Ever wondered what the world would look like without the Republican Party? We kick off our latest episode with a humorous exploration of this unlikely scenario, paired with a light-hearted chat about the dual purposes of vape pens. We also take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to you, our amazing audience, for the birthday wishes and unwavering support throughout the year. From there, we shift gears to the upcoming election madness, spotlighting Kamala Harris's campaign and its creative flair in using music to rally voters. We celebrate Kendrick Lamar's enduring legacy, focusing on his iconic tracks that continue to resonate with audiences across generations.

The episode takes a serious turn as we tackle the tangled intersection of racism and politics in America. Scott Pressler's controversial voter registration activities serve as a backdrop to our discussion on the nuances of comedy and the fine line between humor and offense. We dissect the fallout from a comedian's racist remarks and Rudy Giuliani's inflammatory commentary, underscoring the necessity of genuine humor amidst a landscape often marred by harmful rhetoric. It's a raw conversation that examines how racism persists in both comedy and politics, particularly in the crucial battleground of swing states.

We wrap things up by casting a critical eye on election strategies and political maneuvering. From the complexities of sexual orientation and personal freedoms to the curious case of Steve Bannon's release from prison, we offer a blend of humor and serious political commentary. The unsettling possibility of election manipulation by key political figures like Mike Johnson is explored, raising important questions about the integrity of American democracy. Our conversation culminates with a reflection on Merrick Garland's political strategy post-2020 election, highlighting the ongoing challenges in holding key figures accountable. Join us for this multi-layered discussion that promises both laughter and insights.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Yeah, I mean, that's always an edge.
Existing is likely an advantageover something that doesn't
exist.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Wow, this is an insightful episode already.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well, fingers crossed , if we play our cards right, in
a week the Republican Partywill no longer exist.
I mean, I know that'sextraordinarily hopeful and
unlikely, but it's a possibility.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
I got my two vape pens just tied together.
What is that?
Hold on, let me see.
I just put both of my vape pens.
I've just tied them together tohave my indica and sativa
together, also because it'sharder to lose this way.
It's not as small.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
All right, I'm good to go now.
What were you saying about yourvape pen and your incredible
sex?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Those were separate people.
That was her.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
No, I know that was for each of you, one for.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
And I got a great.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
I tied them together together today.

Speaker 5 (01:03):
Good for you.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Okay, so you got a double vape going on there.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Is that what that is.
I just have them tied togetherso they don't get lost.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Oh, I thought you were smoking both of them at the
same time.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
No that would be cool if you did that, Carol.
That would be.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
All right, I've done it.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
So don't feel too left out.
Ty, carol also got someincredible sucking going on
there.
One, two, three, four.
Hey, this is D-Night, this isCarol, this is Ty, and you're
listening to the Pardon theInsurrection podcast, where we
all understand that PuertoRicans are Americans, unlike
some people in the RepublicanParty, as per the usual, usual,

(01:44):
just utter week of insanity.
I mean, I sit here and I thinkabout last week and I'm like, oh
, yeah, that's right.
A woman accused donald trump ofsexually assaulting her after
she was brought to trump trumptower by jeffrey epstein.
Incredible um, that made noheadlines.

(02:04):
That was insane.
And every single week is likethat.
There's always some utterinsanity that occurs that just
the media just refuses to cover.
I don't know why it's like that, but that is well, actually
we'll probably get to why thatit's like that.
Yeah, we'll get to that um.
But first of all, I just wantedto say thank you to everyone
who wished me a happy birthdayand sent all their love and

(02:26):
support last week and over thecourse of the weekend.
I appreciate you guys.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
You're 10 years from ARP.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
A-double-up, double-a-r-p, whatever it's
called.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
No, they've been sending me stuff for.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
Forever, I'm officially a member now.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
That's funny.
They've sent me stuff before,but it's usually, I think, it's
like car insurance or somethinganyway.
So, yeah, appreciate you guys.
Like I wouldn't be doing thiswithout you listening and or
following me on the internet.
All that good stuff, appreciateeverything, all the support,
all the kind words, all thethoughts, all the comments all

(03:07):
year long, not just on specialoccasions.
You guys made me feelappreciated all the time and I
appreciate you guys back.
And of course, we're a weekaway from the election, so all
hell breaking is breaking loosegenerally speaking, loose
generally speaking.
And you know, despite whateveryour particular flavor of

(03:27):
presidential candidate is, Iassume, if you're listening to
this podcast, you're likelyvoting for Kamala Harris, as am
I, or as have I already Earlyvoting, unless you just love to
get off to hating our voices, inwhich case hey, I'm entirely
sure there's a couple of peopleout there hate listening to this
podcast and kudos to you.

(03:49):
Every download counts.
But even in a week of insanity,it was kind of awesome to see
this from the Kamala Harriscampaign freedom, freedom I
can't move freedom.

Speaker 6 (04:08):
I need freedom too.
I break chains about myself.
I'ma keep running.
Cause the winner.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
Don't quit on themselves yeah I love that song
taking over the vegas spherewas dope.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
That was incredible.
And yet a song is kudos, so youknow I'm not the is that the
music was added to the video.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Right, they don't like?
Blast las vegas with super loudmusic all the time no, that.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
The harris campaign put out a video and they they
dubbed the music.
So before everyone like triesto lynch me over my Beyonce take
, I'm not the biggest Beyoncefan.
It's not that I dislike Beyonce.
Her music is pretty good.
I'm not necessarily fan of hervoice per se.
I mean I feel like LatoyaLuckett was probably the best

(05:01):
singer in the group and she gotkicked out of the group.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
That's fair.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, that's fair.
So, like in terms of like,vocal quality, it's probably not
even my favorite in Destiny'sChild, but she does make dope
music and she's had anextraordinary career.
I mean, she is talented, shecan sing, she can dance, she can
do everything, so kudos to her.

Speaker 5 (05:21):
She's Sasha Fierce, come on.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, it's just funny .
You bring up that song becauseit's funny.
It's Kendrick Lamar's year andhe is probably going to live on
forever in two ways Because thetwo songs that we're going to
hear for the rest of eternityyes, the two songs we're going
to hear for the rest of eternityhave Kendrick Lamar on them.
It's one, that Beyonce songFreedom, we're going to hear for
the rest of eternity haveKendrick Lamar on them.
It's one Beyonce song, freedom.
We're going to hear that for100 years.
And we're also going to hearthey Not Like Us.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
They Not Like that is going to go down in the history
books.
I have heard that song playedso many different times and so
many different venues.
Man, come on, that's a banger.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
It is.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
He ate.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
That he did, and as much of a fan as I am of, maybe
not Drake the person, but Drakethe musician, the artist, at
least some of his music.
It's just quite hilarious thathe, one of the songs that will
go down in American history, iscalling him a pedophile.
It's just utterly ironic.
I I mean just anyway, speakingto pedophiles, uh, donald trump

(06:33):
held I'm sorry, donald trumpheld a rally over the weekend at
madison square garden in newyork, which is just an insane
sentence a week before election.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, it's Vanity Fest in a state he can't win.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, and it went off the rails before it even really
got started, as a right-wingcomedian just totally destroyed
himself on the stage and likelyended the possibility.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
And the Trump campaign pretty much.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, he also destroyed the Trump campaign in
the process, making someextraordinarily distasteful
comments that pissed off what Iwould imagine to be a lot of
voters a week before theelection.

Speaker 7 (07:19):
A lot going on, like I don't know if you guys know
this, but there's literally afloating island of garbage in
the middle of the ocean rightnow.
Yeah, I think it's calledpuerto rico.
Oh, okay, all right, okay,we're good.
Um, yeah, did he get booed?

Speaker 2 (07:36):
uh, you know, so he, he didn't get laughs.
Really, if you heard, it stayedpretty quiet.
I I think it was a lot ofgroans.
So that was an extraordinarilydetrimental comment from that
guy.
The Trump campaign didn'treally distance themselves from
the remarks.
None of the speakers whoproceeded thereafter came out

(07:59):
and addressed the comments.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
It seems like their approaches, the campaign's
approaches, to say like it wasfunny, it's a joke.
Normal people I read, I readnormal people think this is
funny.
Oh, that was matt walsh, thatwas the bad matt walsh, sorry,
yeah, yeah, my fan.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Um.
So obviously this comment, asterrible as it is, it is
surprising that it's madeshockwaves throughout the media
landscape and apparently it'strickled its way down to Latino
and specifically just brownvoters in general, but
specifically Puerto Ricansliving in America, as a number

(08:39):
of them live in swing states andI believe in all of the swing
states you could even throwFlorida into this more Puerto
Ricans live in each of thosestates than the margin for
victory in 2020.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
Yeah, I think it was like 1.1 million live in New
York alone yeah, also justcoming to their home turf in
Pennsylvania yeah, outside ofPuerto Rico to that group yeah,
it's crazy where does?

Speaker 1 (09:10):
does Puerto Rico get like one electoral vote?
Yeah, but um more importantlythan that they're the ones in
the swing states are gonna makea bigger impact.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, so Pennsylvania in particular has nearly half a
million Puerto Rican PuertoRicans living there, and that's
extraordinarily detrimental toTrump's chances of winning in in
a week especially since a lotof those that Amish vote was
made up.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Yeah, that they found one hundred and eighty thousand
Amish in Lancaster County whenthere's only twenty two000 Amish
and 92,000 in the entire state.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, there's less than 100,000 Amish people in the
state and they said they foundonly 200,000.
You know, scott Pressler thisguy, who?

Speaker 1 (09:56):
who goes around?
I thought he was just a, reallyhis screen name is apt, it's
the persistence.
And he, he just goes aroundregistering people to vote.
And I was like, damn, I can'tfault the guy.
I hate him but I can't faulthim.
And now, because he's justregistering people to vote.
But apparently there were aboutwhat 1500 to 2500 applications

(10:18):
that were suspicious, withsuspicious names, dates, things
that didn't match up, and I sawthat my husband's like who's the
guy you were talking, thatannoying guy you were talking
about?
Like Scott Pressler.
He's like, oh, that's, he's inthe news.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Like oh, yeah, scott Pressler is registering voters
that don't exist and is likelygoing to prison.
But so back to this Puerto Ricothing.
Took fire in the community,probably going to cost Trump a
couple of swing States, I wouldimagine.
Like I know people are like oh,you know the polls.
I mean the polls have beenpretty much saying the same

(10:52):
thing over the course of thepast month and a half.
The elections close.
Going into election day, kamalaHarris has the advantage, but
it's not going to be anoverwhelming massive victory in
swing states.
But yeah, kudos to that guy andlike well, first of all, he

(11:12):
didn't just address PuertoRicans, he also just said just
insanely insensitive shit ingeneral.

Speaker 7 (11:21):
I welcome migrants to the United States of America
with open arms.
And by open arms.
I mean like this it's wild.
And these Latinos, they lovemaking babies too.
Just know that.
They do, they do.

(11:41):
There's no pulling out.
They don't do that.
They come, come inside, justlike they did to our country.
Republicans of the party with agood sense of humor um just
incredible I love the way thatjoke ended yeah, just yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
I know right, incredibly insensitive comments
and I get that he's like a shockjock type comedian.
You know he says he's like aroast guy and he was doing the
stand up and Pinggang theAsian-American comedian had
opened for him.

Speaker 5 (12:31):
And then Hinchcliffe comes on the stage and just
starts going on an anti-Asianrant, calling Pinggang a chink
and then making a Fake Asianaccent.
I guess what he thought was anAsian Accent and his mind it was
vile.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Also at the rally.
He talked about a guy in theaudience, said he was.
I forgot what he said.
He looked like he was wearing.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
A helmet.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
He said it looked like he was wearing a lab shade,
yeah, and then he proceeded tocomment on how he hung out with
him the previous evening andthey carved watermelons together
.
Now I do find it super ironicin some ways that the thing that
lit the country on fire and ittook off in the media was just
the comments about puerto ricans.

(13:25):
I mean, obviously it wasoffensive but, like all the
other racism, just pretty muchwent under the radar.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
No, no one really cared and he covered the gamut,
like he went from palestinian.
Like you know, he started withpuerto ricans, then going on to
black people, latinos.
Palestinians and then hisanti-Semitism, he covered the
game.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
It was an equal opportunity race set yeah,
except for white people, that'sthe only group of people that he
did not go after in any way,shape form or fashion.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
He didn't talk about no raisins in the tater salad.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
He didn't talk about no unseasoned chicken fucking
people in the audience wouldhave been offended and then so a
lot of people, especially likecomedians themselves, talk about
the fact that you have to givethem the space to just do their
jokes, and I do agree with that.
I absolutely believe you shouldhave the space to say whatever
you want, especially as acomedian.

(14:23):
You get to make whatever kindof jokes you want.
You get to tell the like.
If anything, comedians shouldbe getting as close to the third
rail as possible, at leastinappropriate venues.
The problem here is not only wasthis stuff not funny, they
weren't jokes there was no therewas no joke, there was no setup

(14:44):
, there was no real punch linehe's just talking about.
I mean, he's basically justsaying racist shit.
Um, and it's not that it'simpossible to make jokes about
race, like there are jokes thathave been fairly racist, but
they're also funny.
So if it's actually funny, Iwill give an actual comedian a

(15:08):
pass on the racism.

Speaker 5 (15:12):
Is I again.
There's a measure, actual funnyjoke.
Yes, no the nature.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
The nature of the joke implies some form of racism
, but the comedian is notintending to be offensive, it's
just making a joke that has somekind of observation about race
in America, totally fine.
Comedians do it all the time,especially black comedians
Happens all the time.

(15:37):
This shit was not funny, it wasnot jokes, it was straight up
racism.
It's probably going to I mean,in all likelihood is going to
cost Trump a swing state.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
I mean, this is the same guy who tweeted if anybody
wanted to go half season on aslave, so Fair enough.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
But in case you think we're being ridiculous, we do
have comments from otherindividuals who are not
comedians, that are just as inline with that nonsense.
I mean, it's just as bad.
Here's Rudy Giuliani followingin a similar fashion.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
September 11 was our darkest hour.
October 7 was Israel's darkesthour.
They are our best friend.
I worked for Ronald Reagan foreight years.
Ronald Reagan for eight years.

(16:36):
Ronald Reagan said we have tobe there for Israel always,
because they are always therefor us.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
The racism is coming.
Hamas is not there for us.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
Iran is not there for us.
They want to kill us and thePalestinians are taught to kill
us at two years old.
They won't let a Palestinian inJordan, they won't let a
Palestinian in Egypt and Harriswants to bring them to you.
They may have good people, I'msorry.

(17:07):
I don't take a risk with peoplethat are taught to kill
Americans at two.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
Oh Jesus, how far that man has fallen.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
I can't I mean you say that Maybe good people, but
we're not willing to take a risk.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
David is still so fucking just.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
So he's not willing to give.
He's saying I'm not willing togive someone the benefit of
humanity because OK.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, and you say how how far good people have fallen
.
I think he was always this, hewas always a closeted version of
this, and then being out ofoffice, and then the advent of
Trump, it just he has all thetime in the world to be this.
Yes, it allowed him to show ustrue colors, but quickly.

(17:57):
Before we move on from fromthat, I just wanted to go back
to that joke that the comedianmade about Latinos not pulling
out Trump's.
Trump's mom has 10 kids.

Speaker 5 (18:12):
Trump's mom has 10 kids, so she had 10 kids, oh
Jesus yeah, that's crazy well,elon Musk has like 12 with 5
baby mamas.
So that also in context at therally.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
There was like a little toddler with him at the
rally.
There was like a little toddlerwith him at the rally.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
It's entirely possible, oh yeah he had his.

Speaker 5 (18:36):
He had his son with a make america great again hat,
and they're like, oh my god,elon's parenting.
He's just like us um, you knowwhich one, are you put on the
fucking hat?

Speaker 2 (18:51):
It all goes back to Kendrick Lamar.
Elon Musk is the verydefinition of not like us.
So, in continuing along withthe racism, CNN had a guest on
who just said some incrediblyoffensive shit about?

Speaker 5 (19:08):
Is that when Mehdi Hassan went ham?

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, well, I'll play the clip for you.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
If you don't want to be called.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Nazis, stop doing it.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
You're called an anti-Semite.
You've been called ananti-Semite more than anyone
else's table.
And people will say no by me.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
I've never called you an anti-Semite.
I mean I'm not saying or sayingI'm a supporter of the
Palestinians.

Speaker 5 (19:35):
I'm used say that.
No, I did not say that.

Speaker 7 (19:36):
I said I hope you let me just stop.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
You said you have my people Of the.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Palestinian Hamas.

Speaker 6 (19:44):
Guys oh are you.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Am I what?
No, I apologize.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
I apologize.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
So that comment, if you didn't understand the
reference, it was an operationby the Israeli military
explosives, killing or woundingnumerous Hezbollah military
officials, which was anextraordinarily successful
operation in terms ofdecapitating Hezbollah's
military prowess.

(20:28):
Now again, you know, in alllikelihood I'm sure probably a
handful of innocent civilianswere probably hurt or wounded in
that operation.
That's extraordinarilyunfortunate.
Just talking about in terms ofa military operation to
decapitate a terroristorganization.
It was effective in that regard.
And that guy I forgot hisfucking name.

(20:51):
He's kind of a dick.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Accusing Manny.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Hassan, many.
I'll just call him dick.
Well, first of all, accusingmary hassan of being a terrorist
and practically saying that hewants to die, that's
extraordinarily distasteful andjust disgusting and gross.
Now, and I say this as a personwho quite regularly does not
agree with Mehdi Hassan, MehdiHassan yeah.
Yeah, especially his take on thesituation in the Middle East.

(21:19):
Not always a fan, notnecessarily, of the end goal
that he wants to get to, but theway in which he approaches it
Typically don't agree with that.
But again, these are justdisagreements.
I don't wish any harm on thedude, I don't think with that.
But again, these are justdisagreements.
I don't wish any harm on thedude.
I don't think he's a terrorist.
Do I think he supports Hamas?
Probably not.
I mean, you know his zeal forthe defense of Palestinians.

(21:43):
It does kind of lead, lean intouncomfortable territory for me
personally sometimes, becauseyou know, let's not forget, that
was a terrorist organizationthat started a war there.
That doesn't get dressed veryoften, but anyway, that aside,
totally disgusting.
And again I would just like tonote that like and this isn't a
complaint as much as anobservation but like the racism

(22:05):
against black people from thetrump campaign is just so baked
into the equation and that whenit happens the media just shrugs
its shoulders and it takessomething like you know, calling
a former MSNBC host the wrongterrorist organization, for
starters, and then also you knowa terrible comedian calling
Puerto Rico a floating island ofgarbage to, to wake the media

(22:29):
up.
Island of garbage.
To wake the media up when, infact, if they were just vigilant
about the racism against Blackpeople, like if they drew the
line there, it would never getto these other extremes.

Speaker 5 (22:42):
You know what?
D you saying that?
Because I was thinking aboutthat exact same thing.
So when Ariadne Grande,jennifer Lopez and what's his
name, ricky Martin and Bad Bunnyspoke out after that, but I'm

(23:03):
like hell even Geraldo Riverawas like hey man.
Yeah, but I'm like it's not likeTrump doesn't have a history of
shitting on Puerto Ricansbefore that and other
marginalized people, but becausethis comedian said this out
loud at this particular time,then it's like, oh, I'm going to

(23:24):
vote for Kamala Harris.
Bitch, she's been in therunning for 70, 80 goddamn days,
yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Before, until this is you want to get involved.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
You are showing that you are not for all people.
You were not standing up afterHurricane Maria.
You weren't standing up orspeaking out when Trump held
back and refused to give thefunding that Congress approved
to assist hundreds of billionsof dollars like $450 billion to
the fucking island, and youfruit billions of dollars to

(23:53):
assist hundreds of billions ofdollars like 450 billion dollars
to the fucking island and youwell, even worse than not said
nothing.
so miss me with that bullshitthat I'm not going to pat you on
the motherfucking back forsaying something eight days
before the election becausesomebody said out loud, because
if they said it in thebackground your ass would not
have said shit, like you havenot said shit for the previous

(24:15):
fucking four, eight, ten,goddamn years.
Fuck you Two things.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
So yeah, thank you.
So not only did Trump not, heblocked the billions of dollars
in aid to Puerto Rico afterHurricane Maria, but he also had
his friends start thesecompanies from scratch and then
awarded them, these tiny littlecompanies, and awarded them
hundreds of millions of dollarsof government money to go to
Puerto Rico and do work that wasnever done, so basically stole

(24:45):
aid from Puerto Rico he wantedto trade Puerto Rico for
Greenland.
Yeah, that was insane, but alsolike bigger pictures zooming out
.
This is part of the issue ofnon-Black minorities in America,
like, typically they come.
You know I'm not saying thisapplies to everyone, but
typically they come here andthey think the way to gain

(25:06):
social status and gain privilegein America is to lean in as
close to whiteness as possible,not forgetting that if you allow
the people in power and withfinancial means and resources
and access and all of that, tocontinue being racist against

(25:28):
Black people that you're tryingto escape from socially, the
racism will eventually come foryou.
And this is just an example ofpeople waking up and realizing
oh, the racism against me ishere Now it's a problem, when it
would never have gotten to thispoint if people were willing to
stand up against the racismagainst black people

(25:50):
specifically.
But again, you know, lessonlearned for a lot of people.
I hope fingers crossed.
You know Trump doesn't do greatwith the Latino community.
I'll take it.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
I'll take those motherfucking votes.
I'll take it, but fuck themstill.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
I mean, I totally understand you turning your nose
over them.
It's understandable.
But yeah, I'll take the votes.
Typically, trump doesn't doextraordinarily great with the
latino community, but he doesget you know, 33, 34, I think.
He's polling at like 35.
Um, if this knocks that numberdown to the low 30s, he's likely

(26:26):
going to lose numerous swingstates.
So fingers crossed in thatregard.
But again, as you can see, whenRepublicans are like, hey, you
can't take a joke, but then youline up clip after clip after
clip of not jokes and them justbeing flat out honest, it's

(26:46):
nothing but racism.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, and it's funny to me, the only part that's
funny is the sick irony.
That's funny is it's, you know,the sick irony that, uh, they
kept saying it was taken out ofcontext, but when we put it as
you said, it's just one afteranother, after another.
So when I stopped to examine, Isaw that the context is that
they want to make a bunch ofracist remarks.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, so there you go and then, you know, align that
with the fact that Trump wantsto basically turn the government
into his own personal army, andthey want to round up millions
of people.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
His own brown shirts.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, and put them in concentration camps and they
wonder why we call them Nazisand they wonder why.
So there was some unfortunatenews for the Trump campaign as
well.
Today, as we're recording thisis, it appears as though, well,
one of the October surprisesisn't even really a news story

(27:42):
per se, it's just a surprisebecause it's actually just going
to suck votes away from Trump.
Suck votes away from Trump andit's probably going to impact
their chances of winning theseswing states next week.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Hey, sandra, this is breaking within the last five
minutes.
The Supreme Court has declinedto take RFK Jr's name off
ballots in Michigan andWisconsin.
This is something that hewanted to do, the Trump campaign
probably upset by this.
As RFK has pledged his supportto Donald Trump, though, his
name will remain on ballots inMichigan, in Wisconsin, meaning

(28:23):
people can vote for him eventhough he's no longer a
candidate.
Ballots there were alreadyprinted.
So a loss for RFK Jr at theSupreme Court two times today in
Spain.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah, I held that back, the whole video, so.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
RFK initially entered the 2024 election on the
Democratic ticket.
We correctly identified him asa Republican in sheep's clothing
.
He quickly got dispatched byPresident Biden no one remembers
that but he had to drop out ofthe race because he was polling
so poor in comparison to Bidenthat there was no way that

(29:02):
attempted to get him on theballots in multiple states
largely swing states, but notenough states in order to
actually win enough electoralcollege votes to win the

(29:23):
election.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
So we knew it was an op in that regard, and also just
the fact that you know not onlyit's funny that they thought he
would siphon all these votesaway from Joe Biden, but
definitely not going to siphonvotes away from Kamala Harris.
It's funny because they wantedhim on there.
For this reason that he's goingto stay on there and be the
hubris.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
What people?
Aren't finding out is after hewithdrew withdrew from the
presidential race and after heendorsed Trump, but he
petitioned after he endorsed.
Trump on the ballot in Kentuckyand said, as a presidential

(30:10):
candidate so everything aboutthat motherfucker is just
fucking foul and wrong, and theonly reason that I can think
that Cheryl Hines is allgoo-goo-eyed and other than her
being a shit person is that hemust have a big fucking dick,
because I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
She probably did.
I don't know.
I don't know about the idea ofKennedy.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
I don't Look.
We've talked enough about rightwing politicians dicks over the
course of the past few weekshere, including a dead golfer,
like I'm done.
I'm sorry I'm done in thatregard, like I don't want to.

Speaker 5 (30:43):
But yeah, so it's extraordinarily funny.
No more dick.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Not today, maybe next time.
Not today, maybe next time.
Yeah, it's extraordinarilyfunny that the Trump campaign
that they were pulling a fastone over Democrats, trying to
get RFK Jr on the ballot andthen he was so right wing nut
jobby that Republicans startedthinking he was extraordinarily
popular.
And then he drops out and thenthey can't get him off the

(31:07):
ballot and he's stealing votesaway from Trump.
It's incredible.
Like kudos to those, thoseBrilliant mastermind strategy
there to shoot yourself in theface like Stuart Rhodes and
again further hampering yourprospects of winning the
presidential election.
I love these dudes.
Sometimes the scheme on thesurface seems like it's so

(31:28):
genius and then the execution ofit is so stupid that you like
you and they end up killingthemselves and like again.
That's part of the reason whyJanuary 6th failed is because we
had stupid people in theRepublican Party planning this
shit.
But again, as we've seen,there's a lot of stupid people
in the Republican Party tochoose from and so they end up
doing this nonsense that is truebefore we move away from the

(31:54):
dicks permanently.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
There was a clip of of jd vance uh being
extraordinary, seemingly adamantabout the fact that he's not
gay yeah okay, okay, I'veactually heard this and I you
know I'm not a gay guy, but I'veheard this from gay friends of
mine, damn, damn it.

Speaker 6 (32:12):
You want to talk about virality?
I'll talk about going viral.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
Yeah, that would have made some headlines.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
So that is coming from the candidate who we've
seen dressed in drag on at leasttwo occasions We've seen the
photos and also who went throughmultiple name changes in an
effort to identify his uh sexualpreference over the course of
his lifetime as a young man.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Thereby Well, he's not a gay man.
I'm not a gay man.

Speaker 5 (32:45):
I'm not a gay guy, but I heard from my gay friend.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
I'm pansexual.
It sounds like he's pansexual Iwas kidding.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
He reminds me of the type of dude that being like,
hey, sucking a dick doesn't makeyou gay, and I'm like, yeah, I
guess, but how many dicks haveyou sucked?
This is a real question.

Speaker 5 (33:05):
I don't know um, yeah , just I am pro sucking dick.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
I don't shame anybody for that I am pro sucking dick
as well, especially if you're awoman out there and you you're
like that's your favorite thing.

Speaker 5 (33:16):
A bitch gotta eat, okay, yeah.

Speaker 7 (33:20):
Hey look and you know , given that we so what?

Speaker 1 (33:22):
are we talking about?

Speaker 5 (33:23):
Well given the fact that we could potentially be
living Sucking dick for food.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Well, potentially, given the fact that we could,
given the fact that we could be,potentially living in an
America where abortion is banned, sucking dick, it'll cut down
on the need for abortion.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
You want to cut down on abortion?

Speaker 2 (33:41):
suck dick yeah, that's what republicans should
really be pushing them, baby,swallow them.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
Babies, girl do it.
Yeah, no, I just I mean my gagreflex is pretty good, so
oversharing.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
So jd vance is just extraordinarily.
He's just a fucking weirdo manlike what, who's what kind of
vice presidential candidate saysstuff like that.
It's just incredible.
Um, so we also had steve bannonbeing released from his four
month long prison sentence foroh, and you said he's six months
pregnant who is this?

(34:11):
He emerged out of jail sixmonths oh yeah, steve bannon
looked like he was eating wellin jail.
So speaking of sucking dick, toeat.

Speaker 5 (34:21):
Somebody hook that commissary up.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
No, like you said, sucking dick to eat.
You got to do what you got todo in there.

Speaker 6 (34:28):
Steve Robbie Roadsteamer here.
I'm wondering when's the nextinsurrection?
And can we storm the BurgerKing after this?
Like, can we do that?
I mean, doesn't he look greatnow?
We were in Danbury the firstmonth together.
He looks great.
You don't remember me.
We were lifting weights andstuff in the weight room.
When's the next insurrection?
How are we going to do this andstuff, man?

Speaker 3 (34:51):
I'm leaving.

Speaker 6 (34:52):
I'm having a good time.
He looks like Yoda with AIDSright now.
Robbie Rhodes.
Stephen, no political violence.
People.
This fades right now.
Robbie Rhodes.
No political violence.
People.
This place smells likemothballs.
Wow, over here, where's?
The elevator, I'm not evengoing to get hors d'oeuvres.
Or something.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
So the media showed up in mass.
The media showed up in mass fora press releaser.
Once Steve Bannon was wasreleased and I mean again he was
so the event was crashed bythis guy on twitter, roddick
road steamer.

(35:30):
Uh, I assume he's on tiktok aswell.
Dude was fucking hilarious.
Kudos to him for for that video.
I mean, that was incredible I'veseen a couple of his videos and
he is I gotta admit, that mighthave been the best shit I've
seen, just like, generallyspeaking, anyone doing anything
in person.
He's like so when are we gonnado our next insurrection?

(35:51):
And then Steve Bannon is likepointing and laughing because it
is kind of fucking hilarious.
He's like, well, actually, nowthat you mention it, now that
you mention it, now that youmention it, but no kudos to that
guy.
But Steve Bannon, fucktard, isprobably, as we speak, I would
imagine, plotting on how tosteal this election in similar

(36:13):
fashion.
Oh for sure, for sure.
Yes, he did in 2020.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
Why don't we just go photograph the inside of his
cell?

Speaker 2 (36:23):
I'm sure he wrote it all on the wall.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Okay, so one of the things Trump was saying at the
Nazi rally.
Do you know how to read shit?
Hieroglyphics.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
One of the things Trump was saying at the Nazi
rally in Madison Square Gardenis he's got a little secret with
the Speaker of the House.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
Mike Johnson.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Oh yeah, I remember that that might help him with
the Speaker of the House, mikeJohnson.
That might help him with theHouse.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
The secret is telling people to vote.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
So what I would imagine after the comments from
Steve Bannon, rather thecomments from Mike Johnson,
saying that, like it's a secretand, by definition, you're not
supposed to tell what I imagineit is, is some plot related to
how they plan to seal theelection.
That revolves around thepossibility that Throwing it to

(37:07):
the House.
So, first off, if Republicanswin the House in terms of House
majority, mike Johnson willremain Speaker of the House.
That election will be certified, and then Congress will be
sworn in on January 3rd.
Then certification for thepresidential election, which

(37:41):
will thereby throw the vote forpresident, will throw the
Electoral College votes forpresident out, whether that I
mean, rather, if Kamala Harriswins, and instead it will be
chosen by a state delegation,and how that's done isn't by the
House of Representatives, buteach state legislature gets a

(38:03):
vote and Republicans controlmore than a majority and could
thereby decide to elect Trumppresident, regardless of whether
Kamala Harris won the popularvote or the electoral college
vote.
So, in regards to you know,steve Bannon, I would imagine he

(38:27):
is probably plotting numerousalternate, alternate paths of
stealing the election, as he didin 2020.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
If I did not declare martial law and have Mike
Johnson arrested and force thenext person to do it.
I'm serious, See.

Speaker 5 (38:43):
I mean, I'm sorry are we?

Speaker 1 (38:45):
would we just sit there?
He's just going to sit thereand be like all right, okay.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Republicans' refusal to certify the election in that
case for Merrick Garland toorder the Department of Justice
to sequester Congress.

Speaker 5 (39:05):
Is Merrick Garland still alive?
He is still alive.
I need proof of life, right nowhe's still alive.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
The Department of Justice sent that.
We'll talk about this in just amoment.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
He needs to stay alive long enough to resign on
January 21st.
I'm with you, Carol.

Speaker 5 (39:19):
I know where Dee does not.
He needs to stay alive longenough to resign on January 21st
.
I'm with you, Carol.
I know where Dee does not agreewith us.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
So the weekend after Trump rather the weekend after
Elon announced that likelyillegal lottery in Pennsylvania,
the Department of Justice sentout a letter telling him to
cease and desist on Monday.
So they're aware of the shitthat's going on.
I'm sure likely it's all beinginvestigated and charges are
coming.

Speaker 5 (39:44):
I don't need them to send out a letter.
I need them to send out somefucking officers with some
goddamn cuffs.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Back to Steve Bannon here so back in 2020, before the
election, steve Bannon wasliterally telling us what the
plan was to, no matter whathappens in terms of voters
voting for president, that trumpwas basically going to declare
he won anyway, and then theywere going to try to steal it
through the courts, and thenthey were going to try and steal
it through fake electors.

(40:09):
So, in all likelihood, I wouldimagine steve or bannon is
looped into whatever the plan isnow and he'll likely
immediately get on camera totell his supporters what the
plan is, thereby revealing it toeveryone.
So just stay tuned for that.
I'm sure that's coming prettysoon and you know, again, I can
see.
I can understand how you'reprobably not pleased with

(40:31):
Merrick Garland because you knowTrump's not in prison, even
though he largely has nothing todo with that.
That was the Supreme court, butMerrick Garland was the steve
bannon was in prison.
So I mean, like I don't know.
It's like I don't know, don'tknow what you want him to do
here.
All right, I'll give you that I?

Speaker 1 (40:51):
want him to fuck someone up yeah, yeah, I want to
see.

Speaker 5 (40:54):
I want to see him put them dukes up.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
I could deal with like I don't know I'm trying to
think like we're just gonna letlet them bulldoze over the
election.
Nah, I think that's one thingpeople are forgetting about.
They're like they could do allthis stuff.
Be like, yeah, but joe biden'spresident, is he gonna let them?
I can't, he's not gonna be likefor the good of the country.

Speaker 5 (41:16):
I'm just going to let whatever the fuck happen.
January the 22nd, after the dayafter Biden was inaugurated,
it's the 20th.
Merrick Garland should havebeen on this shit period.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
I feel that way you're not going to change my
mind, you're not going to knowwell, I think there's one thing
I could tell you that mightpossibly change your mind,
merrick.
Garland wasn't confirmed toGarland wasn't confirmed to his
position as Attorney Generaluntil March of 2021.

Speaker 5 (41:45):
Okay, March.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
He had two months to get his shit together.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
Okay, I think it was two to three weeks after he was
appointed Attorney General.
He had a secret task forceconstructed to go after the top
of the January 6th electionplotters.
So I mean he did like Trump'sindicted.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
That's because the January 6th commission forced
his fucking hand Like if theyhad not exposed all that they
did.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
We don't have time to argue about Merrick Garland.
We're going to disagree.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
So, April of 2021,.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
That was before the January 6th committee Was even
commissioned.
I was just saying.
I just you know, like thecommittee Didn't do any public
hearings for months.
Bless you, bless you.
Yeah, that was the cutestsneeze ever.
That's quite adorable, well.
