[Pharmaceutical Announcer]

Chronic migraine 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more, can make me feel like a spectator in my own life. Botox Onobotulinum toxin a prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It's the number one prescribed branded chronic migraine preventive treatment prescription.

Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injecting are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions including als, Lou Gehrig's disease, Myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Why wait? Ask your doctor. Visit botoxchronicmigraine.com or call 1-844botox to learn more.

[Podcast Host 1]

Hey everybody, welcome back to the Find out podcast. You got the full crew yet again today. We have so many stupid things to talk about. Like they're all pretty stupid. We are going to talk about and

[Podcast Host 2]

we have a good announcement but it's

[Podcast Host 3]

a low bar clear these days.

[Podcast Host 2]

I know. We got.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yep, everything's the Kennedy Center. Trump's name coming off. We've got the Iran deal which looks pretty awful. We've got the UFC fights which were pretty disgusting. And what was the other thing? Oh, and then Eric Trump trying to insider trade on the UFC fights as well, which, you know, it's like you guys have enough money.

[Podcast Host 4]

But before we get into why that means that Trump is trying to be corrupt.

[Podcast Host 1]

That is true. But before we get to those, we make a special announcement. So usually we were our shows come out on Tuesdays and Thursdays and guess what? Frankly we have too many shows now so we have to change up the

[Podcast Host 2]

schedule a little bit.

[Podcast Host 1]

So Tuesday will still be the first Find out show but we're going to be going to a Tuesday Friday format and we've got a very special guest for you guys for the very first Friday. Find out.

[Podcast Host 2]

We will have California Senator Adam Schiff joining us. So we are very excited to talk to him about all this stuff and we know you guys all love him.

[Podcast Host 1]

So that is going to be on

[Podcast Host 2]

Friday this week, so stay tuned.

[Podcast Host 1]

But let's dive into all of the ridiculous that have happened since the last time we recorded. The one good one is that Donald Trump's name has been removed from the Kennedy Center. I guess they had. What do they call it? The Donald Trump and John F. Kennedy center or some dumb name.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

And they tried to get it blocked, and someone actually set up a live

[Podcast Host 2]

stream watching it be taken.

[Podcast Host 1]

Hundreds of thousands of people watching it or something like that.

[Podcast Host 4]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

There was, like, a crazy thing.

[Podcast Host 5]

I know people are watching it.

[Podcast Host 1]

They. So it is down, but there is

[Podcast Host 4]

still a big curtain in front of it.

[Podcast Host 3]

Exactly.

[Sponsor Voiceover]

There.

[Podcast Host 1]

What?

[Podcast Host 4]

There's a big curtain in front of it blocking you from being able to see that the name is down.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yep.

[Podcast Host 3]

There's a tarp. They. And that. That was actually the thing that caught my attention, and I. It sent me on an absolute rabbit hole, as these things often do on the Internet. But I was looking up, like, shame. I was like, I was trying to. I was researching psychology and, like, why would.

[Pharmaceutical Announcer]

Why.

[Podcast Host 3]

Who ordered this tarp to be hung in front of it so that nobody could have pictures or video of it, of it. His name actually coming down. And why would it. And why would a person do that? And I. And I found this thing called the. The Compass of Shame. And it's like a tool that they use in therapy. And it's the. I'll see if I can remember it. But the Compass of shame is basically, it's a guide of how people tend to try to deflect shame rather than learn from it or process it. And the compass of shame, there's, like, four ways, of course. North, south, east, west. And there are four methods. One is withdrawal, Just hiding from it. So I'm, like, putting a tarp up. The second is avoidance. So having a UFC fight, talking about other things. Like, Trump didn't talk about it the whole weekend, the whole time that his name was coming down. He didn't post about it. He didn't say anything about it to the media. He avoided the whole thing. The third one is attacking yourself. Like, I'm a bad person. I'm. You know, the shame is deserved. He's never done that.

[Podcast Host 5]

No.

[Podcast Host 3]

And the fourth. And the fourth is attacking others, which is to blame, like, lash out against anyone who. Who either reminds you of the shameful thing or who even recognizes it, who even notices it. So I guarantee, if somebody asked him about, like, how do you feel? Like, if Maggie Haverman or Kaitlan Collins asked him about how he feels about his name coming off the. He might go from 0 to 100 and snap at him and. But, but when once I saw this, I was like, oh, my God. This explains every single reaction that he has. All of his knee jerk emotional responses, which tells us he does actually feel intense shame for being a Nepo baby loser failure who everyone hates.

[Podcast Host 4]

He has the definition of small man syndrome. Dude.

[Podcast Host 3]

Right, Exactly.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 3]

And we've all thought like, well, he's, he's shameless. He's a monster. But I, I truly, deeply believe now. No, he. He actually is holding all of that inside. And that's where all of this shit comes from, because it's all unresolved. And I, I just found that a little bit delicious.

[Podcast Host 2]

Well, he's, he's.

[Podcast Host 1]

He's always. I mean, there have been reports of

[Podcast Host 2]

him being terrified of people turning on him. Right. Or seeing him as weak or whatever.

[Podcast Host 1]

Which, it's really funny because pretty much

[Podcast Host 2]

everything he does to show strength actually shows weakness.

[Podcast Host 1]

But in a certain crowd, they eat it up. And like putting his name on the

[Podcast Host 2]

Kennedy center, like that guy doesn't.

[Podcast Host 1]

Do you think that guy's gone to

[Podcast Host 2]

one, like, concert in his life?

[Podcast Host 1]

Do you think, like when he was

[Podcast Host 2]

younger he, like went to a show or did anything like that?

[Podcast Host 1]

Like, I'm also having a hard time

[Podcast Host 2]

trying to think of him as like a 20 something. I think he was just making sure that black people didn't like, go into the Trump.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

Apart.

[Podcast Host 4]

No, I mean, the guy's never cried at a movie. He's never felt heartbreak. He's never done any of the normal that people do.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 4]

His whole existence is. Is this like up. His whole self worth is tied to how the public use him because he grew up in that and had made his whole life into that. So, like watching them publicly on him and rip off his. Off the face of the building.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 4]

That. That makes him feel shame.

[Podcast Host 3]

Yeah, for sure.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah. Well, this is all legacy building stuff too, right.

[Podcast Host 1]

Because I think like, he, you know, he's not like.

[Podcast Host 2]

I mean, he's a pretty dumb guy, but he knows he doesn't have a ton of time left. Right. He just.

[Pharmaceutical Announcer]

Listen to him.

[Podcast Host 4]

He talks about it all the time.

[Podcast Host 1]

I know he's like, I'm not going to heaven and I wanted to go to heaven.

[Podcast Host 3]

He's really worried about.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah, well, trust me, if that exists, which I highly doubt, he's not going.

[Podcast Host 4]

He ain't going there.

[Podcast Host 1]

He's not going there. No. But I mean, this weekend was kind

[Podcast Host 2]

of a cavalcade of embarrassments for him to be perfectly honest. Because if you.

[Podcast Host 1]

Moving on from that to the Iran,

[Podcast Host 2]

I'm going to put deal in quotes

[Podcast Host 1]

because apparently it's not even signed until

[Podcast Host 4]

Friday to talk about a deal.

[Podcast Host 1]

Open up the straight open.

[Podcast Host 2]

It's like no it's not opening right

[Podcast Host 3]

now but like it's just can we pretend the war never happened? That's the deal. That's the whole deal. It's like can we just go back to exactly how it was before we spent like $200 billion.

[Podcast Host 4]

Well and don't forget we're giving them 24 and reconstruction money.

[Podcast Host 1]

Well the problem is that we're actually

[Podcast Host 2]

worse off than we were at the beginning.

[Podcast Host 1]

So we are worse off. Right.

[Podcast Host 3]

But the deal, the deal like the state of the like there's no nuclear anything, there's no gas. Like the Strait of Hormuz is just going back to how it was.

[Podcast Host 1]

Right. So let me like quickly.

[Podcast Host 4]

Officially controlled.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah, yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

So no new sanctions. No new. So here we go. No new sanctions. All US UN sanctions on Iran will be lifted once the agreed an agreed upon timetable.

[Podcast Host 2]

Again kicking the can down the road

[Podcast Host 1]

waiving oil sanctions which means that Iran

[Podcast Host 2]

can start getting revenue from, from oil.

[Podcast Host 1]

Here's, here's the one that I think is particularly rich. The U. S agrees to release $25 billion of Iran's frozen assets including via direct cash transfers, cooperation among regional countries and financial credit lines. Now remind me guys, what was the thing in the Obama Iran deal that the Trumpers and Maga lost their shit about?

[Podcast Host 4]

$1.6 billion. $1.6 billion

[Podcast Host 1]

of unfrozen assets. It's the exact same thing except what 13, I don't know how many times

[Podcast Host 2]

bigger because I can't do that math.

[Podcast Host 1]

But like many, many times more. Even accounting for inflation, many, many times more. $25 billion on a pallets of cash. But there's more, there's more. Washington in coordination with its regional allies would prepare a reconstruction and development plan for Iran to be negotiated and agreed with Tehran within 60 days. So that is what was reported to be the 200 to $300 billion JD

[Podcast Host 4]

man confirmed this morning by the way. And they asked him. He confirmed, yeah, that's on the table. Yep.

[Podcast Host 3]

He's like oh well that's something we have to like hammer out. But yes, it's, it's very. He didn't say well it's happening fake news.

[Podcast Host 1]

And here before we get to here is also on the nuclear side. I'm not going to read all of these pieces, but pending the final agreement, Iran would maintain the current status of its nuclear program, refraining from further uranium enrichment and expansion of nuclear facilities. So, so in short, we're going right back to where we were. Minus 13 US service members who died, hundreds injured, $200 billion of munitions flushed down the drain. And now we're going to spend another 2 to $300 billion to rebuild what we broke and unfreeze $25 billion of Iranian assets and allow them to sell oil on the open market. So we can't even say that we went back to the way it was two months ago. We have gone backwards. What did the United States get out of this?

[Podcast Host 5]

Well, you know how they're going to sell it. Right. It's obvious. I mean, in the end, the only thing they can do is go, hey, we stopped them. We stopped them from getting a nuclear weapon. That's it. That's the only thing we're going to say. You say all that shit is worth it. And that's. They're just going to laser focus on that one point.

[Podcast Host 1]

But the problem, yes, you are 100% right. But the problem with that.

[Pharmaceutical Announcer]

Right.

[Podcast Host 1]

Is the war that was before. Right. The bombing war, the 10 day, 12 day war or whatever that was. So Trump came out and said, we obliterated their nuke, we obliterated their nuclear capabilities. It is totally wiped out. It is totally gone.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah, he's going around his well.

[Podcast Host 3]

Yeah, there's, there's no, there's nothing in this deal about even dealing with the, the highly enriched uranium that is just underground there. They were, they're like, we'll deal with that when like cooler heads prevail or whatever. Like, what does that mean? Yeah, when you stop killing them. When we stop bombing them.

[Podcast Host 2]

Like

[Podcast Host 4]

contingent on Israel backing out of Lebanon.

[Podcast Host 1]

No, I didn't see anything.

[Podcast Host 2]

I mean, I'm sure that's.

[Podcast Host 3]

Pretty sure that's. Israel has to play ball. Yeah. There was one other thing, though. I was, I was looking up that Americans have spent about $60 billion extra on gas because of the increased prices since, since the war started. So, so that was one other thing we got out of this was we spent $60 billion on gas. Yeah. To get to, you know, to give the gas oil company. So that's great.

[Podcast Host 1]

I mean, there's no way to frame

[Podcast Host 2]

this other than a complete catastrophe.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah, but they won't do it that way, of course.

[Podcast Host 2]

I mean, I don't think.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah, no, but like, that's the crazy part is nobody's going to change their mind too. Like, I. I don't think this is.

[Podcast Host 4]

They asked Hegseth. They were like, okay, this is the same deal as before and this is the same thing. And his. His defense was, yeah, but they're admitted. They're accepting it now because we came at them from a position of strength.

[Podcast Host 5]

Right? Yep.

[Podcast Host 4]

We were already in the deal.

[Podcast Host 3]

Dumb fuck.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah. This is literally them showing their. This is how they do it. They don't care about what actually happened. It's just about how they sell it. It's. It's not about the points or so

[Podcast Host 4]

question, actually, before we, before we move on, whatever happened to those pilots who got shot down and then we did the big rescue and.

[Pharmaceutical Announcer]

I don't know.

[Podcast Host 4]

Never heard of them because the whole story's.

[Podcast Host 1]

You know, I would.

[Podcast Host 4]

I would sell a kidney to say that that is not real. What happens. I'm betting a thousand dollars. What happened is they tried to go in and get that uranium dust and then they failed.

[Podcast Host 3]

They didn't get it.

[Podcast Host 1]

So I guess the question for. For anybody is what is the benefit

[Podcast Host 2]

of them telling that story if they then don't, like, trip, they don't, like,

[Podcast Host 1]

run these guys out.

[Podcast Host 4]

Right. That's the thing.

[Podcast Host 2]

We save these heroes. Right. That's why I think, Luke.

[Podcast Host 4]

That's what tells me it's because if. If it was a really thing and like, they really, you know, rescued these two, like, Blackhawk down type, they would have trotted them out across the entire country and they didn't.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yep.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah, that's true.

[Podcast Host 1]

I. I don't know. Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

I mean, I.

[Podcast Host 1]

It is interesting, right, because usually when those, they bring those, like if someone's been like, hostage, they bring them home and there's like a press conference and there's like a big celebration.

[Podcast Host 3]

Huge.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 3]

They would have thrown a huge coming home party. He. I mean, look at what he does over the most trivial, like, he. They. They would have been guests at the UFC fight. Like, they would be. They'd be. Their faces would be.

[Podcast Host 4]

But I'm saying it was all. I don't think it happened at all

[Podcast Host 3]

with Trump in between them.

[Sponsor Voiceover]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

I don't know.

[Podcast Host 5]

My favorite thing of all this was watching Hegseth work out.

[Podcast Host 1]

Oh, my God.

[Podcast Host 3]

Oh, my God. That was so funny.

[Podcast Host 1]

What was he doing?

[Podcast Host 5]

I don't know. It's painful to watch.

[Podcast Host 4]

He literally had some serious limp wrists.

[Podcast Host 5]

It's the weakest I've ever seen.

[Podcast Host 3]

Oh, my God. The.

[Podcast Host 1]

That. That's the worst part.

[Podcast Host 5]

Wrists.

[Podcast Host 4]

And like, I saw a lot of

[Podcast Host 3]

people going after him so bad on your wrist.

[Podcast Host 4]

Supposedly he did 45 reps of 135, which is a fair amount.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

Why did we only. So we saw the 44th and a half.

[Podcast Host 4]

So we saw, like, the last 10 or whatever. Yeah.

[Podcast Host 5]

So funny to watch, but hilarious.

[Podcast Host 3]

His leg was like, there's no excuse for this.

[Podcast Host 4]

There's no excuse.

[Podcast Host 1]

Also, he didn't have a lot of weight on him. I mean, that looked like. Those were maybe 20s, 25,

[Podcast Host 2]

that I

[Podcast Host 1]

work out, by the way. I did those this morning, and I am not in the best shape at the moment. And I managed to do it right. Like, but he just looked. I also want to know who leaked

[Podcast Host 2]

it, because, like, they leaked only certain parts of it.

[Podcast Host 3]

So funny.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

He looked so good. I mean, I don't want to gender it, but he just looked weak.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

Like, he didn't look like he knew what he was doing. And he does not know, like, the worst shape.

[Podcast Host 5]

No, he's like, his technique is even when he's doing, like, the calisthenics, where he's, like, running from side to side. Yeah. Like a. Like, he just says he looks like a. It's painful. It's like watching a kid in, like, gym class. Like, I'm not picking him for my team. No.

[Podcast Host 3]

Just does, like, watching RFK drink milk and jeans or do anything in jeans

[Podcast Host 1]

and shirtless in jeans. But, like, does MAGA look at that stuff and go, that's a real man.

[Podcast Host 5]

I don't know.

[Podcast Host 1]

Because it doesn't really look like it.

[Podcast Host 3]

Trump.

[Podcast Host 5]

You know what? I think they do.

[Podcast Host 4]

Yeah. Of them said they couldn't beat Trump.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah. They couldn't beat him up.

[Podcast Host 1]

But wait, how many, what percent?

[Podcast Host 4]

Over half of. Over half of mega dudes don't think they could beat Trump. Trump up.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

He's 80.

[Podcast Host 5]

I know.

[Podcast Host 1]

80 and obese.

[Podcast Host 3]

You could just kick him in the knees and he would not get up until he was 90.

[Podcast Host 5]

Just bruise immediately.

[Podcast Host 3]

I know.

[Podcast Host 1]

Well, yeah, well, Zach, you know, that's

[Podcast Host 2]

from all the handshaking.

[Podcast Host 1]

Because, you know when you stand real

[Podcast Host 4]

bad at those fights, the back of

[Podcast Host 1]

your pan gets all the bruises from handshake.

[Podcast Host 5]

Exactly. You know what I like, I think what happens with that with MAGA with the is it's the same we did with Biden when he was, like, clearly dementiaing. And we're like, just forget that part. Like, we just. You know, it's the same. They're just like, I don't want to. I don't care.

[Podcast Host 3]

You guys want to know Something really funny. So the other day I was like thinking about making a video about Trump's 80th birthday. It's like, I don't know, there's too many things to talk about each day. So I was looking up, like, what are the normal things that an 80 year old man would talk to their doctor about? Like in a routine physical.

[Podcast Host 5]

Sure.

[Podcast Host 3]

Just to kind of get an idea of like where these people's heads are at. And I'm telling you, dude, I can't even read the list because it would take about six minutes, but it's like reduced muscle. So there's just a list of physical muscle mass loss, fall risk, joint pain, arthritis, balance issues, cardiovascular blood pressure, heart disease, heart rhythm, vision, hearing loss, bladder and prostate issues, incontinence, enlarged prostate, bone density.

[Podcast Host 4]

Sounds like all of those.

[Podcast Host 3]

Slow wound healing, skin thinning, increased bruising, sleep changes, including lighter sleep and more nighttime waking, decreased appetite, unintentional weight loss. Didn't get that one.

[Sponsor Voiceover]

Nope.

[Podcast Host 3]

Sensitivity or the decreased appetite.

[Podcast Host 4]

You see that chow down at the Knicks game?

[Podcast Host 5]

Oh yeah, the fries.

[Podcast Host 1]

I had some fries and he took a nap Roll.

[Podcast Host 5]

Exactly. Nice little fry dinner.

[Podcast Host 3]

This is a good one. Increased sensitivity to medications and more complex medication management. I'm like, we literally heard about that. Dental issues, dry mouth, and that's just physical. Then there's like memory changes, cognitive decline, early dementia, slow processing speed. Yeah, grief.

[Podcast Host 4]

I think he checks every single box. Yeah, well, not the grief part though. He's not grief even he doesn't know what grief is.

[Podcast Host 3]

No, it's. It's grief and loss because you lose your spouse and your friend and your peers typically like, oh, you don't give

[Podcast Host 5]

a about that at all.

[Podcast Host 3]

And so then Melania could die tomorrow and he wouldn't give a. Oh, for sure.

[Podcast Host 1]

Well, he's buried his. He buried his ex wife in his golf course.

[Podcast Host 4]

Yeah, well, that was for the tax write off though. That was.

[Podcast Host 3]

So he pushing her down the chair. The stairs.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yes.

[Podcast Host 2]

I mean, allegedly.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah, she did, she did dive. She did die falling down the stairs,

[Podcast Host 2]

which is a weirdly weird way to die, I will say.

[Podcast Host 1]

But then he, then he stuck off

[Podcast Host 2]

the 19th green or off the N,

[Podcast Host 3]

you know, but no, they, I mean like, oh, and then existential concerns about mortality, legacy and purpose. I'm like, holy, dude. This dude is a walking textbook for an 80th physical exam. It wasn't like I wasn't looking up Trump stuff. I was just looking up, what would an average person do? Talk to their doctor about.

[Podcast Host 1]

I'm like, so he saw. The last time he went to Walter.

[Podcast Host 3]

Yes.

[Podcast Host 1]

He saw 22 specialists. Have you ever seen more than one doctor at a time? Do you think they were all lined up?

[Podcast Host 2]

Was it like a specialist?

[Podcast Host 3]

22. No, it's 22.

[Podcast Host 1]

22.

[Podcast Host 5]

How is that possible? Who? I can't even name 22 specialists.

[Podcast Host 3]

I didn't know there were 22 specialists. Like, you have to be either be like. So George. I think it was George H.W. bush, who was old. He saw five. That was how many specialists attended his.

[Podcast Host 5]

I just thought about this for there's. I know exactly what's happening. Like 100%. I know what's happening. There is no doctor in the world that would. Would go recommend that it would never happen.

[Podcast Host 3]

Right.

[Podcast Host 5]

Donald Trump is a known hypochondriac. He's afraid of death. Donald Trump said, every single fucking person that I can possibly see, bring him to me. I want them all to look at me because I'm worried that that's what happened.

[Podcast Host 4]

He's scared. He's.

[Podcast Host 1]

Because otherwise they.

[Podcast Host 3]

Why definitely.

[Podcast Host 1]

It's not like, I mean, yes, it's the President, so of course there is difference.

[Podcast Host 5]

That's an insane number.

[Podcast Host 1]

22.

[Podcast Host 3]

Because like, that's his third visit in 13 months.

[Podcast Host 5]

He's panicked.

[Podcast Host 1]

Well, he just loves the results, just keeps going back, which is something he actually said.

[Podcast Host 3]

Yeah, I know, I know.

[Podcast Host 1]

I love the results. So I just want to. You just want to keep going back in a clean bill of health. That might be the dumbest lie he's ever told.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah, right.

[Podcast Host 1]

Nobody does that. Also, like,

[Podcast Host 3]

there's no reason why. Zach, that's actually probably the most realistic scenario. If it is because of medical recommendations, like, if the. If doctors were actually required to do this, it's. It's not like brain stuff isn't complicated enough to have 22 specialists. Heart stuff isn't complicated enough. Skin stuff, memory stuff.

[Podcast Host 2]

Answer.

[Podcast Host 3]

In order to have 22, you have to have like multiple systems that are impacted by something that is like, transcending. Like, you have to like skin lesions and organ failure and dementia related cancer. Like, that's.

[Podcast Host 2]

I've got it.

[Podcast Host 3]

That causes that.

[Podcast Host 2]

I got it. Okay. I know, boys. I got it. I got it. He didn't go to Walter Reed. He went to the MA Hospital from the SNL a few months ago.

[Podcast Host 1]

This guy needs beef tallow, stat.

[Podcast Host 4]

Where is the protein injected into his veins?

[Podcast Host 5]

So if you get in the big max, he's good.

[Podcast Host 1]

You take. If you take the Maha, my hospital people and the real hospital people, maybe you know, with the, got the crystals and like all of that stuff. A punch in the face if you're updated on your vaccines, you know, like all this stuff. So maybe that RFK was over and being like, you need to eat more

[Podcast Host 3]

protein, you know, like, I think he should.

[Podcast Host 2]

I don't do good.

[Podcast Host 3]

Like, that's the one. You should drink a ton of raw milk.

[Podcast Host 1]

100.

[Podcast Host 2]

You imagine being near that 80 year old man with raw milk like after he ate it, after like 30 minutes. They already say that there's some like odors around.

[Podcast Host 5]

Of course he's cheating himself. Of course.

[Podcast Host 1]

Right. I mean, that is something

[Podcast Host 2]

that is very appropriate for, for him.

[Podcast Host 4]

Right.

[Podcast Host 3]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

Speaking of that, here's a transition.

[Podcast Host 2]

We didn't talk about this before, but we have to talk about this. Elon Musk is the world's first trillionaire.

[Podcast Host 1]

It's great and it is the dumbest

[Podcast Host 2]

thing ever, but it's true.

[Podcast Host 1]

And what's wild about it is especially

[Podcast Host 2]

if you go on LinkedIn, which, first of all LinkedIn is like, I use it.

[Podcast Host 1]

All these people are like, it just shows that hard work and dedication and never say no.

[Podcast Host 5]

Hate that.

[Podcast Host 1]

Make you a trillionaire. No, first of all, that you don't

[Podcast Host 3]

work a billion dollars, let alone a trillion.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah, he has like an emerald mind. Like you're like, oh, wow. He really pulled himself up from his bootstraps. He took his family's wealth and put it into PayPal and then cashed out. He got off his mind.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah, well actually like checking to make sure the people going in there were like collecting enough emeralds for him and

[Podcast Host 1]

then he flipped that money. Like he's never actually built anything.

[Podcast Host 5]

No.

[Podcast Host 4]

Like a founder of Tesla.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah. And now the, the SpaceX IPO, what was it? The. The valuation is 94 times the revenue.

[Podcast Host 3]

Crazy.

[Podcast Host 1]

Which is all. Got almost all government contracts. So like, let's say a Democrat wins and they do it. They investigate all of these SpaceX contracts and they go, well, no, we're going with Blue Origin. What happens to that company? They're done.

[Podcast Host 5]

Imagine going on Shark Tank and they're like, okay, so what's your valuation based on 94 times current revenue? They get the fuck out. That's our.

[Podcast Host 1]

No, I'm out, I'm out, I'm out, I'm out.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah, I'm out, I'm out.

[Podcast Host 3]

So what?

[Podcast Host 4]

O' Leary wouldn't get into that shit?

[Podcast Host 5]

No.

[Podcast Host 1]

And he's a fucking idiot.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah, I know.

[Podcast Host 3]

I didn't know. I didn't know what, like exactly what price to earnings was. I knew it was a number that you, that you follow, but the, the valuation just so. Because in case listeners don't know, and Zach, you, you probably know this best, but it's how many years it would take essentially to, to meet the, the valuation. Right? So like this company would have to make the same amount of money it makes for almost a century before it, before it has enough revenue to equal its alleged price right now, today. Which is like, that's a way of saying we believe that for the next 94 years this company will be a safe bet to buy right now. Which is fucking crazy.

[Podcast Host 1]

It's insane.

[Podcast Host 5]

It's also.

[Podcast Host 1]

But don't worry, guys.

[Podcast Host 3]

And the ceiling is 40. Like that seal. Like that's the rule. Like you don't go above 40 as a typical value.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah, they more than 2x. But, but here's the, here's the even bigger batch of thing is that they worked a deal so that the SpaceX stock will go into everyone's 401k programs as well. So it gets spread across and so everybody gets the shoulder some of this

[Podcast Host 5]

responsibility, this economic virus across the country.

[Podcast Host 4]

When it's down 50 in a year, we'll all feel it.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah, well, it's also like, they're like, he created, he created 4,000 millionaires. I'm like, well, there's a lockdown period

[Podcast Host 2]

there, first of all.

[Podcast Host 1]

So like, because I, I have been through an IPO.

[Podcast Host 2]

I worked at WeWork, and yes, I

[Podcast Host 1]

was there for the failed one and then I was there for the other one and I was like, not really thinking about it. I'm like, yes, I'm going to cash in my stock finally. And then they go, yeah, about that. You got to hold on to it for six months.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

And of course, what happened to the six months is that it went.

[Podcast Host 5]

There you go.

[Podcast Host 2]

Like, you know. No, I didn't get that.

[Podcast Host 3]

But yeah, none of us are financial advisors. But I will not be buying SpaceX.

[Podcast Host 4]

I'm not buying.

[Podcast Host 5]

No, dude. What is its value? It's just what, I don't understand what it does beyond like, hey, we made rockets and we're going to send them up. Like, okay, cool. For what fucking purpose? You know, I don't get it.

[Podcast Host 2]

Well, I, I mean, I could. I, I don't.

[Podcast Host 5]

Satellites, I'm sure, is the only thing.

[Podcast Host 3]

Yeah, satellites in space.

[Podcast Host 1]

There is, there is the shuttling back and forth to the International Space Station, though.

[Podcast Host 2]

That thing's going to close soon.

[Podcast Host 5]

No, that's not a revenue generator. You know what I mean, well, but

[Podcast Host 1]

I mean there is a cottage industry

[Podcast Host 2]

in this country of making large profits off of government contracts especially related to space.

[Podcast Host 5]

That's true.

[Podcast Host 1]

Like my understanding is that they, well they're part of Artemis so like they're doing that.

[Podcast Host 2]

So like the fly around and then the eventual landing on the moon in a couple of years or something and then starting to build that base. They're doing that and then the idea theoretically is from, from the moon you go to Mars and then.

[Podcast Host 5]

What a waste of fucking money. Holy shit.

[Podcast Host 1]

Well, I will say, I will say that like if you look. I mean it might be. You're right. If you look at history though and

[Podcast Host 2]

like what doing those science experiments up in the in orbit have done.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

Like there is a tremendous amount of

[Podcast Host 2]

value including MRI mach machines are, were partially invented by research in, in, in space. There's some poly like some plastics and

[Podcast Host 1]

stuff that have been made. There are real value in doing space

[Podcast Host 2]

other than finding aliens.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah, there's value because it leads to.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah because you spent all this money researching this stuff and you accidentally discover other stuff. So like there is a value. But when we cut snap benefits and we say oh you know, oh we're going to cut some, some Medicaid, like yeah. It seems like spending trillions of dollars

[Podcast Host 2]

on space feels a little silly.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah, it's nuts. I mean I just don't know how much we actually spend on NASA and all this.

[Podcast Host 1]

It's. I mean it's billions.

[Podcast Host 4]

The next person who tells me about how the US is going to be or the world's going to become multi planetary I'm going to punch him in the neck. Fucking idiot.

[Podcast Host 5]

We're not even dude.

[Podcast Host 1]

It's ridiculous.

[Podcast Host 3]

Funny when people talk about that I'm like you're going to, you're going to terraform another planet before this one is terraformed. We just have to stop ruin.

[Podcast Host 5]

Right.

[Podcast Host 1]

So they actually haven't figured out this is the big thing that like at first I was like oh maybe we could do Mars. We don't have a spaceship that would protect you from the radiation that you would get on that months long journey to. And the problem is to do it you have to make the spaceship heavier. So what does that mean? It's harder to get into the, into orbit. Like there's all this. Yeah, yeah. It's like it, there's, there's no way to know if you could even do the Matt Damon situation.

[Podcast Host 2]

Well, you first. I couldn't do that. You couldn't take your own and like make potatoes.

[Podcast Host 1]

Let's be very clear. In on the Mars soil. But like you couldn't. I. He would have died of radiation poisoning long before that.

[Podcast Host 2]

Ridiculous.

[Podcast Host 1]

Where he like flies in the air

[Podcast Host 2]

and they catch him in the orbit and bring him back. Like I don't see in the Martian. But like that is a scene that happens. It's a good movie.

[Podcast Host 4]

It is a good movie.

[Podcast Host 1]

So I'm sorry to ruin it for you. Mark Kelly did his three favorite space

[Podcast Host 2]

movies this weekend on Tick Tock. So no, really, it was that.

[Podcast Host 1]

It was interstellar and it was.

[Podcast Host 2]

I don't remember the other one.

[Podcast Host 5]

But 2001 maybe. I don't know.

[Podcast Host 1]

No, it was the Martian, Interstellar and something else I can't remember.

[Podcast Host 5]

13.

[Podcast Host 3]

Event horizon.

[Podcast Host 1]

It was not Event Horizon.

[Podcast Host 2]

It was not 2001.

[Podcast Host 1]

It wasn't that one where the old guys go into space.

[Podcast Host 5]

Clinton, Clint Eastwood, Space Cowboys or some.

[Podcast Host 1]

Which I actually thought was a funny kind of entertaining movie.

[Podcast Host 5]

I never saw it. Somehow I never saw it. Rattled that out of the back of my brain.

[Podcast Host 3]

I mean, it's Eastwood. Bring his chair with him. The stool.

[Podcast Host 1]

Or was it the chair? The chair did not get to go. The empty chair did not.

[Podcast Host 2]

Did not make it to space. And yeah, I know.

[Podcast Host 3]

First chair in space.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah, but I, I don't know.

[Podcast Host 4]

No, I got you, I got you. If, if they put me in the octagon with Trump, I'm hit it. So I'd hit him so hard he'd go to outer space. Another planet, ufc.

[Podcast Host 3]

You could also go with a folding chair. Like the chair. Like, come on.

[Podcast Host 1]

He did. He did get hit.

[Podcast Host 2]

That's WWE in a thing once.

[Podcast Host 3]

That's true.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah. Anyways, okay, so we had a UFC fight last night on the south lawn of the White House that cost taxpayers $60 million to put on.

[Podcast Host 3]

I think UFC paid the 60 million.

[Podcast Host 1]

Oh, they did, but. But then they did.

[Podcast Host 4]

They did not pay for the. They did not pay for the security and the. All the other that went with it.

[Podcast Host 3]

But they were gonna have to reconstruct the. The lawn too. I think the law, I think got destroyed.

[Podcast Host 4]

I'm sure Trump says that's not leaving. Trump says.

[Podcast Host 1]

But there was all of this advertising claim. Yeah, all this advertising for poly market and all this blatant violation.

[Podcast Host 4]

Don't forget the Riyadh stuff too. State sponsored murderers sponsors.

[Podcast Host 5]

Oh, they're sponsoring it. That's cool.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah, thanks.

[Podcast Host 4]

Right on the map.

[Podcast Host 1]

So the big thing that happened in the clip that everybody is sharing today is the guy who almost vomited on himself in the weigh in.

[Podcast Host 2]

If you remember that clip, I don't know what his name is.

[Podcast Host 1]

He literally walks up and throws up on himself. Yeah, I guess he got himself quote unquote together for the fight because afterwards he then said, michelle Obama is a wolf as a man and like upright America. And they all cheer, what the. Is that racist? Horseshit. Because it is racist. They say man because they can't say the other stuff.

[Podcast Host 2]

So this is.

[Podcast Host 1]

That was a code. And they all seem perfectly fine with it.

[Podcast Host 5]

Of course. It's fun.

[Podcast Host 1]

The first black first lady in American history.

[Podcast Host 5]

Their favorite.

[Podcast Host 2]

They're making fun of her.

[Podcast Host 5]

I don't know. The whole thing is just such a. Like, it's.

[Podcast Host 3]

Michelle Obama is just stunning. Like, she's stunning. It's insane that people come at Michelle. I'm like, seriously, it's like a model.

[Podcast Host 5]

I don't know. Like, the hard part for me is like, I look at like ufc. I think ufc. The UFC is the stupidest in the world. Like, the idea that two people just gonna beat the living out of each other is the dumbest. Like, there's no, like, at least boxing. There's some elegance and strategy. You have seen. I'm just gonna beat the out of you. And it's like, it's this barbaric horseshit. It's like, let's put it on the White House.

[Podcast Host 4]

On the White House.

[Podcast Host 5]

It's insane. To me, it's like literally taking the trashiest thing we do and going, let's just roll it out on the lawn.

[Podcast Host 4]

See, I don't know. I. I used to be a pretty like avid UFC watcher until I realized that like, like 90 of the fighters, 90 of the promoters, and a good chunk of the fans are either a racist, a rapist, a wife beater, or a right wing shitbag. It was like all right, I'm done with that.

[Podcast Host 5]

But.

[Podcast Host 4]

Or all of the above.

[Podcast Host 1]

But there's a lot of, like, strategy

[Podcast Host 4]

and technique that goes into it. It's not like, like, it's a very strategic sport, but it belongs nowhere near the White House at all.

[Podcast Host 3]

When were you into it, Luke? Like, what was peak UFC for you?

[Podcast Host 4]

Coolest. One of the coolest things I've ever seen on television was Jorge Masvidal making Ben Askren eat a flying knee in like 17 seconds. Fastest knockout in history.

[Podcast Host 3]

When was that?

[Podcast Host 4]

I think it was 18, 16 or 18.

[Podcast Host 3]

Okay, so you're a teenager.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah, yeah, I get it, I get it.

[Podcast Host 3]

But that, that was the thing that stuck out to me was it's like, I, I don't know, I liked UFC back in like the Anderson Silva, like, Royce Gracie, like, they were.

[Podcast Host 4]

That's a whole different story. That's a whole different era.

[Podcast Host 3]

Chocolate.

[Podcast Host 4]

That's a real era.

[Podcast Host 3]

Exactly. And, and that was that. It turns out I started looking up the, the ratings because I was like, what is, is UFC even popular? And I started looking up the ratings. The biggest fights, all the biggest fights in, in UFC history were from like 2006 to 2012 or 2013. As far as, like, individual. They had, they had fights that got viewed by 8 or 9 million people. It wasn't. And then it died. And then Conor McGregor bought it single handedly, brought it back for a little while. It's generating, it's generating a lot of money on, on pay per view, but in terms of cultural relevancy and like actual overall viewership, it. It's 10 years dead. Like, it is old. It is old. And it peaked a long time ago. And so then it was like, okay, it makes sense. It's like sad. UFC is trying to buy their self, buy themselves relevancy because of Trump and who is also trying to buy himself relevancy. So. But then it's like two losers trying to help each other. And so then I just kind of became something I laughed at because I don't, I didn't know any of the fighters on the card. I would have, I would have been into that.

[Podcast Host 4]

I knew some. I know I knew some of the fighters on the card. It, like, from an objective ex UFC fan, it was a good card.

[Podcast Host 5]

Nice.

[Podcast Host 4]

But that does not. I mean, it doesn't excuse anything.

[Podcast Host 5]

You know, here's the thing.

[Podcast Host 3]

No, it doesn't. It doesn't change anything.

[Podcast Host 5]

It's just like, it proves your point, though. Like, the Knicks winning was a way bigger story.

[Podcast Host 3]

Oh, my God. That Was huge. Oh, my God, it was huge, right?

[Podcast Host 2]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 4]

There's still shit tangentially related to the Knicks stuff that's like, huge in the news right now.

[Podcast Host 1]

Big.

[Podcast Host 4]

I would call them riots. That lady whose dog got killed by the cops all related to the Knicks.

[Podcast Host 5]

That's great.

[Podcast Host 3]

I kept my son up late to watch the end of that game because I was like, I think they're gonna. I think they're gonna win it right now. And he stayed up like 45 minutes

[Podcast Host 1]

late to watch as the resident New

[Podcast Host 2]

Yorker in this crew.

[Podcast Host 5]

There you go.

[Podcast Host 2]

Yes, they did there.

[Podcast Host 1]

There were some riots. They did like, light a bus on fire and ripped.

[Podcast Host 2]

You know, bad actors in among.

[Pharmaceutical Announcer]

I mean, that's the thing.

[Podcast Host 4]

It's bad.

[Podcast Host 1]

99.9 of them were all well behaved. And of course, the best. The best thing I thought was that

[Podcast Host 2]

guy who came up with that line, which is so good, which is like,

[Podcast Host 1]

my mayor is Muslim, my bagel is Jewish, my Christian is Dior.

[Podcast Host 5]

Dixon 4.

[Podcast Host 1]

And then they changed. It was such a funny thing, but also like, just emblematic of New York

[Podcast Host 2]

and melting pots and like the fact

[Podcast Host 3]

that, like, I thought it was the day of Love. I don't know.

[Podcast Host 4]

And then he sold it.

[Podcast Host 5]

Huh?

[Podcast Host 2]

Wait, what?

[Podcast Host 1]

He sold it to Kalshee, who sold,

[Podcast Host 4]

like a dude, that little jingle, that little rhyme.

[Podcast Host 1]

Oh, he did that? Got that.

[Podcast Host 5]

He trademarked it or some shit.

[Podcast Host 4]

He made the video and then he sold the video to them.

[Podcast Host 5]

Oh, oh, well.

[Podcast Host 4]

And they used it in a bunch of promotions.

[Podcast Host 1]

I mean, but everybody's been using it in New York.

[Podcast Host 2]

Like, everybody's got a, like a line because then they had to change it when they lost because Trump was there. But the only game they lost, Donald Trump was there, which is the funniest

[Podcast Host 1]

thing, but it was, it was fun. I mean, I am a Celtics fan,

[Podcast Host 2]

so, like, I, I temporarily paused my

[Podcast Host 1]

hatred of the Knicks because it was

[Podcast Host 2]

actually really fun to see everybody so excited. And, and of course, just. It's funny that Memdani is mayor now. And it's like everybody's like, everything's great now.

[Podcast Host 1]

Crime's dropping.

[Podcast Host 4]

The Knicks one mom, Donna stand.

[Podcast Host 1]

Man, we got two year old free health care or free child care. Like, we got no, no worries in the world here.

[Podcast Host 2]

Like, this is a lot better than that trash mayor we had before, but. Yeah, but it was.

[Podcast Host 1]

I, I agree. The Knicks. The Knicks winning the NBA championship is

[Podcast Host 2]

such a bigger deal.

[Podcast Host 3]

Oh, yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

382.

[Podcast Host 1]

I just find it. It's just very much a hearkening back

[Podcast Host 2]

to Like, I just think of Gladiator.

[Podcast Host 4]

Right.

[Podcast Host 1]

It's like, very much.

[Podcast Host 4]

Oh, yeah.

[Podcast Host 3]

No, I mean, it's so on the nose.

[Podcast Host 5]

It's kill each other. It's like. That's all it is.

[Podcast Host 3]

Gross. Old guys, too. It's like, gross.

[Podcast Host 4]

You know, it is interesting. I've seen a lot of people saying that, you know, it's the sign of a dying empire that we've got gladiators on the front line.

[Podcast Host 3]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 4]

That's actually antithetical to history. Rome didn't fall until they stopped doing gladiator fights. Really, when they stopped doing them, that's when the fall of Rome happened.

[Podcast Host 5]

That's interesting.

[Podcast Host 3]

So now we have to do it forever. I don't want to.

[Podcast Host 4]

Yes. You know what?

[Podcast Host 5]

The Democrats got to keep going.

[Podcast Host 4]

Next Democrat president.

[Podcast Host 1]

I want.

[Podcast Host 4]

I don't even know.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1]

What's the replacement? Could we have an NBA finals that the. The. The lawn is big enough for a basketball court. Right. That would be better.

[Podcast Host 5]

That could work.

[Podcast Host 1]

Or we just hold that.

[Podcast Host 4]

That ballroom is going to be like a pool and do like, I'm gonna

[Podcast Host 3]

drag queen read off. That's what I want.

[Podcast Host 4]

That's what I'm saying.

[Podcast Host 1]

Well, D.C. has drag races where. Where people drag. Drag queens race in high heels in Dupont Circle. Holy every pride. Actually, it must have just happened. It must have just happened. Or maybe it's. No, maybe it's Halloween. Maybe it's a separate event. But, like. No, it's. You just go watch it. Like, it's just out in the open.

[Podcast Host 3]

And I mean, I'd buy tickets to that. And they could require you to wear drag to get in. Like, they require you to be. You have to have a 0.55 waist to height ratio to get into Trump's UFC fight.

[Podcast Host 2]

Well, I tell you that these.

[Podcast Host 3]

Which Trump did not, by the way, could it.

[Podcast Host 1]

No, the.

[Podcast Host 2]

These drag queens can run like these in heels.

[Podcast Host 1]

Like, I would break my ankle.

[Podcast Host 2]

That's tough stuff.

[Podcast Host 3]

This is the movie Kinky Boots. There's a whole movie about making boots for drag queens that have to be, like, really strong because. Because some drag queens are like £280. Make these boots that have heels that are this long that can't break. And, like, it's all. It's actually a great movie.

[Podcast Host 5]

I've heard people like it. I don't even. I didn't know that's what it was about. Assumed it was something in that realm.

[Podcast Host 3]

Right, right.

[Podcast Host 4]

I know.

[Pharmaceutical Announcer]

Right.

[Podcast Host 3]

You're like, well, it's called Kinky Boots, but no, it's really good. So. And maybe Kinky Boots can sponsor the. The drag race when go.

[Podcast Host 4]

I like it.

[Podcast Host 5]

That's a good idea.

[Podcast Host 2]

Was there. Was there something else we were going

[Podcast Host 1]

to talk about that I missed?

[Podcast Host 5]

I feel like there was.

[Podcast Host 3]

Speaking of Kinky Boot, Daniel Cormier.

[Podcast Host 4]

That's what it is. Eric Trump being a corrupt little.

[Podcast Host 1]

Oh, yeah, talk about this, Luke.

[Podcast Host 4]

So Daniel Cormier is one of, like, the bigger UFC guys. He was part of the putting. Like, he was part of the event. Last night, Eric Trump sent him a Twitter dm and in a now deleted post, Daniel Cormier shared that conversation wherein Eric Trump asked him, are any of the fighters hurt or are any of the fights rigged? I want to put money on an upset, but I don't want to do it if they're like, if they're set. And he was like, and who are you putting money on? And Cormier is like, dude, I. I'm part of it. I can't put any money on this. What are we. What are you talking about?

[Podcast Host 3]

This is illegal on, like 150 levels.

[Podcast Host 4]

Dude.

[Podcast Host 3]

What the fuck are you talking?

[Podcast Host 4]

Crazy.

[Podcast Host 1]

First of all, like, it's a day

[Podcast Host 4]

that ends in Y, so we shouldn't be surprised that a Trump is corrupt,

[Podcast Host 1]

but like, God damn.

[Podcast Host 3]

So it's got to be Eric.

[Podcast Host 1]

So much. Well, it sounds like the one in

[Podcast Host 4]

with the drone companies and too, right? Or is that Junior?

[Podcast Host 3]

No, I think that's.

[Podcast Host 4]

No, Junior's in with Ki.

[Podcast Host 1]

Junior's the gun.

[Podcast Host 5]

The amount of corruption with those two, like, dig into it, it's insane. Like, Trump is siphoning all of his over to the both of them and that, like, the amount of they're doing is, like, mind boggling. It's crazy.

[Podcast Host 1]

I can't even, like, he's doubled his net worth in two years.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah, yeah, that's crazy.

[Podcast Host 4]

Not to like, pivot back to the trillionaire thing, but I do think it's important to say that Elon Musk gained more in net worth on Friday with the SpaceX IPO than the next guy down has earned in his entire life.

[Podcast Host 5]

That's insane.

[Podcast Host 1]

Oh, I think he's worth more than. Or he's worth.

[Podcast Host 4]

No, no, I'm just saying, like. Yeah, he made so much money in one day.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah. And all he's doing is, like, rummaging around, taking ketamine and.

[Podcast Host 4]

Well, he's like, starting race riots in

[Podcast Host 1]

the uk, tweeting about, like, white replacement theory and.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah, like, that. He's working hard out there.

[Podcast Host 4]

Yeah, working. Yeah, working hard.

[Podcast Host 5]

I hate.

[Podcast Host 4]

Boy. Brian and I are gonna have a hell of a time with that tomorrow and get angry. I already know it.

[Podcast Host 3]

Speaking of white replacement theory. What? There was a.

[Podcast Host 4]

When we get to replace Trump.

[Podcast Host 3]

There's an article this morning. There's an article this morning in the New York Times we haven't talked about yet.

[Podcast Host 4]

Oh, yeah.

[Podcast Host 3]

Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, two of the most tenured White House reporters who have ever lived. Swan was like. He was, like, cataloging what was happening in Trump's first term. Like, these guys, these two have been doing this for over a decade. They released an article this morning that's an advance on their book, essentially, that's coming out, I think, in, like, two weeks. And they talked about two things. It was mainly around Stephen Miller's influence inside the White House through the lens of martial law and the suspension of habeas corpus and the invocation of the Insurrection Act. And what we found out was that. But April 2025, like, this is, like, peak Trump. Like, he's getting all of his people through, like, Doge's full steam. In April, Stephen Miller was already recognizing that they were getting shut down enough, that they were getting slowed down enough on immigration and mass deportations that he told Trump that he needs to suspend habeas. He needs to sign a. An executive order saying that he has the authority to suspend habeas corpus, which is explicitly in Article 1, which is the legislative branch of the Constitution. It is only Congress can suspend habeas corpus. So Stephen Miller said, you need to suspend habeas corpus only for undocumented immigrants, so that they don't have due process, they don't have rights to challenge their detention, and we can just get everybody out. And I'll get back to that. The second one was after Minneapolis, after Alex Preddy and Renee Goode were killed. He similarly told Trump to invoke the Insurrection act so that they could go in with armed forces in Minneapolis and just crush the protests. In. In both cases, and this is the part that, like, the headlines are like, oh, it was scary. They wanted to suspend constitutional rights. But the part that I thought. I thought was the most interesting was that in both cases, he was shut down. And he was shut down because the White House lawyers and the White House communications team. Stephen Chung, I think is his name, or Chang. They were in the room with Susie Wiles, and together they said the legal backlash and the public relations backlash would be so severe in both cases that this is a bad fucking idea. And in both cases, Susie Wiles told Donald Trump, like, this is a bad idea. It's not worth it. Pick other battles elsewhere. So the public relations backlash, that's this. That's all of the people. That's no Kings. That's the protest. That's like the fact that because the judges did what the judges did, and the judges have done a pretty fucking good job job. But we didn't know. Like, we didn't know. And during no Kings, if we were really changing, like, turning heads when it matt, like where it mattered most. But it turns out, like, the lawyers were looking at this and even the people we can't stand, like Stephen Chung looked at this and they were like, ah, the backlash isn't worth it. It doesn't outweigh the costs. It's a bad idea.

[Podcast Host 1]

How would you, how would you even suspend habeas corpus for only certain people? How would that even work?

[Podcast Host 3]

I mean, you just can't.

[Podcast Host 1]

You just have to suspend it or you don't.

[Podcast Host 3]

It says only in instances. The habeas corpus, the right to, you know, the, the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended except in cases of invasion or armed rebellion. And that's been reinforced by the courts many times. And so that's why Stephen Miller started saying, invasion, invasion, invasion, invasion all last spring. He. He said invasion every time he got on camera. And they talk about this in the book because he was trying to change the public narrative. And so by pushing back and saying, like, ice is invading. Like the, the Marines in Los Angeles, the National Guard. These are the invaders. The protests, no Kings was peaceful. Like, there were reasons that people after, after the Hortmans were murdered there. That was, that was a day of no kings.

[Podcast Host 4]

And they went last week.

[Podcast Host 3]

Yeah. And they went and had peaceful protests the day that two people were executed by a MAGA fucking terrorist. And that the, the caution and the, and the sense of the people on the left pushing back is why they didn't do that stuff. Like, it's why it wasn't fucking worth it. And so I think people really need to understand that we talk about, like, don't take the bait. Like, protest. Use your voice. Like share. You're commenting, you're influencing the algorithms. Get out. Hold your fucking dumb signs. Like, protesting works. All this shit works. And we just found out, like, based on. They said over a thousand interviews with what with, with Trump administration insiders over like a year thousand getting all this. Jesus. Over a thousand interviews with insiders. That's how they pieced this book together. And that's. And that's. Like, that's how we know that this is what happened and that we did have an impact, even when we didn't know how to measure it ourselves.

[Podcast Host 1]

I mean, it is good to know that.

[Podcast Host 2]

That this stuff works and that people do need to hear this. And also know that, like, if those protests had. Had gotten violent, all hell would have broken loose.

[Podcast Host 4]

Right. It would have been crazy.

[Podcast Host 3]

The restraint Stephen Miller would go see.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yep, 100. And, like, you know, when you're dealing with hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, it only takes a couple

[Podcast Host 2]

bad actors to, like, cause chaos.

[Podcast Host 1]

And it's pretty remarkable that our side

[Podcast Host 2]

did not do that. So just another example of how we're better.

[Podcast Host 4]

Yeah. I mean, they couldn't even do that at the White House last night to those fat, redneck sacks of gotten a giant fist fight at the ufc.

[Podcast Host 1]

Fights in the crowd. In the crowd.

[Podcast Host 3]

I didn't see that.

[Podcast Host 1]

They couldn't even show up to watch

[Podcast Host 4]

other people fight without getting in a fight.

[Podcast Host 1]

You're at the White House.

[Podcast Host 3]

Wow. Like, I mean, in their defense, what it once meant.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah, yeah.

[Podcast Host 4]

It means very little right now.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah. Nothing.

[Podcast Host 4]

They turn. They turned the Treaty Room in the White House into a locker room. You see that?

[Podcast Host 1]

Oh, cool.

[Podcast Host 3]

Cool.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

That's awesome.

[Podcast Host 4]

Same place where we swear in Supreme Court justices, by the way.

[Podcast Host 2]

Oh.

[Podcast Host 1]

Oh, nice.

[Podcast Host 2]

Nice.

[Podcast Host 1]

So now it just got.

[Podcast Host 3]

Was that the room with Trump's bloody fist pumping on the. Back in. On the background, he had, like, a picture of himself with the fighters in front of him.

[Podcast Host 4]

Like. Well, there's also that he was also. The Jefferson Room was also turned into something for the. Oh, it was. Where the UFC announcers were sitting watching was in the Jefferson Room.

[Podcast Host 2]

Do you know who else had a

[Podcast Host 1]

wonderful time last night?

[Podcast Host 2]

And I'm going to cut this very short so I don't get myself in trouble. Lindsey Graham.

[Podcast Host 1]

Loved it. Anyways, moving on. Moving on. No, there's photos. There's photos.

[Podcast Host 4]

Oh, I saw.

[Podcast Host 2]

I saw it.

[Podcast Host 1]

A great time. Prepped himself up before that, or what?

[Podcast Host 5]

I don't know. I gotta see what this is.

[Podcast Host 1]

I wouldn't. I would never do this if he

[Podcast Host 2]

wasn't such a piece of. But because he's a piece of. And he's done awful, awful things to this country. I will make that joke. Everyone's going to look for it now.

[Podcast Host 1]

It's not like. It's not like, like, crazy photo. It's just him with a couple of

[Podcast Host 2]

the fighters, the big burly ones, shirtless.

[Podcast Host 5]

Oh, yeah. Well, we all know about that.

[Podcast Host 1]

Yeah. Anyways, that's a good note to wrap on.

[Podcast Host 2]

You know, live your best life, Lindsay. You know, just do your thing.

[Podcast Host 1]

I hope you're happy just putting us in every war imaginable.

[Podcast Host 2]

But, you know, anyways, because he wants all the wars anyways.

[Podcast Host 3]

He likes the soldiers so much.

[Podcast Host 2]

I never should have started this.

[Podcast Host 1]

Okay, guys, I did.

[Podcast Host 2]

I did. I did.

[Podcast Host 1]

Well, he's so awful that, like, I mean, anyways. Okay, well. But you know what's not awful is we're gonna have a Friday show with Senator Adam Schiff.

[Podcast Host 2]

Though if he watches this, he might be like, I have a meeting that

[Podcast Host 5]

I have to go to.

[Podcast Host 2]

I was like, I can't do this. No, he's, he's.

[Sponsor Voiceover]

He's.

[Podcast Host 1]

He was an impeachment guy, like, actually

[Podcast Host 2]

presented the case that he's.

[Podcast Host 1]

He's.

[Podcast Host 2]

He's. He could handle it.

[Podcast Host 1]

So we're gonna have Adam Schiff on the show on Friday. And also. Oh, Zach, what did we launch on Friday?

[Podcast Host 5]

Brad and Corey show with Brad and Corey.

[Podcast Host 1]

[Podcast Host 3]

No. Who, who, who is in that show?

[Podcast Host 5]

Cfh Unfiltered is Corey and Brad is Brad Doggett.

[Podcast Host 3]

Brad and Corey.

[Podcast Host 2]

Oh, you're just gonna. You were looking for Brad and Corey as the answer to the brand.

[Podcast Host 3]

I was making a Brad and Corey joke. Yeah, it's the Brad.

[Podcast Host 5]

But it's a helpful setup for me to actually tell you who's in the show by the names, you know.

[Podcast Host 1]

Well, and they actually do have their own YouTube channel. But if you go to Brad and the Brad and Corey show, you'll find

[Podcast Host 2]

out there's one episode, really good one there. It's sort of like a MAGA reactions thing. They're looking at that clips and reacting

[Podcast Host 1]

to them sort of. Sort of like, how. What was that show?

[Podcast Host 2]

I love the 80s or I love the 90s that the H1 used to have where they look at a clip that was a billion years old and

[Podcast Host 1]

be like, remember back in the day?

[Podcast Host 2]

This is just like, look at this stupid idiot.

[Podcast Host 5]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2]

And you know, basically trying to give you some levity in a period of darkness.

[Podcast Host 1]

So that is happening. And so. So find out is Tuesdays and Fridays now. Also, big news. Our social app passed 10,000, 000 users this weekend. So we have over 10, 000.

And also don't forget on Fridays we have our live show every Friday at noon, so make sure you tune in for that too. So with that, have a great week. Hopefully nothing too crazy happens. I'm sure it will and we'll be back on Friday. Bye everybody.
