Speaker 1 (00:20):
Hello, and welcome to a brand new episode of Look Forward.
I'm your host, Jay. I'm here with my co host
and fellow war correspondent Brad. How are you.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, it's not it's not often that we get to
basically cover the entire arc of a war in the
time that since we last recorded a podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah, this is the Donald Trump's seven days war. That
this will be in the history books.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I don't I don't think calling it a seven days
war is giving him too much credit. This should be
known as the weekend war essentially.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, just weekend at Trump's like just just fucking get
it done. So Yeah, but I would say I would
say it may not be over just yet. There there
are definitely there are some strategic things that let me
know that like people weren't playing for real, you know
what I mean, Like and we'll talk about uh so.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
And and that and that is the thing unfortunately in
in the in the fucking world and presidency in which
we live in. Uh the real answer to the question
of what do you think will happen next? Is who
the fuck knowes? Like literally literally literally anything could happen.
I know that Donald Trump thinks that that's somehow a
an advantage being you know, unpredictable in that in that way,
(01:41):
I don't think the rest of the world would agree
with that sentiment, but uh, you know, yeah, this is
where we are.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, hello a week. Hello a week. So we start out, uh,
as you do bombings, right, because of.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Course what we well we talked, so we talked last week.
So so Israel, because I guess they're not getting enough
war at home, wanted to wanted to stretch it out
a little bit and and basically strike first in Iran,
who they accused of, you know, developing a nuclear weapon
which was gonna threaten them in the region. So we
talked last week about uh, the Israeli strikes uh into
(02:24):
Tehran in other areas. I can't remember if the retaliation
had happened by the time that we that.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It was like it was like the day, the next
day or like two days later. And then there was
videos of them just like nailing ship in Israel, which
was crazy, right.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And in like Tel Aviv like like like yeah, the
two major cities in Israel. So like it was a
pretty fucking serious, serious.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Thing, like how could they do this to us? Well,
how could you have done what you did. That was
a bad idea. Also, some of those videos of like, hey,
well what is that over there? Oh, that's a hypersonic
missile boom, Like oh ship, Like it's terrifying. I'm very
happy like not living that.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah I could. I could not imagine what it would
be like hearing like a fucking air raid, sirn you
know in the place that I live. That would be nuts.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, or seeing the ship like going on in the
air and like there's that.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Even even even the stuff that got intercepted by like
defenses still like yeah, like because like, yeah, the defense
system is basically like shooting another missile at the missile
that's what's another air and destroying both of them.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I mean, that's what the iron Dome is, right, Like
there's no real dome. Is just like an advanced system
that just shoots missiles into.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
The Oh there's oh there's not somebody. Somebody might want
to tell the president that, yes, I don't, so he should.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Be locked in more of a biodome as far as
I'm for the safety of all of us. But yeah,
so Iran obviously retaliates. That's we talked about this actually
a little bit. Now now I'm thinking about it, I think,
actually it did happen before we left last week. So
they retaliate, and it's like the most obvious thing in
the world. Fucking of course they did, right. Trump comes
(04:14):
out and he's like, hey, man, I'm giving it two weeks.
I'm gonna think about it for two weeks. That was
a fucking lie. Everything. Oh the the mashup of him
pushing everything to two weeks is just hilarious. That's made
it online a number of times. And so within like
(04:34):
a couple of days, he's like, oh, yeah, by the way, guys,
we totally just bombed it out of Iran. It's like, sorry,
what happened to two weeks?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So he bombs the He bombs these nuclear sites in
Iran and tweets out, now is the time for peace,
which is like, bitch.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
But like literally, after bobbing the shit out of some
of their like strategic military areas, he's like, well, now
that I hit you in the face, we should we
should break bread and come together. Like I've a really
a really fun graph that I came across by way
of the Financial Times. So here here's a fun fact.
(05:25):
So I ran so obviously to refine uranium. You need
to do that through installing and using like centrifuges basically. So,
so it's all it's always been kind of like known that,
like you kind of track your country as the number
of centrifugees they have installed in the country to kind
of you know, track how you know, what they're doing
with with nuclear material essentially. Right, So from twenty eleven
(05:49):
to January of twenty sixteen, I ran ramped up from
having like, you know, a couple of dozens centrifuges to
having like a thousand in the country. Significant, right, pretty significant.
January twenty sixteen, something happens and they go from having
about one thousand centerfuges to like ten basically that are running.
(06:17):
And it stays that way until about possibly Yeah, what
I mean, let's ignore that, you know, it's that have important. Yeah,
what happens is not important. We'll go from there. So
that that remained that way until about I don't know,
late twenty nineteen, mid twenty twenty give or take, where
(06:40):
they started ramping centrifuges back up again to the point
now they have just under fifteen thousand centrifuges spun up
with another five thousand planned basically.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
So there's this like weird there's like this super weird thing. Right,
Obama really really fucked up by getting the Iranians to
sign into this deal that kept them right from doing this,
Like what an asshole? Like an asshole?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
What a piece of shit?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
What a piece of shit? Why would he do that?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
That's a week a weak in effective deal that you know,
had literal monitors going into the country to see what
they were doing and to see that like, oh, they're
not actually doing anything with you know, nuclear capabilities to
the extent that they could be developing a nuclear weapon.
Because for those that also don't know, in order to
(07:43):
be able to develop a nuclear weapon, not only do
you have to be able to enrich uranium up to
like nine enrichment levels, but you also have to be
able to develop a warhead that can with stand you know,
that that can like not explode basically as it's every
entering Earth's atmosphere, which also incredibly difficult to do from
(08:05):
a from a technology.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Or by the way, or not explode going off the
launch pad.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Okay, correct, yes, which would be which would be very bad.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah, we're gonna nuke those guys. Oh, we've nuked ourselves.
This is a just check out North Korea for reference
to any of that. Okay, and probably Russia if they
actually try to launch a nuke, if we're being honest.
So Obama and his team gets the JCPOA done, right,
which is the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which is
(08:35):
the Iran deal that gets torn up by Trump when
he comes in the first time I posted that, in
a conversation, someone said, well, why and Biden just put
it back. Yes, it's so easy. It's so easy to.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Just unfortunately design a treaty of it takes two tango,
as they say, and Iran was not feeling particularly you
know forthcoming to after Trump fucked them the first time.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
We're right, like why would they write? And so obviously
Biden could not get it done even though he tried,
he couldn't. He couldn't get it on to the table.
And the entire dynamics on the ground had changed, right,
So like you tore it up and then it's like,
all right, well, let's go back to that other deal.
Like no, there a lot has changed since then, right, yeah,
(09:23):
which is why you want to lock in those deals,
keep them right, because by the way the JCPOA is
not like an indefinite thing, right it was. It's over
the course of like ten years or something like that,
and then they renegotiate after ten years, right, like, hey,
we've been doing all the milestones. Cool, we can keep it,
or you know, we we give you a little bit
of extra space. Whatever. But it wasn't this thing of like,
(09:44):
this is what it is, and it's fine. Loss, that's
not that's right.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
For what it's worth for people that are big advocates
of like change agents coming into like serious positions of government.
This is a prime example of why it's bad actually,
especially from a foreign policy standpoint, to wildly swing in
(10:08):
crazy directions when someone else steps into office. It's why typically,
you know, before Trump, America has kept either foreign policy
relatively consistent across administrations regardless of party, or have slowly,
like incrementally moved in directions away from certain positions instead
(10:30):
of just like again, tearing up a jointly negotiated agreement
that had been signed two and a half years prior, right,
just because it's weak.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Right, and that that doesn't happen for a number of reasons.
But the main reason is all the other presidents, even
if they disagree with the guy prior to them. They
all have the country's best interests at you know, in mind.
So it's like, Okay, I may not agree with the
JCPOA as it stands. Maybe I try to, like, hey,
(11:00):
can we add this into the JCPOA. We can we
renegotiate these asps.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, you negotiate aspects of it. You go back to
them and be like, hey, like I don't agree with this,
you know, we think you should do this, and blah blah.
Instead he's just like, hey, we're gonna rip it up
and start from scratch. And ironically, the agreement that Trump
claimed that the trumpsician should claim they were negotiating with
Iran before all this shit fucking kicked off is actually
(11:26):
weaker than the JCPOA was that was signed.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
No, that's absolutely correct. And so I had the list.
I don't have it any more unfortunately, but like I
had what was publicly available about Trump's plan versus the JCPOA, right, like,
what are the differences? And basically Trump's plan as it's
been laid out publicly, what we know, like there has
(11:51):
not been a definitive like here is our version of
the JCPOA, which is not particularly surprising because they don't
have anything. It was basically you're not allowed to enrich anything.
You're not allowed like it was just it was the
difference between the JCPOA and Trump's plan as we know.
(12:11):
It was basically you're not allowed to do anything, and
the JCPOA is like, Okay, we're both adults here and
we don't want you to have a nuke, but we're
not going to try to stop you from like developing
nuclear power if that's what you want. Because that's always
the argument of like we're not trying to enrich to
bomb people. We're trying to enrich uranium so that we
(12:32):
can do this nuclear power. Whether they're being honest or not,
we can't speculate that.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I mean, but that's why you have people monitoring.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Exactly, going in and checking stuff, right, and so yeah,
like if you read the information in the JCPOA, it
is far more reasonable. It's like, okay, well you can
you can enrich to like thirty percent, which will give
you like you could do like nuclear power and stuff
like that. And then you have you know, monitoring and
all these other things that were all involved. And the
(13:00):
Trump one's like, we get unfettered access to all of
your facilities fucking forever, and you can't do anything. And
if you're found to be doing anything, like you're gonna
pay these massive, you know, fucking you know penalties for it.
And also the shit it's like, well, why would I
sign on to that? Like what is the reason? And
if we're being honest, the real reason is they were
(13:22):
never planning for you to sign on anything, right. They
tore it up because they want to have this boogeyman
there so that Israel can attack you. They can attack
you if they want to, and they want they want
the fight because Trump. I am reminded of that moment
that really I think it's the moment I literally started
(13:44):
to hate Van Jones. Actually it is like, but there
have been there have been so many moments and he
did one again this week that really pissed me off.
But the moment I really realized Van Jones is a
real piece of shit was when Trump bombs and I
want to say it's like Sulamani or something like that,
when he killed him. He was like, well, now Trump
(14:06):
is really the president, Like this is really like I
was like, indiscriminate bombing of other white people in other countries,
like without congressional approval or you know, acts of war
and potentially sparking off a thing that makes him the president,
Like the fuck are you talking about? What kind of
psycho shit is that? And this is sort of the
same thing. In order to feel like a real big boy,
(14:28):
he feels like he's got to play with his missiles,
right like that that's what it is. And so this
nuclear this striking on these nuclear facilities, it seems like
a huge deal, right, Like that's a president right there.
But they were worned ahead of time. Iran was warned
ahead of time, and they move shit out of the way,
just like.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
They evacuated personnel. Nobody died. Despite the fact that they
dropped like six massive bombs onto these three facilities. We
don't even know if they got any like enrichment material
or like raw material in these strikes. It's not clear
in any way, shape or form, just the regardless of
(15:09):
what the government says, because they're gonna obviously say whatever
makes them makes them look good. But Iran doesn't seem
to be too terribly plussed by it, given their reaction
which we saw today.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah, which was Taran was like, oh, we're what are
we doing? So we're gonna send We're gonna send some
bombs over to to Qatar Uh to a military US
military base there, which I believe is the same military
base that they hit before. And Trump said, oh, the
US soldiers just had headaches, right, and they had like
actual show like that. I'm pretty sure it was the
(15:44):
same military base, which is that should tell you something
that Iran like their first move is like, remember that
base we hit the last time, Let's do it again, right.
But they were also warned, the US was warned that
these were coming.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
This is a game, I mean, and they intercepted them too.
By the way, there was no real like if Basically
it was described as like a face saving attack for Iran,
but one that they knew would not do any have
any actual repercussions for them, essentially, So it's just they
could say, hey, look we retaliated against the US. They
could say face in front of their citizens, and you know,
(16:20):
Trump can look strong and it's like all right, now
we're you know, doing the ceasefire. Here's here's the thing
that we blew right past it, and so do the
rest of the media. So you can hardly blame us
something that I did not see nearly enough of. I
wonder if I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I'm wondering if it's a story I have pulled up
because I was gonna talk about it, go for it.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I mean, it could be I haven't. I didn't see
enough of it over the weekend. We're certainly not going
to see enough of it now now that the quote
unquote seafire is happening, and I'm certainly not seeing enough
of it from Democrats specifically. And that is that Trump
striking Iran in the first place is illegal, yeah, and
(17:08):
and impeachment worthy offense. So for those that don't realize,
the president is only allowed to unilaterally, you know, like
strike another country if the US is in imminent danger
of being attacked. Now, the White House is arguing that
(17:30):
we were an imminent danger, that Iran was like days
away from being able to get right a nuclear weapon,
which wouldn't be able to reach US anyway. But let's
not let facts get in the way of a good story.
So that's their justification. Of course, Republicans are more than
(17:50):
happy to go along with it, and weirdly enough, Democrats
kind of are too, because The response that I saw
from a lot of Democrats wasn't oh I legally ordered
the strike that he had no authorization of Congress to do, right,
but just oh, he should have come to Congress first
(18:10):
if he wanted authorization to strike. Ran those two. The
tone that the reaction is to is very different because
they're like Democrats are almost saying like, hey, he needs
to come in front of Congress to validate this right
when you should be saying, motherfucker, we're gonna impeach you
for for violating the constitution.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Look, that shouldn't even have been It shouldn't have been
a question. Those papers should the articles of impeachment should
have been submitted today a hundred percent by multiple Democrats,
Like really, show show your show your balls here. I'm
kind of disappointed that they haven't. I saw AOC came out.
It was like, no, this is the grounds for impeachment,
all right, AOC, I agree with you. Yeah, she was
(18:54):
the only one get moving on this. Then the movie,
Look is it gonna is it gonna make? Are you
going to get the votes you need for No? But
you should he should bring you should bring articles of impatiment.
I mean, look, this is so I did. I was
doing some research in this and it was like, as
I'm reading it, I realized how pissed off it was
(19:15):
making me. So obviously the war powers are in the
constitution period. Okay, there is no argument.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
One, right, yeah, before you even get to the part
where the president.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Is right, so like, there is no argument about oh
is it is it? Okay that you know the president
can like unilaterally do just no, no, no, that's not
a thing. It's not a thing. Congress is the one
who says, hey, we can go to war. Here's the
fucking money for go do your thing. When they authorize that,
(19:53):
that is when the president goes cool, thanks, I'm going
for it, right, I am in charge of this ship.
Right and look if you if you don't believe me,
you can hear it from the horse's mouth the family fathers.
Article one, Section eight Powers of Congress. The Congress shall
have the power to declare war, grant letters of marquee
and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and
(20:17):
water to raise and support armies, but no appropriation of
money to that use shall be long for a longer
term than two years. Right then, Article two, Section two
Powers of the President. The President shall be the commander
in chief of the Army and Navy of the United
States and the militia of the several States ironic when
(20:41):
called to actual service of the United States. So basically, once,
like I said, once the war is authorized, then the
president has the right to be like, all right, this
is what we're doing. Then you get in charge. You
fucking tell them what to do, right, don't work the
other way. Now, Tim Kane came out, was like, hey,
we're getting a war powers vote, you know, a war
(21:04):
Powers resolution vote going. That was part of the I
think that was part of Trump's like two weeks thing,
like he was trying to like outweit wait then or
what have you? And then he was like, you know,
just send a bunkerbusters. Who give shit? And so he did.
But I'm like, why do you need a war Powers
resolution if this is very obvious in plain text in
(21:26):
the Constitution. And then I realized that there was a
War Powers Act in nineteen seventy three, and I'm like why.
And it's because basically with Vietnam, they just they just
they just did it without any congressional approval, right, Like
they just kept reauthorizing and was like, oh, yeah, no,
(21:46):
it's fine.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
So, frank like, if you are Trump and you have
control of both Houses of Congress and all the Republicans
except for Thomas Massey apparently are on board for your
fucking for your fucking war or your strike and Iran, yeah,
why wouldn't you just do it and be like, all right,
fuck you. You know you come after me because because
(22:09):
you know they're not going to So why wouldn't you?
I don't. I don't, Frankly, I don't blame him at
all for for for for what he did, because he
is only playing the cards that he has been dealt
by this absent in Congress. Uh. The best the best
line that I saw about this in the wake of
the strike on Saturday night came on Blue Sky where
it said it's a good thing that Congress wasn't alive
(22:31):
to see this.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Right, can you imagine? And so if you're wondering under
what authority, by the way, is Trump doing this?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Right this?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Basically it's under the authorization for military force, right two
thousand and one, two thousand and two, those are those
are the.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Big they're still using that they use that as justification
or you series I thought he was using like the
imminent threat justification.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Well he is, he is, like in the public, but
basically on paper, this is what he's using, right, cool.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And so so so once again this thing that Democrats
probably should have knipp in the bud during Obama and
then again during the Biden administration, we have not. We're
still letting linger out there.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Huh yeah, So yeah, what happened. You know, obviously in
two thousand and two thousand and one, that's not eleven, right, Like, yeah,
of course that was gonna happen, Like you shouldn't have
done it. But of course, you know, even thinking like
maybe we should question it, it'd be like burn that
person at the steak, get the fuck out of here.
(23:39):
You don't love America if you don't vote for this.
The terrorists truly have won.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Famously, Barbara Lee was like the only fucking person to
ut against a few.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
So that's it.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
She was it.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Okay, umm, shout out to her. And so all of
that happens, and so that's why now they're looking at
this new war powers a chance. Stop yelling at your
wife brand. But that's that's why he's that's why Tim Kaine,
(24:11):
uh and others are trying, and he's spearheading us to
get another war powers uh resolution. My thing is, I
don't know that it does anything because if they can
ignore the Constitution, the fuck the fuck do they care
about Tim Kaine's the war Powers resolution. They don't give
a show.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, I mean, like again, it's it's been. It's been
just fucking incredible to see just how fast we've just
blown past the Constitution having any meaning in just five
months time. And again not just the executive branch either.
We don't have the scout of story on on the
docket today because it came out shortly before the show.
But the Supreme Court also not a big fan of
(24:51):
upholding the constitution either anymore. It seems under the robbers court.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, really really sh in the bed over there? So cool.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
But yes, but but again, like the point is Trump
doing this was constitutionally illegal. I saw almost nobody, no
news network, very few like serious like mainstream commenters talk
about that point that it was illegal. I saw a
little bit of questioning on like some of the Sunday shows,
(25:24):
like asking one question of like jd Vance, like hey,
like this is kind of legal, and basically his responses
I don't think you'd find any serious legal scholar who
would entertain that, like, I disagree with you there. I
think a lot of constitutional scholars would be like, no, actually,
this is kind of fucked up in a blatant violation
of his constitutional powers. But it just kind of just
(25:45):
goes to show how far gone we are. And especially
when it comes to shit like this, there is nothing
more the fucking media. And I'm not just talking about Fox.
I'm talking about every fucking mainstream media. There's nothing more.
They love talking about that big fucking bombs being dropped
by the US, by the US of A. They fucking
(26:06):
love that ship.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
They do, they do.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Especially especially if it's against brown people.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh, I mean we were dropping bombs on white people anytimes?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
You know, I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
We have not done that, not often enough, but not
really since the thirties, if we're being honest, we're the
forties or the forties, right. Look, we're overdue Sweden. We're
not fucking around like we're coming for you. But you know,
(26:40):
the the one thing that's like to go back to
a person, I fucking loath Van Jones. He came out
this week. I fucking don't like that guy. He's a
pretty easy person not to like. To be honest, Van
Jones came out and was like progressives and liberals need
to embrace this. They need to embrace like he literally
(27:04):
said that, Like I'm.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
My reaction, Yeah, my reactions to that statement, not you
saying that, So.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Like, what the fuck are you talking about? We need
to embrace this. You know, Iran is a terrible is
a terrible regime and allso stuff. Bitch, nobody's arguing that
Iran is the fucking like run by the greatest people
on earth. That's not the argument. The argument is that
you can't just go bomb people. One, you can't bomb
people into loving you. That doesn't work, Okay, they're not
(27:33):
gonna greet you as fucking liberators. Two, you can't just
bomb people just because they've been saying that Iran is
on the cusp of a nuclear weapon. They're weeks away.
They've been saying this shit since like twenty fifteen, oh
oh earlier.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
He've been saying it since twenty fifteen. Benjamin Netnahu has
been saying it since the mid nineties, like ever since
he's been in power. Iran has been like a heart
beat away from a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Right, So this idea that we needed we had to
bomb them is bullshit. Like they were not an imminent threat.
They were not weeks away or minutes away. That's that's bullshit.
Three years away, four years away, right, Yeah, Now they
got a lot more centrifugeons going, aluminum tubes and ship
(28:24):
they got a lot more of that going because what
you did, what Donald Trump did. So this idea of like,
how did this happen? Bitch, here's a mirror, look at
your face.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Literally it's it's it's the fucking hot dog being.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
The guy who's who did this. So I'm I am
amazed at sort of the inability to be sort of
self effacing, but also at the same time like, of
course why would they be so yeah, this this uh
boom and bust war thing we're doing, like hey, we
(29:00):
got one for the weekend and then it is over.
Like it's very silly and extremely dangerous. But I will say,
here's the here's the hardball shit that that came out
that I don't think people are paying attention to. It
wasn't the bombs. That wasn't that wasn't the problem. We're
gonna shut down the straight of horror moves. That was
the fucking move right. That was that we're not fucking
(29:23):
around type of shit, because if you don't know, the
strait of her moves is where massive oil tankers move oil.
You know it is. It is where the vast majority
of like the Middle East and oil is coming through. Now,
keep in mind, this is kind of an interesting thing.
Two tanker ships collided in the straight of horror moves
(29:43):
the other day. That did not make big enough news.
But when people were like, oh, why is Trump leaving
the G seven, that's why he was leaving the G
seven in my opinion, because that's a big fucking deal.
There was speculation that perhaps they didn't just they you know,
were attacked or something like that. If they even had
(30:04):
the inkling that Iran had done that, that's enough of
a reason to be like, oh shit, we gotta we
gotta do something. Some people think that that may be
the reason that they actually he went ahead and started
dropping bombs and not this like eminent threat on nuclear weapons.
Keep in mind Trump's own d and I was like,
they don't have nuclear weapons, they're not close to having
(30:24):
a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Well, well, so she said that, she said that a
reporter asked him about that on Air Force one about
her comments. His response that, literally, verbatim, I don't care
what she said. This is his director of National Intelligence
that he's talking about. And then the next day she
was out in front of the cameras blaming the media
for somehow like saying, oh, like you're you're taking my
(30:49):
words out of contacts instid or the other thing and
what the president says, right and all this other stuff.
So it's really cool that Donald Trump is able to
dictate his own intelligence and hear what he wants to
hear from the people that are supposed to be telling him,
uh what the actual skinny is on a lot of
these stories.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
No, it's it's definitely more about uh, just having your opinions, yo,
set back to you just in in a in a
cool new hippy like any like any good CEO, looking
looking for affirmation, not for not for information. So yeah, yeah,
sadly all right, So how does this affect the people
(31:31):
that we care the least about. MAGA, The knuckle draggers
are out brad, They're they got their their their orbital
shelves are larger than normal. They're fucking screaming and throwing
it at each other. I'm enjoying it. I'm enjoying watching.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Us as we should because it's very funny. Obviously, you
know this brings the uh lord of the rings me
to mine a little bit. Like never thought i'd be
fighting alongside Marjorie, right but uh and then she says
what about a friend, and be like, no, fuck you, you
(32:12):
are not my friend. Yeah, you're You're just You're just
a useful idiot in this uh, in this particular example.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Absolutely we are not cool. Fuck off, Marjorie. But Marjorie
Tayler Green accuses Trump of bait and switch over Iran strikes.
The noted uh audible cave woman says, it feels like
a complete bait and switch to plete to please the
(32:39):
neo cons warmongers, military industrial complex contracts, and neo kon
TV personalities that MAGA hates and who were never trumpers. Uh.
She also defended herself, saying, contrary to brainwash, Democrat boomers
think and protest about Trump is not a king, MAGA
is not a cult, and I can and do have
(33:01):
my own opinions. We'll see about that one one. You're wrong, Yeah,
you're wrong, about the Trump is not a king, he
thinks he is. Maga is not a cult, it is,
and uh, you do. You can have your own opinions.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I would say, congratulations, you've you have found in five
years the singular issue that you were willing to break
ranks with him on.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah you giant, one giant. Yeah, yeah, definitely not a cult.
I agree with everything this person has ever said, ever
about everything. Okay, that's weird, Okay, like strange, super strange
thing to do. Look, there's part of me, there's there's
part of me that can respect being anti war and
(33:53):
really sticking to those guns. But I don't believe them.
And I think the reason why they are sticking to
their guns, at least for now, I don't think they
always will, but at least for now, I can't help
but to think that it's because of anti Semitism. I really,
I'm I'm sorry, I'm not buying it. I think they
(34:15):
love to be like, we're not letting God damn Joes
run America like I feel like, because they say it
a lot, They're like, we're not taking orders from Israel.
You know what I'm saying, You guys know what I'm saying.
It's like, yeah, I get it, but I don't. I
don't like when you say.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
It, like like like you're you're right, but for the
worst reason.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Possible, right right, It's like, well, I don't like the media,
you know, putting out bad things. You're like, yeah, no,
I agree with that, because you know who runs the media.
I'm like, ah, that's where you lost me. That's where
you lost me. And so I think that Marjorie Taylor
Green and a lot of these other Yo MAGA influencers
(35:00):
as it were, I think they're just mostly anti Semitic
pieces of shit, and so this is this is another
excuse for them to kind of slide that anti semitism
in there. Hmm. I think if this was a different
country that we were fighting alongside and it was against Iran,
I think they'd be like hell yeah, Like if it
was the Brits or if it was those fucking French bastards,
(35:23):
I think they'd be like hell yeah. Like I don't
think they would give a fuck. I think if it
was Canada, they'd be like, see, that's why.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
They should be the fifty first eight.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
We're together, bro, Like I don't think so. But because
it's Israel, they're like.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I mean, they're already Jewish people. They're already big supporters
of uh of brown or brown violence. I mean, and
so are a lot of Democrats, for example, because we're
more than happy to back the Saudis to the hilt
against the Yemen. So yeah, you guys kill each other.
That sounds great.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
So yeah, I think that a lot of these sort
of Maco folks are they I think I think it
gives them an excuse to be kind of openly anti
Semitic in a way, like it it's a weird thing.
It's like, now, I'm that doesn't make me on the
opposite side where Marjorie Taylor Green is, but I'm definitely
(36:14):
on the other side of the street. And I'm like,
I agree, don't come over here, you know what I mean.
It's like they stay over there. But look, a lot
of Maga folks are anti war because they don't want
to spend the money, right like they saw how unbelievably
stupid that was to spend all that money in Iraq.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
But yeah, there was there was. There was a candidate
who ran in twenty sixteen who very explicitly made it
a central plank of his platform. To call out other
Republicans for decisions they made during the Iraq War and
how much money they spent and how much of a
boondoggle that war was. You'll never guess who it was.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Right and but that's why he won that primary, because
he was willing to say what none of them were
willing to say on that stage. They were like, well,
you know, I don't want to criticize my own party.
He was like, nah, this is stupid. This was a
stupid decision. It's what he said, and he got roaring
applause because people who are just supporters, that's what they
(37:17):
want to hear. Man like stop talk plainly right, Like
that's Trump's thing, even though he sounds like a buffoon,
But they like that talk, that plain talk where they
go exactly, it's not politically correct, it's not polished. That
was a stupid decision. That's what I say. When I'm
drinking a beer, I also think it's a stupid decision.
Me and Trump are the same, right, That's that's what
they hear. Look again, I will I will go to
(37:39):
my grave saying this because I absolutely believe it. When
Joe Biden went on that debate, station was like will
you shut up? Man? People were like, I don't care
what Joe Biden believes. He said the thing I'm saying.
I'm telling you, like because a lot of times when
people can just sync up with somebody like oh shit,
they believe what I believe, that can be. That's a
powerful thing. It's a power. That's why you can say, hey,
(38:01):
why don't we just deport all these people? And a
bunch of races were like, well, that's what I was
thinking too. And then they went out there and they're like,
oh shit, they deported my cousin. Oh I fucked up.
Shout out to the woman who did that song. I
will vote for Donald Trump. Her Cuban ass husband got
his ass fucking picked up my eyes. So she's like
crying on TV. This is not what I voted for me, lady,
(38:23):
this is exactly what you voted for.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
And and actually I will give I will give the
anti war maaga folks this one thing, because we've been
making fun of we've been making fun of people for
six months about saying, oh, I didn't vote for this,
but when when in fact you absolutely did. In this case,
the anti war Maga people are correct. They did not
(38:46):
vote for him to get into another conflict into the
Middle East because he ran he he ran as the
peace candidate.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
If you recall, yes, they were the peace ticket, they
were the.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Peace right what what now? What people didn't realize is
that he meant peace through war is is what he is?
What he uh you know what the fine print that
uh that was not said he invented that phrase. By
the way, Jay, that's another one that that you that
we can chalk up to him.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Oh, by the way, did he really say that?
Speaker 2 (39:16):
So he I don't think. I don't think he did.
His press secretary did today though basically like he like,
he caught like like he like like peace, peace through
war is his idea, you know, certainly wasn't spoken by
like Hadrian back in the fucking teens during during the
(39:39):
heights of the Roman Empire or anything like that. I
don't other world leaders throughout history.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
I don't like her like and not in that I
don't like her because I'm a I'm more on the left.
I don't like her because that woman is dumb as
ship and has no business being in that position.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
I saw a.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Clip of her today and it was it was a
guy from NBC news. I forget the guy's name, Peter something,
and he was like, hey, you said like they played
the Instagram clip. Was great. They played the clip of
what she said like months ago, and then they show
him asking a question about what she said, right, so
(40:24):
it was like perfectly in context. Right, He's like, you
said months ago that DOGE was going in and they
were going to find all they had found all of
this fraud, and then it and then it cuts to
you know, like it shows it shows her response like, oh,
they found all this you know, fraud when they went
(40:44):
into the government, and it comes back then and goes,
have there been any formal cases brought for these billions
of dollars in fraud that you said that they found.
And she's like, well, that's a very clever question. It's like,
it's not even a clever question. You said they found fraud.
Where are the cases against the fraud? And she was like, well,
(41:05):
you know, we said we suspected that there was fraud
and we found you know, seventy eight billion dollars in
spending they're doing misectomies and you know, for foreign countries.
And he was like, but that's not fraud, that's just shit.
You don't, like, that's not fucking fraud. And she's like,
well are you against him finding seventy eight billion dollars
of ways to spending? He was like, and she's like
(41:26):
in one year. He's like, well actually and they actually
had like like this yo, like almost like a chirn
type of thing. He was like, that actually wasn't in
one year. That was across like seven years. And she
was like, no, it was it was a one year.
It's like, no, it wasn't. It was over seven years,
Like here's the data. What the fuck are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Right?
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Her inability because she's not fast, like she just goes
nuh uh. That's that's her response.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
It's what I mean. But her but her job is
not to Her job is not to actually gauge the press.
It's to go out there and just repeat the talking
points that the administration wants to her, right, And if
she gets caught and if she gets called on it,
you just you just barrel through it because lying has
no consequence for these assholes, right, And it's.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Like, well, that's what all press secretaries do. It's like, no,
if you notice democratic press secretary and even pass republican
secretaries outside of the Trump administrations, they're not idiots, like
they actually had data. And I would even argue Sarah
Huckabee Sanders wasn't wasn't an idiot. She was awful, but
she wasn't an idiot, Like she actually knew shit, right,
she could answer questions. This woman is just like no,
(42:32):
it isn't like no, but like, but it is, here's
the day. Uh, your mother's dumb, like, like, what the
fuck are we talking about? Like, because she is completely inexperienced,
she's completely out of her depth. I mean, she's only
second to that eyebrow raising idiot twenty two year old
who's definitely gonna fuck up stopping a terrorist action inside
(42:54):
of the United States. It's like, isn't she like twenty
seven years old or some.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Shit like yeah, yeah, with the with the husband who's
like fifty nine.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Yeah gross gross Yeah yeah, because well, when you don't
have any other talents, you might as well use the
the only.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
One you get. Yeah, yuck.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
So I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan at all.
But by the way, we got a ceasefire, yeah before we.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
Move we did.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
Oh and and and and speaking of speaking of things,
that are gonna age like milk. Here here's a quote.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Here is a quote from the current president in the
United States because he was asked, uh in the wake
of the ceasefire news between Israel and Iran, how long
the ceasefire would be, and Trump responded, quote, I think
the ceasefire is unlimited. It's going to go forever, and
that Iran and Israel will quote never be shooting each
(43:48):
other or sorry, will ever they will never be shooting
each at each other again. Okay, Okay, I mean I
mean the Middle East, Jake in fair understand, the Middle East,
known historically for being the like one of the most
stable regions on the club. Okay, we're nothing. Nothing crazy
(44:10):
ever happened.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
There's nothing that's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
What ever. Forever, Jay, is Israel and Iran will never
ever fight again.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
I've long said, I've long said, there.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
Will never there will never be hostilities. You know, Iran
is just gonna stop funding himas like I bet you
that's part of the ceasfire agreements. They're like, you know what,
we don't like Kamas anymore. We're just gonna pull all
the money out of Mas that we've that we that
we've wandered to them. No problem.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
It's like, it's like living in the world's dumbest box.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
I have, I have, I have a conspiracy theory for you.
I love you, if you if you'd love if you'd
love me to be entertained. What was the other thing
that Trump was really bitching about heavily last week that
just kind of came up out of nowhere. It's been
something he's bitched out before. It kind of re arose
last week.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
Toilet huh, toilets?
Speaker 2 (45:08):
No, not toilets. For some reason, Trump was back on
his bullshit about the fact that he thinks it's fucked
up that he's never won a Nobel Peace Prize.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
Oh oh, it's in my it's it's that's that's that's rocket,
that's the I want an oop loopa daddy, I want
one now.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
That's Oh, well, what's dumber? A briger a Republican for
some reason, Well, I can't believe you used the true
social like, oh my god, I need to scrub this
for my fucking browser. I can't believe it's what a
piece of ship your computer? For some reason, Actually I don't,
I'm I don't know why I'm saying, like, I don't
(45:45):
know the reason why it really bothers Donald Trump like
like two degrees that that the rest of us can
only fathom that Barack Obama has won a Nobel Peace
Prize and he has not won it. Really fucking bothered.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 2 (46:02):
And so he was, and so he was bitching about
that last week. What if this was just some really
massive plot with Israel to align him to be nominated
for the twenty twenty sixth level PE's prized as the
man who finally ended the decades of hostility between Israel
(46:28):
and Iran bye by bombing the shit out of Iran.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
Yeah, but he did. If he thinks, if he thinks
that is going to work, that is that is pretty dumb. Look,
I know people, I know people get he's pretty dumb. Yeah,
I mean in archiable. I know people get up in
arms about Barack Obama having a Nobel Peace Price, Right?
(46:56):
Did he need one? No? Right? But I feel like
people just forget what that situation was, right, Like, the
prize was given as a like, hey man, you seem
like a real peaceful dude. Please don't bomb r On.
We don't want this shit to spark off and you
know what happened, not that he was planning on it.
(47:19):
He didn't. Okay, he didn't buy into all the neo
khon fucking horseshit. He didn't you bow to that pressure
and everything else. I think that deserves a Nobel Peace
Prize for not doing something. Seems a bit weird, but
I do think context matters. Trump getting a Nobel Peace
Prize for anything would in my eyes, make everyone who's
(47:45):
won a Nobel Peace Prize previous to that fucking useless,
just because there's nothing peaceful about that guy. There's nothing
about that guy that wants to do kind or good
things to help humanity at all. That's it. That's the
whole sentence.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
Like I don't I don't remember what it is that
he claimed he did in his first term that he
think that he feels he deserves that he deserves a
know what piece price for. I think I think it
was like tempering hostilities between like India and Pakistan or
something like that. Dude, that was a point where too well, yeah,
well to the point where like like literally on Friday,
(48:27):
Pakistan because they wanted to kiss his ass, put out
a statement that was like yeah, like, we think Donald
Trump should get to know l he's prized for helping
curve hostilities between US in India. And then like, in
the wake of the bobbing and I ran the next day,
they were like, what the fuck, I can't believe he
fucking did this or he.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
Well, you fuck that one up, bro, We were right
behind you. Let me let me read his his truth
because it's uh, it's a fucking doozy. The dude was
dude was fucking spazzing out. I am very happy to
report that I have arranged, along with the Secretary of
State Marco Rubio, a wonderful treaty between the Democratic Republic
(49:03):
of the Congo and the Republic of Rwanda in their war,
which was known for violent bloodshed and death, more so
even than most other wars and has gone on for decades. Okay,
representatives from Rwanda and Congo will be in Washington on
Monday to sign documents. This is a great day for
Africa and quite frankly, a great day for the world.
(49:24):
By the way, this is the same guy who called
African country shithole countries. M Just so we're clear, I
won't get a Nobel Peace Prize for this. I won't
get a Nobel Peace Prize for stabbing the war between
Indian and Pakistan. I won't get a Nobel Peace Prize
for stabbing the war between Serbia and Kosovo. I won't
get a Nobel Peace Prize for keeping peace between Egypt
(49:46):
and Ethiopia. A massive Ethiopian built damn stupidly financed by
the United States of America, substantially reduced the water flowing
into the Nile River, by the way, stupidly financed. But
I won't win a fucking Nobail prishe see it? By
the way? Who built the Who built the dam? Was
it you? It wasn't at all. I'm sure it was
(50:08):
Joe Biden, or maybe it wasn't. Maybe it was even
way before that. But considering he's saying it's stupidly financed
by the United States, that's probably under Joe Biden. He
really hates it. And I won't get a Nobel Peace
Prize for doing the Abraham Accords in the Middle East,
which if all goes well, will be loaded to the
(50:29):
brim with additional countries signing on and will unify the
Middle East for the first time in the ages. Right,
He wrote the Ages.
Speaker 2 (50:39):
I love this random quote quotation marks yeah, his posts.
It is legitimately my favorite thing about him, because it's
like they see random like the Ages.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
The Ages makes no sense, like, Okay, no, I won't
get the Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do.
Including Russia. You you literally haven't done anything. You've actually
made it worse. And Israel Iran again, what have you done?
You bombed one of them, like you did, whatever those
(51:15):
outcomes may be. But the people know, and that's all
that matters to me. I don't think that's all that
matters to you.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
I really do so.
Speaker 1 (51:22):
I think I think I'm not mad.
Speaker 2 (51:26):
Another thing, I'm not mad. Don't put in the newspaper
that I got mad.
Speaker 1 (51:32):
I don't even care. Here's my three thousand word essay
about why I don't care. Fuck you guys, Oh my god,
I want a clown, all right.
Speaker 2 (51:40):
I mean, so there you go. Just you know, take
solace in the fact that, no matter how insecure you
may be in your life, you aren't not more insecure
than the current president at the fact that Barack Obama,
who he views as a very moronic person, has done
something that he cannot do again, Like it really you know,
(52:01):
you know how we say, like you know that, like
everything bad that's happened in America, you can pretty much
just track back to racism and you'll find the origin
point pretty much anything that Donald Trump has ever done.
I feel like you can just track back to to
his insecurity compared to Barack Obama.
Speaker 1 (52:17):
No, that's one hundred percent right, Like I think, I mean,
I think part of him wanting to run a third time,
besides protecting himself, is I think he would love to
run against Barack Obama, like I do. I know that
they want to have it like, oh, it's Barack Obama
wouldn't be allowed to run fucking horseshit. But I think
this part of him, he'd be like, no, let him,
(52:39):
Like he just wants to take him on, but Obama wouldn't,
is the thing exactly. He'd be like, yeah, it's fucking dumb.
Speaker 2 (52:47):
I don't I don't believe. I don't believe that that's correct.
Speaker 1 (52:49):
So, like.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
I was literally a constitutional law professor, seem a bit.
Speaker 1 (52:56):
File bro like yeah, come on, Brack scared. No, it's
something I'm scared. I believe in the doc the founding
documents of the country, Like I know it's super weird,
but I think, like, I think he wants to be
able to to take him on, and I think like
his desire to be a sort of transformative figure and
(53:17):
like have like a real mark in American history. I
think all of that stems from that. Like Barack Obama
is the first black president, and he was like came
in on this like the fucking wings of an eagle
as far as like how excited people were. And I
think that's what he wants. Because Donald Trump, for his
many faults, has what can only be described as unbelievable
(53:42):
little dick energy, right Like he just so like he
is jum He's and Barack Obama's got like my accounts
from women, he's got big dick energy, right like he's
just like hey whatever, like I'm just fucking doing shit.
If he were just like that guy, seems fucking cool.
Donald Trump is the exact opposite of that, right.
Speaker 2 (54:00):
I mean, Donald Trump has spent his entire life like
trying to, you know, show everyone that he's a really
big fucking deal essentially.
Speaker 1 (54:06):
Right And look, if we go by Stormy Daniels, it's
not just energy, it's really it's really that small sad.
All right, news you need. Senate passes stable coin legislation.
This is all user. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
The Senate voted and passed pretty overwhelmingly sixty eight to
thirty what's called the Genius Act that included eighteen Democrats
signing on to basically established federal regulation around stable coins,
which are the crypto coins that are slightly more legitimate
than meme coins are essentially like like they're the things
(54:43):
that work like actual stocks for lack of a better term,
and basically making sure that those coins that are linked
to the value of the US dollars have just just
the broadest regulation around them, essentially because I guess a
bad bit of regulation is better than no regulation at all,
(55:05):
which I feel like is also untrue as a statement. Again,
a lot of a lot of the usual suspects that
you would expect, maybe some of you don't try to
lobby pretty hard against this, Like obviously Elizabeth Warren was
out there trying to whip against it, and Ron Wyden also, Weirdly,
(55:25):
Ran Paul and Josh Holly were like, uh, we're not
really fucking down with this, because they are not, you know,
they're very skeptical with big tech, which again is one
of those like strange bedfellows, like you know, they're they're
on your side for the wrong reasons essentially, So that
so that happened. Again, We'll see what comes of this.
(55:50):
I'm still a very, as you know, cryptoskeptical. It is
a fucking scam really at the end of the day.
I mean it's again, you're holding nothing tangible. It's it's
it's no different than fucking gambling essentially. So, as Jay
said many times before, like it rises and falls specifically
on the greater full theory of economics, stable coins to
(56:13):
a much lesser extent obviously, like stable coins are called
stable coins for a reason they don't have the sharp
fluctuations and value. So that would be like ethereum and
theoryum and bitcoin and and stuff like that. Yeah, dose,
I mean yeah, I mean it is. You is it
is considered a stable coin? I think it is. I
(56:36):
think it is because because it's actually backed with actual
like money essentially. Okay, that's that's that's the difference. Whereas
the meme coins are just like, hey, we invented this
thing out of thin air, buy it please, and people do,
and then yeah, like the hot co or any of
them the Trump coin, for example.
Speaker 1 (56:59):
Yeah, you're rid of that one, but they won't. Yeah,
it's it's uh fucking insane. Next up, Look, I love this.
I think the is the primary tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (57:15):
It's tomorrow, it's tomorrow. It's it's interesting that you love this.
Speaker 1 (57:22):
Right, tell us why you hate brown people, Brad Golf.
Speaker 2 (57:25):
I'm I like everything that I've seen of of of
Zaran Mamdani. Uh, seems pretty cool. He seems like he'd
be a dope fucking New York mayor. It really really
fucking bothers me. Two that you cannot imagine that, Chris, Chris,
(57:46):
that Andrew Cuomo is somehow trending as high as he
is in a Democratic primary. Yeah, what the fuck are
we doing here? Your Democratic new Yorkers, Like, I know
what we're doing here. I understand what's happening. Centrists are
(58:06):
scared of the big, bad brown socialist that's that's fucking
running in New York.
Speaker 1 (58:11):
But Cuomo had been leading before Mamdani searched too.
Speaker 2 (58:16):
Yeah, I understand that the fact that Cuomo was even
like welcome in this race by Democrats, considering these circumstances
at which he had to resign, being the governor of
the state not more than four years ago is insane
to me.
Speaker 1 (58:30):
No, you're one hundred percent correct, You're one hundred percent.
I'm not disagreeing with any of that. I mean, I
don't agree with your hate for Donna, but no. But
in all seriousness, no, I one hundred percent agree with that.
Chris Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo, any of these quomas get the
fuck out of here, like we're done with you, son,
(58:51):
Like it's over, Isn't Andrew or Chris On like News
Today or whatever fucking bullshit a news nation.
Speaker 2 (58:58):
He is a news nation. Hanging out with Bill O'Reilly
often cool?
Speaker 1 (59:04):
Sweet. I do remember that video where you're threatened to
push that guy down a fucking flight of stairs. I
was like, all right, I like this guy, little h
That show was hilarious to me. But no, Look, Andrew
Cuomo has no reason to be in this race. I
a one hundred percent agree. Look, a lot of that
has to do with what you what you talked about,
which is centrist being like, uh, a guy, we know right,
(59:28):
That's a big That's a big part of it. Name
recognition matters, it does in politics. A lot of people
just don't pay attention to shit, so they don't know
why Cuomo left. They might have been like, oh, you
just turned them down.
Speaker 2 (59:39):
Or how how is that fucking possible in this in
this like you said during COVID, like if you're a
New Yorker, I have to imagine this came across your desk.
I mean, it would be cool if someone like I
don't know, Kirson Jilibrand can maybe be consistent in her
principles and maybe come out and speak forcefully against a
guy that was accused of sexually harassing what fucking eleven
twelve thirteen women while he was the fucking governor of
(01:00:02):
New York. Maybe that's cool if she but she's she's
remained weirdly silent on this whole thing that she has
to come out, and actually I think she might have
actually indoors. I'm gonna go Bill.
Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Clinton doors, Bill Clinton, and do you know, I mean,
I mean, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Game? Game recognized? Game?
Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
He's like that's all that is?
Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Hell? Yeah? Bro? You know how we were all like
how do you guys roll? We roll really weirdly. Yeah. Look,
I'm not I'm not pleased about it that he's there,
but I am pleased that New York has ring choice
voting and going going out eight rounds. In the last polling,
(01:00:43):
Mam Donnie is up fifty one point eight percent to
Cuelmo's forty eight point two percent. That's that's good man,
look right.
Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
But also but also but also not the not the
poor raid on the parade. He Cuomo leads up until
the very last round.
Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
Essentially, Yeah, that's true, that's true. So it's import its
number of first choice ballots, with the first round of
ring choice voting simulation showing him at thirty six percent
and Mamdannie at thirty four percent. Now here's the thing. This,
(01:01:25):
While while this is this is a decent indicator of
what could potentially happen tomorrow, I know for a fact
that human beings are weird and being pulled versus when
you go into that booth and you go all right,
(01:01:48):
is down to these two guys. That's when that's gonna
matter more, right, And I think I think Mamdanni is
likely going to pull a fucked ton more people out
of out of those you know in this chart from
lander down to love Prince. Oh, I bet there's going
to be a lot. But I know hold on. I
(01:02:08):
think there's gonna be a lot more people who supported
those guys who are like, all right, they don't have
a fucking chance, and they're gonna end up taking a
lot of those voters in that first round, and they're
gonna go to Mamdanni Mamdanni in the first round. Like,
I don't think it's gonna I don't think it's gonna
be so so like this is split across a lot
(01:02:29):
of people. I think when election day comes, you're gonna
see a lot more people go all right, I'm gonna
put Mamdanni is my first and then my guy instead
of putting my guy and then Mamdani uh second.
Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
Here's here's here's my problem. And I understand that rang
choice kind of throws a lot of a big wrench
into the works essentially when it comes to this ship.
Because this looks like a coin flip, uh you know,
between Mamdani and and Cuomo. My fear is the Quomo's
going by like ten points when when it all shakes out.
Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
Just because that seems like how it always goes right,
like like we have these like like because again I
don't trust polling, because like polling it seems like polsters
have no idea what the doing now. This is obviously
a little bit different than you know, like a presidential
polling race or polar race Peter Republican a Democrat in
the Senate, And so I could be wrong there, like
like like, but again you might. I feel like you
(01:03:24):
might also be getting a lot of to your point,
like people that poll say something different sometimes than when
they go into the voting booth. And maybe when you're
confronted with a polster, you don't want to be like, yeah,
I'm gonna definitely rank the guy that is a serial
sexual harassment. But then when you actually get in the
voting booth, it's a different story.
Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
Yeah, we'll see, We'll see.
Speaker 2 (01:03:45):
And by the way, if mom Donnie wins, he still
then has to contend with another guy that's centrist I'm
sure are going to be totally cool voting for, and
that's Eric Adams, who's gonna run as an independent if
he doesn't win the primary, which he wants.
Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
You think Eric Adams is gonna run, He said he would.
Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
I don't believe that, dude, Eric Eric Adams. Nobody believes
in Eric Adams more than Eric Adams come to the
funk on like, you don't think that absolutely he would
absolutely independent, Yes I do.
Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
Oh you know what I want it? You know what,
because I want the two of them in a fucking debate.
Holy shit, I would love for mom, Donnie and Eric
Adams to be in a debate against each other. Hell, yes,
you know what. Fuck it was gonna Hey, don't make
me crash the plane because you know I'm the pilot.
You've got to go down with you. What the fuck
(01:04:44):
is that guy gonna say? He's out there like putting
out drink recipes today like this, she will get you.
Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
Speaking speaking of the guys that I wish we could
just fucking put into a Truman Show simulation and just
watch from afar.
Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
Eric Adams can be president the president. Hell, he would
have a fucking blast that guy. Again, he is another
guy of like if you weren't put in charge of
like serious things and it was just like, ah, it's
all jokes. Hell yeah, Like I look, if Trump was
in a Truman Show type of thing and he had
no power, I'd watch that show every week. It would
(01:05:17):
be appointment television. I'd like, look at this an idiot,
