Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:10Welcome to iHip News Live, iHipsters. I wish we were here with some good news, but unfortunately, I'm here to report on our dipshit, dementia-ridden president in Davos saying stuff like this to an international crowd. Kylie, play the first clip. I'm helping Europe. I'm helping NATO. And until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me. They called me daddy, right, last time. Very smart man said, he's our daddy. He's running it. I was like running it. I went from running it to being a terrible human being. Okay, first and foremost, he's confusing Iceland with Greenland. Secondly, nobody was calling him daddy.
0:57I think Mark Ruda was the head of NATO, which was so embarrassing for the Netherlands, the way the appeasement is going on. At least the Canadian PM is showing a spine against the United States right now, because I want anybody in our international audience to understand I do not support this government. I do not support this president. The errors that he makes willfully every single day that seem to be more aligned with the needs and wants of Vladimir Putin, taking 250 years of alliances, seems to be utterly confused about our access to Greenland, not Iceland, that even if people want to call him daddy, you can have as many troops there as you want.
1:44There are ally. There are agreements already in place. And so this Davos disaster is just I can't speak as to what goes on with the people that vote for Trump, other than there's a cancer in the United States of arrogance, dipshittery and recreational cruelty that these people like to traffic in. But a lot of these Republicans in the House and Senate, they care about money and they care about the economy. And all of these, Europe can completely tank our economy. And Denmark's already proven that they can. Here's the thing with Trump. First of all, the only person I've heard call him daddy other than the Netherlands president was Jesse Waters.
2:29And he does it all the time. So you can tell he's watching Jesse Waters. that is getting on there and saying they called me daddy everybody liked me he's at a european economic world economic forum and he's talking about who likes him who doesn't like him they used to call him daddy now they don't like him it's nonsensical it is i would assume extremely awkward to be in that room i would think everybody that watches that feels alarmed i'm alarmed i see it all the time, but I'm like, why do they keep putting him out there? Why does nobody intervene? Those are the questions that I know why we know why we've gone over this.
3:13And it's important that everybody understand this is a super duper important. I encourage all of you to watch my episode last Saturday with expert, uh, professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat. The reason he keeps going out there again is because he's surrounded by 100 % loyalists. There are no guardrails, zero. And this is by design. He learned in Trump 1.0, I want generals like Hitler's generals. The American public heard these things that were said 60 minutes before it was taken over by MAGA acolytes reported on this, and they still voted for him. None of this is a surprise. everybody warned if he gets in again he will be surrounded by sycophants and loyalists no one no one surrounding him by design will say your dementia is completely out of control you cannot get on that stage nobody around him is going to say hey it's not iceland it's greenland not one person surrounding him is going to say hey you might not want to refer to yourself as daddy especially with you playing the Phantom of the Opera, blaring it, and all your decorating allegations, and this alleged blowjob with Bubba, you're not going to be beating the gay allegations with the continued use of the word Bubba.
4:34I mean, daddy, nobody is going to do that. This is the way autocrats, dictators work. No one, no one is going to tell him what you're doing is wrong. He is surrounded by people that are completely obsequious to every stupid whim he has. And here's another prime example. Here he is, the president of the United States, the senior citizen, and he is still confusing Iceland for Greenland. And I want you to remember that Joe Biden, Fox News, it was wall-to-wall coverage. And some of it was warranted. Joe Biden was old, But it wasn't anything like this. They'd be there for us. They're not there for us on Iceland.
5:20That I can tell you. I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland's already cost us a lot of money. But that dip is peanuts compared to what it's gone up. And we. So in my opinion, the there's not only the people around him that enabled this, the American public enabled this by voting for him. This is not new. I am not surprised by this. I am not surprised that nobody around him will say, stop it. This is insane. I'm not surprised that the Republicans won't stop him. All of the American industry titans have bent the knee to him. All the law firms have bent the knees.
5:59All of the universities have bent the knees. The people who have fought it, that had courage, went to court and they won. But he's going to continue like this until he's dead. I mean, he just he's not going to stop and nobody is going to stop him. And that's what's so depressing about being an American right now. Somebody put up the nuclear codes, folks. I think I kind of put that out of my mind. And then when I think about it, I'm like, that could happen on a whim. Just I'm just going to nuke Greenland or something so stupid. And but he lacks impulse control. He lacks self-control and people around him.
6:37Like you expertly, you know, Ruth Bingeot pointed out and we talk about it. Nobody is going to say anything. And here's the thing. We have three branches of government. The executive branch is so broken beyond repair right now. Congress could do something, but they won't. The Supreme Court is not going to. It's stunning that we have fallen this far as a nation in such a short period of time. And everybody is just acting like it's normal. I disagree. I think a lot of people are observing that this is abnormal. I think a lot of the electorate is this. I think what your point is that the governing class, like I was so shocked when I saw Cory Booker talk about training ICE instead of just like we will be a full stop resistance.
7:37And they just there's a refusal to do that. Now, there are some Democrats who are rising up that are very clear and concise about what this is. Chris Murphy's won, Elizabeth Warren and others. but there seems to be this acquiescence, national acquiescence to when he won that kind of broke everybody. And it's like, I guess they're going to allow him to break everything. But if the stock market keeps dipping, I know these country club Republican types, and that's when they will go, oh, guess what I have today? It's critical thinking. They willfully turn it off, willfully turn it on. They willfully turn off racism.
8:17They willfully turn it back on. And when their money, when their retirement accounts start dipping, then they'll be like, we need to do something about this man. He's out of control. He's been acting crazy. You know what? I think he has dementia. Then all of a sudden, and that's what will be the death of him. And if he continues, I think the European union has pulled out of a trade deal with the United States The stock market will continue to take hits. These investors will start dumping treasury, dumping bonds. Our currency is not going to be stable or safe anymore. A safe place to park your money for foreign entities.
8:53And China is standing there going, hey, no drama here. We're open and ready to do business. And, you know, of course, it wouldn't be a stop for this bigoted Nazi American president if he didn't just throw out some good old-fashioned American racism in Davos? Play the clip. Somalian bandits. Can you believe that Somalia, they turned out to be higher IQ than we thought? I always say these are low IQ people. How do they go into Minnesota and steal all that money? And we have, you know, they're pirates. They're good pirates, right? But we shoot them out of the water just like we shoot the drug boats out.
9:34Okay. That is just full blown racism. His whole fixation on Somalia and Stephen Miller's fixation on it is because is why they're in Minnesota. Right. And this is just this low IQ, high IQ is all a part of his insanity. But I don't think the American public is braced for what he has just broken. I don't think that they are fully grasping the fundamentals of the economy and 250 years of democracy and post-World War II alliances that he has just picked up and wadded. And all of the people that are around him normally giggle when he says shit like that. And you notice it was crickets in there. But when he is in the White House, when he is in the press room, when he is in the Oval, you hear Howard Nutlick and all of these sycophants chuckling that enable him all of the time.
10:30But here's I think he's so far gone. You guys, I think his brain little pudding boy is I think it's so mush that he won't even he will think I went to Davos and crushed it. I completely crushed it. He's going to leave thinking that. Well, and everybody on his staff is going to say, oh, my gosh, you were so good. They were riveted. You were so strong. They knew what a tough guy you were. You'll teach them the art of the deal. All this stupid shit I see online about people, you know, well, you know, I've even heard his cabinet secretary say, you know, Trump, nobody knows the art of the deal like him.
11:07I'm like, he fucking bankrupted casinos. Spare me the art of the deal. Daddy left him money. He bankrupted it six times. everything he touches turns to shit and you're sitting there with a big smile on your face like the art of the deal like this is we have a you know a television president he came because the apprentice said oh he's this great businessman and people believed it despite all the evidence very accessible evidence to the absolute contrary well they also believed it because one thing he did initially and this is a really important strategy that he did and i wish the democrats currently would take note.
11:45He came in and he blew up the status quo. He came in after eight years of Obama, where some good things happened, but he governed incrementally and he was really beholden to corporations. And I love Obama, very nostalgic about Obama, but that's the reality of that presidency. Trump came in and he was like, called all establishment Republicans, pieces of shit, liars. He was the opposite of the establishment candidate. He was a, I'm the anti-status quo candidate. And that more than anything really permeated. And when you think about when Kamala Harris was trotting around with Liz Cheney, they looked like they were the establishment candidates, Republican, old guard and Democratic, you know, together trying to keep the world order or the American order.
12:40And behind that is this middle class that has been so forgotten, so demeaned, so demoralized. If you join a union, you're lazy. These unions are evil and nobody's really fought for them. And so that's that's the danger of not taking care of people and only taking care of corporations, fascism blooms. And here we are. Here he is. You guys, he's so stupid. It's just on top of everything. He talks about IQs all the time because he has a low one. So in Switzerland, the majority of the people there speak German and there's like Swiss German and then German. And so he tells the people in Switzerland the following.
13:26And then after the war, which we won, we won it big. Without us, right now, you'd all be speaking German and a little Japanese, perhaps. Okay. Him talking about, number one, is that just not so tone deaf and stupid, but him talking about the post-World War II alliances and taking credit for that when he is specifically tearing up what was built after that. He is using our work, our taxpayer money, our alliances to personally enrich himself and to prevent Vladimir Putin from releasing the compromise that he has on him. And there are 340 souls that are collateral damage in this man's personal campaign.
14:17The New York Times reported he's enriched himself$1.4 billion in 12 months. $1.4 billion. dollars. And that's just what's reported. I'm sure there's a ton more that we, that we don't even see. And so, you know, this, this president, we, these people have voted for him, uh, not us, not you all, but they have voted for him and they're going to find out, everybody's going to find out just how stupid, how stupid, what a reckless, I'm drunk on testosterone bullshit decision this was because the world is going to move on without us and they wanted to be isolated. Well, that's what's going to happen.
14:58And they're going to find out, oh, shit, we don't have any money being isolated from the world. And China is already filling the vacuum. Yeah, I think I read over the weekend that China's GDP is up 5%. Yes, and ours is down. Yeah. I mean, he's handing it to him on a silver platter. And what we're seeing in right-wing circles, what they're talking about is who's masculine, who's not, that he's daddy. It's like, at what point are they going to sound the alarm? They're not going to. Here's what I was thinking now. What's going to happen? I mean, and obviously I'm not an economic expert, but I foresee very, very difficult financial times coming.
15:44And all of these people that voted for Trump are going to it's going to be the rewrite of history that I've ever seen. Like, well, you know, we didn't vote for him. I mean, I think people are actually going to start lying about voting for him. I think they're going to say, well, I didn't, I didn't vote or I just didn't know. And it's like, all this stuff is out there. Like none of this is a surprise, you know, deportation now. And then he, everybody hates the immigration policy. Wasn't a secret. it. He told everybody he was going to do that. The Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden right before the election, like everybody was on notice.
16:29And so I've just like, when is the rewriting of history going to start with people that I know in my life that now decide he's crazy and they just didn't know? So, you know, they went, there's a guy who went back to Germany. I can't remember what the study is, but I've read into this. It's really interesting. Like 10 years after World War II and went around and asked people, did you support Hitler? Did you support the Nazis? And couldn't find one person that said yes. And of course, statistically, a bunch of them did. A bunch of people supported the Nazis. Just like here, a bunch of people support MAGA.
17:06A bunch of people are MAGA. But back to the point about the tariffs and China, back to the point about China outperforming the United States. This is how idiotic this man is. And we can talk about personality all the time, but it's also important to talk about policy because a lot of the people pumps that you're projecting are going to never act like they never really cared about him or admit that they supported him. They will say stuff like this to provide a permission structure. They will say, I didn't like his personality, but I liked his policy. So it's important that we talk about the policy.
17:38And the policy is the tariffs were to punish China. That's how idiotic this man is. That's how idiotic the people surrounding him are, that the tariffs ended up benefiting China because he fundamentally misunderstood what economists, even conservative ones, conservative economists that write for the Wall Street Journal, like I'm talking hardcore, neocon economic conservative said, tariffs are a tax on the American public and the whole thing backfired. And so it's important that we give our audience the facts about this stuff. The tariffs were to punish China and put the United States ahead economically.
18:21And they did the exact opposite. Our GDP is down, theirs is up. And China is just like, look, we're fine without you guys. Like we're so big and we were so much less drama to deal with. The Canadians are already making deals there. Europe is going to completely move off the United States and they're going to be making deals with China. And the one thing that all of these people tried to prevent is the one thing they facilitated and enabled. And it's super important that we also talk about the policy personality wise. This guy's a nut. He's always going to be a nut. There's going to be nuts that support nuts.
18:53And that's always going to be unchanged. And throughout the, you know, throughout all of history and all these MAGA people, all these MAGA thumpers once, I mean, and it can be six months from now that this guy has a massive stroke and he's out. And then, you know, everybody gets off the Trump drunk train that they're on. Nobody's going to admit it. Well, I just, both choices were terrible. They're going to do all this false equivalency bullshit. Okay. Moving along. This is something that I think is super important that Americans need to understand. So what people think of us out in the world is that we're arrogant and we think we're better than everybody.
19:36And they have this caricature of Americans. Now, when we have a president like Barack Obama, you see American favorability kind of go up because we're represented on the world stage. But under that and on the edges of a competent, attractive, well-spoken, smart president like Obama, the personality and the caricature of Americans being loud, obnoxious, not self-aware, arrogant, ethnocentric, all of those things are there. Well, with Trump, he has manifested all of our worst attributes as a culture and as a nation into one person. And this right here, for all of the international people that hear him say this, They thought this about Americans for a long time.
20:24And now the leadership is the caricature of exactly the way Europeans or Asians would describe all of our worst character defects as a culture. Play the clip. And like you wouldn't believe. And I know so many people from Switzerland, incredible place, incredible, brilliant place. But I didn't realize that they're only good because of us. And there's so many other examples. I mean, us and probably other places, but a majority of the money they make is because of us. They're only good because of us. This type of American arrogance is why people hate us. And we had mitigating factors that we could mitigate it.
21:07That's over. Like, we're right there with, you know, people that cannot stand Russia or Russians. We're the worst. We are the most hated culture and people in the world because of shit like that. Think that, oh, you're only good because of us. That American arrogance is so appalling. And so many of his followers, like this is their whole identity. Like their whole identity is being, you know, religious and all this Christian nationalism and all this souped up patriotism with all these flags and shit. And it's all bullshit because they vote for this guy who is like a pedophile protector, which with your Christianity, that's weird shit.
21:51Right. And then all this patriotism. And here he is like bending over to our adversary, Vladimir Putin. But they just go along with it because another caricature that people think about Americans is we're stupid. So all of this tracks. I might say low IQ. When I watch this and I think about what you're saying, applying it, you know, he's saying, we're so great. We're so smart. We make so much money. All of our scientists are leaving to go to Europe because he's kept funding. Like what the USAID people, what they were doing, he's cut all that. Anything that gave America, you know, pride, like international pride he's cut that he said no we don't want i mean i would guess that all these people in europe are like they're not exiting their kids anymore over there that's how stupid they are i mean you could just go down the list honestly they've been saying for quite some time our gun policy the gun policy yeah and there's just there's there's a level of poverty that we've tolerated even under obama's um administration biden administration there is a lack of empathy towards the sick that's always been incredibly off-putting.
23:06Our lack of collectivism, even in not, you know, like a total socialistic sense, governmental-wise, but in a human being sense to embrace collectivism has always been incredibly off-putting to Europeans because we're just these, you know, rabid, greedy individuals. and long before the issues that we have now, our American policy, foreign policy has been incredibly arrogant and a lot of times not helpful. We drug all of our allies into the Iraq war that was based on a lie after Colin Powell went to the United Nations and sold the whole yellow cake scandal and lied. And they all went and fought with the United States.
23:52And then you've got Trump in here. They don't pay the free share, NATO, blah, blah, blah. Well, the whole fucking war was based on a lie. Hundreds of millions of billions, trillions of dollars for that shit show. And then the way we treat the sick and the level of poverty in the United States is so jarring for Europeans because they don't have that level of poverty. We get away. We let corporations get away with slave labor and the current minimum wage in the United States right now is slave labor. And when I go to Europe, people, I'll say, oh, do I need to leave a tip? And they very quickly look and say, no, we pay our people a livable wage.
24:31They pride in that. There is pride. These are local taverns, local brasseries, local trattorias. But everybody has to pay their employees a livable wage. But in the United States, we have a whole group of Americans that scoff at that. How dare you tell me to pay somebody a livable wage? You're affecting my ability to do business. So this American arrogance and this American entitlement and the me, me, me shit is such a character trait that I see culturally in us as a collective and in a lot of individuals. And it's really come to a boiling point right now with this guy. and the whole thing is getting torn down and a lot of people are going to die and uh it's it's really devastating watching this happen and i have evolved so much politically since 2024 in this short period of time um that i just i really see what the problem is and i I think that corporate Dems are every bit as bad as these Republicans.
25:44Now, would Kamala President be this bad? Fuck no, it wouldn't. It'd be a gajillion times better. I'm not saying that. But I am saying that if we don't address the core issues that leave us vulnerable to this type of fascist takeover, we're not going to have a stable country. And I think that's really what we all want. Like in a relationship, you want emotional and physical safety with your relationship with your government. You want like emotional and physical safety. And right now we don't have that. Like the government shooting people, dragging people out of cars. We've got these people dressing up like Nazis asking for paperwork.
26:20You know, it's just, it's so gross. Okay. Moving along. This stuff is so upsetting. Here we have, oh my gosh, here he is talking about the wars, the imaginary wars that he claims he solved. Play the clip. And I've now been working on this war for one year, during which time I settled eight other wars, India, Pakistan. I've been, I settled other wars that were Vladimir Putin called me, Armenian, Abir, Bajan. He said, I can't believe you settled that one. They were going on for 35 years. You guys, that's like what psychiatrists call flight of ideas, where he's like, you know, he's like Pakistan, Vladimir Putin, right.
27:07Aber by John, like his brain is so fucking cooked. He is so cooked. It is so 25th amendment, but nobody will do it. The best thing that could happen to the world right now would be for the Europeans to dump bonds and treasury and tank the stock market, because that's the only thing that these Republicans would say, get him out, get him out right now. Now, it is the only thing, because if we keep going at this rate where he fucks up and they incrementally reign it back and he fucks up some more and they incrementally reign it back, we're going to have all four years of this. And the America on the other side of that is going to be just like Russia is right now.
27:44A failed state. Completely failed. Yeah. What? The Vladimir Putin said that. I was like, what? That threw me for a loop. Like, what are we talking about? It's just dementia. it's and you know how you know how i said that he will start speaking the truth like you know like your grandma's in in the nursing home and she's like you know i never really liked your mom very much she wasn't my favorite child so here he is talking about all this and he's talking about who is who is nighttime you know call buddy is vladimir putin that's why he's talking about foreign policy and then associating vladimir putin because his foreign policy right now at Davos and his foreign policy regarding Greenland is the wish of Vladimir Putin.
28:28Greenland is our ally. We don't have to hostily take it over. We can have as many military bases as we want there. And we have agreements with them to get the rare earth minerals. Like this is a nothing burger. The only people that this benefits is Russia, whose number one goal is to dismantle NATO because Vladimir Putin is fucked with NATO. If he advances into Poland, you attack one of us, you attack all of us. All of these post-World War II alliances that this guy is going on and on about is NATO. So if he attacks, if Vladimir Putin goes in and attacks Poland, he has all of NATO after him. And so he wants to dismantle NATO because it's an obstacle for him.
29:14And that's why he has groomed and made Trump this very valuable asset. And it's not just Trump. There are other Republicans in the Republican Party that are also beholden to Vladimir Putin. This was probably, I don't know, seven or eight years ago when Paul Ryan was the Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy and somebody else. They were all on tape, hot mic moment, where they said, OK, for sure, Vladimir Putin pays Trump. And then they list some other congressmen that they think are bought and paid for by Russia. It's widely rumored. And I don't have confirmation of this, that Tulsi Gabbard is also.
29:52And then so this and everybody there knows it. But hopefully the Europeans get serious. But I think there's this collective denial that's going on like, oh, they're going to snap out of it. But like, I think that there's this, the democratic establishment here thinks, oh, he's not going to take it that far. I'm going to write a strongly word letter, says Chuckles. I mean, it's a piss boy, right? And I think the same with some of these European leaders. They're like, oh, they're not going to, they're not really going to dick us over. And it's like, oh, yeah. Like these tech oligarchs and J.D. Vance, who has nothing but disdain for democracies, for Western democracies.
Read the full transcript
30:35Elon Musk has nothing but disdain for Western democracies because Western democracies represent accountability and prove that they're lying about what they say the problems are about democracies. And so they want to dismantle the European Union, which makes them perfect bedfellows with Vladimir Putin. Well, at this point, I don't think Trump's hiding it. I would think when he rolled out the red carpet for Vladimir Putin and, you know, clapped and was so happy that he came, I would think that would have the foreign policy Republicans that I was raised by. I would have thought that would have been a kick in the ass.
31:21Like, what is happening? But then I go back to the election around the time of election. People were like, I'd rather have Vladimir Putin be my president than Joe Biden. Like it has been a calculated over time. We are going to infiltrate. And now they have this guy who is, you know, Russia economy flat, isolated all the things. And Trump is catering to them. They're in a stronger position today than they were a year ago, in my opinion, which I again, I'm not a foreign politician. Vladimir Putin is. Yeah, I think that it's a really felt state that their military is really depleted. They're in a much better state potentially with the United States.
32:07I mean, if we wanted to, if we were really good allies with the Ukraine, that could be ended right now. And that is the commitment we made. I mean, one thing that that Democrats have done a really poor job messaging is we have agreements and alliances that we make with people that as a country, regardless of who's president, we're going to fulfill. And one of the things is that Ukraine had nukes and they agreed to disarm the nukes in the fall of Berlin because we agreed that we would take care of them. So they made an agreement with the United States to get rid of their nuclear weapons. And that our word has to mean something when it has when it comes to items like this, major issues like this with nukes.
32:55And nobody even really talks about that, that that commitment is what we had, that we would we would take care of Ukraine and protect Ukraine. And so that's why they don't have nukes. All right. And then moving along, no Trump speech would be complete if he didn't roll out the fact that Joe Biden beating by over seven million votes in the year 2020. And so here he is in Davos, Switzerland, speaking to very rich ass people that I'm shocked. The best thing that all of those people could have done is stood up, turned around and walked out on him because they have fuck you money and they have the ability to do that and they should have done it.
33:43But instead, they had to sit there and suffer through this shit. Play the clip. It's a war that should have never started, and it wouldn't have started if the 2020 U.S. presidential election weren't rigged. It was a rigged election. Everybody now knows that. They found out. People will soon be prosecuted for what they did. It's probably breaking news, but it should be. It was a rigged election. Can't have rigged elections.
34:13that tells me he's getting ready to rig the election of 2026 that's what he's going for so now that's why it's on his mind like you said he's starting to vomit stuff up he's thinking how can i rig the election of 2026 we you know reported this morning on elon musk doge boys like all stops are going to be pulled so that he so that republicans win the midterms because Because even as dumb as he is and low IQ, he knows that they will impeach his ass. I mean, he said it as much. Everybody around him knows that. So the fact that he is sitting there, it's just, I'm not going to say it's unbelievable because it's so believable, but it's just, it's embarrassing.
34:58It is humiliating for him, everybody in his government, every American. Like it's embarrassing. And the thing is, is this needs to call for a collective autopsy of this. He won in 2016. OK. And why did he win? Because he was the anti-status quo candidate because incremental corporate politics, whether it's by a Republican or a Democrat, fucked over working class Americans. That's why he won. He wins. He screws everything up, completely screws up the whole COVID handling of all of that. And, you know, it was a disaster. Tank the economy like all Republicans do. And then the insurrection, right?
35:45Then we get a corporate dim back in and he does, you know, he re the economy recovers with Joe Biden. But then he still has this kind of like I alone can fix it thing. He doesn't say two years into his presidency, this is serious. This guy's going to run again. And my Merrick Garland hasn't done shit on this. So I'm getting out so y 'all can have a good primary. And we have politicians that screw us over. So this calls for a collective autopsy beyond Trump. What did the Democratic Party do to facilitate this and enable this? What are the Democrats still doing to facilitate this? We know what the Republicans do.
36:27They wake up every morning, get their Bible, get their American flag pen, go to the American public and lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. Go to bed, rinse and repeat. We know that. The Democrats go lie a little bit of truth. Hey, if you're gay, you can get married. But a lot of the breakage that led to this two times, we have to be honest and have a real awakening about because I don't I don't like living like this. people want to live in stable countries like he keep talking he confused Greenland for Iceland but if you look at Iceland they have a super high happy factor um they uh their human rights and freedoms are far more than the United States of America is this bullshit lie that Republicans are young for freedom no they're fucking not nothing about them is for freedom all right we're going to open it up to some questions from you all Seth is going to on this live today Um, okay.
37:27Why isn't anyone handling him while we're watching him? What are we missing time to check in with humans around us and connect despite differences? I agree. Um, I don't think anybody's going to handle him because he's not going to put anybody around him that would offer like, Hey, you're out of your mind. Everybody knows you flunked your dementia test because he would publicly fire them you know um and so uh that's why okay did y 'all cover how he was late for davos yesterday because an electrical issue on this plane because that just reads as pure cowardice okay so i saw this you guys i saw this on line that air force one took off and then it went dark in the cabin and they had to turn around and come back and get a different plane and got a hamster in my brain started running.
38:17I'm not going to say what or about who or about what the possibilities are, but I think y 'all can infer what I'm talking about, right, Pumps? Why are his stupid eyes half closed? Here's the thing, I swear. For sure, like he has to mention all that, but he seems like he's tranquilized. Yeah, and slurring. Or two, right? Yeah, we have, even during the campaign, where you're like, he seems like he's on something, like more so than just the crazy. So, you know, who knows? It could be that he could just be that crazy. But it does strike me the garb because he doesn't do the garbling, slurring, mouth of marbles and peanut butter all the time.
39:04Who knows? Somebody just said, I saw this in the OK. how can one be so shameless to face the third impeachment irrespective of termination because you can't shame the shameless but somebody pointed out here that hillary clinton did win the popular vote and that's a another really important thing about it's important that we realize that the idea that we live in a democracy is bullshit the idea that everybody makes it more difficult for people to vote especially people that live in poorer neighborhoods blacker neighborhoods browner neighborhoods. The Electoral College is an antiquated bullshit thing that needs to be abolished.
39:42The Second Amendment was written before there were semi automatic rifles that can kill, like in that school in Connecticut, Sandy Hook, that all the kids were hiding in a closet. And within 10 seconds, he killed like 15 little kids in just a few seconds. And so that's something that needs to be reworked. I think there's I think that Supreme Court needs a total rework. I think that we need to go total national popular vote. But thank you for reminding me. She did win the national vote, but it shouldn't have been that close with this guy. Okay. I want to ask your all's opinion at when I'm not a podcaster, I'm a designer.
40:21And when I design something for myself, it's real torture. When I pick something up for a client, it's super easy because I just can make the decision. So we're opening up and the next month or so are New York studio. so I don't have to work out of the house every day. And I can host a lot of guests. And y 'all know in our Oklahoma City studio, we have the blue cowhide wall behind us. So in this one, I wanna do like a blush color. Which one do you all like? The lighter, wait, this is the, wait. This is the lighter one here or the darker one. Which one do you all like for the background? put it up to your face just one at a time here's light dark and do you like that we're going kind of a bless you i want it to kind of have feminine vibes to it i like the dark lighter somebody says light dark dark dark dark local politics y 'all are just talking about politics we've moved on to the color palette in trump's america darker lighter lighter lighter darker okay thank you guys for your input, you know, maybe I'll use both of them in the background, but I think with all the toxic masculinity stuff, I've decided I want like a slightly feminine, no dark, lighter, DEI dark.
41:55DEI dark. Love that. That's so clever. Okay. I'll keep you guys posted. William Johnson said neither. Don't be a fun hater, William Johnson. Okay. So anyway, thanks for joining us for this live. The dementia, Dawn, is so depressing, you guys. It puts me in the worst mood talking about him. So I wanted to do something fun. Maybe one day we'll get back to talking about our grievances and things we've had it with. Yeah. Hopefully. All right, everybody. We will see you later today with more episodes. Thanks for joining our live. and somebody said just don't match his foundation. If somebody says go OKC Thunder, let's fucking go.
42:36Thunder out, baby, let's go. All right, bye.
