Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bang here with me to day and the Prime Minister.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
They get a great drag. You know they've been trying
to make that deal for twelve years.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
When we got again, everybody, everybody is back, it's gonna
be a lot of yas.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
For great bread. I'm not again, what's up?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Rick, Just letting everybody know that all shows will now
be proceeded with the bagpipe so low if you don't like.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I speak fluent bagpipe, and I believe those bagpipes were
saying fuck you Donald Trump over and over.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yes, that that is exactly what they were saying in
uh in ancient Gaelic.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
If that is what it's.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Uh, it's it's oh my camera's doing that automatic tracking
thing again. Damn it. I hate that.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
That's actually fun though, because it makes its dance. It's
like swagsurfing. Do you remember when there was sweat? And
I think that's what really pissed off Maga Republicans. They
were like, no, there will be no swagsurfing or black people.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
They they have a lot of hatreds, they have they
have a lot of hatreds.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, the Night Right, nobody watched that. Wait, we'll be
dancing soon once that's in the new.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
White House vulgar sportatorium, water slide, uh day, spa, and
ballroom complex that Donald Trump wants to tear down the
fucking East Wing and build a ninety thousand square foot which,
by the way, ninety thousand square feet is the size
of a football field. M that doesn't work. You're going
(01:55):
to destroy the symmetry of the White House by installing
this monstrosity, this vulgarity. And I I, for the love
of God, do not understand why this man is so
obsessed with everything being covered in gold leaf and looking
like Liberachi splooged all over every surface. It's just insane.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Well, I think if he's going to actually kill them,
he has to like destroy it.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
It's like Liberaci splooge. I'm done, Wilson, I'm done. I'm
calling hr.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I'm just like, I'm gonna ignore the splooge word. But
it's it's it's entirely too much gold. And it's like
he's structurally ruining the White House while also.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Uh like morally, metaphysically, politically, legislatively in every other dementia.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, and and this is what this is what when
when we say elections have consequences, we mean that there
will be a ballroom made.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And as you as you guys have already seen in
the Oval office, his taste is is like Saddam, only
more vulgar.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And I don't know if anybody in his base is
going to look at this and say, Wow, that's money
that could go towards anything else, like literally anything else.
There is a difference between you know, when you have
the conversation with like a kid, and you're like, there's
a difference between wants and needs. Right now, you may
want Donald Donald, you may want a ballroom, you may
really want it, But do you need a ballroom? Do you? People?
(03:27):
Is it what the people need?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Donald Trump wants that ballroom so we can sit up
on the stage and DJ from his iPad playing Y
M C A.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Oh god, that's what it is. Gonna get that image
out of my It's gonna happen, and he's.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Gonna be wearing He's gonna be wearing leather pants and
a tight span Dex and a tight spandex tank top
and covered in glitter.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I'm mad at you for this.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Listen. I'm like a vichy motherfucker's and I'm gonna about
to rock this House with another edition of Total Eclipse
of the Sun.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I'm back, Okay, don't We're not going to do this
the whole night. We were just having fun through a
little bit cake something.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Something something I might not all know about Rick is
that Rick is like kind of a base head.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I kind of aim.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I was on a work trip with you. I was
on a workshrip with you in Florida. We got in
the car to like go to dinner, and you pull
up SoundCloud on your phone and like imposing in the
in the front seat.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I'm like, what is happening right now? Well then, okay,
let's just all get a ballroom and dance together. We're
just going to dance our way out.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Of the of the fascist hellscape in which we are
all currently trapped.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
All right, I think you into our first into our
first segment for the evening. Yes, it's time to talk
about Trump's trip to Scotland. He was a bunch of protests,
which is the coll open you guys saw tonight. He
was drowned out by bagpipes when the press came and
he had this crazy press conference which we'll show you
(05:06):
guys a little bit of, and I'll let you guys,
break down what all is in here?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Really, we'll have a pardon for Glen and Maxwell and Landed.
Is that something you would ever consider it a pardon
for whom?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Maxwell?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Well, I'm allowed to give her a pardon. I'm not
a drawing person. I don't do drawings of women. That
I can tell you. They say there's a drawing of
a woman, and I don't do drawings of women. They
can easily put something in the files, that's the phony.
They can put things in the file that are faith.
I never had the privilege of going to his island.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Can we break that down just for a second, for
a second. You know what things I've never said. I've
never had the privilege of going to an Iraqi torture center.
I've never had the privilege of going to a South
American drug lab. I've never had the privilege of going
to Jonestown during a cult sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Who says that the fact that it was at the
forefront of his brain like that that was the first
word that came out that he didn't correct himself, Like
I wish I could have seen the other people in
the room, because somebody had to WinCE, somebody had to
go oh not that.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Somebody had to have a moment where they went X
nay on the Epstein Hey.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
On the I mean island right to not just come
out and say I will not give this woman a pardon,
this eight sex trafficker, a convicted sex traffickers, a.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Sex trafficker, but the woman who ran Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile
sex trafficking ring. I mean we we gotta we gotta
like call it for what it is and and and
the nature of trump. I can do it. I mean
I'm allowed to do it. That tells you, folks, he's
(06:55):
already like ninety nine percent of the way there. Yeah,
that tells you he's already like almost finished planning how
to how to pardon her. He is, he is transparently
obvious in this one.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
And if this is a way to avoid talking about
the Epstein files, this is not the way to do it.
And this is coming in the you know, within a
week of the South Park episode, Like this is not
how you take the heat off by saying things like oh, as.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
A fellow sets trafficker, I feel for her, I wish
her well.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
He wishes her well, and in I sported goodness. If
democrats do not pounce on this because I already feel
that the heat is coming off a little bit. And
I understand that there's a lot going on, and we're
going to get into a lot of it tonight. But
it is very easy to just every time you say
Trump's name, say the man who is definitely in the
Epstein files, the man.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Who said he was friend, Yeah, Jeff's best friend. That's it,
that's it.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Eyes on the price, come on.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Eyes on the eyes on the damn price. And honestly,
my I mean, look the Scotland trip, he was really
trying to change the subject, and and everything now in
Trump's world is about changing the subject. And it is
incumbent upon both the Democratic Party and every human being
who wants to not have this guy get away with
(08:19):
it to say those words, you are a sex trafficker
who was best friends with a pedophile. And and you
know when he came out this week and said Jeffrey,
I got angry with him because he's stile Virginia Gifrey
from me.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Also, like what an insane thing he stole her?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Like she's what property?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Property?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, sattle slavery is still a thing. I mean, I
know some of his people would like that.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
But honestly, no, in his mind, that's the worst thing
that you can do is steal someone else's employee, right,
And so the fact that he views he has ownership
over his over his employees like that. It's not the
sex trafficking that's bad. It's not the fact that he
was accused of all these cruns and was about to
(09:08):
go on trial. No, it's not that. It's that he
stole my employees. And this is again, like the window
has shifted when we talk about the Overton window. Is
there even a window anymore?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
The Overton window is so far in the rear view
now that I don't even know what to say about
it anymore. Because this guy, Interestingly, my one point that
I've noticed the other day, Donald Trump at the time
had thousands of employees in his golf clubs and his
condo buildings, in his real estate development buildings. Does he
(09:43):
suddenly remember the one girl who was a fourteen year
old towel girl in his spa at mar A Lago.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Good fucking point, Rick.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
How does he remember her suddenly? Very I mean, the
consciousness of guilt here, folks, is screaming out at you,
hitting you in the face, like this madness.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
And the fact that he always goes he tries to
distract from bad with also bad because he's in Scotland
doing personal business mixed with U somehow, Like how much
are the taxpayers having to pay for this? Like he's
cutting a ribbon at what?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Like? Yeah, I mean look this, this trip at the
low boundary. According to two estimates I saw just traveling,
just the planes and the Secret Service just moving them
over there was ten million dollars. Okay, I mean it's
(10:41):
nice golf. Nice of your your own private golf club
that you own in Scotland that the taxpayers paid a
cut for you to commute to.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Is there anyone keeping a tally the Trump tally? Like
we need to have like one of those like running
thermometer type things that just.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Show I'm sure if anybody is keeping a tallly, but
man that that that would like a trip a trip
meter for this guy because the uber bill is way
up there, folks.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah, and again, this is all at a time when
the average American family is struggling. They're wondering howking out
budget of you know, student loans are going up, they're
limiting student loans and what people could take out like
things are happening in the American economy where the people
are starting to buy things ahead of time because they
(11:28):
know that prices are going to increase. This is absolutely insane, bonkers,
how in your face brazen he is now with the
corruption like this is something that normally somebody would want
to hide the fact that they're just doing Oh.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
No, he is a He is a man bereft. He's
a man bereft of fucks when it comes to the corruption.
He just doesn't care.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
It's up to us to care a lot, like so much.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And folks, if I may make the point for the
eight hundredth time, reason number seven hundred and ninety seven
that we need to win in the fall of twenty
six is to make sure that he is held to
account for doing this shit.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yeah, and that's harder, and it's going to be even
harder now that Texas decided to call a special session
that was supposed to address they supposed to be about
the flooding, right like Texas was like the flooding. We
got to get together the flooding of all of these
people who are trying to vote for having representation in
(12:29):
their districts apparently is the flooding that they were trying
to curb. And so Ricky did a great He did
an essay on it.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I wrote a piece, I did a straight to camera
on it. Because the idea in the minds of our
Democratic friends that are like, oh, we must issue a
sternly worded letter and condemned this. No, no, no, you
must get California and New York and Washington and Oregon
in Illinois to get their legislatures in a special emergency
(13:01):
session and do the same thing. You have to fight
fire with fire, Democrats, if you just go and wring
your hands and go, oh, this is so awful, they
will take this advantage and they will run with it.
This is what they do. This is all They want
(13:21):
to retain power at all costs. And anybody who doesn't
think for even a second that these people aren't laughing
their ass off at Democrats sort of like flailing about
this is mistaken. They love this shit. They're a build.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Well, because they know they can count on Democrats doing
the right thing right, they can count on Democrats trying
to hold the line on what our democracy is.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
And if the Democrats, well, that would be an example
how dare we take advantage of that?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, and it's it's very frustrating. I understand the instinct, right,
I understand. These are the maps here, this is look
at that is that the tiny blue like that you can.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Bear see Here's I just have a reminder for people
in South Africa. They compressed African communities into the tightest
possible areas. It was called apartheid. Now this isn't quite
the same legal definition as apartheid, but they have now
compressed African, American and Hispanic district so far down into
(14:29):
these tiny little fragments that you've you've built five more
Republican seats.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
It is and it's maps like this that disempower people
and that make people walk away from democracy. It's looking
at this and going, well, what's the point. And that's
what they want to do. They want to people to
be disengaged and in texasces and redistricting so that people
who were originally representing their district are settling no longer
(14:58):
even living in their district, which is uh what the
case is for Jasmin Crockett and Rick Like I have
to say, I do as the same before, Like I
understand the instinct to want to preserve the last little
bits of civility that may exist. But don't I understand
that instinct.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, here, here's what that instinct leads everybody. It leads
to the Republicans cheating their way into a majority this year,
when they're going to next year, when they're going to
get beat if they don't cheat.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yeah, and twenty twenty six is crucial as like kind
of mission critical, as you mentioned, Rick, like, if we
don't get the house.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Folks, this is all the proverbial marbles, y'all.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, So all.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Texas, I just wanted to jump in and give you
a couple of numbers from that map. Yep, that would
all but guarantee five seat loss for Democrats in Congress
from Texas right now, uh coop seats and thirteen Democratic
seats in the state. In the state of Texas after
the redistricting, it will be thirty GP leaning seats and
(16:04):
eight Democrat leaning seats.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Now, I've questioned, if they have so much of a
mandate already, if their policies are so popular, if everybody
loves them across the board, why why the need, why
they need to redistrict, why they need to jerry mander
because everybody loves what Trump's doing, right, He's surging because you.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Have identified the key point here. Donald Trump is deeply
unpopular in the country Republicans. I mean, yes, the Democrats
have shitty numbers, folks, but among independents, Republicans have numbers
as bad as the Democrats. And if you add up
Democrats and independence, the Republicans are in more trouble than
(16:48):
they than they appear to be. And so they're desperate
and they're panicky, and they should be because they're doing
things that are assertively harming this country.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Can we unpack a little bit about what it means
that people are upset with Democrats because I feel like
people are upset with Democrats in a different way than
people are angry about Trump's policies. Like to me, oh yeah,
like upset with Democrats because they're not fighting hard enough.
Upset with Democrats because they can't get together with one
party line and run with it. I think, yeah, it's
frustration that they're not fighting hard enough for their constituents,
(17:22):
not that they're upset with their values or what they
want for the country.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
That's that maya you've hit it exactly on the head,
is yes, a lot of Democratic voters would like more
fight in the party. That's a real thing. A lot
of Democratic voters would like more charismatic leaders out front.
That's a real thing.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Younger leaders.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yes, Chuck Schumer, please just just do the right thing. Walk,
go out on the ice floe, wait for the white bear.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I'm like, don't just walk, run, trot whatever you can
still do.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
But we're in this moment where we're an awful lot
of people frustrated with the Democratic Party. Are are Democrats,
And it's not because they want to adopt Maga policies
or Maga philosophies. It's because they don't see the leadership
of the party fighting hard enough for them. When the
Lincoln Project people fight harder than your own party. There's
(18:19):
a reason why Democrats call us on the phone a lot, y'all.
And I mean, we we try to do our part
for democracy, but we get a lot of phone calls
because the national Party is like, how dare we? We
can't we can't step outside the lines that are carefully
painted by the Republicans.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
So I think there are no more lines anymore. That's like,
I mean, they have literally changed the playing field, and
so it is frustrating for me because I get to
see a lot of the messaging that comes through directly
from the DNC, and I see it and I'm like, Okay, guys,
it's actually this should actually be a lot easier than this.
We can look at what Republicans are doing and say
that's clearly not working for the country. Point this out.
(18:58):
But then we need to have a viable vision, like
there needs to be something that people can grab onto
other than their hate and disdain for what Trump is doing,
because right now everybody's like, okay, well, then what's the plan,
Like they have the product twenty twenty five, what do
we have? What is the plan to get us there?
And what can people do on a day to day basis,
because right now, everybody on a day to day basis
is just seeing rights get stripped away. They're just seeing
(19:21):
people being terrorized in the streets, and it's becoming more
and more demoralizing. If we don't have a strong like
this isn't a time. I feel like everybody's posturing for
like who's gonna run and who's gonna do this?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
And I wish they'd stop. I wish they would stop.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Like, don't go get together in a fucking room and
work it out. Figure out a platform that's gonna work
for whoever it ends up being, and then fucking do
the work.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Sorry, if you have the message that we have a
message that on that unwinds this cultural war bullshit, the
Republicans have been triumphant on invert the problem on them.
By the way, I have a piece of free advice
for candidates gain. I wore game this line with a
the Democratic candidate over the weekend, and when he was
his question was like, they're hitting me on the trans stuff.
(20:06):
I'm listen. I want you to look at your opponent
square in the eye and say, you seem really fascinated
with trans people. I don't care about your search history
on your computer, but your interest in trans people goes
way beyond the number that are in sports, or in
or in society. And and look, I'm sure there are
websites that will satisfy your curiosity. So you know you've
(20:29):
clearly had a lot of research about this, and like,
just get into that little thing that Republicans hate when
you ask when, when you when the The number one
thing these maga guys go crazy on is is when
you question them in that space where suddenly they're like,
I'm a very robust heterosexual man may with a wide stance.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
No, Rick, that is perfect counsel. That is the exact
thing that should be said, because anything else just accept
that's the premise that that somehow trans people in sports
is a huge problem that's worthy of addressing. And I
see Democrats making this misstep over and over again. Pete
Bodha Jedge did it recently, and I see people coming
in and it's like, hey, you know what, this isn't
(21:14):
going to do bring it in more people to the party.
You think somehow by jumping on the trans women shouldn't
be in sports thing is going to bring more people
into the Democratic Party. You think that's going to help
you in votes. You think that all of a sudden,
somebody who believes that is going to go, oh, okay,
well you know what, I'll leave behind everything else maga
and jump on over to the Democrats because you were
(21:35):
willing to throw trans people under the boss. I don't
fucking think.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
So it doesn't. But the whole thing about this, and
I was really pondering this, it's like one of the
reasons that male MAGA politicians who you will also folks
see very frequently these days. Any Google search will show
you they seem to be getting picked up for child
porn and pild abuse all the freaking time. Didn't, right,
(22:00):
but it is there. There's something about the transition in
particular that is in that weird, repressed, maga sexual thing.
And you know, they really really hate trans people, I
think because they really really questioned things about themselves.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Oh absolutely. And I think they questioned the fact that
they're attracted to trans people. We see the Google search,
I think when they did like the Google word cloud
search or what like that.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Like transport the biggest Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah, And I think it's pretty obvious. It's like, Hi, by,
this is great, Rick.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
I wanted to bring up something really poignant that I
that I heard you say on Chris Matthews's sub stack
the other night, where you said there are more known
victims of Jeffrey Epstein walking around right now than there
are trans high school athletes.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yes, that's fact, It's absolutely right. And and this is
a thing like when you dedicate that much attention and
so many resources towards a non problem, and then you
respond to that non problem as if it's an actual
problem worthy of like of discussion, and don't.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
And if you don't push it back onto them, they
will keep doing it. Which is why, which is why
I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna tune that answer up
a little more because it really is like and the
line that I that I use it, I say, just
look at it. I want you to like skunk guy,
this Republican guy, just and go, I don't want to
look at your browser history. I don't care, but you're
(23:34):
clearly fascinated. And I'm sased. Well.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
And it's also the control factor, right, And I think
what people are starting to realize now, what what Republican
leadership and fascist leadership looks like, is you get one
option on how to be. Eventually we will have one
radio station and we will have one like. And so
this idea that trans people have a choice or choose
to express their gender how they want to is a threat.
(24:01):
That's why fascists immediately go after the LGBTQ community and
anybody who knows anything about fascism. I mean, you just
go look at the Nazi Party. They were the ones
who destroyed much of the research on trans people. And
so to me, it's very very obvious that Democrats keep
falling and falling for this, uh, this line and need
(24:23):
to stop because it's and I feel like the one
Democrat who seems to do well with this is Pritzker.
He seems to always and maybe it's because he has
fuck you money, Like maybe that's what it takes sometimes
is to have so much money in your personal bank
account that you can actually just say you can.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You can, you can, you can express your lack of
fucks eloquently.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
But but you know this this goes to a broader
question too. Democrats keep asking like, you know, should we
keep talking about Epstein? Yes? Or should we talk about
the economy? Also? Yeah, also yes, you can walk into gum.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah, and right now you need to walk into and
gum playing tennis. Like all of the things that need
to be done, they need serious multitaskers.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
And one more, one more observation about this. The the
Republican trade off last year was yeah, he's gonna fuck
everything up, but but you won't have any trans athletes. Okay, great, Well,
if you accepted that premise, then you're then you're you're
(25:33):
your bandwidth for what you cared about as an American
is extremely narrow and fucked up. But there was also
that assumption that he was going to fix the economy.
Yet out in the country right now, people are scared shitless.
They do not feel confident in the economy. The the
Dow and the stock market are doing great, they're banging
(25:54):
away because it's disconnected from the real economy. It is
not the real economy. I had a great talk with
Scott Galloway today about how there's such a wide divergence
between the markets where seven companies make up like seventy
percent of the value in this country, and real people's lives,
(26:15):
which right now are kind of fucked. You know, gas
is more expensive, groceries are still expensive. Rent has gone
up since Trump became president, shocking, and all of it,
you know, comes down to a place where Democrats can
make multiple track arguments. Yes, Trump is a terrifying, horrible,
degenerate criminal who also fucked up your economy and hurt
(26:37):
your life, and whose big bill is going to take
away your health insurance.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah. I feel like people really need a lesson and
cause and effect, and that's what's truly missing and part
of the responsibility. I feel that the media needs to do.
Journalists need to do is start shifting what we define
how we define success. Right, Like, I think about the
fact that when I graduated college housing in Chicago, I
(27:06):
think I paid for with my roommates. We had a
four bedroom for sixteen hundred dollars in the Rigleyville neighborhood.
And at the time, yeah, yeah, four bedroom and it
came with a housekeeping every two weeks. Who was a
beautiful apartment marvel, you know, countertops, that whole thing. And
my salary, my starting salary was forty two thousand dollars.
(27:26):
Now this was in nineteen ninety nine, nineteen ninety nine.
Now flash forward to twenty twenty five. Starting salaries are
still roughly around forty two forty five thousand dollars. But
housing is so you can't say that, oh my god,
this the economy is doing great when people who are
graduating college right now are probably having a room with
(27:48):
like ten people or just move home.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, it is not. This is not This is not
an economy built for humans right now. Now, if you're
you're getting awarded as meta for saying we're going to
create this gigantic supersized data center, but we're also firing
most of our programmers because of AI.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
And I'm glad you brought up AI because that it's
it's actually terrifying how many entry level jobs are going
to disappear over the next decade due to AI and
nobody is ready for it. And you've got Peter Til's
like that. I've never seen somebody be so dominant and
have a company that's so dominant and also still managed
(28:35):
to lurk in the shadows, right, Like we all talk
about Peter Tiel. That nobody really talks about Peter Teal
because I think wasn't he the one who funded.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Suit against Gawker?
Speaker 3 (28:47):
People are afraid, Like even I have a video sitting
in my drafts about Peter Teel. We're at the end
of it. I'm like, you're not here, are you? Are
you in my computer right now? Peter?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Probably?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Well that's the thing, right, Hi, Kate, Hi?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
No?
Speaker 4 (29:02):
And what a wonderful transition to the sort of.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
I was doing it. Yeah, Yeah, the.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Unholy alliance of jd Vance and Peter Till.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
We had a piece this week.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Oh, we had a piece this week about that that
I want to play and then we'll get into the discussion.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Oops, Donald, you thought you sent jd Vance to talk
to Rupert Murdoch about stopping the Epstein story. Well that
didn't work. But there's something you should worry about, Donald,
something you should think about. What if jd Vance cuts
a deal with Rupert? Maybe jd Vance and Rupert figured
(29:45):
out the succession who comes after you and they don't
want to wait. Maybe they talked about when to start
the twenty fifth Amendment process to take you out. You
should have sent on Junior or someone else if you
could trust, because you know jd Vance will tell anybody
(30:06):
whatever it takes to get what he wants. And Rupert
he won't just listen to jd He'll take action. And
if jd and Rupert get their way, he'll lose Donald,
He'll lose everything.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
By the way, just so our viewers know that ad
is going up in Bedminster, where he will be this
weekend on the Golf Channel and at the White House.
We're narrow casting the ad because part of what we
need to do right now, folks, is keep punching Trump
in the face, keep the paranoia up, keep the satisfaction low,
(30:55):
and play that game where that we play better than
anybody else in the audience of one. And you know
there's a reason he mentioned the Lincoln Project is stupid
lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch. He said, a known anti Trump group.
I'm like, bitch, we've been around five years. We'd better
be a known anti Trump.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Known for getting under your skin, for.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Fucking you up.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
That's That's exactly what I was gonna say. It was
like Dad's running and we're running it if he's gonna
see it. But I wanted to ask the question because
I hear this question a lot from people, which is like,
are they going to try and oust him?
Speaker 3 (31:30):
And over under on it? What's the over.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Under on one? How would something like that work? So
this is like, is JD plodding on Trump? And if
he is, which we assert he is, what what does
that look like? And is that possible? Because people ask
all that.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Look, it's a high hill, it's very difficult to do.
But it's a cabinet vote, y'all. It's one vote of
the cabinet.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I thought you were gonna say it's a big mac
too many.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Well, yeah, JD, Like, no, mister president, it's not wrong
to eat three filo fish trimole would you like some
tot of sauce with thatsa it's heavily maynaised.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Like this is a cocktail made with duck fat, which was.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
Like, it's all the rage, you know, but but but
but there are people in the tech world who believe jd.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Vance is their guy, their boy for crypto, for AI,
for deregulation, for tax cuts, because he is one of them.
Peter Teal was his boss. He worked for a Peter
Teal head or investment bank or a venture capital fund.
And and in all this, Trump is a lot of
(32:51):
overhead for them, a lot of chaos for them. These
guys want certitude, they want simplicity. And you know what,
can you imagine a day where Vance becomes known to
be plotting the twenty fifth Amendment, but it just doesn't
appear on Twitter and there are no news stories appear
about it on Fox News and it just happens.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
So I Rick, That's what I see very much so,
and I'm curious what you think about because you mentioned
Trump's chaos, and to me, he serves that purpose for them,
so that Peter Thiele can do the things he needs
to do in darkness, so that all of these the
amount of surveillance that's starting to happen. I mean the
like there is zero we had zero privacy anymore. Like
(33:35):
I was just at the air zerol, Like there's biometric
screening that's happening when you exit the country, Like those
are starting to go up everywhere. They were already testing
in some airports. But we're talking like just they're in
all of our data. And I'm wondering if Trump's serving
as this great distraction in many ways. So and once
(33:56):
they're done kind of getting you know, the hit that
Miles Stone on their project of making sure they have
all of their data put together, and they're making their databases,
and once they're almost there, that's when they pull the trigger.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Look, I think they're closer than we would like and
closer than we think, and they'll get total obedience from
Jade Vance. Jd Vance is a complete beta. He will
bow down to those people and say, yes, tech overlords,
raise me into the cloud.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Well he's malleable too, That's exactly JD Vance.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Jd Vance, because of all his bullshit, has had to
try to like consistently reinvent himself time and time and
time and time again. Well, part of that is being
submissive to people who are his peer and peer plus
people around him. Yeah, so he will. He will switch
code switch so fast on that stuff and be their guy.
(34:56):
And frankly he would get what they wanted with less
friction and in some cases than Trump because Trump, Like,
I don't know what the crypto is. I like it
money from the coin. It's the coin like with my
face on it, but it really exists in my imagination
much like my penis.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Anyway, I'm like shorting out.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Came in, hr just came.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I'm gonna be a lyne in but tonight, like that
image is gonna pop into my head. Oh hi, Kate,
She's like, I have some forms you need to fill out,
Like I'm sorry. But he's like Plato though, JD Van
Oh yeah, oh yeah. But you know when you play
with Plato, like for I don't know, maybe you don't play.
You know, if you play with it too long and
(35:46):
it get starts to get like gross and cracked and hard,
I feel like that's that's JD Vance Like, eventually.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah, there's there's there's not a lot of there there
with j D. Honestly, there's not a lot of actual
reality to jd Vance.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
They could just imprint on him.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Right and look, the idea of him becoming president sooner.
I think probably appeals to those guys for a really
simple reason, Why not have jd Vance for two years
then for eight?
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Please don't do this right now, Rick, I don't. I can't.
I can't, Okay, Okay, all right now, now we're gonna
stay with I need to live somewhere in the region
of like it's possible that they're all just gonna go
away and we're gonna have our democracy back intact, our
courts intact.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Within five Welcome to Rick Wilson's horror after doc World,
where JD Vance and Laura Lumer create an army of
clone children in the tank.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Every dystopian thing is happening right now, Like I have
to rewatch all the Dystopian movies because I'm like, this
is where we're at. We haven't had a I did
watch Matrix part of Matrix on the plane again, and
I was like, please, somebody plug me into a different reality.
Like I just need to unplug this one and find
me a different matrix. Plug me into that one, right.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I want the Matrix where it's like where it's like
mid eighteenth century England right now, not mid twenty fifth
century dystopian mad Max, radioactive healthscape covered with mutants. See,
that's where all decided from Steve Bannon.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
That's where you and I differ. My daughter always asked me,
would you ever want to try and travel? I would
want to go back to the sixth I was like, what, Eve,
I'm like, have you looked at us? Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Like?
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Oh, no, to the future and beyond, Like that's the
only place I'm goingooh.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Well, the future of the future of this show is
what's next, Kate, I'm off track.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
I can get us back.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
Let's see, let's let's do a brief aside for this.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
They are pointing a side that is, they are okay,
so there's fat.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
So my son, my son Don Jr. Little known fact
if you were lost in the wilderness, his left nipple
is a compass. It points north at all times. Sometimes
the freaky watching it move back and forth. But it's true.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
All right, anyway, I can have lived my life.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
I've got I've got so much brain poison.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
I'm gonna I.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Have been I've been talking guys today, I've been talking
for like the last ten hours of interviews and phone calls.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
And good stuff for us.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
And donor calls. I'm punching.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
You're like, we're rolling out a new line of bras
can we can we have march like.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Donald Trump Jr. And these and these special move poster
also has a pocket in the center. It's waterproof and
it zips up and it comes with its own straw.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
You know, if you're tired of talking, I can just
mute you.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
But then we wouldn't hear great things like coke.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
All right, all right, I'm introduced, and then you don't
and then you don't have to talk for the rest
of the day. And I prefer if you did it.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
I want he makes me laugh.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
Todd Blanche, Trump's former personal attorney and the current Deputy
Attorney General, down to Tallahassee to visit Gallaine Maxwell in
prison to you know, see what she knows they do
how you know, little talkie talk And she has been
asked to testify before Congress and is set to appear
(39:51):
the week of August eleventh. So, with all of that
being said, with Trump's personal defense attorney going down to
visit Gallaine, it feels like to me, what are sort.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Of it would be a shame, Glaine if you became suicidal, right,
So I would not put that past him.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
The best and worst faith interpretations of you know what
went down in that meeting, with the motivation for it
happening was, and what we can well, we can expect
to see next out of that world.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Well, Rick, here's the thing. The Justice Department is supposed
to serve America.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
In America, Oh oh, you sweet summer child.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
That's what I was told growing up. It was somehow
supposed to serve, you know, enforcing our laws. I didn't
know that it was supposed to serve our president, like
specifically the president, specifically his needs as opposed. There we
go with the wants and needs, like he wants, he needs,
(41:03):
but what are the people? And so that's what this
does to, you know, people who are saying that, oh,
our courts are lost. Everything's lost now, and it doesn't
look good. It's not a good look when we have
our DJ involved in what appears to be apt like
a little bit of bribing, a little bit of back
room but in the open.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Yeah, look, his flight to Tallahassee as the Deputy Attorney
General of the United States and folks. As much as
I've been punching and silly tonight, this is deadly serious.
There is no other logical explanation, especially given his very
close relationship with Julane Maxwell's attorney. They're friends, they've been
(41:48):
on podcasts together. Their buddies. They they're they're they're they're
they're running buddies, they're hanging out. There's no question in
my mind that Todd blanche took off his DJ had
when he walked in that room and put on his
Donald Trump personal attorney hat and said, listen, it's a
tough thing to pardon you, but you know, if you
(42:09):
do the right thing and come clean on Bill Clinton
and George Soros and Bill Gates and blah blah blah
blah blah, Yep, we could we could see you. We
could I could see you walking free. I could see
you getting a pardon. But at the end of the term,
but you know, you know, somewhere in there and and.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
Remember, she's a sociopath, like this is a bad human being.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
She's a she's a roaring sociopath. You know, Today we
did an interview with a reporter named Vicky Ward, who
I'm sorry, Julie Brown, Sorry, I've got my I've got
my Epstein reporters backwards. We did a reporter with with
Julie Brown from the Miami Herald, who talked about the
(42:55):
things in these filings about Julane. It's nightmare fuel, It's bad.
He is a monster. He is the person who recruited
and trained and then herself sexually assaulted these underage girls.
They ain't funny. And it's not that he sent Blanche
down there to spring her basically brought our goddamn gift
(43:18):
basket of some kind. Is an affront to the victims
at a level that makes me just absolutely lose my shit.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
I know, it's completely disgusting, and it just tells you
where our discourse is at right now that that is
even something that they would do in the open, wide
open for people to see, Like this is stuff that
you would think they'd want to keep quiet because it's
that it should be that disgusting to their base, Like
the people who were like release the Epstein files. The
idea that Trump would even say I'm allowed to pardon
(43:47):
her should be the thing that would infuriate every single
right wing podcaster who was screaming Epstein files that We're
going to release the Epstein files and the cabal and
blah blah blah. Yeah, all of that, Like all of
those people should be furious. And I don't know, maybe
there's been too much of a distraction with his trip
to Scotland and the redistrict.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Nobody's distracted Donnie. By the way, we have a somebody
in the chat who's like, oh, well, if Trump was
in there, they would have been released during Biden. The material,
if I may be as kind as I can if
you pay attention to the timeline, was not available until
(44:26):
late twenty twenty four. And there's a little difference between
Trump and Joe Biden is that Joe Biden's Department of
Justice was not an adjunct of the White House. Joe
Biden's Department of Justice was an independent agency. And as
those materials got turned over after the death of Epstein
from the trial side and the court side, they were
(44:48):
taken to DOJ and they weren't processed, they weren't examined
in it. They didn't send a thousand FBI agents to
see if Donald Trump was in those files. You know
who did do that? Donald Trump did that. What happened
the minute they did that, and they started finding Trump
in those files. That's when the cover up started. That's
when Susie Wiles called Pambondi and said, clean this up.
(45:08):
That is I'm told that is the exact phrase that
was used, clean this up. And that's when the cover
up started. So Aaron Michael Daily, thanks for your question,
but spurious, this is a cover up. This material wasn't
available to them during twenty twenty four. If it had been,
it still would not have leaked because again, the Justice
(45:30):
Department then were not solely on earth to be Donald
Trump's personal attack squad.
Speaker 3 (45:37):
I think that needs to be I'm so glad that
you said that and that you addressed that question, because
that needs to be shouted, like to the mountains, across
the sea, like across the country, because people seem to
be forgetting. Like once again, it's like having the conversation
is just even premised on the idea that's an okay
thing for them to do, Like this is we've reached
(45:57):
a point of insanity with right with what's being allowed
in the amount of money again, Like I just keep
going back to the fact that people are struggling right now, sure,
and the amount of resources that are being used to
try to enable and keep this man in power. Is
(46:19):
just it's it shouldn't reach everybody. I don't want to
be in a concert, right you know.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
Here, here's the thing, Aaron, you are clearly and I
mean this in the nicest way. A guy who was
dropped on his head by his mother too many times
under no circumstances was the DNC in the Department of
Justice with Joe Biden. Because the Department of Justice then
was staffed by career professionals who are not partisan politicians,
(46:45):
many of whom were held that many of whom were
there were still there from the Bush era. They're not
a bunch of partisan hacks. That's the fantasy and the
projection in your mind. What the Department of Justice today
is a political attack arm of Donald Trump. What it
was then was a professional, independent department. And again you
(47:07):
are mistaken. The files were not there until after the
Epstein matter, was after his death, and the courts turn
those files back to DJ. This is not a question
mark Powell, and I know you really desperately don't want
to believe that Donald Trump was part of Jeffrey Epstein's
pedophile rapering. I know you desperately want to believe that.
But Donald Trump has a long history. On the Howard
(47:29):
Stern Show, he says, my lowest age is twelve. On
The Howard Stern Show, when they call him a sexual predator,
he laughs and smiles and then chakes his head like okay.
He talks about wanting to fuck his daughter repeatedly on
any number of occasions. He talks about walking in to
semi clothed and nude girls in a Miss Teen USA
(47:51):
pageant dressing room. His reputation as a man who would
fuck anything in Manhattan, whether he was married or not,
is not a matter of speculation or debate. His public
comment two years after he supposedly broke up with Jeffrey
(48:12):
Epstein his friends that Jeffrey's a fun guy and he
likes him young, even younger than I do. This is
not the character you want to who's this is not
the guy whose character you want to die on the
hill defending this is a broken, degenerate, sick fuck. And
Donald Trump, whether he was directly involved with this thing
(48:33):
or not, and I believe he was understood who Jeffrey
Epstein was. It was not a secret what Epstein was doing.
And Trump knew it, and if he knew it, as
he's now saying, oh, he stole Virginia Giuffre from me,
at that time, he had to understand what Epstein was doing.
So at the best case scenario, your hero, you're you're, you're, you're,
(48:56):
you're not in shining armor. Who you are standing so
hard right now, it's it's astounding. At the best case scenario,
Virginia Giffrey was stolen from him, and he did nothing,
didn't call the cops, didn't go to Epstein, didn't say
get to hurt the fuck back here right now, chief.
Speaker 3 (49:18):
Knowing that he likes them young, so he knew exactly
what the plans were. And I'm so glad that you're
saying all this, Rick, because I think it slips people's
mind that the public record is replete with evidence and
for some reason now evidence in his own words, doesn't
matter to them, which is again, like, I think you
(49:38):
were being very generous when you said I think you
had been dropped on his head. I think that's what.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
Yeah, he said, Look, look I am I am fine
having a discussion with folks from the MAGA side of
the equation if they want to have a discussion, but
that is some tenitious horseshit, So we're just done with that.
And I get anybody who wants to take a bet
that Donald Trump is not a fucking degenerate and a rapist.
(50:04):
And by the way, that indictment of Trump I gave
in the matter of two minutes, I could go on
for an hour and a half. I've written two fucking
books about this guy. I have read shit, I have
talked to people. I know things about him that have
been reported and that have not been reported. And he
is a fucking degenerate.
Speaker 3 (50:25):
Which is why we have to make sure that we
get the house back and stop this degenerate from destroying
everything that so many people have worked to build and protect.
Speaker 1 (50:36):
Yep. And and by the way, folks, winning in twenty
twenty six is the big kahuna, because I gotta tell
you something. Todd Blanche will be in a committee hearing
within about thirty seconds after the new Congress coming in
to office. Pam Bondi will be in front of the
(50:57):
Judiciary committee in about thirty seconds after the new Congress
come Zim Cash, Betel Dan bing Bongo. All of these
fucking idiots who were involved in this cover up. Are
going to be dragged kicking and screaming to be accountable.
Because here's the thing, folks, Man, I took a dark
turn tonight, didn't I know?
Speaker 3 (51:18):
It was?
Speaker 1 (51:19):
I have to go lucky And now I'm like wrap
of fucking god old testament. Rick.
Speaker 3 (51:24):
It has to be that way sometimes.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
Here's here's the thing. Let's remember, folks, Jeffrey Epstein is dead.
Glenn Maxwell is going to get a pardon from Donald Trump.
He was part of engineering the largest child pedophile rape
ring that we are aware of in contemporary history. And
Donald Trump, to protect his political status, to protect his
(51:48):
reputation and his and his political position, is willing to
pardon her and set her free, you know, in the
words in the words of my former boss, a former
Secretary Defense, who said, get the fuck out of here
with that fucking bullshit son, I won't.
Speaker 3 (52:07):
And to be honest, if she gets out on a
pard and I wouldn't be surprised if she fell out
of a window soon thereafter.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
So, oh, listen. I wrote a piece about this a
couple of weeks ago, Like the minute she takes a
deal with them, Oh my gosh, she's so depressed. We
have to put her in solitary.
Speaker 3 (52:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:24):
Oh what wait we left ben Sheet's in there. Oh
my god, we forgot.
Speaker 3 (52:29):
Yeah no, I think I've watched enough episode of Scandal
to know how this one ends.
Speaker 1 (52:35):
Yeah. Yeah, all right, speaking of ending, I have to
go write five thousand words.
Speaker 3 (52:40):
That's my last assignment of the day, and I have
to go meditate and clear my brain from all of
the things that you said about Trump's junk. Yeah. I'm
gonna just I'm gonna wipe it out. Just let let
it go.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
What's all right, olks. We will see y'all again next
Thursday day because we'll be back with with f Cinapalooza
Part seventy four.
Speaker 3 (53:05):
Yeah, it never ends.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
We love you, We love you.
Speaker 3 (53:10):
Surprise everybody, take care of yourselves. Please hydrate. I just
want to say it'll help hydrate. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (53:17):
Hi,
Bang here with me to day and the Prime Minister.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
They get a great drag. You know they've been trying
to make that deal for twelve years.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
When we got again, everybody, everybody is back, it's gonna
be a lot of yas.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
For great bread. I'm not again, what's up?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Rick, Just letting everybody know that all shows will now
be proceeded with the bagpipe so low if you don't like.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I speak fluent bagpipe, and I believe those bagpipes were
saying fuck you Donald Trump over and over.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yes, that that is exactly what they were saying in
uh in ancient Gaelic.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
If that is what it's.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Uh, it's it's oh my camera's doing that automatic tracking
thing again. Damn it. I hate that.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
That's actually fun though, because it makes its dance. It's
like swagsurfing. Do you remember when there was sweat? And
I think that's what really pissed off Maga Republicans. They
were like, no, there will be no swagsurfing or black people.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
They they have a lot of hatreds, they have they
have a lot of hatreds.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, the Night Right, nobody watched that. Wait, we'll be
dancing soon once that's in the new.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
White House vulgar sportatorium, water slide, uh day, spa, and
ballroom complex that Donald Trump wants to tear down the
fucking East Wing and build a ninety thousand square foot which,
by the way, ninety thousand square feet is the size
of a football field. M that doesn't work. You're going
(01:55):
to destroy the symmetry of the White House by installing
this monstrosity, this vulgarity. And I I, for the love
of God, do not understand why this man is so
obsessed with everything being covered in gold leaf and looking
like Liberachi splooged all over every surface. It's just insane.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Well, I think if he's going to actually kill them,
he has to like destroy it.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
It's like Liberaci splooge. I'm done, Wilson, I'm done. I'm
calling hr.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I'm just like, I'm gonna ignore the splooge word. But
it's it's it's entirely too much gold. And it's like
he's structurally ruining the White House while also.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Uh like morally, metaphysically, politically, legislatively in every other dementia.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, and and this is what this is what when
when we say elections have consequences, we mean that there
will be a ballroom made.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And as you as you guys have already seen in
the Oval office, his taste is is like Saddam, only
more vulgar.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And I don't know if anybody in his base is
going to look at this and say, Wow, that's money
that could go towards anything else, like literally anything else.
There is a difference between you know, when you have
the conversation with like a kid, and you're like, there's
a difference between wants and needs. Right now, you may
want Donald Donald, you may want a ballroom, you may
really want it, But do you need a ballroom? Do you? People?
(03:27):
Is it what the people need?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Donald Trump wants that ballroom so we can sit up
on the stage and DJ from his iPad playing Y
M C A.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Oh god, that's what it is. Gonna get that image
out of my It's gonna happen, and he's.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Gonna be wearing He's gonna be wearing leather pants and
a tight span Dex and a tight spandex tank top
and covered in glitter.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I'm mad at you for this.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Listen. I'm like a vichy motherfucker's and I'm gonna about
to rock this House with another edition of Total Eclipse
of the Sun.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I'm back, Okay, don't We're not going to do this
the whole night. We were just having fun through a
little bit cake something.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Something something I might not all know about Rick is
that Rick is like kind of a base head.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I kind of aim.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I was on a work trip with you. I was
on a workshrip with you in Florida. We got in
the car to like go to dinner, and you pull
up SoundCloud on your phone and like imposing in the
in the front seat.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I'm like, what is happening right now? Well then, okay,
let's just all get a ballroom and dance together. We're
just going to dance our way out.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Of the of the fascist hellscape in which we are
all currently trapped.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
All right, I think you into our first into our
first segment for the evening. Yes, it's time to talk
about Trump's trip to Scotland. He was a bunch of protests,
which is the coll open you guys saw tonight. He
was drowned out by bagpipes when the press came and
he had this crazy press conference which we'll show you
(05:06):
guys a little bit of, and I'll let you guys,
break down what all is in here?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Really, we'll have a pardon for Glen and Maxwell and Landed.
Is that something you would ever consider it a pardon
for whom?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Maxwell?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Well, I'm allowed to give her a pardon. I'm not
a drawing person. I don't do drawings of women. That
I can tell you. They say there's a drawing of
a woman, and I don't do drawings of women. They
can easily put something in the files, that's the phony.
They can put things in the file that are faith.
I never had the privilege of going to his island.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Can we break that down just for a second, for
a second. You know what things I've never said. I've
never had the privilege of going to an Iraqi torture center.
I've never had the privilege of going to a South
American drug lab. I've never had the privilege of going
to Jonestown during a cult sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Who says that the fact that it was at the
forefront of his brain like that that was the first
word that came out that he didn't correct himself, Like
I wish I could have seen the other people in
the room, because somebody had to WinCE, somebody had to
go oh not that.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Somebody had to have a moment where they went X
nay on the Epstein Hey.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
On the I mean island right to not just come
out and say I will not give this woman a pardon,
this eight sex trafficker, a convicted sex traffickers, a.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Sex trafficker, but the woman who ran Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile
sex trafficking ring. I mean we we gotta we gotta
like call it for what it is and and and
the nature of trump. I can do it. I mean
I'm allowed to do it. That tells you, folks, he's
(06:55):
already like ninety nine percent of the way there. Yeah,
that tells you he's already like almost finished planning how
to how to pardon her. He is, he is transparently
obvious in this one.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
And if this is a way to avoid talking about
the Epstein files, this is not the way to do it.
And this is coming in the you know, within a
week of the South Park episode, Like this is not
how you take the heat off by saying things like oh, as.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
A fellow sets trafficker, I feel for her, I wish
her well.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
He wishes her well, and in I sported goodness. If
democrats do not pounce on this because I already feel
that the heat is coming off a little bit. And
I understand that there's a lot going on, and we're
going to get into a lot of it tonight. But
it is very easy to just every time you say
Trump's name, say the man who is definitely in the
Epstein files, the man.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Who said he was friend, Yeah, Jeff's best friend. That's it,
that's it.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Eyes on the price, come on.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Eyes on the eyes on the damn price. And honestly,
my I mean, look the Scotland trip, he was really
trying to change the subject, and and everything now in
Trump's world is about changing the subject. And it is
incumbent upon both the Democratic Party and every human being
who wants to not have this guy get away with
(08:19):
it to say those words, you are a sex trafficker
who was best friends with a pedophile. And and you
know when he came out this week and said Jeffrey,
I got angry with him because he's stile Virginia Gifrey
from me.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Also, like what an insane thing he stole her?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Like she's what property?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Property?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, sattle slavery is still a thing. I mean, I
know some of his people would like that.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
But honestly, no, in his mind, that's the worst thing
that you can do is steal someone else's employee, right,
And so the fact that he views he has ownership
over his over his employees like that. It's not the
sex trafficking that's bad. It's not the fact that he
was accused of all these cruns and was about to
(09:08):
go on trial. No, it's not that. It's that he
stole my employees. And this is again, like the window
has shifted when we talk about the Overton window. Is
there even a window anymore?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
The Overton window is so far in the rear view
now that I don't even know what to say about
it anymore. Because this guy, Interestingly, my one point that
I've noticed the other day, Donald Trump at the time
had thousands of employees in his golf clubs and his
condo buildings, in his real estate development buildings. Does he
(09:43):
suddenly remember the one girl who was a fourteen year
old towel girl in his spa at mar A Lago.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Good fucking point, Rick.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
How does he remember her suddenly? Very I mean, the
consciousness of guilt here, folks, is screaming out at you,
hitting you in the face, like this madness.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
And the fact that he always goes he tries to
distract from bad with also bad because he's in Scotland
doing personal business mixed with U somehow, Like how much
are the taxpayers having to pay for this? Like he's
cutting a ribbon at what?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Like? Yeah, I mean look this, this trip at the
low boundary. According to two estimates I saw just traveling,
just the planes and the Secret Service just moving them
over there was ten million dollars. Okay, I mean it's
(10:41):
nice golf. Nice of your your own private golf club
that you own in Scotland that the taxpayers paid a
cut for you to commute to.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Is there anyone keeping a tally the Trump tally? Like
we need to have like one of those like running
thermometer type things that just.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Show I'm sure if anybody is keeping a tallly, but
man that that that would like a trip a trip
meter for this guy because the uber bill is way
up there, folks.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah, and again, this is all at a time when
the average American family is struggling. They're wondering howking out
budget of you know, student loans are going up, they're
limiting student loans and what people could take out like
things are happening in the American economy where the people
are starting to buy things ahead of time because they
(11:28):
know that prices are going to increase. This is absolutely insane, bonkers,
how in your face brazen he is now with the
corruption like this is something that normally somebody would want
to hide the fact that they're just doing Oh.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
No, he is a He is a man bereft. He's
a man bereft of fucks when it comes to the corruption.
He just doesn't care.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
It's up to us to care a lot, like so much.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
And folks, if I may make the point for the
eight hundredth time, reason number seven hundred and ninety seven
that we need to win in the fall of twenty
six is to make sure that he is held to
account for doing this shit.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yeah, and that's harder, and it's going to be even
harder now that Texas decided to call a special session
that was supposed to address they supposed to be about
the flooding, right like Texas was like the flooding. We
got to get together the flooding of all of these
people who are trying to vote for having representation in
(12:29):
their districts apparently is the flooding that they were trying
to curb. And so Ricky did a great He did
an essay on it.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I wrote a piece, I did a straight to camera
on it. Because the idea in the minds of our
Democratic friends that are like, oh, we must issue a
sternly worded letter and condemned this. No, no, no, you
must get California and New York and Washington and Oregon
in Illinois to get their legislatures in a special emergency
(13:01):
session and do the same thing. You have to fight
fire with fire, Democrats, if you just go and wring
your hands and go, oh, this is so awful, they
will take this advantage and they will run with it.
This is what they do. This is all They want
(13:21):
to retain power at all costs. And anybody who doesn't
think for even a second that these people aren't laughing
their ass off at Democrats sort of like flailing about
this is mistaken. They love this shit. They're a build.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Well, because they know they can count on Democrats doing
the right thing right, they can count on Democrats trying
to hold the line on what our democracy is.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
And if the Democrats, well, that would be an example
how dare we take advantage of that?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, and it's it's very frustrating. I understand the instinct, right,
I understand. These are the maps here, this is look
at that is that the tiny blue like that you can.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Bear see Here's I just have a reminder for people
in South Africa. They compressed African communities into the tightest
possible areas. It was called apartheid. Now this isn't quite
the same legal definition as apartheid, but they have now
compressed African, American and Hispanic district so far down into
(14:29):
these tiny little fragments that you've you've built five more
Republican seats.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
It is and it's maps like this that disempower people
and that make people walk away from democracy. It's looking
at this and going, well, what's the point. And that's
what they want to do. They want to people to
be disengaged and in texasces and redistricting so that people
who were originally representing their district are settling no longer
(14:58):
even living in their district, which is uh what the
case is for Jasmin Crockett and Rick Like I have
to say, I do as the same before, Like I
understand the instinct to want to preserve the last little
bits of civility that may exist. But don't I understand
that instinct.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, here, here's what that instinct leads everybody. It leads
to the Republicans cheating their way into a majority this year,
when they're going to next year, when they're going to
get beat if they don't cheat.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yeah, and twenty twenty six is crucial as like kind
of mission critical, as you mentioned, Rick, like, if we
don't get the house.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Folks, this is all the proverbial marbles, y'all.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, So all.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Texas, I just wanted to jump in and give you
a couple of numbers from that map. Yep, that would
all but guarantee five seat loss for Democrats in Congress
from Texas right now, uh coop seats and thirteen Democratic
seats in the state. In the state of Texas after
the redistricting, it will be thirty GP leaning seats and
(16:04):
eight Democrat leaning seats.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Now, I've questioned, if they have so much of a
mandate already, if their policies are so popular, if everybody
loves them across the board, why why the need, why
they need to redistrict, why they need to jerry mander
because everybody loves what Trump's doing, right, He's surging because you.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Have identified the key point here. Donald Trump is deeply
unpopular in the country Republicans. I mean, yes, the Democrats
have shitty numbers, folks, but among independents, Republicans have numbers
as bad as the Democrats. And if you add up
Democrats and independence, the Republicans are in more trouble than
(16:48):
they than they appear to be. And so they're desperate
and they're panicky, and they should be because they're doing
things that are assertively harming this country.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Can we unpack a little bit about what it means
that people are upset with Democrats because I feel like
people are upset with Democrats in a different way than
people are angry about Trump's policies. Like to me, oh yeah,
like upset with Democrats because they're not fighting hard enough.
Upset with Democrats because they can't get together with one
party line and run with it. I think, yeah, it's
frustration that they're not fighting hard enough for their constituents,
(17:22):
not that they're upset with their values or what they
want for the country.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
That's that maya you've hit it exactly on the head,
is yes, a lot of Democratic voters would like more
fight in the party. That's a real thing. A lot
of Democratic voters would like more charismatic leaders out front.
That's a real thing.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Younger leaders.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yes, Chuck Schumer, please just just do the right thing. Walk,
go out on the ice floe, wait for the white bear.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I'm like, don't just walk, run, trot whatever you can
still do.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
But we're in this moment where we're an awful lot
of people frustrated with the Democratic Party. Are are Democrats,
And it's not because they want to adopt Maga policies
or Maga philosophies. It's because they don't see the leadership
of the party fighting hard enough for them. When the
Lincoln Project people fight harder than your own party. There's
(18:19):
a reason why Democrats call us on the phone a lot, y'all.
And I mean, we we try to do our part
for democracy, but we get a lot of phone calls
because the national Party is like, how dare we? We
can't we can't step outside the lines that are carefully
painted by the Republicans.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
So I think there are no more lines anymore. That's like,
I mean, they have literally changed the playing field, and
so it is frustrating for me because I get to
see a lot of the messaging that comes through directly
from the DNC, and I see it and I'm like, Okay, guys,
it's actually this should actually be a lot easier than this.
We can look at what Republicans are doing and say
that's clearly not working for the country. Point this out.
(18:58):
But then we need to have a viable vision, like
there needs to be something that people can grab onto
other than their hate and disdain for what Trump is doing,
because right now everybody's like, okay, well, then what's the plan,
Like they have the product twenty twenty five, what do
we have? What is the plan to get us there?
And what can people do on a day to day basis,
because right now, everybody on a day to day basis
is just seeing rights get stripped away. They're just seeing
(19:21):
people being terrorized in the streets, and it's becoming more
and more demoralizing. If we don't have a strong like
this isn't a time. I feel like everybody's posturing for
like who's gonna run and who's gonna do this?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
And I wish they'd stop. I wish they would stop.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Like, don't go get together in a fucking room and
work it out. Figure out a platform that's gonna work
for whoever it ends up being, and then fucking do
the work.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Sorry, if you have the message that we have a
message that on that unwinds this cultural war bullshit, the
Republicans have been triumphant on invert the problem on them.
By the way, I have a piece of free advice
for candidates gain. I wore game this line with a
the Democratic candidate over the weekend, and when he was
his question was like, they're hitting me on the trans stuff.
(20:06):
I'm listen. I want you to look at your opponent
square in the eye and say, you seem really fascinated
with trans people. I don't care about your search history
on your computer, but your interest in trans people goes
way beyond the number that are in sports, or in
or in society. And and look, I'm sure there are
websites that will satisfy your curiosity. So you know you've
(20:29):
clearly had a lot of research about this, and like,
just get into that little thing that Republicans hate when
you ask when, when you when the The number one
thing these maga guys go crazy on is is when
you question them in that space where suddenly they're like,
I'm a very robust heterosexual man may with a wide stance.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
No, Rick, that is perfect counsel. That is the exact
thing that should be said, because anything else just accept
that's the premise that that somehow trans people in sports
is a huge problem that's worthy of addressing. And I
see Democrats making this misstep over and over again. Pete
Bodha Jedge did it recently, and I see people coming
in and it's like, hey, you know what, this isn't
(21:14):
going to do bring it in more people to the party.
You think somehow by jumping on the trans women shouldn't
be in sports thing is going to bring more people
into the Democratic Party. You think that's going to help
you in votes. You think that all of a sudden,
somebody who believes that is going to go, oh, okay,
well you know what, I'll leave behind everything else maga
and jump on over to the Democrats because you were
(21:35):
willing to throw trans people under the boss. I don't
fucking think.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
So it doesn't. But the whole thing about this, and
I was really pondering this, it's like one of the
reasons that male MAGA politicians who you will also folks
see very frequently these days. Any Google search will show
you they seem to be getting picked up for child
porn and pild abuse all the freaking time. Didn't, right,
(22:00):
but it is there. There's something about the transition in
particular that is in that weird, repressed, maga sexual thing.
And you know, they really really hate trans people, I
think because they really really questioned things about themselves.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Oh absolutely. And I think they questioned the fact that
they're attracted to trans people. We see the Google search,
I think when they did like the Google word cloud
search or what like that.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Like transport the biggest Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah, And I think it's pretty obvious. It's like, Hi, by,
this is great, Rick.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
I wanted to bring up something really poignant that I
that I heard you say on Chris Matthews's sub stack
the other night, where you said there are more known
victims of Jeffrey Epstein walking around right now than there
are trans high school athletes.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yes, that's fact, It's absolutely right. And and this is
a thing like when you dedicate that much attention and
so many resources towards a non problem, and then you
respond to that non problem as if it's an actual
problem worthy of like of discussion, and don't.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
And if you don't push it back onto them, they
will keep doing it. Which is why, which is why
I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna tune that answer up
a little more because it really is like and the
line that I that I use it, I say, just
look at it. I want you to like skunk guy,
this Republican guy, just and go, I don't want to
look at your browser history. I don't care, but you're
(23:34):
clearly fascinated. And I'm sased. Well.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
And it's also the control factor, right, And I think
what people are starting to realize now, what what Republican
leadership and fascist leadership looks like, is you get one
option on how to be. Eventually we will have one
radio station and we will have one like. And so
this idea that trans people have a choice or choose
to express their gender how they want to is a threat.
(24:01):
That's why fascists immediately go after the LGBTQ community and
anybody who knows anything about fascism. I mean, you just
go look at the Nazi Party. They were the ones
who destroyed much of the research on trans people. And
so to me, it's very very obvious that Democrats keep
falling and falling for this, uh, this line and need
(24:23):
to stop because it's and I feel like the one
Democrat who seems to do well with this is Pritzker.
He seems to always and maybe it's because he has
fuck you money, Like maybe that's what it takes sometimes
is to have so much money in your personal bank
account that you can actually just say you can.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You can, you can, you can express your lack of
fucks eloquently.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
But but you know this this goes to a broader
question too. Democrats keep asking like, you know, should we
keep talking about Epstein? Yes? Or should we talk about
the economy? Also? Yeah, also yes, you can walk into gum.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah, and right now you need to walk into and
gum playing tennis. Like all of the things that need
to be done, they need serious multitaskers.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
And one more, one more observation about this. The the
Republican trade off last year was yeah, he's gonna fuck
everything up, but but you won't have any trans athletes. Okay, great, Well,
if you accepted that premise, then you're then you're you're
(25:33):
your bandwidth for what you cared about as an American
is extremely narrow and fucked up. But there was also
that assumption that he was going to fix the economy.
Yet out in the country right now, people are scared shitless.
They do not feel confident in the economy. The the
Dow and the stock market are doing great, they're banging
(25:54):
away because it's disconnected from the real economy. It is
not the real economy. I had a great talk with
Scott Galloway today about how there's such a wide divergence
between the markets where seven companies make up like seventy
percent of the value in this country, and real people's lives,
(26:15):
which right now are kind of fucked. You know, gas
is more expensive, groceries are still expensive. Rent has gone
up since Trump became president, shocking, and all of it,
you know, comes down to a place where Democrats can
make multiple track arguments. Yes, Trump is a terrifying, horrible,
degenerate criminal who also fucked up your economy and hurt
(26:37):
your life, and whose big bill is going to take
away your health insurance.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah. I feel like people really need a lesson and
cause and effect, and that's what's truly missing and part
of the responsibility. I feel that the media needs to do.
Journalists need to do is start shifting what we define
how we define success. Right, Like, I think about the
fact that when I graduated college housing in Chicago, I
(27:06):
think I paid for with my roommates. We had a
four bedroom for sixteen hundred dollars in the Rigleyville neighborhood.
And at the time, yeah, yeah, four bedroom and it
came with a housekeeping every two weeks. Who was a
beautiful apartment marvel, you know, countertops, that whole thing. And
my salary, my starting salary was forty two thousand dollars.
(27:26):
Now this was in nineteen ninety nine, nineteen ninety nine.
Now flash forward to twenty twenty five. Starting salaries are
still roughly around forty two forty five thousand dollars. But
housing is so you can't say that, oh my god,
this the economy is doing great when people who are
graduating college right now are probably having a room with
(27:48):
like ten people or just move home.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, it is not. This is not This is not
an economy built for humans right now. Now, if you're
you're getting awarded as meta for saying we're going to
create this gigantic supersized data center, but we're also firing
most of our programmers because of AI.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
And I'm glad you brought up AI because that it's
it's actually terrifying how many entry level jobs are going
to disappear over the next decade due to AI and
nobody is ready for it. And you've got Peter Til's
like that. I've never seen somebody be so dominant and
have a company that's so dominant and also still managed
(28:35):
to lurk in the shadows, right, Like we all talk
about Peter Tiel. That nobody really talks about Peter Teal
because I think wasn't he the one who funded.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Suit against Gawker?
Speaker 3 (28:47):
People are afraid, Like even I have a video sitting
in my drafts about Peter Teel. We're at the end
of it. I'm like, you're not here, are you? Are
you in my computer right now? Peter?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Probably?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Well that's the thing, right, Hi, Kate, Hi?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
No?
Speaker 4 (29:02):
And what a wonderful transition to the sort of.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
I was doing it. Yeah, Yeah, the.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Unholy alliance of jd Vance and Peter Till.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
We had a piece this week.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Oh, we had a piece this week about that that
I want to play and then we'll get into the discussion.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Oops, Donald, you thought you sent jd Vance to talk
to Rupert Murdoch about stopping the Epstein story. Well that
didn't work. But there's something you should worry about, Donald,
something you should think about. What if jd Vance cuts
a deal with Rupert? Maybe jd Vance and Rupert figured
(29:45):
out the succession who comes after you and they don't
want to wait. Maybe they talked about when to start
the twenty fifth Amendment process to take you out. You
should have sent on Junior or someone else if you
could trust, because you know jd Vance will tell anybody
(30:06):
whatever it takes to get what he wants. And Rupert
he won't just listen to jd He'll take action. And
if jd and Rupert get their way, he'll lose Donald,
He'll lose everything.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
By the way, just so our viewers know that ad
is going up in Bedminster, where he will be this
weekend on the Golf Channel and at the White House.
We're narrow casting the ad because part of what we
need to do right now, folks, is keep punching Trump
in the face, keep the paranoia up, keep the satisfaction low,
(30:55):
and play that game where that we play better than
anybody else in the audience of one. And you know
there's a reason he mentioned the Lincoln Project is stupid
lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch. He said, a known anti Trump group.
I'm like, bitch, we've been around five years. We'd better
be a known anti Trump.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Known for getting under your skin, for.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Fucking you up.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
That's That's exactly what I was gonna say. It was
like Dad's running and we're running it if he's gonna
see it. But I wanted to ask the question because
I hear this question a lot from people, which is like,
are they going to try and oust him?
Speaker 3 (31:30):
And over under on it? What's the over.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Under on one? How would something like that work? So
this is like, is JD plodding on Trump? And if
he is, which we assert he is, what what does
that look like? And is that possible? Because people ask
all that.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Look, it's a high hill, it's very difficult to do.
But it's a cabinet vote, y'all. It's one vote of
the cabinet.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I thought you were gonna say it's a big mac
too many.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Well, yeah, JD, Like, no, mister president, it's not wrong
to eat three filo fish trimole would you like some
tot of sauce with thatsa it's heavily maynaised.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Like this is a cocktail made with duck fat, which was.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
Like, it's all the rage, you know, but but but
but there are people in the tech world who believe jd.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Vance is their guy, their boy for crypto, for AI,
for deregulation, for tax cuts, because he is one of them.
Peter Teal was his boss. He worked for a Peter
Teal head or investment bank or a venture capital fund.
And and in all this, Trump is a lot of
(32:51):
overhead for them, a lot of chaos for them. These
guys want certitude, they want simplicity. And you know what,
can you imagine a day where Vance becomes known to
be plotting the twenty fifth Amendment, but it just doesn't
appear on Twitter and there are no news stories appear
about it on Fox News and it just happens.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
So I Rick, That's what I see very much so,
and I'm curious what you think about because you mentioned
Trump's chaos, and to me, he serves that purpose for them,
so that Peter Thiele can do the things he needs
to do in darkness, so that all of these the
amount of surveillance that's starting to happen. I mean the
like there is zero we had zero privacy anymore. Like
(33:35):
I was just at the air zerol, Like there's biometric
screening that's happening when you exit the country, Like those
are starting to go up everywhere. They were already testing
in some airports. But we're talking like just they're in
all of our data. And I'm wondering if Trump's serving
as this great distraction in many ways. So and once
(33:56):
they're done kind of getting you know, the hit that
Miles Stone on their project of making sure they have
all of their data put together, and they're making their databases,
and once they're almost there, that's when they pull the trigger.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Look, I think they're closer than we would like and
closer than we think, and they'll get total obedience from
Jade Vance. Jd Vance is a complete beta. He will
bow down to those people and say, yes, tech overlords,
raise me into the cloud.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Well he's malleable too, That's exactly JD Vance.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Jd Vance, because of all his bullshit, has had to
try to like consistently reinvent himself time and time and
time and time again. Well, part of that is being
submissive to people who are his peer and peer plus
people around him. Yeah, so he will. He will switch
code switch so fast on that stuff and be their guy.
(34:56):
And frankly he would get what they wanted with less
friction and in some cases than Trump because Trump, Like,
I don't know what the crypto is. I like it
money from the coin. It's the coin like with my
face on it, but it really exists in my imagination
much like my penis.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Anyway, I'm like shorting out.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Came in, hr just came.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I'm gonna be a lyne in but tonight, like that
image is gonna pop into my head. Oh hi, Kate,
She's like, I have some forms you need to fill out,
Like I'm sorry. But he's like Plato though, JD Van
Oh yeah, oh yeah. But you know when you play
with Plato, like for I don't know, maybe you don't play.
You know, if you play with it too long and
(35:46):
it get starts to get like gross and cracked and hard,
I feel like that's that's JD Vance Like, eventually.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah, there's there's there's not a lot of there there
with j D. Honestly, there's not a lot of actual
reality to jd Vance.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
They could just imprint on him.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Right and look, the idea of him becoming president sooner.
I think probably appeals to those guys for a really
simple reason, Why not have jd Vance for two years
then for eight?
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Please don't do this right now, Rick, I don't. I can't.
I can't, Okay, Okay, all right now, now we're gonna
stay with I need to live somewhere in the region
of like it's possible that they're all just gonna go
away and we're gonna have our democracy back intact, our
courts intact.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Within five Welcome to Rick Wilson's horror after doc World,
where JD Vance and Laura Lumer create an army of
clone children in the tank.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Every dystopian thing is happening right now, Like I have
to rewatch all the Dystopian movies because I'm like, this
is where we're at. We haven't had a I did
watch Matrix part of Matrix on the plane again, and
I was like, please, somebody plug me into a different reality.
Like I just need to unplug this one and find
me a different matrix. Plug me into that one, right.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I want the Matrix where it's like where it's like
mid eighteenth century England right now, not mid twenty fifth
century dystopian mad Max, radioactive healthscape covered with mutants. See,
that's where all decided from Steve Bannon.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
That's where you and I differ. My daughter always asked me,
would you ever want to try and travel? I would
want to go back to the sixth I was like, what, Eve,
I'm like, have you looked at us? Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Like?
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Oh, no, to the future and beyond, Like that's the
only place I'm goingooh.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Well, the future of the future of this show is
what's next, Kate, I'm off track.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
I can get us back.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
Let's see, let's let's do a brief aside for this.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
They are pointing a side that is, they are okay,
so there's fat.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
So my son, my son Don Jr. Little known fact
if you were lost in the wilderness, his left nipple
is a compass. It points north at all times. Sometimes
the freaky watching it move back and forth. But it's true.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
All right, anyway, I can have lived my life.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
I've got I've got so much brain poison.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
I'm gonna I.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Have been I've been talking guys today, I've been talking
for like the last ten hours of interviews and phone calls.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
And good stuff for us.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
And donor calls. I'm punching.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
You're like, we're rolling out a new line of bras
can we can we have march like.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Donald Trump Jr. And these and these special move poster
also has a pocket in the center. It's waterproof and
it zips up and it comes with its own straw.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
You know, if you're tired of talking, I can just
mute you.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
But then we wouldn't hear great things like coke.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
All right, all right, I'm introduced, and then you don't
and then you don't have to talk for the rest
of the day. And I prefer if you did it.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
I want he makes me laugh.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
Todd Blanche, Trump's former personal attorney and the current Deputy
Attorney General, down to Tallahassee to visit Gallaine Maxwell in
prison to you know, see what she knows they do
how you know, little talkie talk And she has been
asked to testify before Congress and is set to appear
(39:51):
the week of August eleventh. So, with all of that
being said, with Trump's personal defense attorney going down to
visit Gallaine, it feels like to me, what are sort.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Of it would be a shame, Glaine if you became suicidal, right,
So I would not put that past him.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
The best and worst faith interpretations of you know what
went down in that meeting, with the motivation for it
happening was, and what we can well, we can expect
to see next out of that world.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Well, Rick, here's the thing. The Justice Department is supposed
to serve America.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
In America, Oh oh, you sweet summer child.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
That's what I was told growing up. It was somehow
supposed to serve, you know, enforcing our laws. I didn't
know that it was supposed to serve our president, like
specifically the president, specifically his needs as opposed. There we
go with the wants and needs, like he wants, he needs,
(41:03):
but what are the people? And so that's what this
does to, you know, people who are saying that, oh,
our courts are lost. Everything's lost now, and it doesn't
look good. It's not a good look when we have
our DJ involved in what appears to be apt like
a little bit of bribing, a little bit of back
room but in the open.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Yeah, look, his flight to Tallahassee as the Deputy Attorney
General of the United States and folks. As much as
I've been punching and silly tonight, this is deadly serious.
There is no other logical explanation, especially given his very
close relationship with Julane Maxwell's attorney. They're friends, they've been
(41:48):
on podcasts together. Their buddies. They they're they're they're they're
they're running buddies, they're hanging out. There's no question in
my mind that Todd blanche took off his DJ had
when he walked in that room and put on his
Donald Trump personal attorney hat and said, listen, it's a
tough thing to pardon you, but you know, if you
(42:09):
do the right thing and come clean on Bill Clinton
and George Soros and Bill Gates and blah blah blah
blah blah, Yep, we could we could see you. We
could I could see you walking free. I could see
you getting a pardon. But at the end of the term,
but you know, you know, somewhere in there and and.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
Remember, she's a sociopath, like this is a bad human being.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
She's a she's a roaring sociopath. You know, Today we
did an interview with a reporter named Vicky Ward, who
I'm sorry, Julie Brown, Sorry, I've got my I've got
my Epstein reporters backwards. We did a reporter with with
Julie Brown from the Miami Herald, who talked about the
(42:55):
things in these filings about Julane. It's nightmare fuel, It's bad.
He is a monster. He is the person who recruited
and trained and then herself sexually assaulted these underage girls.
They ain't funny. And it's not that he sent Blanche
down there to spring her basically brought our goddamn gift
(43:18):
basket of some kind. Is an affront to the victims
at a level that makes me just absolutely lose my shit.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
I know, it's completely disgusting, and it just tells you
where our discourse is at right now that that is
even something that they would do in the open, wide
open for people to see, Like this is stuff that
you would think they'd want to keep quiet because it's
that it should be that disgusting to their base, Like
the people who were like release the Epstein files. The
idea that Trump would even say I'm allowed to pardon
(43:47):
her should be the thing that would infuriate every single
right wing podcaster who was screaming Epstein files that We're
going to release the Epstein files and the cabal and
blah blah blah. Yeah, all of that, Like all of
those people should be furious. And I don't know, maybe
there's been too much of a distraction with his trip
to Scotland and the redistrict.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Nobody's distracted Donnie. By the way, we have a somebody
in the chat who's like, oh, well, if Trump was
in there, they would have been released during Biden. The material,
if I may be as kind as I can if
you pay attention to the timeline, was not available until
(44:26):
late twenty twenty four. And there's a little difference between
Trump and Joe Biden is that Joe Biden's Department of
Justice was not an adjunct of the White House. Joe
Biden's Department of Justice was an independent agency. And as
those materials got turned over after the death of Epstein
from the trial side and the court side, they were
(44:48):
taken to DOJ and they weren't processed, they weren't examined
in it. They didn't send a thousand FBI agents to
see if Donald Trump was in those files. You know
who did do that? Donald Trump did that. What happened
the minute they did that, and they started finding Trump
in those files. That's when the cover up started. That's
when Susie Wiles called Pambondi and said, clean this up.
(45:08):
That is I'm told that is the exact phrase that
was used, clean this up. And that's when the cover
up started. So Aaron Michael Daily, thanks for your question,
but spurious, this is a cover up. This material wasn't
available to them during twenty twenty four. If it had been,
it still would not have leaked because again, the Justice
(45:30):
Department then were not solely on earth to be Donald
Trump's personal attack squad.
Speaker 3 (45:37):
I think that needs to be I'm so glad that
you said that and that you addressed that question, because
that needs to be shouted, like to the mountains, across
the sea, like across the country, because people seem to
be forgetting. Like once again, it's like having the conversation
is just even premised on the idea that's an okay
thing for them to do, Like this is we've reached
(45:57):
a point of insanity with right with what's being allowed
in the amount of money again, Like I just keep
going back to the fact that people are struggling right now, sure,
and the amount of resources that are being used to
try to enable and keep this man in power. Is
(46:19):
just it's it shouldn't reach everybody. I don't want to
be in a concert, right you know.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
Here, here's the thing, Aaron, you are clearly and I
mean this in the nicest way. A guy who was
dropped on his head by his mother too many times
under no circumstances was the DNC in the Department of
Justice with Joe Biden. Because the Department of Justice then
was staffed by career professionals who are not partisan politicians,
(46:45):
many of whom were held that many of whom were
there were still there from the Bush era. They're not
a bunch of partisan hacks. That's the fantasy and the
projection in your mind. What the Department of Justice today
is a political attack arm of Donald Trump. What it
was then was a professional, independent department. And again you
(47:07):
are mistaken. The files were not there until after the
Epstein matter, was after his death, and the courts turn
those files back to DJ. This is not a question
mark Powell, and I know you really desperately don't want
to believe that Donald Trump was part of Jeffrey Epstein's
pedophile rapering. I know you desperately want to believe that.
But Donald Trump has a long history. On the Howard
(47:29):
Stern Show, he says, my lowest age is twelve. On
The Howard Stern Show, when they call him a sexual predator,
he laughs and smiles and then chakes his head like okay.
He talks about wanting to fuck his daughter repeatedly on
any number of occasions. He talks about walking in to
semi clothed and nude girls in a Miss Teen USA
(47:51):
pageant dressing room. His reputation as a man who would
fuck anything in Manhattan, whether he was married or not,
is not a matter of speculation or debate. His public
comment two years after he supposedly broke up with Jeffrey
(48:12):
Epstein his friends that Jeffrey's a fun guy and he
likes him young, even younger than I do. This is
not the character you want to who's this is not
the guy whose character you want to die on the
hill defending this is a broken, degenerate, sick fuck. And
Donald Trump, whether he was directly involved with this thing
(48:33):
or not, and I believe he was understood who Jeffrey
Epstein was. It was not a secret what Epstein was doing.
And Trump knew it, and if he knew it, as
he's now saying, oh, he stole Virginia Giuffre from me,
at that time, he had to understand what Epstein was doing.
So at the best case scenario, your hero, you're you're, you're, you're,
(48:56):
you're not in shining armor. Who you are standing so
hard right now, it's it's astounding. At the best case scenario,
Virginia Giffrey was stolen from him, and he did nothing,
didn't call the cops, didn't go to Epstein, didn't say
get to hurt the fuck back here right now, chief.
Speaker 3 (49:18):
Knowing that he likes them young, so he knew exactly
what the plans were. And I'm so glad that you're
saying all this, Rick, because I think it slips people's
mind that the public record is replete with evidence and
for some reason now evidence in his own words, doesn't
matter to them, which is again, like, I think you
(49:38):
were being very generous when you said I think you
had been dropped on his head. I think that's what.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
Yeah, he said, Look, look I am I am fine
having a discussion with folks from the MAGA side of
the equation if they want to have a discussion, but
that is some tenitious horseshit, So we're just done with that.
And I get anybody who wants to take a bet
that Donald Trump is not a fucking degenerate and a rapist.
(50:04):
And by the way, that indictment of Trump I gave
in the matter of two minutes, I could go on
for an hour and a half. I've written two fucking
books about this guy. I have read shit, I have
talked to people. I know things about him that have
been reported and that have not been reported. And he
is a fucking degenerate.
Speaker 3 (50:25):
Which is why we have to make sure that we
get the house back and stop this degenerate from destroying
everything that so many people have worked to build and protect.
Speaker 1 (50:36):
Yep. And and by the way, folks, winning in twenty
twenty six is the big kahuna, because I gotta tell
you something. Todd Blanche will be in a committee hearing
within about thirty seconds after the new Congress coming in
to office. Pam Bondi will be in front of the
(50:57):
Judiciary committee in about thirty seconds after the new Congress
come Zim Cash, Betel Dan bing Bongo. All of these
fucking idiots who were involved in this cover up. Are
going to be dragged kicking and screaming to be accountable.
Because here's the thing, folks, Man, I took a dark
turn tonight, didn't I know?
Speaker 3 (51:18):
It was?
Speaker 1 (51:19):
I have to go lucky And now I'm like wrap
of fucking god old testament. Rick.
Speaker 3 (51:24):
It has to be that way sometimes.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
Here's here's the thing. Let's remember, folks, Jeffrey Epstein is dead.
Glenn Maxwell is going to get a pardon from Donald Trump.
He was part of engineering the largest child pedophile rape
ring that we are aware of in contemporary history. And
Donald Trump, to protect his political status, to protect his
(51:48):
reputation and his and his political position, is willing to
pardon her and set her free, you know, in the
words in the words of my former boss, a former
Secretary Defense, who said, get the fuck out of here
with that fucking bullshit son, I won't.
Speaker 3 (52:07):
And to be honest, if she gets out on a
pard and I wouldn't be surprised if she fell out
of a window soon thereafter.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
So, oh, listen. I wrote a piece about this a
couple of weeks ago, Like the minute she takes a
deal with them, Oh my gosh, she's so depressed. We
have to put her in solitary.
Speaker 3 (52:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:24):
Oh what wait we left ben Sheet's in there. Oh
my god, we forgot.
Speaker 3 (52:29):
Yeah no, I think I've watched enough episode of Scandal
to know how this one ends.
Speaker 1 (52:35):
Yeah. Yeah, all right, speaking of ending, I have to
go write five thousand words.
Speaker 3 (52:40):
That's my last assignment of the day, and I have
to go meditate and clear my brain from all of
the things that you said about Trump's junk. Yeah. I'm
gonna just I'm gonna wipe it out. Just let let
it go.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
What's all right, olks. We will see y'all again next
Thursday day because we'll be back with with f Cinapalooza
Part seventy four.
Speaker 3 (53:05):
Yeah, it never ends.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
We love you, We love you.
Speaker 3 (53:10):
Surprise everybody, take care of yourselves. Please hydrate. I just
want to say it'll help hydrate. Yeah.
