Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Chelsea Hellosness.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
It's just Amanda warming up before the cutting room floor.
I'm ready. Hello, Hello, Hello, cutting room flour.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
What's on it?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well, let's talk about the fact that Taylor Swift has
endorsed Karmala Harris.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
A bold, bold move, because I've noticed, if anything, Trump
supporters are very dogged about their support of Donald Trump.
Any alternative, and you're some sort of woke lefty who
wants migrants to live in your house and eat or
your ducks.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well, they already think Taylor Swift is a woke lifty,
so she's got nothing to lose by endorsing Karmla Harris.
The thing, in America, we have compulsory voting. Here, they don't,
and so someone liking Trump, someone liking Karmala Harris isn't
enough to get them to vote. You have to turn
fans into voters. You have to actually activate them to

(01:14):
get out of their houses.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
They vote during the week.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
They don't even have a weekend voting system, and so
it's actually harder in terrible weather conditions all of that
to get people to leave their houses to vote during
the week when they're trying to work and all the
rest of it.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
So it's not easy to.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Convert people who have a vague interest in who runs
the country into actual voters. But that's what Taylor Swift
has done. That's what's interesting about this. So this is
what Taylor Swift has said. Part of what she said
is I think she's steady handed, a gifted leader, and
I believe we can accomplish so much more in this
country if we're led by calm and not chaos, with
love and hope. Taylor Swift Childless cat Lady. She's talking

(01:51):
about Chili's cat Ladies because this is what Trump's running
mate J d Vance has said. The world's going to
be on Childer's cat Ladies if KRMLA Harris gets.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
It on it.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
So, more than three hundred and thirty seven thousand people
have clicked on the voter registration link that Taylor Swift
put when she tweeted that. So she's put up a
voter link on her socials, and more than three hundred
and thirty seven thousand people have registered to vote. Because
not only do you have to turn up to vote,

(02:22):
you have to register to vote a number of steps
before you get to.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
The volume, like you here weis to vote here had.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
That's right, but it is compulsory. There there are a
number of steps to get through to convert people to
being voters.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
So that's extraordinary.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Do you know how how many social media followers Taylor
Swift has?

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Have a guess? Ah, it's like a two million, five
hundred and.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Fifty point five million. WHOA, that's how many followers Taylor
Swift has. Why I just googled it. Five hundred and
fifty point five don't forget them million followers. So the
power of that woman maybe turn an election, maybe not,
but the power of her indoors is quite extraordinary. Elon
Musk who's been moving further and further right and in

(03:06):
some people's eyes, kind of bonkers. Actually he's becoming He's
in Trump's pocket. But he's been responding very strangely to
a variety of things. Here's what he said about Taylor Swift.
He has said, fine, Taylor, you win, I'll give you
a child and guard your cats with my life.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
This is a man twice her.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Age saying I'll give you a child and guard your
cats with my life. People are saying it's weird, it's bizarre.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
It's just unusual. Yeah, it's a obviously he's joking.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Is he joking?

Speaker 2 (03:40):
He's the joke meaning I'll give you a child, you
won't be childless anymore. But what a rude thing to
say to a powerful young woman. What a dumb thing
to say to a powerful young woman. Do you know
who's one of the people who's commented on this. Well,
actually I saw a tweet and I was hoping it
was real as her boyfriend Travis Kelcey, and it said
you may not know this, but I'm college educated.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
I have a degree. Elon.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
You like to think I'm a bit of an idiot,
but I can turn you.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Into a pretzel. Sadly, it wasn't real. That bit wasn't real.
Elon Musk's tweet is real, but his isn't.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
But a number of people have come out, one of
whom is Elon Musk's own estranged daughter.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
She's a transgender child.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah, and they said, yes, I saw the.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Tweet, And hilariously they have said tweet because it's now
known as X. I saw quote the tweet. I don't
really have anything to add to it. It's just a borrand.
That much is obvious. And if you don't see how,
then you're part of the problem.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
So this is why Elon Musk hates the trans is
because his daughter is one. I always thought that if
you had a transgender member in your family, you might
be a bit more sympathetic to that. But then it
might be those things when someone comes home and said
you were you know, they're gay, and the parents turn
their back on them.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Or maybe he was anti trans before his daughter transitioned.
Maybe they transitioned in light of his comments. You just
don't know what order of events that was. But Elon Musk,
who you remember, we've spoken before on the show about this.
How I used to waste I wasted a crush on
Elon Musk years ago.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
He was so scientifically interested. He was pushing the boundaries.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
He's looking at ways to store solar power in batteries.
He had electric cars. I thought, what an interesting man,
and now I think, what a nut job. I've wasted
a crush on him. It's like someone I know how
to crush on, Boris Johnson, and I went, oh my god,
what a wasted crush.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
That was a wasted, wasted crush.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
The crazy cat ladies of the world have made their choice. Okay,
that's a combats of love.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
