Pardon The Insurrection

Discover the unvarnished truths behind the headlines as we explore Hope Hicks' explosive testimony on President Trump's alleged hush money saga. Her reticence to step into the limelight only amplifies the impact of her words, potentially cornering Trump's defenses. Our conversation is not just about courtroom drama; we also navigate the peculiar world of Trump's personal life, poking fun at the bizarre contradiction between his family's noticeable absence during trial tribulations and his showing up to cheer for Barron's graduation cap toss.

As we shift focus from legal entanglements to policy proposals, get ready to dissect Trump's radical plans for immigration and election norms. The former President's suggestion to deploy the National Guard for mass deportations is a powder keg of legal and ethical questions, and we're here to light the fuse. Tim Scott's recent dodgy dance around election result acceptance prompts us to question the very fabric of our democracy, while also taking aim at the media's role in perpetuating this dangerous game of political chicken.

Wrapping up with a flourish, the SEC's latest investigations prompt us to hold our financial systems to account—and we don't hold back. JP Staples earns our 'Shithole of the Week' for actions that reflect the insidious racism still prevalent in society. And as we close, we draw parallels between the fervor in rap feuds and the zeal required to challenge divisive politics, urging our listeners to stay engaged and informed. Tune in for a blend of sharp analysis, cultural critique, and a pinch of humor that's sure to enlighten and entertain.

Speaker 1:

hey, this is d night, this is carol, this is ty and you're listening to the part of the interaction podcast.

Speaker 1:

And then we had a perry mason moment when hope hicks testified. Um, so colangelo, the lawyer for the prosecution, uh asked her that if Trump said anything about the timing of the news coverage, and Hicks direct response was quote he wanted to know how it was playing. And just my thoughts and opinion about this story versus having the story a different kind of story before the campaign. Had Michael Cohen not made that payment, and I think Mr Trump's opinion was it would have been better off to be dealing with it now, that is, after the election, once he was already in the White House. Then it would have been. Had that story come out before the election and after that Colangelo ended his direct examination.

Speaker 1:

No-transcript. And even the fact like it just destroys the argument that Trump didn't have any involvement in making the payments because clearly he paid Michael Cohen back and not only did he pay him back, he like he, he, he chewed up the payments to make sure it would account for the taxes that Cohen would have to pay. So once the $130,000 payment, once Trump had the Trump organization pay Cohen, new York State and the feds would have took taxes out of that. So he had to gross it up to 400 000 or something like that, and he added in a bonus for that matter. So trump's defense is destroyed.

Speaker 2:

Uh, basically, all they have to do at this point is prove the, the, the payments, though you know the, the, the coddling that the media has been giving to Hope Hicks that's one thing, but I actually think that that makes her more credible, because it was obvious that she didn't want to be there, she didn't want to give that testimony, she didn't want to say the things that she said. So it puts her in a different light. It puts her in a different position.

Speaker 1:

It puts her in a David Pecker-like.

Speaker 2:

Where, if they can paint, yeah, where they can paint, and say, oh, he's on a vengeance mission, he's on a, okay, but her, they have no grounds to say that she has any reason to be like you know yeah, she's not bitter about anything that happened, yeah she's just Exactly Like. There's no like oh, I fired her, so she's. Or oh, this happened, or there's none of that.

Speaker 1:

No, and she talked about how grateful she was.

Speaker 2:

They can't paint her in that way.

Speaker 1:

No, and she talked about how grateful she was for the opportunity and she didn't even believe Trump was actually offering her the job of, you know, press secretary for the campaign or whatever, like she. She said she thought it was a joke. Now, obviously you know we're looking at whole pics like, oh, you look like a younger Melania. I can't believe Trump wanted to have you around, because you know Trump has that thing where you know he likes his new girls to look like his exes, like he liked.

Speaker 2:

He's got a type New girl.

Speaker 1:

look like my old girl, yeah yeah, after marla maples, like he was trying to hit on eugene, because they kind of looked similar when they were younger. And now there's like a whole cast of characters that look like young melania, from ho picks to, uh, christy gn, who's his potential VP pick, and of course, alita Haba, for instance. They all kind of have this. They got the brunette on Fox News thing going, or whoever that fake Melania is who sometimes came out.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that one too what happened to her.

Speaker 2:

I feel bad that she's unemployed now. Maybe they buried her in Bedminster Because they haven't brought her out.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you would think like, given all the attention that's being placed on this trial and you can't get your wife there, you would at least get the fake to show up every rare occasion. But maybe Melania has to co-sign on the fake, right? Maybe the fake can only go to events that Melania sanctions and she ain't sanctioning nobody to show up at his trial. Speaking of which, that is a good point and y'all don't? Y'all find it kind of funny that no one shows up to Trump's trial to support him, except for like co-conspirators Well, and Eric.

Speaker 1:

Eric showed up Wait day who gums showed up yeah, eric, he showed up gums for a yes oh, that's his name.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I know, he showed up the other day for like 30 minutes I gotta tell you his dad probably doesn't know his name.

Speaker 1:

So there is that, um. But you know, if I was in a tough spot, I hope you know my peoples would show up for me like that.

Speaker 3:

Well, you probably haven't betrayed them as much, right?

Speaker 2:

You know, what I am waiting for Is I can't wait to see Trump advance graduation and to see his beaming pride.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, that's another thing pride.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, that's another thing forward to uh, yeah, so initially, when you're looking forward to that day. Initially, when trump asked the judge could he attend baron's graduation, the judge said, hey, you know, we'll address that when we get closer to the date. And then trump railed against the judge for saying, uh, that trump couldn't go. And now, and now that the trial is moving along at a pretty brisk pace, the judge is like all right, cool, go ahead and go to the graduation. And now trump is like uh, I appeal that order so he doesn't want to go no, okay, I missed that kidding, no, I'm joking

Speaker 1:

oh, okay but the judge ruled that Trump could attend If anybody was going to appeal?

Speaker 2:

I would appeal. I would think that it would be Barron or Malanga.

Speaker 1:

But that was funny. Now Trump is like oh, I'm being punished, I got to go to the fucking graduation. How dare you judge? I'm sure that's what he's thinking and that's, you know. Yet another Trump gambit not paying off. It's just pretty embarrassing, pretty embarrassing.

Speaker 2:

It's on brand. It's on brand, definitely.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but that's enough for the trial for today. We'll pick back up on that later in the week. So Trump also sat down for an interview with Time magazine, and it was one for the Middle Ages, because that's what he's sending us back to. So he was asked about his immigration policy and Trump said he was going to use the National Guard to deport undocumented migrants nationwide during a second term, basically starting from day one.

Speaker 1:

That's an evil, motherfucker understatement. Put them in camps? Yeah, his direct quote was, if they weren't able to, then to use the national guard, that is, then he'd use other parts of the military. This is just fucking insane. Um and this was in response to a question over whether he would override the Posse I don't actually know how to pronounce this fucking Latin Comitatus Act, I guess, which prevents the military from being used against citizens. And Trump said of undocumented immigrants quote well, they aren't citizens, I mean, they aren't civilians. These are people that aren't legally in our country and, despite the fact that they're not citizens, even non-citizens have rights forwarded to them by the constitution, such as due process, as opposed to everyone, whether you're here legally or not.

Speaker 3:

Also like people who aren't serving in the military or civilians are like it doesn't matter what country they're from.

Speaker 1:

We definitely got to get you some cold medicine, Carol.

Speaker 2:

I'm sorry.

Speaker 1:

It's okay.

Speaker 2:

You're all nasally, Carol.

Speaker 1:

I can't imagine what I sounded like earlier this week. I was really toughing it out with my cold. I was battling that bitch every single day like I'm Drake. That was fine. I was writing diss out with my cold. I was like battling that bitch every single day like I'm drake and kim was writing diss tracks about me.

Speaker 1:

I was just toughing it out every day like damn, like why is life got to be like this? And now I'm finally feeling a little bit better. I still, I'm still a little congested myself, but I don't sound quite so miserable. But I hope you feel better soon, carol thank you you're more than welcome. Also, trump made comments at the time magazine article about the 2024 election where he was asked about the possibility of violence if trump doesn't win oh, jesus yep, and trump said quote if we don't win, you know it depends.

Speaker 1:

What the fuck does that mean?

Speaker 3:

what he can, whatever he can do he will you know?

Speaker 2:

yeah and did you? And did you see, like what Tim Scott was on? You know, sunday shows, whatever and he kept being asked will you accept the results of the? That is something that bothers me, or that they keep asking that?

Speaker 1:

yes, and no one answers.

Speaker 2:

Carol, it bothered me the last time too, because they know what the answer is going to be, but they ask it and it gives credence. It gives and it it drives me nuts because that was the same thing, like there's a choice yeah, they. That was the same thing that, uh, they did in 2020. Oh, will you accept the results of the 2020 election? It's a pet peeve, it drives me off.

Speaker 1:

I wish they wouldn't ask. I mean, if you do ask and they don't give you an answer, and why the fuck are you asking Tim's fucking Scott? Well, first of all like well, let's rewind for a second answer.

Speaker 2:

And why the fuck are you asking tim's fucking scott? Well, first of all, like who like?

Speaker 1:

well, let's rewind for a second if you do ask and they don't? I'm sorry, I keep saying the f word, it's okay. Uh, you, you should at least have the decency to point out how that person should be disqualified from holding office if they can't say whether or not there's going to be violence, if they lose the caveat that, likeat that, Like caveat that Like.

Speaker 2:

People sit here.

Speaker 1:

These are the same people who are questioning whether Biden should run because of his age, but they won't question whether or not these other people should be elected because they can't answer if they want to.

Speaker 2:

But they don't care if somebody's wearing diapers and I'm not as far as age goes, you know there's a lot of like. Trump is an older man and continence is a thing, but it's not just that, but his. I mean, you didn't see us out here.

Speaker 1:

You didn't see us out here with pillows when they were talking about sleepy Joe. Why are people out here wearing diaper, don shirts and shit?

Speaker 2:

Exactly, exactly, and it yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. And also fucking uh, would you ask why specifically Tim Scott? Well, he's on the short list to be Trump's vice president.

Speaker 2:

Oh no, that ain't not a thing. I mean, you say that I'm speaking in my southern vernacular.

Speaker 1:

That ain't not a thing, however long of a shot it may be however long of a shot it may be, he is a realistic choice in terms of just. I mean, I know it's not super likely, but it's a possibility and that's why he was being asked.

Speaker 2:

And another thing no, I was being asked because he was being paraded out like a motherfucking show horse, like a step infection monkey.

Speaker 1:

Exactly that's why he's on the short list, like a step and fetch it, monkey. Exactly that's why he's on the short list. And another thing that kristen welker was pushing back on his fucking answers if kristen welker is, yeah she, if she's got a vagina today I'm not gonna say balls, because you know vaginas got more strength than balls.

Speaker 2:

So well, in that case she maybe had her uterus up.

Speaker 1:

No, in that case she maybe had one ball but she was even remotely pushing back on this nonsense. She was stern for her. She don't push back on shit. If you thought Chuck Todd was a bitch, you ain't met Kristen Welker, because she don't push back on nothing. But she was pushing back today. Today, um, and there were, you know, look. So I made a video for the Midas Touch guys about some of the the vp candidates going well, making the rounds today christy, no, marco rubio, uh, tim scott there and doug bergum, and they were all on the same shit. They were lying about abortion. Uh, they were lying about the results of the 2020 election. They couldn't say whether or not they would agree to the results of the 2024 election. They couldn't say whether or not there would be violence. Uh, they wouldn't admit that the, the trials that trump is facing are legitimate. Like it's. It's all the same bullshit all over here. No, it's the same bullshit All over here.

Speaker 2:

No, it's the same bullshit, different fucking day. And the fact that it shows like it's a coordinated lock, oh it goes. Lockstep effort, yeah, because they're asking them all the exact same question, exact same question, poisoning them, positioning them to get the same answer.

Speaker 1:

Well, the questions are legitimate, the answers are ridiculous. And then Kristi Noem of all people, she went the furthest. She wasn't just spouting bullshit, she was being asked about her book about shooting her dog, and there was a part at the end of the book where she was talking about, um, you know, inviting, uh, commander biden to meet cricket, which is an allusion to shooting president biden's dog in the face.

Speaker 2:

Uh, but she yeah but then she was like all I've got to say is somebody needs to go on that bitch's ranch and start dick digging, like on some john wayne gacy shit.

Speaker 1:

Like somebody needs to go on her ranch on some crime tv level shit, yeah, yeah yeah, because there's no telling what's going on with her and she. And there was also this point in her book that she was making about having traveled to North Korea and meeting Kim Jong-un and staring him down. I'm like bitch. This is ridiculous. Like you know, like travel records are public right, like there's no way you went to North Korea because they just fucking opened up the possibility to travel, like a few years ago. She's just totally making shit Like sociopath levels.

Speaker 2:

Well, trump levels of just making shit up. Trump is a sociopath because he's too god goddamn weak to do any like real work and murder people himself. But her, she's a psychopath.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's on some well I did say I hope american uh psycho shit well, I did say that I hope Trump picks her as his VP because she's shown that she has the proclivity to put someone to rest once they're no longer useful and you see Trump's brain smelting here lately, so she'll. She'll do what it takes to make it all the way up to president, also in that Times interview.

Speaker 1:

Well, yeah, she would become president and have immunity, right exactly thank you it's not assassination when the vice president does it so also in the times magazine interview he talked about abortion, where he told the interviewer that it's up to the states that they decide to monitor women's pregnancy so they know if they receive an abortion. That's fucking insane.

Speaker 1:

Uh, we're definitely totally co-sign a national abortion ban well, he wouldn't answer whether or not he would do that. That's another thing that comes up with his vp candidate candidates too. They're like well, they won't say whether or not they support a national ban, they just say it'll never reach the president's desk, which is code for if. If it does, we'll do it. But yeah, trump is like trying like to think that that sounds like the reasonable fucking answer. Well, we just leave it up to the states brought us to argue what they made for slavery. What the fuck are you doing? Yeah, and this is in the magazine all and there's a lot more like the. The interview is so long, I mean it would take hours to read it in its entirety okay, d, just on that note.

Speaker 2:

If you don't mind, this is a little sidebar. So I was just reading an article today, um, about baton rouge, baton Rouge and community. They were trying to form their own school system and since 2012 and it was shot down they lost. But the Louisiana Supreme Court just said that they could secede from Baton Rouge and form their own white community outside of the city while drawing federal funds that goes to Baton Rouge to. You know what we do to support our cities, st George? So they have just formed their own fucking secessionist community to not have Black people there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's insane. They seceded from the city. It's like what the fuck yeah?

Speaker 2:

yeah, like, but it just. I'm sorry I I got off on a tangent, but yeah, I did. But it just made me think about that that I was just reading today and I'm like what the actual fuck?

Speaker 1:

yeah, it was. It was bananas, um, but again it's just like that. He thinks that's. The reasonable answer is wow. I don't know why he did this interview, to be honest. I mean, I guess he's stuck in 1980 where he thinks being on the cover of time magazine means something. Dog, no one reads print like this isn't even 2016, where, like, what's on the shelf at the fucking walmart checkout line makes a difference hey man, I still read, print, I love print no, but I mean and this is no shaded print, but, like also those you know, typically print journalists uh, put their work online as well.

Speaker 1:

And then, but again, that's another instance in where the like what's on the cover has been so devalued, like to put all this insane shit on paper is just bananas that he would do this. Yeah, monitoring pregnancies, that's some Republic of Gilead type shit, post-apocalyptic type shit that no one wants to sign up for. And he also said that he'll leave it up to states that they want to prosecute women for getting abortions. Just again, bananas. This quote the states are going to say it's irrelevant whether I'm comfortable or not, it's totally irrelevant because the states are going to make those decisions. No dog like, you need to take a fucking position on this. This is yeah.

Speaker 3:

Well, they know their positions are not popular, so they're just trying to withhold all that, obviously. Yeah, I know it's obvious.

Speaker 1:

Not in this Times interview. They're not. Trump was like just putting it all out there, and he also said about January 6th that he would absolutely consider pardoning everyone who was involved in the J6 attack.

Speaker 2:

The key word is consider, because he had an opportunity to do it and he didn't.

Speaker 1:

Well, you say that but I think one of the things that happened is it was so unpopular. The day after that his advisors were like dog, you need to just lay low. Now he could have. But what happened was is a number of republicans were telling him in private that if he did pardon anyone involved in the attack on the capitol, that they were going to convict him in impeachment and make sure he couldn't run again. And that was. That was part of that bargain. Um, also, just as a total side note, again, it's a good thing we entitled our podcast pardon the insurrection because, with trump dangling all these pardons for insurrection, if somebody was going to come up with the title for this podcast one way or the other, yeah, we beat them to it because you know they were dead because, except the thing is their version of pardon, the insurrection would have been extremely pro-pardon.

Speaker 2:

Pardon the actually pardon the insurrection.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we're like don't pardon none of them, fuckers. And also late last week, the Trump Media and Technology Group auditor, like trump media, appears to be a massive fraud. So the accounting firm bf borders that was responsible for handling the audit of trump media group, as it went public with the merger with the spec the, the SEC charged that firm and its founder, ben Borges, with falsely representing the clients that its audit work would comply with US standards, and also for fabricating documentation. And we talked about this a couple times here. We were like this shit is not on the up and up. This is that weird Ben Affleck accountant level type shit where it's got to be involved in some kind of fraudulent activity. If your company's supposedly worth billions of dollars, why are you hiring this shit?

Speaker 2:

that's like across the street from o'reilly's auto parts store this is some boiler room shit, which yeah yes, also also aflac yes, this is some boiler room type shit yeah, I never like I never put two and two together.

Speaker 1:

But this trump scam is just.

Speaker 2:

He got it all from aflac movies they were watching the movies and they were like we gotta do this hey Ty, you like apples?

Speaker 1:

well, yeah, I do well they shut down Trump's accounting firm. How you like dim apples. I'm sorry that was another Affleck movie. Yeah, sorry, that was tacky. I apologize. I do like you anyway, that was another Affleck movie. That's weird. Yeah, sorry, that was tacky. I apologize.

Speaker 3:

I do like you anyway.

Speaker 1:

Although that wasn't Ben Affleck's line, but still so. The firm agreed to pay $12 million civil penalty, along with Ben Borger's paying two million, though that was without denying the charges or admitting guilt. Borger well, according to the director of the sec's enforcement division he said, quote borgers and his sham audit mill have been permanently shut down. He called it a sham audit mill because they were running these fake audits. They wouldn't even do real work, they would just make up paperwork, sign off on it and submit it to the SEC, and it's entirely part of work. Uh well, I mean, it's easier than doing the actual work, I would imagine.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I don't know anyway, but yeah, and then Borges was accused of creating fake paperwork, doing non-existent work and fabricating beatings, among other things. But obviously I called that shit from the get-go. It just looked super suspicious, it looked like a scam and, as it turns out, not only is Trump's website a scam, but so is the auditor. It's crazy. Yes, but you would think the SEC might investigate some of the filings that were done on the behalf of the Trump media group, since this guy was engaged in massive fraud over the course of a couple of years here, and I think the charges from the sec stem from like 2021 to 2023. So it was like right up. It was like right up to the point um, before true social went public. It's just fucking wild man. All this dude does is grift. Everyone he works with is a fucking grifter. Anyone who does business with him is probably engaged in some kind of fraud scheme. It's wild.

Speaker 3:

Nice, it's midnight. It's midnight o'clock.

Speaker 1:

Speaking of which oh.

Speaker 2:

God, I'm a pumpkin. It's late for you, carol.

Speaker 1:

Speaking of which, ty shithole of the week award time after you shithole of the week award. Jp.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, explain the nomination for our shithole of the week our shithole of the week is JP Staples, the monkey fucking spouting staples. The monkey fucking spouting degenerate and racist on Ole Miss's campus, who will probably be running for Congress next week.

Speaker 1:

Or getting a job on Fox News. Absolutely.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely I congress next week or getting a job on fox news yeah, absolutely, I. You know, watching that video that a sitting congressman posted of him and glorifying it and everything, and seeing him and it turned my fucking stomach. But this kid is, he is a representation of what he the systemic racism combined with MAGA has made acceptable in our society today and it's just fucking gross and everything that I see. I see people and they're like oh, because she flipped a middle finger. Yeah, she's flipping a middle finger at motherfuckers, calling her Lizzo and calling her the N-word and making the grossest fucking comments ever towards her. But that's their justification. But JP Staples, he is a symbolism of, and a colonization of, what MAGA is today. Today, something that has never gone away, something that has been bubbling under the surface, just wanting to have the opportunity to be their true and authentic selves. But because of the strides that we made during the civil rights movement, they were kind of shamed into the background. But that's not a thing anymore.

Speaker 1:

That's why he's awarded the shithole of the week award.

Speaker 2:

That is why he is awarded the shithole of the week award, because he has been emboldened and he should be fucking shamed.

Speaker 1:

Ty. They dug up dirt on that man's family like a 2024 rap beef. It was crazy Fuck you, JP Stables. They was putting his dad's DUI information out there Something crazy like $80,000 in fines total. That's fucking bananas. How drunk was he?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, right, because they don't give out fines like that for anybody.

Speaker 1:

His blood alcohol content level was so high that it was too old for Drake to sleep with JT.

Speaker 2:

Staples, go fuck yourself.

Speaker 1:

Yep, you're hereby awarded the Shithole of the Week award. Carol, do you have your closing thoughts together?

Speaker 3:

Yes, I definitely have been thinking about that, while I'm not falling asleep here. Damn, the news is bad, but some of it's bad for people who aren't me, so that's not as bad as the world could be. I don't know, man, I'm discouraged, but we have to. I'm just gonna turn to you for my positivity. You're in charge from now on. That's my clue.

Speaker 1:

Well, really, good, I mean if it makes you feel any better.

Speaker 3:

We got some good news from abc and npr, some biden poll numbers showing biden over trump by four to five points as of today it should be way more than that, but that's good I mean, that's a start it's just crazy like all the stuff, you that we just discussed, and everyone and I, there are just so many people who are like this bullshit, like he's, but have you seen? Like inflation, and it's like how can you just ignore everything out of anyway?

Speaker 1:

I'm sick of I mean, and the thing about inflation is, it's not real. It's price gouging by oil companies, which we knew to be the case, and a number of other financial well, another number of other companies just raising prices using inflation as cover.

Speaker 1:

Hate like he don't just hate Drake. He hates the fact that someone like Drake can even exist. And I need y'all to hate Trump to the degree where you hate the fact that someone like Trump can even exist. And that concludes this episode of Pardon the Insurrection.
