Could the unexpected victory of Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential election transform global politics as we know it? Tune in as we dissect this shocking outcome, emphasizing the stark contrast between the muted reactions of American allies and the celebratory fervor among adversaries like Russia. We also examine Nancy Pelosi's sharp critique of the Democratic primary process and explore her insights on how different strategies might have reshaped the political landscape, potentially altering the path to victory for Democrats.
As political dynamics shift in Washington, radical plans to dismantle the so-called "deep state" are underway. We uncover bold moves to reform national security and intelligence agencies, including overhauling FISA courts and establishing a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This critical discussion raises pressing questions about the future of American governance, the potential hollowing out of federal agencies, and the societal impacts of redirecting education funding from public to private institutions. How will these changes influence justice, intelligence operations, and military leadership?
Explore the intricate web of cronyism and policy-making in a potential second Trump administration, with a spotlight on key figures like Elon Musk. Our conversation dives into the controversial relationship between Trump and Musk, hinting at mutual dependencies and shared secrets. We further analyze the impact of third-party candidates like Jill Stein and RFK Jr. on the election's outcome, while considering Trump's foreign policy, especially regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The role of social media activism and its disappearing voices adds another layer to this complex political tapestry, prompting reflections on the future of both American and international politics.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
One, two, three, four .
Hey, this is D-Night.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
This is Carol, this is Ty.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to the Pardon the Insurrection
podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We meant it as a fucking joke.
We meant Pardon theInsurrection as a play on words,
not a suggestion.
What the fuck?
You're all fucked up.
And that was literally about tohappen.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
He's about to pardon all the insurrectionists Again.
So obviously, it's been quitethe week since Trump snatched
victory from the jaws of defeatand won in the 2024 presidential
election.
Boo-hoo, no one's excited aboutthat.
Literally across the world,numerous countries, people here
in the United States, everywherewe're celebrating the victory
(00:43):
of President Biden 2020 afterhis electoral victory in 2024.
After Trump's electoral victory, the only people seemingly
celebrating across the world areenemies of the United States,
so that should probably give yousome kind of indication as to
where we're at as a country.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Zelensky was all of us today of indication as to
where we're at as a country.
Zelensky was all of us today.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That he was.
He's defiantly claiming thathe's not going to hand over
Ukraine and their democracy toVladimir Putin.
I wish Americans?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
No, he said a fucking terrorist.
Well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
If you want to use his exact words in that regard.
Yes, he said he's not going tohand over Ukraine to a fucking
terrorist and Vladimir Putin.
I wish Americans had to sharethat same sentiment, but
apparently too many people aretoo stupid to be allowed to vote
.
Unfortunately, they're now inpower and they're going to use
that power against us, but notagain.
(01:43):
Even though many people acrossthe world were displeased with
the election of Donald Trump tothe White House, there were,
well, we'll say, a certaincountry out there who was quite
delighted about the event, andthey were on their media.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Proof that the McCarthyism maybe didn't go hard
enough the first time on theirmedia.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Proof that the McCarthyism maybe didn't go hard
enough the first time, maybe so, but on their media outlet they
did share a welcome video tothe newly incoming second Trump
administration.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
You remember, we can't speak Russian, right?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So for the audio audience out there I picked up
what they were putting down.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I can't even see the Russian.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
For the audio only.
Audience out there for yourinformation, that was a video
played by.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That was me, because I couldn't find the screen with
the video in it.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
For the audio only audience out there listening to
the podcast.
That was, I don't understand,carol.
So that was a video played byrussian state media.
That is probably the funniest,legitimately most hilarious
instance of revenge porn I'veever seen, by playing nude,
showing nude photos of melnieTrump.
(03:03):
It was extraordinarilyhilarious.
Kudos to those guys Like youplayed the game great over there
in Moscow.
You did it.
You got your boy in office andthe second he wins, you hold the
barrel, hold the gun over hishead and be like look bro, step
out of line.
We will basically unload all ofthe compromising information
(03:25):
and materials that we have onyou against you.
So, yeah, good job guys.
That was.
That was incredible.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Uh, I just I really wish I'd seen that.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Uh, you'll see it next time.
So, uh, just you know, in termsof unfortunate set of
circumstances, uh, don't thinkAmerica has experienced anything
about nearly as detrimental tojust American society as they're
about to experience.
Over the course of the nextfour, four and a half years,
(03:56):
it's going to be rough out there.
It's like, obviously, as yousee here, our allies are
cowering in fear.
It's extraordinarily quiet outthere in these streets and our
adversaries are like awesome jobAmerica.
Again, it's just an unfortunateset of circumstances.
All we can do at this point, Iwould imagine, is dig in, fight
(04:18):
our fight and hope that the badguys, including the Trump
administration and Trump himself, make a number of mistakes.
They put us in a position tocapitalize maybe as soon as 2026
, if we do in fact have midtermelections.
But beyond Russia, state mediacelebrating with nude pics of
(04:39):
Melania Trump, which I'm sureabsolutely no one needed to see,
we do have comments here fromNancy Pelosi about the outcome
of the election and, potentially, what might have gone wrong.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Had the president gotten out sooner, there may
have been other candidates inthe race.
The anticipation was that ifthe president were to step aside
, that there would be an openprimary and, as I say, Kamala
may have.
I think she would have donewell in that and been stronger
going forward.
(05:17):
But we don't know that thatdidn't happen.
We live with what happened andbecause the president endorsed
Kamala Harris immediately, thatreally made it almost impossible
to have a primary at that timeI really wouldn't throw a
goddamn shoe at her face If ithad been much earlier.
It would have been different.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So a couple of things there, right, obviously, nancy
Pelosi didn't want Biden to runfor reelection at all, and then,
after a semi-poor, poor debate,obviously she didn't want
Kamala to run either.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I mean, that's what I got, that was my takeaway.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Fuck her so after a semi, you know poor performance
at a presidential debate.
She decided to stab theDemocratic candidate in the back
by rallying the rest of themembers of Congress to lobby Joe
Biden to drop out.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
He finally, she was suggesting there should have
been an open primary in themiddle of July.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
That's exactly what she said.
Well, she's suggesting that heshould have dropped out earlier
or earlier in the year to allowenough time for an open primary.
Get to that in just a second.
So in getting the thing thatshe wanted specifically Joe
Biden dropping out she did notget what she wanted, which was
(06:35):
Kamala Harris not being theDemocratic nominee, and she's
suggesting that if Biden haddropped out earlier in the race,
there would have been time fora process to play out.
I've got a couple ofcounterpoints for that.
So the last time we had apresidential candidate who was
an incumbent president drop outof the race with a contested
primary, the Democratic Partygot destroyed.
You might have some wellconsidering the DNC.
(07:01):
The National Convention washeld in Chicago over the course
of the summer.
That has a lot of ties to thelast time this happened, when
the previous DNC was held inChicago, so we repeated history
there.
Apparently, we're not willingto learn from our mistakes, but
maybe that'll change the nexttime around.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
No, I quit fucking with Nancy Pelosi when she
turned her back on Katie Hillwith the whole revenge porn
thing.
Like she should have stood byher but forcing her to resign,
like already humiliated, insteadof standing behind her as a
woman.
I was through with Nancy.
I was through with Pelosi sincethen because I was like bitch
like for real.
(07:38):
The Democratic Party definitelyneeds to learn a lesson about
standing behind their electedofficials, who've done nothing
wrong, for that matter exactlyand that made all the difference
, and then making her feel likewhen she did nothing wrong and
she's got this abusive ex andthe revenge porn, as well as her
standing behind henry cuelarwhere is he at now?
(07:58):
Over jessica cisneros, whowould have been a fantastic, uh,
progressive candidate down inthe Rio Grande Valley, and she
had tremendous support and Ithink their votes, if I'm not
mistaken, were only like a fewhundred apart, but they went all
in on the establishmentpro-life Democrat, because
(08:22):
Pelosi hates young people andshe hates young women especially
.
She hates progressive youngwomen especially.
She definitely changed my mind.
Well, she definitely hatesprogressive, progressives.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
But in part it kind of depends on where you're
trying to run that progressiveLike it's difficult to run.
I know she's a thousand, I getthat.
No, no, no, Wait, wait, wait,wait a second run.
I know she's a thousand, I getthat.
No, no, wait, wait, wait asecond.
So in in some cases, likerunning a progressive candidate
in a really red district, isjust tough to pull off,
generally speaking, becauseyou've got built-in
disadvantages.
(08:54):
But she's also been againstsome progressive candidates in
in blue landing states and lookI was like katie hill flipped
her seat blue yeah and then,when they pushed her out, boom
goes to my car, yeah
Speaker 5 (09:09):
I got red and henry queller.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
It was a safe, dim district and, like I said, it
was only a few hundred votesbetween him and cisneros.
Right, but them going down inthere so yeah.
So miss me with that bullshit.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Like she, I'm no, now the other the other issue is
sometimes you have a you have asubset of left leaning, super
left leaning, progressivecandidates who exist solely to
try to destroy the DemocraticParty from within.
And you know, look, I'm notapproving Nancy Pelosi in any
regard, at least not under thesecircumstances.
But you definitely do have tosafeguard your party and the
(09:48):
reason why.
Well, just look at theRepublican Party.
They didn't safeguard theirparty against demagoguery and
incels and now look whathappened they're about to
destroy the planet.
So you know, I just I doquestion Nancyosi's judgment in
a lot of cases.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
It's especially like I, I really do, like I don't
know yeah, I mean so.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I I mean I've said it here a number of times like
president biden, got to 81million votes.
He was a generational candidatebecause of the circumstances
the country was facing and hemet the moment and performed
better than any otherpresidential candidate in the
history of America.
And a lot of elected officialslooked at that and said, no, we
(10:37):
want to lose again and, you know, committed to self-sabotage in
that regard.
But we also have a clip of JonStewart and his thoughts on the
2024 election.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Here's what we know is that we don't really know
anything and that we're going tocome out of this election and
we're going to make all kind ofpronouncements about what this
country is and what this worldis, and the truth is we're not
really going to know shit andwe're going to make it seem like
this is the finality of ourcivilization and this and thing.
We're all going to have to wakeup tomorrow morning and work
(11:08):
like hell to move the world tothe place that we prefer it to
be.
And I just want to point out,just as a matter of perspective,
that the lessons that ourpundits take away from these
results that they will pronouncewith certainty will be wrong,
and we have to remember that In2008, when Barack Obama won,
(11:33):
there's no question that this isthe beginning, the first
election of the future, really,and I think we are moving
towards a post-racial America.
Yeah, that lasted a day.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
And then, of course, in 2012, obama won again and the
lesson was the GOP needs tosend a powerful signal to
Hispanic voters that the partyrespects them.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
That was the lesson they learned after that victory
and they were certain of it andsend a powerful signal to the
Hispanic community.
The GOP did.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
When Mexico sends its people, they're bringing drugs,
they're bringing crime, they'rerapists.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
Which apparently was the winning message and that
taught Democrats in 2016 what.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Maybe what the Democrats will be looking for is
somebody with some insideexperience, but who's a
generation younger.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
It's obviously going to be younger, it's going to be
from a new generation.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Need I say it?
Speaker 7 (12:37):
It's a great honor and humility, I accept this
nomination.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
And that turned out to be a winning message again,
which led to an insurrection,and the lesson from that was,
when Donald Trump leaves officeon Wednesday morning, he will
leave Washington a pariah.
Donald Trump will never beallowed to set foot in the
Capitol again.
Never Ever.
(13:05):
My point is this, but thisisn't the end.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I promise you, and we're going to stop him right
there, because immediately uponhis return to the Daily Show on
Comedy Central, the first courseof action for him was to do
what destroy joe biden's chancesof winning the 2024 election
exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Uh, yeah, that's why I'm like, yeah, so all
motherfucking day on thatbullshit yes, I mean yeah yeah,
the one thing I can tell youabout john stewart is he's
probably right.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
We'll all learn the wrong lessons from whatever
happened in the 2024 election.
He's probably absolutelycorrect about that.
But in regards to his take onthings, get that shit out of
here.
First episode, back.
What was it?
Joe Biden's old Great job guys.
Way to sabotage yourself andthen wonder why you lost.
(14:05):
I mean him, along with a numberof other individuals.
The Pod, save America guys, theBulwark, you know, medhi hassan
, number of even supposedlyleft-leaning msnbc hosts spent a
month destroying joe bidenafter the bait.
And then what did we come tofind out eventually, after
(14:26):
kamala harris destroyed trump attheir debate debates don't
matter way to overre't matter,way to overreact to something
totally mean.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
People were happy with it.
Well, people weren't happy withthe old white man, but I wonder
how he would have done.
I mean, people kept saying hewas going to lose too.
They were certain Everything isbullshit.
And I also share the part ofthe video where he screamed into
the abyss, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Where he screamed into the abyss, yeah, yeah,
where he said bleep that part.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Have you guys heard Bloody, bloody Andrew Jackson.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I have not heard that .
Speaker 2 (15:03):
It's the prequel to Trump's second campaign?
No, it's not, but it's amusical about.
It's a musical about AndrewJackson's campaign.
Uh, bloody, bloody campaign.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, Fantastic, We'll have to.
We'll have to save that fornext week.
Um, but yes, Ty, that's that'sprobably what our podcast is
going to sound like for theforeseeable future Just a bunch
of bleeps, just everythingbleeped out.
Maybe you'll get an and or thein there, like the bleepity
bleep.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You usually beep us out.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
No, I'm kidding, so it's just.
I just, I am extraordinarilyfrustrated with the punditry
here who are like how could thishave happened?
You know, how could DonaldTrump have won, even though they
spent four years normalizingall of the eight, well, eight
years normalizing all of theTrump insanity.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
It's like as soon as we find the guys who did this.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, it is the SpongeBob meme, with him in the
police uniform staring at thewanted poster with the face of
SpongeBob on it.
So yeah, these people whocontributed mightily to the
demise of the United States aretrying to figure out how it
happened.
After the fact, all you guysgot to do out there is look in a
(16:14):
fucking mirror.
It is, it's not that difficult,just you know.
Thanks, jon Stewart, foreverything you've ever done.
But in hindsight, looking back,on it.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
So, in other words, thanks for nothing.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
You cheered us off after 9-11.
John stewart was there okay.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Well, I guess in that regard I will give him the
tiniest bit of praise for sayingjust attempting to console the
nation from me after horrificdisaster, um, but in terms of
what this election means andhaving a trump, trump or trump
(16:59):
administration the second timearound, uh well, we've got a
clip from donald trump himselfon plans once he's first in
office once in.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
Here's my plan to dismantle the deep state and
reclaim our democracy fromWashington corruption Once and
for all, and corruption it is.
First, I will immediatelyreissue my 2020 executive order
restoring the president'sauthority to remove rogue
bureaucrats, and I will wieldthat power very aggressively.
(17:32):
Second, we will clean out allof the corrupt actors in our
national security andintelligence apparatus, and
there are plenty of them.
The departments and agenciesthat have been weaponized will
be completely overhauled so thatfaceless bureaucrats will never
again be able to target andpersecute conservatives,
(17:53):
christians or the left'spolitical enemies, which they're
doing now at a level thatnobody can believe even possible
.
Third, we will totally reformFISA courts, which are so
corrupt that the judgesseemingly do not care when they
are lied to in warrantapplications.
So many judges have seen somany applications that they know
(18:15):
were wrong, or at least theymust have known.
They do nothing about it.
They're lied to.
Fourth, to expose the hoaxes andabuses of power that have been
tearing our country apart, wewill establish a Truth and
Reconciliation Commission todeclassify and publish all
documents on deep state spying,censorship and corruption and
(18:38):
there are plenty of them.
Fifth, we will launch a majorcrackdown on government leakers
who collude with the fake newsto deliberately weave false
narratives and to subvert ourgovernment and our democracy.
When possible, we will presscriminal charges.
Sixth, we will make everyinspector general's office
(19:00):
independent and physicallyseparated from the departments
they oversee, so they do notbecome the protectors of the
deep state.
Seventh, I will ask Congress toestablish an independent
auditing system to continuallymonitor our intelligence
agencies to ensure they are notspying on our citizens or
(19:22):
running disinformation campaignsagainst the American people, or
that they are not spying onsomeone's campaign like they
spied on my campaign.
Eighth, we will continue theeffort launched by the Trump
administration to move parts ofthe sprawling federal
bureaucracy to new locationsoutside the Washington swamp.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
All right, so long story short.
It's going to be really fuckingbad guys.
Now I know a lot of peoplelistening to this, probably.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Was that music behind his speech?
That eerie music?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yes, it was extraordinarily disheartening
hearing the music play behind it, or insanity.
So I'm sure a lot of youlistening are a lot more
informed than, like that, themedian voter on Trump's plans.
But if you're notextraordinarily familiar, what
you were hearing was a veryaccurate description of you
guessed it Project 2025,.
If you're not extraordinarilyfamiliar, what you were hearing
(20:15):
was a very accurate descriptionof you guessed it project 2025.
If you've read that and I knowmillions of people haven't read
that, because there wasapparently a spike in google
searches on project 2025immediately after the election,
which indicates that millions ofamericans have no idea what the
fuck they just voted for Yep.
So he's going to first of all,hollow out the federal
(20:35):
government.
A bunch of people are about toget fired, about to lose their
jobs, people who just work inthese agencies where they have a
bit of expertise making surethat the government functions
and the country functions asit's supposed to.
The Department of Educationthat thing's probably gone.
So you know, good luck makingsure schools all across the
(20:58):
country educate your kids.
You want to get a student loan?
You want to go to college?
That's going to beextraordinarily difficult.
Now we're going to have a bunchof red states diverting funds
from public schools to privateschools, private institutions.
So your children are going tobe less educated and your
teachers are going to beunderfunded.
(21:20):
Oh, speaking of which, they'reprobably going to.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Scared.
The teachers are going to bescared to teach anything.
Because he's threatening towithhold funding from schools
who teach lies against him.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, that's, that's something.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I heard previously on like a Fox interview.
Which.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
I am assuming is the truth.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
That's entirely plausible.
So you don't even know whatkind of education your kids are
going to be getting, becauseteachers are probably just going
to teach absolutely nothing.
Prageru Right.
Yeah, we're going to get thePragerU education.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Trump University, prageru, making comebacks.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah, so much for teachers getting raises.
That's going out of the window.
It's going to be all bad.
Oh, it's so much for schoolslike ensuring that you know if
you have a disabled student thatthey'll be able to access the
school in any form fashionwhatsoever.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
And they just also said he's going to try to
imprison any sources forjournalists.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, look, there's a whole list of things, but I was
just speaking specificallyabout the Department of
Education there.
So the intelligence agencieshe's going to hollow those out
and replace all of those peoplewith Trump loyalists.
Agencies are going to be usedto now aid our allies or aid our
enemies and disrupt the effortsof our allies, including likely
(22:37):
spying on American citizens.
So good luck with that.
The Department of Justice thatthing is going to no longer
exist.
So everyone that's hoping thatif Trump does something
outrageous and breaks the law,there'll be be another special
counsel investigation, likethere was in 2017.
That's no longer a possibility.
The FBI so if you're aware ofthose text messages that were
(23:01):
being sent out in mass tonumerous people across the
United States suggesting thatthey've been drafted to be sent
to a Trump plantation as slaves,the FBI is investigating that
activity.
Those investigations are goingto cease to exist.
The FBI is going to become anapparatus designed solely to
(23:22):
protect Trump allies andprosecute his enemies.
So so much for that.
Of course, got the armed forces.
The military will be under hisdirect control.
He's going to get rid of all ofthe generals, as he's
previously said before.
Hopefully, he won't executethem in ways that he alluded to
when he was out of office.
(23:43):
But you know, if he does sorryguys should have done more to
stop him on January 6th.
That was your fault and, of ofcourse, they are currently
having conversations about whatto do.
Should trump uh issue illegalorders asking them to attack
united states citizens?
And there were.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
There was a conversation, I believe, on cnn,
about that very matter well,I'm a little concerned, honestly
, if the bureaucracy, whetherit's in the Pentagon or any
other agency, is already havingdiscussions about how to
countermand the commander inchief.
I mean, let's remember how thisworks.
He got elected president, he'sthe commander in chief, he gives
the orders, they follow them,and so I don't like the idea
(24:25):
candidly Wolf, of non-electedgovernment people at any level
having meetings with each otherabout how to thwart the duly
elected president of the UnitedStates.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Now the military absolutely has to have these
conversations because, as youmight be well aware, there are
previous instances of Trumpordering the military to shoot
processors in 2020.
So, obviously, he's issuedillegal orders before he will do
so again, and it's only, it'san only reasonable conclusion to
draw that the military shouldbe preparing for any kind of
(25:00):
instances where Trump might tryto illegally abuse his power as
commander in chief in order themilitary to do things that they
should not be doing.
Of course, sadly, trump's notgoing to be held accountable in
any way whatsoever because, asyou heard, basically anyone in
these federal agencies if theyattempt to blow the whistle on
(25:23):
such activities, he would usethe powers of the federal
government against them,including prosecutions.
So we're likely not going tohear about bad things in the
works until they actually happenand we see them play out in
public.
Sadly, but this is what amajority of Americans voted for.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Unless he keeps saying it out loud, like he
always does and always has,that's also true.
Yes, he does make very publicproclamations about how much he
probably had to practice thatspeech and how much they had to
like amp him up on amphetamines.
I mean to get him to deliver it.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I'm pretty sure they.
They edited it in chunks and ofcourse he had the teleprompter
there.
As you could see, he wasclearly struggling to read
everything off.
But I, yeah, I mean I see,there's just there's.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
The only confidence we have is in his incompetence
and their incompetence.
That's a problem with cronyismhe is getting.
He got rid of everyone who wasworth anything intellectually
left his campaign already andhe's just getting a bunch of
fucking sycophants andsycophants, whatever yeah,
whatever.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Yeah, psych offense is good too.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I'll take that, I'll accept that we'll put that on
the record.
Psych offense as well, uh, but,and it's, and it's going to be
worse than that, because he'snot really the one making these
personnel decisions.
Um, those decisions have beenoutsourced to people in his
campaign, specifically, you knowwell, elon musk but what
(26:51):
happens when those peoplequestion him?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
What happens when Elon Musk pisses him off?
Do you think he still needsElon Musk?
Elon Musk got him elected.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I'm extraordinarily certain at this point that they
are bound at the hip to eachother for a couple of reasons,
because Elon Musk in alllikelihood committed numerous
felonies in order to get trumpelected, so he needs trump in
office or at the very least,needs a republican in office to
protect him yeah, but why doestrump still need musk now that
(27:21):
he's been elected?
Uh, because I'm also justassuming that elon musk is aware
of numerous criminalconspiracies that Trump's
engaged in.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
But nobody gives a shit anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Well, this is the thing, right.
So the reason I'm assuming, thereason why a lot of Republicans
didn't turn on Trump afterJanuary 6th is because of their
own involvement.
Right, Like, it's one of thoseif you go down, we all go down
together type of situations.
(27:54):
They're holding a gun at eachother's head, not not literally
speaking, but yeah, and you know, elon Musk is going to be
making a lot of decisions aboutforeign policy and all of the
positions in the federalgovernment that affect the
financial state of the UnitedStates.
I mean just, it's going to be,it's going to be.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I can only hope they leave him in charge of gutting
and gutting the agencies andstaffing them just as well as he
staffed Twitter.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
And then you can see if their evil plans are carried
out with the same effectivenessas Twitter continued to work.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, fingers crossed .
Hopefully Elon Musk will beresponsible for staffing these
positions as well as he staffedhis America PAC.
That was apparently goingaround and not even knocking on
doors and just filling out theforms afterwards.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
He was just kidnapping them.
Yes, those people were beingtrafficked in U-Hauls.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
That was just the Black people Carol.
So I read that wasn't everyone,that was just the Black workers.
He was trafficking them acrossstate lines in vans with no
seats.
It was absolutely wild to seethat play out and absolutely
nothing be done about that.
But now that trump's won theelection unless something
drastic happens whererepublicans end up not in
(29:13):
control of the white housethat's going to go
uninvestigated and likely haveno ramifications for elon musk
whatsoever, unless some of thesestates do investigations and
bring charges.
But you know, fingers crossed,you can hope for that.
I'm not entirely certain thatthat's likely, but it is a
possibility.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Be careful.
I don't want them coming inlike to kidnap and rape us you,
because I know that yourbutthole is delicate.
But Hi yes, what's up?
No, somebody had just knockedon and sounded like somebody
just knocked on the door andwe're like whoa, we already got
(29:57):
our orders.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Maybe it was one of those.
Maybe it was one of thosemythical illegal immigrants In
Mexico.
Yeah, they were probablyAmerican.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Oh, that's true.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
They're fleeing the country, so that is a good point
, right.
But speaking of potentialconsequences of second Trump
administration, I mean thatconversation is going to be
ongoing indefinitely.
I know a lot of people outthere over the course of the
past year were concerned withthe war that Israel was waging
against Hamas and what it meansfor Palestinians.
(30:34):
Well, we have something fromTrump on that.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
President, we will deport the foreign jihad
sympathizers and we will deportthem very quickly.
And Hamas supporters will begone.
We will remove the jihadistsympathizers and Jew haters.
We're going to remove the Jewhaters who do nothing to help
our country.
(31:01):
They only want to destroy ourcountry and we will never let
the horrors of October 7th berepeated here on Americans.
We will not let that happen.
Unlike liberal Kamala, I willsupport Israel's right to win
its war on terror.
You have to support that Got towin, got to finish it all.
And instead of pandering to thejihad sympathizers and America
(31:26):
hating radicals, we will deportthem.
We will deport them veryquickly.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, so for everyone who was calling.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
He will sign for the win again.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
For everyone who was calling President Biden genocide
Joe, there you go, you got thecandidate that you wanted in the
White.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
House.
Thank you, Jill Stein, for allof your hard work.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Jill Stein didn't get millions.
I mean that she did.
She break the.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
She got enough.
She got about point.
Five percent of the vote.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
But, was there any where there are enough states
that if she didn't exist andHarris had gotten all of what I
did?
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I looked at.
I don't know if it was Arizonaor Nevada, but the number of
votes that she got and her andRFK Jr was like almost double
what Harris.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah, if you combine the third party vote in a couple
of the swing states, it wouldbe enough, yeah, to account for
the margin between Harris andTrump.
So kudos to you guys in thatregard.
You know Trump has said sincewinning the election that he
would like Benjamin Netanyahu tofinish the war before he even
takes office, and in that regardhe means wipe out Gaza.
(32:36):
It's going to become a parkinglot and after that I'm assuming
Jared Kushner will be buildingbeachfront property.
And so much for the West Bankthat's going to get annexed,
sayonara.
It's unfortunate, but you knowthis is what a majority of
American citizens voted for.
If you're like super freePalestine out there, we try to
tell you that like well, yes, we, we definitely care about the
(33:01):
fate of the people in Palestine.
It wasn't an issue that anumber of Americans were super
concerned with and in alllikelihood, I'm sure a majority
of white Americans are like hell, let's just nuke Gaza.
I know it sucks to hear that.
We were on your side and wetried to get you the candidate
(33:22):
that would be most beneficial tothe Palestinian cause.
But unfortunately, here you are.
You're stuck with Trump and theconsequences are going to.
I mean, it's going to be whatit is.
And also, I would just like topoint out that over the past six
months or so, I've been seeingnonstop watermelon accounts just
go viral day after day onTwitter.
(33:43):
Non-stop watermelon accountsjust go viral day after day on
Twitter, just flooding my feedregularly in ways that was kind
of unusual.
And now, since Trump's won theelection, absolute silence from
those guys.
So if you've got a watermelonin your account, that is no
shade at you.
You're an actual, real personand I believe that you support a
cause.
That is just and reasonable.
(34:03):
But a lot of your alliesdisappeared and you probably got
a wonder about that, what thatactually means, that you've been
investing your time and energyin, in, in what your movement
was actually intended to do overthe course of an election year.
Just some food for thoughtthere.
I'm not pointing any fingersper se, just
One, two, three, four .
Hey, this is D-Night.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
This is Carol, this is Ty.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to the Pardon the Insurrection
podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We meant it as a fucking joke.
We meant Pardon theInsurrection as a play on words,
not a suggestion.
What the fuck?
You're all fucked up.
And that was literally about tohappen.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
He's about to pardon all the insurrectionists Again.
So obviously, it's been quitethe week since Trump snatched
victory from the jaws of defeatand won in the 2024 presidential
election.
Boo-hoo, no one's excited aboutthat.
Literally across the world,numerous countries, people here
in the United States, everywherewe're celebrating the victory
(00:43):
of President Biden 2020 afterhis electoral victory in 2024.
After Trump's electoral victory, the only people seemingly
celebrating across the world areenemies of the United States,
so that should probably give yousome kind of indication as to
where we're at as a country.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Zelensky was all of us today of indication as to
where we're at as a country.
Zelensky was all of us today.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That he was.
He's defiantly claiming thathe's not going to hand over
Ukraine and their democracy toVladimir Putin.
I wish Americans?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
No, he said a fucking terrorist.
Well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
If you want to use his exact words in that regard.
Yes, he said he's not going tohand over Ukraine to a fucking
terrorist and Vladimir Putin.
I wish Americans had to sharethat same sentiment, but
apparently too many people aretoo stupid to be allowed to vote
.
Unfortunately, they're now inpower and they're going to use
that power against us, but notagain.
(01:43):
Even though many people acrossthe world were displeased with
the election of Donald Trump tothe White House, there were,
well, we'll say, a certaincountry out there who was quite
delighted about the event, andthey were on their media.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Proof that the McCarthyism maybe didn't go hard
enough the first time on theirmedia.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Proof that the McCarthyism maybe didn't go hard
enough the first time, maybe so, but on their media outlet they
did share a welcome video tothe newly incoming second Trump
administration.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
You remember, we can't speak Russian, right?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So for the audio audience out there I picked up
what they were putting down.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I can't even see the Russian.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
For the audio only.
Audience out there for yourinformation, that was a video
played by.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That was me, because I couldn't find the screen with
the video in it.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
For the audio only audience out there listening to
the podcast.
That was, I don't understand,carol.
So that was a video played byrussian state media.
That is probably the funniest,legitimately most hilarious
instance of revenge porn I'veever seen, by playing nude,
showing nude photos of melnieTrump.
(03:03):
It was extraordinarilyhilarious.
Kudos to those guys Like youplayed the game great over there
in Moscow.
You did it.
You got your boy in office andthe second he wins, you hold the
barrel, hold the gun over hishead and be like look bro, step
out of line.
We will basically unload all ofthe compromising information
(03:25):
and materials that we have onyou against you.
So, yeah, good job guys.
That was.
That was incredible.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Uh, I just I really wish I'd seen that.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Uh, you'll see it next time.
So, uh, just you know, in termsof unfortunate set of
circumstances, uh, don't thinkAmerica has experienced anything
about nearly as detrimental tojust American society as they're
about to experience.
Over the course of the nextfour, four and a half years,
(03:56):
it's going to be rough out there.
It's like, obviously, as yousee here, our allies are
cowering in fear.
It's extraordinarily quiet outthere in these streets and our
adversaries are like awesome jobAmerica.
Again, it's just an unfortunateset of circumstances.
All we can do at this point, Iwould imagine, is dig in, fight
(04:18):
our fight and hope that the badguys, including the Trump
administration and Trump himself, make a number of mistakes.
They put us in a position tocapitalize maybe as soon as 2026
, if we do in fact have midtermelections.
But beyond Russia, state mediacelebrating with nude pics of
(04:39):
Melania Trump, which I'm sureabsolutely no one needed to see,
we do have comments here fromNancy Pelosi about the outcome
of the election and, potentially, what might have gone wrong.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Had the president gotten out sooner, there may
have been other candidates inthe race.
The anticipation was that ifthe president were to step aside
, that there would be an openprimary and, as I say, Kamala
may have.
I think she would have donewell in that and been stronger
going forward.
(05:17):
But we don't know that thatdidn't happen.
We live with what happened andbecause the president endorsed
Kamala Harris immediately, thatreally made it almost impossible
to have a primary at that timeI really wouldn't throw a
goddamn shoe at her face If ithad been much earlier.
It would have been different.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So a couple of things there, right, obviously, nancy
Pelosi didn't want Biden to runfor reelection at all, and then,
after a semi-poor, poor debate,obviously she didn't want
Kamala to run either.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I mean, that's what I got, that was my takeaway.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Fuck her so after a semi, you know poor performance
at a presidential debate.
She decided to stab theDemocratic candidate in the back
by rallying the rest of themembers of Congress to lobby Joe
Biden to drop out.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
He finally, she was suggesting there should have
been an open primary in themiddle of July.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
That's exactly what she said.
Well, she's suggesting that heshould have dropped out earlier
or earlier in the year to allowenough time for an open primary.
Get to that in just a second.
So in getting the thing thatshe wanted specifically Joe
Biden dropping out she did notget what she wanted, which was
(06:35):
Kamala Harris not being theDemocratic nominee, and she's
suggesting that if Biden haddropped out earlier in the race,
there would have been time fora process to play out.
I've got a couple ofcounterpoints for that.
So the last time we had apresidential candidate who was
an incumbent president drop outof the race with a contested
primary, the Democratic Partygot destroyed.
You might have some wellconsidering the DNC.
(07:01):
The National Convention washeld in Chicago over the course
of the summer.
That has a lot of ties to thelast time this happened, when
the previous DNC was held inChicago, so we repeated history
there.
Apparently, we're not willingto learn from our mistakes, but
maybe that'll change the nexttime around.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
No, I quit fucking with Nancy Pelosi when she
turned her back on Katie Hillwith the whole revenge porn
thing.
Like she should have stood byher but forcing her to resign,
like already humiliated, insteadof standing behind her as a
woman.
I was through with Nancy.
I was through with Pelosi sincethen because I was like bitch
like for real.
(07:38):
The Democratic Party definitelyneeds to learn a lesson about
standing behind their electedofficials, who've done nothing
wrong, for that matter exactlyand that made all the difference
, and then making her feel likewhen she did nothing wrong and
she's got this abusive ex andthe revenge porn, as well as her
standing behind henry cuelarwhere is he at now?
(07:58):
Over jessica cisneros, whowould have been a fantastic, uh,
progressive candidate down inthe Rio Grande Valley, and she
had tremendous support and Ithink their votes, if I'm not
mistaken, were only like a fewhundred apart, but they went all
in on the establishmentpro-life Democrat, because
(08:22):
Pelosi hates young people andshe hates young women especially
.
She hates progressive youngwomen especially.
She definitely changed my mind.
Well, she definitely hatesprogressive, progressives.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
But in part it kind of depends on where you're
trying to run that progressiveLike it's difficult to run.
I know she's a thousand, I getthat.
No, no, no, Wait, wait, wait,wait a second run.
I know she's a thousand, I getthat.
No, no, wait, wait, wait asecond.
So in in some cases, likerunning a progressive candidate
in a really red district, isjust tough to pull off,
generally speaking, becauseyou've got built-in
disadvantages.
(08:54):
But she's also been againstsome progressive candidates in
in blue landing states and lookI was like katie hill flipped
her seat blue yeah and then,when they pushed her out, boom
goes to my car, yeah
Speaker 5 (09:09):
I got red and henry queller.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
It was a safe, dim district and, like I said, it
was only a few hundred votesbetween him and cisneros.
Right, but them going down inthere so yeah.
So miss me with that bullshit.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Like she, I'm no, now the other the other issue is
sometimes you have a you have asubset of left leaning, super
left leaning, progressivecandidates who exist solely to
try to destroy the DemocraticParty from within.
And you know, look, I'm notapproving Nancy Pelosi in any
regard, at least not under thesecircumstances.
But you definitely do have tosafeguard your party and the
(09:48):
reason why.
Well, just look at theRepublican Party.
They didn't safeguard theirparty against demagoguery and
incels and now look whathappened they're about to
destroy the planet.
So you know, I just I doquestion Nancyosi's judgment in
a lot of cases.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
It's especially like I, I really do, like I don't
know yeah, I mean so.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I I mean I've said it here a number of times like
president biden, got to 81million votes.
He was a generational candidatebecause of the circumstances
the country was facing and hemet the moment and performed
better than any otherpresidential candidate in the
history of America.
And a lot of elected officialslooked at that and said, no, we
(10:37):
want to lose again and, you know, committed to self-sabotage in
that regard.
But we also have a clip of JonStewart and his thoughts on the
2024 election.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Here's what we know is that we don't really know
anything and that we're going tocome out of this election and
we're going to make all kind ofpronouncements about what this
country is and what this worldis, and the truth is we're not
really going to know shit andwe're going to make it seem like
this is the finality of ourcivilization and this and thing.
We're all going to have to wakeup tomorrow morning and work
(11:08):
like hell to move the world tothe place that we prefer it to
be.
And I just want to point out,just as a matter of perspective,
that the lessons that ourpundits take away from these
results that they will pronouncewith certainty will be wrong,
and we have to remember that In2008, when Barack Obama won,
(11:33):
there's no question that this isthe beginning, the first
election of the future, really,and I think we are moving
towards a post-racial America.
Yeah, that lasted a day.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
And then, of course, in 2012, obama won again and the
lesson was the GOP needs tosend a powerful signal to
Hispanic voters that the partyrespects them.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
That was the lesson they learned after that victory
and they were certain of it andsend a powerful signal to the
Hispanic community.
The GOP did.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
When Mexico sends its people, they're bringing drugs,
they're bringing crime, they'rerapists.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
Which apparently was the winning message and that
taught Democrats in 2016 what.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Maybe what the Democrats will be looking for is
somebody with some insideexperience, but who's a
generation younger.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
It's obviously going to be younger, it's going to be
from a new generation.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Need I say it?
Speaker 7 (12:37):
It's a great honor and humility, I accept this
nomination.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
And that turned out to be a winning message again,
which led to an insurrection,and the lesson from that was,
when Donald Trump leaves officeon Wednesday morning, he will
leave Washington a pariah.
Donald Trump will never beallowed to set foot in the
Capitol again.
Never Ever.
(13:05):
My point is this, but thisisn't the end.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I promise you, and we're going to stop him right
there, because immediately uponhis return to the Daily Show on
Comedy Central, the first courseof action for him was to do
what destroy joe biden's chancesof winning the 2024 election
exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Uh, yeah, that's why I'm like, yeah, so all
motherfucking day on thatbullshit yes, I mean yeah yeah,
the one thing I can tell youabout john stewart is he's
probably right.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
We'll all learn the wrong lessons from whatever
happened in the 2024 election.
He's probably absolutelycorrect about that.
But in regards to his take onthings, get that shit out of
here.
First episode, back.
What was it?
Joe Biden's old Great job guys.
Way to sabotage yourself andthen wonder why you lost.
(14:05):
I mean him, along with a numberof other individuals.
The Pod, save America guys, theBulwark, you know, medhi hassan
, number of even supposedlyleft-leaning msnbc hosts spent a
month destroying joe bidenafter the bait.
And then what did we come tofind out eventually, after
(14:26):
kamala harris destroyed trump attheir debate debates don't
matter way to overre't matter,way to overreact to something
totally mean.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
People were happy with it.
Well, people weren't happy withthe old white man, but I wonder
how he would have done.
I mean, people kept saying hewas going to lose too.
They were certain Everything isbullshit.
And I also share the part ofthe video where he screamed into
the abyss, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Where he screamed into the abyss, yeah, yeah,
where he said bleep that part.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Have you guys heard Bloody, bloody Andrew Jackson.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I have not heard that .
Speaker 2 (15:03):
It's the prequel to Trump's second campaign?
No, it's not, but it's amusical about.
It's a musical about AndrewJackson's campaign.
Uh, bloody, bloody campaign.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, Fantastic, We'll have to.
We'll have to save that fornext week.
Um, but yes, Ty, that's that'sprobably what our podcast is
going to sound like for theforeseeable future Just a bunch
of bleeps, just everythingbleeped out.
Maybe you'll get an and or thein there, like the bleepity
bleep.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You usually beep us out.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
No, I'm kidding, so it's just.
I just, I am extraordinarilyfrustrated with the punditry
here who are like how could thishave happened?
You know, how could DonaldTrump have won, even though they
spent four years normalizingall of the eight, well, eight
years normalizing all of theTrump insanity.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
It's like as soon as we find the guys who did this.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, it is the SpongeBob meme, with him in the
police uniform staring at thewanted poster with the face of
SpongeBob on it.
So yeah, these people whocontributed mightily to the
demise of the United States aretrying to figure out how it
happened.
After the fact, all you guysgot to do out there is look in a
(16:14):
fucking mirror.
It is, it's not that difficult,just you know.
Thanks, jon Stewart, foreverything you've ever done.
But in hindsight, looking back,on it.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
So, in other words, thanks for nothing.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
You cheered us off after 9-11.
John stewart was there okay.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Well, I guess in that regard I will give him the
tiniest bit of praise for sayingjust attempting to console the
nation from me after horrificdisaster, um, but in terms of
what this election means andhaving a trump, trump or trump
(16:59):
administration the second timearound, uh well, we've got a
clip from donald trump himselfon plans once he's first in
office once in.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
Here's my plan to dismantle the deep state and
reclaim our democracy fromWashington corruption Once and
for all, and corruption it is.
First, I will immediatelyreissue my 2020 executive order
restoring the president'sauthority to remove rogue
bureaucrats, and I will wieldthat power very aggressively.
(17:32):
Second, we will clean out allof the corrupt actors in our
national security andintelligence apparatus, and
there are plenty of them.
The departments and agenciesthat have been weaponized will
be completely overhauled so thatfaceless bureaucrats will never
again be able to target andpersecute conservatives,
(17:53):
christians or the left'spolitical enemies, which they're
doing now at a level thatnobody can believe even possible
.
Third, we will totally reformFISA courts, which are so
corrupt that the judgesseemingly do not care when they
are lied to in warrantapplications.
So many judges have seen somany applications that they know
(18:15):
were wrong, or at least theymust have known.
They do nothing about it.
They're lied to.
Fourth, to expose the hoaxes andabuses of power that have been
tearing our country apart, wewill establish a Truth and
Reconciliation Commission todeclassify and publish all
documents on deep state spying,censorship and corruption and
(18:38):
there are plenty of them.
Fifth, we will launch a majorcrackdown on government leakers
who collude with the fake newsto deliberately weave false
narratives and to subvert ourgovernment and our democracy.
When possible, we will presscriminal charges.
Sixth, we will make everyinspector general's office
(19:00):
independent and physicallyseparated from the departments
they oversee, so they do notbecome the protectors of the
deep state.
Seventh, I will ask Congress toestablish an independent
auditing system to continuallymonitor our intelligence
agencies to ensure they are notspying on our citizens or
(19:22):
running disinformation campaignsagainst the American people, or
that they are not spying onsomeone's campaign like they
spied on my campaign.
Eighth, we will continue theeffort launched by the Trump
administration to move parts ofthe sprawling federal
bureaucracy to new locationsoutside the Washington swamp.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
All right, so long story short.
It's going to be really fuckingbad guys.
Now I know a lot of peoplelistening to this, probably.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Was that music behind his speech?
That eerie music?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yes, it was extraordinarily disheartening
hearing the music play behind it, or insanity.
So I'm sure a lot of youlistening are a lot more
informed than, like that, themedian voter on Trump's plans.
But if you're notextraordinarily familiar, what
you were hearing was a veryaccurate description of you
guessed it Project 2025,.
If you're not extraordinarilyfamiliar, what you were hearing
(20:15):
was a very accurate descriptionof you guessed it project 2025.
If you've read that and I knowmillions of people haven't read
that, because there wasapparently a spike in google
searches on project 2025immediately after the election,
which indicates that millions ofamericans have no idea what the
fuck they just voted for Yep.
So he's going to first of all,hollow out the federal
(20:35):
government.
A bunch of people are about toget fired, about to lose their
jobs, people who just work inthese agencies where they have a
bit of expertise making surethat the government functions
and the country functions asit's supposed to.
The Department of Educationthat thing's probably gone.
So you know, good luck makingsure schools all across the
(20:58):
country educate your kids.
You want to get a student loan?
You want to go to college?
That's going to beextraordinarily difficult.
Now we're going to have a bunchof red states diverting funds
from public schools to privateschools, private institutions.
So your children are going tobe less educated and your
teachers are going to beunderfunded.
(21:20):
Oh, speaking of which, they'reprobably going to.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Scared.
The teachers are going to bescared to teach anything.
Because he's threatening towithhold funding from schools
who teach lies against him.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, that's, that's something.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
I heard previously on like a Fox interview.
Which.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
I am assuming is the truth.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
That's entirely plausible.
So you don't even know whatkind of education your kids are
going to be getting, becauseteachers are probably just going
to teach absolutely nothing.
Prageru Right.
Yeah, we're going to get thePragerU education.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Trump University, prageru, making comebacks.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yeah, so much for teachers getting raises.
That's going out of the window.
It's going to be all bad.
Oh, it's so much for schoolslike ensuring that you know if
you have a disabled student thatthey'll be able to access the
school in any form fashionwhatsoever.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
And they just also said he's going to try to
imprison any sources forjournalists.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, look, there's a whole list of things, but I was
just speaking specificallyabout the Department of
Education there.
So the intelligence agencieshe's going to hollow those out
and replace all of those peoplewith Trump loyalists.
Agencies are going to be usedto now aid our allies or aid our
enemies and disrupt the effortsof our allies, including likely
(22:37):
spying on American citizens.
So good luck with that.
The Department of Justice thatthing is going to no longer
exist.
So everyone that's hoping thatif Trump does something
outrageous and breaks the law,there'll be be another special
counsel investigation, likethere was in 2017.
That's no longer a possibility.
The FBI so if you're aware ofthose text messages that were
(23:01):
being sent out in mass tonumerous people across the
United States suggesting thatthey've been drafted to be sent
to a Trump plantation as slaves,the FBI is investigating that
activity.
Those investigations are goingto cease to exist.
The FBI is going to become anapparatus designed solely to
(23:22):
protect Trump allies andprosecute his enemies.
So so much for that.
Of course, got the armed forces.
The military will be under hisdirect control.
He's going to get rid of all ofthe generals, as he's
previously said before.
Hopefully, he won't executethem in ways that he alluded to
when he was out of office.
(23:43):
But you know, if he does sorryguys should have done more to
stop him on January 6th.
That was your fault and, of ofcourse, they are currently
having conversations about whatto do.
Should trump uh issue illegalorders asking them to attack
united states citizens?
And there were.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
There was a conversation, I believe, on cnn,
about that very matter well,I'm a little concerned, honestly
, if the bureaucracy, whetherit's in the Pentagon or any
other agency, is already havingdiscussions about how to
countermand the commander inchief.
I mean, let's remember how thisworks.
He got elected president, he'sthe commander in chief, he gives
the orders, they follow them,and so I don't like the idea
(24:25):
candidly Wolf, of non-electedgovernment people at any level
having meetings with each otherabout how to thwart the duly
elected president of the UnitedStates.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Now the military absolutely has to have these
conversations because, as youmight be well aware, there are
previous instances of Trumpordering the military to shoot
processors in 2020.
So, obviously, he's issuedillegal orders before he will do
so again, and it's only, it'san only reasonable conclusion to
draw that the military shouldbe preparing for any kind of
(25:00):
instances where Trump might tryto illegally abuse his power as
commander in chief in order themilitary to do things that they
should not be doing.
Of course, sadly, trump's notgoing to be held accountable in
any way whatsoever because, asyou heard, basically anyone in
these federal agencies if theyattempt to blow the whistle on
(25:23):
such activities, he would usethe powers of the federal
government against them,including prosecutions.
So we're likely not going tohear about bad things in the
works until they actually happenand we see them play out in
public.
Sadly, but this is what amajority of Americans voted for.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Unless he keeps saying it out loud, like he
always does and always has,that's also true.
Yes, he does make very publicproclamations about how much he
probably had to practice thatspeech and how much they had to
like amp him up on amphetamines.
I mean to get him to deliver it.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I'm pretty sure they.
They edited it in chunks and ofcourse he had the teleprompter
there.
As you could see, he wasclearly struggling to read
everything off.
But I, yeah, I mean I see,there's just there's.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
The only confidence we have is in his incompetence
and their incompetence.
That's a problem with cronyismhe is getting.
He got rid of everyone who wasworth anything intellectually
left his campaign already andhe's just getting a bunch of
fucking sycophants andsycophants, whatever yeah,
whatever.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Yeah, psych offense is good too.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I'll take that, I'll accept that we'll put that on
the record.
Psych offense as well, uh, but,and it's, and it's going to be
worse than that, because he'snot really the one making these
personnel decisions.
Um, those decisions have beenoutsourced to people in his
campaign, specifically, you knowwell, elon musk but what
(26:51):
happens when those peoplequestion him?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
What happens when Elon Musk pisses him off?
Do you think he still needsElon Musk?
Elon Musk got him elected.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I'm extraordinarily certain at this point that they
are bound at the hip to eachother for a couple of reasons,
because Elon Musk in alllikelihood committed numerous
felonies in order to get trumpelected, so he needs trump in
office or at the very least,needs a republican in office to
protect him yeah, but why doestrump still need musk now that
(27:21):
he's been elected?
Uh, because I'm also justassuming that elon musk is aware
of numerous criminalconspiracies that Trump's
engaged in.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
But nobody gives a shit anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Well, this is the thing, right.
So the reason I'm assuming, thereason why a lot of Republicans
didn't turn on Trump afterJanuary 6th is because of their
own involvement.
Right, Like, it's one of thoseif you go down, we all go down
together type of situations.
(27:54):
They're holding a gun at eachother's head, not not literally
speaking, but yeah, and you know, elon Musk is going to be
making a lot of decisions aboutforeign policy and all of the
positions in the federalgovernment that affect the
financial state of the UnitedStates.
I mean just, it's going to be,it's going to be.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I can only hope they leave him in charge of gutting
and gutting the agencies andstaffing them just as well as he
staffed Twitter.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
And then you can see if their evil plans are carried
out with the same effectivenessas Twitter continued to work.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, fingers crossed .
Hopefully Elon Musk will beresponsible for staffing these
positions as well as he staffedhis America PAC.
That was apparently goingaround and not even knocking on
doors and just filling out theforms afterwards.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
He was just kidnapping them.
Yes, those people were beingtrafficked in U-Hauls.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
That was just the Black people Carol.
So I read that wasn't everyone,that was just the Black workers.
He was trafficking them acrossstate lines in vans with no
seats.
It was absolutely wild to seethat play out and absolutely
nothing be done about that.
But now that trump's won theelection unless something
drastic happens whererepublicans end up not in
(29:13):
control of the white housethat's going to go
uninvestigated and likely haveno ramifications for elon musk
whatsoever, unless some of thesestates do investigations and
bring charges.
But you know, fingers crossed,you can hope for that.
I'm not entirely certain thatthat's likely, but it is a
possibility.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Be careful.
I don't want them coming inlike to kidnap and rape us you,
because I know that yourbutthole is delicate.
But Hi yes, what's up?
No, somebody had just knockedon and sounded like somebody
just knocked on the door andwe're like whoa, we already got
(29:57):
our orders.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Maybe it was one of those.
Maybe it was one of thosemythical illegal immigrants In
Mexico.
Yeah, they were probablyAmerican.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Oh, that's true.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
They're fleeing the country, so that is a good point
, right.
But speaking of potentialconsequences of second Trump
administration, I mean thatconversation is going to be
ongoing indefinitely.
I know a lot of people outthere over the course of the
past year were concerned withthe war that Israel was waging
against Hamas and what it meansfor Palestinians.
(30:34):
Well, we have something fromTrump on that.
Speaker 7 (30:41):
President, we will deport the foreign jihad
sympathizers and we will deportthem very quickly.
And Hamas supporters will begone.
We will remove the jihadistsympathizers and Jew haters.
We're going to remove the Jewhaters who do nothing to help
our country.
(31:01):
They only want to destroy ourcountry and we will never let
the horrors of October 7th berepeated here on Americans.
We will not let that happen.
Unlike liberal Kamala, I willsupport Israel's right to win
its war on terror.
You have to support that Got towin, got to finish it all.
And instead of pandering to thejihad sympathizers and America
(31:26):
hating radicals, we will deportthem.
We will deport them veryquickly.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, so for everyone who was calling.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
He will sign for the win again.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
For everyone who was calling President Biden genocide
Joe, there you go, you got thecandidate that you wanted in the
White.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
House.
Thank you, Jill Stein, for allof your hard work.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Jill Stein didn't get millions.
I mean that she did.
She break the.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
She got enough.
She got about point.
Five percent of the vote.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
But, was there any where there are enough states
that if she didn't exist andHarris had gotten all of what I
did?
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I looked at.
I don't know if it was Arizonaor Nevada, but the number of
votes that she got and her andRFK Jr was like almost double
what Harris.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah, if you combine the third party vote in a couple
of the swing states, it wouldbe enough, yeah, to account for
the margin between Harris andTrump.
So kudos to you guys in thatregard.
You know Trump has said sincewinning the election that he
would like Benjamin Netanyahu tofinish the war before he even
takes office, and in that regardhe means wipe out Gaza.
(32:36):
It's going to become a parkinglot and after that I'm assuming
Jared Kushner will be buildingbeachfront property.
And so much for the West Bankthat's going to get annexed,
sayonara.
It's unfortunate, but you knowthis is what a majority of
American citizens voted for.
If you're like super freePalestine out there, we try to
tell you that like well, yes, we, we definitely care about the
(33:01):
fate of the people in Palestine.
It wasn't an issue that anumber of Americans were super
concerned with and in alllikelihood, I'm sure a majority
of white Americans are like hell, let's just nuke Gaza.
I know it sucks to hear that.
We were on your side and wetried to get you the candidate
(33:22):
that would be most beneficial tothe Palestinian cause.
But unfortunately, here you are.
You're stuck with Trump and theconsequences are going to.
I mean, it's going to be whatit is.
And also, I would just like topoint out that over the past six
months or so, I've been seeingnonstop watermelon accounts just
go viral day after day onTwitter.
(33:43):
Non-stop watermelon accountsjust go viral day after day on
Twitter, just flooding my feedregularly in ways that was kind
of unusual.
And now, since Trump's won theelection, absolute silence from
those guys.
So if you've got a watermelonin your account, that is no
shade at you.
You're an actual, real personand I believe that you support a
cause.
That is just and reasonable.
(34:03):
But a lot of your alliesdisappeared and you probably got
a wonder about that, what thatactually means, that you've been
investing your time and energyin, in, in what your movement
was actually intended to do overthe course of an election year.
Just some food for thoughtthere.
I'm not pointing any fingersper se, just
