Or like everyone who tried it, I was like, you don't even want to do that.
Just go get in line.
It's not worth 20 bucks.
Can you get in trouble for that?
Not really, no.
There's like, apparently, if my manager finds out, he tries to take a cut of it.
And I'm like, well, that's kind of bullshit.
Because we don't get tipped out.
Right.
So, uh, so like one time I asked, I asked another bartender for change.
I was like, Hey, can you break this for me?
And he was like, yeah.
He's like, yeah, but don't, don't tell Joe.
Cause he'll try it.
He'll, he'll like ask for a cut of it.
I was like, no fucking way.
That's like crazy.
Like, cause we don't, yeah, we don't get, it's, it's really weird.
I've never been in like a, like a doorman situation where we don't get tipped out.
You, you have gotten tipped out at other places.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cause it's kind of like, it's kind of like the expectation cause it's like, Hey, we're like protecting you.
Sure.
Everybody's working together for the same night.
Yeah.
It's like we're like protecting you.
Like you kind of want us to be like stoked on you.
You know, I'm well, yes.
So if that ever happens and then someone fucks with my manager, I'm just going to let him get beat up.
Yep.
Do the Spider-Man thing.
But then the guy you let beat up your manager while he's going to steal a car and kill your Uncle Ben in the process.
Damn, I didn't even think about that.
Honestly, fuck my Uncle Ben.
You know, my Uncle Ben's a real piece of shit.
Is your Uncle Ben paying your bills?
No, no.
And honestly, he used to hug people for too long.
So, like, fuck my Uncle Ben.
He was real defensive of Diddy for a long time.
He's like, you don't know him like I know him!
Did you see the pictures of his basketball court?
Did he's?
Yeah.
No.
He has two king-sized beds on his basketball court, like, next, like, like, um, kind of going on to where the three-point lines on the sides go.
What does that mean?
What is the excuse for that?
I don't know, like... What is the, like, uh, non-sex trafficking reason for that?
What was, what was Diddy's liability insurance looking like when he had so much lube on a basketball court?
Did you see that video of him with Justin Bieber from when he was 15?
No.
It's so fucked.
I remember like watching Justin Bieber interact with him, I think, and like older celebrities and being like, I feel unsafe just watching this.
Yeah, this doesn't feel good.
As an 18 year old, or however, I don't know what the age difference is between me and Justin Bieber, but I'm pretty sure I was aware about grooming and stuff happening and Nickelodeon.
various other child entertainment enterprises.
Yeah, it's fucked up.
He's like, yeah, he's 15 now.
Here's a here's a Lamborghini he's got.
And I we're going to go.
We're going to spend 48 hours going buck wild.
And I can't edit at an undisclosed location.
Well, why are why why are why are be my parents letting him hang out with Diddy for 48 hours?
Yeah.
Because I feel like, yeah, you can go do stuff with Diddy.
He's like a mogul.
He's probably going to help you out with your career.
But then he's like, no, we need him for 48 hours.
Can I come?
Can I be there with my kid?
He's probably ingratiated himself with the family.
Been alone with him a bunch already.
I saw a video with that journalist Tore, the guy who does all the hip hop journalism.
Tore?
Not the political one, but the one who does music journalism.
I don't know that guy.
And he was saying, he's like, I had known Diddy for years, but because I was who I was, I never got to see that stuff.
Cause I'm a journalist, you know?
Yeah.
He's like, but one time I asked, I asked Diddy if he can hook, um, he's like, I never asked him for favor.
I have this, I have this young, this young nephew who, um, who was just trying to do some stuff.
And he's like, can I, you know, I got him an internship at bad boy.
And he said, and it just ended abruptly.
And I never found out why until years later.
Dude, he was like, Hey, either you come home with me tonight or your internship's over.
Oh my God.
And it's like, damn, bro.
Like that was, that was like, that's how brazen he was.
Well, and I mean, apparently it didn't fucking matter because there was the, you know, the, the fear about.
Yep.
Being seen as a male victim, you know, like what, did you see what Soulja Boy posted today?
Oh no.
He was just like, oh, I would have never been caught, uh, getting, getting taken advantage of by Diddy.
Cause I'm not a fucking queer or whatever, whatever he said.
Hold your boy.
Uh, I don't know if he actually used like a homophobic slur, but that was like the intent was, uh, you're a pussy if you, if you're like, like I'm RIP to you, but I'm different.
Yeah, it's just like, yeah, man, that's why nobody fucking came out is because they're worried about getting called a woman or whatever by you.
Like I feel like I feel bad for like Meek Mill, like Meek Mill's catching the mill strays because there's like apparently audio of them like fucking.
I heard that audio.
I don't know.
Yeah, I heard the audio.
I don't know how true, but it's crazy.
Yeah.
Oof.
But yeah, he said something like.
I know what a 15-year-old boy's dream is, and we're going to be doing a 15-year-old boy's dream for 48 hours.
Oh no.
And you can just see, probably the last time you saw Justin Bieber look like a child, look like an innocent boy.
Be pure.
He's got a kind of confused smile on his face.
It's fucking crazy.
Yeah, I don't know.
It was funny.
My dad, like, told me much later that after I did The Great Pretenders, we got approached by, like, agents and shit.
Who wanted to me to keep doing Hollywood shit.
And my dad was like, nope, nope.
And it wasn't even like for the abuse thing.
I think he just didn't like the culture and didn't like, you know, whatever.
But it's like, yeah, if I shout out to dad for that, you know, right.
Like I could I could be on a fucking HBO special right now, if not for my dad.
Yeah, exactly.
And it's not like it's not like you were doing like you're doing the great pretenders.
It's not like you like showed your acting chops.
Like you just show that you were like a cute teen.
Well, yeah, they wanted me for something worse than acting, which was modeling.
They wanted me to be a child model.
Yeah, no, thank you.
I don't even get like a like a cool, cool movie poster out of the abuse.
It's crazy how like people will like date like a 19 year old and then people like, yeah, but they grew up modeling.
OK, which person grew up model?
The 19 year old.
No, but they, they grew up, they grew up modeling.
So they're like used to adults and stuff.
So you're saying an adult, uh, like a older person than 19.
Yeah.
An adult, like a, you know, like someone in their like thirties dating a 19 year old.
And you know, and they're like, no, it's okay though.
Cause like they, you know, they're, they're familiar because, um, you know, cause like they grew up in modeling.
It's like, that's fucked.
That's not.
Oh no, it's okay.
They're from Thailand.
They're used to this sort of behavior.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
That's fucking crazy.
Oh no, it's okay.
The abuse is a second home to them.
They'd be confused if I weren't doing it.
They'd think it's weird.
They'd think I didn't love them.
If I wasn't actively grooming them, they'd think I didn't like them.
When you go to a foreign nation, do you turn down their food?
It's an insult.
It's a sign of privilege.
Check your privilege, bro.
Alright, you ready?
Yes, sir.
The liberals are destroying California, and conservative humor gone awry... Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist-fornia today.
So stay tuned, we're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
Stay tuned guys, we'll show you exactly what it looks like when you destroy the desert.
All their environmental stuff.
Stay tuned.
Alright, I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
Kamala Harris pulling out the blicky is responsible.
And we're documenting it.
What's up, everybody?
Thank you for joining another wonderful episode of Minion Death Cult.
Tony, what's on your mind?
Honestly, I'm pretty devastated.
I got some really, like, fucked up news today that I wasn't really prepared for.
It's just one of those things that really makes you question the reality of life and what everything kind of is.
You know how Japan has those square watermelons?
Yeah.
Like the cube watermelons?
Yeah.
They've had them forever.
Okay.
You know?
And I'm like, why don't we... Someone sent me a picture of them.
Like, why don't we have these square watermelons in the United States?
These round watermelons are taking up so much room in my fridge.
Yeah.
I want the cool...
Cube watermelon.
Who wouldn't?
Today I found out that those watermelons are like inedible.
Oh, whoa.
Yeah.
Why?
They're just not good.
They don't ripen correctly.
The inside of them are like yellow and they're not a yellow watermelon.
The inside of them are like not ripe.
They're like they don't ever become ripe.
They're like a they're like a fucked up watermelon.
It's purely aesthetic.
They don't they don't taste good at all.
Yeah, I mean, it's they're like the pugs of fruit, just barely able to stay alive.
See, I thought I thought that, you know, they just grown in like a like a like a glass cube or, you know, like a plexiglass cube.
You know, I thought you were fine when you thought we were strangling fruit for just purely aesthetic reasons.
And I'm finding out that every square, every key watermelon is just a good watermelon that never, never got to be.
And it kind of fucked me up.
It kind of fucked me up.
I'm kind of been going through it.
Since I found that out this morning, actually, so if I'm a little off today, that's that's why.
Well, we had a whole show planned, but I really want to dig into this.
You I would I would take it the opposite way.
I would say you were you were.
Worried about missing out, weren't you?
You were worried about, gosh, I just can't experience the beauty, the bliss of eating a cubic watermelon.
Now that you know it's a lie, don't you feel, I would feel vindicated.
There's that, you know, the, the dream sure was based on false premises, but, um, but it's better.
You don't want to eat the, the, the, the false fruit.
I do feel, I feel a bit of guilt though, for every time I looked at a watermelon in my fridge and I thought to myself, God, there can be two watermelons where you're at.
Yeah.
And I had a lot of scorn and a lot of animosity towards these watermelons that I actually loved, you know, and the whole time, the whole time I was treating them wrong.
And I was, I was, it's not fair.
You know, it's, it's kind of just like what we do and everything.
It's like, not everyone can be a model.
Not every, you know, not everyone, the life, life happens in imperfections and turns out That, you know, that that yellow spot with like the wasp, the wasp scratches, you're not going to find that on a cube watermelon.
That's the good stuff.
And yeah, honestly, I think I'm going to come out of this better.
I think I'm going to come out of this with a different perspective.
I don't know.
Thank you for that.
Actually, I really needed that.
I'm a lot to think about, a lot to think about.
Sure.
Yeah.
A couple of things.
The cubic watermelon while aesthetically pleasing is kind of like, you know, the more aesthetically pleasing members of our society, the actresses, the models, the actors who look so beautiful on the outside, but are really totally rotten and just unfit for, for human society on the inside.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
There's always a, there's always a give and a take, you know what I mean?
You have to give up part of your soul, you know, and maybe, maybe that yellow inside isn't narcissism, but it is like severe childhood abuse.
I wish they were allowed to bulge and ripen properly.
sad like the the cage of these people were the the cubic cage these people were raised in never allowed them to ripen never allowed it to become sweet fruit and um yeah that's wow so every time every time i see a celebrity now i'm gonna look at that look at that cubic look at that cubic watermelon i wish they were around i wish they were around i wish they were allowed to bulge and ripen properly i do like that it really does seem like the cubic watermelon
gave you body dysmorphia like like via munchausen like like yeah or Or by proxy?
Body dysmorphia by proxy, I guess?
That probably has been the origin of my body dysmorphia the entire time.
The whole time I've been dealing with that in my actual life.
It's probably because I've been comparing myself to the Cube Watermelon.
Wow, this is really, this is liberating.
Alright, anyway, what's up everybody?
We got a wonderful show for you today.
I think we gotta talk about the big news.
The big news in politics and both like working class politics and electoral politics.
In a stunning turn of events, the Teamsters do a non-endorsement.
My union, the Teamsters union...
Do a non-endorsement of either candidate.
Hell yeah.
Which I think is fine.
I think, I think that's cool.
I'm not as mad.
A lot of my, a lot of my Teamsters brothers and sisters are mad that the Teamsters didn't endorse Kamala Harris.
And even like a lot of libs are mad about it.
I'd say like more libs are mad about this than Teamsters are mad about it.
As we'll get into with the voting here.
But yeah, there seems to be like a lot of chagrin on the liberal side about, you know, this is a, this is a win for Trump.
You just, you not doing an endorsement, you know, the, the leadership not doing an endorsement is a win for Trump.
And it's like, yes, that's true.
It is a win for Trump.
Um, but it's like less of a win than if they were to endorse who the rank and file voted for the teamsters to endorse, which was Donald Trump.
Yeah.
Kind of a complicated situation.
Like my dad reached out to me like he always does.
And he's like, you need to have a talk with Sean O'Brien.
And I'm like, you need to have a talk with the party that just welcomed Dick Cheney with open arms, bro.
Quit looking in my backyard.
All right.
That's all I got to say.
First of all, and then second of all, like Sean O'Brien, it wasn't his decision.
It was a decision by the, by the executive board of the Teamsters deciding not to endorse.
I'm shocked.
They didn't endorse Trump because we have here the results of The polls here, this is a thing we've never done as Teamsters.
I've been a Teamster for 18 years.
We've never actually done like a survey to decide who we should endorse.
The Teamsters just usually endorse the Democrat.
They set up a poll that I didn't even hear about.
I only knew about it from, what do you call it?
Just somebody told me he was like if you voted in the poll and I was like what poll they're like the presidential poll, and so there was you didn't find out on purpose.
I feel like they didn't tell you on purpose.
I know because they didn't want my preferred candidate RFK junior to win exactly that yeah that that makes absolute sense.
They really they're really doing anything they can to keep him down, but he's he's still fighting and I you know I love that for him.
Well, he endorsed Trump, you know, so that's the best of both worlds.
That's what we love.
That's what we love to see.
I'm being sarcastic in case anybody's new to the show here.
So there were two votes.
There was a town hall vote where you could come out.
And I remember this.
I remember getting an invitation to the town hall vote where you go to the actual union hall and you participate in a vote.
Those votes went for Biden.
Those happened before Biden dropped out.
They went to Biden 44%.
They went to Trump, 36%.
RFK, 5.6%.
Extremely embarrassing.
Like I said on Twitter, voting for RFK as a Teamster, almost more embarrassing than voting for Trump.
You're just like trying to be a stinker, I think, if you vote for RFK.
Even more so than the average Trump voter.
And then Cornel West got 1.7.
Man, you remember when Cornel West was like part of the conversation for like three seconds?
Yeah.
Uh, he's been, he's been kind of weird lately.
I think he's been, he's been, I don't know.
Don't run for, you don't need to run for president brother.
You can just keep going on podcasts, keep going on Joe Rogan and that shit and, and do some good work there.
I forgot what it was, but he did something pretty early on where I was like, well, fuck this sucks.
I like, I wasn't even able to get excited about him.
He like said something really, like really pretty early on in his thing.
And I even forgot what it was, but immediately it was like, well, nevermind.
Nevermind.
Nothing to get excited about here.
But there was a second poll.
There was an in-person, these straw poll, these town hall, town hall straw polls that were held April 9th to July 3rd.
I wasn't going to go out for this.
I was like, no, I don't care enough about endorsing Biden to actually participate in this.
I think that would be pretty embarrassing as a matter of fact.
And then they did a second poll.
And this is the one that I was talking about online that I found out you could vote for.
I think like the IBT, the International Brotherhood of Teams, there's a reform caucus within The teams just tweeted something out or posted something and I was like, what?
You can vote on mine?
And I was like, oh, okay, I'll go vote for RFK Jr.
online, you know?
Yeah.
This poll, the electronic member poll, came out almost 60% for Trump, 59.6% for Trump, 34% for Harris, and then 6.4% for everybody else.
Something like 4% of the Teamsters actually participated in this poll.
This is not like that's that's so good to know.
I was like that number makes this a lot a lot better because this is a pretty lopsided pretty hefty for Trump.
Yeah, but I mean, the Teamsters like decided to hold this poll.
They decided to go with whatever third party.
This was independently managed by Ballot Point Election Services.
So I've heard of Ballot Point before.
It's what I think that's what we use to vote on the contract.
Or that's what we've used to do to do something.
I can't remember.
Sounds familiar.
I didn't know about that.
I think it advertised this straw poll in the back of one of my monthly or quarterly Teamsters magazines.
I'm kind of not surprised that an online poll that was probably participated in by the most online and most annoying weirdos within the Teamsters did heavily skew for Trump because as many as like annoying lefties like myself there are in the Teamsters, there's more annoying Trump voters in the Teamsters, unfortunately.
I believe it's possible that the lefties and the Democrats could outnumber the Trump voters, but I don't know.
I don't have any of that information but anyway, that's kind of this that's kind of like the facts as they Appear to be and what the numbers are that the teamsters is that the teamsters are releasing And I I just kind of wanted to go through I guess okay before we get started here I just like I want to clarify that throughout this
We're going to be dealing with a lot of Trump Teamsters supporters and we're and I'm going to be pushing back on a lot of a lot of the things they say to put it politely.
This is not to be under shouldn't be understood as an endorsement of Harris and Walls.
We're not endorsing Harris and Walls on this show.
People, by now, if you've been listening, you kind of know my feelings about electoral politics.
I think you know how I feel about this election in general.
Just don't take... The biggest, I think, point of discussing all of this is not to convince Teamsters to vote for Democrats.
I think that that is Not a great goal to have.
Yeah.
I think pushing reactionary Teamsters away from the Republicans is the goal that Democrat and left wing Teamsters should be working towards, you know, and obviously you have to not just push them away from the Republican Party, but into something productive like class politics, like rank and file organizing, that sort of thing.
But we hear a lot of these rhetorical arguments.
There are so many loud Trump teamster, you know, Trump supporting teamsters that those are kind of the arguments that I'm going to be addressing here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
And also, I mean, I know it's hard for you because I know you're a big Jill Stein guy, right?
There's not really much for you to stand on here with that.
So, um, so respect to that, you know, with, with respect, keeping that in mind, we'll, we'll continue this conversation.
Uh, so like in the post, the teamsters did.
So there's like people, everybody's mad about this.
Essentially Trump, Trump voters are mad, but they're also kind of like celebratory.
They're also kind of like, you know, eat my ass.
We won in the straw poll, but also we're being, we're being silenced by leadership because they're choosing not to endorse Trump, even though he won a 60%.
Like, I get it.
I get why you're mad.
I'm just happy you're mad.
To be clear, I am happy we're not endorsing Trump.
I think that's a good thing.
I think so much damage has already been done by O'Brien visiting the RNC that it's kind of a moot point.
I'm glad we're not endorsing Trump.
Trump supporters, they have a bone, they have ammunition right here.
I'm looking at it in the form of this poll, right?
So you can understand why they would be mad.
And then you got the Democrats, the liberals who are like, well, O'Brien loves Trump and that's why they didn't endorse Harris.
And it's like, no, O'Brien has a bunch of other people on his executive board who hate Trump, and that's why they didn't endorse Trump.
Yeah.
That's what happened here.
I'm guessing.
I'm not going to speak for anybody, but I'm guessing that's what happened.
That sounds about right.
And so it's just like there's kind of like several different conversations happening and liberals and Democrats can try to Bully or argue Trump supporters into, you know, moving away from Trump or supporting Harris or whatever.
But the structure of this poll and endorsement is like, well, if the Teamsters had done this survey and then endorsed Harris, It would have been crazy.
It would have been fucking pandemonium.
Like I don't, they fucked them.
The teamsters fucked themselves.
The, the leadership fucked themselves by doing all this in the first place.
If they weren't going to endorse, you know what I mean?
So I don't have like sympathy for them necessarily in this respect, but so those are the kind of, uh, It's the kind of angles we're looking at it here.
Yeah, go ahead.
You would think that like the the Reagan family endorsement of Kamala might have helped here a little bit, but not so much.
So that's cool that they did that for no reason.
Who from the Reagan family endorsed her?
Like the remaining people, the people that are like still alive.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I mean, one of them is a huge lib.
Ronald Reagan Jr.
is a huge lib.
But I don't even know if they would know that.
But anyway, so I wanted to get into, so I wanted to start with like pro-Trump arguments I'm seeing from Teamsters and my Teamsters groups concerning this.
And you know, the first one I did just, I loved is Jimmy says, Trump 2024 space dot dot business first will make us money emoji.
Like to have this level of ignorance, like seems so nice to think that like, The corporate the corporate deals are going to make for people are going to benefit you as an employee.
Yeah.
Is so sad.
It's just like sad that you still think that, like, no, they're going to they're going to they're going to give you some sort of big break and we're going to benefit from it.
Right.
Like, I don't.
I don't know how you're a team because even these reactionary teamsters are still hostile towards our management, are still hostile towards our CEO, and they'll just cloak it in DEI language or they'll cloak it in wokeness or yada yada yada, but they're still like, Actively, like UPS is doing fucked up things that make our job harder, that provide worse service, that provides worse service to the customer, that sort of thing.
So yeah, it's like, well, in what experience have you seen where UPS does so well and then they pay it back to us somehow?
That's the question I would ask maybe if you're trying to like treat this as an actual argument.
But also, like, I guess the most charitable way I could look at this is we're, you know, if we're talking UPS Teamsters or if we're talking other like, you know, strong, strong, good contracts within the Teamsters.
Sure, a booming economy will help us because we have the mechanisms in place to leverage that booming economy.
We already have the contracts.
We already have the labor organization done.
Fuck everybody else.
Everybody else who's going to get, you know, the, the company's income is going to get used to buy stock buybacks instead of hiring enough workers or yada, yada, yada.
All the other ways in which companies profiting does not trickle down to its employees sucks for them.
We're union.
So like you there, you could do like, Oh, there's a labor aristocracy kind of to this, which I don't really think that's what Jimmy is saying.
I think Jimmy is just American.
I think Jimmy is just a capitalism-pilled brainwormed American who just thinks that the economy does good.
We all do good.
Yeah, exactly.
Which is, like, so sad.
Because, I mean, honestly, the one thing that, like, Trump can do here is drop some sort of federal law that's going to circumvent union rights.
Like, that's really the only thing that's going to possibly happen here.
Cut regulations enough to where the competition at FedEx or at Amazon or whatever can undercut UPS or other unionized labor so much that it actually does, you know, make it make a difference.
Yeah.
Sure.
That could absolutely happen.
Another defensive Trump here defensive voting for Trump.
Greg says communism or constitutional Republic should be the only decision you need to make.
I wish it was that easy.
I wish that was the ballot we could check.
So are we going to go into communism or are we going to remain in this constitutional republic?
Yeah, just in the back, in like your Reader's Digest magazine, you scan a QRC code and you vote for communism if you're a sensible person.
But, um, I love this.
This is like the level of discourse.
You're talking to, like, presumably a union guy.
A guy who has these job protections and this contract and probably a decent wage.
All these things that make his life and his family's life, I can see his family in his profile pic, make their lives, like, worth living.
Like, you know, uh, Give you the resources you need to not just survive, but thrive and have a good time while you're doing it.
And you still think that basic politics can be boiled down to constitutional republic or communism?
And it's like, bro, you're going to... A farmer has two cows yourself out of a fucking living wage, bro.
Yep.
You're going to, PragerU, placemat your kids into working for $12 an hour.
Like I promise you, the only thing that's going to keep you between you and those paddle boards you have in your profile pick is capitalism.
I, I can, I can assure you that like communism is not going to take your paddle boards.
Uh, the fact that you're not going to be able to have any time off of work is what's going to keep you off your paddle boards.
Yeah.
Or the, like the ocean, the fucking oceans and waterways being too fucking polluted for you to go inside of them.
Um, Yeah, hmm.
Let's see.
As workers, which do we want?
A system of government that is ordered and governed by workers' councils made up of the productive members of society?
Or a system where a bunch of millionaires get to argue with each other over who gets to best get credit card kickbacks in a government role?
Yeah, yeah.
Think about it, bud.
This one was great.
Another pro-Trump argument I saw was from Drew, who says, My opinion is just look at our economy.
The Democrats want more suffering, comma, as a Republican.
control.
My opinion is just look at our economy.
The Democrats want more suffering comma as a Republican.
I want more freedom.
And that's what it was.
We thought it was complicated with like, oh, communism versus, versus syndicalism or, or representational monarchy.
Uh, what?
No, no.
It's suffering versus freedom.
Yep.
Like easy choice.
So I don't, I don't know.
I think a lot, you know, a lot of these people, I don't know if there's a way you could talk to them.
And it's just, again, it's that delusion.
Who do you think the freedom they're providing is for?
Do you think the freedom is for you, the employee, the worker?
Or is the freedom for the corporation to do whatever the fuck they want?
Because it's been shown time and time again that the freedom literally only is going to take away your time.
It's their freedom to tell you what you can and can't do.
Yeah, freedom for rich people.
Freedom for people with a lot of money.
What freedom do you think you're getting back?
Do you think Trump's going to bring the Four Loko back?
The real one?
No, he's not.
Oh, I didn't think about that.
I mean, can I be a little optimistic there?
Can I maybe just hope?
If anything, it's going to be the true Midwestern redneck in the race.
Tim Walz is going to bring back the Four Loko.
I would love to see a candidate pop one.
What was the first one that looked like a battery?
The can looked like a battery.
No, it was, it was the alcoholic, the alcoholic beer that looked like a battery.
It was like orange on top and silver on the bottom.
And it was like, it was the one before.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It had like the plus and minus thing.
Ooh, that's a good question.
Someone just crack one of those on the podium and drink and make, just so you know, that was original.
That was original formula.
And if you vote for me, these are coming back, baby.
You ready to get real drunk and not tired at all?
It's a great combination.
You know, I'm a father of two wonderful girls.
You kind of pause for cheering.
And as a girl dad, I know sometimes you need double the relief.
Am I right?
That's why I drink 4 Loko.
Caffeine and alcohol.
When I, you know, when I, when I'm drunk and also got a lot of energy, I can just not even think about, you know, people trying to violate my daughter's purity by influencing them to become, you know, a non-binary.
Yeah, the last kind of pro-Trump argument that I saw that I really liked was on Twitter and it's from Steam Happy who says, Teamsters know that President Trump is the GOAT POTUS!
He is beloved by all MAGA Patriot Americans.
Absolute legend and hero.
He makes me so proud every single day.
I wish I could shake his hand.
He is such a giga-chad.
No.
No.
MAGA is good.
MAGA is great.
MAGA is forever.
Period.
Hashtag Trump 2024.
American flag.
This guy, uh, when I say this guy's real, I don't mean necessarily that it's not an AI chatbot.
That might be true.
True.
I mean that this is a genuine pro-Trump account.
Yes.
Yes, this is not this is not something because it does read as funny.
It does read as somebody like making fun of it.
Also, I would love to I would love to see the reaction from a lot of the the MAGA Patriots to to like phrases like GOAT POTUS.
Giga Chad, they're going to love.
But GOAT POTUS is amazing.
They would be like, oh, yeah, totally, man.
That's totally a cool thing to say.
They would all have to like pretend that this Cartoon soy face avatar gushing about about Trump being a giga Chad is cool.
Actually.
Yeah, that's actually how I feel too.
I actually think about Trump every day.
He makes me so proud.
He's my hero.
I tell my children, you know, I wish I wish that he had fathered them.
I wish your dad was Trump.
The avatar, it looks like the SpaghettiOs mascot, but it's just like a yellow oval cartoon with his mouth wide open to make kind of the inside of the O. It looks like it's saying squee.
You know how some cartoons say they say squee?
Looks like what he's saying.
And he's squeeing for Trump.
And then it has, like, little, like, arms and legs, and the arms are kind of reminiscent of, like, the Mario ghost.
Like, this is kind of... I thought it was just a play on an emoji, just, like, a more characterized emoji.
But it also has little arms and legs.
Could be a boot.
This is, like... This is almost an original thing.
Yeah, could be a boo.
Yeah, so just, you know, if you're trying to convince Teamsters to vote for Trump, just show him this tweet.
Show him this guy who makes a lot of good arguments.
Hey, before you don't vote for Trump, have you considered that he is the goat POTUS?
And why would you not vote for the goat?
If I were... Dang, vote for the goat!
Vote for the goat.
Pay me, folks, if you want to use that for your campaign.
If I were a woman, my underwear would be sopping wet just thinking about shaking Trump's hand.
Yeah, I'd be like, man, I gotta wear my period panties just because I'm so wet.
So the next thing I kind of wanted to talk about was like defenses against Trump because with this teamsters non endorsement but with the vote being public showing that you know the teamsters they polled at least voted overwhelmingly for Trump.
You're seeing a lot of people be like, why?
Why are they vote?
Why do they like Trump?
It seems very weird.
Now, people have been paying attention to politics should know that this is mostly about culture war stuff.
And I would say it's mostly about how voting for a Democrat means you're a woman, whereas voting for the Republican means you're a man.
I think that's kind of most of what's at play here.
You are seeing a lot of arguments about Trump's history, Trump, what he's done with his previous NLRB, what he's done in his personal life as it pertains to workers.
And one of the things that, you know, pro-Harris or at least anti-Trump outlets are trying to remind Teamsters of is Project 2025.
Now, this is something we've kind of addressed on the show before.
This is a Heritage Foundation Plan that was developed by a bunch of former Trump staffers.
That's not to mention that the Heritage Foundation in general is a very influential think tank policymaker within the Republican Party.
They've been around for decades.
They've gotten a lot of stuff passed.
They've gotten a lot of bodies in in judgeships, including the Supreme Court.
And so you see this, you see this reaction of like, that's fake.
Project 2025 is fake because that's the Heritage Foundation.
Whoever even heard of the Heritage Foundation?
That's not Trump.
Trump said, I disavow.
Trump went on stage and said, Oh, project 2025.
I disavow.
Nevermind that what JD Vance wrote the foreword of the president of the Heritage Foundation's new book that they like delayed releasing because of the 2025 thing.
Nevermind that like, yeah, he's been working to further these policies as long as he's been running for president, let alone has been president.
So like the other 98%, which is like a progressive Facebook page, posted a notice to all Teamsters.
Don't forget that Project 2025 all but eliminates overtime pay.
And this is, yeah, one of the pieces of Project 2025 is that it's going to recognize a different structure for overtime pay.
And only if you work like more than a certain amount of hours in the whole month or something like that, that's when you would be Entitled to overtime and I mean it's all just kind of a joke anyway because the goal would be ultimately to never pay anybody anything so that number is always going to be whittled down no matter how much success they have with whatever current plan of restructuring yada yada yada the goal is to get that number to zero either way
But you know, this is like, uh, this is kind of like what the Democrats are running with project 2025.
This is Trump's project 2025.
And so then you get all the NPCs on the right wing who are like, I heard, I heard that project 2025 was written by CNN to make Donald Trump look bad.
Like, that's like the response you're getting here.
Um, and so like grant responds, this is not the place for political lies.
In response to tying Trump to the 2025 project?
Yes.
That's amazing.
This is not the place for political lies.
Looking like fucking Heisenberg from Breaking Bad.
Actually, this is Facebook, right?
Yeah.
This is absolutely the place for political lies, bro.
This is totally the place for that.
I don't know where you think you're at.
Somebody posted something else like, About the presidential race in a group.
And I said something and somebody responded to me.
This is not a political site.
Liberal.
Where do you think you're at?
Also, you just said liberal and they spelled, they spelled site, you know, like a sick site full of demons.
Yes.
Pretty good.
Love it.
I love it.
Every time that happens.
Uh, Oh yeah, this is from a liberal though.
Linda Pearson says, still can't believe they chose not to endorse.
Their president needs to go.
He got to get out of here.
They're going to fucking.
I'm just like imagining Kamala putting out a fucking Gaddafi level hit on President Sean O'Brien, having him drug into the streets by a militant reform reform caucus within the Teamsters and then sodomized with a fucking bayonet.
I thought when they said their president, they were talking about their president as in like Trump, as in like their president, as in the MAGA people's president.
But yeah, no, she's talking about Sean O'Brien, huh?
Yeah, other people have presidents, Tony.
You're too Trump-brained.
You're too fried.
I'm sorry.
I was a bit confused.
I was too moved by their avatar, by their profile pic.
I was too moved by that.
That seems to be a cartoon of Kamala Harris walking in a pantsuit, carrying a briefcase, but her shadow is a little girl.
Do you know who that little girl was, Tony?
Is that little girl all the little girls or is that little girl is that little girl the girl from the Alabama school?
That little girl was me.
me.
Oh, I was thinking way too hard about it.
This is the shirt.
This is the shirt that went viral after that little girl was me.
That little girl that you did racism to, Joe Biden, was me.
Can I please work in your administration?
Amazing.
Amazing.
Uh, yeah, but yeah, there's a lot of people trying to do regime change on the Teamsters.
There's a lot of liberal Democrats, uh, begging, begging, uh, NATO to intervene.
And that's like another thing.
It's like you are, you're, you are like not seeing the trees for the forest.
Like Sean O'Brien is still doing good things for the Teamsters.
Like he's still like, you know, those things are still working out like for, for he's still doing good stuff for the Teamsters.
But this political thing is a little, It's not great, not a great look.
But like when it comes to, you know, your check and your benefits and, you know, your rights as a worker, I think he's doing fine there.
Yeah, I'm of two minds.
Like I do.
I do like and appreciate that the organization is democratic, that, you know, this is it's decided by the members who the president is.
The contract is decided by the members.
Theoretically, the endorsement of a political candidate, I guess, is better if it's supported by the members, kind of.
I don't know.
I feel like leadership should be pushing... I'm okay with leadership attempting to push membership of the rank-and-file into a more radical direction, into a more class-conscious, adversarial, self-aware direction.
And I'm okay with Him trying to influence the rank and file.
Um, I would be okay because I think that that would be Objectively a better project for the union.
I think that would ultimately serve the members of the union because it would be strengthening the union even if some members had a had a like a Rhetorical disagreement with it or whatever.
Um, I don't think Pushing the members to support Harris Walls qualifies as that.
I don't think just checking a box for Harris Walls on behalf of your members does anything but piss off the members.
Like, I don't, you know, if you were to actually do the work to move members in a leftward, class-conscious direction, And then incidentally, that made more of them amenable to the Democrats or whatever.
I'm not sure that that would be the effect, you know, but.
I you know, that's whatever a happy accident for for Democratic boosters, I guess, but that's I don't know, like I would be OK with some sort of I don't know what the what the term and what the political term is, but an elected figure pushing Pushing for stronger, you know, pushing for us to be stronger in certain areas, even if we're not there yet.
I think that would be, that would be a fine use of power.
But no, I don't want to, I don't care if Sean O'Brien isn't specifically boosting the Democrats because it's like the whole point of endorsing is you get something out of the endorsement.
You know, I mean, like maybe the candidate is so good that you just want them to win on principle and you don't even need something in return for the endorsement or whatever.
But that's like the point of the endorsement.
The point of flexing on them is to get something for your members to have.
There's a point to the collective bargaining.
There's a point to the organizing.
And you can't do that if you just endorse automatically, like the way that Sean, Sean Fane did for the UAW.
You know, they're this radical, more radical organization now.
And yet they just endorsed Biden, like before he even didn't even have to endorse.
I mean, I guess they probably came out and endorsed Harris now, too.
But like that's that doesn't show strength that that shows weakness like that that shows Fear, almost.
Yeah, absolutely.
But anyway, moving on to defenses of Trump and Republicans within these Teamsters conversations.
Stacy says, Republicans have relentlessly fought for and overwhelmingly supported right-to-work legislation and have never been a friend of labor.
Absolutely.
Karen replies, that was mostly for the teachers in my state, so teachers weren't forced to join that pathetic union they have.
You know, teachers having the best time ever in America right now.
Teachers just, like, historically having the most support and the most comfort as a, you know, in their profession.
Teachers not having to, like, post wish lists on their personal Instagrams, hoping they can get, you know, hoping their friends can help provide school supplies for them.
Yeah, teachers totally, thank God they didn't join that pathetic union.
Yeah, I mean, if you're calling it a pathetic union because teachers don't have enough money to, you know, fund their classrooms or they have to, like, buy supplies out of pockets, yeah, that is kind of pathetic.
No, I think you mean it's pathetic, the pathetic union because they were, like, arguing for safety measures during COVID or something like that.
Like, that's why you think the union is, quote, pathetic.
Because they were too strong.
Like, you're like, no, the right to work state was actually, the right to work law was put there so that people didn't have to join those pathetic unions.
No, like the union was too strong, even in its like weakened state for you to tolerate.
And so that's why these are there.
I also just, in general, the reason I love this comment is because you're like, no, we only did right to work to punish the woke teachers that I don't like.
Like who is anybody going to tell Karen that the right to work applies to her to that applies to every single person in the state?
Like this is like an amazing example of somebody fucking cutting off their nose to spite their face, you know, being being tricked into.
attacking one sector of working class people and having it just back, you know, blow back on the whole fucking class in that state.
Well, people have this like false idea of a teacher or maybe like a nurse, you know, that, They do think that I think they haven't grown up.
They think that a teacher is like this protected class, this like other class of individual.
It's like, no, that's a teacher.
Like, no, the teachers are still not making a whole lot of money and they're still struggling.
They do have they do have.
Certain defenses and stuff because of a union that other people don't have.
They think that those protections come from the inherent idea of just quote being a teacher.
It's like, no, that's not where any of their power comes from.
Well, they know it comes from the union.
That's why they're trying to defund them.
You know what I mean?
Like they think like people allow them to unionize because teachers are untouchable or whatever.
It's like, yeah, bitch, they are.
They do the most fundamental thing in society possible.
I don't know what you're fucking taught, what you're, what you're, did you get wrapped on the knuckles too many times?
Like, uh, Yeah.
Um, but it's, you know, it's, it's just like, Oh, well that's only for the bad.
And we only got right to work for the bad employees.
I don't like, and it's like, I'm sorry to tell you, no, it's for you too.
You like, we only got the Patriot Act so that we could, so that we could strip Muslims in airports and TSA.
And now all of a sudden I have to take off my shoes.
What the fuck?
Like, that's what we're, that's what we're doing here.
Um, This one I love.
So Jose Castillo comments on the other 98% and says, a notice to all Teamsters dot, dot, dot.
Don't forget that illegal immigrants are here to replace you.
And this is so, this is so cool because this is a big argument.
This is a big thing that motivates like the American working class Is that, well, illegals are going to take our jobs, and Democrats love illegal immigrants, and so...
They're going to bring them over, whereas Trump isn't.
And it's like, never mind that Democrats are doing kids in cages.
Never mind that Democrats are deporting record numbers of people, that they're breaking the law to prevent asylum seekers from seeking asylum here.
Never mind all that.
Pretend that what, you know, the meme in the mind of the right-wing voter is true, that they are bringing undocumented immigrants here to replace you or whatever.
I don't have to worry about that, bro, because I have a union.
They can't hire an undocumented worker to drive a truck for $5 an hour because I have a contract that says they can't do that.
Yeah, exactly.
Being in a union is the number one protection against your labor being undercut by an exploited migrant or by a By, um, you know, a newbie coming up that they can pay, you know, that it happens all the time in the industry, in like, not the industry, in various industries, they just, they just fire you.
You start getting too expensive because you have knowledge and because you have, you know, this, these years of experience.
And so they just fire you and get it, make a kid replace you for what?
$18 an hour or whatever, as opposed to the 30 you used to be making, unless you have a union, unless you have a contract that says they can't do that.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
It's just, it's just funny because yeah, anybody, any, anytime, any one of these union guys wants to talk to me about undocumented immigrants or what I'm like, bro, you should be arguing for that undocumented immigrant to be able to come out of the shadows and have rights to work because if they have all those rights to work, There's no danger to you.
And then if there's no jobs left, then the, then people will stop migrating to, to here because that's why people come here is because there's jobs, man.
And if there's, and if there's no jobs, then they won't be able to fucking work, you know?
Um, and I like, and no, I don't have anything at all against undocumented immigrants, even if they do come here and, and get jobs and work under the table or whatever, because they're doing what they have to, to survive.
And it's the people who are exploiting them who are the real fucking villains here.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
And so that's the whole thing.
Like all these same people, if you were to ask them, you know, like what they would do to support their family, what they would do, the lengths they would go to make sure that like their families had security and safety.
Well, I wouldn't break the federal law.
I wouldn't break the law, Tony.
Okay.
Yeah.
I love, I love this country way too much to ever break one of her precious laws.
They would probably even go like so far.
Like, I mean, well, if I, if I had to, I would like move to Porto Varda and open a pizza shop.
If I had to, I guess I would go down to Acapulco and try to start a libertarian commune.
If I was really at my wits end.
If I was really pushed to it.
They can't take my money because it's all in the blockchain.
Um, I don't want to spend too much, too much time, more time on this topic, but he like, uh, I liked this one, this defense of the heritage foundation.
You know, somebody said project 25 isn't a Trump that well, it's 2025 project 25 isn't a Trump thing.
Do some research.
I love getting the title of the thing wrong in your comment about how other people need to do research.
That's also great.
It's also just, If you see somebody, say, do some research about Project 2025, it literally means they did not hear about it until they saw a Sean Hannity segment about a CNN segment about Project 2025 or whatever.
Not to, like, call you out or anything like that, but I don't know if you know this, but the real wonks, us real wonks, we've been talking about it a lot, so much so that we did decide to start calling it Project 25 because the two extra characters were taking up too much time for how often I post about it.
You should still have to put the apostrophe.
You should still have to put the apostrophe.
Okay, that's true.
That's true.
That's very true.
But Jeff replies, it is done by the Heritage Foundation, which is a think tank.
They do not back any candidate.
Do your research before commenting.
Uh, the thing that pisses me off is as this was written by a think tank, which legally they're not allowed to endorse any candidate.
I don't know if you know how politics works.
Yeah.
Think tanks.
That's not a political party.
They're just, they just think, they just think about stuff.
Wouldn't that be cool if that was true?
If it was like the think tanks were just places where people just like bounce ideas off each other and they, they weren't, they weren't allowed to like actually, You know, right, right.
Policy, right.
Policy.
And you know, like get, get different politicians to endorse them and lobby for those things.
It'd be, that'd be cool.
It's just so funny.
Like how fucking naive are you?
Like, like you're so naive that you believe things you yourself made up.
Yeah.
You know, like you don't even have to be tricked by anyone else.
Like you're doing, you're doing that.
You're doing all that work.
The reason why they think in a tank is so those ideas are confined into a tank.
Scott here kind of owns me because he says on the flip side the contract overrides project 2025 which by the way has been around since 1989 dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot lol dot dot dot dot dot dot dot there are easy targets on both sides so he got my ass Like I was saying, if you got a contract, illegal immigration doesn't matter.
Well, if you got a contract, the erosion of everybody else's workers' rights don't matter either.
Booyah.
So I can fucking, I can vote the fuck over everybody because I still got my contract.
I like that.
I like that argument.
That's right.
That's a winning argument.
So, I don't know.
Obviously, a lot more work to do within the Teamsters.
I'll get right on it, folks.
Thank you.
Don't worry.
I'm on it.
We're all depending on you.
you like you know this uh election is on your on your back now
so
yeah moving on to uh our next topic here Do you see Kamala say that she would rather die than let an intruder rape and possibly murder her family?
I mean, you know, in hearing that, I'm thinking that's a reasonable thing to say.
She said, every night I have dreams about my partner being violated and my, and my children being submitted to white slavery.
And I will murder the person who, uh, even, even hints at being responsible for that.
It is funny hearing that from somebody who like is constantly surrounded by like secret service and has been for quite some time.
And really like your, your, your biggest thing to worry about is what's been happening in Donald Trump and not someone invading your home.
Uh, this is from, I'm reading from Biz Pack Review.
Kamala, now pro-gun, tells Oprah if someone breaks into her house, they're getting shot.
Did you see the clip?
No.
No, it's awesome.
Yeah, it's great.
Uh, yeah, I'm going to read here from Biz Pack Review.
Uh, the ultimate politician is product.
Democrat nominee Kamala Harris is being repackaged in real time to peel off enough gullible swing voters from Donald J. Trump and key states to lock down her party's control of the federal government in the upcoming election.
Yeah, let's hope the Democrats can do castle doctrine wish casting hard enough to win over your Facebook uncle.
That is how they're going to win this election.
Hey, never underestimate Black Girl Magic, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, they're gonna post about, you know, like, they'll be posting AI images of, you know, an attractive young teenager being tied to a chair with a gag in her mouth.
Being like, this is what every homeowner's worst nightmare is.
This is what you're voting for?
You try to go into the house, slip on the floor, because there's too much blood.
In the latest example of the California Chameleon's cynical metamorphosis...
The California chameleon cynical metamorphosis.
Those are bars.
That was some lyrical miller type shit right there.
I like that.
Harris appeared for a star-studded town hall style event hosted by billionaire entertainment mogul Oprah Winfrey.
And in one highlight, she claimed that she owns a gun and that she would shoot an intruder who broke into her house.
During the live streamed quote, Unite for America rally from Farmington Hills, Michigan, Harris was perfectly set up by Winfrey during a conversation about school shootings.
Quote, I'm a gun owner.
Tim Walls is a gun owner, Harris proclaimed.
I did not know that, exclaimed Winfrey, acting surprised.
And I thought that was powerful.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did Oprah Winfrey really say I thought that was powerful to Kamala Harris owning a gun?
I doubt it.
I mean, I don't know.
I feel like I feel like I'm kind of surprised Oprah doesn't have some really cool guns.
I thought that was powerful.
That was powerful.
When I found out you were strapped.
If somebody breaks into my house, they're getting shot.
Sorry.
The cackling Veep replied.
Probably should not have said that, she added, as joyous laughter broke out from the crowd.
But my staff will deal with that later.
If you watch the clip, it's a huge line.
She gets like a huge applause.
If somebody breaks into my house, they're getting shot.
Sorry.
Yes, yes.
I hear that.
I hear that.
Probably should not have said that.
My staff will deal with that later.
I don't know.
Because, like, with the school shooting stuff, America, like, particularly Democrats, have had to, like, pretend, I guess, that most Americans aren't, you know, psychotic, wannabe Castle Doctrine-style suburbanites.
But this kind of just, like, gave everybody permission to cheer on.
Yeah.
Hey, listen.
If you value... If you... I don't value my TV more than your life.
You do.
You do, you know?
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, like, honestly, it's one thing is like, I mean, that's that's cool.
I would like to maybe see what you're actually talking about here when it comes to, like, gun ownership rights.
But I mean, sure.
The idea of like, I will I will go I will become Denzel if you break into my house.
I get applauding for that.
That's a pretty easy, like, dumb line.
If you're like, yeah, hell yeah, I'd shoot someone for my kid.
Right.
Yeah, I guess if somebody breaks into your house, all bets are off, sure.
Yeah, yeah.
Not something I think is healthy to have in the forefront of your mind.
No, especially in your position.
It's not something that indicates a sensible person.
If you're just proffering that stuff, if that's where your mind goes, I don't know.
Like, I think it's more healthy to be like, yeah, in a zombie apocalypse, I'll be ready.
You know, because that way you're not talking about real people, you know, you're just talking about zombies, but people kind of get what you're going for, you know?
Listen, Oprah, uh, if, uh, you know, 30 to 40 wild boars come running through my lawn, I'm ready.
Harris' sudden reversal on guns isn't just pure pandering to the same type of voter who swallowed the malarkey that Joe Biden was a quote moderate in 2020, but also another example of how leftists, especially powerful ones, think that they are above the rules that apply to ordinary people.
What rules are these?
Uh, they just talk, they go on to say how she like has been in favor of, uh, gun buybacks and, um, oh, and she also wants to do like mental health checks on people, uh, people who have mental health history, uh, for guns, which I know that could be, uh, used or weaponized against, uh, whatever neurodivergent people.
But I also think that, uh, it's good to regulate who has guns to a certain, not the worst idea to a certain degree.
And I'm, I, I'm not at all, you know, not at all shocked that a government official would be like, yeah, we need to make sure people who shouldn't have guns don't have guns like that.
That's pretty sensible to me.
Of course, I don't trust anybody in power in general, but as long as we're like structuring society, I believe that should be a part of it.
You know, it's a good idea.
I'm not sure how it's going to be implicated, but yes, you're right.
Yeah.
Harris's crowd-pleasing gun remarks would also seem to be incompatible with the view she has previously expressed that quote, stand your ground laws are racist.
Now, stay on your ground is different than Castle Doctrine, right?
I mean, I guess people apply Castle Doctrine to public settings, and that's how you get stand.
You stand your ground essentially completely different things.
No, I don't believe you should be able to start a fight with somebody and then finish it with a gun because you know, because you felt in danger halfway through the fight or whatever.
And it's like it's not, that's not an outlash comment.
We've seen, we've seen standing your ground be used to justify the murder of non-white people over and over again.
It's not, it's not like a, a completely, you know, she's not pulling that out of her ass.
I'm just, I'm not, it's funny to like see these Republicans and see these right-wing outlets Like be shocked that she talked about gun ownership.
This is something like Democrats always talk about something that a Democrats always talk about be like.
I guess they're just not usually that psychotic about it.
So it leaves it leaves some something to the imagination for, you know, your NPR anti, you know, anti left campaigns or whatever.
But yeah, I don't know.
Like it's she's it's she was talking to Oprah Winfrey.
So there's like a good chance at this point she was also using her guns for human trafficking.
Yeah, absolutely.
Also, I mean, it would have been fun if like Oprah, you know, had had like the ability to like.
So what kind of gun do you have?
What do you what are you working with over there?
Because that would have been really funny to hear answer that question, because I I don't even I doubt I I'm sure she might like own a gun.
I'm sure she might.
I want I just want to know like how that would have gone.
Yeah, you're anticipating Josie Yahoo who says, first thing I would have asked is, really?
What kind of gun?
Revolver?
Semi-auto?
Striker or hammer?
What caliber?
What name brand?
What type of ammo?
And then I would have asked if she had trained with it.
At which the only answer would have been simply silence.
And that stupid blank look she gets when asked a real question.
Anyone who owns a gun and relies on it for protection would know the answer to every one of these questions without even thinking.
Yeah, try a blunderbuss.
It fits a character of a time when she wouldn't have been allowed to have any rights whatsoever.
Like, what are you saying by that?
She's not old.
What are you saying?
not old.
Like what?
What is he saying?
Well, first of all, the name of the gun is blunderbuss.
This is blunderbussed.
So I don't know if that's a Freudian slip or if it's a pun and he thinks because she's got tits she would have a blunderbust.
I think that's what it is.
That's the kind of gun she would be working with.
That's what I want it to be at least.
But I think it's a pun for blunder, because she makes so many goddamn gaffes on the campaign trail.
She makes so many blunders while she's trying to run this nation.
Great.
And then D1088 says, replies, boom, left carrot, dot, dot, dot, dot, all over the place, comma, dot, dot.
And I think that's what he wants to do to Kamala Harris with the blunder bust.
Yeah, I think so.
It's making it go boom all over the place.
I also love just the original comment, anyone who owns a gun and relies on it for protection would know the answer to every one of these questions.
It's like, do you rely on your gun for protection?
Or are you just insane?
Yeah.
Are you just poisoned by the internet?
Also, I love the list of things that they think that they'd be answering.
The last two, I'm really just looking for maybe the brand and the caliber.
All the other stuff, I'm not really looking for.
Yeah, that's nerd shit.
Like, fuck outta here.
Sorry, you can ask all the people I've shot what kind of hammer I had, all right?
Also, real heads know the answer by the brand and the caliber and the make.
They know the rest of those answers by that.
Yeah, 173rd ABN says, we know they'll get shot.
She enjoys the best SS protection that the government can supply.
Unlike what Trump gets.
They gave Trump the second rate, the second rate one for sure.
They gave Trump the fucking Washington generals.
Yeah.
I love it.
So I love it so much because at first I'm like, yeah, yeah.
She gets the secret service protection.
That's true.
She's a fake, but then it's also gotta be like, unlike what Trump gets, Trump doesn't even get the good, good protection.
My mom said it's my turn with a team, the secret service, a team.
Yeah.
You gotta, you gotta share.
It's not fair.
Walk into dog again says when they were describing a gun to her space comma space.
She thought the receiver was her who who?
What?
Oh, you're talking about a guy.
I thought you were talking about her vagina.
The receiver.
You mean what receives cock in exchange for political appointments?
My vagina.
Like how do you load the gun?
You know, you finish him, you let him finish.
That's how you load the gun.
When describing a gun to Kamala Harris and they said muzzle, she said, oh, you mean like what I should wear?
So stupid.
Her hoo-hoo.
Honestly, jail.
Who's weird?
Not politically correct.
Hold on, buckle up.
Watch out.
That's our little disclaimer.
This is about to be not politically correct.
When the feds come into your house, which they will do if Kamala and Stolen Valor Tampon Tim, rolls off the tongue, are elected, they will take your guns and leave you at risk due to thousands of unvetted illegals and violent felons left on the streets.
That's the only reason illegals aren't fucking knocking down your door, Tony, is because they know that there might be a Trump presidency soon and they'll be held responsible.
Yep, absolutely.
Get the fuck out of here.
She likes guns and that's why she's taking yours.
She needs more of them.
And then walking to dog.
Wow, this guy's great.
Replies.
Ha ha ha.
I know how to make very good bow and arrows.
It's and you know what honestly they might be very good at making good bow and arrows Because they're so focused on making bows and arrows.
They can't actually do sentences correctly like they're so consumed with how to Also, you don't have to make that brother.
You can you can go you can go get that those are pretty unregulated You can go get it.
You can go get a pretty sweet.
Yeah Fucking cheaper than it would cost for you to make your shitty version of it.
I'm loving the idea of Yeah, a guy who, like, the Democrats banned him from having guns.
Parentheses, he was a felon who tried to murder his wife or whatever.
Yeah.
And so he's forced to set out, like, Home Alone-style booby traps for all the illegals that are going to be knocking down his door any minute now.
And so he's just got death traps in his own home that he's like has to walk around like every day because nobody ever comes to visit him, let alone, let alone steal his house or whatever.
The day after the election, you're going to see him outside of his house digging a moat.
I mean, that would suck, though.
Imagine like, oh, damn, bro, you got got like you got you got you got shot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
With a bow and arrow that like a compound.
No, no, it was a homemade.
It was a homemade one.
It's pretty fucked.
This is my favorite comment.
Moonshine says she is she certainly is bilingual if nothing else.
She speaks the language of Satan very fluently.
What?
So guns evil?
So like...
Like defending your house evil?
No, no, Tony, forget it.
It doesn't have anything to do with the specific policy.
She's just lying.
I just love the comment.
Yeah, she code switches between earth and hell.
Yeah, she knows she doesn't want to speak bilingual.
She speaks the fluent language of Satan.
Everything they get.
So there's a level of of like pushback you can you can be taken seriously.
Still, you know, this isn't it.
This isn't it.
Yeah, I just love her her speaking to like a demonic audience.
So she switches to Latin real soon.
You know, it seems kind of fake to me.
I don't I don't know if I believe it, you know, and it's like, well, no, she was born in hell.
She's half demon.
Her mom is Indian.
Her dad is one of those guys frozen in the pit next to Satan.
Yep.
Yep.
Everyone knows that.
She's like, she's like up at a, you know, uh, an abortionist conference or whatever.
And she's like, Oh, you know how we do it in hell.
We got that lake of fire.
Y'all are invited to the next cookout.
Yeah, that's the fake accent they mean.
They mean the accent of Beelzebub.
Yeah, the black tongue of Mordor.
Imagine you're just like up at the podium and she starts like speaking in like a deep, grovelly voice backwards.
They'll say anything, these politicians.
Honestly, like speaking in tongues during your like during your your campaign, you're going to win.
You're going to win for sure.
I bet I don't know.
I bet like African American vernacular English to a certain subset of the American population does sound like speaking in tongues.
Yeah, absolutely.
Like, not even the real stuff, but like, like the stuff that's become internetized, like... Yeah, you know, you know what Gyaat means, right?
Gyaat is straight from Satan.
Gyaat is straight from Satan, just for the record.
I want everyone to know that.
All that stuff is actually straight from Satan.
Uh... God yields all.
God yields all to, uh, to us.
I don't know.
To, to Satan.
Gyaats.
Gyaat.
Every time someone likes this, Kamala is going to show her gyat.
And then the last comment here from walking to dog.
Wow.
God, what a blue star boy for this episode.
Just totally accidental.
The biz pack review comment section.
This is good.
I think people don't walk their dogs enough.
So I like that this person's walking a dog often.
It's written like the way a fucking Batman villain would, a Batman thug, street-level thug, would talk.
Walkin' a dog.
Walkin' da dog.
Walkin', walkin' a dog.
Walkin' da dog.
Oh no, it's da bat.
You know, I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna walk a dog real quick.
That means kill everybody in the bank.
Walking to dog says Oprah is an undercover racist and always has been.
Have you ever seen her come out and endorse a white candidate?
That's funny.
I was reading that and I was thinking that she was like an undercover anti black racist, and I was like, there might be something to that.
This is so good.
Have you ever seen her come out and endorse a white candidate?
And like while I'm thinking, you know, I don't follow Oprah that, but I'm trying to think of like, I know she probably did endorse a Yeah, well, who is who is?
I'm not going to remember his name, the guy who had the secret family that like white politician that everybody loved.
I think he was on like the vice presidential ticket with either Al Gore and words.
Yeah, John Edwards.
She probably endorsed John Edwards or something on her show, but I was saying I was like I was like, you know, I wonder like Bill Clinton.
She probably endorsed maybe I'm sure she did.
I have to pull that saxophone out, but also like There's only been like now two opportunities to endorse a non-white presidential presidential candidate.
So, like, well, I mean, you know, others around for a long time.
I wonder if she like didn't didn't Jesse Jackson run for president like she could have might have endorsed him.
I doubt she did, though.
But I mean, yeah, she could have.
I don't think she did, though.
But I love this.
This is a one-two punch.
While I'm trying to think of, like, the white candidates that she might have endorsed, have you ever seen her come out and endorse a white candidate?
To my knowledge, she's only done that for two candidates, and that's Obama and Harris.
The only time that Oprah has ever endorsed a president of the cabinet in her entire career of, like, 40 years is definitely Obama and Harris.
No, you don't get the joke, Tony.
He's calling them white.
Oh, because they're frauds because Obama is is half white, even though he hates white people.
So he's white.
I'm I'm calling him white to own him.
You know, you know, you know, he's white because he hates white people like white lives, like like white leftists do.
And then Harris is white because she's not black.
She's Indian and Jamaican.
Therefore, she's white.
Actually, I was pretty blown away.
I didn't know until Janet Jackson told me that she's actually not black.
Now, according to Jan Jackson, heard that that her mom is Indian, but her dad is white.
So she's not black at all.
And honestly, I'm going to yield to my queen.
If Janet Jackson says she's not black, then guess what?
Is this a real thing that Janet Jackson said?
I'm not following this here.
Yeah, she goes, I don't know.
I heard that she's not black.
I heard that her dad's white and her mom's Indian.
That's what I heard.
That's really what Janet Jackson said.
And I love it for that.
I love that Janet Jackson gets to live in a world where she doesn't really know stuff.
Doesn't have to know stuff, yeah.
Yeah, good for her.
She doesn't need to know stuff.
She's Janet fucking Jackson.
She gave us Velvet Rope, goddammit.
She gave us Rhythm Nation.
But this is just, I mean, just to hyper focus on this comment.
I'm sorry.
It's so great.
It's so fucking great to me because it's, have you ever seen her?
She's a racist.
Have you ever seen her come out and endorse a white candidate?
She's only endorsing black candidates.
I'm saying this under her endorsement of Kamala Harris.
To my knowledge, she's only ever done this for two white candidates and that's Obama and Harris.
Yeah.
It's like, of course, of course, I get it.
Do you get it?
I mean, you explain it to me.
So you do get it.
I mean, maybe I'm reading too much into this.
Maybe he just does mean regular political candidates.
I don't know.
But I see it as she never endorses white candidates except these two black candidates that I'm upset about her endorsing.
But I'm calling white because I hate them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, that's that's what that's what that's what most white people do is they call they call people white when they hate them.
It's funny how that only works in a certain direction.
