Pardon The Insurrection
Where we discuss the ongoing Congressional and criminal investigations of the January 6 coup orchestrated by the former President. And because insurrection wasn't enough, we'll also cover the Department of Justice espionage investigation, investigations relating to other members of Congress, and more. Don't worry, we're not handing out any pardons.
Pardon The Insurrection
Trump And Elon Tweet And Greet
Can personal traits ever justify poor behavior in public figures? Tune in to our latest episode where we tackle this contentious issue head-on, starting with Carol’s inspiring recovery from COVID-19 and celebrating our YouTube channel's major milestone. From there, we dive into the political whirlwind surrounding Donald Trump's return to Twitter, the ensuing implications for Truth Social's stock, and the fallout from Elon Musk’s botched X Spaces event. We also shine a light on the dysfunction plaguing Twitter under Musk's leadership, and question the troubling trend of excusing bad behavior with personal characteristics.
Ever wondered what's really going on in the minds of political leaders? We analyze Trump’s recent baffling comments and delve into his peculiar comparisons between Kamala Harris and Melania Trump. We explore his musings about fleeing to Venezuela if he loses the next election, and discuss the ongoing legal ramifications for January 6th insurrectionists, including a recent 20-year sentence. Our discussion raises critical questions about Trump’s mental state and the broader impact of his rhetoric on American politics, providing a sobering look at the current political landscape.
Is the Republican agenda eroding the public education system? We examine their strategies to undermine public schools by closing well-resourced institutions and forcing students into underfunded ones. This discussion highlights the damaging consequences on students, teachers, and communities. We also touch on Trump's obsession with appearances, illustrated by JD Vance’s drag photos, and the hypocrisy within the Republican party regarding LGBTQ issues. Wrapping up with a lighter note, we reminisce about a memorable shoe purchase and tease a future episode with fashion expert Derek from Twitter, who will share insights on men's wear.

One, two, three, four doing that every single week. But you get a change of pace this week with carol over there. She's wearing clothes, by the way, she's just lying down. She's under the weather recovering from the vid. You know the the covid19 got her, it's still out there.
Speaker 3:Rona got you tons of youtube viewers.
Speaker 1:You'll see hey, we got 5 000 something subscribers on youtube, which is pretty good, considering we just really started doing YouTube. We didn't put any videos on there, but yeah, apart from that, yeah, I like to vote for presidential candidates, as does this podcast, presidential candidates who don't have to worry about fleeing the country if they lose. So, in case you missed it, trump made his value return to twitter the other day. Uh, apparently things must be spiraling down to the point of doom. If that's the case, because he spent the last three and a half years basically avoiding the place, trying to pump up the stock of truth social, which is wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 3:How many of those years was he banned from Twitter? Year and a half.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but remember when Elon was doing all the making those weird ass, thirsty ass memes where he's like, oh I unbanned Trump and but his deal with Truth Social he can't tweet because he has to give exclusivity to Truth Social.
Speaker 1:Well, he can, can? I think there's like a time limit, so he has to. You know, whatever he posts on true social, he has to wait x amount of hours before he can post it on other social media platforms, but uh it's not like it's not like he's gonna get sued by the board or anything. They're his fucking family, but that stock is.
Speaker 3:I mean there is nobody holds him to any of his promises ever. It's not like. It's not like you'd be stupid to accept a promise from him.
Speaker 1:So Totally fair. But he's back and the stock is tanking anyway, so this will probably hopefully be the death knell before he can possibly start cashing out by selling stock next month. But we're not going to talk about that part of it today. So, apart from his gallant return to the Twitterverse, elon Musk, everyone's favorite billionaire fuckhead, decided to host an X Spaces exclusively with Trump. It's kind of it's somewhat in the vein of like a podcast interview, but you know what spaces is if you you've been on Twitter. Anyway, that went disastrously poorly. It seemed as though it took like 45 minutes just for it to start working. I think the sound was out. Elon Musk attributed to a denial of service attack or something like that, which clearly wasn't the issue. It's just the fact that his website is shitty and he fired all his employees and his chief engineers that run the fucking thing and keep it working. That's why it glitches half the time, like the tweets barely show up.
Speaker 2:You can't see the likes half the time, like sometimes it just like all the tweets just seem like they're encoded to show you like I know that I've retweeted certain tweets and then they'll come up again in my feed and there's no like indication that I've retweeted or like them and I'm like wait, this tweet is familiar. I know I realize I liked or retweeted this.
Speaker 3:Yeah, same shit happens to me and I don't know if it's just like individual page admins deleting comments, but when I make comments on like bigger posts, you can it'll tell you. There's like this many responses and you can't see any of them yeah, I've had.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've had that too, where it's like, oh, you got this many responses so I'll click to see them and there's nothing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it'll be like 170 responses in the display.
Speaker 2:And you'll get five.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you'll see five when you open the post. It's crazy. My tweets don't go through half the time. The shit is just dysfunctional. I mean, I actually am impressed that he's managed to hold it together with like bubble gum for this long, so kudos to him for that. But this space has went poorly, uh, just in even speaking, just in terms of like how it was engineered, but apart from that, the content was fucking terrible.
Speaker 2:I think it was over an hour of trump basically rambling about some nonsense he said the same thing and then it was like, oh, the most epic interview ever coming. This like what trump's war room war room, I think had posted that and so like, after what's her name? Bethany mandel, the girl who wrote a book on dei. But when she was asking the interviewer what dei is, she couldn't explain it. So he was like, oh, it's so crazy, the same party that pushes dei. Um, they are so non-inclusive and they know that elon is on the spectrum.
Speaker 1:So when they say he wasn't a good, I'm like um, it's a lot of people who are on the spectrum, who host podcasts and and speak publicly. Uh, who who aren't a fucking disaster?
Speaker 3:that's just also like a ton of people in the world who are on the spectrum and they. That doesn't give you carte blanche to be a piece of shit like or nazi, exactly people on the spectrum who are lovely. Most of it says nothing to do with yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:Um. So yeah, being on the spectrum doesn't give you car blots to be a piece of shit, or nazi, or racist, or trump supporter for that matter.
Speaker 2:What the fuck was that all about? Because that whole the Lisp thing and you know Lisp and people like, oh, you're making fun of him. I'm like bitch. He just gave a press conference. That's not his theme, that's not. Biden has a stutter. That's something that everybody knows. That's been a long time coming, given whatever. So don't don't try to gaslight us and try to make it like oh my God, you're making fun of it.
Speaker 1:No, that was some it was bad, that was actually the best part of the fucking space. What Trump? Sounding like a moron.
Speaker 2:Yeah, not sounding like a moron, sounding like a slurring, moron.
Speaker 1:Yeah, fair enough, it was good for the harris campaign, but here we'll city. I'm sorry. What were you saying?
Speaker 3:I was saying it was the slurring that was off, and then I uh got stuck trying to make more on an adverb and um oh, the moronicity.
Speaker 1:Well, speaking of moronicity, uh, we'll let our friend from Midas, touch, ben Micellis, give you a little bit more insight onto the nonsense that Trump was spouting on that ex.
Speaker 5:Dentures started trending, daffy Duck started trending. Donald Trump appeared to be in steep cognitive decline. Let me just show you the lowlights of what went down. I listened to this whole ridiculous thing so you didn't have to. Donald Trump talked about how we saw the Time magazine cover that just came out with Vice President Kamala Harris, and he remarked that it looked a lot like his third wife, melania, and said that that doesn't really look like Kamala, but it looks like Melania here. Listen to what Donald Trump said. Play this clip.
Speaker 4:She's terrible, but she's getting a free ride.
Speaker 5:I saw a picture of her on Time Magazine today.
Speaker 4:She looks like the most beautiful actress ever to live. It was a drawing, and actually she looked very much like our great first lady Melania. She didn't look like Camilla, that's right, but of course she's a beautiful woman, so we'll leave it at that.
Speaker 5:Now take a listen to Donald Trump slurring his words right here. This is some of the worst slurring I've heard from Donald. Try to even make out what he's saying right here. Play this clip.
Speaker 4:But that's OK, that's the way I get treated and I don't mind that at all. What I can tell you is this we cannot have a Democrat. We cannot have her. She's incompetent, she's as bad as Biden in a different. Yeah, he hasn't done an interview since this whole scam started and and say what you want, this was a coup.
Speaker 5:This was a coup of Same thing. Here Donald Trump is asking Elon Musk if he should get paid for being on this spaces, and you'll hear Donald Trump just kind of slur his words. Pauses in between what he's saying. He does not seem well at all here. Play this clip Well.
Speaker 4:I think in terms of people that's bigger than you said. You said 25 and you're much more than double that number 25 million. I think you're going to be 60 or 70. And I guess over a period of time. Hey, I congratulate you. Do I get paid for this or not?
Speaker 1:Well yeah, there's a lot in there, Um so.
Speaker 3:Was that a one clip? That wasn't. That was one clip, like, of those words.
Speaker 1:Yes, that was single.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yes, that was an actual whole clip like unedited, just straight in the conversation and he sounded like that for an hour and that's why daffy duck was trending yeah, the voice.
Speaker 1:I mean, I heard the voice, but it was like that there was a complete non-sequitur well, that's how he speaks, um so apart apart from the slurring like they cut it and then like yeah apart from the, from the slurring, like you know, maybe he's doing drugs, I don't know. I mean, obviously he's known like publicly to not consume alcohol, so that's likely not an option. But hey, you know, just because you don't do alcohol, because what happened with your family, doesn't mean you don't do drugs, ask a son. Also, there was another point Trump made in there about seeing the tom uh cover with kamala harris and he said she looks like melania trump, like what the fuck?
Speaker 2:that shit was wild. For me it was like he didn't like that was, that was the, the bridge that he made in his own mind.
Speaker 1:But he did admit that is he talking about is a beautiful fucking woman I mean, she is gorgeous like the most beautiful actress on the planet I mean, she's fine, she's fire, like they'd be on like the. The bad guys be on twitter posting these pics of kamala harris, when she's younger, talking about looking this, and I'm like, yeah, thanks, like you should be wanting one who's ugly to be president
Speaker 2:yeah, thank you, appreciate it something to daydream.
Speaker 1:Thank you for reminding me of what she looked like back in the day back when she was dead, montel williams sorry, first gentleman, but I'll be dreaming about your wife here and there. Don't take it personally. We all did the same thing.
Speaker 2:Sorry, sorry, second sorry. Second gentleman, I also be dreaming about your wife.
Speaker 1:Second gentleman. Well, he's about to be the first gentleman pretty soon.
Speaker 3:Does he look like Melania?
Speaker 1:He's high, Carol, Don't pay him any mind. But yeah, that was just. I don't know what's wrong with this guy man. This reminds me of Everything.
Speaker 2:So when he was doing, everything is wrong with that guy.
Speaker 1:we'll just leave it at that, at least well, when he was doing the, getting deposed in new york for the civil rape trial, um, and they showed him that photo of eugene carroll when she was younger and he said yeah, that's marla maples. This is like 50 times worse than that.
Speaker 2:This is even more insane yeah, he's like that black girl. Looks just like my Slavic wife.
Speaker 1:Don't make no sense. We got to get this dude up out of here. But look, that wasn't like the only insane revelation that came out of Trump's Twitter. Slash X space with Elon Musk. We'll play another clip for you.
Speaker 4:And again I told you that crime rates all over the world are going way down, which makes sense, in fact. The next time what we'll do is, if something happens with this election, which would be a horror show we'll meet the next time in Venezuela, because it'll be a far safer place to meet than our country. Okay, so we'll go, you and I will go, and we'll have a meeting and dinner in venezuela, because that's what's happening there yeah, uh.
Speaker 1:He's basically saying if he loses the election, he's going to flee the country.
Speaker 2:We're seeing that motherfucker spell right now he's his passport and because he already said what he plans and that makes me wonder what the fuck, Because this isn't the first time that he's mentioned Venezuela.
Speaker 1:Well, this isn't the first time he's mentioned leaving the country if he loses.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I guess now he knows that Like fuck you.
Speaker 3:Has he left the country at all since he left the presidency?
Speaker 1:Has he left the country? No, he hasn't left yet. Or no, he hasn't left since. Or no, he hasn't left since. No, that's not true. I'm sorry. He did leave the country once. I believe he went to was it Europe or something Earlier this year. Possibly. I think he was having a court case going on and he decided to leave the country instead, since he didn't have to be president, but it did seem like he was trying to flee the country, even though he wasn't going to get sentenced at the time. It was pretty bananas. But yeah, just this guy like obviously the feds need to be Jack Smith's team needs to be taking that information to court.
Speaker 2:Where the fuck is Merrick Garland? Is he in a basement? Is he in biden's basement? Did they swap places?
Speaker 1:he's out here doing some work. I mean again, he's already been indicted a few times and the investigations are ongoing and they're still locking. They're still locking up dudes from january 6th. The dude just got 20 years, or yeah, did he get 20 years? 20 years the other day, 19 years, something crazy like that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was listening to that. I was listening to Legal AF with Popok and he was talking about like this dude is and not a big name like Stuart Rhodes or an Enrico Enrique Tarrio but he got one of the longest sentences for his role in January 6th.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he was out there battling with the cops for hours he was wilding the fuck out. Yeah, yeah. So like that's still ongoing, I mean the Justice Department has its hands full. I personally think one of the problems we've seen over the course of the last four years is they just been understaffed, considering the massive undertaking that it was just to investigate and arrest and trial those dudes who are on the ground on January 6th, not to mention cleaning up.
Speaker 1:It's OK, hold up your toilet paper, be proud, yeah, but they definitely need to go back to the judges and and play that for them and maybe change requests.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna change playing with her pussy no, that was, that was a dog.
Speaker 1:That was luna yeah who had the cat yeah, yeah, dog oh and Beto oh that was Lona. Dog and Beto today, but also Trump, because it never stops also said yet more insane things on that Twitter spaces with Elon Musk. It's just this guy has such a disaster, how did he ever make it to the White House in the first?
Speaker 2:place. It was the whole thing.
Speaker 1:I got another video. Okay, go ahead. Yeah, here we go.
Speaker 4:And what I'm going to do. One of the first acts and this is where I need an Elon Musk, I need somebody that has a lot of strength and courage and smarts. I want to close up Department of Education. Move education back to the states, where states like Iowa, where states like Idaho you know, not every state will do great because states that basically aren't doing good. Now you look at Gavin Newsom, the governor of California. He's terrible, he does a terrible job. So he bet that 35 would do great and 15 of them, or you know 20 of them will be as good as Norway.
Speaker 4:You know Norway is considered great. You can name them. I mean, they're just so good. Some of these countries are so good. But if you go into some of these really well-run states, you know we have states that don't know what debt is. We have states that have low taxes, no debt, everybody working. You know they're really well-run and maybe they have certain advantages in terms of location, in terms of, you know, the land, or the sun and the water and the whole thing. You know there are a lot of advantages that some people have.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he just sounds like Dffy duck, it's.
Speaker 2:It's incredible he really like. I was like what someone had did, like the picture of when trump was looking at his phone like trying to look all black, presidential and shit and still wearing like the usa pin, the american flag pin. And then they had changed it out for, uh, fucking sylvester the cat and it was like perfect.
Speaker 1:It's like this is perfect I gotta find that, but no, I mean just like so. So this moron says he's going to eliminate the department of education. That would just be disastrous for nearly every state, including the good ones that he was referring to, and I mean it's just part of it, like you know, department of education ones are if he thinks California is going to be one of the bad ones. No, he's talking about.
Speaker 2:Iowa and. Idaho. They are the beacon of education for the rest of the fucking country.
Speaker 3:I thought he said they were going to fail.
Speaker 2:No, Well, I do know that people in Idaho think that you can re-implant an ectopic baby, so that's why they shouldn't um have reproductive health care, and I also know that they denied free lunches but then raised their own reimbursement for.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the Iowa state legislature block free lunches for kids but then raise their meal vouchers Like just Jesus Christ and like, if you think about it, it's so crazy back in like it was what 1991.
Speaker 2:And I was a congressional youth leadership scholar and there were, like kids from all over we're supposed to be the brightest of the brightest, or whatever and there was a kid from Iowa who was sitting at my table we were having a banquet dinner and he was so excited and he was like I ain't never been to a place that had cloth napkins.
Speaker 2:And somebody said Iowa stands for idiots. Out walking around and I, when I think about Chuck Grassley today, and that was fucking thirty five years ago and fucking 1990. It's out walking around and I. They have not proved me wrong yet.
Speaker 1:So just from like a Black perspective, like the Department of Education was key in making sure schools were integrated, like, if you think about what that means, and like eliminating that it would just be total chaos for starters, but I mean it's also.
Speaker 3:They want an end to public education.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I was getting at. It's also they want an end to public education. Yeah, that's what I was getting at. It's also part of this larger plot to just eliminate public schools altogether and use that as an opportunity to fund public money to these private schools that these clowns will set up to just suck up resources and also not educate your kids and also, like our public school system already has quite a few issues in like no department of education we just exacerbate the problem.
Speaker 2:We just quickly go down in terms of like. I just found out I was picking up Jeremy from school. This was when he you know he's in middle school now, but this was in the like the last week or two of him at his elementary school and there were these people outside with clipboards. It's called a minister. I had no idea that my son's school one of 18 schools in EPISD that don't have air conditioning- oh, that's fucking crazy.
Speaker 2:And yeah dog is high down there, you in Texas clue and he was like hey, um, not the infrastructure ability, inflation reduction act like where they give money for like solar or whatever, and Texas has rejected giving those monies. And then, you know, because I put my name, it's like, oh yeah, I'm down for your calls, like I'll help you guys out. Whatever do you need, put my name number down, you know signing the paper. And so I get a text message from a guy who works for them and he was like hey, we're trying to get, because if we can get this funding and then also solar on the schools, it's going to keep the bills down, because the solar is going to be way cheaper than just you know. But because getting an average school shootings, doors, windows closed and locked so they can't even open the windows in the schools, yeah, man, vote for trump otherwise, your, your kids, are going to be microwaving their schools because they want yes and then so I didn't even know that extent he's like.
Speaker 2:You know, these kids don't even really know he was like they come home from school, they're exhausted and mom and dad are thinking like oh, they had a long day, you know, like not, and they can't articulate it like mom, dad, it's hot they don't know why it's hot, or how to really like convey what's going on, and so you know who investigates shit like this?
Speaker 1:the department of education exactly.
Speaker 2:And so we met for lunch, uh, two weeks ago oh well, not lunch but coffee, um, and he was like, hey, if I wanted to help them, in what role do I think that I could, you know, play to help get the word out and let it. He goes in there, actually, which which plays into Abbott's voucher scheme, and wanting to go to vouchers, he goes. They literally had a school that had air conditioning, close that school, put the kids in a school that did not have air conditioning, and then they turn around to the parents and go look how shitty the public school system is. Don't you want parent choice, don't you want school choice?
Speaker 1:and yeah, this is what they do. They take public programs and they try and kill them, and then they take what they did to it and show it to the public and be like we can fix it as if it just happened because Democrats are wildly spending or something about Biden and Harris. Every time it's the same playbook. If we were, wildly spending.
Speaker 3:the schools would have money, Teachers would have money. No, not only that, but Jeremy's school.
Speaker 2:So there was a push going on. They're trying to turn, and Christopher went to that school as well. He went there from second grade. Jeremy started kindergarten there what four or five years apart so I've been a part of that school system for a long time that they are trying to turn into a Montessori. So what they're trying to do with the school that Jeremy just left is it's only going to be for kindergartners and first graders. The second through fifth graders they're wanting to put in the middle school and turn it into a second through eighth grade.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay too much A sixth grade a six year old does not need to be in school with the middle school, because middle schoolers are off the goddamn chain.
Speaker 2:You're exactly right about that, they are just but yeah, but that is what they were doing and they're like and the teachers they're like get on board, but you'll have to be retrained or you don't have a fucking job anymore. And Mrs Pringle and I love it because I live here in an 80% Latino city she's a Black woman. She's been the principal since Christopher was there in second grade, like for like 10 plus years. The day before the last day of school we get an automated message and I could hear it in her voice hey, this is Ms Pringle. The district is going in a different direction, so I will not no longer be here. And you can tell. And I was like, why is it just the day before and we get this at like six, seven, eight, nine o'clock at night before the last day of school that she's not going to be there anymore. I go, that's some pushing her out, shit like that is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so not only are Republicans ruining schools for your kids, they're ruining for the teachers too.
Speaker 3:Well, they want to push all the teachers out so that there aren't good jobs. That's why they don't. She was amazing. They want to scare them out, shame them out, shoot them out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let them die in a shooting. That's probably plan number one.
Speaker 3:But that's part of the plan. They don't want teachers. They have quality teachers, social public schools.
Speaker 1:And that's why you got to vote for Democrats and make sure Trump don't end up back in office. All right, so on to Trump's obsession with people who look like his wife or any number of his wives.
Speaker 2:Even if they're black.
Speaker 1:Even if they're black or a man. Apparently, it was revealed to us over the course of the past couple of days that there were pictures of JD Vance practically dressed in drag, wearing a wig and what appeared to be a skirt.
Speaker 2:There was no practically about it. D Don't sugarcoat it.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean it's not like he was like Drew. You about it, d Don't sugarcoat it. It's not like he was like Drew. You know RuPaul's Drag Race style Everybody can't be that fabulous.
Speaker 2:He tried.
Speaker 1:He was giving energy. What'd you say, Carol?
Speaker 3:He was in shape.
Speaker 1:Right, he was in shape. No, he was in that one picture with, like, his hand right behind his head. He thought he was a bad bitch. But yeah, so was a bad bitch, um, but yeah, so you're a bad bitch, jd vance. Jd vance has never yeah, he ain't never beaten allegations, like if you thought it was unscrupulous to infer that he might have had sexual relations with furniture.
Speaker 1:I mean, this is doing nothing to help those allegations I don't keep shame I don't either, but this is the party that specifically targets, you know, the lgbt community, specifically people who dress in drag and drag shows and such.
Speaker 3:They paint them out to be the devil and make all these incendiary attacks is a sin because he can't get it pregnant, or whatever I mean there are a lot of, then that couch is a miserable couch cat lady, I guess.
Speaker 2:Well, my cat loves my couch, so I guess that makes that couch cat lady I mean, there are a lot of women who can't get pregnant either.
Speaker 1:So like, how do we draw the line in that regard?
Speaker 3:Well, you know what that's to ask them if they tried or if they wanted to.
Speaker 2:But you know what you say, that D is something that, yes, madam Vice President, does not have bio children, but we don't know why that is.
Speaker 1:And I ask you something. So like it ain't even our business Bingo. It's none of our fucking business.
Speaker 2:But you know what, when Doug and my ex-wife when she made her little post and made her statement, she's like I'm just going to say this and leave this here no notes. She has been amazing to Doug and my kids for the past 10 years she has been their mom, we have co-parented, and even his parents, when there was going to be a but a seniors for Harris and his parents were like how can I get in on that? Like because I was like they love her. You know, I was like like you too. It is not for me and she owes us no fucking explanation of why she does not have bio children. She owes us none of that no, you don't ever ask.
Speaker 1:you don't ever ask a dude who ain't got any kids why he ain't got no kids and why the fuck you got to put those social pressures on someone just because they're one On the woman? Yeah, just because it's a woman. But then if a woman wants to okay.
Speaker 2:If it's just about kids, then okay.
Speaker 1:She's got adopted kids.
Speaker 2:They don't want to denigrate women that have kids.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and make their lives difficult. Yeah, it's just, regardless of the situation, they just find a way to use it as some kind of attack. But back to jd vance here. Um, obviously it's. It's pretty clear jd fancy um. So after these pictures were released, someone on twitter said his drag name was ashley furniture, and I just found that to be the most hilarious shit I ever heard in my life.
Speaker 2:They want the internet, whoever that guy was, somebody called him JD Vance and Quinn and I said I can't.
Speaker 1:I mean, he was already getting hit with the Vladimir futon and now this? I mean it's pretty bad, but this is just yet another indictment of Trump's failure to run a reasonably functional campaign. Right, you did no vetting of this dude whatsoever, you didn't ask no questions, you didn't, you didn't even do like a Internet search history on this guy, because there's all this information that suggests he was a dumpster fire before. You had to pick him and all you had to do was try and find half this stuff dumpster fire before you had to pick them and all you had to do was try and find half this stuff.
Speaker 2:And you know what? Somebody had mentioned something and they were like when is trump going to realize that the heritage foundation and jd vance are just waiting to get an office so they can 25th his ass? And I was like that makes all the fucking sense, because I really absolutely believe that, because the way that Trump has turned against it oh, I'm not with Project 2025 and JD Vance is all in. He wrote the foreword, he wrote the blurb in Kevin Roberts book. I think that that's their ultimate goal. I have zero doubt of that. So when someone had posted that, I was like you know what?
Speaker 1:I don't know like if he won again I'd have to poison him slowly with yeah I think they'd have to kill him. So I yeah, they're not gonna 25th him, and part of the reason why is if he somehow managed to pull out they're gonna neval me him, I mean if he pulled off this victory he would have so much political capital that I don't think you know, obviously, the people he's going to appoint to cabinet positions, probably taking some kind of loyalty oath or fealty sworn.
Speaker 2:Fealty to him awards but we all know, though, that jd vance was not trump's pick. No, I'm sure he was the Heritage Foundation.
Speaker 1:Probably partially, but also just Trump's nature to not pick someone who compliments him or bring something valuable to the ticket. He likes to have people, that one he can control. And then two double down on the Trumpy shit.
Speaker 2:And somebody that's not going to overshadow him.
Speaker 3:Also that he wouldn't have thought that JD Vance would kind of overshadow him, you look so cute Negative press, kind of taking some of the attention. But maybe I don't know if he was smart enough to have a forward-thinking plan that he would choose someone.
Speaker 2:Okay, you already lost me at smart enough, because that's not a thing, karen, what you lost me at smart me, because that's not a thing, karen. You lost me. It's smart enough.
Speaker 1:That's not a thing yeah, trump's not smart enough, but, like I was saying, like he didn't do any planning to choose an incendiary running mate to get to make his thing well, like I don't know.
Speaker 2:That's why he never would have chosen Doug Burgum, because, for one, burgum has way better hair. Two, he's an actual billionaire.
Speaker 1:That was never going to be a thing no, but the reason why jd vance is incendiary and trump didn't. You know like trump didn't bother to do his due diligence and that's why vance is so incendiary. But also, I think, beyond that, trump also wanted someone like clearly, who would do what Mike Pence wouldn't on January 6th, and like certify those fake electors which JD Vance has said that he would have not certified the election. Exactly, and that's more than just you know him being heritage foundation.
Speaker 2:slash elon's panty boy, no offense look, we, we need to, we need to do some deep dives into why this motherfucker changed his name. And I was talking to uh, jackie, jackie's seat and I said you know what? I feel like there's some nefarious shit going on here, because one, if you look at when he changed his name each when he met his wife, I personally and this is just, I know we don't do reckless speculation much anymore- reckless speculation is that that was the disclaimer when he changed his name and we don't get sued he was running from something I you cannot well, he talked about in his book how he was dealing with some identity issues.
Speaker 1:Uh, in his youth, possibly surrounding you know he's dealing with some serial killer issues. Well, that might be possible, but dealing with like issues of his sexuality and not being sure whether or not he was straight or gay. I mean, there's also like a happy medium in between there, I guess look, david and I got married what?
Speaker 2:four or five months ago and I haven't changed my last name because it's such a pain in the fucking ass to get a new social security number, get new passports, whatever. This motherfucker went through the whole ass process of it a bunch of times multiple times to go, and then you got to get all new papers. So you ain't, you ain't doing that.
Speaker 1:Unless you, I don't know right, and these are the same people that are talking about, like kamala harris, not having an identity and changing who she is, even though she's the same person she's always been well, no, laura Loomer was like no, was it?
Speaker 2:Laura Loomer was like one of those other MAGA influencers and they're like are they really married? Why is she Kamala Harris? Why doesn't she go by her, her husband's last name? It was like, I don't know, maybe the same reason that fucking Tiffany Trump doesn't go by Tiffany Boulos because her husband's a fucking lebanese raised in nigeria, motherfucker, or same reason why nikki haley don't go by namrata yeah, exactly yeah, but no I'm sure like an oil, but like an oil air what'd you say?
Speaker 2:he is his dad was. So what I have gathered um just in the research of what I did on michael bulos is his dad was working in nigeria, which is where um tiffany trump's husband grew up so he's like not necessarily a diplomat, diplomat.
Speaker 1:What'd you say, Carol?
Speaker 2:He's got a whole bunch of shit going on.
Speaker 1:Oh, he's the Nigerian prince with the email you know what. That's where all the money from the Nigerian princes went Went to that guy. He's the only one who answered the email.
Speaker 2:I'm just trying to get back with the Gambia Because I should have took my chances with the Gambia because I should have. I should have took my chances with the Gambia when they were sending me all those DMs back in the day wanting to get married maybe.
Speaker 2:I could have got me some duels I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have I should have. I should have Shot my shot With the Gambia. She's such a beautiful language.
Speaker 1:Next time you get it right. But yeah, you know, maybe JD.
Speaker 1:Vance can take your spot down there in Gambia, obviously like it was. We said this at the time on the podcast. I think I said it even on Tony Michael's show, like the day the pick was announced. Day the pick was announced, this was probably the worst vice presidential pick in modern history, at least in televised history, and that's in a world where Sarah Palin exists and that's proven to be true. The dude is polling so unpopularly it's almost unbelievable. It's unreal numbers. I don't think I've ever seen a VP pick poll in negative numbers weeks after the announcement.
Speaker 2:You know, and this may be an unpopular opinion, but you know I was a Republican and just looking in a strategizing type of way, trump should have picked Nikki Haley to be his running mate.
Speaker 1:Well, he couldn't, for the reasons we spoke of before, largely because she likely would be a Mike Pence, in the sense that she's not going to be willing to overthrow the government.
Speaker 2:But as far as I'm talking about votes, I'm talking about polling, I'm talking about he could always kill her later. I mean standing Nikki Haley.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're talking about winning the election, but this is like Trump's thing, right? He doesn't think about winning an election in terms of expanding his base, because he's never done it. He got elected in 2016 with a minority of the vote and spent every day in office never trying to reach out to people who didn't vote for him. He only tried to consolidate the base.
Speaker 2:But he's got a little pump, a little pimp. I don't know what's his name.
Speaker 1:My God, jesus Christ, I'm not talking. Why, why are MAGA rappers so bad? We'll, we'll have to get into that, Like me my Gucci loafers are good.
Speaker 2:I got to take these off.
Speaker 1:Oh, loafers are good. I gotta take these off. Oh okay, thanks for sharing with the podcast. We can't see your shoes, but we appreciate that you fly down there as well. You don't have to prop your feet up. I know it's probably some people listening or watching this on that buckle, baby, yeah, watching they, they. They just got their fetish fix in for the rest of the podcast. Carol's in bed you're holding up your shoes like they don't need anything else. They, they, all you know what's so crazy?
Speaker 2:I was telling david I go. I bought these shoes in 2000. I was at saxon avenue in new orleans and they were three hundred dollars. They're like about a thousand dollars now, but I used to wear them every fucking day and you can look at the bottom and they look flawless, like they've never been worn. And you know, I had, I was, I was a rich bitch back then, but yeah, we'll talk about that on another podcast.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, shoes fly. Uh, you got your money's worth they are fly. I did those are the ones that are hand assembled, right? I might be wrong about that. We'll get the fashion guy on here, Derek, to talk about that one day. The other Derek, not me, the one from Twitter who does the men's wear shit.
Speaker 2:Oh, who does the the?
Speaker 1:yeah, I know who you're talking about. That's my guy.
