Ladies and gentlemen, the President elect of the United States, the Honorable Donald John Trump.
Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. It will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders. A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America. Look at that, it says TikTok. My, my, my, what is that all about? TikTok is worthless if I don't approve it.
Could you imagine Biden doing this? I don't think so. The ice hockey team's doing great. Ovechkin. Ovechkin's pretty good, right? Some stupid things are happening. Oh, you're gonna be happy reading newspapers tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day.
Yeeeah, welcome in to another rousing rendition of Libservative Intellectual Idiots. Fostering political and cultural literacy. Bell the body snatcher back on the ones, the twos. He has always is Corey Walsh and he's Dan Griffin. Are you wearing that shirt? Oh, because I love America and I just spent, uh, all weekend long in virtual China on Redbook.
You know, that shirt is my country. Can't tell me what the fuck to do. So I'm going to. Fucking moonwalk into communism and hang out with some Chinese in the Redbook app. That is so bizarre because you're on like the Kami app. Talk about the ultimate fucking censorship backfire with the United States trying to ban TikTok.
But you're, but you're also wearing a, an American flag shirt, which is a Nazi dog whistle. So I don't, I don't understand what's going on in the world. And also a defamation of a flag. So maybe. Yeah. Yeah. They love it though. Take that, take that America. I'm wearing your shit. Yeah, we're definitely going to be talking about that.
Oh, what do we have today, Corey? Uh, uh, first of all, if you want to know if somebody is like, uh, I noticed this by watching a lot of the inauguration stuff on Monday, if you want to know whether somebody is a Trump supporter, just watch how they dance. Like if they can't dance. They're probably a Trump supporter.
You see, after Trump left the, uh, the stage after the original inauguration speech, there was like people that were like waiting, I guess, inside the arena for the parade. I don't know what the hell was going on. They were jumping all over the goddamn place. I couldn't tell what the hell, who the hell was where, but it was just show like 57 year old Karen's in the stage.
Just doing like, they're all doing like the Trump dance. Like can anybody that supports Donald Trump dance? Anybody? You gotta work on that. He's gotta work on it. Snoop Dogg was, uh, I've never even seen Snoop Dogg dance. He kinda just does that steering wheel thing. Kid Rock was there though. He could dance.
Kid Rock can dance? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure there's videos of Kid Rock dancing. Pull that shit up, find a, find a video of Kid Rock dancing, uh, or have fun, this is Trump's America now, fuck it, it's like, it's like the game show, whose line is it anyways, where the rules are made up and the points don't matter, I'm so sorry you asked him to do that, uh, Marco Rubio was confirmed, that makes sense, yeah, well, no, Kid Rock cannot dance, what about like, Kid Rock when he was like a rapper, No, just a lot of bouncing around and uh, well, that's what dancing is You've done a hell of a lousy job If if that's considered well, I guess I guess this is true, but if what he does is dancing Then what we do is CNN, you know what I mean?
Okay, well that's, that's offensive . Yeah. That one, that one didn't land with me. And I'm, I'm been hit like that, like cnn. Right. And now I'm just uncomfortable little guys til I wanna see, I wanna see Bell act out kid rock dance. No, no, I don't. I'm sorry. I asked. Don't do that. Oh man. Don't do that. I had it. I had it in my heart.
I was about to do it. I'm just kidding. I can't do that. Did you guys see how, uh, how, uh, the establishment is going to get Tulsi Gabbard? You see how they're going to get her? No. Apparently somebody released some emails from 2017. I don't know if it's emails, some sort of correspondence. I didn't really read into it that much.
They're all from me.
Working for the campaign. But no, apparently, uh, after her, after her meeting with Assad in 2017, Uh, she did not report the visit properly and on time, so she met with Asahd yeah, no, but that's already been talked about. Like, that I know! But if Like, that only would have been a big deal if she used her appropriated money for, like, her seat to, like, pay for it, like, government money.
But she paid for it out of pocket on her own dime. And just went to the country. She didn't do anything illegal. Also, also, to be fair, she did come back and she was like, she's not that bad. Yeah, right. , that's, that's sure. Yeah. Well, she came back and said that, I don't know if she used those words. He's not.
Well, yeah. She was like, she humanized him. If anything, which we should be humanizing everybody. But uh, that's when, that's when Barry Weiss went on Joe Rogan's show and called her a toady and then couldn't, and then couldn't define what a toady was. Right. Um, but you know, she came back and she was like, I truly believe he didn't use chemical weapons.
And it's pretty much all but debunked, right? Yeah, she's a toady. She's a toady. And Assad, I gotta, I gotta find that. I got to find that clip of Barry. Cause this is just too fucking hilarious. Here we go. I got it. I got it. I was quick on this one, boys. If I can figure out how to goddamn share it, I've been doing this long enough.
You think I could figure this out by now? There it is. They call, they call her a New York, they just say, New York Times writer. Here we go. This is, this was so good. It's so insufferably stupid.
I don't know who can beat him. I don't know who can beat him. Who do you think can beat him? That's a good question. I don't know. I'm so worried. Duh. Yeah, but I'm so worried she's gonna run again. She's gonna muscle her way to the top. I don't know who can beat him right now. And I'm, I'm, I don't know. Why do you think that?
Right, and the question, right, is like Because as things keep going further and further south, what about someone who is a centrist Democrat? Doesn't that make more sense? That someone who's gonna, who's a rational person, who's on the right, is gonna look at this person Don't say the name. who's maybe, uh, economically conservative, but socially liberal, and say, this is really where I'm leaning towards Yeah, unless they run someone on the far left, and like on, on an identity politics platform.
Ah, right, right, right. That's what scares me. Yeah. That's not gonna work. Because Well, it could it though, because I don't know, because Trump's whole thing was, oh, screw the Senate. I just need to make my base go apeshit crazy for me, but there's still a future matter what I know. And I'm worried that the left, the Democrats are going to try and replicate that strategy and be like, we just need to make.
Our base go apeshit crazy rather than running someone that can win the center. I I see where you're going, but I think that pouring conversation is maybe my Liberal bias, but I think that people on the left wouldn't fall for that the same way people on the right would I don't think people on the left who saw what he talks about his liberal bias woke.
Yeah, right left I think there's a lot of people in the center be like what i'm gonna just gonna vote libertarian, man I'm gonna vote for gary johnson or some shit, but okay, so who's in right now? So we have kamala Kirsten Gillibrand. Oh! Monstrous! What a monstrous idea! When she was 22, she had No, she's an Assad toady.
What does that mean? I think that I used that word correctly. Jamie, can you check what toady means? Like toe in the line, is that what it means? That's the type of shit I do all the time. But I come off more humble, I guess. What does that mean? It's pompous. Barry Weiss once was. That's wild, like. But you wouldn't make that claim so drastically, uh, Again, like, I can't find my words right now.
Confidently. Confidently, without knowing what the fuck that word means. Yeah. She's so embarrassed. Look at her definition. She's like chewing on her pen. A person who flatters or defers to others for self serving reasons. But you didn't use it right at all. So she's an Assad sycophant. Is that what you're saying?
That's where I actually, uh, kind of can have sympathy for her because like if you look at my writing versus like my speaking. There looks like a 20 or 30 point IQ difference there. Because I could take the time. What did she say that qualifies her? I don't, I don't remember the details. You probably should say that before we So, so she goes in and she goes Tulsi Gabbard is an Assad toady, and this is known, and Joe goes, Well, what did she say that makes her an Assad toady?
I don't remember. I'm just like, so confident. That's just, that's an example of fallout for propaganda. Say that about her. We should probably read it, rather. Well, I have read it. No, I'm gonna read it right now. Oh, oh, yeah. Okay. Just so we know what she said. Look up Tulsi Gabbard. Dude, dude, she was okay with it because Joe just saved her.
You know what I mean? Joe just saved her. Oh yeah, for the audience, obviously. Oh sure, yeah, definitely, yeah. That's all it's for. It's not for me. I'm not the fucking idiot. I'm talking to her. Dude, it's wild because, well, I think she's like the most Because I like Barry Weiss now. But I remember this shit.
You know, most of her stuff, yeah, like, Like, she's uh, she, Because she, And the best you're going to get from someone is Just admitting that like, yeah, you know, I was kind of duped. I'm trying now. Like a Cuomo. You're still not. Okay with Cuomo, I've given him more, I've given him a lot of credit for like, for where he was till now.
Like when I was watching the inauguration, I watched the inauguration with Cuomo on News Nation. I didn't watch it on MSNBC or CNN or Fox News. And dude, he was honestly being pretty fucking objective. And he had people on his panel from the left and the right. And one of them, Biden was coming in, you know, and uh, who else, who else didn't have their wife come?
Someone else's wife didn't come to the uh, inauguration. Oh, Big Mike! Big Mike Obama didn't show up. And And, uh, goddammit, no, that's what, you're gonna make people think that we're a show that we're not. I'm just kidding! Michelle Obama, she's a beautiful woman. She didn't show up to the inauguration. She also seems like a little bit of an anchor.
But go ahead! Um, but they, uh, they were there, and then, like, they came in without their wives or whatever, and, um Someone mentioned it and then, uh, Cuomo was like, yeah, but come on, you think this isn't the first presidency where people's wives didn't show up. It's happened before. It's happened all the time.
The only reason you're even bringing it up is because of who the president is. And it's like, that makes pretty good sense. You know, like, it was like, wow. And then there was something else he said, but like, he was just the subtle things that like are just tiny little, like micro insertions that people put like, just because of their biases and forming a narrative is just everywhere.
I knew you it back around. And it's not unique to America. It's unique to everywhere. But, uh, you're, yeah. And it was very, very kind to Barry Weiss and Barry Weiss. Well, Barry Weiss now, well, very, very recently, it's gotten a little rough, you know? Yeah. Cause ask her, ask her about Israel and she'll just spew propaganda all throughout her entire, she'll spend all the time spewing propaganda.
You want to finish, you want to finish watching her, uh, make a fool out of herself on Joe Rogan over Tulsa Gabbard. Guess you really don't want to see this, but I fucking do mother bad ideas. What other load? No, I'm mother about that. You think she knows the definition of mother load, but maybe I'm wrong probably I don't think I'm wrong Well my take on her was that I think as a person who's coming from the left Who's also a veteran and is very articulate and sensible and a woman and in talking to her We didn't get into Assad or any of those things But talking to her about what she feels is wrong with the current administration and the way things are running and a direction she thinks things could go in.
She had some very promising ideas. I don't, I didn't know about this stuff. But doesn't she also, did she ever apologize for believing in conversion therapy? I didn't even know she believed in conversion therapy. Am I crazy? Yes, she did. Is that real? Yes, you're crazy! How positive this is real. I think her father ran like a center for gay people.
When you say conversion therapy, you're talking about gay people. Yes. No, I didn't know that. I never heard that. I did hear something about when she was very young. She was like 20. She is so confident that Tulsi Gabbard is a monstrous person and doesn't know the first thing about her. Yeah. She had said something about gay marriage and civil unions that she apologized for and said that she evolved.
She reveals she met Assad in Syria without informing top Democrats. I'm telling you, she's She said she went on a fact finding mission in support of peace for Syrian people who characterize U. S. backed rebels as terrorists. Stop fucking over the woman, dammit. Yeah, she's, I mean She even looks uncomfortable.
I can keep looking, but I just I'm telling you Judge Amy comes in to save the day! I can come back on when I know more. Okay, but let's, let's, we can do this another time. Who do you think stands out for you as someone that would make a good president? Yeah, she wants to have And working for an anti gay group, the back conversion therapy.
Anyway, she wants touted for an anti, she worked for an anti gay group. She worked for them. Like she had a job there.
Where is she pulling this from? I mean, she's not wrong. She's right. Tulsi Gabbard did do those things, but it was crazy. It's like, well, at this point when they're having this conversation, she changed her mind. I'm not exactly sure where her mind is. You know, as one person I would love to meet for a third time would be Tulsi Gabbard and just real, just say, There's a name drop.
You dropped your name in there, but it was still a name drop. Well, right. And just because, well, I didn't mean to say just to say on frigging TV again.
No, just to see me like, Hey, so where do you lie now? I'm like, because like. My views have changed since then and I know yours fucking have at least on fucking Fox News But where do you stand on some of these other issues, right? I'm just curious to see like then I could say not bashing you just it's growth And what led you to those like I probably wouldn't get that much time But boy, I sure would just love to sit and have a beer with Tulsi Gabbard.
I'll tell you why Oh, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you? Don't you know? See that sign back there that says Aloha, Corey? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then she went like way a little bit too Trump. And then you kind of now understand why she did it. Anyway, honestly, that Tulsi Gabbard thing. I just wanted to make fun of Barry Weiss for a minute.
Just for a minute. It's one of the better podcasts out there with honestly. Yeah. And what she's doing in Texas with the free press and uh, that. University like oh, well, that's the thing. It's like Barry. That's why Barry frustrates me so much because She is, I don't think she's, she's a decent journalist, but I don't think she's that brilliant at the same time.
I think she's like a hard worker and she does a pretty good job for the most part until you get her on Israel. And when she gets on Israel, I just turn it off. I can't listen to her speak for five seconds on Israel. This is so, Jake, so just anecdotal evidence. I'm trying to think of something that I wouldn't want to talk about because I feel like I would have too much bias for.
And we move on now, that's cool choice, you know what it'd probably be tried to explain like trying to like Take the hill for all men when like, when you hear a girl talking about men, it's like, well, wait, hold on
But it's like you just it's just it's a losing battle every time you just gotta just kind of just be like yeah Well, I'm glad I'm glad I'm not like those ones, right? You can pick your spots, if they're just open and then you go and then you say, Trust me, you'd be safe with me in the woods. And they're like, what the fuck are you talking about?
I just met you. Well, the thing about it is, like, you're married, so it's like, who gives a fuck? You know what I mean? Like, Well, it's different now. Yeah. So that's another thing, right, with the inauguration, since we were on that topic. Kind of went off on a tangent there, but Well, I haven't even gotten to my remarks yet.
Okay, go ahead. No, you're good. Tell your story, because you have ADD, and I don't want you to see a squirrel. Go for it. And, uh, so me and my wife were watching the News Nation, right? And then we were just, I was like, I wonder what M-S-N-B-C is saying right now and let, switched to M-S-N-B-C. And we just got done watching Trump's speech, like his, like inauguration speech, like the first one, uh, on News Nation.
And me and my wife watched him, you know, and then like 20 minutes or so go by, we're watching News Nation and like, they, like, I think Koba goes. So there's definitely gonna be some things idiot. That's left idiot. On, on, on Grab eye on cable news. And there's definitely gonna be some shit that the left is gonna grab onto in that, and then like, they were just talking about it and stuff, and then you go to MSNBC, and it's just, He gave this divisive speech, and da da da, and I look at, and I say to my wife, and at this point, she's not really paying much attention, she's in the kitchen.
Where she should boot. No, I'm just kidding. . I'm just kidding. She just happened to be in the kitchen. Okay. And, uh, I was like, so do you see this shit? And know, I said, do you see how they fucking to qualify that ? Do you see how they fucking, uh, just spin a narrative? And she goes, yeah. She goes, and my wife's like pretty big feminist, right.
Sure. And, uh, she's a woman. She goes, it's allowed. Yeah. She's that's, that's allowed. Right. That's what I mean. Like as a guy, like I can't, it's that's something I'd be too biased about trying to defend. But anyways, so they're going off and off and off. And my, and my wife goes, yeah, the speech wasn't that divisive.
I'm not sure what they're talking about. And I said, you see this awesome. Like why the fuck are they making us defend Trump? And my wife and her undying wisdom says, well, they're not making us defend Trump, they're just making us defend the truth. Ooh, profound, right? And I was like, I'm glad I married you.
You just realized you were glad. Good for you, buddy. No, no. She's always just bullshit. But yeah, she said that. And I was like, you know what? You're fucking right. And the truth is way bigger than Trump. It's like, it's not about Trump. It's the truth. Yeah. And well, and he, he did, you know, he did what Trump does and spewed a lot of bullshit.
But like I said, like I've always said, there's a lot of like, you have to see through that. And that's what MSNBC doesn't do. They don't, they don't like look through that. They don't look through the WWE character that is Donald Trump. Like put the bullshit in a box over here. It doesn't fucking matter.
It's kind of funny. Who cares? It's at the end of the day. It doesn't matter. Yeah. Me and her were sitting on the couch just cracking up because you got to see so much Trump and he's just like, he's on stage and we were just, just on the helipad saying bye to the Bidens. We were out there. I thought money was going to blow away because of her hat and he goes, and you know, he's like, they went to the helicopter.
That's tradition. You know, it's. My boy over the, uh, my boy, he goes, wait real quick. He goes, that's tradition. You know, it's, it's tradition. Ever since, uh, probably ever since they had helicopters, , and it's like, dude, what the fuck? My boy over at the, I we're about to get fucking four years of this and he's had more press conferences in his two days than Trump, and then Biden had in four years.
Yeah. Oh yeah. Well, he, he, he even had the media in the fucking, in the fucking oval office on night one as he's signing executive orders and answering back and forth at the media. Yeah. It's bizarre. Like we didn't see that for four fucking years, dude. I have to make this one comment on Melania's hat though, because it was so, it was, it was so good.
My, my boy over at the drew lane show over here in Detroit goes on the air today. And he goes, I think Melania was wearing that big at as like a, as like a blocker. It's like an anti kiss blocker so she didn't have to make out with Trump during the fucking during the during the proceedings Just trying to keep him away.
It's like a buffer Uh, what else did I have in my rundown here cory, uh, oh biden and trump handing out pardons like mardi gras beads Like his ass, Biden's leaving and handing out a just all these, all these blanket preemptive pardons that were so bad that Trump was going to do this when he left in 2020.
He was going to pardon his whole family and all of his buddies. He didn't do it. Didn't do any of it. And, uh, Joe Biden comes out and pardons Anthony Fauci, the J six committee and a bunch of his family. And what I find fantastic about this is that a, a number one, and this is key. Because like this can kind of still be saved to where Biden can go, well, I did it because I thought Trump was going to, you know, use the justice system against them, which, you know, for these people, every, every, uh, every accusation is an admission of guilt.
You actually, if you receive a pardon, you do have to accept it. Right. So like these people could all reject these pardons and it could just be like a matter of like signaling of some kind. They're not going to do that. They're not going to do that. And according to longstanding American jurisprudence, people who accept pardons.
Are actually admitting some form of guilt. Well, yeah, that's just because everyone knows that. Like why, why would you need a pardon? Would you, if, if, if, well, because Trump is going to use the justice system as a weapon, you don't know this by now, have you been in a box for the last eight years, what's the matter with you?
That's a more of a rectangle. Jesus. Heh heh heh heh. Oh, shit, buddy. I gotta dig a little deeper. There's dope in me. Some of you gotta be kidding me. I'm not passing through with my face. Oh, shit, buddy. I gotta dig a little bit deeper. That's my other poster. Uh, yeah. Fuckin Charlie up there. Uh, oh, we have to pretend Elon Musk is a Nazi now.
Where that's the newest thing we're supposed to do. You know, I am not going to use any of my energy to try to explain away him doing something that looked a lot like a Nazi salute. Mm-hmm . Sure it did. It did. But I also, yeah, looked uncomfortably like a Nazi salute. Ew. Like, yeah. Like at best he's a dumb ass.
At worst, he did be the Nazis. Right. Uh, but I'm also not outraged by it at all. I don't really think. I don't really think that it, like, it was, like, I don't, I don't know, I don't, you know, like, there's, like, so for context, like, I'm on, you know, I'm back on TikTok as well. There's a lot of autistic people on TikTok defending him right now.
That is not what I expected you to say! And so, I mean, obviously the algorithms, you know. You watch one video of an autistic talking about how, like, talking about autistic's man, people's mannerisms, education, right? People explaining their mannerisms, and like, their social cues, awareness, and things like that, and, uh, So you watch one, and then all of a sudden, there's just a bunch of them, and a lot of them are like, So, Cory, can I ask you this question?
Was, uh, was Elon Musk dog whistling autistic right wingers with that salute? That sounds like, that's funny. I did my, I did say to my wife, I'm like, you know what? We might have to research the, the like, 'cause we are, the day before we were talking about like the artistic voter base. No. Uh, so the other day we were talking about like how like the, the health of fitness pipeline leads to like an a right pipeline or like an alt-right pipeline thing.
You know what I mean? Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I go to the gym. The algorithms. The algorithms. You know what I Right. No, you get what I'm saying. The algorithms push that shit. The algorithms push that shit. Then all of a sudden it starts feeding right wing shit into watching your health videos on TikTok or Instagram or whatever.
And I said to my wife, I'm like, I wonder if there is a, like, an autism to, like, right wing pipeline as well. Or is there not? And then she's like, no, there's a bunch of autistic people who are, uh, liberal left. And I was like, yeah, I guess you're right. So we didn't do any research because we didn't need to, but You should have.
Yeah. You should have done a little, you should have done a little research. Someone sees. I will. Don't, don't do your own research, Corey, or, or Bell.
But, uh. Oh, shit, buddy. I gotta dig a little deeper. There's no Pepe Silva, you gotta be kidding me. I got boxes full of Pepe. But yeah, like, he's a grown ass man. I'm not gonna defend him. I'm not gonna say like definitive. It's like watching a 30 second cop video. And then being like, Oh yeah, that's, I know exactly what happened here.
Clunky, clunky, awkward. Yeah, it was all those things. But imagine, imagine if, imagine if it's flipped, right. Imagine if, uh, we go back to 2020 and, uh, Elon Musk is at the Biden inauguration and he does the same gesture and says, my heart goes out to you. What's the narrative then? Well, it would be the same, but it would just be conservatives.
Yeah, the right speakers would be like, Hey, they're not, he's over there! Yeah, I told you they're fascists. Yeah, yeah, they're the real, they're the real The KKK is Democrat Party. Uh, we now have the gulf, we now have the Gulf of America. Hillary even found that funny. By the way, when Trump first took the podium for his inaugural address was every, was anybody just staring deep down into Bill Clinton's mouth?
His mouth was wide open for like the whole beat. Yeah, he was gaping. Uh, uh, Bush, like George Bush looked like he was like a third grader at a Christmas play. Just fidgeting and just smiling and just not staying still. Just sitting there, just happy to get out of the house. Your mom's dead, George. You know, she's not watching you.
She's not watching you today. I know she's out there somewhere. She's out there to watch me do my song. Oh, and what was the guy's name? Uh, is it Charles? No. Go ahead. Another thing I wanted to say was, uh, because we were talking about, uh, Melania's, uh, clothes or whatever with her hat. Like, she looked like Raiden from Mortal Kombat, first off.
And, but, like, her dress style, like, it's wild. Like, her fashion, like, Like I found the perfect way to explain him. It's a 57 Bel Air, like Chevy Bel Air. And it's just, it's very, it's very classy. It's very crisp. The lines are bold, but there's curves like, yeah, she's also hot. She's also hot. It's just, well, 57 Bel Airs are just one of the most beautiful cars ever made, you know, and she just, her fashion, like, it was just so fucking sharp and clean.
Here's Corey being a misogynist comparing a woman to an automobile. I'm not objectifying her, I'm talking literally about this. 67 Corvette. I guess, I guess, is that misogyny, comparing a woman to a car? Probably. 67 Corvette. Not her, I was talking about her fashion. Okay. I bet you, I bet you, she would take that as a compliment.
Then what is, uh, what is, uh, what's Jill Biden? If, uh, if, if Melania is having belly, no, Jill, Jill Biden, she's, is she like a Is she like an 86 Pinto? So that's Hillary. I don't have an answer for that, but uh, but Biden probably does. My 67 Corvette. Yeah, that's why he married her. She's such a monster. Was it Bell who sent us the meme earlier today of the selfie of Jill and Joe and it just said, taking him to put him down today.
Yeah, taking him to put him down today. Jesus Christ. Chris, uh, We've gotten more transparency from Trump in two days than Biden's whole presidency. Like, yeah, we said that. Like, we got more press conferences out of Trump in two days than we did. Not all of it good. Yeah, I mean, two years. You can't, you can't really deny that.
And then, like, all, all the, uh, all the, uh, uh, establishment media can do is talk about like, well, you know, he moved the, uh, he moved the, the inauguration inside because, uh, he was afraid of crowd size being too small. It's just like, it's just all these stupid ad hominem attacks. Is, is the official narrative it's called a shit, but I'd be, I also.
I also think it was a security willing to pull out. I'd be willing to pull out the tinfoil hat and say there might've been a copi, a cons, a security issue. There's already been two attempts on his life. I mean, come on, man, like this. It would make complete sense. If that were yeah, he's not he's not gonna be able to walk down the street like he did last time Did you see uh, who who's the guy?
that was giving him all the uh, uh Executive orders to size it. I think his name is charles easel or azelle Um, he's the uh acting director of office personnel management He's the one like announcing the executive orders in handing them to trump During the, during the time in the Oval Office when he's at the Resolute Desk and he's trying, like, he's just, you can tell he's just trying to get through this.
Like, he would be, like, getting ready to read the next one and Trump would just have to go back and forth with the media. He's just, like, He would stop mid signatures to start spouting shit off. Yeah, and he just wanted, like, you can tell this Charles guy just wanted to go to bed. Like, he was just so exhausted.
He just, he just had a really, really long day. He was going very, very impatient. Dude, yeah, just watching him, like, It's wild just how, uh, how like you could just get into the mind of Trump just because of the way he talks and stuff like that. Like if you remove just thinking he's an idiot and you're just trying to figure out like what he is trying to say.
Like there was one person, someone asked him, uh, which country you're going to visit first. And he's sitting there and he goes, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what country I'm going to visit first. I visited Saudi Arabia the last, the last, uh, the last time, uh, you know, they offered, uh, to spend 450 billion on American goods to bring to their country.
He goes, so he goes, He goes 450 billion dollars on American goods. So yeah, I went there first He's uh, he goes, maybe I'll go there again if they do that again, but this time I'll ask for 500 billion because of inflation What the fuck are you saying dude? Donald Trump is a bad guy. He's a bad person He throws them all off guard.
It's wild. You've done a hell of a lousy job I feel really bad for all of like the 18 year olds and 19 year olds who were too young to realize it They just heard people say he sucked and didn't really grasp living with him as president And now, because there's a lot of people in America who are freaking out because they didn't deal with this once, maybe we're just shell shacked.
I mean, you gotta admit, inauguration day, other than like, Rachel Maddow melting down and like, complaining about crowd size and whatever, it was a relatively uneventful day. I mean, it was eventful, and then like, and then like, we saw, yeah, that's true. Yeah, Musk being all clunky with his hands. I mean, it was a relatively uneventful day.
There wasn't any like crazy, like, like shoe throwing or anything like that. It was, it was eventful in that, like we had, we got a deeper look into day one of a presidency than I think we've ever seen before in American history, which I think was by design. And by the way, I think it was fucking brilliant.
I think it was absolutely brilliant bringing the media into the Oval Office as soon as he got there, while he's signing these executive orders and just fucking talking to the media. I mean, I mean, it was almost like watching. An athlete after a big game, uh, just talking to the media, talking to the media in the locker room like they do, not even a press conference, but just talking to me in a locker.
I thought that was interesting. I actually love that. I think that should be, I mean, Trump or Trump or whoever it is. It doesn't even matter. Like that should be the norm going forward for whoever is president. Yeah. And it reminds, you know what it reminded me of? It reminded me of, uh, FDR. Like during the depression when every single day he came on the radio and talked for at least a half hour.
It was his fireside chats. He did, you know what I mean? It's just, whether you agree with Trump or not, it's at least good to know what the fuck he's up to. Where he lied to the American people day after day after day about government spending. FDR's a monster. Like, we can have that, we can have that, we can have that discussion another day, but FDR is a monster.
Wait, that's why you think he's a monster? No, it's more than that. Not because of the internment camps? Yeah, no, he was a tyrant. He was one of the three worst presidents in the history of the United States. I firmly believe that. We can have that discussion another day if you'd like. Uh, what else do I have?
Oh, Trump was like an eight year old on Christmas while he was signing those executive orders. I was just like, ooh, he's like, he's opening the next present. He's like, ooh, that's a big one. This is a big one. Yeah, that's the best way to put it. Like a child on Christmas Day. Oh, wow, TikTok. Wow, I got the new TikTok guy.
Ooh, look at that. It says TikTok.
Uh, and then, you know, there was some bad, you know, we're gonna have another huge wasteful infrastructure bill. Uh, did you guys see that, uh, Barron, we'll get into that in a minute. Hey, oh yeah, hey, Bell, real quick, that investment bill, I don't know, you might, I don't know if you know the answer, is, is that it considered America investing?
Is that what he's calling it? Where it's basically the government spending another 500 billion? Or is that private companies investing and it's just him? You know, pushing for that. Yeah. Find that bell. Cause we're, we're actually going to come back to that in probably like two minutes. I was going to say from what I know, it's literally just giving companies money to research.
Government subsidy. So you're tax dollars. See if you can dig in a little bit more because
we're gonna, we're gonna dive back into that in a couple of minutes, Bell. Uh, and get back with us on that. Um. Uh, Copilot tells me the new AI infrastructure bill known as the Stargate project is primarily funded by private sector investments. The initial investment is 500 billion with plans to expand to 500 billion over the next four years.
The key investors include OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle with additional contributions from Microsoft, NVIDIA, Arm, and the Middle East AI fund MGX. This massive investor aims to build data centers across the United States starting with Texas and is expected to create over 100, 000 jobs. It is probably fun.
Yeah, the AI is definitely going to do that. That means my NVIDIA stock is about to rocket again. I'm loving it. Thank you, Nancy Pelosi. Um, I'm also reading that something that Corey mentioned the other day in the private chat, or when we're, I don't even remember we were all talking, but it's, uh, the MRN, MRNA vaccine for cancer.
They think that. The AI will develop that so my guess is that they want to sell that shit Oh, well, yeah, they did they mentioned using a new AI program to uh, Create vaccines, you know who's gonna fight, you know, who's gonna fight that hard big pharma, baby A lot of money. No, no, no. He'll probably be all for it.
Because, uh, You know, he's, he's, he's for going for, for legitimate cures as to where Big Momma's like We make a lot more money if people are sick! So here's what's interesting though, because they were talking about making unique vaccines using AI for individuals. Not just a blanket vaccine they give to everyone.
And that was for cancer they were saying. By the way, I just had this at the bottom of my site. Sorry to turn it. We'll come back to it. Um, but I just found this at the bottom of my opening remarks. It's, it's, I did not look into this. I just heard it in passing and I want to make sure it's bullshit. I hope it's bullshit.
Maybe bell can find a force. Is there any legitimacy to this 750 from the federal government for tipping them for tipping off the feds on illegal immigrants? That sounds like bullshit, but, you know, I, you know, It is bullshit. Is it bullshit? Okay, I just wanted to make sure. Yeah. Yeah, we don't, we don't want that.
That's bad juju. Yeah, they're not gonna pay up anyways. You saw the person who added out, uh, Luigi Magione. Magione. Um. What was I going to say? Uh, I was, we were talking about, oh, the AI thing or whatever, but you know what's so funny? I was thinking about this too. It's like, what's going to make this like 500 billion actually go further and do all this shit is Biden's like infrastructure bill and chipsacked.
Which, which was paving the way to do this shit in the first place, and Trump's gonna come in and take credit for fuckin all of it. Every, every ounce of it. Well, and what's funny is like that's Democrats are gonna lose their fucking minds. No, here's the thing, they won't, and that's why the Democrats suck so bad at politics right now, because that is something that they could actually point to, and be like, yeah, Biden started this, but what are they gonna do?
They're gonna stick to identitarianism. They're gonna stick to the, they're gonna stick to the salute. Well, yeah, shit like that. Exactly. Yep. Here we go. This is from Fox News. As a candidate in 2016, Trump promised to push a 1 trillion infrastructure bill through Congress. He talked about the topic as president often during his first term from 2017 to 2021, but it did not come to fruition.
Former president Joe Biden signed a 1 trillion infrastructure bill into law in 2021 with Republican and Democrat lawmakers to fund thousands of projects, rebuild roads and bridges and fund new climate resilience and broadband initiatives. The second Trump administration in the new Congress will have opportunities to put their stamp on the infrastructure law Biden passed.
Agency officials will be able to award tens of billions of dollars in remaining competitive grants Brookings institutions said in a blog in november, that's fair and instead of pointing to that they're going to stick to identitarian bullshit That's what the democrats do and they're going to lose they're going to lose again I mean unless unless there's a big change, but I don't you know, i'll believe i'll believe the big change Uh, when I see it.
Um, do I have anything else in my opening remarks? Nobody's been, I don't think any of the three of us have been keeping up on the ceasefire because I, I personally have just been too distracted by Elon's Nazi speech. I think there's going to be a couple of prison releases. Yeah, there was a hostage exchange today.
There's just no time for silly things like wars. I did see a headline that is Open fire in janine or something like that. Yeah, they shot some people in the shot. I think they said, uh, six people in uh, So, uh, what'd you guys think
What'd you guys think of the inauguration speech overall? Because, uh, to me it was surprised. Like I'm talking about the first one. Cause the arena, the arena one after the quote unquote parade was much better and all that shit. Yeah, much, much more Trumpy. And the, it was, uh, you know, kind of sunk a little bit like Jeb Bush in that first one.
Other than the beginning when all of the establishment had to sit. Directly behind him and just listen to him shit on them for the first five minutes Of the speech they're all they're all right behind him I've honestly i've never rooted more for an old man to let out an accidental fart Then I was rooting for Trump to do that particular moment.
If you just crop dusted the shit out of all the establishment people behind him, straight up McDonald's farts. So you guys want to watch the beginning of it? You want, you want to watch it and comment, calm. I have it. We can comment on a little bit. I'll leave it up to you. At first I didn't know, I didn't know if he was all, I didn't know if he was all like low toned because of the Sudafed, but I thought it was pretty decent.
Oh yeah, well the Sudafed, Sudafed generally uh, really gives you a little bit of extra energy, I don't know. I don't know, it's like alcohol man, you take a couple shots you're Ooh, you take six, seven shots. I got it kind of queued up to where he actually starts speaking, but like, look, hold on before I even start playing it.
Look at Bill Clinton's mouth. Why is it wide open? Like what is, what is, that's just how he looks. So is he just, is he just, is he just merging into, is he just morphing into what Jimmy Carter was? Like Jimmy Carter just passed on his mojo to Bill Clinton where he's just going to sit there with his mouth wide open going, ah, is he the current, no, uh, Biden's the current oldest president.
Isn't he? He's older than Bill Clinton. I believe he is. Fact check that for us. Fact check that for us. Is, uh, is Biden older than Clinton? Who's the oldest? Is it Trump, Biden, or Clinton? No, Biden's older than Trump. I know that for sure. Yeah, he's older than Clinton. I think Trump and Clinton are the same age.
The golden age of America begins right now.
Vivek in the back, he's already gone. From this day forward, our country will flourish. There it is. I knew it was there. Good fart. Nice bass to it. Good push. Bill Clinton's four years younger than Biden, by the way. That's what I thought.
He's just farting up a storm back there. It's crazy. Wild.
Our safety will be restored the scales of justice will be rebalanced Ah, fuck jamal bowman. The fire alarm get out of the justice Jamal bowman's there will end hold the fire alarm
And our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud prosperous and free
America will soon be greater Stronger and far more exceptional than ever before. Ever before?
I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. Trump and Bill Clinton are of the same age. There it is. Well, you're not that smart. I don't know what's going on. You're just showing off on friggin TV again.
As we gather today, our government confronts a crisis of trust. Come on. Just crack presidents. The establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens, while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly in complete disrepair. We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home, while at the same time stumbling into a continuing catalog of catastrophic events abroad.
It fails to protect our magnificent, law abiding American citizens but provides sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals, many from prisons and mental institutions, that have illegally entered our country from all over the world. We have a government that has given unlimited funding to the defense of foreign borders but refuses to defend American borders or, more importantly, its own people.
Our country can no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina, who've been treated so badly. It's just bullshit. And other states who are still suffering from a hurricane that took place many months ago. Or more recently, Los Angeles, where we are watching fires still tragically burn.
From weeks ago, without even a token of defense. They're raging through the houses and communities, even affecting some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in our country. Some of whom are sitting here right now. They don't have a home any longer. That's interesting. We can't let this happen.
Everyone is unable to. do anything about it. That's going to change. Biden's crashed in the background. That does not need a lot of times. They really need to have this angle the whole time, right? Their country, anywhere in the world, right there when he, and we have an education and teachers it's no one could do anything about it.
And it's pretty wild. I think that's when he loses his spot. On the teleprompter, because then he clicks right back into talking. He's not, he's not a teleprompter guy. He just knows, he just knows not to have dead air. children to be ashamed of themselves in many cases, to hate our country despite the love that we try so desperately to provide to them.
The best is when he reveals that all of this will change starting today. I will change very Biden would just say, end of quote. Yeah, he would. My recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal. And all of these people are all right behind him that have taken place. And to give the people back their faith.
Their wealth, their democracy, and indeed, their freedom. From this moment on, America's decline is over. Is it? It's great again. Look at Joe.
He's like, you're right. You're right. Kamala is pissed. She's just like Yeah, cause Biden keeps coming out saying that he thinks he could've won. Yeah. She has the syntax to him. She wants to be their less than big mic.
Pfft. He was pointing in the right direction, that's all. Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and indeed to take my life. Just a few months ago in a beautiful Pennsylvania field an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. Ew, gross! But I felt then, and believe even more so now, that my life was saved for a reason.
I was saved by God to make America great again. It was Jesus. Jesus was there. Everybody stands except for the crew. And Doug Emhoff. Doug Emhoff stood up. Oh, I bet Kamala did not like that very much. still sitting. Thank you very much. I don't think I've ever seen Barron smile. He looks it's it's a miserable.
That's my Cohen.
That is why each day under our administration of American patriots, we will be working to meet every crisis with dignity and power and strength. We will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety, and peace for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed. All right, it gets boring after this.
I think we're, I think we're, I think we're done. Biden fell asleep by now so the entertainment's over. Yeah, that's why he didn't stand up for the ovation. Biden was sleeping. Yeah, he was crashed. He was just out like a light. Oh, man. Barron never stood up either. He didn't have to. He was still taller than everyone, even though he was sitting down.
Six foot eight. He's six. That's amazing. Six foot eight? Yeah, that's how tall Barron Trump is. God, he's a tall motherfucker. Six foot seven, sorry. Oh, okay, maybe not that tall. No, that's a big deal. CBS, CBS said six foot eight. I was like, Jesus Christ. Must be nice. I mean, how much, I mean, you could, you could stand up and blow him, right, Bill?
Like, straight up? I don't know, man. It's a good question. You have to bend his knees a little bit. You're what, 5'3 Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeeeees! It's actual audio from Barron Trump with, uh, Bill. Is that right? Oh, yo, that was him saying, Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! And you know what? Lemme tell you something.
through God. All things are possible. So go ahead and jot. Jot that down, Jo. That down. That is so, that is so profound. I'm so proud of you. We need to have that soundbite first off through God. All things are possible. So go ahead and Jo jot that down. That's . . Yeah. You guys wanna play a little game? You guys ready for a little game's game?
Little game. Action. We're gonna play a game. Who's in my mouth? Well, nope, that's Barron and Bell, they play that together.
We're gonna play a little game called The Good, the Bad, of the Unconstitutional. With regards to Donald Trump's first couple of days here in office. Let's start off on a positive note, gentlemen. The good of Donald Trump's opening executive orders. Number one has gotta be, if you're anywhere in the libertarian realm.
Tick tock. The, the, no, shut up. The pardoning of one Ross Ulbricht, who Trump Truth as Ross Ulbricht, because he misspelled it when he fucking truthed it out. That is a campaign promise kept to people that really were not a part of his crowd for a long time. And honestly, it was one of those where I went, I really hope he does this.
I really hope he does this. I really hope he does this. And didn't expect him to do it after he got elected. And he absolutely did it, probably the best thing Trump's done so far in his first, whatever it is, 72, 72 or so hours in office. For those who don't know who Ross Ulbricht is, the, he ran the Silk Road, the FBI went after him with a bullshit murder for hire scheme that they couldn't pin on him.
And now you have some people on the left that aren't really happy about this, calling him a drug dealer. He was not a drug dealer. He ran a little bit of a black market operation. When you're a libertarian, you understand why that's important.
Uh, also good for legal purposes, and this is really going to piss some people off on the left and that's okay. Um, I don't want to piss anybody off, but I'm going to say what I feel for legal purposes, the fact that there are, the United States government is only going to recognize two genders. Doesn't mean I have a problem with your identity, I don't give a shit what adults do, as you guys know, as you guys know, I don't care, uh, however, from a legal perspective, it's kind of important that there are two genders, cuts out a lot of the grey area, you know what I mean?
Yeah, I just, I don't, I don't care, I'm not a doctor, I'm not a doctor, so I don't care. He's not a doctor. The thing is, the thing is, you don't need the government, you don't need the government to tell you to be nice. And you don't need the government to affirm your identity, or at least you shouldn't. Yeah, like you don't earn your liberty in Afghanistan.
Yeah, that part. You don't need the government, because there are, like, it's, it's, uh, a silly thing like that I think is too broad. It's government overreach. People are going to be who they're going to be regardless of who they are. There are people who are intersex. I'm not talking about people who The guy wearing the American flag shirt says that.
I'm not talking about people who are trans. You know, like there's people like the term hermaphrodite or whatever. I don't know if that term is outdated like Asperger's or anything like that, but A little bit antiquated. There are people born with Don't get bogged down by all the haters out there. A downstairs mix up that have both sides.
So like just because, just because and that's probably like 001 percent right? It's probably almost like a non issue like statistically. If it's more, if it's If it's, yeah, if it's more than I apologize to the ones that didn't include, as I'm not saying this to be a slight, but, You're not that smart, I know what's going on, you're just showing off on friggin TV again.
Uh, but because, but because there is that small sliver to just, Oh no, it's one or the other. You gotta get rid of one, I guess. Sorry. Like, it just seems silly. It seems silly to have to like waste our taxpayer dollars and waste our time to worry about that. I agree. I agree. And, but, you know, And then when it comes to being out in society, or even working for a business, like, Like, if somebody wants to be called one thing or the other, just don't be an asshole.
If someone, like, Right. You call them that. Yeah. And then you ask for grace if it's someone you've known your entire life. As one sex and then all of a sudden they're like, I'm another sex. You ask for grace while you transition with them into the well, isn't, isn't time to come to terms with that? All of a sudden it switched on you because you don't know where Corey, isn't that where most people feel like it got crazy?
Like when you like when it was like a trans person was just like somebody who was born female that felt like they were a man or vice versa. And they transitioned to the other sex like. Most people, even, like, hyper conservatives can, like, at least wrap their head around that, you know what I mean? But then when it started to be like, Well, actually, on this day, I'm a woman, and on this day, I'm a fucking bear, and on this day, I'm a cat, like, that's when it got crazy.
You know what I'm saying? See, the thing is, The thing is, like, who gives, I, like, I don't give a shit if, if you want to be a bat. I'll just be like, hey, batman. But, like, But do you understand, Bill, why you can't, what, that you identify as a bat on a fucking, like, like, paperwork when you're at the hospital?
Because, because if that's the case, you should go to the vet. Because you're at the wrong place. Yes, correct. You're a cat. So, so right. I'll call you a bat, but like, let's be real with each other. You know, you get shot. You don't want me to do that. Batman, we're drinking. We're drinking too much and you fall off the porch and dislocate your hip.
You're not having me take it to the vet. You're having me take you to the hospital. I'll call you back all day long. Well, and like, dude, this is a conversation that I've had with, you know, the handful of trans people that I, that I personally know where people that are genuinely trans. They just want to blend in.
You know what I mean? They want to do their thing. They want to pass as whatever sex they identify as. And so many of them do. You think about the Buck Angels and the Blair Whites of the world. It's the people that are just You can tell the ones that are searching for attention. You know, it's, it's, it's the guy that like still has a full beard, puts on some eyeliner and a fucking mumu and goes, I'm a woman now.
You know what I mean? Like, like this idea that like all trans people are created equal in that regard. It's not, it's not true. It's not, it's not reality. Like a lot of the trans people that I associate with, which I'm not going to lie, it's not many because it's honestly still a small, very small segment of the population.
They're like, yeah, when I go to the hospital. You know, you say they're a trans woman that still has male parts. They're like, yeah, I still let the doctor know I have male parts because that's actually really important to how they treat me or whatever my ailment might be like. Like there's there's a reasonable way to be a trans person.
And then there's nonsense. Right. Can we agree on that? Yes. Anyway. Anyway, that was that was going to be the most controversial one that I had, and I'm going to take so much shit for that. I'm a bigot, whatever. Uh, the next good takeaway from Donald Trump's first few days in office. You know, I'm a bigot. Uh, first day in office.
I'm a bigot, whatever. 72 hours. Yeah, because it's a word that doesn't mean anything anymore because it's been destroyed. Uh, the, the withdrawal from the W. H. O., fantastic, fantastic piece of legislation. Why, why is this good? Because now we can have more science. Because the Who and the Anthony Fauci's of the world identified as the science.
The same way Corey identifies as a cat. Some days, right? Did I say that? You know, sometimes when I get really drunk, Dan, I say things in confidence. But, I don't appreciate them just being brought on the air and smearing my character. Yeah, well. A meow one time. A shit in a box one time.
He shit in his kid's sandbox one time. You know, so that's, so for any of you, for the tip, for a tip for anyone out there who does want to Decide to be a cat and shit in a box, and you think it's gonna be tough to get your family to, like, allow that to happen. What you gotta do is Just shit on the floor.
Again. And again. And again. One on top of another. And then, no, don't clean it up. Your family's not animals. You're the one asking us to be animals. God, that's gross. You just keep shitting on the floor. And then, one day, You finally shit in the litter box. And they will look at that as a sign of improvement.
Next good one, the expedition of fossil fuel infrastructure, because Joe Biden said he was going to reduce our emission by emissions by 60%, which was always a pipe dream. And anybody with half a brain knew that even the most green of green, green, green people knew. That that was an absolute pipe dream, and Corey and I, I think, I think all three of us are in the same boat when it comes to green energy, we're all for the research, we're all for trying to figure out ways to reduce emissions, but we're also, actually I'll speak for myself on the second part of this because I don't know how you guys feel exactly, I am also for Making the fuel that we have as cheap as and affordable as possible while we need it.
Like, this idea that you can't do both things really drives me up a wall. Like you can't invest in green energy. Mostly in the private sector is what I would shoot for. Especially when everyone's wasting like A shit ton of energy just researching random dumb shit on, uh, ChatGPT and AI shit, like we do it all the time.
I'm not saying I love it, but like, we are using more energy now than ever while also trying to the energy source like in half because wind doesn't always blow, the sun doesn't always shine, I'm For these type of technologies, but let's be real. It's more of a NIMBY, which is not in my backyard than anything, because there's still mining for these resources, especially when it comes to solar panels, you need all these different, uh, chemical compounds and these different things like silica and things like, uh, all of this stuff is just as gross as mining for coal or doing oil and stuff like that.
It's just done in third world countries. So you don't have to see it in your backyard. You don't have to see the oil wells. You don't have it. So it's, it's not really cleaner or better. It's just getting sanitized and then brought here. Yeah. And, and obviously, and also nobody, nobody wants the soul. Nobody wants to live next door to a fucking solar farm.
You know what I mean? Like it's not, not exactly an attractive looking. Right. Yeah. Now solar farms that like, uh, like solar panels on a farm, like if they raised them up, you know what I mean? Like 1520 feet to where like you had them strategically placed to where it's like, you can have the sun sun's reflection, like still hit crops.
Like if it's pragmatic and it makes fucking sense or like windmills on a farm, like it's a cornfield. And then on that cornfield, you know, there's 1520 windmills makes complete sense. You're using. The land is economically as possible and as efficient as possible makes sense Makes more just make it all make sense.
Yeah, make it all make sense. We have to stay woke You know, like if you have like a sheep farm You have a sheep farm you put the windmills out there. You put the solar panels out there They have some shade they they they go and they eat all the grass around the windmill or the solar panels So you don't have to go over there and mow it like it's Last good thing I have, uh, from Trump's first 72 hours, at least as we know it before we started the show tonight, uh, a pause on new regulations and foreign aid.
I like this, not because I'm like against all regulations or anything like that. You know, even being a libertarian, I think, you know, there are places for certain regulations in certain instances when they make sense. Uh, minarchist, not an anarchist. Uh, and the, but, but, but particularly the pause on foreign aid, like, can we take a second and audit this for just a minute?
So I don't think I really need to explain that one a whole lot. It's just like, let's just stop the flow of money going out for just a minute and assess the situation for no other reason. I think that's, I think that's actually a pretty pragmatic executive order signed by Donald Trump. In his first 72 hours.
You want to comment on that? Or I think I pretty much covered it because unless you have a, at least you have something, some sort of a pushback on that. A pause on foreign. Good job. Good job On foreign. Oh, on foreign aid. Uh, they took our job. We know, know, I mean, we already, like, if it's just a pause on new foreign aid Right.
We just try to figure our shit out. That's, I, I'm not against that. Like we already give out a shit ton of foreign aid. Like we're talking a lot fucking a but LA's on fire in North Carolina. Still in shambles. Yeah. Shall we get to the bad? Let's look us on home. We have to get to the bad. Because it's not all good.
I'm not a Trump supporter. Those who are new to the show. I know it's kind of sounded like I have like basically this entire hour. If you're new to the show, uh, the bad blanket pardons on January 6th. And let me, let me explain this for a second because I am fully aware and conscious of the corruption that took place within the FBI with regards to the folks who were thrown in prison over January 6th.
Alright, and it was a huge percentage of it was complete, was complete bullshit. However, talk to people on the ground that were actually there on January 6th that aren't, you know, Trump sycophants and also not, you know, cucks for the establishment. And what happened that day was a legitimate riot. I think we all, I think all three of us agree on that, right?
We don't call it an insurrection because that's a stupid word that doesn't mean anything anymore now because of January 6th. And that just isn't what it was. But it was a riot, and when a riot takes place, there's a crime somewhere, and there are probably multiple crimes committed somewhere. Uh, when the left comes out and wants to talk about how they went in guns a blazing and people died and officers were killed, they weren't.
You know, there were two officers that died after the fact, one from a stroke, the other from, I think, a heart attack or something like that. Completely indirect. There was one person killed that day, it was Ashley Babbitt, she was a protester. So, I don't, I throw all of that completely out the window.
However, I think you need to have a case by case investigation. And by the way, was it, is it Pam Bondi, uh, that was, was open to a case by case investigation of this. And I do think most of these, I would honestly go on a limb and just throw out a random number and say, without looking at anything. Probably 95 of these people, 95 percent of these people should be freed if for no other reason.
Obviously the first reason would be that they really actually didn't commit a crime that day. But also the other one is they probably committed a minor enough crime. To where they've already served enough time to where they should obviously release Yeah, but there are some though that were like being real assholes 100.
Yeah. No for sure That that was a lot of those people. They broke windows. They trespassed they committed some lady, right? Remember there was Cause remember, there was two protests, and like, in the beginning, they, they, if you remember when this happened, in the beginning, they were showing a lot of footage of the other protest as well, and that footage slowly started to slip away as the shit started to, like, the narrative started to be built.
The Capitol Police thought that the people in the back that were rioting And trying to break in, that if they just opened the doors, they would just come in and go out the other side. But they also opened the other side. And so the people on the other side, who weren't being violent and acting crazy, saw the doors being opened.
So they walked in. So there's this weird, fuckin uh Uh, compilation of footage of people walking through the fucking rotunda, staying inside the fucking ropes as if they're on a fucking tour going, they're on a field trip, like old women, like 80 years old, just smiling for cameras cause they all thought they were supposed to fucking be there.
And then on the other side, there was people being real pieces of shit. So there's a convicted lady. They called her Maga Granny. The one in the purple fucking coat, right? Yeah, so Hey! She turned down her party. I guess they're right. Senior citizens Oh, did she? although slow and dangerous behind the wheel can still serve their we broke the We went against the rule of law and blah blah blah.
Dude, she literally She literally looked like the fucking grandma from Hey Arnold. All senior citizens should have life alert.
Yeah, she should have because they, because they don't know where she was when she escaped from the wrinkle ranch. Uh, but yeah, it's just, it's wild. And it's, and like. You gotta look at this objectively, and at the same time, six, for six months before this, a lot of people on the other end of the political ideological spectrum were burning places down, firebombing police stations, shit, I remember watching this shit and just being Like just a weird sense of like excitement watching the footage on Twitter just being like what the fuck like Like a really really fucking nice like piano store And you just sees people are smashing windows and then it turns and someone's in the middle of the street playing the piano just Beautifully while everything around them is burning and it's just like no she was black and then the next one is someone else at that same piano and then like it's just All this footage is going on and you just keep hearing this Plonk, plonk, plonk, plonk, plonk And then it turns and then someone's just banging on the keys And then like, fuckin A guy just dressed as Batman walking through the smoke While all the fuckin people are rioting and shit Like the footage and then like The Michael Jackson guy on top of the car Dancing and singing Wild, wild, wild shit But, the economic damage, the physical damage and the lives lost in those protests was a hell of a lot more than it was the January 6th one.
And the concerted effort of the January 6th one was way more vast than the concerted effort versus all the protests that happened. Like whole blocks, like a block in two different cities was taken over. Fuck Trump and all them when they try to say the whole city was taken over by chopper, all the different chairs.
It was literally like Maybe the size of it like two end zones to a football field You know, I mean like it was media sensation playing it up way bigger than it was but that shit was They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us and we will not stand for it That's right. It's like and so it puts you at a crossroads, right?
It's like do you want all those people on your side who got who didn't get arrested and mass arrests to not be mass arrested? but then also shows some sort of some sort of like Equal end of the law and then let the other side get their pass too? Or do you want all them locked up and then do you want all your people locked up as well?
No, it's not one or the other because if you're it is if you're The other side is bad if your answer is one or the other then you need to check your bias Check your, check your privilege. Yeah. Nothing says white privilege like the president fucking pardoning you for fucking breaking windows on the capitol building.
You wanna know what the worst one is though? Cause that was, that was one of my bad. That's just boys being boys. He didn't mean it. Yeah, they're just being silly. Silly gooses. You've done a hell of a lousy job. The other bad one that I had from these first 72, and there were probably more, but like, I'm just, you know, a lot of, a lot of executive orders were signed, but this is another one I saw that is just, just so not good because of the implications of it.
And I know the MAGA crowd loves this one, but declaring the Mexican cartels as terrorist groups. Has a lot of downstream negative effects, potentially, because what I don't think, what I don't think the mega crowd understands on this one is, I don't hate this, like the principle of it, because, you know, you want to reduce the amount of fentanyl and whatever coming into the country, but there is another way to affect that change.
Which is, stop with this stupid quasi drug war, that's the first thing, but also, when you declare that Mexican cartels are a terrorist organization, that gives the president a lot of power that I'm not comfortable with any president having, at all. It gives you essentially, the ability Order of Consequences.
It gives the president essentially the ability to send the military into Mexico to deal with the cartels. And I know there are a lot of people out there that say, well, it sounds good to me. Let's get rid of them. And it's like, that's, that's not good. One. That's one example. Another example would be. You just being a friend with an illegal, because you are a legal American citizen working on a farm and your boss hired an illegal.
Okay. All of a sudden this person has a Well that has has a tie to the cartel from from some Then all of a sudden you're ensnared and you're an accomplice. You know what I mean? Like this just The, the broad brushstroke when it comes to terrorism, like when you look up all the stories of all these Middle Eastern and all these Arabic people and all these Muslim people in our country who were just American citizens, but because you throw it, you slap that terrorist label on and people lose all their rights.
Innocent people, a lot of innocent people lost their rights as an American just because of the color of their skin and the broad reaching, the broadness of the reach of just. And the fact that they, as you said, Corey, and the fact that they worked with somebody who was suspected of being tied to Al Qaeda or something, you know, the Patriot Act, you guys are like, I'm sure everyone knows what the Patriot Act is at this point.
It's my favorite. We all live within a hundred, um, uh, miles of the, uh, border. You, you designate the cartel as terrorists, now the government has just carte blanche to just look at anyone's fucking phones or like their houses or surveil because you're within a hundred miles of a border. Not to mention.
Border Patrol has a hundred mile jurisdiction from the border. Like all of Michigan, Border Patrol has any jurisdiction they want. Yeah, and not to mention Florida, let's be, let's be very clear from a definitional perspective, okay? I'm no fan of the Mexican drug cartels. I don't like what they do. However, It needs to be said, that's stupid.
However, but, but no, I have to say that because, because I have, because I have to preface it, I have to preface that because of what I'm about to say. They're not terrorists. They're not terrorists by definition. All they really are. You want to be really, really honest about what they are. They're black market capitalists.
That's what they are. They're black market capitalists. They are providing a product that people want. That is illegal in the United States that they can sell. Someone asked if that's a far reach. And I don't even remember what I said. It could have been, was it, was it, was it, was it the comparison of, uh, uh, Al Qaeda to the cartels because yeah, that is a car, that is a far reach.
As I just pointed out, the cartels, they're not, it's, that's not, but no, I'm saying. Uh, what I'm saying is, is designating them as a terrorist group could potentially ensnare a lot of innocent Americans who are just affiliated with an illegal immigrant. Cause if there's, uh, the whole everyone would be sus.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't think that is a far reach. Um, you look it up. There was a lot of Muslims that were ensnared because of, uh, Because of the fact that the terror, the Patriot Act was going through, like they would just, they like they would find, had someone who might've been like accidentally related to a terrorist in Afghanistan who had no idea because it was in America and their second generation.
And they said something that was criticizing the American government, which is supposed to be protected by the First Amendment. And then they would get it stare and it'd be just be questioned. And even if it's something as simple as having to go in and be questioned or the FB showing up your house, that's fucking scary.
No one doesn't want that. And then on top of that, it's not a far reach because the Patriot Act itself. Already can illegally search and go through any of our shit at any time without having to exercise the fourth amendment of getting a warrant because sections section 702, which by the way, Tulsi is a fan of now.
Sorry, I had to throw that out there. See, uh, but, uh, I'm gonna move like this so you can't see your name on my wall. But, uh, no, yeah, it's, no, the Patriot Act, like, Edward Snowden, like, was, like, that's why he's in Russia. And he still hasn't been pardoned because he exposed the whole gambit. But yeah, like, if you look up, let's say, like, I'm sure I'm already on the list because I've used this example.
You look up the word fertilizer. It's a tag at the NSA, bing, and then it's just, they just look at a couple more of your searches, right, and it could be a bunch of porn, and then some fucking 20 year old who works for the NSA is just chuckling because you were looking at porn, but, it's, it's that basic, well, well fertilizer can be used to be, to make bombs and stuff like that, right, and uh, well I'm expecting it.
You take forever to say nothing. And so, there's keywords that are searches that give the government access to your private information without your acknowledgement and without following the proper procedures of obtaining a warrant and things like that. So, expanding on that and all of a sudden now You had the Mexican cartel, now a far reach would be to say that 16 year old Cory, who was buying brick weed that came from Mexico and Detroit from a guy named Hugh, who had no business being in Detroit, a 16 year old, is just going, Thank you, sir!
I could have been ensnared at 16 years old. It's just bullshit. Because I had connection to a fucking cartel. But, no, weed's legal here now. That's, that's, now that's a reach, but, uh, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do have, I do have an off the air, maybe we can talk about it on the show board, I can do it now, but apparently I was involved in an international drug scam.
Oh, okay, so you said it was really a question, so I hope I, I hope I answered it, like, in my clunky way of speaking, but I don't know. Anything that circumvents the constitution under the guise of security needs to be said a little bit. And that's a, that's a great segue because I have my number one. We did the good of takeaways from Trump's inauguration.
We did the bad. I now have the unconstitutional, the good, the bad, and the unconstitutional. And see Dan, everyone does that weird caveat thing. Remember how we were saying the caveat where we, you said, uh, you were talking about how we don't think this is good for the cartel, but I have to say that I'm not a fan of the cartel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. This poor guy. He goes, so I am a Republican point out mega. Yeah. Like you're in a safe, you're in a safe space, bud. God, even if you are mega, we don't care. Uh, so the unconstitutional ending birthright citizenship. So Donald. You don't just get to change the constitution with an executive order.
That's one of those ones that politicians love to do just to say that they're trying to do what they, what their constituents hired them for. It's going to go into the Supreme court and it's going to get challenged and he's just going to get to go. Oh, shucks. Darn it. Well, I tried guys. Yeah. Well, yeah.
Well, well, that's the thing. It's like. That's what's so weird about the, like, small faction of Trump sycophants. It's just about the attempt to get it done, and then he can turn around and go, Well, the federal government stopped me! It's, it's fine. It's all good. Uh, what did Witt K. say, Ked say now? Uh, not concerned with what people think, just coming from a different direction.
We get it! He's a true center rep, or at least tried to be. Yeah, no, I mean, there's, there's a lot of nuance in, uh, being in the center is probably where more people should be. I'm going to, I'm going to finish up the inaugurate. I'm going to finish up the inauguration with this. And if you guys have any other comments, you can deliver them, but, um.
My takeaway from the inauguration and the first, I don't know, whatever it's been now, 72 hours of Trump's second term. People can say whatever they want. Uh, I'm no Trump fan as I have to, as I have to throw that caveat out there. Uh, however, I will say that Trump and his team, yeah, we are, we are, we are, we are.
Trump and his team have shown to be very, very determined. It seems as though. They have a plan for better or worse, whether you like it or hate it, doesn't matter. Uh, they seem to have a plan, you know, for whatever that means to you just in this amount of time. And, and this is, I took this note yesterday.
So who knows how much this has changed from then to the, uh, to us talking about it now, but 200 ish executive orders within this amount of time, which I'm no fan of because I think the executive branch has way too much power. Uh, some of them, as we've talked about, we're fans of, I'm fans of some that you're not fans of.
You're fans of some, I'm not fans of, it doesn't really matter. There really does seem to be some semblance of competency. Is that the right word to use here? As far as like having a plan that they want to execute, whether or not it works, whether or not it's a good idea, I guess not the word ambition, not competency, but ambition.
I think those two kind of, those two go hand, those two words go hand in hand. Well, the, the competency is very subjective, though. The ambition is pretty like, it's, you know, even when, even when you got someone who's not gonna sports, but they're Sure trying, I mean like, hey, you have to admit though, he's trying Trump, Trump couldn't enter the pre pre presidency without one last grift with that mean coin.
He made one for his wife too. That's so funny. I don't know if they made them though. I think they might have just been made. Well, I know that the Trump coin is him. Yeah, he made a lot of money on that. And I look at that and I go, If you lost money on that That says so much more about you than it does about Donald Trump.
The NFC championship. Trump's a grifter and he's really good at it. And it's like, if you were, if you were the idiot that lost money on that coin, it's just so much more about you than it does about Trump. The actor says, I can't wait for the next four years. Honestly, we can't either. It's going to make our jobs a hell of a lot easier.
He's so fucking fun. It's then who's actually. Press conferences every day. It gives us, it makes the job of just bullshitting about this stuff. It really does. Just gives us so much, so much material for better and for worse. We got one from Biden. Like we've had more press conferences than Trump. In these two days that we, uh, uh, probably laundry, um, but, but we got, we got,
we got like zero, we got zero press conferences with Biden. So, uh, I hope for the best. I'm apathetic towards the worst. It's almost like people who lived through World War I or World War II in a sense, because like now we're just shell shocked. We already dealt with four years of Trump. We got another four years.
I don't have TDS this time. Let's fucking go. Whatever. I expect, I don't either, I don't either. I fully expect, just like Trump's first four years from an economic perspective, I do think we're going to see some short, like a, some sort of a short term boom. With down the road consequences, right? And Trump doesn't care about that.
The down the road consequences part, cause he'll be out of office and he'll get to, you know, whoever's next, whether it's another, whether it's a date, Democrat or JD Vance or whoever the fuck comes in 2028, uh, it won't matter the short D he'll take credit for the short term boom, and he'll pass on the, the, the down the road consequences from the poor policy that he puts through on somebody else as all presidents do.
Nobody's different, you know, I honestly hope, like uh, Wicked, again says, I honestly hope with all the hate, both, Self predicated and what was conspired, I hope he does good for us, you know, we do too. Yeah. I mean like it's not holding our breath. We all live here. We hope he doesn't turn the place into a dump, like,
Fucking white people. Ew gross Uh, did you want to go off on red note here for a minute, Corey, to end the show? Because, uh, okay. So that's during, during the short term TikTok ban, Corey did, did take the leap and jumped into the, uh, the, the, the, the ultimate backfire of idiotic protectionist policy. Yeah. You know.
I might have, uh, I might have signed up for the Red Army. I'm not sure. I didn't, I couldn't read Mandarin or the Terms of Service Agreement. But, it was, uh, it was a fascinating journey. And, uh, Corey's a red now. He's a shiny red. Well, you're not that smart. I know what's going on. friggin TV again. The interaction.
Like, it was, it was actually, it was, it was really refreshing. Like, there was points where, like, it did bring a little bit of a tear to my eye. Because watching the digital Berlin wall come down, it was like the hand coming through the concrete and people like there, dude, the Chinese people's humor. The graciousness, things they enjoy.
Ooh, look at that, it says TikTok. I'm not talking about TikTok. Uh, You've done a hell of a lousy job. Everything is like, they're just, I'm listening, I'm listening. They're so much like us. And it was, it was just, like, and obviously we know people are people, right? But it's just like, like everyone's in the comments talking, or like making videos talking about like food prices and gas prices and rental prices and all these different things.
And, uh, they're damn near comparable to us. Some people in China are really well off. Some people in China are not doing so hot. Some people in China are doing okay. And. It's like their day to day livings and all the different stuff and talking to them and then all of these people though with the America like okay Let me see how my formulate this a lot of Americans a lot of Americans hopped into this happened if it was just dog shitting America because they would comment on one of 1.
4 Billion Chinese people's like lives that they posted in their little video and they're doing okay
Wow america is not like this. Wow this the america fucking sucks and da da da da da and it's like At first I was like I was trying to have it and be like, well, no it It looks like it is like it is for you guys, right? Some Americans have a good some Americans have a bad and they're like do America's really do some Americans really work two to three jobs and it's like Yes, but these ones that are typically working two to three jobs They're still working the same amount as someone who works one job with a lot of overtime It's just those jobs don't afford the overtime so they get a second job and and like explain things like this and they're like Oh, okay so it's kind of like here when someone just works long hours at one job and like they're talking about the hours and And Yeah, they all party.
They all go out and get drunk. Some of them are talking about how they use VPN chicken fingers all the time. All right. Like some of them are still like being fucking like rebels, like an American and saying, fuck the government and using VPNs and shit like that. Some of them were like, yeah, I'm on Instagram.
I have to go through a VPN and I'm thinking, dude, I don't know if you're allowed to say that on here. And so it shows that they don't have as much fear of their government as like, we let our propaganda tries to send to us. But when you go on, like, so many of them, all of these people were talking like, yeah, this kind of came out of nowhere.
We didn't really know that the Tic Tac ban was happening. And then everyone just hopped on our, on our app. And like, and we're just meeting all these Americans. So all these people, a lot of them speak English too. Cause it's taught there. And a lot of them are like, Hi, welcome tic tac refugees and that's what they're cheating.
They're crooked. They're corrupt They were calling all of us tic tac refugees and then there's some of them were like doing like they were like a guy They're like just so you know when you come here This isn't like tic tac This is a Chinese government app, so you aren't allowed to criticize the Chinese government while you're on here.
And they were talking about that. But they don't give a shit if you criticize the American government. Uh, well, sure! Dirty rants! Because it fits their propaganda. And then it's like, all these people are on there bitching about our government on an app where the two people who aren't allowed to bitch about their government saying how it seems like it's nicer there without seeing the fucking irony.
Well, and well that but I just the rules would never ever, ever be reversed, right? That's, that's great. That's, that's so true. And like, if I could jump in for, for just a second here, like, that's why I called that the, like, could you imagine if tick tick tock was still down and more and more people as an act of defiance were going under red note?
It's like, this is why protectionist policy doesn't get you what you want when you think. When you take away, when you take away something like TikTok and everybody realizes the bullshit reasons why you're doing it because the Chinese Communist Party is so, uh, is so dangerous and scary. Even though all you have to do is ask chat GPT who owns TikTok.
And it will tell you straight up 60 percent foreign nationals, 20%, uh, TikTok employees, including thousands of Americans, and then 20 percent something else. And then the, the dreaded, scary golden share of 1 percent that TikTok has, and that's supposed to be the scary thing. Well, here's another thing too, Dan, that no one talks about.
No. When you, when you look into what the Golden Share does, all it does is gives the CCTP veto power over things like acquisitions, over things like, like, uh, like stock splits, like company related issues. Ance still owns the data of TikTok. The Chinese Communist Party does not own the data. You know where they, do, you know where they keep that data?
Do you know where they keep that data? In the United States? Yes. And you know who bought a bunch of meta stack before the ban went into place? Damn near every single fucking congressman. So who owns, so when you're talking about governments owning companies, who owns more, the United States government of the American social media platforms or the Chinese government of Tik TOK?
It's the former. Yeah. So like it's, it's like the security issue. The point is that there is like, there is a lot of propaganda on there. The latest on red note. What? Yeah. On red note. But here's the thing. There's a lot of it. But it's not. It's transparent, it seems like. It's very transparent. Actually, I would say the opposite.
Okay. It's, I mean, it's no more transparent than American propaganda. Alright. Military videos of our, of our military strength and these cool ass videos of jets doing spins in the air. Fucking doing wild shit in the air and big Husky fucking, not Husky. Husky is the wrong word. Big muscular fucking soldiers doing some wild shit.
But like, you know what I mean? Like it's that shit and they hate the Japanese. Oh boy. They really fucking hate the Japanese. They call it the great humiliation. They, they have not forgot world war II. They did not. Not that I'm sure of that. Um, what else I got here? Oh, and then like there was, and then other little propaganda things like talking about the American obesity rate.
And, but Americans in American fashion is the funniest fucking thing, dude. There's these tic tacs about talking about American obesity rate, and then just a flood of American comments going, dare you mean to tell me these guys have been talking shit about us the whole time calling us big back and we're not even here, like, and then everyone, all of them, I'm sorry, we're not talking about you, they're all like, trying to be like, super nice because Jap.
The, uh, the, the Chinese are taught that like, you know, you're an ambassador for the country. Yeah. And so, yeah. And then, um, a lot of Americans posting videos of guns. So like, that's a thing now and now they know a lot of Americans own guns. And then, so there was one video, this guy was posting all of his guns and then someone commented and I think they were Chinese and it just says, do you sell them?
And I responded, Damn, the fucking FBI is already on Redbook.
And I had like hundreds of these fucking Chinese people laughing because they got the fucking joke. That's great. And anytime an American would comment on things, the Chinese people, they had a thing, they called it the cat tax. They just wanted to see everyone's pets and cats. And so like anytime an American would post something never like a video of them dancing It would be a Chinese person going that's cool and all let me see your cat Like like they're just talking shit.
Like just like we do dude. It was fucking wild to see And then people talking about like what I was talking about. Instead of, instead, if you don't show them a cat, instead you show them a dog, they start salivating. They have like a, like a fork and knife. No, a lot of them are making jokes being like, guys chill, not all of us eat cats and dogs.
Like, they were just being funny. And then sharing videos of like from, uh, Rush Hour. When, uh, Chris Tucker's in, uh, in China. Hong Kong. He's, yeah. Or Hong Kong. Yeah. And he is like trying to talk to them. And then it's, which is China now? People trying to speak Chinese and they're yelling at each other. These Chinese people are posting the fuck outta this going American, showing up to red note like
Like, it was just, it was really funny shit, dude. Like, I'm still going on there because it's, it's fucking hilarious. I just a little like, and that's Corey, you, you brought up, you brought up a huge point that like, I think we bring up on this show a lot, which is that like we. And I think you guys would both agree with me when I say this, like, we love the West as far as a society, and I personally don't want to live in any other society than what the West offers.
However, Not even the West, uniquely America. We wouldn't be able to do what we do on our show here. I'm just, I'm just saying, I'm just saying the West is, just to generalize it a little more, But like, because it all kind of ties together, but it's this idea of American hegemony where it's like the Western way of life.
And if you want to even say in particular, the American way of life is the only way that everybody should live across the globe. It's why we have to go take the oil from the middle East. It's why we have to, you know, it's why we have to do nation building in Iraq and all the other bullshit. And it's like, Just trying to get Americans to understand that like we can live our way.
It's all good. We all love it. We wouldn't want to change anything. Nobody wants to leave. You know, you're wearing a fucking American flag shirt right now as we sit here because we're the, we're the people that sit here and go, we love our country. We hate our government. And I think that's okay. And that is so uniquely American.
And we're allowed to do that because it's what is, it's what allows us to hold our government accountable. The Chinese people don't fucking have to live that way. And it doesn't mean we can't trade with them because what does trade do? What does trade do? Trade begets peace. Every single fucking time. And that's why Donald Trump and Tariff are not a good idea.
Go ahead. And this Red Note interaction, and it's funny because neither government's fucking talking about it. They don't fucking like that shit. Uh, You have millions of Chinese and Americans for the first time ever. Engaging on a personal level, not through an ambassador, not through a filtered narrative through a mainstream media, not through anything else.
You had Americans and Chinese people using translators to communicate and just bullshit. And the humor is absolutely like astounding. I learned how to say, I don't give a shit in Mandarin. And if you wanna learn that, it's QuanWoPiXi. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Yeah, for real, like, when I saw all the Ameri and it's funny because then it made me check my propaganda indoctrination, because when I was on there and I see all these other Americans who don't even realize the privilege that they have to talk shit about their government, when the Chinese are literally telling them not to talk shit about their government and we're not allowed to do that, and Americans are in there doing that bitching because, like, Not everything here is great for some people, which is justifiably something that we do need to work on.
Sure. Uh, but they also bitch about it here, and it makes our government realize that they need to do better, which is great. Life isn't about getting drunk and eating chicken fingers all the time, alright? That's what makes America great. See this fucking flag? These colors don't run. This shirt is, however, Unless you throw it in the wash with some Yeah, however, yeah.
This shirt, this shirt is dry clean only because if I throw it in the washer these colors in fact do run. So they absolutely run.
That one's so fucking gross, we gotta mix that one. No, I love this one, let me play it one more time. Ah, gross. Ah, dude, come on. But uh, I just love the epic, I love the epic pause from the initial squirt. And you're just like waiting for the rest of the load to drop. But yeah, at first I was like, dude, then realized we are a privilege.
We are privileged in the fact that we can go on a communist app. Americans had the ability to go on a communist app when they're not even allowed to leave their apps and come to American apps. and talk shit about our country and they aren't, and, uh, them over there aren't allowed to go on our apps or do that on their own apps for that matter.
Another video, another one I thought was fucking hilarious was, uh, americans are just, fucking, like, like, did you see any of the, like, Side note, did you see any of the TikToks of people from other countries talking about TikTok when When America was gone, and they're all talking about how like they missed us and how it was kind of boring And uh, but there was this video this this it looks like either like a crossing you've done a hell of a lousy job And he was letting uh kids out of cars that pulled up for school And there's cops walking up to every car and opening the door and helping the kids out and making sure traffic is like clear and stuff, and then an American comments he goes, jeez, cops never helped me out of a, out of a cop car in America.
They only put me in them.
Like, yeah, Americans were literally, literally just fucking, but dude, and the Chinese were just straight right in with it and having a blast doing the same shit. Oh, it's almost like humans are not that different. Isn't it bizarre? Yeah. No, it was, it was a really good reminder. It was a, uh, it was a nice shot of, uh, like empathy and culture and just, uh, and gave me more faith in humanity.
And how people are just allowed to have different cultures. It's kind of, it's just okay. You know, the West, the West doesn't have to own the world. Yeah, but again, they do not like the Japanese. Like, I'm glad I'm not Japanese when I was in there because like Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. I thought bigotry was uniquely American, Corey.
I thought only Americans were bigots. No, only Americans think, only Americans believe in that type of American exceptionalism, buddy. Yeah, the American exceptionalism of the fact that Americans are the only ones the only ones that are racist. And, and, well, at the same time, that's what makes America beautiful, is we actually have to deal with it.
Like, actually have to have those conversations and deal with it, because we are a melting pot, and have to live day to day with different cultures. I don't think there's very many Japanese living in China. Oh, shit, buddy. I gotta dig a little deeper. There's no Pepe's. Give me a time of day! I got boxes full of Pepe!
Uh, giving shit to Anthony Blinken at his last. Yes. Yes. I can play the videos real quick. I can play the videos real quick. We can, we can, we can end with this because I mean, I'm not as familiar with Sam, I've, I've seen him a little bit, but I mean, we're, we are huge fans of Max Blumenthal. Uh, on this show.
Uh, uh, where is it? Yeah, here we go. Max Blumenthal. I'll play, I'll play Max here real quick. Just, just, I love the way that he, uh, gave a, a wonderful little send off to, uh, our, our warmonger pal. Uh, Antony Blinken, 300 reporters in Gaza were on the receiving end of your bombs. Why did you keep the bombs flowing when we had a deal in May?
We all knew we had a deal. Everyone in this room knows we had a deal, Tony, and you kept the bombs flowing. Why did you sacrifice the rules based order on the mantle of your commitment to Zionism? Why did you allow my friends to be massacred? Why did you allow my friends in Gaza to be destroyed when we had a deal in May?
I'm sorry. You just, you helped destroy our religion, Judaism, by associating it with fascism. You waved the white flag before Netanyahu. You waved the white flag before Israeli fascism. Your father in law was an Israel lobbyist. Your grandfather was an Israel lobbyist. Are you compromised by Israel? Why did you allow the holocaust of our time to happen?
How does it feel to have your legacy be genocide? How does it feel to have your legacy be genocide? You too, Matt. You smirked through the whole thing every day. You smirked through a genocide. Sure. And that, and so I guess to the point of like only the Chinese and the Russians and whoever the enemy is of the time, um, censoring journalists, you know, notice how Max was booted from there because he spoke the truth.
Well, he didn't cause a scene, but it's a reality. Well, how else was he supposed to get his point across? No, I'm not. I'm not. Well, no, no, no. I am not. I understand what you're saying, but like, if you're, if you're, if you're Anthony Blinken, you know what you do in that situation? If you don't want to look like the fucking, uh, authoritarian that you are if you're Anthony Blinken, you tell those people, nope, let him go.
Let him go and let him speak. That's what you do, and then you answer his fucking question. That's what you do. But Anthony Blinken is a fucking pussy. You pull up Bernie Sanders and let him take the mic. Piece of shit, genocide loving, warmongering piece of shit that he is. And congratulations to Marco Rubio, who is, is gonna be the same fucking thing.
So, that's another bad, I guess, from uh, From, from Trump. You want me to play Sam Husseini real quick or do you have something to say about Blinken before I do that? No, I, I'm, I'm 100 percent to what he said. Cause Max is one of the best out there. So this was, this was, this was Sam Husseini. This one's been making the rounds.
A lot of people have seen this one. So Max, Max now is a part of Ryan Grimm's thing, right? Uh, they, they, they interview each other a lot. Max Blumenthal I think is still Grayzone, right? I think Max is part of Grayzone. Yeah, Aaron Maté used to be a part of the Intercept, right? It was a, it all, it all, it all runs together.
They're all, they're all homies and they're all doing good work. Uh, but yeah, this is, this, this was Sam Husseini. I got this angle cause this was kind of, this video was kind of taken from behind him, but watch how they, the, the, the, uh, whoever it is, the security guards or whoever, they're already getting ready to grab him before he even starts speaking here.
I think he had already raised a little bit of a scene before this, and that's why they were there just to put a little context on it, but. Here we go. They're already, wait. Look it. He's not even speaking yet. They're trying to kick him out unjustly and bringing them home, returning them to their families.
Finally, get your hands off me. Get your hands off me. Get your hands off me. Get your hands off me. Now he's making a little bit of scene
nuclear weapons. Everybody from the ICJ. I'm sitting here quietly, and now I'm being manhandled by two or three people. You pontificate about a free press, you pontificate about a free press, you, you are hurting me, you are hurting me, you are hurting me. He really didn't say shit. I think he had before that, and they were kind of preparing, but still.
Respect the process wasn't the point of the, uh, the, um, May 31st statement to block the i CJ orders. You block the I CJ orders. This really is unnecessary. Respect the process. Respect the process. Respect the process while everybody. Everybody from the, from International to the ICJ is saying that it's both genocide and extermination, and you're telling me to respect the process.
Criminal! Why aren't you in the hay? Why aren't you in the hay? She's just being cradled out like a baby. I gotta, I'm telling you, I love it. Finally. We've got to modernize our diplomacy so that we're more agile. Finally, it just goes back to, this is just it, man. Like it's just completely, completely fucking unnecessary.
Whether you, I mean, I mean, we can argue about what, what genocide is. I don't like talking about that because of you start arguing semantics of like, well, what do you consider genocide? The fact of the matter is what Israel is doing to Gaza is unjustified. And we know this. Completely unjustified. We know this genocide or not war crimes for sure.
And Anthony Blinken doesn't have to answer any of these questions because he has his goons taking out the only fucking reporters that have any of the other in there and none of them did. Because they're all, they don't want to lose access. They don't want to lose every, every single one of them is a shill for the government to your point, Corey.
And one of those reasons is because they, they don't want to lose access to their, to their people, to the access to that room. And what do these shills say about people like Sam Husseini and, uh, and Max Blumenthal, they go on shows that are on, you know. CNN, Fox News and, and MSNBC and call them quote unquote, fringe journalists.
And if you think I'm kidding, look it up. These guys are people that have been in journalism for decades reporting on this stuff. They just use, they use these, these buzzwords like fringe to take away their credibility. Yeah, well they're not one of us. They're not one of us. They're out there. What? Uh, fuck Anthony Blinken.
Fuck him to the moon, bro. Fuck him. What did, uh, did I say Fuck him? Fuck him. You said that you said you wanted to fuck him. Yes. Um, Ukraine will become a member. Uh, of nato. Fuck you Blinken. Fuck you. Um. Who was it? It was Matt Taibbi when he was in that hearing, when it came to the Twitter files. And they all kept calling him a so called journalist.
Yeah, right. He's been a journalist for like 20 fucking years, writing for the Rolling Stone. And a very good one. Yeah, yeah, what was it? Was he the, uh, the election? What, what do they call it? It was the same position that Hunter S. Thompson had for the Rolling Stone, like the election reporter or whatever. I can't remember the title.
Yeah, the election correspondent or something like that. Yeah, he had the same title as Hunter S. Thompson. Somebody, something that everybody agrees is the, it's like one of the, one of the best, uh, journalists of all time, but he's a, he's a so called journalist. Fuck you. Fuck all of you to the moon, to the moon, Alice and back.
Uh, you have anything else, Corey, anything, you have any closing remarks? You have any Jerry Springer closing notes? I don't great documentary on Netflix, by the way, about the Springer show. I've been meaning to watch that one. Actually lions lost that fucking sucks. Uh, backward down the field. Yeah. I was really hoping that we could come in here and play, uh, that song.
I bet you were, you know, I love to play my songs for my, for my bands or not for my bands or for my teams, whatever, they do a good job and you know what? I really forgot. You know what? I also forgot to play. The fuck in this one when I was talking about America. Late now, it's too late now.
