Why Trump’s Sharpie is the Most Powerful Weapon in Politics


What happens when a new administration shakes the foundations of national policy? We tackle this question head-on, examining the flurry of executive orders following Donald Trump's inauguration, from merit-based hiring to the heated debate over gender identity recognition. Our conversation takes you through the administration's firm stance on immigration, with heightened border security and deportation efforts. We explore the overdue release of files on the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations, noting the significant implications of these disclosures and reflecting on the broader national shift in direction. The discussion is charged with urgency and decisiveness, mirroring the assertive changes taking place. But that's not all—we journey into modern controversies, from the tangled web of JFK conspiracy theories to the contentious world of weight loss drugs. Our critique extends to the handling of gender identity on official documents and celebrates a move toward "common sense" policies, such as Marco Rubio's new role as Secretary of State and the end of electric car mandates. With a lighter touch, we explore celebrity reactions to Elon Musk's antics and the irony therein, all wrapped up with our promise to return to a regular weekly schedule. Tune in for a mix of serious discourse and humorous insights that promise to engage and entertain.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
What you just said is one of the most insanely
idiotic things I have ever heard.
At no point in your rambling,incoherent response were you
even close to anything thatcould be considered a rational
thought.
Everyone in this room is nowdumber for having listened to.

(00:22):
It is now dumber for havinglistened to it.
You don't know what that oughtto is, mr Trash.
I'd show you, but I'm too old,I'm too tired, I'm too fucking
blind.
If I were the man I was fiveyears ago.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
I'd take a flamethrower to this place.
Do you understand the words?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
that are coming out of my mouth.
You want answers.
I think I'm entitled.
You want answers.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
I want the truth.
You can't handle the truth.
Oh, we've said it once, we'vesaid it before, we've said it a
million times the truth's alwaysat the crease.
This is Tim.
It's gonna slam on the madramblings of a Gen Xer.
We want to talk about all theexecutive orders.
We want to talk about snow inFlorida.
We want to just talk abouteverything that's going on in
this country and how quicklythings are changing.

(01:19):
When Donald Trump becamepresident just almost four short
days ago, officially he, ofcourse, was the president-elect,
but now that he's beenofficially in office since the
20th, things have happenedrapidly.
Things are happening quickly.
There is a change in thiscountry that we have not seen in

(01:40):
the last four years.
Dei, or didn't earn it is, isvery prevalent, with the fact
that it has now been removedfrom government.
Government Now, per executiveorder of Trump, I'm going to say
executive order 147.
I don't really know what orderit is.
It's saying that you need tohire people now off of merit.
You have to hire people,shockingly, that are actually

(02:04):
qualified for the role inreference to having the
education, the experience, andnot use race, creed or color or
religion or sexual orientationas the reason to hire them.
That's just fucking crazy.
Who would want to do that?
Why would you want to putpeople in roles that they're

(02:30):
qualified to be in?
That's just nuts.
And then one of the otherexecutive orders we'll call it
Executive Order 4296, trump saidthat the United States
government will only recognizetwo sexes and that, of course,

(02:54):
is going to be male and female.
So it took an executive orderfour years later by the
president of the United Statesto have the audacity to tell
people that you only have a PPor a vagina.
That we literally had.
We have gone.
We went so wacky for fourfucking years.

(03:15):
We literally have to tellpeople hey, listen, look down
and tell me what you have andthat's what you are.
You can feel that you areanything.
You can think you are anything.
Hell, you can think you're a.
You are a non-binary pinkfucking elephant.
But when you go to the DMVthey're going to ask you do you
have a PP or a vagina?

(03:35):
I mean, has common sense, sensefinally been restored in this
country?
Has has, has, has just commondecency finally been restored
that you're just saying topeople hey, listen, biologically
there are only two sexes,that's it.

(03:56):
You can tell me anything youwant.
You said well, there are many.
I always love people.
There are many.
There are many layers anddivisions.
No, you have a pee-pee or youhave a vagina.
You can feel whatever you wantto feel.
You can think you are whateveryou want to think you are, but

(04:17):
at the end of the day, that'swhat you have.
Trump has also assigned manyexecutive orders in reference to
the border itself.
Border crossings in the firstfour days of his presidency have
already dropped 30%.
Ice is now going through citieswith a vengeance, I believe day

(04:40):
one.
They brought in 308 criminalillegal immigrants.
Listen, if you're in thiscountry illegally, you are a
criminal, even if you did notcommit a crime in your country
of origin.
If you came here and enteredthe country illegally, you are a
criminal.
I don't care if it's anonviolent crime.
You violate the sovereignty ofthe United States by crossing

(05:01):
its border without going througha point of entry of the United
States.
By crossing its border withoutgoing through a point of entry,
you are a criminal.
Oh my God, it feels so goodjust to say shit like that again
.
Deportation flights havealready started.
Trump is already sending,always sending, these criminals

(05:22):
back to where they belong, whichis not here.
I love the other day where theHaitian criminal was screaming
that he's not going back toHaiti.
He's not going back to Haiti.
Fuck Donald Trump.
He long lived.
Joe Biden Well, joe Biden's nothere, stupid, and your free
fucking ride is over.
It is done.
Get out.

(05:44):
Don't let the door hit youwhere the good Lord splits you
and that's the end of that.
Another 530 illegal immigrantswere caught just yesterday.
On Thursday, I got it.
You had ice running through oneof the fish markets in Newark,

(06:04):
new Jersey, round roundingpeople up.
We know where these people are.
It just took somebody with theballs to go out and say you are
not supposed to be here.
You are a burden on thiscountry.
You are a burden on thetaxpayers.
You are a burden in general.
You weren't invited.
It's time to go.
I always ask liberals the samething.
You're sitting at your house.

(06:25):
You see a stranger on thestreet.
It's 1130, 12 o'clock at night.
They are staring at your house.
Do you just leave your doorunlocked and go to bed, or do
you lock your door and callsomeone?
Well, you know what?
That's what the American people, that's what millions upon
millions of American people did.
They called someone and saidhey, trump, please lock up this

(06:45):
country.
Trump also just signed anexecutive order the other day
releasing the files on the JFK,rfk and MLK assassination files.
These files should have beenreleased a long time ago.
He was basically Trump wastalked out of it during his
first term, which I didn't agreewith.
But Trump, people think he isjust this guy.
That's just, he's thatfreewheeling cowboy out of it
during his first term, which Ididn't agree with.

(07:05):
I mean, but Trump does you know?
People think he is just thisguy.
That's just, he's not freewilling cowboy, he just he's the
guy in the black hat that'sjust screaming yeehaw right in
the nuclear warhead down to theground.
No, he's, he's not slimpickings people.
I'll give you time to Googlethat and Google that movie
reference.
That's why they call the showMad Ramblings of a Gen Xer which

(07:25):
I laugh, because we got aletter from, I think, buzz
something, buzz feed orsomething that we are the top 40
Gen X podcast.
We are ranked number two, whichI find strangely weird For so
many different reasons.

(07:46):
But the JFK secrets file shouldhave been released, should have
been released a long time ago.
I believe they have 14 days torelease the JFK files and I
think they have longer for, yeah, they have 15 days to present a
plan to the president to fullyand completely release the
records of the JFK assassinationand 45 days to do so for the

(08:08):
RFK and MLK cases.
Now, kennedy was shot, of course, in November 1963 in Dallas.
It was always thought that itwas Lee Harvey as well, not
those men on the grassy knoll.
And two days after theassassination, club owner Jack

(08:30):
Ruby then ended it all byputting a bullet in Lee Harvey.
So he never knew truly what wasgoing on.
For those that do not know, ofcourse Oswald was a.
He was a Marine veteran, but hehad defected to the Soviet
Union four years before theassassination and I believe it

(08:51):
was in in in September of 63,that he visited the Cuban
consulate in Mexico city andcontacted the Soviet embassy.
So there's always been that,there's always been that
connection.
Two weeks before theassassination he wrote a letter
to the Soviet embassy inWashington complaining I have
been able to reach a Sovietembassy in Havana as planned.

(09:14):
The embassy there would havehad time to complete our
business.
There's going to.
You know it's.
It's that's going to be like aweek long show Once we get to
that.
Because I want to know what'sgoing to be like a week-long
show once we get to that,because I want to know what's
going on here.
All this not all this but a lotof this has to also do with
Robert F Kennedy Jr, who Trumpnominated to serve as the

(09:35):
Secretary of the Department ofHealth and Human Services.
You mean, we're actually goingto have a healthy guy who takes
care of his body, eats, right incharge of making us healthy.
Yeah, overweight men who arepretending to be women can no
longer tell us what we need todo to be healthy.
You know not to get off topic,but I'm going to get off topic.

(09:59):
What is obscentic, obscentic,whatever the hell the weight
loss shot is that everyone'sgoing.
All this first started withcelebrities.
Everyone was going crazy andgaga.
It was actually to help diabetespatients, and I do find it
funny that there are certaindiabetes patients that are
having a hard time getting thedrugs.
It's like life-saving for them,because people are overweight,
people with no self-control, aretrying to lose weight and

(10:22):
they're basically prescribingthis thing like it's candy, not
knowing some of therepercussions.
Now there, there are a lot ofgood things about these drugs,
because it helps reduceinflammation in your body, which
then, in turn, helps you loseweight and basically what it
does is it curtails the cravingsyou have to eat.
But then I love it because theyhad a report come out the other

(10:43):
day that basically said well,it could also cause kidney
damage and liver failure and allthis.
Oh and by the way, yeah, youspend $1,500 a month to get
these shots, but once you stoptaking the shots, yeah, you
spend $1,500 a month to getthese shots, but once you stop
taking the shots, the cravingsreturn.
So you never actually find outthe underlying reason why you
have these cravings.
You don't find out the reasonwhy you are basically eating the

(11:09):
way you're eating.
You're not finding out what'sthe root cause.
Could be psychological, couldbe something physical, I don't
know, because all this does isit's like getting the more
evasive stomach surgery, stomachstapling.
All that stomach stapling doesis make your stomach smaller,
which allows you to eat less,which limits your cravings, and

(11:29):
that's all these drugs do.
But the problem is, when youcome off, after spending $1,500
a month on this medication, well, all the cravings just happen
to come back.
So technically you are notfixing anything and you're
spending $18,000 a year forthese shots, so you can not have

(11:51):
these cravings, so you can loseweight without really having to
exercise or do anything else.
Oh, I just I love it.
I truly love our ability toprocess things.
Oh my God, I love it, though,because things oh my God, I love

(12:15):
it though because, getting backto immigration, secretary of
State, new Secretary of StateMarco Rubio from the great state
of Florida, has scrapped USpassport applications, allowing
Americans to designate theirgender as X, terminator X.
Yeah, because there are twofucking sexes.

(12:38):
How many years of biology doyou have to take to become a
doctor?
I'm going to tell you real easyDrop your pants and I can tell
what you are.
It's not that difficult, butfor four years, we had to be
like well, I know you could be amale but feel like a female,

(12:58):
but dress like a male but thenbe able to use the bathroom of a
female because you think you'rea female, even though your
outward appearance says thatyou're a male.
Great balls afar.
How many times have we said thatcommon sense and decency has

(13:18):
returned?
You could hate trump you, youcould.
You could think he's vile, butall these world leaders are now
lining up to kiss his ring.
I love it.
You had all these guys talkingtough the president of Mexico.
She was like we're not going todo anything with Trump.
Well, you know, we're willingto work with Trump because you

(13:39):
know he's a great guy.
You have all these othercountries that are like
Greenland's, like we are nevergoing to be part of America,
we're a sovereign country.
And then all of a sudden you'vegot Donald Trump Jr visiting
Greenland and people areagreeing like hey, you know what
?
It might not be bad to beassociated with the United

(14:04):
States.
It's just common sense.
You're already looking at thefact that you will reduce
inflation by reducing the priceof gas and oil.
No longer will we have to sit.
Oh, that's another greatmandate.
That's another great anotherthing that he signed the other

(14:24):
day.
The electric car mandate is nowdead.
Executive order 2698.
No more electric car mandates.
Executive Order 2698.
No more electric car mandates.
Fuck you very much.
Get the hell out of here withyour George Judson cars that get
300 miles to the charge, theysay, but can take upwards of 10

(14:47):
hours to charge, unless you haveone of those Elon fast chargers
.
But don't worry, that's okay.
It's not something that we'reready for the electric grid is
ready for.
We don't have theinfrastructure for everyone to
have these cars.
California shows that everysummer with the rolling
blackouts because they don'thave enough power.
I love California becauseCalifornia told people last year

(15:08):
listen, don't plug in your carto charge between the hours of 6
pm, and I think it's like 3 pmor 3 am the next morning.
So if you get home from work at6, you're not allowed to charge
your car to go to work the nextday because they have rolling
blackouts.

(15:32):
Oh, I mean, I like.
I mean I like the Tesla truck.
I think the Tesla, I mean toTesla truck, if you get the
black one, you look like you'refucking Batman.
But do you really want to spendseven?
Does an American citizen wantto spend $70,000 on a truck just
to look like Batman?
I might.
I'm Batman, I always wanted tobe Batman.

(15:57):
But no, things are changingquickly, things are changing
rapidly.
Things are changing to thepoint that, like I said, you
bring down gas and oil prices.
That's going to bring down therate.
That is going to bring downinflation.
That's going to bring down thecost to transport things, which
then will be passed on to theconsumer.

(16:17):
It's not really that difficultto figure out.
You lower the cost of making,you lower the cost of a company
to produce something or to nothave to import it, that will all
of a sudden be passed on to theconsumer.

(16:39):
I know it's.
It's a crazy.
It's a crazy thought.
You become energy independentagain and you are.
You become a net exporter ofenergy.
You know what crazy shithappens.
Everything starts, costs startgoing down, inflation starts

(16:59):
going down, interest rates startgoing down.
We never talk about.
They always talk about well,the inflation rate is at only
3.96.
But what they fail to tell youis, and what they report on the
majority of the time, is not theinflation rate, it is the rate
of inflation.
It is the rate the inflationincreases monthly, not what the

(17:25):
current inflation rate is onproducts.
So you could tell me that therate of inflation, the rate of
inflation, has only grown at2.6% this month.
But the problem is, when eggsare at 22% inflation, you're not
telling me anything.
You're just telling me how therate of inflation is not growing

(17:46):
, not what the actual inflationrate is.
How many times have we addressedthat here?
And sometimes I feel like I'mbanging my head about this.
It's just lunacy.
It used to be lunacy wrapped innuttiness and you had these

(18:09):
people asking questions and it'sjust like you know what.
We need to start looking atthis country first.
We need to figure out a way tohelp the American people and
help the American people thriveagain and help them put food on
the table and help them findjobs that allow them to live,

(18:31):
and one of those things to do isto help lower costs.
But we don't want to talk aboutthat.
We didn't want to talk about it, but we want to talk about it
now.
Trump has, in the last four days, has given more press
conferences, answered morequestions than Biden has in

(18:53):
years.
Transparency Reporters don'tknow what to do.
They really don't.
I was watching the firstexecutive orders being signed
day one and I think you had theone reporter from Brazil and she
just kept asking questions andat one point in time you're like

(19:13):
shut up.
We want to hear what theexecutive orders are, but she
just she just kept askingquestions Like she didn't know
what to do.
I'm allowed.
I'm allowed to keep askingquestions.
What the fuck's going on here?
Usually it's just like oh, youget one question, I'm not really

(19:34):
going to answer it, but thenI'm going to turn around and the
president's going to run out.
There's still lunacy, though.
There's still lunacy in thiscountry.
You had the National PrayerService the other day and you

(19:54):
had the wacky bishop, who was aradical left bishop, come out
and say that you have to showcompassion.
You have to show compassion forpeople that are here illegally
and for people that don't knowwhether I have a pee-pee or a
vagina.
You have to show compassion forthem.
I have a pee, pee or a vagina.
You have to show compassion forthem.

(20:15):
No, you don't.
You don't.
You are a radical left, lunaticBishop who who, you know it was
amazing with all this, evenafter she did this.
You don't think she wants anypress out of it.
No, she just ends up on thefucking view, view, oh my God.

(20:40):
We are so done now with thiscriminal first mindset, with
these illegal immigrant mindsets.
Maybe we're going to take careof our veterans.
Maybe we're going to evict someof these people out of these
hotels, who don't belong hereanyways, and actually move in
American families and veteranswho are living on the street and
can't get help from the VA fromthe last four years.
Maybe we, maybe we can dothings such as that.
Maybe it's the fact that weneed to have our own American

(21:01):
innovation.
Maybe it's the fact that wehave to have our own American
manufacturing so we don't haveto worry about relying on China
for components to build I don'tknow missiles, maybe we, maybe
we just need to, maybe we justneed to learn those things.
Maybe we need to build aninfrastructure again.
Where you were built and we'remade in America will actually

(21:23):
literally mean something.
Elon showed us the way.
With everything he's done, heis a big part of the
administration.
I love the fact, though, thatpeople are calling him.
You know, elon.
He's kind of a weird guy.
He's kind of a socially awkwardguy.
So during that one rally he wasdoing, he was kind of throwing

(21:45):
his hands up in the air andpeople were like look, look,
it's a Nazi salute, it's a Nazisalute.
Look at that Nazi salute.
And I love it, because thebrilliance of Melissa Milano
from who's the Boss and whateverTV show she was on, saw this
and got rid of her Tesla.

(22:06):
And then she posts I've got ridof my Tesla because I'm not
going to support a Nazi.
I went out and bought aVolkswagen electric car.
You mean the Volkswagen car,which was basically founded by
the Nazis.
It was a Nazi-run organizationthat started out by being part

(22:29):
of the Nazi regime.
That Volkswagen, oh yeah, thatmakes tremendous amounts of.
That just makes sense to me,and I love it because you have
the AOC, andres Ocasio-Cortez,come out and say you know what?
Look at that, he's throwing upthis Nazi salute.
How can you support him?
And then the video surfaces ofher doing the same thing

(22:51):
recently at a rally this summer.
Surfaces of her doing the samething recently at a rally this
summer.
Uh, so many people want to beright about so many things that
they're just wrong abouteverything.
Oh, we're gonna try to get backto doing the show weekly.
Last episode was december 19th,so I'll try to do at least a
weekly show.
And there's always a truth toshow, isn't your free?
This is tim.
It's gonna find law in the madramblings ofnify Law and I'm out

(23:12):
of here.
