Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Is
Henry kiss Pretinger dead? Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yes, yes, yes he is.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Yes, count it.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Motherfucker made it.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Down to I know, man, that's good for the soul.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
That's like honestly what you say, Like you're like, that's
the max, right, Like you can't you can't go past
one hundred, Like I don't give a fuck, like what
you're talking about. But yeah, one of the most vile
figures and uh Western geopolitics, uh has has finally just
bit dust.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, so real variety of tones in the reporting of
his death the Washington Post, uh was, I don't know.
They like were like this guy was kind of a
playboy in his day. Henry Kissinger could get it in.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
The way he okayed the invasion of East team war
by Indonesia. Oh that's bay as fucked yo, when he
fucking sanctioned the coup against it, the carpet bombing of Cambodia.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
He was cock blocked by Nixon while he was on
a date with Jajah Gabor, but his Kissinger was about
to lean in for a kiss. Gross fuck off, his
beeper went off. It was the President, the same man
who had set them up was now blocking his National
security advisor from getting to first base. What a fun
right up the washing and party, piece of shit?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Are you smoking dust?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Like?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Really this guy is I'm not like, the body count
is unmatchable. Three million, yeah, the three.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
His own biographer said, he probably has the blood of
three million people, many of them innocent, easily just straight
up worshiping at the throne of power. I mean this
is like, this is the heavy duty you know, moral licensing. Oh,
it's just like this guy. I mean, you know, uh,
innocent or not. You gotta three million people is pretty impressive,
(02:02):
you know. I mean, this guy made his mark. He
left the mark.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
He left the mark on many people who had to
needlessly die in Vietnam.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
To the logan roy uh eulogy exactly like he he
moved people.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Well one of those things.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah, he fused people while he was doing it, so
it's cool, Like he literally fucked people.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
So that's cool yea. And this guy gets it. So
there guy, I.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Mean like he's kind of like a Mick Jagger of
ordering the deaths of innocent human beings over the phone
from a comfortable office on the other side of the globe.
He's like kind of got that swag, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, the way he I mean again, like even Cambodia, right, Like,
we dropped more explosives on Cambodia in like in this
very short period of time than the United States had
dropped on all of Europe during World War Two. Yeah,
because he had a body like yeah, if it's moving,
fucking busted, fuck y and arming other. I mean this guy,
(03:01):
I think it's truly like this. We talk about how
our inability or not our inability, but the government and
society's inability to have a reckoning with Richard Nixon and
his crimes paved the way for people like Reagan, paved
the way for people like Trump, where it's like, yo, bro,
you can do whatever fuck you want. And then the
war crimes, the fucking war crimes of Henry Kissinger, like
have those have just completely been like oh yeah, there's
(03:23):
no no, no, we're good. We're good, We're good. Has
like only again allowed this fucking pattern and momentum to
continue to turn a blind eye to like legitimate war crimes, atrocities,
and and have this like attitude where people are like
dismissive of people who aren't in government, who have critiques
of Henry Kissinger because it's always like very patronizing. It's like,
you guys don't understand how like power be moving.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, what if you just started from the premise that
you don't kill innocent people?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Though?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Well, I mean maybe that would actually make your decisions easier. Yeah,
then you wouldn't have to be a fucking monster. The
av Club published a whole article about how Kissinger played
a bumbling cartoon duck named Ducky Daddles in a nineteen
seven nineteen nineties kids show, which is, I don't know,
(04:11):
it's interesting because this feels like a documenting of like
the moral license of just like you know, it was
the nineties. They were like on a heat check of
like neoliberalism was like it's the end of history, right,
And so in this fucking cartoon, Henry Kissinger is playing
a cartoon duck and it's like, I guess, supposed to
(04:35):
be like a knowing wink to nineties parents, and those
parents would then get to watch an episode that ends
with Henry Kissinger as a cartoon duck ordering a bombing
raid on a hapless fox and played by Johnny Cochran.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So wow, Jesus everybody. Everybody wins in that one.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, it's just fun. But it is like it's like
a Simpsons cameo for Henry Kissinger, right.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
You know, right, like it's just absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Just trying to normalize the ship.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
But let's yeah, like let's really, let's really acknowledge the
real person who took Kissinger's life.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yes, Nicki manach yep, exactly, she said. So she tweeted
the fact that y'all have no idea what's about to
happen because she has now coming out before his pas died,
and so, uh, you know, some people like at space
(05:37):
Ghost on Twitter responded, thanks for killing Kissinger, Queen of
Prayer Hands, Which, yeah, I think this is the first
celebrity death we have that people have not attributed to
the COVID vaccine.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, right, right, right right. I think because he has
like appeal to conservatives too for just being like a
just blood thirsty war criminal that they're like, no, no,
I mean that guy he made it to a hundred.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, they don't want to they don't want to even
admit he got vaccinated, because how the fuck did he
make it to a hundred? Like any anything that this
guy did throughout his life is sort of like you
could see people being like, well, I guess I'm doing
that because right, he lived to one hundred with that
shit on his contracts.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And also like same with that dude Charlie Munger, who
was the Berkshire Hathaway dude that passed away, that billionaire
who was trying to build a fucked up cell block
dormitory at UCSB. He recently passed away at ninety nine.
He was like ready to celebrate, apparently he was planning
his hundredth birthday. But that guy, like he was famously
being like I don't like to exercise, Like I don't exercise.
I drink diet coke like I try not to exercise.
(06:46):
So you'd never know how long these people last. You
never know.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I'm on that Kissinger diet, Like I'm curious because he
didn't like look good ever, he always looked like kind
of a.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
No, he started to look like a fucking snail by then.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Juliana Margalise cool Uh is trending because she was on
a podcast and basically out did Amy Schumer with her
like dehumanizing racist rhetoric.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, just why related to Palestine? Yeah, I mean like
she was basically doing that like sort of propaganda talking
point that tries to discourage people from having any semblance
of solidarity with Palestinian people by being like, you know,
like if you're gay, they'd murder you, right, and then
proceeds to really specific come after like black people, like
(07:35):
black queer people too, and saying that black people were
like uneducated and like they need to leave America like
if they don't like this shit, that blah blah blah.
And it's just wild to see that this kind of
this kind of rhetoric goes completely unnoticed and it's fine,
it has no bearing or effect on your career at all,
(07:55):
and you're like, wow, this is some wild shit. She's like,
don't play soccer with your head, okay, and then she
said something she's like, as someone who played a lesbian
on TV, I'm off, yes, yeah, it was very very strange,
And again, like I think we're living in a time
where this can just be like yeah, yeah, cool, cool,
(08:16):
you said that. I merely saying like we need a
cease fire or like people shouldn't live under occupation is
being distorted and conflated with with talking with anti semitism
or some other inflammatory rhetorics. So yeah, interesting times, interesting times.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, there's also like the pictures. I feel like that
Israel has taken a hit in terms of like the
media because of like the pictures of the postages being
freed and like looking pretty well taken care of or.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Saying things like they did their best and not mistreating
us at all.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
But there seems to be a full on offensive of
like actually people are with Israel, and like this poll
says it that everybody hates Palace Stein wants to be
with Israel, and Israel is actually popular and Palestine Okay,
maybe Hamas, but like Hamas is the same as Palestine,
Like nobody likes them even so, like why are you.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Guys even talking about them? Yeah, like they're so over
It's like what what kind of rhetorical style is this? Yeah,
but yeah, it's I mean we're like right now, I
think it's what the seventh day I so far of
hostage exchanges and some semblance of a pause not a
seaful on ceasefire. Yeah, so we you know, will continue
to see where that goes, but as of right now,
(09:34):
it seems like things will just continue.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
George Santos uh is it's looking like he might be
coming to the end of his run as a politician,
but definitely not his run in the public eye. Like
the reality shows have to be lining up, right, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, maybe, I mean this guy he's so messy, he's
a fraudster, he's a huckster, and like he is fighting
for his life right now. Uh. He is like out
here sounding like r Kelly in the chambers of the
House talking about how like everyone's attacking him and he's
just a good person. Here's just a bit of it.
(10:14):
And obviously, look, we talked about how much scamming this
motherfucker did, So let's not act like you're innocent, George.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I have been convicted of no crimes, mister speaker. My
loyalty to this country that gave me life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness is true and unquestionable. I stand
here today debating for the second time in less than
a month for the same exact reasons that were brought
(10:41):
up last time.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
The difference is is.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
That one can say I've been indicted once more by
the findings of the Ethics Committee. Yeah, process that by
amission of the cheer himself was not completely inclusive.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
One can say, it's like such a bad difference, like
when like a scam has completely hit the end and
they're like, I just gotta say shit.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Kind of reminds me of the ship we're talking about
tomorrow with Elon Musk, where it's just like we're at
the end of the scam and it's just the the
logic no longer coheres. Yeah, I'm fighting for my life.
They are destroyed. No, but that's what.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Many people say when they've been caught and it's it's
over now. And he was trying to do some shit
like I think he's trying to oust was a bowman
or some shit too, and people are like, you are
the please stop even trying to introduce fucking bills, like
let's get the fuck out of here. But again, you
see how quickly the Republicans can deal with someone when
they want.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
To, when they really really want If I'm going down,
then I know these people are all coming with me,
and he's like, drag it, trying to drag them along
with me.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, there's one point where like Matt gate Gates got
up and he's like, I stand not to defend George
Santos whoever he is and then completely cooks them.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, so it's it's all bad, you know, but who knows,
Like if you're really gonna if he's gonna really be
messy on the way, I know he's probably gonna say something.
He's got to say something super wild before he fully exits.
So yeah, yeah, anyway, so that's what the that's what
Congress is doing while we're dealing with an omni crisis.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
But yeah, stuff, Whatever happened to Madison Cawthorn. Is he
like just in a pole somewhere, like because he was
he was on the verge of saying some wild shit.
He was like, yeah, I got invited to like a
sex party, like yeah week at here, and then they
were just like and you're no longer in office. Yeah no,
I mean now.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
The last thing that happened was he brought he had
a gun on him at the airport. Yeah, and then
he had to plead guilty to those charges.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
But he just kept doing that ship that was just yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah there And I think so, I don't know, I
think he moved to like Florida or something, So maybe
he has a podcast one does five people listen to?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
All Right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.
And we're back, And there's a casting announcement for a
new cartoon on Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire network that has
(13:18):
some names. So this ship has some people attached, like
Adam Carolla. Now I'm just joking.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
What's he doing there?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Alonzo Bowden from who if you ever listened to Weight? Wait,
don't tell me commit at stand up media? Yeah, Brett Cooper, No,
I don't know who the fuck that is. Yeah, Danny Trejo, Yeah,
that's not not my Danny, not Danny. And then Rob Wriggle.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, and even Kyle Dunn again though, the comedian.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Kyle Dune again. Yeah, what damn.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
He's that's like a wild one too.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Oh that kills me. Yeah, like a lot of off Kyle.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
People are like looking around being like, yo, what the what?
What what is this? Is there another Kyle done again?
You know what I mean? Yeah, I have a feeling,
No it it's him, it's him.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Uh yeah, I could see a shift, you know, I mean, yeah,
you are seeing a shift, right.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah. Everybody's just kind of like, Okay, we're good. We're good.
Because then the other people on there too, uh, Danny
tre Hill, Patrick Warburton, I mean, I'm I don't I
don't know where his politics are. Jane Moore, uh, Rob
and Rosembar. Isn't Janmore married to Genie Bus? Now?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Is he really?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Oh? Patrick Warburton's putty all right, yeah, pudd Yeah, I
don't know who. I don't know these names.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Damn yeah, Jane Moore is married to Genie.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
But anyway, so jar is married to Jeanie Buss.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yes, they got married in Lake Timber. Yes, doctor Busses,
the president of the Lakers. Genie Buss, doctor Buss's daughter. Wow. Yeah.
So a lot of people were like, what are y'all doing?
Like do y'all know that it's on the daily wire?
But you know, uh, I guess this is I get
checks the check and if you and if you fuck
with the network, I guess it is what it is.
(15:16):
So uh, you know, a good a good way to
just find out where people are doing their things right now?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Damn all right? The White House Christmas tree blew over
and Breitbart knows what this means. They they said their
headline was weakness Biden National White House Christmas Tree toppled.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
So, oh, weakness Okay, yeah, man.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I told you Biden's week on the wind is week
on Christmas.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
It's funny because for all those windmills he puts up,
didn't think he'd fold so quickly to one.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Am I right?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
That? Huh? Weird?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Weird? All the lights were even turned on. So our
writer jam like dug into the history of White House
Christmas trees. Right, And in nineteen eighty one, Ronald Reagan
refused to come out and light the Christmas tree. He
did it by remote control from inside the White House.
And then he did that for the entirety of his
(16:12):
presidential administration. Can you imagine, Like, granted he had just
survived the assassination attempt, so I'd give him like that
byre they would fucking destroy any democratic president who did that.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
That's so wild that he was just like, well, I'm
gonna I'm stay in here do it by remote control.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
The last few times I was in public, I was
caught lacking, so I don't want to be you know,
the here again, Nancy. Yeah, that's so what. There was
like a fucking like a switch, like did they even
make a like its ceremonial like and with this button press,
I will light up the lights or the shit just
turned on, and like, yeah, he's in there, I guess
you can.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah that was the president. Must be the president who
turned that one on. He cares about you and he's
good president. Yeah, but yeah, I don't know. It's been
a thing since the early early nineteen hundreds, as opposed
to the late nineteen hundred. The early nineteen hundreds, when
(17:14):
a person who worked for Woodrow Wilson came through and
was like, Hey, I think it would be good for
Christmas if we did a Christmas tree. And then it
turned out he was just the vice president of the
industry trade group, the Society for Electrical Development, and they
were trying to popularize this new idea of electric Christmas lights.
(17:35):
Oh and shit of that horse, and now we have
electric Christmas light every year.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
This needs to be a book called it. Nothing fucking
matters or makes sense because it was all about making
money for somebody else the whole goddamn time making fucking lights,
and like, yo, we need to get this shit happened, man,
press the fucking president, bro, get on the fucking like
that shit.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Also the first Christmas tree, so when they did like
do that, the first one got so fucked up during
transport that the White House staff had to like literally
tie branches from a healthy evergreen tree onto the Christmas
tree like on some Charlie Brown.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Shit Frankin tree shit.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah, wow, saddest little Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, I mean shit, I got my I got my
fake tree.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You're a require a fake treer.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Oh yeah, my shit's up right now. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
We got we got our we got our tree last weekend.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah. Yeah, that's it. I mean I think once for me,
like I always wanted a tree that's at least like
five and a half or six feet tall, like at
a minimum. Would you go to the fucking tree lot
that shit's like one fifty or something crazy like that.
I'm like, nah, I'll just buy, Like I'll just buy
the fake thing and I'll put the scent sickles on,
you know. Shout out Anna for putting me onto those
home deeps.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Shout out to the parking.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Lot at home Depot, Home Depot Brouck.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Nah, I love them ken laying their owner.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
That's my guy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Also, uh so, just another great moment in the history
of presidential trees. Nixon's tree in nineteen seventy the train
carrying it from South Dakota derailed twice Jesus, and then
it fell over in the wind. I didn't hear bright
part plain about that.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like them too that it fucking
bulbs on the tree also exploded them because they.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Both found that tree exploded because of the fireproof spread.
It feels like the electric lights might have been way
too early, Like I feel like they just like I
have a friend whose house burnt down from a Christmas
tree when we were adults, like when he was his
like late twenties. His house burnt down from his Christmas tree.
(19:49):
Like his dog didn't make it. It's fucked up, Oh my.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
God, because the lights like sparked up the tree and shit.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah yeah, oh, and like I feel like they just
got the Christmas tree lighting technology, like at least men. Yeah, yeah,
like these, but this motherfucker was popularizing it in like
nineteen twenty three. Yeah, because you know it would.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Be like some shit too, Like I remember like people
put like fucking fragrances on a light bulb and shit,
you're like, oh, that might not be a great fucking combo.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
It's like you're putting fuel on a heat source. But
I remember like those og Christmas lights from the eighties
and shit that were like the size of your thumb.
Those ss will get so fucking hot. Yeah I can.
Yeah anyway, so shout out led technology. I guess keeping
us safe.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
All right, Well, those are some of the things that
are trending on this final episode of November No good
fucking Ridge, November.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
One last time, you fucking ghostly loser, thirty fucking days.

Really this guy is I'm not like, the body count

Speaker 1 (01:39):
His own biographer said, he probably has the blood of

Speaker 2 (02:23):
So that's cool yea. And this guy gets it. So
there guy, I.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Mean like he's kind of like a Mick Jagger of
ordering the deaths of innocent human beings over the phone
from a comfortable office on the other side of the globe.
He's like kind of got that swag, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, the way he I mean again, like even Cambodia, right, Like,
we dropped more explosives on Cambodia in like in this
very short period of time than the United States had
dropped on all of Europe during World War Two. Yeah,
because he had a body like yeah, if it's moving,
fucking busted, fuck y and arming other. I mean this guy,
(03:01):
I think it's truly like this. We talk about how
our inability or not our inability, but the government and
society's inability to have a reckoning with Richard Nixon and
his crimes paved the way for people like Reagan, paved
the way for people like Trump, where it's like, yo, bro,
you can do whatever fuck you want. And then the
war crimes, the fucking war crimes of Henry Kissinger, like
have those have just completely been like oh yeah, there's
(03:23):
no no, no, we're good. We're good, We're good. Has
like only again allowed this fucking pattern and momentum to
continue to turn a blind eye to like legitimate war crimes, atrocities,
and and have this like attitude where people are like
dismissive of people who aren't in government, who have critiques
of Henry Kissinger because it's always like very patronizing. It's like,
you guys don't understand how like power be moving.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, what if you just started from the premise that
you don't kill innocent people?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Though?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Well, I mean maybe that would actually make your decisions easier. Yeah,
then you wouldn't have to be a fucking monster. The
av Club published a whole article about how Kissinger played
a bumbling cartoon duck named Ducky Daddles in a nineteen
seven nineteen nineties kids show, which is, I don't know,
(04:11):
it's interesting because this feels like a documenting of like
the moral license of just like you know, it was
the nineties. They were like on a heat check of
like neoliberalism was like it's the end of history, right,
And so in this fucking cartoon, Henry Kissinger is playing
a cartoon duck and it's like, I guess, supposed to
(04:35):
be like a knowing wink to nineties parents, and those
parents would then get to watch an episode that ends
with Henry Kissinger as a cartoon duck ordering a bombing
raid on a hapless fox and played by Johnny Cochran.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So wow, Jesus everybody. Everybody wins in that one.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, it's just fun. But it is like it's like
a Simpsons cameo for Henry Kissinger, right.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
You know, right, like it's just absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Just trying to normalize the ship.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
But let's yeah, like let's really, let's really acknowledge the
real person who took Kissinger's life.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yes, Nicki manach yep, exactly, she said. So she tweeted
the fact that y'all have no idea what's about to
happen because she has now coming out before his pas died,
and so, uh, you know, some people like at space
(05:37):
Ghost on Twitter responded, thanks for killing Kissinger, Queen of
Prayer Hands, Which, yeah, I think this is the first
celebrity death we have that people have not attributed to
the COVID vaccine.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, right, right, right right. I think because he has
like appeal to conservatives too for just being like a
just blood thirsty war criminal that they're like, no, no,
I mean that guy he made it to a hundred.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, they don't want to they don't want to even
admit he got vaccinated, because how the fuck did he
make it to a hundred? Like any anything that this
guy did throughout his life is sort of like you
could see people being like, well, I guess I'm doing
that because right, he lived to one hundred with that
shit on his contracts.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And also like same with that dude Charlie Munger, who
was the Berkshire Hathaway dude that passed away, that billionaire
who was trying to build a fucked up cell block
dormitory at UCSB. He recently passed away at ninety nine.
He was like ready to celebrate, apparently he was planning
his hundredth birthday. But that guy, like he was famously
being like I don't like to exercise, Like I don't exercise.
I drink diet coke like I try not to exercise.
(06:46):
So you'd never know how long these people last. You
never know.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I'm on that Kissinger diet, Like I'm curious because he
didn't like look good ever, he always looked like kind
of a.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
No, he started to look like a fucking snail by then.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Juliana Margalise cool Uh is trending because she was on
a podcast and basically out did Amy Schumer with her
like dehumanizing racist rhetoric.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, just why related to Palestine? Yeah, I mean like
she was basically doing that like sort of propaganda talking
point that tries to discourage people from having any semblance
of solidarity with Palestinian people by being like, you know,
like if you're gay, they'd murder you, right, and then
proceeds to really specific come after like black people, like
(07:35):
black queer people too, and saying that black people were
like uneducated and like they need to leave America like
if they don't like this shit, that blah blah blah.
And it's just wild to see that this kind of
this kind of rhetoric goes completely unnoticed and it's fine,
it has no bearing or effect on your career at all,
(07:55):
and you're like, wow, this is some wild shit. She's like,
don't play soccer with your head, okay, and then she
said something she's like, as someone who played a lesbian
on TV, I'm off, yes, yeah, it was very very strange,
And again, like I think we're living in a time
where this can just be like yeah, yeah, cool, cool,
(08:16):
you said that. I merely saying like we need a
cease fire or like people shouldn't live under occupation is
being distorted and conflated with with talking with anti semitism
or some other inflammatory rhetorics. So yeah, interesting times, interesting times.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, there's also like the pictures. I feel like that
Israel has taken a hit in terms of like the
media because of like the pictures of the postages being
freed and like looking pretty well taken care of or.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Saying things like they did their best and not mistreating
us at all.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
But there seems to be a full on offensive of
like actually people are with Israel, and like this poll
says it that everybody hates Palace Stein wants to be
with Israel, and Israel is actually popular and Palestine Okay,
maybe Hamas, but like Hamas is the same as Palestine,
Like nobody likes them even so, like why are you.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Guys even talking about them? Yeah, like they're so over
It's like what what kind of rhetorical style is this? Yeah,
but yeah, it's I mean we're like right now, I
think it's what the seventh day I so far of
hostage exchanges and some semblance of a pause not a
seaful on ceasefire. Yeah, so we you know, will continue
to see where that goes, but as of right now,
(09:34):
it seems like things will just continue.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
George Santos uh is it's looking like he might be
coming to the end of his run as a politician,
but definitely not his run in the public eye. Like
the reality shows have to be lining up, right, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, maybe, I mean this guy he's so messy, he's
a fraudster, he's a huckster, and like he is fighting
for his life right now. Uh. He is like out
here sounding like r Kelly in the chambers of the
House talking about how like everyone's attacking him and he's
just a good person. Here's just a bit of it.
(10:14):
And obviously, look, we talked about how much scamming this
motherfucker did, So let's not act like you're innocent, George.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I have been convicted of no crimes, mister speaker. My
loyalty to this country that gave me life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness is true and unquestionable. I stand
here today debating for the second time in less than
a month for the same exact reasons that were brought
(10:41):
up last time.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
The difference is is.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
That one can say I've been indicted once more by
the findings of the Ethics Committee. Yeah, process that by
amission of the cheer himself was not completely inclusive.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
One can say, it's like such a bad difference, like
when like a scam has completely hit the end and
they're like, I just gotta say shit.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Kind of reminds me of the ship we're talking about
tomorrow with Elon Musk, where it's just like we're at
the end of the scam and it's just the the
logic no longer coheres. Yeah, I'm fighting for my life.
They are destroyed. No, but that's what.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Many people say when they've been caught and it's it's
over now. And he was trying to do some shit
like I think he's trying to oust was a bowman
or some shit too, and people are like, you are
the please stop even trying to introduce fucking bills, like
let's get the fuck out of here. But again, you
see how quickly the Republicans can deal with someone when
they want.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
To, when they really really want If I'm going down,
then I know these people are all coming with me,
and he's like, drag it, trying to drag them along
with me.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, there's one point where like Matt gate Gates got
up and he's like, I stand not to defend George
Santos whoever he is and then completely cooks them.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, so it's it's all bad, you know, but who knows,
Like if you're really gonna if he's gonna really be
messy on the way, I know he's probably gonna say something.
He's got to say something super wild before he fully exits.
So yeah, yeah, anyway, so that's what the that's what
Congress is doing while we're dealing with an omni crisis.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
But yeah, stuff, Whatever happened to Madison Cawthorn. Is he
like just in a pole somewhere, like because he was
he was on the verge of saying some wild shit.
He was like, yeah, I got invited to like a
sex party, like yeah week at here, and then they
were just like and you're no longer in office. Yeah no,
I mean now.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
The last thing that happened was he brought he had
a gun on him at the airport. Yeah, and then
he had to plead guilty to those charges.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
But he just kept doing that ship that was just yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah there And I think so, I don't know, I
think he moved to like Florida or something, So maybe
he has a podcast one does five people listen to?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
All Right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.
And we're back, And there's a casting announcement for a
new cartoon on Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire network that has
(13:18):
some names. So this ship has some people attached, like
Adam Carolla. Now I'm just joking.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
What's he doing there?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Alonzo Bowden from who if you ever listened to Weight? Wait,
don't tell me commit at stand up media? Yeah, Brett Cooper, No,
I don't know who the fuck that is. Yeah, Danny Trejo, Yeah,
that's not not my Danny, not Danny. And then Rob Wriggle.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, and even Kyle Dunn again though, the comedian.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Kyle Dune again. Yeah, what damn.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
He's that's like a wild one too.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Oh that kills me. Yeah, like a lot of off Kyle.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
People are like looking around being like, yo, what the what?
What what is this? Is there another Kyle done again?
You know what I mean? Yeah, I have a feeling,
No it it's him, it's him.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Uh yeah, I could see a shift, you know, I mean, yeah,
you are seeing a shift, right.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah. Everybody's just kind of like, Okay, we're good. We're good.
Because then the other people on there too, uh, Danny
tre Hill, Patrick Warburton, I mean, I'm I don't I
don't know where his politics are. Jane Moore, uh, Rob
and Rosembar. Isn't Janmore married to Genie Bus? Now?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Is he really?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Oh? Patrick Warburton's putty all right, yeah, pudd Yeah, I
don't know who. I don't know these names.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Damn yeah, Jane Moore is married to Genie.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
But anyway, so jar is married to Jeanie Buss.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yes, they got married in Lake Timber. Yes, doctor Busses,
the president of the Lakers. Genie Buss, doctor Buss's daughter. Wow. Yeah.
So a lot of people were like, what are y'all doing?
Like do y'all know that it's on the daily wire?
But you know, uh, I guess this is I get
checks the check and if you and if you fuck
with the network, I guess it is what it is.
(15:16):
So uh, you know, a good a good way to
just find out where people are doing their things right now?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Damn all right? The White House Christmas tree blew over
and Breitbart knows what this means. They they said their
headline was weakness Biden National White House Christmas Tree toppled.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
So, oh, weakness Okay, yeah, man.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I told you Biden's week on the wind is week
on Christmas.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
It's funny because for all those windmills he puts up,
didn't think he'd fold so quickly to one.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Am I right?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
That? Huh? Weird?
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Weird? All the lights were even turned on. So our
writer jam like dug into the history of White House
Christmas trees. Right, And in nineteen eighty one, Ronald Reagan
refused to come out and light the Christmas tree. He
did it by remote control from inside the White House.
And then he did that for the entirety of his
(16:12):
presidential administration. Can you imagine, Like, granted he had just
survived the assassination attempt, so I'd give him like that
byre they would fucking destroy any democratic president who did that.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
That's so wild that he was just like, well, I'm
gonna I'm stay in here do it by remote control.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
The last few times I was in public, I was
caught lacking, so I don't want to be you know,
the here again, Nancy. Yeah, that's so what. There was
like a fucking like a switch, like did they even
make a like its ceremonial like and with this button press,
I will light up the lights or the shit just
turned on, and like, yeah, he's in there, I guess
you can.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah that was the president. Must be the president who
turned that one on. He cares about you and he's
good president. Yeah, but yeah, I don't know. It's been
a thing since the early early nineteen hundreds, as opposed
to the late nineteen hundred. The early nineteen hundreds, when
(17:14):
a person who worked for Woodrow Wilson came through and
was like, Hey, I think it would be good for
Christmas if we did a Christmas tree. And then it
turned out he was just the vice president of the
industry trade group, the Society for Electrical Development, and they
were trying to popularize this new idea of electric Christmas lights.
(17:35):
Oh and shit of that horse, and now we have
electric Christmas light every year.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
This needs to be a book called it. Nothing fucking
matters or makes sense because it was all about making
money for somebody else the whole goddamn time making fucking lights,
and like, yo, we need to get this shit happened, man,
press the fucking president, bro, get on the fucking like
that shit.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Also the first Christmas tree, so when they did like
do that, the first one got so fucked up during
transport that the White House staff had to like literally
tie branches from a healthy evergreen tree onto the Christmas
tree like on some Charlie Brown.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Shit Frankin tree shit.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah, wow, saddest little Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, I mean shit, I got my I got my
fake tree.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You're a require a fake treer.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Oh yeah, my shit's up right now. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
We got we got our we got our tree last weekend.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah. Yeah, that's it. I mean I think once for me,
like I always wanted a tree that's at least like
five and a half or six feet tall, like at
a minimum. Would you go to the fucking tree lot
that shit's like one fifty or something crazy like that.
I'm like, nah, I'll just buy, Like I'll just buy
the fake thing and I'll put the scent sickles on,
you know. Shout out Anna for putting me onto those
home deeps.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Shout out to the parking.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Lot at home Depot, Home Depot Brouck.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Nah, I love them ken laying their owner.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
That's my guy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Also, uh so, just another great moment in the history
of presidential trees. Nixon's tree in nineteen seventy the train
carrying it from South Dakota derailed twice Jesus, and then
it fell over in the wind. I didn't hear bright
part plain about that.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like them too that it fucking
bulbs on the tree also exploded them because they.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Both found that tree exploded because of the fireproof spread.
It feels like the electric lights might have been way
too early, Like I feel like they just like I
have a friend whose house burnt down from a Christmas
tree when we were adults, like when he was his
like late twenties. His house burnt down from his Christmas tree.
(19:49):
Like his dog didn't make it. It's fucked up, Oh my.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
God, because the lights like sparked up the tree and shit.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah yeah, oh, and like I feel like they just
got the Christmas tree lighting technology, like at least men. Yeah, yeah,
like these, but this motherfucker was popularizing it in like
nineteen twenty three. Yeah, because you know it would.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Be like some shit too, Like I remember like people
put like fucking fragrances on a light bulb and shit,
you're like, oh, that might not be a great fucking combo.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
It's like you're putting fuel on a heat source. But
I remember like those og Christmas lights from the eighties
and shit that were like the size of your thumb.
Those ss will get so fucking hot. Yeah I can.
Yeah anyway, so shout out led technology. I guess keeping
us safe.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
All right, Well, those are some of the things that
are trending on this final episode of November No good
fucking Ridge, November.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
One last time, you fucking ghostly loser, thirty fucking days.
