What if President Biden really had a weather machine at his fingertips? We kick off an entertaining journey through the maze of modern politics, starting with the latest antics of Marjorie Taylor Greene and a tongue-in-cheek pondering of Biden's climate-controlling gizmo. As the laughter fades, we tackle serious matters such as the media hurdles Biden faces and Kamala Harris's refreshing pivot to podcasts and YouTube, bypassing conventional channels perceived to be biased. Her strategy speaks volumes about the evolving media landscape, offering us a glimpse into her campaign's innovative approach to voter engagement.
Next, we unfold a lively discourse comparing the public personas and strategies of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Discover how Harris's genuine media appearances stand in stark contrast to Trump's familiar rally rhetoric. The conversation shifts gears, addressing Harris's diplomatic stance on international issues like the Ukraine conflict, and how it diverges from Trump’s past approaches. We also touch on the Trump-Putin dynamic, exploring alleged misinformation during Trump's tenure and reflecting on the broader implications for leadership and diplomacy in today's world.
Finally, we dive into the controversies surrounding Trump's actions and comments, as unveiled in Bob Woodward's new book "War." From allegations of sending COVID testing machines to Putin to his puzzling statements about hurricanes and energy, we critique the absurdities and contradictions in Trump's rhetoric. Through humor and critical analysis, we illuminate the peculiarities of Trump’s public statements, while highlighting Kamala Harris's tactical handling of these issues. Join us in this engaging episode, where we blend wit and critique to navigate the ever-evolving political discourse.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's our quip for the podcast today?
Oh, I know what it is, nevermind.
Okay, figured it out.
I forgot for a second.
It'll be a playoff of MarjorieTaylor Greene's Insanity.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I can't wait to never , ever have to hear her name
again.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Or see her face.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Especially see her face, especially see her face
yeah, or her direction.
Marjorie is a fine name, itsounds pretty out of context.
The face you can't, can't doshit with the face.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Don't want to see the rest of her body either.
If I can help it, I'm tired ofher.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I'm tired of that boyfriend of hers.
She's just a whole fucking mess.
Who's her boyfriend?
Her boyfriend brian glenn fromrsb oh yeah, yeah, she's still
fucking that fucking weirdo yeah, yeah, well, you know, I guess
she's.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
You know, at least she's not fucking the entire gym
now that we know of also true,right, I mean, and you know,
typically I'm in favor of womenfucking the entire gym.
Just go bananas with that likepro-sex positivity over here, uh
.
But you know, you can't also bea part of the party that
(01:18):
proclaims family values and be ahoe.
One, two, three, four.
Hey, this is D-Night.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
This is Carol, this is Ty.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You're listening to the Part of the Interaction
podcast where we do control thefucking weather.
Act up and we'll send a fuckinghurricane in your direction.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
We are the day.
Who blows the wind?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah D I like to imagine just like Biden is
sitting there in the Oval Officewith like the laptop open and
he just hits the hurricanebutton and poof when it
magically appears in the.
Gulf.
It's like that's what we'redoing here.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Somebody had posted a picture and it was some
contraption.
It was like oh, biden chainedit to a Calgary 5.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, Biden at the Express machine.
The hurricane on that.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
He's probably sitting here thinking like boy, if you
only knew I wish I had a fuckingweather machine to be done with
you people.
I think Biden is over it.
His last few times thequestions that he's been getting
and he's like man, get the fuckout of here.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You can tell he put his two weeks notice in in.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He don't give no fucks no more he's like y'all
can't fire me.
I can't wait to be done withthis shit.
Yeah, he's just snapping andeverything.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
because, in in all fairness to biden, like the
media just asks him such stupidfucking questions and if like
the, like the, maybe thequestion itself isn't super dumb
.
Sometimes the context of it isso stupid that you gotta dismiss
these fucking morons, andthat's probably why Kamala
Harris has been on the mostinsane media tour we've ever
(02:54):
seen from a presidentialcandidate here over the course
of the past week.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And you have to give it to Biden too.
He's been around a long time.
He is an old school centristkind of democrat.
He's what worked across theaisle, he's reached across the
aisle.
He's had friends from bothparties.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
So this is just bad shit to him right now he he's
like yeah well, he's, he is, hedoes the pennsylvania thing, but
in essence he is a southerndemocrat, you know, has its own
charm and appeal to it.
But also it's like we know he'snot putting up like they don't
put up with any bullshit.
He has that in spades.
(03:33):
But so, given the failures ofthe media, it's not surprising.
Kamala Harris here over thepast week has been on a historic
media blitz, doing everythingfrom 60 Minutes to the colbert
show and also hitting up everypopular podcast in america from
all the smoke, every popularpodcast, every popular podcast.
(03:56):
Well, you, know that we're notpopular, are you?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
saying we're not popular, or that kamala harris
is going to be on today's show.
Oh my God, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We're going to have Kamala Harris on later.
We'll save that for you.
I didn't want to spoil it, butfrom all the smoke to call her
daddy, even doing the Stern showto much regard, if you saw any
clips of that interview, she'sbeen out here doing it up.
The mainstream media is quiteupset.
They're saying that she's beenout here doing it up.
The mainstream media is quiteupset.
(04:26):
They're saying that she's notdoing enough interviews and not
talking to enough journalists.
Here she is doing everythingpossible to connect with the
voter, and that's what's mostimportant, given that the media
doesn't actually, uh, care abouttelling its viewers the truth
more so she knows, gen z ain'tsitting around watching andrea
fucking mitchell no, they're notyou know like no, that's not a
(04:49):
thing reading the new york thenew york times, for that matter
and the problem with the newyork times and these other media
outlets are obvious if you'vebeen paying attention over the
course of the past four years.
They're in the bag for trump.
I mean, we can just be honestabout that.
They don't.
While Trump is anextraordinarily dangerous threat
to the United States and totheir well-being if he wins,
(05:12):
he's also extraordinarily goodfor clicks, so they do
everything they can to milk himfor all he's worth, while also
doing absolutely nothing toendanger his chances of winning.
So, yeah, that's, that's thefault of the media, and so you
can understand what KamalaHarris is like.
Fuck you guys.
I will go straight to the placesthat that will be me in the
(05:33):
people's heads and, for the mostpart, in 2024, the world we
live in.
That is YouTube, podcast,twitch and such, and she's been
doing a fantastic job.
I think one of the complaintsthe media has been making over
the past well, ever since shebasically took over as the
democratic nominee, is that shedoesn't, you know, talk to the
(05:56):
public enough, that she doesn't.
The people don't know her, andshe doesn't tell anything about
herself and she doesn't talkabout policy.
Well, she's been doing that.
She's been doing a lot of thathere over the course of the past
week.
She uh recently unveiled herplan for the expansion of
medicare to cover like uhawesomeness in home treatment
(06:18):
yeah, a major change that wouldprobably benefit numerous
americans, especially those youknow from the 40, 50, 60 year
old range who are trying to workand take care of their kids and
take care of their parents andhaving to deal with uh, you know
medical issues within thefamily.
I mean, just a fantastic ideaand supported wholeheartedly and
(06:40):
she's awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Sorry, I guess I guess I mean she's thinking
forward.
She thinks about regular peopleand that is a huge thing, and
especially with the boomersgeneration, they're really going
to be needing assistanceworkers.
Things are super expensive.
(07:02):
Medicare advantage is garbagethat you know it's.
It's going to squeeze even morethose in my age range.
You know the 50, you know I'llsay 45 to you know 60 year olds
who still might have a kidthat's in high school or a kid
that's in college or maybe evena younger one if you got started
(07:24):
a little late, you know, withthe kids and then your parents,
and there could be anyunforeseen medical emergency in
your own life period regardingyourself yeah, maybe your
husband.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I'm well aware of that possibility and you know,
in contrast, trump's plan 2025,is basically to wipe out
Medicare.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
So you know, if you just like to know His plan has
always been if you are, ifyou're poor, you can die.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, you're laughing , but that's always been his
plan.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I'll tell you in two weeks.
Their plan is obviously if he'slike afford medical care you
deserve to die.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I mean, he did say that about his own great nephew.
You're not wrong.
Why are you taking care of thiskid?
You know I'm not, I'm not evenbeing hyperbolic.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I used to think that I was when I said shit like that
, but that's really.
That's clearly the plan.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
They don't think that people who can't afford you
know um capitalistic health caredeserve to live um, ty, and
ty's absolutely right about thathe basically told his I mean
basically said that his greatnephew could just die.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
He acted like it more callously to his nephew than
most people would treat theirdog.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
When people say things they're like oh well,
trump is, he's already said he'snot a part of 2025.
He also said that planes wouldfall out of the sky if the sun
wasn't shining.
Ok, so we're going to take that.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I mean, the other day he literally said one of the
first things he's going to dowhen he's elected president is
hire the guy Holland, I believe,is his name.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Oh, Tom Holman.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Holman yeah, and he's the architect of Project 2025.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, I don't know what I meant anyway, and he's
like that's, the first thing I'mgonna do is bring him back on.
And then I don't know whattheir thing is with stephen
miller right now and trying toturn him into some bachelor
candidate.
But that's just gross, that'syeah, I can't which oh, you
didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You didn't hear what jesse waters said about him uh,
it was a weird creepy videowhere they tried to make him
seem like some kind of boss,alpha man, and if you look at
Stephen.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
He's so gross, he's so gross.
He looks like some sort ofgremlin.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yes, the only women on the planet who are inclined
to have sex with him.
He would pay for Speaking ofKamala Harris and having her on
the show, which we actually donot.
Oh no, really Hate todisappoint you, but we do have a
clip of her on Stephen.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
Colbert, I want to ask you a question that Speaker
Johnson recently called a gotchaquestion.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
And it's a question that a lot of Republicans are
avoiding.
Did Donald Trump lose the 2020election?
Did Donald Trump lose the 2020election?
I know it's a hard question.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
You know I'm going to tell you what some of the
people in my rallies, quite afew people, are showing up by
the way.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
That's a damning non-answer.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
You know when you've lost.
You lost millions of jobs, youlost manufacturing, you lost
automotive plants, you lost theelection.
What does that make you A loser?
This is what somebody at myrally said.
I thought it was funny.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
It's accurate.
It's accurate.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
This is what happens when I drink beer.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
No, yeah, I mean it's been a lot of that Incredibly
funny, charming, witty, smart,thoughtful, and she's lame Seems
approachable, like you can havea beer with him.
Yeah, well, that came up.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I definitely have a beer with her man, but yeah if
you miss, I need a beer, but Idefinitely just yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I mean, I'm a fan of beer in terms of it's like the
alcoholic beverage I can drinkthe least of.
So if I'm trying not to getintoxicated and just want to
have like one drink, I'll crackopen here's it yeah, that's,
that's what I get that, I'm just.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I'm the same when it comes to beer.
I'm david's the exact opposite.
But yeah, if I'm like, I justwant to chill, yeah, and not go
off the rail I have one beer andthen that's probably because I
don't want to drink two, umanyway.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So yeah, largely her interviews have been consistent
with with that demeanor.
I mean, she's just winning overthe public with the, with the
charm but the genuineness, andtelling her story and talking
about her family and herexperiences.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I know you already mentioned how she got herself
onto all these shows, but, man,she is so resourceful and, like
I'm excited to have someone socapable as president.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And it's also nice to have like a vice president
currently who's not a fuckingweirdo like the vice
presidential candidate from theother party, but also, I would
say, just like the plan of.
It's like a month before theelection and she's doing all of
these high profile interviews,60 Minutes, and all the podcasts
(12:34):
and such, and Donald Trump'sbasically back to doing his same
old shtick at these rallies,talking about exploding cars.
I mean, it's just.
It's quite the incrediblecontrast.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
But he can't keep talking about exploding cars
once he has Elon Musk at therally.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Well you say that That'll be awkward you say that
he actually did that oh my.
God, he did say that.
That'll be awkward.
You say that he actually didthat.
Oh my God.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
He did say that he should ask him to stop talking
about EVs.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, and that was like right after talking about
hydrogen cars exploding.
But we also have a clip ofKamala Harris here being asked
about potentially meeting withVladimir Putin.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
What does success look like in ending the war in
Ukraine?
Speaker 6 (13:21):
There will be no success in ending that war
without Ukraine and the UNCharter participating in what
that success looks like.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Would you meet with President Vladimir Putin to
negotiate a solution to the warin Ukraine?
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Not bilaterally without Ukraine.
No, Ukraine must have a say inthe future of Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
As president, would you support the effort to expand
NATO to include Ukraine?
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Those are all issues that we will deal with if and
when it arrives.
At that point.
Right now, we are supportingUkraine's ability to defend
itself against Russia'sunprovoked aggression.
Donald Trump, if he werepresident Putin, would be
sitting in Kiev right now.
He talks about oh, he can endit on day one.
You know what that is?
(14:11):
It's about surrender.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah, very.
Goddamn, goddamn right insideof a comment from kamala harris
there, and that's an importantcontrast to how trump attempted
eating the dogs, oh no uh.
That's an important contrast tohow trump attempted to end the
war in afghanistan bynegotiating directly with the
tal, leaving out the Afghangovernment in its entirety and
(14:41):
negotiating a deal that involvedthe release of the 5,000
Taliban soldiers that ended upbeing partially including their
leader, which ended up beingpartially responsible for the
mess that was created by thelargest military withdrawal
we've ever seen in history.
And then kudos to Biden formanaging it.
(15:02):
Managing to pull that off withhis little chaos is what
happened, but I mean part of thereason the government fell is
Trump negotiated the surrenderof Afghanistan bilaterally.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I don't really understand how people don't get
you negotiated with terrorists.
So those terrorists decidingnot to hold to the agreement and
run in and attack.
Well, that's kind of whatterrorists do, yeah, you know,
not really known for keepingtheir word.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
And again, why would you negotiate with the Taliban
when the Afghan government wasrunning Afghanistan, unless the
whole point was to ensure thefall of Afghanistan and return
it A?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
poison pill for Biden .
Yeah, a poison pill.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
And that's also important for other reasons,
largely because, well, weunderstand what Trump's
relationship to Putin is to somedegree, and it's one of utter
fealty to Vladimir Putin.
And here we have PresidentBiden being asked about an
incident that occurred duringthe Trump administration in
regards to Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
May God bless you all , and may God protect those
serving in the eye of this storm.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
On behalf of our nation, thank you nation.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Why do you think Trump is spreading
misinformation?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Why do you think President Trump has sent?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
misinformation to.
President Putin during theheight of the pandemic.
Do you have a comment, sir?
Why do you think Trump isspreading misinformation?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah.
So if you didn't hear thatclearly, biden was asked why,
when Trump was president, was hesending extraordinarily
valuable COVID testing machinesto Vladimir Putin at the height
of the pandemic, when Americaneeded it most?
And he said it wasextraordinarily un-American.
That's an understatement.
(16:54):
He said it was extraordinarilyun-American.
That's an understatement.
So if you missed it, fyi, bobWoodward, famously from
(17:17):
reporting on Watergate, he'swritten a new book entitled War,
wherein some of some of that isdetailed that there was an
incident late in 2020, with thepandemic at its peak, trump
decided to send extraordinarilyvaluable and limited COVID
testing machines to VladimirPutin for his personal use.
And I know a lot of youthinking like, oh, it's like the
little strips where you takethe little personal tests.
Now, these are like themachines that can do the
repeated tests and they havelike this rapid response.
I think it's in somewhere inlike five minutes.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Like a PCR machine.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, kind of, and it was extraordinarily valuable
and in limited supply at thetime.
In all likelihood, there areprobably some patients that died
because we had a lack of thesemachines and Trump made a point
to personally send VladimirPutin numerous instances of
these items, and also it's beenthat Putin could screen his own
(18:02):
visitors in all likelihood, it'salso during the pandemic that
Trump knew was not fake, allright.
Which which.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Bob Woodward revealed in his previous book way after
the situation Fuck, bob Woodward.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Go on.
We'll get to all of that injust one second.
So, also in the book, woodwardreported that Trump also had a
private conversation with Putin,which Putin told Trump not to
tell anyone that Trump wassending those machines because
everyone would be mad at Trumpand not Putin, meaning that
(18:41):
Putin totally understood thepredicament that Trump would be
in for sending such aid of thatkind at that time to Russia.
So, yeah, I guess for starters,we can like I'm embarrassed by
the work Bob Woodward's beendoing over the course of the
(19:02):
well, the Trump era, just likeyou're doing all of this
investigative journalism, butyou're sitting on all of the
most valuable stories until youhave your book ready to go, as
opposed to sharing this valuableinformation to inform the
voters, which is, people weredying yeah you know like it's
unforgivable.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
It's egregious.
That behavior is un-american,it's complicit, 100 percent and
lacks the journalistic integritythat we thought he had because
of watergate.
But he's just been living offthose fumes for 50 years.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah, I mean and look , you know I get it, bro, like
you want to do some cloudchasing.
But obviously if I have someinformation that's
extraordinarily valuable interms of determining whether or
not, like a wannabe dictator,will get to win an election in
America, I'm probably going totry and do the right thing and
get that information out thereas soon as possible, not save it
(20:02):
for the fucking book sales.
I mean, it's just like shame onBob Woodward.
I know he's a super highlyrespected journalist in media
circles but like I'm a normalfucking guy just out here trying
to say like not only do whatlittle I can to save my
democracy but also not end up ina fucking concentration camp.
So in that regard, fuck BobWoodward, jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
But in terms, of damn journalist like he should.
But you know, then again, he isa white man and there's a
certain arrogance that comeswith that also he's old right, I
mean how many he doesn't haveto if he doesn't have to
Speaker 1 (20:39):
so reap what he's sown uh well, if anything, in
terms of his age, he grew up ina time where there were more
strict journalistic guidelines,so he would for sure be aware of
just the inappropriate natureof sitting on stores, and this
is not the first time he's doneit.
Like you said, this is apattern of behavior like Bob
(21:00):
Woodward.
In my opinion, at this point,it's kind of a piece of shit.
But also, as you were saying,look just more clear evidence.
Not only did Bob Woodwardearlier reported that Trump knew
that COVID was extraordinarilyserious, but like the fact that
if, like you know all of thosetimes, trump implied that COVID
(21:21):
was a hoax, why is he's in thefucking test of Vladimir Putin,
of all fucking people, likeJesus Christ?
And just not only that.
Like you said, ty, it's abetrayal of Americans, like we
needed those machines as much asanyone.
He's supposed to be responsiblefor American lives.
Just no concern for the outcomeof, you know, covid infections
(21:44):
in America, given that he dideverything he could in 2020 to
make sure that the infectionspread as far and wide as
possible, holding rallies.
I mean, even Herman Cain restin pieces, died out there on the
Trump campaign trail after asuper spreader event at a Trump
rally.
So yeah, I mean justextraordinarily embarrassing
(22:10):
behavior by both Trump andWoodward in this regard.
Obviously, trump's is moreegregious, but also the fact
that, like Putin, was well awareof the political the bar is
just so low for him that peoplethat's true, yeah.
Like if we could just hold Trumpto the same standard that we
hold just even anybody else likeliterally anyone else, like
(22:34):
this election would already beover.
But Putin being quite aware ofthe political implications of
trump doing this and telling him, hey, you got to keep this on
the low.
Uh, that implies that putin iswell aware also that he could
use this information toblackmail trump.
And you just gotta wonder, like, over the course of the past,
(22:54):
what year are we, in eight pasteight years of this trump
disaster, what shit right ortrump's done for putin in secret
that putin can hold over him?
Because I mean this, you know,despite the meat lack of media
coverage over it, it's a prettyhuge fucking deal.
And also, I guess, if you justthink about like, like, we have
(23:20):
no idea what kind ofconversations Trump's been
having with Putin.
But you know, wood reported inhis book that there could have
been somewhere up to sevenprivate calls between Trump and
Putin since he left office.
And I mean, jesus Christ, trumpwas sitting down there in
Mar-a-Lago with boxes and boxesof stolen, fucking classified
(23:41):
documents.
Who knows what kind of shit heshared with Putin.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
It's true, that is true.
And then what Putin shared withIran, that is like one of his
largest allies is Iran.
So I don't, I don't know, likewhere that's going, because
Trump wanted to bomb Iran beforehe left office, wanted to bomb
(24:10):
Iran before he left office, hewanted to.
I don't know, it's just all.
It's so much.
And I still want to know whatthe hell that Russian plane was
doing, sitting on the tarmac acouple of months ago next to
Trump's plane for two days, noidea.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
And the United Arab Emirate plane that they were all
in the same plane, all in a rowjust hanging out.
Yet look, just chilling.
I mean, you know, theoreticallywe don't know if the FBI
recovered all the stolendocuments in the rate of
Mar-a-Lago, so anything'spossible, I don't know.
I'm assuming the FBI waskeeping an eye on that, but you
never fucking know.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
They've never gone to badminster and searched
badminster though.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I mean, I think maybe they have they just don't know
everything right.
I mean they could have no Ithink that it would be public
news.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
No, I don't think there's a way for them, so yes,
because of how much journalisticintegrity all of the media has
and how thorough a job trumpwould have been screaming it on
fraud, social from the top.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
That's the thing trump would let us know he would
confess no.
So one of the things they fraudsocial from the top of his
lungs, that's the thing Trumpwould let us know he would
confess no.
So one of the things theyagreed to over the course of,
you know, the back and forthbetween the FBI and Trump's
legal team was that the legalteam would search Trump's other
properties.
Now they signed an affidavitsaying they searched all his
other properties and didn't findanything.
(25:30):
Of course we know.
You know Trump's lawyers arenot to be trusted, given that
even a couple of them have beencrime fraud accepted.
But I'm assuming if there hadactually been a search we would
know, because it would be atleast somewhat publicly visible
and I'm sure many allies in NewYork, or rather New Jersey,
would have picked up on thatimmediately.
(25:51):
Just, you know again, who knowswhat Putin holds over Trump?
Because after this story cameout, the Kremlin, a Kremlin
spokesperson, confirmed it to betrue, even though Trump's
campaign is denying it.
And I wish, like the mediawould like, that I thought was
funny as hell.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I mean, it was funny like Putin just be playing in
Trump's face.
Trump's like that's a lie.
It's a Kremlin's like yep andthat's what I'm saying, right
like.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
So, now that we know this story to be true and the
Kremlin is confirming it, eventhough Trump is lying, like how
what other information couldthey possibly have on Trump that
they could use to burn him withif they really wanted to?
But speaking of well, you knowBiden previously talking about
the hurricane in that previousvideo.
(26:46):
You know everyone in Florida.
I hope you're doing well.
Hope everything goes well.
I know this hurricane isterrifying from the perspective
of the amount of damage it couldpossibly cause, the amount of
lives it could possibly take.
If you were able to get out ofFlorida or, you know, escape to
(27:07):
higher ground or move inlandLike I, just you know, kudos to
you for everyone who wasn't ableto do that.
I'm rooting for you.
But we do have Trump commentinghere on, well, just the
strength of this hurricane.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
You don't even know what's coming at us.
All we know is it's possiblythe biggest.
I have not sure.
I'm not sure that I've evereven heard of a category five.
I knew it existed and I've seensome Category 4s.
You don't even see them thatmuch.
But a Category 5 is somethingthat I don't know, that I've
ever even heard the term otherthan I know it's there, that's
(27:42):
the ultimate and that's what wehave, unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
That man was president for four years and he
doesn't know what a categoryfive hurricane is and he lives
in.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Florida.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
That's a good point.
He has a home in Florida andhe's never heard of a category
five hurricane.
It seems impossible, seemsimpossible.
I mean, even if you don't knowthe specifics of a category five
, you know well, you knowthere's tropical storms and then
at a certain wind velocity,they get upgraded to hurricanes
and there's there's categoriesof from one to five.
(28:22):
Five is extraordinarily strong,one is in.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
You know if you draw a category six with a sharpie
you may have.
So don't worry, it's not a sixyet well.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
So if you're wondering, in terms of like the
media's expectations of ourpresidential candidates, as
you've seen over the course ofthe past couple of months, the
standard for biden, and thenharris is extraordinarily high,
and then Harris isextraordinarily high, and then
Trump is on TV saying he's neverheard of a Category 5 hurricane
, and it's just absolutecrickets in that regard.
(28:57):
And Trump's also got well.
Previously, when he was inoffice, made a comment about a
hurricane that occurred duringthe course of his administration
.
That is also quite enlighteningin terms of understanding his
specific level of knowledge whenit comes to hurricanes.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Che great job in helping with Florence.
This is a tough hurricane, oneof the wettest we've ever seen
from the standpoint of water.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
I can't, I just can't , I can't with him.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
But from the perspective of wind it was very
windy.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
And from the perspective of rocks.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
It was a beautiful day, one of the most windy
hurricanes.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
From the perspective of rocks, it was a beautiful day
what are the most windy hairkids from the perspective of
wind?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
yeah, I mean considering that he keeps
bringing up that you can't watchtv if the wind isn't blowing
yeah, he's like I'm just waitingon him to say well, they can
watch my rallies, you know,because that's how fucking
obtuse he is and the the lack ofself-awareness around him
(30:19):
because he's a windbag I mean,he was absolutely bananas in
turn so like that windmillcomment he made.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
We're like if the wind's not blowing, I guess we
can't watch tv.
We don't have electricity.
Just extraordinarily ignorant.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Just utter stupidity and what's going on with his
mouth?
Is he not able to open it allthe way anymore?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I have no idea he talks like this he does a lot of
slurring as well.
I don't know if it's like hisdentures or he's on drugs or
it's just cognitive decline Ihave no idea but but like, yeah,
his confusion about how justenergy production works is so,
like with solar, he's like well,it was cloudy today.
I guess we don't haveelectricity.
Hey, these aren't independentfrom our current systems of
(31:04):
power.
They're not one-to-one.
Well, not in all cases are theyone-to-one replacements.
There's supplemental energyproduction to help well, not in
all cases are they one-to-onereplacements?
There's, you know, supplementalenergy production to help us
stop relying so much on fossilfuels.
But he's too much of a fuckingmoron to even understand, like
the basic gist of that.
But yeah, I just like, again,like the man's intelligence, it
(31:25):
just goes utterly unstated justhow fucking stupid he is, just
just how dumb.
Like, and this is again, thisis the dude that was the
president of the united statesfor four years and he's talking
about hurricanes being thewettest from the standpoint of
water.
I mean, and if you think he'slike, and if you think that's
(31:47):
utterly, if you think there'slike an excuse in that regard,
because it's like, oh, you know,that's utterly, if you think
there's like an excuse in thatregard, because it's like, oh,
you know, maybe he just doesn'thave an area of expertise around
hurricanes or whatnot.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
I mean he's been dumb .
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I have another example right here.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
To be able to have a mind where you can actually
speak without a teleprompter.
And isn't it nice to have apresident that can speak without
a teleprompter.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
The teleprompter is right there.
It's right there in the video.
It's right next to him.
You can clearly see it in thevideo clip for yourselves.
If you're in the audience atthe rally, you can see the
teleprompters right next to him.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Self-awareness has never been his forte, neither
has honesty.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
That's also why I believe that all those people
are bought and paid for, becausethey clap like when you what
was it like how sitcoms used tobe?
And then there was a studioaudience and then the applause
sign.
I swear to God, god, I feellike that's what is at his
rallies, like when he's sitting,and then you have all the
(32:59):
people with the green teamstersfor trump shirts on and then
they start clapping when hetalks about how he hates paying
overtime and then you interviewthem, like in the media.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
The press interviews them after the rally and they're
not Teamsters.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I knew that shit because he was in Michigan and
the Michigan local council.
When Sean O'Brien declined foryou know the national Teamsters
to endorse a candidate, theyendorsed Harris.
So I already knew that was someBS and I was like oh, why are
their shirts?
Speaker 1 (33:31):
green.
It's always some bullshit, likejust like.
The level of insanity in termsof stupidity is outrageous, but
it's only equaled by the levelof insanity in terms of the lies
that this dude is just willingto like.
Aren't you excited to have apresident who doesn't need a
teleprompter, as he's likereading it off the teleprompter?
(33:54):
off of the telephone, like theteleprompter is telling him.
It's like all right.
Now respond to crowd by sayingI'm not reading a teleprompter,
it's fucking bananas and likethis just infinite also forgets
the part where he's notpresident.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
That's uh, that's a good, that's a good point, carol
.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
I mean he was having a lucid enough moment where he
could read the teleprompter, butnot quite lucid enough to
whatever.
To him lying is a benefit.
It's not a drawback.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Largely.
If you're Trump or you work forthe Trump campaign, admitting
that he lost the 2020 electionis a faux pas.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
No, it's a no-no.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Big no-no, as we saw with the debate between Tim Walz
and what's his weirdo face?
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Well, the correct response when you're asked if
Biden won the election is topanic and break a cold sweat and
change the subject, unlessyou're Kamala.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Harris, I'm thinking about the future.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
I'm thinking about the future.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Unless you're Kamala Harris, in which case the proper
response is to point out inevery facet and manner that
Trump is a loser.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
She missed some.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Yeah, she left out a few things.
She was efficient though.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Yeah, she's so kind and efficient Like you can't
list all the failures.
What's our quip for the podcast today?
Oh, I know what it is, nevermind.
Okay, figured it out.
I forgot for a second.
It'll be a playoff of MarjorieTaylor Greene's Insanity.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I can't wait to never , ever have to hear her name
again.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Or see her face.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Especially see her face, especially see her face
yeah, or her direction.
Marjorie is a fine name, itsounds pretty out of context.
The face you can't, can't doshit with the face.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Don't want to see the rest of her body either.
If I can help it, I'm tired ofher.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I'm tired of that boyfriend of hers.
She's just a whole fucking mess.
Who's her boyfriend?
Her boyfriend brian glenn fromrsb oh yeah, yeah, she's still
fucking that fucking weirdo yeah, yeah, well, you know, I guess
she's.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
You know, at least she's not fucking the entire gym
now that we know of also true,right, I mean, and you know,
typically I'm in favor of womenfucking the entire gym.
Just go bananas with that likepro-sex positivity over here, uh
.
But you know, you can't also bea part of the party that
(01:18):
proclaims family values and be ahoe.
One, two, three, four.
Hey, this is D-Night.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
This is Carol, this is Ty.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You're listening to the Part of the Interaction
podcast where we do control thefucking weather.
Act up and we'll send a fuckinghurricane in your direction.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
We are the day.
Who blows the wind?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah D I like to imagine just like Biden is
sitting there in the Oval Officewith like the laptop open and
he just hits the hurricanebutton and poof when it
magically appears in the.
Gulf.
It's like that's what we'redoing here.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Somebody had posted a picture and it was some
contraption.
It was like oh, biden chainedit to a Calgary 5.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, Biden at the Express machine.
The hurricane on that.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
He's probably sitting here thinking like boy, if you
only knew I wish I had a fuckingweather machine to be done with
you people.
I think Biden is over it.
His last few times thequestions that he's been getting
and he's like man, get the fuckout of here.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You can tell he put his two weeks notice in in.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
He don't give no fucks no more he's like y'all
can't fire me.
I can't wait to be done withthis shit.
Yeah, he's just snapping andeverything.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
because, in in all fairness to biden, like the
media just asks him such stupidfucking questions and if like
the, like the, maybe thequestion itself isn't super dumb
.
Sometimes the context of it isso stupid that you gotta dismiss
these fucking morons, andthat's probably why Kamala
Harris has been on the mostinsane media tour we've ever
(02:54):
seen from a presidentialcandidate here over the course
of the past week.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And you have to give it to Biden too.
He's been around a long time.
He is an old school centristkind of democrat.
He's what worked across theaisle, he's reached across the
aisle.
He's had friends from bothparties.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
So this is just bad shit to him right now he he's
like yeah well, he's, he is, hedoes the pennsylvania thing, but
in essence he is a southerndemocrat, you know, has its own
charm and appeal to it.
But also it's like we know he'snot putting up like they don't
put up with any bullshit.
He has that in spades.
(03:33):
But so, given the failures ofthe media, it's not surprising.
Kamala Harris here over thepast week has been on a historic
media blitz, doing everythingfrom 60 Minutes to the colbert
show and also hitting up everypopular podcast in america from
all the smoke, every popularpodcast, every popular podcast.
(03:56):
Well, you, know that we're notpopular, are you?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
saying we're not popular, or that kamala harris
is going to be on today's show.
Oh my God, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We're going to have Kamala Harris on later.
We'll save that for you.
I didn't want to spoil it, butfrom all the smoke to call her
daddy, even doing the Stern showto much regard, if you saw any
clips of that interview, she'sbeen out here doing it up.
The mainstream media is quiteupset.
They're saying that she's beenout here doing it up.
The mainstream media is quiteupset.
(04:26):
They're saying that she's notdoing enough interviews and not
talking to enough journalists.
Here she is doing everythingpossible to connect with the
voter, and that's what's mostimportant, given that the media
doesn't actually, uh, care abouttelling its viewers the truth
more so she knows, gen z ain'tsitting around watching andrea
fucking mitchell no, they're notyou know like no, that's not a
(04:49):
thing reading the new york thenew york times, for that matter
and the problem with the newyork times and these other media
outlets are obvious if you'vebeen paying attention over the
course of the past four years.
They're in the bag for trump.
I mean, we can just be honestabout that.
They don't.
While Trump is anextraordinarily dangerous threat
to the United States and totheir well-being if he wins,
(05:12):
he's also extraordinarily goodfor clicks, so they do
everything they can to milk himfor all he's worth, while also
doing absolutely nothing toendanger his chances of winning.
So, yeah, that's, that's thefault of the media, and so you
can understand what KamalaHarris is like.
Fuck you guys.
I will go straight to the placesthat that will be me in the
(05:33):
people's heads and, for the mostpart, in 2024, the world we
live in.
That is YouTube, podcast,twitch and such, and she's been
doing a fantastic job.
I think one of the complaintsthe media has been making over
the past well, ever since shebasically took over as the
democratic nominee, is that shedoesn't, you know, talk to the
(05:56):
public enough, that she doesn't.
The people don't know her, andshe doesn't tell anything about
herself and she doesn't talkabout policy.
Well, she's been doing that.
She's been doing a lot of thathere over the course of the past
week.
She uh recently unveiled herplan for the expansion of
medicare to cover like uhawesomeness in home treatment
(06:18):
yeah, a major change that wouldprobably benefit numerous
americans, especially those youknow from the 40, 50, 60 year
old range who are trying to workand take care of their kids and
take care of their parents andhaving to deal with uh, you know
medical issues within thefamily.
I mean, just a fantastic ideaand supported wholeheartedly and
(06:40):
she's awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Sorry, I guess I guess I mean she's thinking
forward.
She thinks about regular peopleand that is a huge thing, and
especially with the boomersgeneration, they're really going
to be needing assistanceworkers.
Things are super expensive.
(07:02):
Medicare advantage is garbagethat you know it's.
It's going to squeeze even morethose in my age range.
You know the 50, you know I'llsay 45 to you know 60 year olds
who still might have a kidthat's in high school or a kid
that's in college or maybe evena younger one if you got started
(07:24):
a little late, you know, withthe kids and then your parents,
and there could be anyunforeseen medical emergency in
your own life period regardingyourself yeah, maybe your
husband.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I'm well aware of that possibility and you know,
in contrast, trump's plan 2025,is basically to wipe out
Medicare.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
So you know, if you just like to know His plan has
always been if you are, ifyou're poor, you can die.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, you're laughing , but that's always been his
plan.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I'll tell you in two weeks.
Their plan is obviously if he'slike afford medical care you
deserve to die.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I mean, he did say that about his own great nephew.
You're not wrong.
Why are you taking care of thiskid?
You know I'm not, I'm not evenbeing hyperbolic.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I used to think that I was when I said shit like that
, but that's really.
That's clearly the plan.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
They don't think that people who can't afford you
know um capitalistic health caredeserve to live um, ty, and
ty's absolutely right about thathe basically told his I mean
basically said that his greatnephew could just die.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
He acted like it more callously to his nephew than
most people would treat theirdog.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
When people say things they're like oh well,
trump is, he's already said he'snot a part of 2025.
He also said that planes wouldfall out of the sky if the sun
wasn't shining.
Ok, so we're going to take that.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I mean, the other day he literally said one of the
first things he's going to dowhen he's elected president is
hire the guy Holland, I believe,is his name.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Oh, Tom Holman.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Holman yeah, and he's the architect of Project 2025.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, I don't know what I meant anyway, and he's
like that's, the first thing I'mgonna do is bring him back on.
And then I don't know whattheir thing is with stephen
miller right now and trying toturn him into some bachelor
candidate.
But that's just gross, that'syeah, I can't which oh, you
didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You didn't hear what jesse waters said about him uh,
it was a weird creepy videowhere they tried to make him
seem like some kind of boss,alpha man, and if you look at
Stephen.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
He's so gross, he's so gross.
He looks like some sort ofgremlin.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yes, the only women on the planet who are inclined
to have sex with him.
He would pay for Speaking ofKamala Harris and having her on
the show, which we actually donot.
Oh no, really Hate todisappoint you, but we do have a
clip of her on Stephen.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
Colbert, I want to ask you a question that Speaker
Johnson recently called a gotchaquestion.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
And it's a question that a lot of Republicans are
avoiding.
Did Donald Trump lose the 2020election?
Did Donald Trump lose the 2020election?
I know it's a hard question.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
You know I'm going to tell you what some of the
people in my rallies, quite afew people, are showing up by
the way.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
That's a damning non-answer.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
You know when you've lost.
You lost millions of jobs, youlost manufacturing, you lost
automotive plants, you lost theelection.
What does that make you A loser?
This is what somebody at myrally said.
I thought it was funny.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
It's accurate.
It's accurate.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
This is what happens when I drink beer.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
No, yeah, I mean it's been a lot of that Incredibly
funny, charming, witty, smart,thoughtful, and she's lame Seems
approachable, like you can havea beer with him.
Yeah, well, that came up.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I definitely have a beer with her man, but yeah if
you miss, I need a beer, but Idefinitely just yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I mean, I'm a fan of beer in terms of it's like the
alcoholic beverage I can drinkthe least of.
So if I'm trying not to getintoxicated and just want to
have like one drink, I'll crackopen here's it yeah, that's,
that's what I get that, I'm just.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I'm the same when it comes to beer.
I'm david's the exact opposite.
But yeah, if I'm like, I justwant to chill, yeah, and not go
off the rail I have one beer andthen that's probably because I
don't want to drink two, umanyway.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So yeah, largely her interviews have been consistent
with with that demeanor.
I mean, she's just winning overthe public with the, with the
charm but the genuineness, andtelling her story and talking
about her family and herexperiences.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I know you already mentioned how she got herself
onto all these shows, but, man,she is so resourceful and, like
I'm excited to have someone socapable as president.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And it's also nice to have like a vice president
currently who's not a fuckingweirdo like the vice
presidential candidate from theother party, but also, I would
say, just like the plan of.
It's like a month before theelection and she's doing all of
these high profile interviews,60 Minutes, and all the podcasts
(12:34):
and such, and Donald Trump'sbasically back to doing his same
old shtick at these rallies,talking about exploding cars.
I mean, it's just.
It's quite the incrediblecontrast.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
But he can't keep talking about exploding cars
once he has Elon Musk at therally.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Well you say that That'll be awkward you say that
he actually did that oh my.
God, he did say that.
That'll be awkward.
You say that he actually didthat.
Oh my God.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
He did say that he should ask him to stop talking
about EVs.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, and that was like right after talking about
hydrogen cars exploding.
But we also have a clip ofKamala Harris here being asked
about potentially meeting withVladimir Putin.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
What does success look like in ending the war in
Ukraine?
Speaker 6 (13:21):
There will be no success in ending that war
without Ukraine and the UNCharter participating in what
that success looks like.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Would you meet with President Vladimir Putin to
negotiate a solution to the warin Ukraine?
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Not bilaterally without Ukraine.
No, Ukraine must have a say inthe future of Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
As president, would you support the effort to expand
NATO to include Ukraine?
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Those are all issues that we will deal with if and
when it arrives.
At that point.
Right now, we are supportingUkraine's ability to defend
itself against Russia'sunprovoked aggression.
Donald Trump, if he werepresident Putin, would be
sitting in Kiev right now.
He talks about oh, he can endit on day one.
You know what that is?
(14:11):
It's about surrender.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yeah, very.
Goddamn, goddamn right insideof a comment from kamala harris
there, and that's an importantcontrast to how trump attempted
eating the dogs, oh no uh.
That's an important contrast tohow trump attempted to end the
war in afghanistan bynegotiating directly with the
tal, leaving out the Afghangovernment in its entirety and
(14:41):
negotiating a deal that involvedthe release of the 5,000
Taliban soldiers that ended upbeing partially including their
leader, which ended up beingpartially responsible for the
mess that was created by thelargest military withdrawal
we've ever seen in history.
And then kudos to Biden formanaging it.
(15:02):
Managing to pull that off withhis little chaos is what
happened, but I mean part of thereason the government fell is
Trump negotiated the surrenderof Afghanistan bilaterally.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I don't really understand how people don't get
you negotiated with terrorists.
So those terrorists decidingnot to hold to the agreement and
run in and attack.
Well, that's kind of whatterrorists do, yeah, you know,
not really known for keepingtheir word.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
And again, why would you negotiate with the Taliban
when the Afghan government wasrunning Afghanistan, unless the
whole point was to ensure thefall of Afghanistan and return
it A?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
poison pill for Biden .
Yeah, a poison pill.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
And that's also important for other reasons,
largely because, well, weunderstand what Trump's
relationship to Putin is to somedegree, and it's one of utter
fealty to Vladimir Putin.
And here we have PresidentBiden being asked about an
incident that occurred duringthe Trump administration in
regards to Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
May God bless you all , and may God protect those
serving in the eye of this storm.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
On behalf of our nation, thank you nation.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Why do you think Trump is spreading
misinformation?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Why do you think President Trump has sent?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
misinformation to.
President Putin during theheight of the pandemic.
Do you have a comment, sir?
Why do you think Trump isspreading misinformation?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah.
So if you didn't hear thatclearly, biden was asked why,
when Trump was president, was hesending extraordinarily
valuable COVID testing machinesto Vladimir Putin at the height
of the pandemic, when Americaneeded it most?
And he said it wasextraordinarily un-American.
That's an understatement.
(16:54):
He said it was extraordinarilyun-American.
That's an understatement.
So if you missed it, fyi, bobWoodward, famously from
(17:17):
reporting on Watergate, he'swritten a new book entitled War,
wherein some of some of that isdetailed that there was an
incident late in 2020, with thepandemic at its peak, trump
decided to send extraordinarilyvaluable and limited COVID
testing machines to VladimirPutin for his personal use.
And I know a lot of youthinking like, oh, it's like the
little strips where you takethe little personal tests.
Now, these are like themachines that can do the
repeated tests and they havelike this rapid response.
I think it's in somewhere inlike five minutes.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Like a PCR machine.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, kind of, and it was extraordinarily valuable
and in limited supply at thetime.
In all likelihood, there areprobably some patients that died
because we had a lack of thesemachines and Trump made a point
to personally send VladimirPutin numerous instances of
these items, and also it's beenthat Putin could screen his own
(18:02):
visitors in all likelihood, it'salso during the pandemic that
Trump knew was not fake, allright.
Which which.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Bob Woodward revealed in his previous book way after
the situation Fuck, bob Woodward.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Go on.
We'll get to all of that injust one second.
So, also in the book, woodwardreported that Trump also had a
private conversation with Putin,which Putin told Trump not to
tell anyone that Trump wassending those machines because
everyone would be mad at Trumpand not Putin, meaning that
(18:41):
Putin totally understood thepredicament that Trump would be
in for sending such aid of thatkind at that time to Russia.
So, yeah, I guess for starters,we can like I'm embarrassed by
the work Bob Woodward's beendoing over the course of the
(19:02):
well, the Trump era, just likeyou're doing all of this
investigative journalism, butyou're sitting on all of the
most valuable stories until youhave your book ready to go, as
opposed to sharing this valuableinformation to inform the
voters, which is, people weredying yeah you know like it's
unforgivable.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
It's egregious.
That behavior is un-american,it's complicit, 100 percent and
lacks the journalistic integritythat we thought he had because
of watergate.
But he's just been living offthose fumes for 50 years.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah, I mean and look , you know I get it, bro, like
you want to do some cloudchasing.
But obviously if I have someinformation that's
extraordinarily valuable interms of determining whether or
not, like a wannabe dictator,will get to win an election in
America, I'm probably going totry and do the right thing and
get that information out thereas soon as possible, not save it
(20:02):
for the fucking book sales.
I mean, it's just like shame onBob Woodward.
I know he's a super highlyrespected journalist in media
circles but like I'm a normalfucking guy just out here trying
to say like not only do whatlittle I can to save my
democracy but also not end up ina fucking concentration camp.
So in that regard, fuck BobWoodward, jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
But in terms, of damn journalist like he should.
But you know, then again, he isa white man and there's a
certain arrogance that comeswith that also he's old right, I
mean how many he doesn't haveto if he doesn't have to
Speaker 1 (20:39):
so reap what he's sown uh well, if anything, in
terms of his age, he grew up ina time where there were more
strict journalistic guidelines,so he would for sure be aware of
just the inappropriate natureof sitting on stores, and this
is not the first time he's doneit.
Like you said, this is apattern of behavior like Bob
(21:00):
Woodward.
In my opinion, at this point,it's kind of a piece of shit.
But also, as you were saying,look just more clear evidence.
Not only did Bob Woodwardearlier reported that Trump knew
that COVID was extraordinarilyserious, but like the fact that
if, like you know all of thosetimes, trump implied that COVID
(21:21):
was a hoax, why is he's in thefucking test of Vladimir Putin,
of all fucking people, likeJesus Christ?
And just not only that.
Like you said, ty, it's abetrayal of Americans, like we
needed those machines as much asanyone.
He's supposed to be responsiblefor American lives.
Just no concern for the outcomeof, you know, covid infections
(21:44):
in America, given that he dideverything he could in 2020 to
make sure that the infectionspread as far and wide as
possible, holding rallies.
I mean, even Herman Cain restin pieces, died out there on the
Trump campaign trail after asuper spreader event at a Trump
rally.
So yeah, I mean justextraordinarily embarrassing
(22:10):
behavior by both Trump andWoodward in this regard.
Obviously, trump's is moreegregious, but also the fact
that, like Putin, was well awareof the political the bar is
just so low for him that peoplethat's true, yeah.
Like if we could just hold Trumpto the same standard that we
hold just even anybody else likeliterally anyone else, like
(22:34):
this election would already beover.
But Putin being quite aware ofthe political implications of
trump doing this and telling him, hey, you got to keep this on
the low.
Uh, that implies that putin iswell aware also that he could
use this information toblackmail trump.
And you just gotta wonder, like, over the course of the past,
(22:54):
what year are we, in eight pasteight years of this trump
disaster, what shit right ortrump's done for putin in secret
that putin can hold over him?
Because I mean this, you know,despite the meat lack of media
coverage over it, it's a prettyhuge fucking deal.
And also, I guess, if you justthink about like, like, we have
(23:20):
no idea what kind ofconversations Trump's been
having with Putin.
But you know, wood reported inhis book that there could have
been somewhere up to sevenprivate calls between Trump and
Putin since he left office.
And I mean, jesus Christ, trumpwas sitting down there in
Mar-a-Lago with boxes and boxesof stolen, fucking classified
(23:41):
documents.
Who knows what kind of shit heshared with Putin.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
It's true, that is true.
And then what Putin shared withIran, that is like one of his
largest allies is Iran.
So I don't, I don't know, likewhere that's going, because
Trump wanted to bomb Iran beforehe left office, wanted to bomb
(24:10):
Iran before he left office, hewanted to.
I don't know, it's just all.
It's so much.
And I still want to know whatthe hell that Russian plane was
doing, sitting on the tarmac acouple of months ago next to
Trump's plane for two days, noidea.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
And the United Arab Emirate plane that they were all
in the same plane, all in a rowjust hanging out.
Yet look, just chilling.
I mean, you know, theoreticallywe don't know if the FBI
recovered all the stolendocuments in the rate of
Mar-a-Lago, so anything'spossible, I don't know.
I'm assuming the FBI waskeeping an eye on that, but you
never fucking know.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
They've never gone to badminster and searched
badminster though.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I mean, I think maybe they have they just don't know
everything right.
I mean they could have no Ithink that it would be public
news.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
No, I don't think there's a way for them, so yes,
because of how much journalisticintegrity all of the media has
and how thorough a job trumpwould have been screaming it on
fraud, social from the top.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
That's the thing trump would let us know he would
confess no.
So one of the things they fraudsocial from the top of his
lungs, that's the thing Trumpwould let us know he would
confess no.
So one of the things theyagreed to over the course of,
you know, the back and forthbetween the FBI and Trump's
legal team was that the legalteam would search Trump's other
properties.
Now they signed an affidavitsaying they searched all his
other properties and didn't findanything.
(25:30):
Of course we know.
You know Trump's lawyers arenot to be trusted, given that
even a couple of them have beencrime fraud accepted.
But I'm assuming if there hadactually been a search we would
know, because it would be atleast somewhat publicly visible
and I'm sure many allies in NewYork, or rather New Jersey,
would have picked up on thatimmediately.
(25:51):
Just, you know again, who knowswhat Putin holds over Trump?
Because after this story cameout, the Kremlin, a Kremlin
spokesperson, confirmed it to betrue, even though Trump's
campaign is denying it.
And I wish, like the mediawould like, that I thought was
funny as hell.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I mean, it was funny like Putin just be playing in
Trump's face.
Trump's like that's a lie.
It's a Kremlin's like yep andthat's what I'm saying, right
like.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
So, now that we know this story to be true and the
Kremlin is confirming it, eventhough Trump is lying, like how
what other information couldthey possibly have on Trump that
they could use to burn him withif they really wanted to?
But speaking of well, you knowBiden previously talking about
the hurricane in that previousvideo.
(26:46):
You know everyone in Florida.
I hope you're doing well.
Hope everything goes well.
I know this hurricane isterrifying from the perspective
of the amount of damage it couldpossibly cause, the amount of
lives it could possibly take.
If you were able to get out ofFlorida or, you know, escape to
(27:07):
higher ground or move inlandLike I, just you know, kudos to
you for everyone who wasn't ableto do that.
I'm rooting for you.
But we do have Trump commentinghere on, well, just the
strength of this hurricane.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
You don't even know what's coming at us.
All we know is it's possiblythe biggest.
I have not sure.
I'm not sure that I've evereven heard of a category five.
I knew it existed and I've seensome Category 4s.
You don't even see them thatmuch.
But a Category 5 is somethingthat I don't know, that I've
ever even heard the term otherthan I know it's there, that's
(27:42):
the ultimate and that's what wehave, unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
That man was president for four years and he
doesn't know what a categoryfive hurricane is and he lives
in.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Florida.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
That's a good point.
He has a home in Florida andhe's never heard of a category
five hurricane.
It seems impossible, seemsimpossible.
I mean, even if you don't knowthe specifics of a category five
, you know well, you knowthere's tropical storms and then
at a certain wind velocity,they get upgraded to hurricanes
and there's there's categoriesof from one to five.
(28:22):
Five is extraordinarily strong,one is in.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
You know if you draw a category six with a sharpie
you may have.
So don't worry, it's not a sixyet well.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
So if you're wondering, in terms of like the
media's expectations of ourpresidential candidates, as
you've seen over the course ofthe past couple of months, the
standard for biden, and thenharris is extraordinarily high,
and then Harris isextraordinarily high, and then
Trump is on TV saying he's neverheard of a Category 5 hurricane
, and it's just absolutecrickets in that regard.
(28:57):
And Trump's also got well.
Previously, when he was inoffice, made a comment about a
hurricane that occurred duringthe course of his administration
.
That is also quite enlighteningin terms of understanding his
specific level of knowledge whenit comes to hurricanes.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Che great job in helping with Florence.
This is a tough hurricane, oneof the wettest we've ever seen
from the standpoint of water.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
I can't, I just can't , I can't with him.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
But from the perspective of wind it was very
windy.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
And from the perspective of rocks.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
It was a beautiful day, one of the most windy
hurricanes.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
From the perspective of rocks, it was a beautiful day
what are the most windy hairkids from the perspective of
wind?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
yeah, I mean considering that he keeps
bringing up that you can't watchtv if the wind isn't blowing
yeah, he's like I'm just waitingon him to say well, they can
watch my rallies, you know,because that's how fucking
obtuse he is and the the lack ofself-awareness around him
(30:19):
because he's a windbag I mean,he was absolutely bananas in
turn so like that windmillcomment he made.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
We're like if the wind's not blowing, I guess we
can't watch tv.
We don't have electricity.
Just extraordinarily ignorant.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Just utter stupidity and what's going on with his
mouth?
Is he not able to open it allthe way anymore?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I have no idea he talks like this he does a lot of
slurring as well.
I don't know if it's like hisdentures or he's on drugs or
it's just cognitive decline Ihave no idea but but like, yeah,
his confusion about how justenergy production works is so,
like with solar, he's like well,it was cloudy today.
I guess we don't haveelectricity.
Hey, these aren't independentfrom our current systems of
(31:04):
power.
They're not one-to-one.
Well, not in all cases are theyone-to-one replacements.
There's supplemental energyproduction to help well, not in
all cases are they one-to-onereplacements?
There's, you know, supplementalenergy production to help us
stop relying so much on fossilfuels.
But he's too much of a fuckingmoron to even understand, like
the basic gist of that.
But yeah, I just like, again,like the man's intelligence, it
(31:25):
just goes utterly unstated justhow fucking stupid he is, just
just how dumb.
Like, and this is again, thisis the dude that was the
president of the united statesfor four years and he's talking
about hurricanes being thewettest from the standpoint of
water.
I mean, and if you think he'slike, and if you think that's
(31:47):
utterly, if you think there'slike an excuse in that regard,
because it's like, oh, you know,that's utterly, if you think
there's like an excuse in thatregard, because it's like, oh,
you know, maybe he just doesn'thave an area of expertise around
hurricanes or whatnot.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
I mean he's been dumb .
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I have another example right here.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
To be able to have a mind where you can actually
speak without a teleprompter.
And isn't it nice to have apresident that can speak without
a teleprompter.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
The teleprompter is right there.
It's right there in the video.
It's right next to him.
You can clearly see it in thevideo clip for yourselves.
If you're in the audience atthe rally, you can see the
teleprompters right next to him.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Self-awareness has never been his forte, neither
has honesty.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
That's also why I believe that all those people
are bought and paid for, becausethey clap like when you what
was it like how sitcoms used tobe?
And then there was a studioaudience and then the applause
sign.
I swear to God, god, I feellike that's what is at his
rallies, like when he's sitting,and then you have all the
(32:59):
people with the green teamstersfor trump shirts on and then
they start clapping when hetalks about how he hates paying
overtime and then you interviewthem, like in the media.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
The press interviews them after the rally and they're
not Teamsters.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I knew that shit because he was in Michigan and
the Michigan local council.
When Sean O'Brien declined foryou know the national Teamsters
to endorse a candidate, theyendorsed Harris.
So I already knew that was someBS and I was like oh, why are
their shirts?
Speaker 1 (33:31):
green.
It's always some bullshit, likejust like.
The level of insanity in termsof stupidity is outrageous, but
it's only equaled by the levelof insanity in terms of the lies
that this dude is just willingto like.
Aren't you excited to have apresident who doesn't need a
teleprompter, as he's likereading it off the teleprompter?
(33:54):
off of the telephone, like theteleprompter is telling him.
It's like all right.
Now respond to crowd by sayingI'm not reading a teleprompter,
it's fucking bananas and likethis just infinite also forgets
the part where he's notpresident.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
That's uh, that's a good, that's a good point, carol
.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
I mean he was having a lucid enough moment where he
could read the teleprompter, butnot quite lucid enough to
whatever.
To him lying is a benefit.
It's not a drawback.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Largely.
If you're Trump or you work forthe Trump campaign, admitting
that he lost the 2020 electionis a faux pas.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
No, it's a no-no.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Big no-no, as we saw with the debate between Tim Walz
and what's his weirdo face?
Speaker 3 (34:42):
Well, the correct response when you're asked if
Biden won the election is topanic and break a cold sweat and
change the subject, unlessyou're Kamala.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Harris, I'm thinking about the future.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
I'm thinking about the future.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Unless you're Kamala Harris, in which case the proper
response is to point out inevery facet and manner that
Trump is a loser.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
She missed some.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Yeah, she left out a few things.
She was efficient though.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Yeah, she's so kind and efficient Like you can't
list all the failures.
