? I mean
I would never spend more than ten dollars on a

(09:57):
bottle of wine. Why should you so? Right? I only
know two kinds of wine, screw top or cork. That's it.
I don't even know if there's red or white or
whatever the colors are. I used to drink about Carlo Rossi,
the Sangria jug shout out to Carlow. And then what else?
You have? A seven eleven Kenwood or Kendall Jacksons? Have
no yellow oak woodbridge or one of those barefoot Yeah? Yeah,

(10:22):
all good stuff. Welcome to high society. We don't like
all this. What we like seven liven wine? Have you
ever just tried pop Off vodka? That's a very efficient
two dollars per bot. It's basically rubbing alcohol that you
can drink. Yeah, very bad. Uh? And finally, what is

(10:42):
a myth? What's something people think is true that you
know to be falls speaking of being frugal, it's hearing money. Um,
you might think that I like this like it. I
feel like I'm watching it already cracking up, which I'm
watching a YouTube instructional video. Okay, so you might think

(11:05):
that that you need to spend money on weights if
you want to do weightlifting. Yes, it's one of my
main expenses. But the truth is your work shopping? Are

(11:26):
you work shopping material right now? It is just something
I do. Okay, I'm sorry. So you might think that
you got to spend money to lift money. The truth
is spend money to lift money? Uh what I do?
You can do what I do and um, I lift
weights by using a jug of laundry detergent. Okay, yeah

(11:48):
that's a good hack. That's a good hack. And look
how built I am. Yeah yeah, you got wings on
the side. Uh yeah, you know. I remember like when
I was fourteen, I was just fill up a suitcase
with a bunch of books and I was just pressed
the suitcase on the floor. Yeah you gotta you have
to come up with waiting improvise. Yeah, my entire musculature

(12:09):
is like unbalanced because I always carried. Back in my day,
it was cool to carry your backpack only one and
I carried because I have really bad a d D.
I would carry all my books with me because otherwise
I'd lose them. And so like I just looked in
the mirror one day and like I had like a
huge trap on like one side, and like nothing babies

(12:30):
back so developed the bag. It was really weird. I
just carried all my books too, But that was because
I hated going to my locker and I wanted all
that time during nutrition to just sunk around. Yeah, why Miles,
what would happen to you at your locker? Man? They
would just you know, make fun of my E D
and stuff. And I've alread here nor there. Yeah, look,
you're you're honest at one high school rally and then

(12:51):
your life changes suddenly. I thought it was a safe
space anyway. Yeah, high school PEP rallies usually are. But yeah,
but maybe I took a risk talking about my at
the homecoming rally. But you know I had to make
it about me, all right. Well that's that's a good hack.
Thank you, Kavi. I'm sorry what brand of detersing to use?
Very curious. Oh I try to do like seventh generation.

(13:14):
Oh you keep real hippie Dippi crunch. I'm one of
those environmentalists who doesn't vote Oh yeah, I know, because
I was like, you know, by Hillary, feel like, all right,
let's talk something important is apologizing to Drake on Twitter.
So there is sort of a conspiracy theory going around

(13:35):
that the first disc on Scorpion or the first side
Scorpion is all about how Drake had sex with Kim
Kardashian's A lot of people are reading that into that
because their lyrics, especially even on Sickle Mode on the
Travis Scott album, he's talked about made a right, went
down the block and then something something, But like when
you look at where they live in relation to each other,

(13:55):
he would have to go up the street and make
it right to go to Kim Kardashian's house or other
things like the know they us that he's friendly with
the Kardashian family in general, but I think that's her nickname.
Then there are just other shots he was taking about,
like you know that he could always be talking to
a hypothetical woman that he's courting. But a lot of
people were like, I think people just want to read
into this. I don't know how much substance there's to that.

(14:17):
Although I think Kim Kardashian or publicist came out like
that never happened. But one of the things that did
make sense was, like, you know, we talked about the
Push a T and Drake back and forth beef that
went on where you know, Drake was basically vaporized by
push It tease track the Adidam one where showed Dre
and black face and then talked about his unborn child

(14:38):
and you're hiding a child. You're hiding a child, which
is a line we did not expect in twenty eight team.
You know, but the theory is that, you know, Drake
was keeping this very secret, but he had been going
to Wyoming to like help Kanye on some music, and
people speculated that at that time he had let Kanye
know what his plans were. He's like, I got my
album come out in June, I'm probably gonna launch this

(14:59):
line and like introduced my child to the world and
blah blah blah. And that's why the people were scratching
their heads as to why, you know, Push a T
came at him like that, and a lot of people
just said, oh, it's Kanye West. You know. Suddenly Kanye
dropped like nine hundred albums every week like leading up
to Drake's thing, and they're just like, oh, you sort
of manipulated this information that you got from Drake to

(15:22):
just sort of propel your projects or whatever. And so
they were saying, that's why scory, But he's taking a
lot of shots at Kanye or whatever, being like, what
the funk was that about? I was just helping you,
and then you help your other artists record a dis
track about me. So Kanye is on Twitter and the
day before he posted a photo of like an image
from the Mego Strake tour and he said, sending good

(15:42):
energy and love to Drake and family and crew. I
haven't seen the show in person, but the images look
incredible online. I understand where the confusion started. And they're
like what, And then he says, let me start by
apologizing for stepping on your release date in the first place.
We were building a bond and working on music together,
including squashing the issues with Cutty at our office. When
I put the dates. Uh, I was a bit ramped
up doing twenty five tweets a day. TMC happened shortly after.

(16:04):
I have to hop on the plane. Now we'll type
more when I land plane taxing for takeoff. He's like
describing because we spoke about doing Lift Yourself together. I
should have given you the opportunity for us to do
this together before I released it, which is interesting. He
wanted to be on the whoop did he school? Which
that was probably a better beat than most things on
a UM. And then he says, since we're building as
friends and brothers, I should have spoken to Push about

(16:26):
the Quentin Miller bar. That's the line that Push a
t says an infrared that basically says that Quentin Miller
has been ghostwriting for Drake, which kicked off the whole thing.
And he said there should have been no songs with
my involvement that at any negative energy towards you. But
he really did say I did not have any conversations
about your child Wood Push it this okay, I don't
play with the idea of people's children. After I spoke
with was a few years earlier. So he's probably denying exactly.

(16:50):
But I don't know what is going on. I think,
but Connie has kind of been on an apology tour recently,
so this kind of fits into what's going on. He's
modulating between being just aggressive and then zen. It continues
to ramp up the mystery around what Drake's dis tract
was going to be because push A, like you said,

(17:12):
vaporized Drake. But then Drake was apparently planning his own
dis track that came back at Kanye and push that
j Prince the Mob from Mob ties on Drake's out
just basically dead it and like, you can't put this out.
It'll harm too many people. It'll harm families, it'll harm
people's careers. So other people like who had been in

(17:34):
conversations around that track, there was a quote that was
pulled us in like if this came out, Kanye would
have jumped off a building or something, so who knows
how messy that would have got. But right, but I
mean this, I think this is just Kanye being sensitive
and you know, living his life out loud. But it
does seem to fuel speculation that Drake has something on

(17:56):
Kanye whatever. Yeah, that he's like, hey, hey, I'm being
nice nice when yeah, we're friends, will claiming, And then
this last week, after this whole thread, he's like, this
is all Jedi level. I will be coming to your
show within the next seven days to give love and
be inspired by the art you have created. All Right,
they got his Jedi level. Yeah, you know, because if
it was Padawan boy, they're going means they're going to

(18:18):
the mattresses. Good to see those guys getting along. Yeah, yeah,
too insanely rich people who don't live in reality. Speaking
of messy drama, a lot of ship is going on
on Capitol Hill today. The Kavanaugh hearings are ongoing, getting
pretty contentious. There was pet lay He implying that Kavanaugh
was given hacked Democrat emails to prep for past hearings. Yeah.

(18:42):
Well so basically when Kavanaugh was working at the White
House for Bush, you know, part of his duties were
preparing Bush appointees nominees to guide them through the judicial
confirmation process. And he was saying, like, you know, part
of it is trying to figure out what senators are
going to ask during the hearings to kind of make
sure everyone's prepared. But Pat lay He was based saying, like,
you worked with the dude who stole emails from me,

(19:03):
and you gave him and he gave you information on
like very specific pointed things I wanted to talk about,
and you use that to like your advantage to kind
of figure out however you're gonna spin it and there
was like this whole very tense back and forth where
like Brett Kavanaugh was trying to play dumb, but Pat
Lay like had documents in front of him, was like,
is this email not from him? Talking about like with

(19:24):
my email? And then he's like, well, let me see,
and he like just took yeah. Yeah, Like you could
tell he was doing that thing where he was like, Okay,
what the bread, what the fun? You want to say here?
He's like, oh, I'm c seed here okay, and Pat
Lay is so I mean, he's also someone who is
slipping into senility before our eyes. Like watching him and
Chuck Grassley go back and forth, it was very painful.

(19:46):
But yeah, that was like a very painful moment. There's
another one where he was saying like, did you know
about these warrantless surveillance programs that the Bush White House
was going to engage in like post nine eleven act right,
And he was saying like, oh, well, there's there are
a few I don't know. In two thousand four, he
said he knew nothing of it, and then La he
played him a tape from like two thousand four or
six or something, and then he was like so at

(20:07):
that time you're saying, that's when you found out about it,
and he's like yeah, and he's like, well, when did
you start talking about these kinds of programs? Was it
maybe after nine eleven? And he's like, oh, I don't know.
And he looks at Chuck Grassley and he's like, well,
the Chairman has made some documents basically committee confidential, but
I believe if this were made public, this would jar
your memory in a way that you would be able
to answer me very clearly. And then Chuck Grassley was like,

(20:28):
it was like this whole remember it literally was the
sound of that whole thing. Yeah, it got a little
hot in there. But then then on the Republican side, well,
you know, Pat Lay, He's like where'd you get blah
blah blah, And then Lindsay Graham's like, did you hug
your kids last night? And what did you say? Kevanaugh
specifically said, and this is important information, guys, that he

(20:50):
gave his daughter a special hug. She gave him, she
gave him a special hug. But they also keep asking
him about nine eleven, Like one Republican senator was like,
what were you doing on nine eleven? And then another
was like there was that faithful day when two planes
struck the Twin Towers and one struck the Pentagon down here,
like it was like, yeah, no, we remember nine eleven.

(21:12):
You don't have to jog his memory, which I also saw.
But yeah, I think he they had to give him
that breathing space because like after the Democrats grill him,
although Diane Einstein could have gone a little bit harder
than they level it off by being like and when
you read to kill a Mockingbird, you actually didn't say
the N word even in your head as you read it,

(21:33):
correct because that's how not raisist you are, Like they
were bringing for some reason, he kept talking about to
kill a mockingbird and how like wokey it's it was
a strange thing. But again this is all it's all.
It's all theater, right, And just to kind of make
the stakes clear because his background, he is very anti
uh like Trump probably won't have to testify or you know,

(21:56):
be indicted if he is nominated, right, Well, yeah, that
I think That's the other thing is he has a
very generous view of executive power and basically like, yeah,
when you're president, you're king of everything. So or but
hiding under the idea of like, well, you can't be distracted,
but this man can't even color the American flag correctly.
And then apparently there was this case Roe v. Wade

(22:18):
that people keep talking about. You should have heard him
basically give the Wikipedia answer to it, because like Lindsay
Graham was like, you know, Roe v. Wade, and he
was just like, Wade was a case, Like it was
so odd. We're like, okay, we get it. You guys
worked on this before. But yeah, there's a lot of
issues that he would probably be a tie breaking vote
in the wrong direction, especially when you look at things

(22:38):
like labor and reproductive rights and the like. So meanwhile,
across town or across across the hallway, uh, Marco Rubio
and Alex Jones were on break from was it the
social media? Yeah, they were grilling Jack Dorsey and Google
was supposed to be there, but they fucking ghosted Google

(22:58):
just like didn't show up. That's how fucking powerful Google is.
They're just like, like, what do you want to say?
You're gonna march us up there so you can be
like your algorithm is shadow banning the concert, Like come on,
like you don't even know what shadow banning is uh. Yes,
So during this time, Marco Rubio was in the halls
just talking to the press pool about like what had

(23:19):
gone on, and they were just talking about involvement. Alex
Jones just pulls up like into the frame and being like, hey,
what do you what do you think about? China was
doing the second thing, and like it's funny because the
actual journalists like from CNBC and the other outlets are
literally their mouths are fucking wide open, being like what
the fuck is who is this weird bearded dude. I
mean they probably knew it was him. There's been a

(23:40):
lot of great background faces going on, and hell yeah,
there was that woman yesterday during the Kavanaugh's statement where
like it was clear she was like barely staying away.
It looked like she was auditioning to be Stanley from
the office. Like it was like the same kind of
like I'm sleep is imminent, but yeah, this thing. Uh.

(24:01):
When Alex Jones kind of kept pressing, he was basically
just trying to be Alex Jones and ask me really
loud and talk over people. At one point, he put
his hand on Marco Rubio's shoulder. Now, hey, bro, you
don't let me tell you, some brother touch a guy
on the shoulder like that, even if it isn't a
nice way. Marco Ruby like it took him a second
and think he's like, okay, do I have to g
up this guy? And then looks over and he goes,
please don't touch me again. I'm asking you nicely. And

(24:22):
he's like, oh, what are you gonna do? Have me arrested?
And he's like, I don't need the police. I will
take care of it myself. And then he goes, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa,
are you gonna beat me up? You saw it? Like,
and then he just was kept trying to bait him,
being like this guy's a little funk and it was
very kind said it like, oh you're a little thumb.
Yeah you say, like a little sassy like he found
it exciting or something. Yeah, he but he really tried

(24:46):
Marco Ruby. And then it was just him and other
al right people who had been like d platformed or
had their precious blue check taken away on Twitter, like
following Jack Dorsey around and screaming at him and yeah,
you know you know ship Uh yeah, it was super cute. Actually, uh,
it definitely felt very childish, like I don't know Marco.

(25:09):
Rubio is like this guy who's always just doing whatever
other people want him to do, or what he thinks
other people want him to do. And it was like
he finally was like ready to break. I know it
was don't touch me. He did in that calm way
like when someone else's parents scolds you, when they're like,
I would like you to stop that, you know, because

(25:29):
you know you can't. You can't really yell at someone
else's kid, but you can be an adult and be
like you should knock that off, and how Marco came off.
Rubio also was claiming he didn't know who Alex Jones was.
He was like, I don't know you, bro, which is
like an insane claim. Don't I don't know who Alex Jones?
I don't know her? Right, It's like what's info Wars.

(25:49):
It's like he's the dude who was like smearing you
years ago, saying like that he was getting with like
sex workers in the nineties in Miami or something. It
was a very odd exchange. But to you know, too
frightened men when they showed like when they have a
showdown like that, it's it's always nice to see your thug,
aren't you all right, We're gonna take a quick break.

(26:11):
We'll be right back, and we're back. So there have
been a couple articles of late talking about how there
are fewer and fewer people identifying as Republicans these days. Apparently,

(26:35):
if you look at a number of people in a
poll who identifies Democrats a year ago today, it has
gone up and down like zero percent, it's just the same,
whereas the number of people who identify as Republican has
gone down five percent. And it's specifically bad for Republicans
among And this is going to surprise you guys. I

(26:56):
think women women, for some reason, they're not into the
Republican party. Yeah, something happened over the last year where
women have decided not to identify openly as Republicans, and
white women in particular seven points less likely to identify,
oh than they had before. Well, you know, they'd helped

(27:17):
Trump out a lot. Yeah, they really fucked up. I mean,
we sorry, it's not as cool day. You you a
Latin dancer, don't worry. Yeah, that makes I mean, you know,
the fucking brand is toxic as a brand. You know,
there's nothing you have to really do some mental gymnastics
contortion to be able to look at what the state
of the GOP is and say, yes, I am proud

(27:40):
to be aligned with this. I think every policy I've
seen speaks to me, and I think there there clearly
are those people because they have like a very tortured worldview.
But I think for people who are like rational conservatives
who had registered as Republicans are like, oh, man, Like
in the first couple of months, it was easy to
go to dinner parties, and now I'm oh, guys, I

(28:00):
don't even I don't even know what I am anymore
after this, Yeah, how can you justify that like identity?
These days? Well stuff? Even like, you know, there are
people in my orbit who I've had to release to
the wild when I pressed them about who they voted for,
and like, they get very defensive. And it's never like, oh,
let me tell you why I think separating families is

(28:21):
a good idea. It's like, well, it's not that bad
or whatever. You're like, okay, so you just want some
denial ship. So yeah, and this also ties into you know,
when you hear things like that. Trump has an approval
rating of eighty nine percent among Republicans. It's not eight
across the board for or I guess it is across
the board for all Republicans, but it's worth noting that, uh,

(28:44):
that is people left over in the Republican Party who
haven't decided to just disengage from the party. Jump ship, yeah, Jumpindenburgh. Yeah. Well,
there's a lot of I want this movie. Okay, you're
bringing you are Yeah, you're bringing blimp travel back and
I really appreciate thank you. Yeah, I don't it makes sense.

(29:07):
I mean, I think John Kasick was saying something too
about he can tell the party's shrinking, and that's definitely
clear when you look at how a lot of these
elections have gone, Like the real established Republican power in
a lot of places is dwindling very quickly. And I
don't know there's people that are choosing not to vote
for the Republican or if they're voting the other way,
but yeah, I mean they're they're having a full blown

(29:28):
identity crisis on that side. So, Caitlin, you stopped identifying
as a Republican in the last year, right, Oh yeah,
I would never but before that for sure, Yeah, yeah,
totally alright. So fear By Woodward is just that I
just want to get that. I wanted to talk about
Fear by Bob wood where the new book that's coming

(29:49):
out next week, because we talked about some of the
crazier revelations. But just overall, it seems like this is
a portrait that kind of is completely in line with
the Fire and Fury portrait of Trump as mentally incompetent,
like not mentally all there and not smart enough to

(30:10):
handle the job. Um, he is unqualified in every imaginable
measurable way. Right. So there's a point where General Maddis
was talking to him about why we need to be
in South Korea because if you remember, during the North
Korea talks, he was just ready to pull the whole
armed forces apparatus out of there. Yeah, and uh after

(30:34):
like one of the things is that we are able
to find out about a North Korean missile attack seven
seconds after it is launched instead of if we weren't there,
it would be fifteen minutes. Uh And So after leaving
that meeting where he was trying to explain this to Trump,
James Maddis told associates that Trump acted like and had
the understanding of a fifth or sixth grader. Um, there's

(30:58):
a detail we mentioned yesterday that Gary Cohen stole important
documents about like trade deals, and I think one of
them was doing away with NAFTA, like huge important initiatives
that Trump had like thrown out there during Trump Jazz sessions.
But Cohen stole the documents off his desk and Trump
just forgot about them, um, which suggests like lacking object permanent.

(31:23):
Oh whoa, you're going there? Huh? Like a baby, like
a baby, like he would be entertained by peekaboo. Maybe
that's why he feels like stealth planes exist in the
way he does. He's like, I don't know, have you
seen this, Kelly, John Kelly, show him how you disappear?
And he just puts his hands on his face. He's back.
He's one of America's greatest warriors. There's the detail that

(31:44):
I think we've mentioned yesterday that Dowd was basically saying
telling Trump like he should not go into an interview
with Mueller because he would have a orange jumpsuit in
his future. But there was also the appeal that Dowd
made to Muller. So apparently j Seculo went to Mueller's office.
And re enacted the mock interview between where Trump's people

(32:08):
played Mueller, and then you know, they tried to show
him how it would go if he sat down with
the interview with Mueller and Seculo was like doing an impression,
and the goal was to argue that Trump couldn't possibly
testify because he was incapable of like standing up, like
he would just be so dumb and confused by the thing.

(32:29):
And also the point they made to Muller was that
if the transcript of his interview leaked, and there's a
good chance it would, that it would get out and
foreign leaders would see how dumb our president was. Yeah,
we laughed about it yesterday when he was like from
the quotes, but when you realize the argument was like, hey,
please don't do it, because if people find out how

(32:51):
dumb he is, it's going to be a problem for
the country. And then there's the mccayn thing, which I
really like how New York Magazine described this. They said
Trump also demeaned the wartime service of John McCain, stating
quote that the former Navy pilot had been a coward
for taking early release from a prisoner of war camp
in Vietnam. Because of his father's military rank and leaving

(33:14):
the others behind. This is, in fact the opposite of
the truth. The whole point of what makes McCain's imprisonment
so heroic is that North Vietnam offered to give him
early release on account of his father's rank, believing it
would demoralize other members of the military, and McCain refused,
even with standing torture, rather than given to accept freedom.
This is the most important and well known fact about McCain,

(33:36):
and Trump got it backwards. It's like attacking Harriet Tubman
for her refusal to help escaped slaves. Shore people do
say that the only people he respects or will take
direction from our generals because he like went to a
military academy when he was a kid, so it's like
the only form of authority that he knows and understands.

(33:59):
But it it still seems, based on all of these anecdotes,
that he's not that impressed with the ones that work
for him at least, or he's not that effective to
have them work for Doesn't he even respect him? And
he's on his own thing? You know, Yeah, based on
all this information, I think I'm going to go back
to identifying as a Republican really sold me on, thank you.

(34:23):
I figured as much. Um so. Ten term incumbent Mike
Capuano of Massachusetts lost in the primary yesterday was a
huge upset. Again. This was Ayanna Pressley, who is in
line to be the first African American congress person from Massachusetts,

(34:44):
which is incredible. Yeah, and she you know, it's it's
a little bit kind of different than the Alexandria Ocasio
Cortes upset in that, like Ianna, Pressley had a lot
of establishment support to like the state attorney general backed,
and she was already on the city council I think
in Boston. But yeah, this is like another example of
how bad the polling is because she was always like

(35:07):
at least ten points back like coming into this, and
he conceded very early, like as the returns came in.
And it's kind of amazing me too, because Mike cap
Wano isn't like Joe Crowley, who's like pure establishment, like
dead center kind of dude. I mean, he would vote
like that at times, but he was you could describe
him as a kind of mostly progressive in terms of
his voting record, and he even had John Lewis come

(35:29):
down from the Congressional Black Caucus and addressed like a
black congregation, like with him being like, hey, he's our guy,
Like he gets it, he's always voted with us. He
he understands the struggle. There's no need to primary him
because he's you know, he's doing a good job, so
please reconsider and that I think some people were a
little put off by that because I think, like people

(35:50):
in the area probably a view that as the establishment
coming into at least block access for a woman of
color to begin entering Congress when you know, they even
acknowledge that there is a rep presentation issue in Congress.
But they were like, you know, but maybe she can
go to another district. Believe Mike cap Wano here. But
you know, it's it shows you that there is this
growing progressive caucus of there's this just movement on the

(36:13):
left that is getting bigger and people are having a
hard time tracking and it's it's just like the Trump ship,
but more progressive. Yeah. I wonder why it is that
sort of populist movements don't show up in polls because
usually you're they're tapping into new people, you know what
I mean, who were usually not participating. And I think

(36:33):
a lot of the polls that they were getting it
just seemed like, Oh, he's comfortable, he's always one, and
they weren't really taking into account that there are young
people who maybe they didn't reach and their polling, or
that there are new like newly registered voters. Uh and
you know this, Are they still using landlines? Is that
where like a lot of the polling coming. I think
it all depends. I mean, yeah, it could be like that.

(36:54):
It could be that they have focus groups. There's there
are many ways to do it. But I think a
lot of the poll the polls that you see now
are you typically happening on the phone. Yeah, And super
producer nixt Stump was pointing out that a lot of
these polls are informed by likely voter, Like they're put
through equations based on historically who participated, who voted, and

(37:18):
that's typically older white voters, right, And if you're basing
everything on historical precedent, then you're going to underestimate people
who are now you know, more likely to vote than
they were in the past. Because yeah, like you said,
she was ten points back in the polls and she
won by eighteen points, which is fucking crazy. Thirteen point

(37:41):
lead in August. Uh, and then like some other polls,
they saw that she had a lead with like the
younger people and minorities, but they were still figuring into it.
It's like, well, based on everything, like yeah, that a
lot of people aren't gonna vot or they might not
come out in the same numbers. But I think that
the same thing with Crowley too, Like it could have
been a lot of their support. I just felt that
they had in the bag and they're like, oh, he's

(38:02):
up by thirteen points, Like I'm not gonna vote in
this in this primary. Alright, we're gonna take another quick break.
We'll be right back, and we're back. And Nike released

(38:22):
the TV ad or the you know, the video version
of their Colin Kaepernick ad. Uh. Did you guys watch it?
I did? Would you think it was? It made me
feel inferior. There's a lot of like, don't just be
the best player at your school ever. I'm like, I thought,
I graduated the same year of high school as Lebron James,

(38:45):
so I can at this point be like, i'mouna be
the best basketball player ever. I will be the best
as sitting on a couch and being high and convincing
myself I'm dying. I thought it was gonna be like,
because they have also like people with disabilities in the AD,
and so I thought it was gonna be like, don't
just be the fastest thing or school or your country,
be the fastest you can be, you know, like a
normal message. But instead it was like, be the fastest

(39:07):
person ever. Well, yeah, I mean again it's about the
magic of believing. Of course, I say that flippantly and
be like, well, I don't like this, but yeah, I
think it was pretty cool. I mean there was a
lot of moments where like, yeah, when you when you
hear Colin Kaepernick's voice and you and all the footage
that they have, you always like, yeah, man, the people
trying to do something, just do it. I'll go buy
this ship. Yeah. I mean it's the culture wars like

(39:31):
you put their foot in it, and they made the
right move. But I mean, as we said yesterday, clearly
a business decision, but a good business decision too. Yeah,
And I mean the stock market went down. Their stock
price tumbled. According to ABC News that I was listening
to last night. Sometimes it just turned on this ABC
News like streaming service channel just to like hear the

(39:53):
most mainstream down the middle take. They were like Nike,
like their stock price tumbles as they announce they're calling
kaebernick thing. But it only went down two points. And also,
I don't think they're too worried about like what the
white supremacists on Wall Street think about their company. I
think they're more interested in, like what young progressive people

(40:16):
who actually determine what trends are I think of their company.
So right, I think they'll be all right. I think
there was another thing I read that they're like young
people who are buying a lot of the Nike stock.
Now yeah, yeah, so you know, I guess I didn't
realize the millennials are out here on the stock market.
So that's our message, millennials, go buy Nike stock. Yeah,

(40:37):
go get involved in the casino, the casino economic. I
just got to buy a pair of Nike shoes. But god,
I guess you have to stock and then storks. Yeah
me either. I just can I buy it? Is there
a vending machine? He's like bigcoin. You know, I don't
know about this stuff, So I just buy the shoes.

(40:58):
But yeah, I don't know what it was funny. They
see like the backlash like grow on the internet too
of more people like burning their ship. And then I
think Levi's just today was saying something how they're being like, oh,
we're getting involved in the gun debate. Yeah, so we
think guns should be made of jeans. Yeah, exactly. Nice.

(41:20):
They're like, that's what that loop for, isn't it for
a hammer? Or their jeans will be made of guns?
Okay to take button fly. The button flies actually just
flattened bullets. So Jack Dorsey, like we said earlier, was
on Capitol Hill testifying, and an interesting piece of information

(41:41):
came out over the past couple of days that Twitter
employees were basically pointing out the fact that Alex Jones
should be at least suspended or there is there's a
drop there's our boy, that he should basically be kicked
off Twitter, and according to people familiar with the discussion,

(42:04):
Jack Dorsey overruled, overruled a lot of what you hear
about this dude makes you suspicious that he's uh yeah,
that he could have easily been carrying a tiki torch
downtown Charlottesville. I think Twitter, right after they had their
legal counsel put out a thing like that never happened,
so you know, forget that story, Like they really had

(42:25):
to turn on the spin machine for that. But you know,
it is a little odd because there's so many people
on there where you're like, this person is only doing
nonsense and just spreading hatred. I don't know why they
need to be on there. Yeah, I don't even know
I'm on there because I'm a problematic racist. Just too
much effort. Speaking of problematic racists, robot calls in Florida

(42:48):
have gone out. We can't find the audio for them,
but the description of them is just bonkers. So it's
basically talking about Andrew Gillum and it basically it plays
like junk music and uses like horrifying stereotypes of black people,
and is from a white supremacist group that also was

(43:09):
doing robotcalls in Brooklyn, Iowa about the murder of Molly Tibbotts.
It's just guy out there just being like, you know,
I don't need all the credit. I just want to
do God's work here by sending out the worst, most
hateful messages into the ether. Well it's they literally it says,
well hello, there it begins, I is Andrew gillim Like,

(43:33):
what really we're going there with that dumb shit. Yeah,
it's a new I guess it's a new low. It
really is. It's it really, it's the year of the Low.
It reminds you of like if you ever read about
nineteen twenties like clan meetings and ship like, it really
sounds like that sort of dumb ship like rhetoric. Yeah, yeah, well,

(43:54):
you know, uh, I mean Andrew Gillum, I think he's
actually leading to Santis in the polls too, And he
raised like a million dollars the next day after the primary,
So hopefully you know that will hold a little bit
because that would be a wonderful, wonderful victory too. Yeah,
that'd be huge. And I mean this might be just
going along with what we've been talking about earlier that

(44:16):
you know, there are fewer people identifying as Republicans. Uh So,
while Trump and you know, the right might seem like
they're very popular with the Republicans, it's a shrinking group
of people. And then you have more progressive people who
don't necessarily who aren't your traditional voters in the past,

(44:37):
kind of rising up and deciding to get involved. Yeah,
well this is the kind of ship too, when you're like, oh,
this is how the side that's opposed to Andrew Gillum
is behaving. And if you even are like registered to Republican,
you're gonna look at that and be like Jesus fucking Christ,
like what is with this ship? And even like the
monkeying around comment that Rhonde Santa said too, is this
a bad bad looks all around and credits Andrew Gillham,

(45:00):
He's just like, whatever, dude, we're gonna win off the
fucking just off the merits of this campaign, not pointing
out this person's ignorance. When I was I think this
is probably like two thousand and ten or so, I
was living in Boston and I was playing on an
intermural soccer team and there was a guy on my
team who was probably like twenty years older than me,
and he's like, oh, you're one of those liberals. You're

(45:23):
gonna He's like, the older you get, you're gonna get
more conservative. You're going to be a Republican when you're
older and you start making more money. And it was
maybe the most offensive thing anyone's ever said to be like,
or that I felt most offended by because I've been
called like homophobic slurs and like all kinds of stuff
like that is for whatever reason, You're like, it's like
that is the worst thing any And he's like, no, really,

(45:45):
he's like because I was like, no, I'm not. I
was like, I would not do that. I'm not going
to change everything about my ethos just because I and
I and I haven't made any more money normally probably ever,
wait till you do. I suddenly got that mago hat
fuck and surgically attached to your head right, And I
was just like, what, Oh, I just hate whoever that

(46:05):
guy was. I don't remember his name, but he's one
of those Are you one of those liberals? All right? Yeah,
I guess you know in Massachusetts, bro, Like, what do
you like Boston? Or it's so funny? Boston is such
a funny town like that. I had always heard that
as a idea attributed to Winston Churchill. I think that like,
anybody who is conservative when they're in their twenties is crazy,

(46:31):
and anybody who's a liberal when they're in their forties
is also crazy. Like that everybody should like make that move.
And we wrote about that on Cracked, that that he
never said that, like, that's insane. He was always I
love fake fucking quotes. There's so many fake quotes that, like,
I was just raised on that. I was like, oh, well,
smart people think this, and it's like, no, that's just

(46:51):
made up bullshit. Yeah, it's all Snapple, right, they were
putting that onto the caps. Yes, all mixed up the
Snapple cans. Curiously, one place that people on the left
are focusing some of their energy is getting environmentalists to vote.
Apparently this is harder than you would expect. This stat
fucked me up. There's this group called the Environmental Vote

(47:14):
or Project, and they've basically identified that there's anywhere between
around fifteen million what they call super environmentalists who just
don't vote. So in in in the mid terms, there
are fifteen point eight million super environmentalists who were registered
but didn't vote, and then in the presidential election, some
ten million didn't vote. So mid terms, we don't necessarily

(47:35):
expect that many people to vote, but ten million not voting.
In because you think of environmentalists as being politically involved
in yeah, I think there are some people too who
just are more focused on how they're interacting with the
environment and less looking at it from a policy standpoint
where they're like, well, I don't I have a hybrid,

(47:56):
I don't use plastic, and I'm doing my part. Yeah,
And I think sometimes for whatever reason, they're less politically active,
but they've been using like some straight up like sociology
psychology type tactics on these people, basically being like shaming
them into voting because they're not trying to change their
mind about the issues, because they're like, we're not going
to win that battle at all, like trying to rhetorically

(48:17):
get them to like vote or whatever or be like
oh this you need to vote against this person or
vote for this thing. They're more in the in the
idea of like, if we can just get people to
start going to the polls, they'll probably in that act
begin to identify the candidates who actually are more in
line with their beliefs and environmentalists and just do the
right thing. Anyway. So what they do is like they'll
call and be like, you, did you know that on

(48:37):
your block of your neighbors voted and we have on
record that you didn't, and they're just kind of being like, hey,
we're shaming you into voting or just giving them that
foam thing because we are social animals about being like, hey,
everyone else is doing it and you're not explain. Yeah,
I wonder how much of it is just them feeling
like we already lost this one, you know. Yeah, I
don't know. It could be a totally defeatist where I mean,

(49:00):
I don't know a lot of the environmentalists that I
would meet. I guess it was different because it was
always in a political context, but they were always very
much on top of policy and things like that. But
when they describe this other kind of person who's just
more sort of figuring out, like well, this is my
piece to the puzzle of like pollution or you know,
carbon emissions and things like that. I have a few theories. Okay, sorry,

(49:22):
No one is that they're so hardcore environmentalists that they
are so off the grid they like live in urts
in the mountains or something, and they don't they just
don't even know what's going on in the outside of
rod and they're just like living off the land, or
they're such hardcore environmentalists that they and they live too
far away from their polling places and they're like, I'm

(49:43):
not going to use any modes of transportation that use
any sorts of fossil fuelings so that they can't and
then it's just too far away so they can't get
there on their recumbent bicycles because it's hard to tow
your year around on your recumbent bicycle. Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, but at the at the very least, these
people are registered to vote and typically live in areas

(50:05):
that are populated. So it's like, I think that's why
it's hard for us to figure out, because like, man,
it most of people that just live off the grid
and they don't even know what year it is or whatever.
It's people who I think are probably just the apathy
is a little bit too much to overcome. So they
began kind of doing a bit of an experiment and
had like a control group where they weren't kind of
trying to bombard with like the messaging of like, hey
should out and vote, Get out and vote, And they

(50:25):
measured a twelve percent rise in voting in their test
group compared to control group. So if like, if you
extrapolate that, that could mean like nearly two million more
environmentalist voting. Yeah. I have a theory that they're too
busy focused on my use of straws and my use
of plastic bags at the grocery store, and the fact
that I drink bottled water and only take out of

(50:49):
each bottle and throw it out my car window. Yeah,
well the first SIPs the best. We all know that, Yeah, exactly,
Like after that, it's like, yeah, yeah, so get off
my bag, guys focused on voting. Yeah, But also though,
to do all that stuff, you have to be pretty
civically engaged, because you have to get ordinances and like
laws passed to begin banning those things. So maybe there's

(51:11):
just like this group who just are like the hyper
engaged environmentalists who know how to do with these things
from like a legislative standpoint, and then like the people
who are just kind of raw rod on and like
now they got this handled. I don't know. If you're
a super environments who doesn't vote, please tell us why
you are sucking up well as a as both a
long lifelong Republican and I am one of these people,

(51:35):
so I'll tell you what it is. Fantastic Are they
like Green Party? Is that how they're registered? I don't know, No,
I mean it was sort of you know, it was
outside of registration. They just knew that the based on
like they think, probably membership to other groups and just
looking at that they are registered, they're just not just
not going vote m So yeah, work on it. Republican environmentalist.

(52:01):
And finally we do have a replacement for John McCain
on the books. And it's bad. Yeah, it's bad. It's
more the same. Yeah, well it had to be a Republican,
Doug Doocey couldn't put a Democrat in there just to
keep the party map the same. I guess I'm not
surprised that it's bad. It's former Senator John Kyle. I'm
not surprised that he's just like the worst, but I

(52:24):
am surprised how close they came to actually, you know,
having a good candidate in there, right right, Well, I
think they just had to do right by the party
and just be like, let's just get a Trump rubber
stamp in there, because I mean, John Kyle is not
a fucking maverick by any stretch of the imagination. And
some of his greatest hits are one time on the
floor of the Senate he was like planned Parenthood's businesses

(52:47):
from abortion and then people are like, it's Mr Kyle,
and then he was like, well, I I wasn't saying
that to be serious, like he's had some really fucking
whack response. It was something that fucking a offensive that
it was just like, well, I didn't mean it. Uh.
And I think he was kind of the first, you know,
he he liked that little slippery brand of conservatism. And
then he even called when Obama at the Bush tax

(53:09):
cuts for the wealthy expired, he described that as fucking
class warfare. Um, and he hated, I mean, he hate.
He was a huge Obamacare against the upper class. I
guess the upper class because how dare you there would
be no lower class without upper class because we siphoned
all the wealth, making you lower class. But yeah, he
always was a huge Obama critic. Hated the Affordable Care Act. Uh.

(53:31):
So you know, if another repeal bill hits the Senate floor,
I'm pretty sure we know how this man is gonna vote.
He's not gonna be thumbs downing it. And yeah, oh
and he's also pretty much a sealed Kavanov vote too,
because he's been helping him, sure, buying him through the process.
So there you have it, all right, So this appointment
from Governor doocy means that he'll be in the seat

(53:54):
until and then then at that point there will be
a special election to actually fully let the vote decide
who should replace him. And that I think that brings
us kind of back to this other the story we
were talking about before was that how Republicans are even
toying with just even just straight up switching parties to win.
And Grant Woods, who was the former chief of staff

(54:16):
to John McCain, like Democrats have been kind of courting
him to be like, you know, you should run as
a Democrat, and he had thought of it, So they've
even McCain had thought about it, didn't he. Yeah. At
a certain point, Yeah, because he was so piste off
after the two thousand election run up that he had
just been disrespected by the party. He was like, funk this.
And at one point he was even talking about running

(54:36):
with John Kerry, like on a truly mixed ticket. But yeah,
it shows that there's all kinds of energy swirling around. Yeah,
And wasn't his original pick for vice president Kerry's vice
president Lieberman? Yeah, the one that he wanted to write
for the two thousand and eight election to run as
his vice president was Lieberman. Yeah, and then his rain

(55:00):
trust overruled him and was like, nah, we gotta bring
this pale and stuff. Hey look, hey it's a black
guy running, so we gotta what's our minority card? Okay?
This woman? So hey, we're fucking walk over here to y'all. Caitlin,
