Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
A dear for questioning Bob great and nothing battle Honey,

(00:25):
funny but sad, but true.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
And yet so on point.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, I a fear for the pets of America. Remember
when like pets were revered and if you attacked the
dogs or I guess they were, they tried to scare
people with eating the dogs.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Remember if you remember if you had dragged a dog
to the edge of a gravel pit and then shot it,
and then you didn't kill it, and then you shot
it three more times so you could kill it and
waited for it to bleed out. That's Christy No, so
you can imagine why she has shall we say, less
than the human touch when it comes to human beings beings.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Yeah, I was gonna say she ruined like old Yeller
had nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Did you guys see that episode last night?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:11):
So good. I actually haven't yet. I still haven't seen either.
I've only seen clips because I don't want to give
money to Paramount. I mean, I just I can't bring
myself to do it, so I just have to watch
the clips and left and.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
People people like have uploaded the whole episode to Twitter.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
I don't know if I'm supposed to say that.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
You have options in the read.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Yeah, you can find it.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
My teenager was like, Mom, you can just do X,
Y and D And I was like, those are illegal.
But I think illegal is what we do now in America.
I think that's uh, that's the new thing, right, Rick, Like,
we don't. We're just deleting parts of the constitution left
and right. We're letting sex traffickers hang out at cool.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
We've got a Department of Justice official who was out
on January sixth screaming killed the cops.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Oh yeah, they're like in the administration now, right.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
It's been a week of distracted palooza and uh and
more chaos and more noise and uh, and yet here
we are again, with you, dear listeners and readers and
followers and viewers, once again plunging our heads into the
acidic bath of of horror and misery that is the
Trump administration.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
It's gonna be a wild rile up people. We're gonna
go through it. We're gonna get through it. It's gonna
be fine. We got Kate with us, who has managed
to pull together everything that happens. So much happened this week,
Like even I saw somebody say diddler on the roof.
I think was that this past week, but that happened,
that was.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Probably it was probably one of the most perfect things
I've seen to describe the entire thing, until, of course
we did that that he held up the white sheet,
the white board today and we've managed to start a
little bit of an internet trend on that.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Oh my god, this second, the second I saw that,
that was like I photo shopped it out.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
I was then, and immediately it was tweeted from the
linkoln account Internet, do your thing.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
What was on that board? It wasn't grocery or polling numbers,
was it?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
It was why would we have his polling numbers on board?
Maya his polling His approval rating is three thousand percent.
No one's ever had a higher approval rating.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Five billion people in America have rated him as a
plus plus plus president.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
The world has said, the people have spoken. I am
God King, President, Emperor of Dune. That's it, Iracus, Big Planet, Dusty.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
He's the people's president.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
Anyway, time for first topic of the night.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
What do you say?

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yes? Yes, okay, sorry.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Dad, okay, yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
So before we get into all the latest Epstein updates,
I just wanted to address speaking of South Park, the
ice operation Trojan Horse, where they rented a Penske truck
in LA pulled up to a and MS let me

(04:12):
let me roll that quip for you guys.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
It's almost like, oh, did we lose our clip? We
lost Kate, you lost me here?

Speaker 2 (04:44):
I am okay.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Let's keep in mind the context. This is a home depot.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Wait, there are.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
People who are shopping for paint. There are people who
are like got their little pink chip things and they're
holding it up like it's you know, a part of everyday,
regular weekend life for people. And they've staged obviously because
they had the camera through in the truck with them,
like this is purely for optics.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
And you know, I think here's a question I've been
meaning to ask. Because they love the home depots in
California parking lot strategy. This is their way to round up.
So their excuse is these people are dangerous MS thirteen
drug dealers, human traffickers, and terrorists. I guess being a

(05:36):
drug dealer, human trafficker or terrorists is not a very
well paying gig. Because these guys are in the home
depot parking lot looking for construction work.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
They're good at multitasking.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
RICO don't well apparently so I mean good war.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
It's the skill set from running drugs to doing dry wall.
Everybody knows that.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
It's just you know. But what I was struck by
was this is the same tactic that is used by
the Patriot Front. And guys, if you don't know who
the Patriot Front is, take a quick visit on Google,
because they are a bunch of in cells who who
dress up in identical khakis, dark polo shirts, face masks,
and baseball caps. And and this is exactly what they do.

(06:20):
They roll up in a Penske van or in a
U haul van, they jump out and assault people and
and and you know, scream their little you know, Hale
Hitler bullshit. And and it strikes me as uncoincidental that
that somehow ICE, which has now said that they have
no lower age limit, no education requirement people to join ICE.

(06:45):
Now you must be this tall to join the ICE, you.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Might, well, this is the thing which what this means
is that somebody can come straight out of high school,
prefrontal cortex, barely formed correct, can target somebody that they
don't like. Like we've already seen things like this happen,
and so knowing that this is something that they're actually
going to enshrine in their policy of how they're doing

(07:11):
their hiring because they couldn't poach people from the sheriff's
departments and things like they wanted to to have a
police state, you need more people who are willing to
be fascists. Well in this case though, fascist.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Not just yeah, by setting the standard as low as
humanly possible, Okay, I mean at this point, I will
not be shocked if Ice comes out and says in
a few days prior felonies do not disqualify you from
this federal law enforcement position. It will not shock me.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
They'll have like a list of certain felonies that are possible.
And by going back to that raid that was ruled illegal,
just these indiscriminate raids, because there was nothing about that
that said warrant to me.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Of course, the.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Flooding out of a truck like that doesn't say, oh,
we have a warrant and we're looking for a specific
person here. That to me says, oh, we're looking for
those Spanish speaking day laborers. And that is not how
they are conducting raids in rural areas or in Red States.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
And once again, I go back to this a lot,
because the way they spin it is we're arresting MS
thirteen human traffickers, we're arresting drug dealers, We're arresting rapists
and murderers and predators. And yet even the statistics they
have released have shown that about ninety five percent of

(08:33):
the people they're arresting are not criminals. They're not in
that category. And it strikes me over and over again,
like the drama of these you know, drump out raids
all up armored and tooled up like they're going into
Fallujah in two thousand and three.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
They're going to just come in in black hawk helicopters,
like just.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Rokes, Flight of the Valkyries.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
It's it's the worst of cosplay. And and again I'm
one of the things that I've heard, Rick, and I'm
curious if you've heard this too, is that well, they're
rescuing people from trafficking rings, so that these are people
who have been trafficked. And I'm like, okay, so if
they're victims, then why are you rounding them up and

(09:22):
putting them in camera.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
If they're victims, why are you immediately deporting them? You
know it. There's no real logic to this mad and
I think we know by now what this is. That's
really why why they're escalating now is they're not meeting
the quotas that Miller, even Miller has said, and they're not.
They're not they're not providing a sufficient distraction from all

(09:45):
things Epstein. So, I mean, it's what we on. You know,
they've thrown a lot of a lot of this stuff
out into the into the wild. And I think I
think Gnome in particular wants to be as trollish as
she can as a cabinet secretary in doing that, and

(10:06):
as trollish as she can to say to Trump, well,
I'm helping distract from Epstein. Uh, you know I'm doing.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
I think it's that, all of the distraction. But I
also think they didn't expect people to fight back in
the way that they have expect like the woman, the
old lady down the street to come with her iPhone
and start filming and harassing ice officers who are targeting people.
They didn't expect any of that. It's almost like how
you know, Russia went into Ukraine and expected it to

(10:33):
be over in two or three days. They really thought
they were going to take over the communities and people
were going to be like, Okay, go ahead, you know,
we're afraend We're And now we're what six months in
and people are still showing up for their communities and
they're not going to stop showing up for their communities.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
And and you know, there have been a bunch of
these Republicans who have started to do town halls again
and they there's one line when they're asked, they they're like, well,
these people don't have any rights to do a process. Know,
bro read the Constitution. It does not say citizens get
due process. It says everyone present in the United States
gets due process, and that includes people who are here

(11:11):
under immigration status that is not currently approved. And this
idea you're going to snatch people, it has provoked that
public backlash. It has provoked that response to people, and
rightly so because you know what, and I I this
is one of the things that like grinds me a lot,
is that America was always the one propositional nation where

(11:35):
it didn't matter where you came from, you could become
an American, you could be you're you know, it's the
it's the Ronald Reagan thing. If you're born in IF
IF if you're you can move to Turkey, but you're
not going to become a Turk. You can move to Japan,
but you're not going to become a Japanese person. You
can move, you know, almost anywhere in the world, but
you're not going to become that. You can move to

(11:55):
America and become an American. It is a It is
not blood or soil or DNA or any of that crap.
It is the propositional nation. And this is like such
salt on that by Steven Miller and these goons, and
the fact that they're doing it with this sort of
performative cruelty is to please one specific demographic that is

(12:18):
non college white dudes forty plus, who were the core
of the immigration hatred machine. And you know, after six
months of it, with Trump's numbers plunging on immigration now
being about eleven points underwater on immigration in the aggregate polling,

(12:39):
how's it working out for you guys, because it ain't.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yeah, and the grocery prices coming down that he campaigned
on eventually, now that it's back to school and we're
seeing people look at their bank account and go, oh,
we're not making ends meet, so we can't actually survive
on our hatred. We can't or vibe on Yeah, you.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Know, you know, hating hating those brown people does not
does not cover the grocery bills, nor does it pay
for the increased price of goods that are coming from
other countries that Americans are paying. This endless repetition this week.
This is another Trump World distraction from Epsteine, folks, which
we're getting to in one minute.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
I promise we haven't. We will never forget about Epstein.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
No, We're never I'm never letting that shit go never. Never.
You had Scott Besston today admitting it on on MSNBC
when Eugene Robinson said who writes the checks that the
government is collecting on these tariffs coming in? Who is it?

(13:45):
And and best it squirmed and twisted and flipped back
and forth and finally said, it's the American companies that
are paying for the goods coming from overseas. And are
they passing that prices on? No, yes they are.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
So.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Whenever you see folks the White House bragging, oh, three
hundred billion dollars in tariff revenue this year, you paid that? Yeah,
you paid that, and.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
For in this, I think is what is really gonna
hurt Trump is that people when they realized that their
receipt from Walmart is fifty percent higher, they're going to
know that they were lied to.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
You know, well, they're starting to figure it out there,
They're starting to figure it out. It is it is.
There was a great clip today that I saw on
on threads of a of a woman. It was a
it was a screencap from some woman on Facebook, like
I love mister Trump, I supported him three times this
and that, blah blah blah. But we we import things
from Africa and I can't believe UPS wouldn't deliver the

(14:46):
package until we paid them the tariff we we weren't
supposed to pay that the other country was supposed to.
And she's like, I got on the phone my UPS
customer service rep and they couldn't solve it. I'm like, no,
that would be the service rep at sixe hundre and
something you avenue.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
And it's not only more difficult to get goods into
the country, it's also more difficult to get people in
because it is killing tourism, and that is something that
nobody is talking about. It is killing tourism in Vegas.
It's killing tourism in Florida. Like, these are economies that
rely on people wanting to come here, and you pave

(15:23):
it less than attractive to come here to study, to
spend money here, Like we want tourists to come here
and spend money in this idea that everybody's coming and overstaying.
Like now they put a fifteen thousand dollars bond on
people from Malawi, and I can't remember one other country,
and it's like, what are you even doing right now?

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Here's It's the as my father when I was growing
up always said to me, goes Rick, you have frame
everything in your life between with three points expectations, choices,
and consequences, and their expectation that people would still come
here for fun or tourism when we are arresting people

(16:07):
from other countries randomly, when we are acting like assholes
and trying to destroy their country's economies. You know, about
fifteen percent of the tourism in Las Vegas was from Canada. Yeah,
they're like, no, we'll pass.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, there's a big few too. And so all of
those workers who voted for Trump thinking, oh, no tax
on tips? Well what tips if you're not get no
tax on tips because you're not getting any I guess
is what the deal is. And so, and of course
this is why the Gerrymandarin is happening. This is why

(16:43):
they're trying to redistrict, and why they're trying to do
another census is because everything that he's doing is so
unpopular and he knows it. And I think that's the
thing to me that's most frustrated and probably to everybody
sure else.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
They are looking as as I've said a lot, they
are looking for a cheat code to get out of
the political crisis that Trump has caused with in the
one column, his absolute economic illiteracy and incompetence, and on
the other column, the fact that he is attempting to

(17:18):
cover up and to bribe Glane Maxwell to cover up
his role with Jeffrey Epstein. This is not this is now.
We are in now in week five, and Kate is
back on screen because I think we're about to lay
into the meat.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Now, let's do it.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
So on the Gallaine Maxwell front, I want to start
with her move to Club fed in Texas. So last
week Maxwell was moved from a low security federal prison
in Tallahassee Florida to the minimum security Brian Federal Prison
camp in Texas near your old school. Maybe it's somewhere

(17:54):
in Texas, big state. I don't know where it is.
It has been u club fed for its relatively relatively
relaxed conditions and houses THEREHOS founder Elizabeth Holmes and Real
Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shawmazing Shaw. So
what do we think?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
What?

Speaker 4 (18:15):
What? What did Todd Blanche promise Glaine during.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
That So I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna psychically project
into this because I'm sorry. Yes, I was like the
I was like the devil on your shoulder. So look,
Todd Blanche, let's remember, is close friends with Glaine Maxwell's lawyer,

(18:42):
their buddies, they do a podcast, they're they're they're friends.
So I promise you. He walked into there before that
meeting started and said, Hey, I'm gonna ask your clients
some broad questions. Don't say the T word during those answers.
So Glaine max Well is, by the way, folks, a
very smart woman. She's a psychotic, she's a predator, she's

(19:06):
a sociopath. She's evil, but she's not dumb. And she
wants out of federal prison. So her lawyer gave her
the nod in the wink and said, tell thebody wants
to hear. So she did, and it's you know, it's
I'm sure it's like Donald Trump is a is a
handsome man, a talented conversationalist, an elegant dancer. No, there's

(19:30):
nothing about Donald Trump. I never saw him do anything
at all. She knows what to say, and her lawyer
and Todd Blanche put the fix in on this thing.
Nothing people about this is in any shred believable. You know,
who doesn't believe it? Everybody maga, they don't believe it.

(19:52):
When eighty one percent of Americans and seventy percent of
Republicans say that he's hiding things about his relationship with
with Epstein, and seventy seven percent of Republicans want all
the documents released, Trump's on the wrong side of this transaction.
He's on the wrong side of this deal. It's dumber
than a bag of dirt. The way he's handling this, well,

(20:14):
it's like trying.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
To put toothpaste back into the tube, right, and it's
just getting messier and messier. And so they were supposed
to have this meeting about it had to figure out
how to manage the mess did They were.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Going to have a secret meeting in JD Vance's house
then at the Naval Observatory, which.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Is weird because jd Vance is on vacation so often
that I didn't know that he could be around to
have a meeting. Because in the last month or so
he's been but Disneyland with his family. He was boating
and they had to do they have to add water.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, they opened the dam on a river so that
jd Vance and his family could go canoeing as one does, Like.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
I JD. Vans is just I find him to be
one of the most smarmy people that I have ever
just seen slither across the earth. Like I just can't
stand him, and I feel like he might be our
president soon, and I'm a little concerned about that. Rick.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Look, I have a theory of the case that at
some point the Fileo Fish and the KFC will catch
up with Donald. Yeah, but we also have to recognize
the most evil people I've ever known lived the longest,
and so that motherfucker could be here for when he's

(21:31):
ninety nine years old, still trying to run the Republican Party.
But look, JD desperately wants to be president. And the
reason Trump did not let them have that meeting at
the Naval Observatory is because he wanted them where he
could see and hear and have his snitches listening on
those meetings. He wanted people close to him so that

(21:52):
while they're out at the Naval Observatory, sitting around the
dining room table in that beautiful dining room, they don't say, well,
you know, if this goes south, JD, we might have
to consider the twenty fifth Amendment, which if you don't
think JD. Vance is thinking about the twenty fifth ament, y'all.
Jdvance is thinking about the twenty fifth Amendment. This is
going to be great.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
As I say, he can't wait to get him gone.
And I feel like Trump is is that person who's
become more of a distraction than he's worth. Like, once
they're able to kind of pull off what they need
to do as far as implementing all the surveillance technology,
and once they've got ICE up and running, it's like
a startup, right, and you have the CEO and you
need to replace the CEO, but you don't want to

(22:34):
do it too abruptly, right.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
You want to make you want to get to your
You want to get to you. You want to get
your You want to get your your your A round
of funding in before you replace the CEO, right, because
before the IPO you have to have everything running perfectly
and advance and Teal and the whole Red Caesar group
and the whole uh Curtis Yarvin group. Folks. I know

(22:57):
the'm going to the weeds here a little bit of
right wing weirdos, but I.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Think it's important to talk about those folks because I
did a deep dive on Curtis Yarvin the other day.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Oh he's a crazy.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
I was like, why are you using the N word
and not using the N word, but using the N
word in uh? On Twitter? I was like, you know,
you can just say the N word now, you don't
have to hide your.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Right it's Twitter. Just just just let your freak flag
fly there. You Yeah, that is a man. That is
a man who, as somebody said the day describing him
as a man with a richly punchable face, Yes, very
much so.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
And you know me, I don't want to punch anyone,
but I kind of I punch bags, not people.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
But yeah, there it is. But but look, JD. Vance.
Trump does not fundamentally trust JD. Vance. He likes that
JD has playing the role. He likes the JD he
because he loves anybody who he who opposed him once
and then breaks and supports him. Okay, he loves that narrative,

(24:01):
He loves that storyline, he loves that idea.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
I almost forgot that, Rick, this is how much crazy
has happened. I forgot that. At one point he was
a never Trump guy.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
He called Trump America's Hitler.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
And he was right, yeah, I think he's more like
the world Hitler at this point.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
More like Hitler's Hitler.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
If you want to see an example of this sort
of mistrust, there was a moment in the White House
earlier where they you know, Trump was asked about this meeting,
and then he was like, well, j D will tell you, right,
JD that that didn't happen, or that they.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
Posting a gathering this evening to talk about how to
respond to the Epstein situation? Is he working on what
hosting some kind of gathering of top advisors this evening
to talk about how to respond to the Epstein situation.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
I don't know, I could ask you that question. I
don't know of it, but I think here's the man, right.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
I saw word today and it's completely figure news. We're
not meaning to talk about the Epstein situation, and I
think the reporter who reported it needs to get better sources.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
The whole thing is a hoax. It's put out by
the Democrats because we've.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Had the most successful six months in the history of
our country, and that's just a way of trying to
divert attention to something that's total bullshit.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
The fact that he just throws out the word bullshit.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Lately, he's loving the phrase bullshit.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
It's it's right up there with hoax. And at some
point the word hoax is going to lose its magic,
which I think.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
I think I think hoax is already denatured enough because
you know, we've got everything with Trump as a hoax.
Remember Access Hollywood was a hoax. Oh yeah, Carroll was
a hoax. Russia was all that. He loves that phrase,
and he uses that phrase, folks because a lot of

(26:05):
his followers, about fifteen percent of his base, are very
conspiracy driven. They're the Q and Honors and the Grassy
ole people. All of those people are are sort of
magically activated by that word.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Well, it's like a Pavlolovian response. They're like polkes, Oh, okay,
next thing we should pay attention to because this is
just yeah, just as yeah, we'll move on kay of thing.
But what's interesting about JD is the fact that he
can stand there in that room with somebody that he knows,
knows is it complete and total moron right, and then

(26:45):
still play this game. And I think that's the part
that drives me nuts. And how many times, by the way,
is Trump going to ask when they ask him a
question where he does the thing where he pretends like
he didn't hear, like did he not really actually hear?
Is he just buying time to figure out?

Speaker 2 (27:00):
He's buying time. He's taking a beat, you know. And
and my thought on on the Vance thing, he's very simple.
JD is a guy who has a lot of pathologies
of his own and a lot of ego issues of
his own. And he saw in when Peter Tiel took

(27:24):
him under his wing and got him in the US Senate, JD.
Vance suddenly saw a way to gain power. We know,
shortcutting a long, long career that would have taken otherwise.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
So yeah, he leapfrogged right in there, and he sure did.
America's nightmare. It's something that I want to wake up
from desperately. So but so, they had a meeting, they
didn't have a meeting. We don't know what's going to
happen with that, Rick, but I feel like I want

(27:57):
them to just want I kind of want to just
get on with it already.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
I guess that's the thing, right, folks, somebody right back,
right back.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
All right, well, and I will I will roll with our.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Away.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
Don't worry, Maya, You'll never be alone.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
I love that because there was that time when Rick
flew in and was doing it from a tarmac and
I was alone for a bit simply because he was
landing a plane as we were starting the show. But
this is perfect time for us to talk about the
media matters, UH stuff, because I'm so grateful for the
actual research because it's easy to say, oh, on Fox,

(28:38):
they're just talking about uh, they're just trying to avoid
talking about Epstein and they're going to talk about Sydney Sweeney.
But to actually see the numbers behind it, that's the
stuff that makes me go like, wow, so you have
some of those.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
This is a Media Matters study that I saw came
out today. So Fox has devoted over seven times more
coverage to Sydney Sweeney and the Epstein scandal recently. I
want to read you some numbers out of this study.
So since July twenty eighth, Fox has spent four hours
and fifty minutes discussing Sydney Sweeney's genes ad for American Eagle,

(29:17):
forty minutes discussing the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files,
and one minute discussing rising grocery prices. Let's like visualize
that which I.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Saw a poll that said fifty percent of Americans are
concerned and stressed about grocery prices. I think beef is
up at I think fifteen percent something like that. Everything
is up and people are feeling it. And so what
I'm wondering is in this medio ecosystem of Fox News

(29:52):
where they're trying to structure and create this reality, there
has to be some cognitive dissonance like who, if you
can't put food on the table, why do you care
about Sydney Sweetey's gens at all?

Speaker 4 (30:05):
Right?

Speaker 6 (30:06):
And this is so illustrative of the way that these
culture war issues climb the right wing media ladder and
make their way up to Fox News. They rarely ever
begin there. So this begins on like TikTok right, where
you know, sort of academics pick.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
Apart what's wrong with this ad? And I'm not going
to indulge the conversation about it discourse.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
I'm tired.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
It's been like three weeks, no.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
More, no more the jeans. I'm done.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
But this comes up and then it makes its way
up through the right wing content creator pipeline, So then
you have you know, influencers, right wing influencers stitching it
and saying like, oh, I'm going to go buy American
Eagle jeans or whatever, and then it makes its way
up to the streamers like the Charlie Kirks who said,

(31:03):
you know, the left is completely losing their minds over
this genes ad. And as it climbs the ladder, the
implication becomes that Democrats, like the elected public servants in
the Democratic Party, are obsessed with the gens.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
Which no one actually is. Like the fact that they're
able to manufacture this fake rage coming from the left
on this is insane because nobody I know was talking
about it except for the few people having these little
fake pieces and like, the story has legs intended, and
I get that, but I also think it's interesting the

(31:48):
intersection of how much they really really hate women unless
they can make them objects like Sidney Sweeney is like
the perfect shiny object to dangle in front of the
MAGA crowd, like could they couldn't think of? Like could
be no better, big boobs, blonde, blue eyes, like put
her out there. And but the fact of the matter

(32:12):
is it still stands. Groceries aren't cheaper, so I don't
care how many things you dangle in front. But to
use a woman to distract from a story that's about
the abuse of women and children and girls, to use
a woman to that is one of the most cynical

(32:33):
and disgusting ways to even like. And the thing is,
I don't even think they see themselves doing it, and
even if they did, they wouldn't care, Like where are
the evangelicals on this?

Speaker 4 (32:43):
Like so yeah, I mean it's it's so it's so
shameless that the just any any culture war issue that
they can find. You always you know that Trump has
done something horrible when you turn on Fox News and
they're talking about a culture war issue. If you turn
on Fox and they have found a new transgender high

(33:03):
school athlete and they're doing fifteen minutes on them every hour.
Trump's approval numbers are down. A bad jobs report came out,
something bad happened in the news that they don't want
you to worry about, and they want you to worry
about this thing. And they want more than they want
you to worry about it, they want you to believe
that the left is singularly focused, that the Democratic Party,

(33:26):
more to the point, is singularly focused on this culture
wor issue and they don't care about your grocery prices
when it's just it's so in your face, supercritical.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
And I think for that crowd it is effective. What
I do think is happening is people do have muscle
memory now for the distraction game, and so everyone's like,
but it's still it doesn't change the fact that it's
still difficult to try to cover all of the stories.
We have thousand stories that we could cover tonight from RFK,

(34:00):
like Junior five hundred million taking away five hundred million
in vaccine research, like vaccines are it's important, Like I
love the vaccine, you know what I mean, Like, I
don't want me, I don't want COVID, I don't want
any of these things. And so when all these things

(34:21):
are happening, but we're not even having time because the
air has been sucked out of the room by Trump's antics,
that's where it becomes very concerning, because you would almost
need an army of people to be able to combat
and break through this noise to say, hey, these are
there's these ten things that he did that are actually

(34:43):
all very consequential in addition to the Epstein files, and
we need to direct our attention to this entire list.
So you know, I talked about this with God last night.
God from the Godpod.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
Yeah, I gotta watch that. I have to say, I
didn't know. I'm not deep enough. I'm not as deep
on substrack as I should be, and I did not
know that God was a substract personality. And I was like,
what is what is this bit that's happening? Like I
just saw the advertisement for it, and I was like, Maya,
I know you do comedy, but like I really want
to see how an hour.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
On this goes well. God and I went deep. We
talked about you know, is God on on everybody's side
or just maga sides since they try to claim him
and it looks oh, I think we might have Rick back,
so we could bring him in to do our.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
Do you want to do the rest of the show
up there.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
And I'll just sure hang out. I'm here.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
No, No, it's fine, All right, you missed, you didn't
miss much. We did go over the media matter study
about the Fox coverage do anything you want to add about?
Sort of? We went through how.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
The news moves up.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
These like wacky culture war stories make their way from
the online right all the way up to Fox News
and somehow take up five hours of coverage in a
week finish that.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
They there's a there's an organization inside Fox News called
and Ride with Me folks the brain Room and the
boys in the brain Room, and they're all boys. I
think there's like one woman out of thirty people. They
spend all day long looking for troll shit to turn
into Fox coverage. That's why, you know, instead of talking

(36:26):
about Donald Trump engaging in a cover up to protect
the woman who has his secrets from his relationship with
a child trafficking sex predator, sex predator pedophile. They're gonna
spend seven hours on the danger of Wiccan trans middle
school pickleball athletes or whatever whatever fantasy bullshit they come

(36:49):
up with that day. And by the way, for them,
I don't know if there's any Magas in the Chat tonight.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
They usually are feeling.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
By the way, those people in the Fox room they
and I've known people who worked there, they are the
most contemptuous people about the about the Fox audience and
the Maga bass you've ever imagined. They hate those people.
They hate those people because these guys are all working

(37:18):
in Manhattan and they're all making you know, mid six figures,
and these the people they're tricking every day. They have
nothing but loathing and contempt for those people. Nothing. This
was always like the dirty little secret of Fox, you know,
for you Magus, your buddy Sean Hannity, when he lived
in New York still he lives in Florida now, when

(37:38):
he lived in New York, do you know how he
got to work every day from his home on the
north Shorelong Island, commuted by helicopter, just like the working
man does, just what the common folk do.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
I think that ride. I had to price that out
for someone once. I think it's like forty five dollars.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Oh no, no, he didn't use the blade. He had a
least helicopter. So you know, look nothing.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
The man who can't sit in traffic, Rick, that's one.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Of my superpowers. I've written entire article sitting in traffic
dictating them into my phone.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
I was gonna say, I'm a good Mulda. I can
I can edit videos while I'm at a stock right,
So yeah.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
All right, I also just on Glene Maxwell. I want
to I want to correct the record. I did look
up the Brian facility where she is is near college
station where A and M is, and I would like
to go on record and reiterate strongly that I attended
the University of Texas at Austin and not that hick school.

(38:46):
And he's during the comments come and get me.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
I was like, but make sure you turn off your
Instagram location, Kate, because apparently now anybody can come and
get anybody. Everybody check your location services. I am founding MAGA.
Now I'm like, watch out for big Tech. They're coming
to get us. Sure.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
Yeah, no, everyone in the audience, people my parents' age,
if you are watching Instagram, is going to start broadcasting
your location, you have to turn it off. Call your children.
They will tell you how moving off next. So, there
is really one very important name missing on the subpoenal

(39:30):
list for this Epstein probe that they're doing in Congress,
and that is Alex Acosta. So the House Committee on
Oversight and Government Reform on Tuesday listed former attorneys general,
former FBI director, former President Bill Clinton, and former Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton as people all subjects to subpoenas
formatters tied to Jeffrey Epstein. However, not named in the

(39:52):
news release was Alex Acosta, who was the US Attorney
for the Southern District of Florida, whose secret non prosecution
agreement with Epstein and I want to say two thousand
and six created a spark that has turned into an
inferno of controversy nearly twenty years later. If you watch
any Epstein documentaries and or listen to any victims, they

(40:12):
all cite this deal with alex Acosta. And I'm just wondering,
what reason, Rick, do you think would this committee have
for not including Acosta in Missipinos.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
Because Pam Bondi called them and said, Jesus Christ, he
knows every goddamn thing about this. Don't let him on
the on the set, on the stand, because some Democrat
will ask him, why did you give Jeffrey Epstein, a
guy who was absolutely guilty of having sex with underage

(40:46):
girls and soliciting under your girls as prostitutes and raping
underage girls? Why did you give him one year of
work release where in the work release was in his
personal offices where he had a massage sections set up there,
so we can still continue to abuse young and underage girls. Yeah,
and nobody wants that knowledge. And why did Alex Acosta

(41:11):
mysteriously become the Secretary of Labor in the first Trump administration?
How that deal work out? The whole thing is crooked
as shit. It is crooked, crooked, crooked, and nothing about
it would let out nothing about it. If there's a
single Democrat on the committee that that doesn't ask Alex

(41:33):
Acosta a question, I would be shocked, because he is
one of the keys, one of the Rosetta stones to
this entire scandal, and that he is not going to
be subpoena because Pam Bondi called them and said, oh fuck,
don't do that.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
And I think the through line here is that this
is a party that claims they're about protecting women, but
will do anything but protect women. I was talking about
that with Kate while you were out. Is that they,
you know, just even using Sydney Sweeney to dangle her
in front of the Fox public so that they don't

(42:09):
have to talk about Epstein. It's like women are just expendable.
And I'm waiting for voters, Republican voters to start to
see how expendable their women are, because the victims in
the Epstein case are absolutely horrified by the fact that
Giling was transferred to this club, fed the fact that
about this deal with the cost.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
You notice they're not going to subpoena the victims either.
They're not gonna they're not gonna subpoena of the victims.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
Well, they don't want to hear.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
They don't want to hear it. And they don't want
to hear they don't want to hear the details. They
don't want to hear testimony that will directly contradict the
lies that they have suborned from Gilene Maxwell.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
And one of the charges against Epstein was witness tampering.
I believe it was known witness tampering and we know
that Trump has often been accused of witness tampering as well,
and so again it's very simple, like I don't want
to muddy the waters, and I just wanted to keep
it very simple for people. The Republican Party does not
give a shit about women at all. They don't care

(43:16):
about kids, they don't care about their kids, they don't
care about your kids. They care about power.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
And that is correct.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
That's all you need to know. It's like simple as that.
So we have quite a few stories that we need
to get through.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
Before all, right, here we go.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
This is a this is a to be more catchily
named in the future that I just have in the
outline as rapid fire insanity for tonight. So I'm just
going to run through like a dozen things that have
happened this week that are in any other normal timeline

(43:59):
would be the only story, but now they're sort of
distractions from the bigger story, the Epstein story, the economy,
all of these things. Uh, feel free if anyone needs
to say something about one of these, stop me. But
I'm just gonna run through everything that's happened since we've

(44:20):
last been together. Number one, Trump went on the roof
r Junior cut five hundred million dollars in vaccine funding.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
We're all going to kill us.

Speaker 4 (44:30):
All Trump's blanket tariffs went into effect overnight last night.
Gonna Trump a fourteen carrot gold base for an Apple
plaque after a large government investment. I believe like a
hundred was it one hundred billion or a hundred.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
Million, five hundred billion.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
Waiving the white flag. I'm on a Macie.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
If I were Tim Apple, I were Tim Apple, as
Trump calls him, I would think hard about who my
customers actually are. For the iPhone Promacs sixteen, you know.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
I was surrounded by Apple products.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
I would think hard about here your customers are Tim?
Is it us? Or is it the guy with the
truck nuts and the four Trump flags on the back
of his f one fifty. That's a question.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
Yeah. I feel like they're on a Samsung or a Galaxy.
They're not.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
I feel like they're on Y're watching is yeah? Ryan?
If you're watching, this is your sign you're vindicated. You're vindicated. Ryan,
our friend, Ryan loves Android.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
And Greg and our communications directly, both of you. If
you're listening, you're vindicated.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
Now fine? Fine?

Speaker 3 (45:42):
Yeah, I mean he still can't happen too on an iPhone,
and I think most Android phones are hackable. That's the thing.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
Much more so, Yeah, a lot more vulnerabilities. We're not
nobody's going to hack my Motorola star tacks.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
In Zoolander where they're like the files are in the computer.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Okate, I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
FEMA has a conditioned disaster aid on support for Israel. Basically,
if your state or city boycott's Israel, which like as
far as I understand, is not happening on a city
or state level, you will not get disaster funding from FEMA.

Speaker 3 (46:30):
Again, Okay, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (46:32):
The US government removed sections nine and ten of Article
one of the US Constitution from their website. Those cover
writ of habeas corpus and Congress's ability to control tariffs. Sure,
that's a coincidence.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
So as of tonight they put them back with the
statement read in a way that I interpreted it. It
was a long paragraph, but it basically said, oops, we got.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
Caught, which is it feels like it's overall like that's
what they're trying to do with our rights in general,
like stripped them away and see if we notice, and
then they notice and we pushed back, so we just
got to keep pushing back.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
By the way, I want to loop back on FEMA
for one second, even states that do not have an
anti Israel policy, like Texas, they still have. FEMA has
still not been sent in to fully finish helping the
people in the floods in Texas. How do I know
this because FEMA traditionally deals with the search and rescue
and recovery of remains and people are finding dead bodies

(47:26):
all over the place because FEMA is not there.

Speaker 3 (47:30):
Well, FEMA also didn't they just reallocate was it from FEMA?
They reallocated people.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Towards ICE yep, yep.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
Eventually every department is just going to be iceed, like
they're just going to roll into irs and be like, you're.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
All sure, why not? Fuck it? Why not?

Speaker 3 (47:46):
We'll be ice? What the hell? Sure, that's the meaning
of moving state. We're all we all get to be police. Yay,
cosplay okay next Sorry.

Speaker 7 (47:55):
FBI Director Cash Fattel has grains speaking of Texas, has
grants and quest for the federal government to assist with
locating Texas House Democrats who fled the state in protest
of the GOPID redistricting efforts.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
Anyone want to.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
Try to do a cash hotel like photo. But I
can't make my eyes do that.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Yeah, I can't do it either. He's he's both. He's
like a polly Pocket and a flounder got together and
had sex. No.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
You know what it reminds me of, you know those
scenes in the movies where they put someone's head in avice
and he's like, you're gonna put why out? It's like
somebody did that to him once and then it's.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
Like, fbi la booboo. He has he has zero cause
for this. Zero Why. They have not committed a crime
against the United States. They have not committed a federal crime.
They haven't even committed a fucking crime in Texas. All

(48:57):
the stuff that you're hearing, guys, we're gonna drag him back,
all that bullshit from Paxson and Abbott and now Cash
saying we're gonna find them. They know where they fucking
are because they have. Mag has been calling bomb threats
into their goddamn hotel for two days. I will say this.
I will say this. Republicans used to be the ones
like the federal government must strictly stay out of state business.

(49:20):
Oh really, really, oh really? By the way, some maga
troll was going at me today on one of their
one of their like dumb aggregation platforms, like Rick Wilson
criticized redistricting when he was a Republican. Yes, because many
times Democrats have fucked it up and done it badly

(49:41):
and done it stupidly and not done it properly. And
now this isn't even a redistricting fight, folks, this is
just pure corruption. This isn't looking for a cheat code
to win the twenty twenty sixth election for Donald Trump, so.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
Which again they need that cheat code because he is
so unpopular.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Somebody asked if Steve Bannon was running in twenty twenty
eight only from the law, because.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
Okay, I'm gonna keep going.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Rotten Steve. You're gonna strip off a polo shirt every
half mile and so there's nothing but his glorious mad
meat in the wind.

Speaker 4 (50:27):
Okay, moving on, Trump finished his remodel of the Rose Garden,
using American flags for storm drains as well as the
presidential seal. Also fun fact, the same umbrellas as mar
A Lago. So also started talking about pledge to make
the ballroom over there like.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
The American people asked for patio furniture, and he was like,
I'll give you patio furniture.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
What people are looking for is a solution. Now I
need a young priest and the old priest. The most
JACKIEO has been in my bedroom for several nights. I
thought it was Midaigna because it was a cold, icy
wind that blew. And the vulgarity is now part of
the point, folks. The vulgarity and the hideousness of his

(51:17):
bullshit is now part of the point. The fact that
he wants to build a water park in sportatorium like
warehouse on the east wing of the White House to
put a ballroom in. He's doing it to troll people.
The fact that the Oval office now looks like a
bordello in New Orleans in eighteen thirty five is part
of the trolling. All I can say is.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
You think he's actually going to break ground on this ballroom.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Well, they claim they're going to bypass all the permitting
processes in DC by federalizing DC. They will. They will.
They're going to turn DC over to pollentteer to manage it,
and they'll take over the permitting process so it'll be
approved immediately.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
See the funny thing is Rick, I don't know if
you're joking or not. That's how things are.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
I'm not They're gonna turn it into a freedom city, baby.

Speaker 4 (52:04):
Oh yeah, I'm gonna. I've got like two more on
this list, and then I'll leave you guys with one final.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
Question, and I just want city. Will there be like
an incubator wing Will they'll keep all the women to
incubate the babies?

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Absolutely so, the Bourbon's Habsburg and Romanovs threw up in there. Actually,
what it looks like is that Liberachi and Saddam and
Elvis Presley's decorator got together and got lit on Jaegermeister
and said, let's make the tackiest thing we could possibly do.
More flair, more flair, all.

Speaker 4 (52:39):
Right, rapid fire, two more, all right. Trump ordered the
firing of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erica mcann I'm gonna bursure
this mcan mckinn mcintarfer alleging data manipulation after a bad
July jobs report. And one more. Marjorie Taylor Green says
she's starting to think the g OP is anti woman,

(53:00):
an anti worker. The direct quote, the direct quote was
like that, it was you know that her Republican colleagues
don't treat Republican women well, and that they're supposed to
be the party of the working class and they're not.
She did say they're not doing their job for they're
not representing working class people. Well, I always with all

(53:22):
of that in mind, with resistance, with all of that
in mind, and all of the things that I missed
because I've added during this episode things that I forgot.
I mean, there's so much just.

Speaker 3 (53:35):
In a week.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
How can people out there in you know, watching at home,
how can they make sense of all of this and
parse what counts as something to be worried about and
what is a distraction.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
I like to divide things up into things that are actual,
like the divisive legend that hits at the heart of
who we are as a country. Like if it's being divisive,
I think that's one thing that we need to be
worried about because it affects us on the long term.
But also Rick, and I'm going to let you talk

(54:15):
about this part, but the things that are actually dismantling
our democracy bit by bit like that, to me is
where the real danger is and where we need to
pay attention.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
The most look. I think that's very very on point.
I think that's actually the right way to approach it is,
is what are the consequential things, not what are the
noisiest things. Because Trump has had a lifetime career of saying, oh,
I'm in trouble because I blew something up, and so
I'll blow something else up so you won't look at

(54:45):
the first thing that I blew up. And it's like
one car crash after another. You know, he crashes the car,
jumps into another car, crashes it on and on and on.
But the consequential things, big bad bill, tariffs, those things
are harming Americans actively. So you should pay attention to
some of those because those aren't just Donald Trump. That's

(55:09):
the Project twenty twenty five stuff. That's Russell Vaught and
Stephen miller Ice. That's the pilot fish class swimming along
after Donald Trump's shark doing their own thing. In a
large measure, with Trump, what you should pay attention to
is whatever he tells you not to pay attention to.

(55:29):
When he says something as a hoax, that means it's real.
When he says something is bullshit, that means it's the
gospel truth. When he says something doesn't matter. It certainly matters.
And if you feel particular outrage and a cultural thing
he puts out there, that's bait. You know what. I

(55:52):
haven't said a word about Sidney Sweeney all week because
that's bait. It's bait, it's bullshit, and it doesn't advance,
doesn't advance our assignment to break him mentally and politically
and to win the house back in twenty twenty six.
That's our assignment, folks, that's what we're doing. And any
of it gets in the way of that, I'm going

(56:13):
to ignore it.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
Yeah, And obviously it's human nature guys to those things
that are triggering to our magdala, they want to hijack
our magdala. And then this is why breath work and
meditation is great for this, because you have to learn
to acknowledge the crazy. Like you can say, oh wow,
he was on the roof, Oh wow, he's spending two
hundred million dollars on a ballroom. Oh. You could just say,

(56:35):
oh wow, he's doing that thing and then leave it there.
It doesn't have to become a big story about it,
because the real story is that cuts to Medicare and
medicaid the real story are the communities that are being fractured.
Because community and realizing that we need each other and
that we have to work together, that's what makes the
democracy work in the first place. And so anytime we

(56:59):
get these these and it's tough, it's really really tough,
especially even for Democrats and on the progressive side. We
want to nitpick over this one thing that this person
said and didn't say, and it's like, right now, we're
all in the same boat, and if we cannot focus
on what actually matters, which is stability, economic stability, which

(57:21):
this man is fracturing, and the stability of our communities
and the stability of our families, and the fact that
our children are having to be raised in this where
they have no certain future. Like it used to be
you could do a B, C and then D would follow.
And now our kids are looking around going, oh, you
do AB and then who knows, maybe it's f next.
I don't know. There's nothing predictable about American life right now,

(57:43):
and so that leaves people with a feeling of uncertainty,
which makes them more susceptible to fear and more susceptible
to hate. And so you have to ground yourself in reality,
and that means every single day, just acknowledging the bullshit
that he does because you're going to see it. Oh yeah,
Sydney Si oh yeah, acknowledge it and then let it.

(58:04):
Just like with meditation, you just let it go by,
and then you refocus on the things that you can control,
which making sure you're registered to vote, because they are
fucking with them voter rolls, guys, So check and recheck
if you need.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
If you have troubled registering to vote, go to vote
writers dot org and they have outstanding resources for making
sure that your voter ID situation is lined up properly
and that you're not going to get told at the
DMV or wherever you go to register the or the
registrar's office. Nope, you don't have the right version of

(58:38):
your birth certificate or any that crap.

Speaker 3 (58:41):
So and I would recommend getting a passport if you
can afford to get a passport or a passport card.
Those are cheaper. Those I think they're like twenty five.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
Dollars and those are legitimate identification in fifty states for
voter registration.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
Yeah, so make sure because there will be elections again,
everybody who was it. They wouldn't be tinkering them with
them so much if they.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
They wouldn't be so desperate to to to cheat on
this redistricting. If they didn't think they were going to
be an election in twenty six now in twenty eight.
That's a whole separate story. That's why it's so important
that Lincoln's mission in twenty six carries forward and we
win these House seats, because if we do have a
Republican majority in twenty twenty eight, they will not certify
a Democratic president even if they win. Big let this go. No, No,

(59:27):
we're not, We're not doing it.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
I was trying to end on the hope full let's
come together, and y.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
I'm a race.

Speaker 3 (59:37):
But you're one hundred percent right, Rick, you are. You're
on right.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
Anytime, anytime I take the darkest scenario in my head,
it comes true.

Speaker 3 (59:47):
Well, this is why I'm trying to put on our
vision board a healthy multiracial democracy. And so they if
they could put Project twenty twenty five on their vision
board and make it come to be, they could capture
the and they could do all those things. I think
it's time we start pushing some really cool stuff onto
our vision board.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
Yeah. Yeah, like in my pintrest page, Donald Trump eaten
by wolves.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
I wolves are very big and very hungry.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
They are hungry. All right, those, we've runted out another
hour of your valuable time.

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
Yes, we are so grateful though that you spend.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Always, always, always. It's been a big week this week.
I traveled three days this week. I am happy to
be home and uh and and going to do some
writing tonight and then do some writing tomorrow, and.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
Yeah, some relaxing too. We want, I want you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):

deadline of November first for some b o OK related items,

We will talk to you all later week next week.

Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
Nothing to do and sting n
